Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Apprenticeship
"Seriously, Jiraiya-sama, thank you!"

There were sobs in Minato's trembling voice, and what Jiraiya could see from his blue eyes was joy.

At this moment, Namikaze Minato looked like a seven-year-old child.

"Yeah, no matter how strong his heart is, he is still just a child."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly. He learned from Sandai that Minato's parents were killed by bandits during a business trip.

Such a small child has to face his own life alone.

To achieve his level requires not only talent, intelligence and wise mind, but also a strong heart.

This kind of strength is often based on primitive fragility, and only those who have experienced it can understand it.

Immediately, Zilai also smiled at Minato who was weeping with joy, and said, "You don't need to thank you, eat it quickly, the barbecue is more delicious when it is just roasted."

The chopsticks in his hand pointed to the grilled meat on the plate in front of the water gate.

Minato quickly restrained his emotions, he really couldn't bear the momentary outburst just now.

He vaguely remembered this feeling, it was the warmth of being cared by his relatives.

"Jiraiya, why are you being so nice to me?" Minato followed Jiraiya's words, and asked after quickly eating the grilled meat on the plate in front of him.

"It's true that you have too many problems." Ji Lai also waved the chopsticks in his hand, and explained: "Didn't you tell your teacher that everyone in the village exists like a family? If that's the case, you and I are both part of this family, is it good for the family, do you need a reason?"

Minato's eyes flickered, and he was obviously a little stunned by Jiraiya's answer.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. It's such a trouble for me to treat guests. I don't know how much trouble you will make me worry about in the future."

Jiraiya put another piece of freshly grilled meat on Minato's plate, smiled and shook his head.

"In the future?" Minato caught the details of these words, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I know you have a lot of questions, so eat quickly, and I'll explain to you later, it's time to eat." Jiraiya said, then ignored Minato, and started to feast on himself.

Since Jiraiya had already said it and would explain it to him later, it was inconvenient for Minato to ask again, not to mention that deep down in his heart, he liked this atmosphere very much.

A smile could not help but appear on the delicate and gentle face.

Jilai also flicked it out of the corner of his eye, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

About an hour later, after dinner, under the leadership of Jiraiya, the two came to the seventh training ground in Konoha Village.

The seventh training ground is specially constructed for ninjas in the village, and it is only open to ninjas, so freshmen from ninja schools like Minato are usually not eligible to enter.

However, with Jiraiya's leadership, it was not a problem for Minato to obtain permission to enter.

Under the night, there is a breeze and a slight chill. For ninjas, cold resistance is also an essential skill, because the environment when performing tasks is not up to you to choose.

The two stood in the middle of the field, Jiraiya folded his arms and leaned against a wooden post, and Mizumon stood not far in front of him.

"Now, I can tell you why I followed you and what I said at the dinner table just now."

Jiraiya looked down at Minato, looked straight, and said, "Because I want to take you in as an apprentice, so you should know why I did this."

When Minato heard the words, his expression instantly became extremely shocked, and he muttered to himself in disbelief: "Accept me as an apprentice!!?"

"Why, don't you want to?" Zilai also added.

"Absolutely not."

Minato quickly denied it. Leaving aside the identity of Jiraiya's third-generation disciple, he himself is definitely the top powerhouse in the village. Being his disciple is definitely something that many ninjas dream of.

The so-called famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, and becoming Jiraiya's disciple also has the most direct guarantee of becoming a strong person. This is the reason.

It's just that Minato knows that a person like Jiraiya will never easily accept anyone as an apprentice, let alone propose it on his own initiative like now.

Even for this reason, he followed him, probably to observe him in advance.

But, there must be some reason.

"Hehe, you probably don't understand why I suddenly proposed to accept you as my apprentice. In fact, it was the third hokage who asked me to let you be my apprentice."

Jiraiya also smiled, he believed that if he used Namikaze Minato's thoughts, he might be able to guess some of the clues.

Minato suddenly remembered that not long ago, on Kushina's first day of school, he had thrown off several Anbes who belonged directly to Hokage.

And everything that happens during Anbu's mission will be reported to Hokage.
Regarding Anbe's information, Minato shouldn't know such details, but he doesn't know why, and he always feels that this kind of thing is all too familiar.

It's like...he used to be Hokage.

Regarding these, Minato has not noticed yet.

"From the moment you defeated Akasaka Yu, to what you said to Shirotamoto, and you dumped Anbu who directly belonged to the third generation, all of this was enough to make him interested in you, and even...he felt that you had inherited the first generation of Hokage. The will of fire, so he wants to train you to become a talent, and I am the one who trains you."

It never occurred to Minato that something he didn't think would have attracted the attention of the third Hokage-sama long ago.

"So, Jiraiya-sama cares about me so much because of the orders of the Third Hokage?"

There was a trace of sadness in Minato's expression, but he didn't find it difficult.

He should even be thankful that he has such an opportunity. After all, to realize that dream, he can only do it by himself.

Too hard!

Ji Lai also heard the words, and said: "It was indeed like this at the beginning. After all, I have to accept a kid I have never heard of as a disciple. I have some resistance in my heart. It was not until after observing you for a while that I realized that Whether it's your talent or style, it's all in line with my style."

Minato didn't know what Jiraiya was referring to, in his opinion, they were all trivial things.

However, for an excellent ninja, talent is of course important, but if a person's mind is not right, no matter how powerful he is, it is just a disaster.

At such a young age, Minato knows how to take into account the feelings of those around him, and this is more precious than anything else.

Jilai also looked at the somewhat short and thin figure in front of him, and asked slowly.

"So, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

There should be another update, but I have a slight cold today, so I took medicine and slept for a while, the update may be in the early morning, sorry.
