Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

Jiraiya mentioned the name of Napaki, causing a ripple in Orochimaru's calm mood.

As his first and most beloved disciple, Orochimaru has always had a place for Nawaki in his heart.

Jiraiya did not notice the change in Orochimaru and continued, "Your level of teaching your disciples is still so high. I have heard about the battle between Chiba and the leader of Yugakure Village, Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

It's really amazing. He is 12 or 13 years old this year, and should be the same age as Minato. I didn't expect that he could fight an elite jonin to that extent, and even seriously injured Kuroiwa Tatsuji, while he was only slightly injured. It really surprised me."

Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Chiba has a high talent. Compared with the usual training, this kind of battle can better stimulate his potential."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "But my disciple is not bad either, Orochimaru. Let's make a bet to see who between Chiba and Minato improves faster and becomes stronger in this war."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and said, "There's nothing to bet on. Your disciple seems to me to have good talent, that's all."

Jiraiya was not convinced and said: "Orochimaru, I am not convinced. Minato's talent is very strong, no worse than your disciple. Since you said so, then this bet is established!"

Orochimaru crossed his arms over his chest and looked directly at Jiraiya: "So what's your bet?"

Jiraiya smiled and said, "I'm currently working on my book. When it's finished, how about I show it to you first?"

"Hmph, boring."

Orochimaru walked straight to the entrance of the tent, intending to leave.

Jiraiya hurriedly called out, "Orochimaru, where's your bet?"

Orochimaru left after saying "I will not lose".

Jiraiya stood up from his seat, muttered something like 'tsundere', and left the tent as well.

Even Jiraiya felt exhausted from this battle.

What's more, I will be even busier in the future and won't have much time to rest.

When Jiraiya returned to the entrance of his tent, he found that Minato Namikaze was not in the tent next door.

Jiraiya sighed and said, "It seems that my disciple is confused again and really needs the guidance of my master."

Jiraiya found Minato Namikaze sitting in a daze on a hilltop.

"Why, do you doubt yourself because Qianyu is too outstanding?"

Jiraiya sat next to Minato Namikaze.

Namikaze Minato replied with a heavy face: "Master, I do have some doubts. Sometimes I doubt whether my decisions are right or wrong."

Jiraiya inquired, "Oh? Why do you think so?"

Namikaze Minato lowered his head and replied, "Chiyu is really rational, so rational that it is terrifying. He can detonate an explosive tag on a companion who has lost his ability to fight without hesitation, so that he and the Cloud Ninja will die together, thus realizing the maximization of his interests.

But I think what he did was wrong. He shouldn't have used the lives of his comrades who fought alongside him as a tool.

But when I questioned him, his answer was so irrefutable that I couldn’t even refute it, and even made me feel that he was right and I was wrong.”

Jiraiya's brows furrowed.

I didn't expect Qianyu to have done such a thing during the war in Yuyin Village.

But then Jiraiya figured it out.

He is Orochimaru's disciple.

normal.

If it were Orochimaru, he would definitely do the same.

Just as Jiraiya was about to enlighten Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze continued: "I saw the whole battle between Chiba and the leader of the soup ninja, and I admit that I am completely inferior to Chiba.

I thought I would catch up with him in the past few years, but I didn't. The gap between him and me has become bigger and bigger. He is the real genius, and I... am not a genius at all.

What made me feel most guilty was that when Chiyu was in danger, I stopped. In my mind, I remembered the scene where Chiyu gave the detonating tag to Daigo and asked Daigo to die together with the Cloud Ninja. At that time, I had the idea of ​​not wanting to save Chiyu.

I wanted to do my best to help my companions, but I went against my own heart."

Jiraiya sighed, "It seems that Chiba's arrival has a great impact on you, Minato, you are also a human being. You have people you like, and naturally you must have people you hate. You and Chiba are like two extremes, and it is normal for you to hate each other.

So this is not your fault. Everyone has selfish desires, and I am no exception. There is no need to worry about it.

Qianyu’s behavior cannot be said to be right or wrong, after all, it was on the battlefield.

But your desire to help your fellow man must be right, so don't doubt your desire to help your fellow man.

The child Chiba is indeed a genius, and he has been taught very well by Orochimaru. But Minato, you cannot doubt yourself. Once you doubt yourself, you will forever lose the opportunity to become stronger.

If you don’t even believe in yourself, how can you become stronger and catch up with Qianyu?

Minato, let me ask you a question, do you think I am a genius?"

Namikaze Minato glanced at Jiraiya beside him and replied: "Teacher Jiraiya, you are naturally a genius. You are the disciple of the Hokage, and you are also one of the three ninjas."

Jiraiya smiled and shook his head, "I'm not a genius. I was always at the bottom of the class."

Namikaze Minato was surprised and asked: "How is this possible?"

Jiraiya said: "I'm not lying to you, this is the truth. In the past, I was always chasing after Orochimaru. Orochimaru is a recognized genius, but I just don't accept it. I think I'm actually no worse than Orochimaru.

With this belief, I followed in Orochimaru's footsteps, becoming stronger and stronger in the process, until I reached my current strength.

So, what does it matter if you are a genius or not? As long as you believe that you are no weaker than anyone else, you will become strong through your own efforts. "

Namikaze Minato let out a long breath, and the gloom in his eyes was no longer there: "I understand, Teacher Jiraiya, I will definitely work hard!"

Jiraiya smiled and patted Minato Namikaze's head: "You are such a worrying disciple. I made a bet with Orochimaru that you will become stronger than Chiba in this war."

Namikaze Minato was surprised: "Ah? This..."

Jiraiya asked back, "Why? You don't have confidence in yourself?"

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath and said loudly: "Have faith!"

Jiraiya stood up from the ground and said to Minato Namikaze, "Go back and rest early. We will be even busier next time. By the way, I have good news for you. We need to ask Konoha for support. I will explain to the old man and ask the ninja to bring the training method of Flying Thunder God Technique here."

After Jiraiya left, Namikaze Minato secretly made a decision in his heart that he must practice harder...harder.

He must not let Jiraiya down!
