Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

"Hey, hey, hey, hey."

A man with long white hair like a hedgehog squatted in the forest. In the creek in the distance, several girls in swimsuits were playing happily in the water.

How pitiful it is that at this time, there is no one in the bathhouse!

But fortunately, Jiraiya grew up in Konoha and was very familiar with where ordinary people play and swim. He just wandered around and found his target. As for accepting disciples...

To be honest, Jiraiya had no idea.

Now he just wants to bring back Orochimaru, who betrayed the village, and find his destiny's son.

Thinking of the Child of Destiny, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh. He met Toad Sage some time ago and heard some vague and somewhat disturbing prophecies.

The child of destiny still exists, but the end point to which destiny points has become unclear.

what does this mean?

Does this mean your prediction was wrong?

Or is there something wrong with the so-called Child of Destiny?

Jiraiya couldn't figure it out, but he became even more irritable. The vague prophecy of Toad Sage made him uneasy, so he thought about returning to Konoha to take a look, but he failed and was captured by the third generation.

When Sandai spoke to him, there was a lot of pleading in his words. Considering the current situation in Konoha, even if he was reluctant, he had to see it for himself. If Konoha's problem was not serious...it would be better to leave Konoha. Ye, let's wander into the ninja world.

Tsunade also left, Minato died, and Orochimaru defected. Today's Konoha has become both familiar and strange.

Only this river, where beautiful girls play in the water all year round, still carries his youth and passion.

Hey, barely, it’s a worthwhile trip.

"Is this fun?"

"very funny......"

Jiraiya instinctively responded to the voice next to him, then turned around and saw a pair of white eyes full of smiles.

What a great speed.

Jiraiya was secretly shocked, as if the other person was still dozens of meters away in his perception just now, and the next moment he was right next to him.

Can the teleportation technique be done so quickly?

No, this should be the first time I saw it, a very brilliant advanced body-blinking technique.

Such speed...

Jiraiya's heart became more solemn, but he still had an uninhibited and wanton smile on his face. He raised his finger obscenely: "Keep your voice down...Look, is that guy over there... "

Hyuga Yuzuru squatted on the ground with him without formality, looking like two stinky hooligans. He pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The figure is average, the appearance is ordinary, and the skin is quite white."

Involuntarily, he compared himself with the girls around him.

Even now, Xun's figure has gradually become more and more concave and convex. Compared with the teenage girl in the river, she is not trying to give in. What's more, Xun's proportions are better, especially her legs are long, slender without losing flesh. Degree, uniformity...

What am I thinking?

Jiraiya replied in a low voice: "Young man, I'm talking about another one... look!"

After he finished speaking, one of the girls who were playing in the water jumped out of the water, with long hair floating on the water.

The focus is on a floating word.

"Sorry, I'm a face-controller." Hinata Yuzuru still looked calm.

But Jiraiya showed a disdainful smile because of this, and roared with a strange smile: "You are indeed a child. I think you don't understand at all."

"Yeah." Hinata Yuzuru smiled noncommittally. When it comes to looking at girls, there is no one who has more experience than him in the world of Naruto.

Before traveling through time, I estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of female Bodhisattvas whom I had seen online. To be honest, for ordinary girls, he really couldn’t get excited.

As if he could tell that Hinata Yuzuru's eyes were not low, Jiraiya looked at him in surprise. He always felt that this boy seemed to be inconsistent with his rough understanding of his age - at her age, let alone seeing a woman. The child wears a swimsuit and plays in the water, that is...

"Ahem, don't get me wrong, I'm collecting information." Jiraiya became serious.

Hyuga Yuzuru said quietly: "Ah, I just don't know if those sisters are willing to devote themselves to art..."

After the words fell, Jiraiya turned around and saw one of the girls in the river pointing to the grass where he was hiding. He didn't know what he was talking about. When he turned his head again, Hinata Yuzuru's figure had disappeared.

"Who is there?"

"Yeah! There's a pervert!"

"There is a pervert!!!"

How was I exposed?

Jiraiya didn't know, but there was no doubt that all he could do at the moment was...

slip away.

The two had a tacit understanding and met unexpectedly outside the woods.

"Jiraiya-sama, this is the first time we meet. I am Hinata Yuzuru."

Jiraiya formally looked at the guy in front of him.

Wearing glasses - points deducted. There is no one in the Hyuga clan who wears glasses. They don't look straightforward enough and are not to my liking.

He's very handsome - points deducted. He's so good-looking at such a young age. It's not bad when he grows up. Not to mention, this guy has such a gentle smile...deducted points!

Very strong - points deducted, you are so strong, what else can I teach you?

His talent is unquestionable.

Well, I, Jiraiya, no longer want to teach any geniuses, so, points are deducted.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to look at girls, lacks aesthetics, and is not the same person as him.

Well, sure enough, it's still inappropriate.

Looking for some random reasons, he roughly deducted Hinata Yuzuru's score in his mind. Jiraiya sighed: "I'm Jiraiya... The old man asked me to take care of you for a while, but to be honest, I think It seems like there’s nothing that can take care of you.”

Hinata Yuzuru heard the resistance in his words.

After thinking about it, he figured out the key, and he also became aware of the third generation's thoughts - it seemed that letting Jiraiya teach him was not just for himself.

Do you still want to tie Jiraiya to Konoha?

What even the third generation himself can't do...do you think too highly of me?

He made a decision in his heart. Jiraiya in Konoha would not be of any benefit to him at the moment. In this case, it would be better to just follow his wishes and form a good relationship first.

Hyuga Yuzuru smiled slightly: "Jiraiya-sama, I know, after all, I am a ninja from the Hyuga branch..."

There was a hint of bitterness in his smile. Jiraiya pursed his lips and suddenly felt a little guilty. He laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of his head: "Hey, it's not what you thought."

Jiraiya awkwardly thought about how to make up for the other party, and finally clapped his hands: "Anyway, no matter what, let me treat you to a meal first. I haven't been back to Konoha for a long time, and I don't know if there are any new shops."

"There are two yakiniku restaurants that are pretty good, and Ichiraku Ramen has also launched a new beef bone soup base." Hinata Yuzuru gave some suggestions, and Jiraiya made a decision.

He stretched out and put a carefree hand on Hinata Yuzuru's shoulder: "Okay, then I'll treat you to ramen."

It stands to reason that as a Sannin, he cannot be short of money, but... in fact, he is really short of money. Collecting materials for art is really expensive, and he usually can't save much money.

This kid has a strong body at first glance. Jiraiya, a taijutsu type ninja, has a good appetite. When eating barbecue, you have to eat a meal that is customary, ahem, and art appreciation.

"Okay." Hinata Yuzuru looked so docile and well-behaved that Jiraiya couldn't find fault. He secretly had a headache, but he didn't know how to make him understand that he just really didn't want to accept a disciple. That’s all.

Jiraiya knew what the third generation was thinking. It was precisely because he knew it that he was even more unwilling to accept Hinata Yuzuru. After years of accumulation, he still had some resentment towards the third generation in his heart and had nowhere to vent it. How could he be willing to replace him? What does he do?

Smelly old man, would you mind being less calculating?

Jiraiya sighed inwardly, but when he saw the handsome and well-behaved Hinata Yuzuru, who was walking away with him in his arms, he couldn't bear it. It was not a man's behavior to entangle this child between himself and the third generation.

In my mind, I was thinking - how about teaching some casual lessons?

Let’s see how this child is doing?

Just because you have some conflicts with the third generation, you can't let this innocent child waste your time with you, right?

Hinata Yuzuru could clearly see the way Jiraiya was thinking about something secretly.

He raised his eyebrows and continued to follow him obediently. An idea popped into his mind.

If nothing else...

We don’t expect to be your apprentice either.

Just pick up a psychic scroll, okay?

There is no other meaning, I am just curious about how difficult the immortal mode is.

Hinata Yuzuru was thoughtful, but quickly calmed down.

Sage mode, toad channeling, and even Rasengan, it is estimated that only one of his disciples can learn things. There is no need for him to be so greedy, just count the handfuls of wool he can get.

Jiraiya and Hinata Yuzuru had a meal of ramen, and then they found an excuse to run away. Probably because they didn't know how to teach this talented boy, they went back to think hard, and made an appointment with Hinata Yuzuru tomorrow morning.

After Hyuga Yuzuru returned home, he was basically in a state of semi-confinement, staying at home quietly, until late at night, Hyuga Hizashi appeared in his room.

The incident occurred a few months later.

But the plan must be advanced step by step from now on.

The two discussed it not long before they separated, but things were gradually arranged.

The bright moon was shrouded in dark clouds, and sparse light fell, scattered on the land of the Hyuga family, like a huge spider web, covering up the turbulent undercurrents within.
