Konoha's task master

Two figures, one big and one small, ran in the sun.

"Speaking of... Jiraiya-sama, where are we going to eat?" Yakumo said helplessly. After leaving the training ground, Jiraiya only said: "Follow me." and started running endlessly.

At this time, his lungs were burning with flames, and he was gulping air. This feeling reminded him of the experience of the 2,500-meter race in his previous life. At that time, he also reached the limit like this, and every cell in his body was filled with

…exhausted.

The seal in his body has become shaky. If this continues, the body's instinct will break the seal and release the sealed power... In that case, Jiraiya will definitely notice something abnormal about him.

This can't go on like this...

"Jiraiya-sama, I can't run anymore." Yakumo said breathlessly, with a hint of guilt in his voice.

"We arrived just in time. I have good perseverance."

Jiraiya was a little surprised. He originally planned to slow down and wait for Yakumo when he couldn't hold on anymore, but the boy followed him closely and didn't fall behind even half a step.

This perseverance is commendable...

Just like him in the past, he would not have achieved what he has today if he had not been very perseverant.

"here it is…?"

In front of the two of them was a two-story villa that covered a small area but looked antique. Through the gap in the middle of the wooden door, one could see the neatly tidied grassland.

"Come in." Jiraiya opened the door carelessly.

Yakumo quickly followed. Although the scenery in the small courtyard was simple, it showed traces of careful care. It was obvious that the person who lived here was a person who loved life.

Could it be...this is Jiraiya's home?

In essence, he is also a person who loves and loves life?

"Minato, I'm here to eat again!" Jiraiya shouted at the top of his voice.

It turns out that Riraiya's so-called taking Yakumo to dinner was just to have dinner at Namikaze Minato's house, but it seemed to be quite good, and there seemed to be no harm in establishing a good relationship with the future Fourth Hokage in advance.

"The old pervert is here again..." The red-haired Uzumaki Kushina opened the door with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Kushina, don't talk like that, teacher." Namikaze Minato quickly blamed, but the doting in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Hey, teacher, who is this...?"

"Tsunade's apprentice, I will help teach him for a while." Jiraiya replied with a smile.

"Kushina is getting more and more beautiful."

"Hello Minato-sama, my name is Ii Yakumo." Yakumo stepped forward and stood next to Jiraiya and introduced himself.

"It's you, that funny kid, I didn't expect to meet you again..." Uzumaki Kushina teased with a smile.

"This is my sister's boyfriend, so I can't agree to your pursuit."

"Nonsense! Nonsense, when did I ever pursue you!"

Yakumo directly denied it loudly. You can't talk nonsense about this thing. If you can't explain it clearly, it will be over.

"Hahaha, you're just kidding, Minato looks so cute when you look at him seriously." Uzumaki Kushina laughed without any image.

"Okay, Kushina, please stop teasing him." Minato Namikaze took a few steps forward and said.

"Since I am Tsunade-sama's apprentice, just call me Minato. Calling me Minato-sama is too foreign."

"Let's go, let's go in and eat." Jiraiya looked impatient. Although Uzumaki Kushina had a bad temper, she couldn't be picky about the food she cooked...

"I really don't understand why every time the old pervert arrives on time just after cooking..." Uzumaki Kushina complained.

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato smiled and said nothing.

Jiraiya pretended not to hear...

Yakumo was thoughtful, thinking about Jiraiya running wildly with obvious goals on the road, and Namikaze Minato who was smiling very guilty.

Is it possible that there is a mole...?

At the dinner table, Jiraiya dealt with the deliciously colored and fragrant meals without any image, while Uzumaki Kushina quickly picked up the dishes for Namikaze Minato, and the two of them formed a vaguely evenly matched posture.

"By the way, what ninjutsu is Yakumo learning from the teacher? Is there anything I can do to help?" Minato Namikaze put down his bowls and chopsticks and asked with some concern.

"Ninjutsu: Jizo Needle." Jiraiya answered vaguely while continuing to eat the food.

"Yakumo, if you were forced, just blink." Uzumaki Kushina said with a chuckle.

"What's wrong with the Ksitigarbha needle? It has both attack and defense, it can get close and retreat, it's perfect!" Jiraiya put down his bowl and chopsticks and muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Perfect...hhhh...so funny." Uzumaki Kushina pretended to laugh.

"Yakumo...that Jizo needle...is a big hole. Let Minato teach you some useful ninjutsu after dinner."

"I think...Jiraiya-sama is right, the Ksitigarbha needle has both offensive and defensive capabilities, it can advance and retreat, it's perfect."

"Although I also want to learn ninjutsu from Minato-nii, but I will report to Konoha Hospital later to learn medical ninjutsu... I may not have enough time."

Yakumo wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and said in an extremely serious tone.

He felt comfortable eating this meal, and Uzumaki Kushina's cooking skills were as perfect as Jiraiya said.

"Yakumo, you are a true warrior."

Namikaze Minato said in a tone of great admiration.

"Haha, it's actually nothing. The main reason is that my talent for Ninjutsu is poor. Lord Jiraiya doesn't dislike my clumsiness in learning, so I'm extremely happy."

"As long as you work hard... you will definitely succeed." Namikaze Minato showed a sunny smile and presented Yakumo with a large bowl of freshly baked chicken soup.

"It doesn't matter whether I succeed or not. I just hope that I can use what I have learned in my life to help every patient get rid of the torture of injuries as much as possible." Yakumo's voice was very calm, but the meaning he revealed made everyone sitting here.

Moving.

This is the thought that only true doctors have. They are not seeking fame or fortune, but simply embarking on this bumpy and unusual road to help others.

"Yakumo, well done!" Uzumaki Kushina praised.

"This is what I should do..." Yakumo looked extremely humble but his eyes were so firm.

"Let's go, go to the training ground and I will teach you for another half an hour, and then go to Konoha Hospital. Don't listen to what they say... After learning the Jizo Needle, the defense will be... really strong!"

The backyard of Minato Namikaze's house is a very clean training ground, and the round targets on the wall are full of marks. It is obvious that Minato Namikaze has the strength he has today after countless days and nights of hard work.

"In addition to the chakras of various attributes that appear on the outside, every ninja also has the yang escape chakra that represents vitality and the yin escape chakra that represents the spirit. However, these two chakras are deeply hidden, and Ninja Jizo

Needle is actually a ninjutsu produced by the change in the nature of Yang Chakra. The first step in practicing this technique is to sense the Yang Chakra in the body..."

In this half hour, Jiraiya spoke more seriously, and even revealed a lot of knowledge about the changes in the nature of chakra that only jounin could master, so that Yakumo would not be so confused about the future path.
