Breathing in the fresh air outside, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

Although he was imprisoned by the Uchiha clan for a month, he is not angry now because he has learned the identity of the Child of Prophecy.

Now it's time to get down to business and fulfill my mission.

Chapter 242 Naruto Becomes an Apprentice

Because the prison was right next to the Uchiha clan's territory, Jiraiya arrived at the gate of the Uchiha clan's territory in no time.

Instead of barging in, they politely informed the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper of the Uchiha clan answered.

"You wait here, I'll go report it."

Soon Ryosuke arrived at the gate of the clan's territory and looked at Jiraiya.

He had a full beard and looked a bit unkempt, but he asked with a smile.

"Jiraiya, long time no see. How was life in prison?"

Jiraiya ignored the mockery and said coldly.

"I've served my time in prison, shouldn't you tell me who the prophesied child is?"

"Of course, come with me."

After finishing his sentence, Ryosuke walked directly into the clan's territory.

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that the Child of Prophecy is actually a member of the Uchiha clan?

This is simply unbelievable.

In Fugaku Uchiha's courtyard, Naruto and Sasuke were doing their morning exercises, exchanging simple taijutsu techniques.

They are currently in the foundational stage, constantly honing their chakra refining techniques while also maintaining their physical training.

This is the advantage of a large clan.

From the very beginning, they were already ahead of children from ordinary families.

The two stopped training when they saw Ryosuke walking towards them and happily went over.

"Ryosuke-nii".

When Jiraiya saw the two little ones, he immediately frowned.

Is the Child of Prophecy really this young?

How can someone like that become the leader of a revolution in the ninja world?

Did I arrive at the wrong time?

One of the boys with needle-like hair was clearly from the Uchiha clan, but I didn't believe that someone from that clan would become the Child of Prophecy.

The other one had golden hair that looked somewhat familiar; such hair was not common in Konoha Village.

They are probably not members of the Uchiha clan.

Could he be the so-called child of prophecy?

Naruto also noticed this strange person, a guy with thick hair, a slovenly appearance, and a somewhat lewd look, who was scrutinizing him.

"Ryosuke-kun, who is this strange old man?"

Ryosuke said with a smile.

"This is Jiraiya."

"He's here to recruit you as his disciple."

Naruto was a little surprised, and a little disgusted.

He had heard of Jiraiya before; he was the voyeur who had been the talk of the village recently.

"I don't want to become a disciple of a voyeur."

Jiraiya was a little annoyed; even such a young child knew that he had been spying.

Judging from appearances, this person is the prophetic child whom I intend to take as my disciple.

He had to salvage his image, so he coughed, tidied his hair, struck a strange pose, and shouted.

"I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, a sage."

After activating Sage Mode, I did indeed possess the abilities of a Sage.

Naruto finally became interested when he heard this. He thought that a sage must be very powerful, and maybe he could teach him some amazing ninjutsu, but he was still conflicted.

"Ryosuke-nii, should I become this person's apprentice?"

Jiraiya was a little unhappy that someone would ask a member of the Uchiha clan to become his teacher.

Ryosuke, however, said with a smile.

"Actually, Jiraiya is quite capable; he was also your father's teacher."

Fugaku was the one who taught Naruto before, and it seems there are no problems so far.

However, when they grow up and start learning ninjutsu to improve their strength, big problems arise.

Naruto doesn't have Fire Release chakra or Sharingan, so he's not suited to follow the path of the Uchiha clan.

Because most of the Uchiha clan's strength comes from these eyes.

And naturally, he hoped that Naruto could become stronger.

In the original storyline, Naruto also became Jiraiya's apprentice and became much stronger under Jiraiya's careful guidance.

Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard that.

His own father's teacher.

To be able to train one's father to become Hokage and a hero of the village, one must be an incredibly powerful person.

Although he has the flaw of being a spy, it's not something that can't be considered.

"Can he teach me to become someone like the Hokage?"

Naturally, they were equally surprised. They hadn't even asked the guy's name before, but they never expected that his father was Minato. And wasn't that blond hair Minato's trademark?

I originally planned to visit Shuimen's children when I returned to the village, and it seems we really are destined to meet.

Then I must accept him as my disciple.

"Once you become my disciple, I will teach you and give you the qualities to become Hokage."

As a reformer of the ninja world, strong combat power is essential.

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto was somewhat tempted by his certainty.

"Okay, I'm willing to take you as my teacher."

Jiraiya was overjoyed to hear this.

"Then you will be my disciple from now on, Uchiha Ryosuke. May I take him to train now?"

Ryosuke replied.

"It's possible, but Naruto is still young and it's the time for him to build a foundation."

Jiraiya was so happy that he forgot that the Child of Prophecy is still quite young.

They're too young to be taught much, and for a first apprenticeship, they should be taught something fun.

Should I teach the other person Rasengan or Summoning Jutsu?

After careful consideration, it seems neither of these two options is quite suitable.

I suddenly felt a little frustrated. It seemed like there was nothing I could teach him. He was still too young, so I could only say...

“Naruto, you’re still too young. I’ll teach you when you’re older, at least after you graduate from the Ninja Academy. Then I’ll pass on your father’s signature Rasengan and the Summoning Jutsu, which can summon a giant toad.”

Naruto showed no dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

He also knew that his most important task now was to lay a solid foundation so that he could learn better ninjutsu in the future.

"Okay, Jiraiya-sensei."

Jiraiya was also pleased, it seemed that Naruto was more sensible than he had imagined.

Now that things were done here, he should go and have a good drink; there wasn't any good wine available for him in prison.

Then I'll take a good look at myself; I'm making a fool of myself as a toad sage.

After Jiraiya left, Sasuke felt a little envious of Naruto, who was able to become Jiraiya's teacher.

"Ryosuke-nii, can you be my teacher too?"

Even though Jiraiya was a sage, Ryosuke personally defeated such a sage and imprisoned him, making him even more powerful than a sage.

If I learn from people like that and improve myself, I can leave Naruto far behind.

Ryosuke was in a bit of a dilemma. It wasn't that he didn't want to teach, but rather that he didn't know how.

I can only say.
