Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

The Eighth Uchiha walked away, as if talking to Jiraiya was a waste of time.

Jiraiya was so angry that he grabbed his hair, as if his hair had a grudge against him.

"This...this bastard! I'm so pissed off!!! I'm going to beat him!"

Tsunade hurriedly comforted Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya! Alright! Even though you're stupid, I believe you're strong enough to defeat that overly arrogant guy!"

Jiraiya was stunned.

Tsunade leaned over slightly, allowing him to discover that the companion he spent every day with actually had such a large size.

But the important thing is, are you comforting people?

Jiraiya became even more furious, but he couldn't refute Tsunade.

He looked left and right.

Orochimaru? No, this taciturn guy wouldn't fall for his tricks at all. If he talked to Orochimaru, he would definitely be blasted to pieces by him. He might be even more infuriating than that Uchiha Eighth.

Ancient Tibetan?

"Mr. Gu Zang!"

Jiraiya felt that Kozo would be easier to talk to.

"Oh."

"Mr. Gu Zang, do you think that guy can beat me!?"

Gu Zang looked at Jiraiya in confusion. Although Gu Zang had no eyes, the gestures of his body allowed the three of them to clearly feel his doubts.

"He's an Uchiha, Madara Uchiha's Uchiha."

"What...what do you mean?"

Jiraiya paused for a moment, his wooden head unable to react for a moment.

"He's right. You're a commoner ninja, and he's a ninja from a big family."

Jiraiya was stunned.

Mr. Gu Zang is of such a high generation, is he also a power-hungry person?

"When you were two years old and crawling on the ground, others had already started running."

"When you were three years old and stealing popsicles on the street, others were already practicing climbing trees."

"When you first peeped into the bathhouse at the age of five, people were already able to throw shurikens expertly."

"By the time you graduated from Ninja School at the age of seven, they would have already opened their eyes and could breathe fire."

"Now, you are ten years old, Jiraiya. You have mastered quite a few jutsu and can be considered a fairly well-rounded genin, but he is an Uchiha."

"Do you understand, Jiraiya?"

Gu Zang's tone was very calm, as if he was describing something very normal.

Jiraiya was silent, Orochimaru was staring at Jiraiya's reaction from behind, and Tsunade was visibly panicked.

What on earth is Mr. Kozo talking about?! Although it's all very realistic, that's Jiraiya, a companion! Isn't it too much to attack Jiraiya like this?!

"But, Mr. Gu Zang, you said I am a genius."

Jiraiya's emotions were suppressed tightly, and his voice was a little low.

"Hiruzen-sensei also said that I will become a ninja who is on par with or even surpasses him."

Jiraiya raised his head and looked at Gu Zang on Tsunade's shoulder. He tried hard to open his eyes and stared at Gu Zang's unmoved insect body.

"Tsunade said that I'm clearly very talented."

"Orochimaru..."

Jiraiya paused and turned to look at Orochimaru, because Orochimaru had never praised him.

"Heh...you, be brave and do it, Jiraiya." Orochimaru put his hand on Jiraiya's shoulder.

With the bond complete, Jiraiya seemed to be fully charged. He turned and looked at Gu Zang with determination and persistence.

"My teacher and companions all support and recognize me! Even though he is an Uchiha! But! I am Jiraiya!!!"

Jiraiya tried hard to shout out his own name.

The ninjas who were constantly walking out of the classroom on the playground were not attracted by the dispute between Jiraiya and Uchiha Yashiro at first, but after Jiraiya's high-spirited speech, many of their eyes were attracted.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was waiting outside the school, heard it, but he didn't come over immediately.

"Hahahahaha!"

Gu Zang laughed out loud.

There are generally only two situations for people who are oppressed. One is to leave in disgrace.

The other is to be tough enough, endure silently, and then stick to yourself, waiting for the day to make a splash.

Only someone like Jiraiya would declare his will loudly and without hesitation, and stick to his beliefs until the very last moment.

Only someone like Jiraiya is worthy of the saying, "A wandering dragon should return to the sea, but the sea will not welcome me, Jiraiya. A fierce tiger should return to the mountain, but the mountain will not welcome me, the great hero!"

"So, Jiraiya, what did you ask me?"

What was it? Jiraiya was confused. What did he ask just now?

"Defeat the Uchiha Yashiro and prove to yourself and to the Uchiha who is the frog in the well."

"Yes! Mr. Gu Zang!"

Gu Zang scratched his head as he listened.

If Jiraiya hadn't taken up most of the spotlight, Gu Zang would have wanted to hide in Tsunade's clothes. More and more ninjas gathered around the playground to watch the fun, which was a bit embarrassing. Gu Zang urged the three of them to leave quickly.

Jiraiya came to his senses and began to feel complacent again. Tsunade and Orochimaru fully understood Kozo's embarrassment and quickly pulled Jiraiya out of the school gate.

Hiruzen came forward with a smile and stroked Jiraiya's spiky head.

Although only two years had passed, Jiraiya's height was almost catching up with Hiruzen.

"Nice spirit, Jiraiya. A ninja should have this kind of spirit of striving forward~"

"Huruzen-sensei!"

Jiraiya and Hiruzen have a certain sympathy for each other. The two, especially the young Hiruzen, are really alike in every way.

"Of course I believe in you, you will definitely defeat him and become a Chunin!"

Hiruzen didn't notice who the Uchiha was, but no matter who it was, how could he be more important than his good disciple?

"Of course, Tsunade, Orochimaru, the same goes for you. The teacher has full confidence in you!"

"Don't worry, Hiruzen-sensei!"

This was Tsunade's response. Orochimaru said nothing, but nodded deeply to Hiruzen to show his respect.

Hiruzen was already well aware of Orochimaru's mood swings and there was nothing to find fault with.

Following Jiraiya's high morale, Hiruzen suggested taking the three of them to eat barbecue, and Jiraiya immediately became as happy as a monkey.

Although he received a lot of bonuses for completing missions after becoming a ninja, the mission bonuses for a Genin were barely enough to sustain life. Jiraiya himself would hardly be willing to eat food like barbecue.

Especially the barbecue at Qiu Dao’s house.

"Hey, Hiruzen."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is very familiar with the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant. After the relationship with Akimichi Tofu, the Akimichi family has long become a die-hard Hokage faction, and the relationship with the Sarutobi family is growing.

The owner of the barbecue restaurant was related to Akimichi Tofu, so it was natural for him to be familiar with Hiruzen.

"Boss Qiu Dao, five servings of barbecue, please order the large ones~"

Hiruzen greeted the barbecue restaurant owner with a smile, and pulled Jiraiya and the other two to sit down.

He ordered five servings of barbecue because Hiruzen did not forget about Kozō on Tsunade's shoulder, and this barbecue was actually meant to be an invitation to Kozō.

After all, Jiraiya was his disciple, and Kozō took good care of him, so Hiruzen should treat him.

And coming to Qiu Daojia's BBQ restaurant...it's cheaper since we know each other~
