Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Although there was not much malice in the way Jiraiya looked at Hatake Akira, Hatake Akira could still feel that Jiraiya had some other thoughts about Hatake Akira.

As for who this idea is about, there is no need to think too much, it is definitely Tsunade.

Although Hatake Akira felt it, Jiraiya did not stay in the ward for long, nor did he make any small moves towards Hatake Akira.

He just whispered "See you tomorrow" to the two brothers and left the ward.

"Father, what did you tell Jiraiya-sama?"

Hatake Akira reacted quickly and immediately guessed the whole story. Hatake Sakumo definitely told Jiraiya something.

"I told you something, just to ask Jiraiya to agree to let Kakashi contract with the Toad Clan of Mt. Myoboku to be a psychic beast."

Hatake Sakumo didn't hide it and said it generously.

"If you speak, father, then it is a certainty that Kakashi contracted with the Toad Clan of Mt. Myoboku to become a psychic beast."

Hatake Akira beamed with joy, temporarily forgetting the way Jiraiya looked at him before, and was sincerely happy for Kakashi.

The same is true for Kakashi. Who can refuse to reach another level in strength?

However, Hatake Sakumo still poured cold water on the two brothers, "Jiraiya did not agree immediately. By tomorrow, there should be a test for Kakashi. If he cannot pass it, Kakashi will not be able to contract." The Toad Clan of Mt. Miaomu.”

"That's it..."

Hatake Akira nodded and understood the meaning of what Jiraiya said before leaving. His feelings were waiting for him here.

…

The words were divided into two parts. After leaving Konoha Hospital, Jiraiya walked directly towards Namikaze Minato's small home.

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, and Minato Namikaze, who was busy in the kitchen, poked his head out and motioned to Uzumaki Kushina, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, to open the door.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

The moment after opening the door, Uzumaki Kushina exclaimed, even Namikaze Minato was stunned as he poked his head around.

Then Namikaze Minato didn't care about the food being cooked in the kitchen, put down the spatula and walked out, bowing in the direction of Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

"I'm hungry. Let's go cook. Let's have a few drinks tonight." Jiraiya walked in with a smile and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed without anyone noticing.

"Just wait a moment, it will be fine soon."

Namikaze Minato returned to the kitchen, and Uzumaki Kushina was not idle either. She took out some fruits, washed them, and placed them on the coffee table in front of Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sensei, please try it."

"Thank you, Kushina." Jiraiya thanked him, picked a grape that was more pleasing to the eye, and threw it into his mouth with the skin on.

"In the past few years when I was away, you and Minato...that doesn't mean anything else, but you...all lived together?"

Jiraiya spoke with a slight ambiguity, but Uzumaki Kushina instantly blushed.

"Jiraiya-sensei, don't talk nonsense, there is nothing between Minato and I..." she explained feebly, but seeing Jiraiya's lewd expression, Uzumaki Kushina's eyes changed.

boom!

A delicate little fist hit Jiraiya on the head.

"Please, put away that strange look in your eyes, Jiraiya-sensei!"

Uzumaki Kushina's fiery temper is comparable to Tsunade's. It can even be said that Uzumaki Kushina is the most difficult woman to get along with in Konoha.

It was just a mere punch to Jiraiya, which was nothing to Uzumaki Kushina, and besides, the cause of this incident was entirely due to Jiraiya.

"Kushina, you need to change your temper. It hurts me so much!"

Jiraiya covered his head with a pained expression, but Uzumaki Kushina knew that Jiraiya was pretending.

"You are the one who should change your temper!" Uzumaki Kushina rolled her eyes, "This kind of thing is not something that elders should gossip about. Even if you can... you shouldn't say it in front of me!"

As she spoke, Uzumaki Kushina's voice became softer, and her fingers kept stirring each other, "Teacher, why don't you ask Minato..."

"Haha, Kushina has changed a lot in the past few years, you can see it."

Jiraiya looked at Uzumaki Kushina's appearance, smiled heartily, and then changed the topic and started talking about some normal household matters.

Only half an hour later, Namikaze Minato, who looked like a good family man, began to serve food to the table. There were plenty of fish and meat dishes.

After placing the hot dishes, Namikaze Minato took out two jars of sake from the kitchen, which Akira Hatake had given to him some time ago.

Fill the wine cup for Jiraiya, then Uzumaki Kushina, and finally Namikaze Minato himself.

"Teacher, you didn't go to see you immediately when you returned to the village. I'll punish myself with a drink first."

Minato Namikaze raised his head and drank, and after filling his empty glass, he asked Jiraiya about his current situation in the past few years, "Teacher, how have you been in the past few years since you left the village?"

"Tsk, Minato, you know, you asked me this question. I have answered it three times since I returned to the village. If you were included, it would be the fourth time."

"Uh... um..." Namikaze Minato scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I don't mean to blame you, I'm just saying it." Jiraiya waved his hand and then brought the topic to Namikaze Minato, "I heard the old man said that you have become the leader of the team, the eighth class?"

"Yes Jiraiya-sensei, it's been almost a year since I became the lead teacher."

"Then your three disciples, especially the two brothers from the Hatake family, what do you think of them?"

"Ming and Kakashi are the best juniors I have ever seen. Even in some aspects, I am far behind them."

"Such a high evaluation again?" Jiraiya's tone was much higher, and he was even more curious about Hatake Akira and Kakashi.

First, Tsunade gave a very high evaluation of a certain aspect of Akira Hatake, then Hiruzen Sarutobi, and finally his disciple Minato Namikaze.

"Where else have you heard comments about Akira and Kakashi, teacher?" Namikaze Minato asked subconsciously.

"No one, just Tsunade and the old man." Jiraiya sighed, "This evaluation almost covers the old, middle and young generations in the village. The two brothers of the Hatake family are amazing!"

"Ara and Kakashi are indeed excellent." Namikaze Minato smiled, with pride on his face. After all, they were his disciples. "They deserve such evaluation."

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow..." Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato, "Minato, when your eighth class gathers tomorrow, is it okay for me to go take a look?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Namikaze Minato looked happy, and then took the opportunity to bring up the matter of Kakashi's psychic beast, "Teacher, there is something I have to tell you."

"you say."

"It's about Kakashi's psychic beast..."

Namikaze Minato broke it open and crushed it into pieces, and told Jiraiya truthfully why Kakashi contracted with the toad clan of Mount Myoboku to be a psychic beast, hoping that Jiraiya would agree.

"Oh...if I had known it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have come back!"

Jiraiya suddenly lost interest and drank the sake in one gulp.

"Teacher, are you angry?" Namikaze Minato's heart sank, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"I'm not that easy to get angry, but do you think I've failed too much?" Jiraiya smiled bitterly, "Just two days after I returned to the village, I was caught in a big net that I couldn't see clearly, and Minato you... He’s grown up too!”

What Jiraiya said was confusing, but Minato Namikaze undoubtedly understood, and a look of guilt suddenly appeared on his face, "Teacher, I..."

"No need to explain, I understand many things." Jiraiya waved his hand, then stood up and prepared to leave, "Thank you for the hospitality, I have an appointment with the old man tonight, so I can only come here..."

Having said that, rejecting Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina's plan to get up and see each other off, Jiraiya quickly left Namikaze Minato's home.

"Minato, be more careful in the future..."

Jiraiya looked back at Namikaze Minato's home, said softly and then turned to look at the direction of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mansion, "I wonder what the old man will say to me tonight?!"
