Chapter 43 Leading the Jonin and Teacher

If Jiraiya said "I want to accept them both as disciples", it means that he has not made up his mind to accept them as disciples yet, but Jiraiya "want to accept them both as disciples", which means

, he couldn't accept a disciple.

At least there was no way to accept both of them as disciples, but Jiraiya wanted to accept both of them as disciples in his heart. This meant that there was a reason why Jiraiya couldn't do it.

According to Tatsuma's understanding, Minato would become a disciple of Jiraiya, but Tatsuma himself was an "accident". If there was only one genius, then it was normal for Sarutobi Hiruzen to be assigned to Jiraiya who was more willing to accept a disciple.

But if two of them appeared at the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen would need to consider the issue of inequality rather than scarcity, and it was most likely a matter of distribution among his three disciples.

Orochimaru already had a disciple, and he told Tatsuma clearly that he would not accept the two of them as disciples. Jiraiya could not accept both of them as disciples because he had to free one for Tsunade.

This couldn't help but make Tatsuma feel entangled in his heart. What benefits would it bring to him to become Tsunade's disciple?

This world also attaches great importance to the teacher-successor relationship. You don't have to join a jounin team to become a jounin disciple. Generally speaking, the jonin captain and the genin team members generally have a superior-subordinate relationship, at most, they are a mentor and a student.

Just like the protagonist class of the seventh team in the future, Kakashi is the leading jounin of Sakura Sakura. At the same time, the three of them also called Kakashi their teacher, but Kakashi did not accept the three of them as disciples.

The real teachers, or masters, of the three of them are Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade. This relationship is called the mentor-successor relationship.

The master-teacher relationship is not only a symbol of status, but also means the teaching of Ninja and exclusive skills. Of course, the exception is the case of Orochimaru taking in a father.

If Tatsuma becomes Tsunade's disciple, there will definitely be no problem with his status, and he will even be more upright and popular than Namikaze Minato, who originally became Jiraiya's disciple, but

What Tsunade is good at is not suitable for Tatsuma. Monster power and medical treatment are what Tsunade is good at, but it happens to be what Tatsuma is least good at, because he has no special physique at all and does not want to take the medical ninja route.

So all Tsunade could give him was a layer of identity endorsement. Thinking of this, Tatsuma glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he seemed to understand. Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Jiraiya to lead the two men as jounin.

means.

No matter who of the two becomes Tsunade's master in the future, there is no need to inherit Tsunade's ninja skills and skills. Jiraiya will sort out the future path for the two of them, and Tsunade does not need to devote her attention to teaching her disciples.

It is good for anyone to become Tsunade's disciple. What both master and disciple need and can give each other is fame. Tsunade's reputation can protect the disciple's growth, and when the disciple grows up, he can also carry forward the master's reputation.

There will only be one person who will suffer, and that is Jiraiya. But with the relationship between Jiraiya and Tsunade, maybe Tsunade will rush to suffer even if he doesn't want to.

After thinking about this, Tatsuma smiled. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been observing the two of them, saw Tatsuma's reaction and couldn't help but think of Uzumaki Mito's words of appreciation that Tatsuma resembled Tobirama-sensei.

If Uzumaki Mito was talking about Tatsuma's decisiveness in confronting the enemy, then Tatsuma's ability to think deeply and see through things now is undoubtedly very similar to that of the second generation Hokage.

"Okay, your team should get acquainted with each other. Jiraiya, please take these two children and leave. If you have any questions, just come back to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, Jiraiya nodded, looked at the two of them, and said, "Follow me, little devils."

As he spoke, Jiraiya rushed to the window nearby. When Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly changed from joy to anger, Jiraiya accidentally broke the window again and hit and run.

Tatsuma and Minato glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had an extremely exciting expression on his face, and then carefully climbed over the window and followed Jiraiya to escape.

After passing half of the core area, Jiraiya stopped on the roof of a building, looked back at the two people who had followed them without any pressure, and said: "Not bad, I thought it would be good if you have a genin level.

."

Of course, Jiraiya didn't use his full strength. Even for him, it was a bit slow, but not just any genin could keep up. Even some newly promoted chuunin would have difficulty.

But Tatsuma and Tatsuma followed up without blushing or out of breath. Minato smiled sheepishly and scratched his head, while Tatsuma said: "If you use the teleportation technique, with our level,

I definitely can’t catch up.”

Jiraiya did not respond to Tatsuma's flattering words, but leaned against the low wall and said, "Although I am already familiar with you two, I still need to go through the process. Let me introduce myself.

Let's start with me as the leader of the team. My name is Jiraiya, a Konoha jounin. I am good at ninjutsu except thunder escape. My hobby is literary creation and inspiration. I hate it.

In other words, what I can't stand is Orochimaru's stinky snake. My dream is to change the ninja world, or to guide others to change the ninja world. It's your turn."

Minato nodded and spoke first: "My name is Namikaze Minato, a genin of Konoha. I am good at throwing ninja tools and taijutsu, although not as good as Tatsuma-kun. My hobby is reading.

Annoying. I haven’t thought of anything annoying yet. My dream is to become a ninja recognized and trusted by everyone, just like Lord Hokage.”

"Hokage? It's really a common dream for people of this age."

Jiraiya sighed and looked at Tatsuma, who nodded and said: "My name is Sakamoto Tatsuma, a genin of Konoha. I am good at the same thing as Minato. In fact, my level is about the same as Minato. My hobby is to defeat people I recognize.

I have a specific thing that I hate, and that is my curly hair. I dream of finding everyone worthy of the challenge and defeating them, and preferably I can also find a way to make my hair straight and smooth."

"You are indeed very competitive. I understand your basic information, but you didn't mention me. Why are you still not good at the ninjutsu I taught you?"

Jiraiya made some weird "questions". Just when Minato was about to explain, Jiraiya stopped him by rubbing his hair with his hand, and then Jiraiya continued:

"From now on, just call me Jiraiya-sensei, or Sensei. Although our temporary team will be disbanded, no matter which of you becomes Tsunade's disciple, it will not change the fact that you are my students. Do you understand?"

Minato nodded, then realized something was wrong, Tatsuma looked at Jiraiya speechlessly, Jiraiya also reacted, scratched his head and said: "Ah hahaha~ I accidentally leaked it.

Forget it, you will need to experience it in the future anyway. Just know it. For now, the most important thing for you is to learn the skills of ninja and how to become a real ninja.

Since you are already my students, I will not begrudge you. Unless you only have thunder attribute chakra, I can teach you."

Jiraiya spoke very confidently, and Minato nodded. He had heard Tatsuma say that every ninja has its own chakra, one or more, but neither of them knew their chakra attributes very well.

Because the chakra test strips were too expensive and were not within their consumption range, Jiraiya seemed to be prepared, took out a few pieces of paper and said:

"Next, let's test your chakra attributes first."
