Chapter 28 Beauty? Which man is not sincere! The land of grass. Konoha Ninja Station. "Haha, Minato, it seems that you have also experienced the battlefield and realized the difference between the ninja war and ordinary missions." On a big rock, Jiraiya was holding a book called "The Legend of Genshin Ninja" and looking at Minato in a funny way, laughing and teasing: "Come on, Shuimen, this is the latest edition of this immortal's work." Facing this unreliable team leader, Minato Namikaze gave a bitter smile, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his usually confident and sunny smile. "Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei." After seeing Minato Namikaze accept his book, Jiraiya showed a rare solemn expression, and said leisurely and earnestly: "This book is for you to adjust your mindset. After all, you are with this group of ninjas from wealthy families or bloodline families this time. You should feel the pressure." Jiraiya's meaningful look made Minato Namikaze stunned for a moment, and the next moment he smiled bitterly, nodded with a lonely look in his eyes. After all, he is not the future Fourth Hokage, and the mentality of a ninja has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.
"Teacher Jiraiya, I used to think that I could catch up with everyone as long as I worked hard, but this battle showed me something different. Nara, Akimichi…they all have powerful secret techniques of their own families, not to mention the bloodline families of Hyuga and Uchiha, and even Aburame and Inuzuka…” On the way here this time, Jiraiya and Tsunade's training of them was indeed effective, allowing them to grow quickly and become familiar with ninja wars. But at the same time, among so many people, only Minato Namikaze was born into a commoner family, which led him to find that there seemed to be a deep gap between his efforts and his talent and background. Seeing Minato Namikaze's self-doubt, Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh. "Minato, you are right. Compared with these powerful ninjas who have bloodline and secret techniques, this is your shortcoming, but it does not mean that you cannot catch up. When Orochimaru and I faced Tsunade..." When talking about his past, Jiraiya couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic look, then he smiled and shook his head, a rare confident smile appearing on his face. "But what about now? The gap between Orochimaru and I and Tsunade is getting smaller and smaller. We even have our own strengths. Orochimaru and I don't have bloodline and secret techniques!" With Jiraiya's guidance, Minato Namikaze quickly adjusted his mentality and a sunny smile appeared on his face. "Teacher Jiraiya, I understand." Under the sunny smile, there was a look of determination in Minato Namikaze's eyes. However, this time, he was facing either blood inheritance or secret techniques, which made him feel a little at a loss. Even without Jiraiya, he would be able to adjust after a few days. Looking at the determined look of Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya suddenly laughed funny. "Haha, Minato, I believe in you. Your talent is that of a true genius." "By the way, Jiraiya-sensei." Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, looked at Jiraiya and said in a deep voice: "Before I came here, the Third Hokage summoned me and told me a lot of things, including some secrets of the village..." As Minato Namikaze spoke these things, Jiraiya's clear eyes gradually turned solemn under his seemingly uninhibited smile. "The old man really trusts you, even telling you this." Jiraiya is not stupid. The Third Hokage asked Minato to tell him this, obviously because he wanted to use the relationship between him and Tsunade.
After all, in this deformed ninja world, companions (bonds) are of great importance. "So Minato, can you tell me whether you are doing this to Uzumaki Kushina out of interest or mission? Or something else!" Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze with a serious expression. He now needed Minato to give him an answer. Faced with this question, Namikaze Minato was stunned, then his eyes showed hesitation, and finally lowered his head and said awkwardly: "Teacher Jiraiya, when Uzumaki Kushina first came to the Ninja School, she was very beautiful, but her personality and the classmates in the class, I..." It is obvious that in that situation, Minato Namikaze, who came from a commoner family, chose to integrate into the group of onlookers. Facing the ostracized Kushina Uzumaki, he suppressed his love for her deep in his heart. "Later, Kushina grew more and more beautiful... I! This time, I am doing the mission for the Third Hokage out of my heart, not for profit or mission!" With a determined look, Minato Namikaze told all the secrets hidden in his heart. After all, in the original work, although Minato paid attention to Kushina, he did not become friends with Kushina after so many years in the ninja school. From this point, it can be seen that Minato's heart was like a naive secret crush. After hearing this, Jiraiya's solemn expression suddenly turned into laughter, and he even made funny faces. "Hey, teacher, let me tell you, men look for women based on beauty. If you can face your inner self, you are already very strong." When faced with beauty, which man is not sincere? "Minato, don't worry, as long as you are serious and responsible, just do it and don't worry about anything else." Jiraiya patted his chest and made assurance. He was not stupid, so he naturally understood what the Third Hokage meant. The events surrounding White Fang, the Hokage, and the Senju had already caused problems for the Senju and the current Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage obviously wanted to send a signal of goodwill. You, the Senju clan, can decide about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but you can't stop the Minato I arranged, right? This is like a political blind date and marriage. It was just right for Jiraiya to go find Tsunade about this matter. It must be said that the Third Hokage's plan in this matter was invincible from the beginning. If the blind date was successful, he would kidnap the Jinchūriki. If it failed? The fact that Kushina has no sense of belonging to the village alone is enough to deny her the ability to become a Jinchūriki. Regardless of victory or defeat, the final right of interpretation lies with him. After Minato Namikaze respectfully left, Jiraiya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the tree trunk beside him, he couldn't help but teasingly said: "How about it, my disciple is not bad, right?" As Jiraiya was talking to himself in front of the tree, a cold snort was heard and Tsunade appeared, with Uchiha Ya behind her. "Hey Tsunade, you're not really going to take this brat with you!" Suddenly seeing Tsunade's murderous eyes, Jiraiya hurriedly closed his mouth and secretly curled his lips. With the ninja's observation ability, he and Tsunade are teammates, and he can clearly see the difference between Tsunade and Uchiha Yoru, and even the Third Hokage can see it. Tsunade is looking for some little puppy, it's obvious that she's using Uchiha as a bargaining chip. "Tsunade, I can see clearly what this Minato kid is like." It was obvious that Jiraiya already knew about this when the Sandaime had Minato prepare to contact Kushina. After all, Minato is just a pawn now, and Jiraiya is his third-generation disciple.
Tsunade, who had watched the whole thing from beginning to end, knew very well the signals sent by the Third Hokage. Politics has always been an art of compromise. "What do you think, little devil?" In response to Jiraiya's question, Tsunade did not answer directly, but raised her eyebrows and asked Uchiha Ye. When Uchiha Ye heard this, he was stunned at first, then under the gazes of Tsunade and Jiraiya, he grinned and revealed a sincere smile. "Shameless!" puff! Tsunade burst into laughter instantly, while Jiraiya on the side stared with eyes wide open. "Hey, kid, if my disciple is shameless, then aren't you even more shameless?" Facing Jiraiya's antics, Uchiha Ye shrugged his shoulders and said with a casual look and a smile: "Of course, I am also shameless. Kushina's fiery red hair is very beautiful, 90 points, and the identity and influence of the Jinchūriki account for 10 points. If Kushina's appearance can only account for 10 points, Well, if it was Master Jiraiya who asked me just now, I would say it was for the village." Uchiha Ye said such shameless words with a sense of righteousness, without any shame, but rather openly. That's the way it is. If Minato Namikaze really likes Kushina so much, why didn't he take the initiative when he was in school? This is not just a day or two, but several years. He also has a clear understanding of himself. Human nature is to seek benefits, and beauty is also a benefit. By saying this, he was saying that in his eyes, Kushina's beauty accounted for 90 points, but he didn't know about Minato's. "You little brat!" Jiraiya was speechless after hearing what Uchiha Ye said, and nodded helplessly. This is what men are really like. Don’t say that the inner beauty is the most beautiful, that’s all bullshit. People always look at appearance at first sight, no matter if it’s a man or a woman. Without your appearance, who the hell can see your inner beauty? Tsunade on the side almost laughed her head off, "Little brat, you are really shameless when you put it that way." "Tsunade, look!" Jiraiya rubbed his hands and put on a funny smile, which made Tsunade snort coldly. Jiraiya immediately understood what was going on. "Haha, Tsunade, I'm going to go check out the camp first." Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed. Since Tsunade didn't object, it meant she acquiesced, so he was naturally happy. It was not only for his disciple Minato, but also for the village. After all, he didn't want to see the gap between Tsunade and her teacher, and between Senju and the village growing bigger and bigger. "Captain Tsunade, I will take my leave now." Uchiha Ye respectfully chose to leave with Jiraiya. Just as the two figures disappeared, Tsunade said calmly towards the woods: "You heard what I just said, didn't you?" Amid the rustling sound of leaves, the red-haired Kushina walked out obediently, with the blush still on her cheeks at that moment. Ahem, it’s the end of the month, please vote for next month. This is also an important data besides following the reading.
