Jiraiya and Watergate passed through several streets in a blink of an eye before stopping.
Under the dim street lights, the two of them were in a sorry state.
At this time, Watergate's face was red. Although he only took a glance and turned back, he still saw something embarrassing.
Jiraiya looked around like a habitual criminal. After confirming that there was no one around, he looked at Watergate and said.
"Why are you here?"
Only then did he notice Watergate's expression. His face and neck were all red.
"I … I thought you left first because you had something important to do, so …" At this time, Shui Men was speaking timidly, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Jiraiya waved his hand. Watergate's words were illogical, but he understood. After all, this was the first time he had experienced such a "major life event."
Then, his expression became a little strange, and he moved closer to Watergate and asked, "Kid, what do you think of the scene just now?"
Watergate glanced sideways and saw Jiraiya's wretched expression again. He didn't know how to answer his question.
"That's … not very good, is it?"
After a while, he finally thought of this sentence. No matter how smart he was and how steady his mind was, he was still incoherent when it came to this kind of matter.
When Jiraiya heard this, his expression became a little unhappy. He said, "You don't understand, do you?
This is the true meaning of life … "
He talked to himself, but Watergate's dull expression made it seem as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Hehe, it's too early to say this to you. After all, you're still a child."
Jiraiya stroked his chin and said, "Tomorrow morning, we'll start training at the Seventh Training Ground. That's all."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shui Men to react, he had already disappeared without a trace.
That kind of speed was something that the current him could not see through.
Watergate stood in a daze under the street lamp for a long time before his flushed face gradually returned to normal. Just as he was about to leave, a voice rang in his ears.
"Be careful … Sensei Jiraiya."
He immediately stopped in his tracks. The red-haired girl appeared in his mind once again. Although he still couldn't see her face clearly, Watergate could clearly see the helplessness hanging at the corners of her mouth …
"Who is she?"
Watergate's heart pounded. He leaned against the street lamp and slowly bent down. His blue pupils shrank.
The woman's words echoed in his mind.
Be careful, Mr. Jiraiya?
That wasn't a warning tone. Although the woman said that, he could tell that she respected teacher Jiraiya very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have addressed him as teacher.
This red-haired girl who often appeared in his mind was definitely acquainted with Mr. Jiraiya. Perhaps, like him, she was also a student of Mr. Jiraiya.
Minato always felt that when he saw her, his emotions would become uncontrollable. Amidst the joy, there was also a strong sense of sadness …
Thinking back, all of this started from the day he saw Shinna Kushina …
Someone who could make Sandaime Naruto send an Anbu to protect her must be someone special.
"Shinna Kushina must be very unhappy to be monitored like this, right?"
Watergate slowly got up. Thinking of Shinna Kushina's sad expression when she left the ninja academy every day, his mood became gloomy.
"Maybe Jiraiya sensei knows something about Shinna Kushina!" Watergate's eyes lit up. Sensei is Sandaime Naruto's disciple. He's also one of the higher-ups in the village.
Sensei went to the ninja academy to teach to observe him. But at that time, he deliberately got close to Mikoto and Shinna Kushina.
He must have his own reasons for doing so!
While thinking, Watergate returned home. Facing the empty house, his heart was filled with a warm feeling.
Jiraiya sensei gave him a feeling of being a teacher and a father. Finally, he was no longer lonely.
So, after putting down some of the questions in his heart, he was looking forward to tomorrow's training.
Watergate looked at Naruto Rock outside the window. Becoming a student of Sensei, he was one step closer to his dream.
The next day, at the first glimmer of dawn, Minato had already left the house and was heading towards the seventh training ground.
When he arrived at the training ground, he found out that Sensei was already there.
"Sorry, Jiraiya sensei, I'm late …"
Although he was early enough, today was the first time he trained with Jiraiya sensei. It was very impolite of him to be later than Sensei.
So, he wanted to go up and apologize.
When Watergate approached Jiraiya, the latter's closed eyes suddenly opened, and then a punch was thrown at Watergate.
Watergate's reaction was also very fast, but under Jiraiya's hands, he could only dodge the punch. His body turned over and half fell to the ground.
Before he could fully react and his body was still in a state of stiffness, the teacher's other punch had already arrived.
A complete Taijutsu move, after a short exchange, Watergate was forced into a desperate situation.
"Bang!"
But when Jiraiya's punch hit Watergate's body, there was a burst of smoke, and what fell to the ground was a piece of wood that was almost shattered.
"So close …" Watergate's figure appeared a few meters away, and he shouted.
"He doesn't look like a freshman of Ninja School at all …"
Jiraiya retracted his fist. How could he not see that when Minato dodged his first attack, Minato had already begun to form the Substitution Jutsu, so he was able to escape the second time when he was almost unable to dodge.
This not only requires a very strong reaction ability, but the most important thing is the combination of actual combat experience and a quick mind.
In this short time, it is necessary to formulate a set of policies to get yourself out of trouble and seize the opportunity to implement it.
There is no doubt that Watergate has this talent, and he succeeded.
Whoosh!
After retracting his fist, Jiraiya's figure quickly crossed the distance of a few meters, and a palm shot towards Watergate's face.
With that kind of speed, even a Genin can't react, but Watergate, who was prepared, was not in this category. His figure moved to the side, and after dodging the blow, he made a counterattack.
There is no doubt that Sensei is testing his strength.
The two began a confrontation here. After holding on for more than ten rounds, Watergate was finally captured by Jiraiya.
In any case, there is an immeasurable gap between the two now.
With both hands tightly locked, Jiraiya smiled and said to Watergate: "You adapted quickly to my way of meeting …"
Watergate, who was caught, smiled bitterly and said: "You are indeed Sensei, even your clone, I am not your opponent now."
Jiraiya heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Have you noticed it?"
"Bang!"
Immediately, "Jiraiya", who caught Watergate, turned into a light smoke again, and his body appeared in front of Watergate at the same time.
