Chapter 8: Is Your Talent Reasonable?
Chapter 8: Is Your Talent Reasonable?
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen let go of the crystal ball and a look of relief appeared on his face.
"call!"
These three kids definitely can't beat Jiraiya.
but.
The fact that the task of snatching the bells could be completed so well was beyond the expectations of the third generation.
He originally thought that—
If these three people can put aside their past grudges and maintain a certain degree of teamwork, perhaps Jiraiya will turn a blind eye and let them go.
But now, Jingyan and Yuhi Kurenai took the initiative to leave space tactically, creating opportunities for Kakashi.
Kakashi didn't make a fuss, but took the initiative to seize the opportunity.
There is a conflict, but it does not affect the assessment.
One yard owned by a yard.
This is mature ninja thinking.
Simultaneously.
Leading all this——
This was the child whom he had never cared about before.
No wonder Jiraiya singled him out.
……
The familiar Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.
the difference is.
Today's hands are in their prime, and their masculine faces are full of youthfulness.
Kakashi put his mask back on.
Jiraiya walked in and yelled, "Boss, four servings of ramen!"
"Okay, please take a seat, all four of you."
Waving hands and smiling.
"You guys sit here, I'll go... buy some barbecue as a snack."
Jiraiya glanced around.
but.
I glanced at him from the side, feeling a little uneasy.
"Jingyan, come with me and go see what you want to eat."
"Yes."
Jingyan stood up respectfully.
The two left.
Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but sigh softly: "Master Jiraiya thinks highly of Kyōhiko!"
"Uh……"
Kakashi's eyes glazed over for a moment, and he seemed to be about to speak, but stopped himself.
He remembered it clearly.
then--
Jiraiya suddenly froze for a moment, distracting himself so he could cooperate in cutting the rope.
Seems to be……
Something like "You don't want to either".
"Kakashi, you seem to know something?"
As a ninja who is good at illusion and perception, Kurenai Yuhi immediately noticed that Kakashi seemed to be a little strange just now.
Kakashi thought about it and answered carefully and briefly.
"Maybe."
"Jiraiya-sama and Kyouhiko?"
"Ah."
……
"Kyohiko, you did a great job today."
"You showed mercy, otherwise we would not have been able to pass."
Kyouhiko is not Naruto or Obito.
He knew very well that the gap between him and the "Three Ninjas" was not even a little bit, and he really didn't want them to get the bell, which was too easy -
A needle Ksitigarbha can put an end to all delusions.
however.
From beginning to end, the strongest ninjutsu Jiraiya had ever used was just the Random Lion Hair Technique, and he didn't use the complete version, just used it as a rope.
This is not just releasing water, it's releasing the sea.
Jiraiya coughed lightly, "After all, this is a Genin assessment, which mainly tests teamwork and attitude, not strength. Also, about that matter…"
"Master Jiraiya, there are some places in the village that you'd better avoid. After all, you are one of the three ninjas and represent the image of our Konoha ninjas."
Jingyan showed the integrity of a young boy.
Jiraiya's face turned red.
He had previously thought that Jingyan had just passed by and had not noticed his lurking.
Now it seems that the other party just doesn't dare to intervene.
He replied awkwardly: "It was for material collection, don't get me wrong."
"Oh."
Jingyan had an expression of "I believe it".
Jiraiya was also embarrassed.
He also knew that these words were hard to convince people.
"Whatever you want to eat, just order something. It's my treat!" "I'm not the one paying, am I?"
"You little brat!"
……
After eating ramen and barbecue, it was already afternoon.
Jiraiya was rarely serious.
"From now on, you are already a team. I hope you can continue the cooperative attitude you showed this morning. Also--"
Jiraiya looked at the three of them, "Have you ever practiced climbing trees and treading water?"
"Ah."
The three of them nodded in unison.
Jiraiya pulled out a piece of paper.
"Kakashi, Hong should have been tested. You can take a test to see which ninjutsu is more suitable for you to practice."
"Although you have good cooperation, Kakashi's lightning escape and swordsmanship are suitable for surprise attacks and assassinations, while Hong's illusion is more for containment and assistance. You lack a frontal player."
Jiraiya's meaning is self-evident.
Jingyan is the most suitable team member for frontal combat.
"Yes, I understand."
Jingyan doesn't practice ninjutsu, does that mean he doesn't want to practice?
There is no chance!
Although he is a descendant of the Senju clan, he has no ninjutsu reserves after being separated from the clan. After two generations of inheritance, he only has pension money left. If he doesn't have a ninjutsu scroll...
Isn't it a waste of money to buy test strips?
He took the chakra paper.
After a while, a damp spot appeared on the paper.
Jiraiya said: "According to the performance of the paper, you directly possess water attribute chakra. Learning water ninjutsu is the fastest and most convenient."
Ninjutsu attributes are innate, but can also be developed later.
The attributes that Jingyan possessed simply meant that it would be easier for him to learn water jutsu.
Theoretically, he could also cultivate other attributes.
"I heard that Kakashi is good at lightning escape. I learned water escape ninjutsu, which can be used in conjunction with lightning escape."
As he spoke, a trace of admiration appeared on his face, "Also, my idol is the Second Hokage, his water jutsu is well-known in the ninja world, even the Hidden Mist Village is no match for him!"
The Second Hokage...
A trace of reminiscence also appeared on Jiraiya's face.
That person's water escape technique is indeed extremely powerful.
It seems.
The child suffered a blow and his personality changed a lot, but he still leaned towards Konoha in his heart.
Jiraiya sighed for a moment, then came back to his senses.
"Okay, I'll teach you Water Rumble later. Hong, your genjutsu is very strong, but you need to increase your training in taijutsu. Kakashi, you have the fewest problems, but you are also the most deadly. You need to take the initiative to cooperate with your partners, understand?"
He commented on them one by one.
The three of them nodded in unison.
With Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi standing by, Jiraiya began to teach ninjutsu.
"Water Wave is a basic water ninjutsu, but it is widely used, very convenient, and not difficult. You can try to learn it first."
Then, he explained the order of making seals.
Chen, Chou, Mao.
While Jiraiya was still talking, Kyouhiko followed suit and then -
Water escape·Water chaos!
Water gushed out of its mouth, turning into a raging torrent.
Jiraiya blinked, stunned for a moment.
With the addition of hand seals and ninjutsu, everything is still well organized.
Chakra control ability is pretty good!
As far as Genin is concerned.
Jingyan's level is already very high.
"Amazing!"
Xihihong couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
First time learning...
I got it right away.
This kind of talent is really amazing.
but.
Jingyan himself knew that the reason he was able to succeed at once was not because of his own talent, but because the water waves were relatively simple, and also because of the reward he received in the morning.
After the chakra control ability is improved, releasing ninjutsu becomes too easy!
Jiraiya didn't want him to be proud, so he pondered for a moment and said, "It's C-level, just the basics of water jutsu. Try the Water Wall, which is a B-level defensive ninjutsu."
"it is good."
Jingyan nodded.
He listened carefully to the order of hand seals, then increased his chakra output and spurted water from his mouth.
After a while——
A water wall about one person high appeared around him, just enough to protect him.
Jiraiya was stunned and shocked for a moment.
You boy!
How come the chakra control ability is so strong!
It’s almost as beautiful as the sunset.
That child is an illusion ninja. He has been practicing illusion since he was young and has a natural talent for it, which is why he has such a high level of chakra control ability!
Where is Jingyan?
Over the past year or so, I have focused on practicing physical skills, substitution techniques, and instant teleportation techniques. I probably only practiced climbing trees and treading water for chakra control.
Is this so reasonable?
Thinking of the pain he had experienced when learning ninjutsu, Jiraiya's mentality collapsed and he fell into a long period of contemplation.
