Tsunade, I am The Hokage!

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen let go of the crystal ball and a look of relief appeared on his face.

These three kids definitely can't beat Jiraiya.

But.

The fact that the task of snatching the bells could be completed so well was beyond the expectations of the third generation.

He originally thought——

If these three people could put aside their past grudges and maintain a certain degree of teamwork, perhaps Jiraiya would turn a blind eye and let them go. But now, Kyohiko and Yuhi Kurenai took the initiative to leave space and create opportunities for Kakashi.

Kakashi did not make a fuss, but took the initiative to seize the opportunity.

There is a conflict, but it does not affect the assessment.

Let’s keep things separate.

This is mature ninja thinking.

At the same time.

The one who leads all this

This was the child whom he had never cared about before.

No wonder Jiraiya singled him out.

The familiar Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.

The difference is.

Today's hands are full of youth, and his masculine face is full of youthful breath. But Kakashi put on the mask again.

Jiraiya came in and shouted, "Boss, four servings of ramen!"

"Okay, please take a seat, all four of you."

Waving hands and smiling.

"You guys sit here, I'm going to go buy some barbecue as a snack."

Jiraiya glanced around.

But.

I glanced at him from the side, feeling a little uneasy.

"Kyohiko, come with me and go see what you want to eat."

"Yes."

Kyohiko stood up respectfully.

The two left.

Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but sigh softly: "Master Jiraiya thinks highly of Kyohiko!"

Kakashi's eyes glazed over for a moment, and he hesitated to speak.

He remembered it clearly.

Then--

Jiraiya suddenly froze for a moment, distracting himself so he could cooperate in cutting the rope.

Something like "You don't want to either".

"Kakashi, you seem to know something?"

As a ninja who is good at illusion and perception, Yuhi Kurenai immediately noticed that Kakashi seemed a little strange. Kakashi thought about it and answered cautiously and briefly.

"Maybe we know each other."

"Jiraiya-sama and Kyohiko?"

"Yes."

"Kyohiko, you did a great job today."

"You showed mercy, otherwise we would not have been able to pass."

Kyohiko is not Naruto or Obito.

He knew very well that the gap between him and the "Three Ninjas" was not even a little bit, and he really didn't want them to get the bell, which would be too easy -

A needle Ksitigarbha can put an end to all delusions.

However.

From the beginning to the end, Jiraiya used the strongest ninjutsu, which was just a chaotic lion hair technique, and he didn't use the complete version. He just used it as a rope.

This is not just releasing water, it's releasing the sea.

Jiraiya coughed lightly: "After all, this is a Genin assessment, which mainly tests teamwork and attitude, not strength. In addition, about that matter..."

"Lord Jiraiya, there are some places in the village that you'd better avoid. After all, you are one of the three ninjas and represent the image of our Konoha ninjas." Kyohiko showed the integrity of a young boy.

Jiraiya's face turned red.

He had previously thought that Kyohiko had just passed by and had not noticed his lurking presence.

Now it seems that the other party just doesn't dare to intervene.

He replied awkwardly: "It was for collecting materials, don't misunderstand me."

"Oh."

Kyohiko had an expression of "I believe it".

Jiraiya was embarrassed.

He also knew that these words were hard to convince people.

"Whatever you want to eat, just order something. It's my treat!"

"I'm not the one paying for it, am I?"

"You little brat!"

After eating ramen and yakiniku, it was already afternoon. Jiraiya was unusually serious.

"From now on, you are already a team. I hope you can continue the cooperative attitude you showed this morning. In addition--"

Jiraiya looked at the three of them, "Have you ever practiced climbing trees and treading water?"

"Um."

The three of them nodded in unison.

Jiraiya pulled out a piece of paper.

"Kakashi, Kurenai should have been tested. You can take a test to see which ninjutsu is more suitable for you to practice."

"Although you cooperate well, Kakashi's lightning escape and sword skills are suitable for surprise assassinations, while Kurenai's illusion skills are more for containment and assistance, and they lack a front-facing shooter."

Jiraiya's meaning is self-evident.

Kyohiko is the most suitable team member for frontal combat.

"Yes, I understand."

Kyohiko doesn't practice ninjutsu, does that mean he doesn't want to practice?

That’s no chance!

Although he is a descendant of the Senju, he has been separated from the clan and has basically no ninjutsu reserves. After two generations of inheritance, he only has pension money left, and no ninjutsu scrolls.

Isn't it a waste of money to buy test strips?

He took the chakra paper.

After a while, a damp spot appeared on the paper.

Jiraiya said: "According to the performance of the paper, you directly possess water attribute chakra, so learning water escape ninjutsu is the fastest and most convenient."

Ninjutsu attributes are innate, but can also be developed later.

The attributes that Kyohiko possessed simply meant that it would be easier for him to learn water escape.

Theoretically, he could also cultivate other attributes.

"I heard that Kakashi is good at lightning escape, and I learned water escape ninjutsu, which can be used in conjunction with lightning escape."

As he spoke, a trace of admiration appeared on his face, "Also, my idol is the Second Hokage, his water escape technique is well-known in the ninja world, even the Hidden Mist Village is no match for him!"

The Second Hokage.......

A trace of reminiscence also appeared on Jiraiya's face.

That person's water escape technique is indeed extremely powerful.

It seems.

The child suffered a blow and his personality changed a lot, but he still leaned towards Konoha in his heart.

Jiraiya sighed for a moment, then came back to his senses.

"Okay, I'll teach you Water Wave later. Kurenai, your illusion is very strong, but you need to increase your physical training. Kakashi, you have the least problems, but you are also the most deadly. You need to take the initiative to cooperate with your partners, understand?"

He commented one by one.

The three of them nodded in unison.

With Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi on the side, Jiraiya began to teach ninjutsu.

"Water Wave is a basic water ninjutsu, but it is widely used, very convenient, and not difficult. You can try to learn it first."

Then he explained the order of making seals.

Dragon, Ox, Rabbit.

Jiraiya was still talking when Kyohiko followed suit and then -

Water Style: Water Wave!

Water gushed out of its mouth, turning into a raging torrent.

Jiraiya blinked, stunned for a moment.

With the addition of hand seals and ninjutsu, everything is still well organized.

Chakra control ability is pretty good!

As far as genin is concerned.

Kyohiko's level is already very high.

"It's amazing!"

Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

First time learning...

Got it right away.

This kind of talent is really amazing.

But.

Kyohiko himself knew that the reason he was able to succeed at once was not because of his own talent, but because the water waves were relatively simple, and secondly, it was due to the reward in the morning.

After the chakra control ability is improved, releasing ninjutsu becomes too easy!

Jiraiya didn't want him to be proud, so he pondered for a moment and said, "It's C-level, just the basics of water escape. Try the Water Wall, which is a B-level defensive ninjutsu."

"Good."

Kyohiko nodded.

He listened carefully to the order of seals, then increased his chakra output and spurted water from his mouth.

After a while——

A water wall about one person high appeared around him, just enough to protect him.

Jiraiya was stunned and shocked for a moment.

You boy!

How come his chakra control ability is so strong!

It’s almost as beautiful as the sunset.

That child is a genjutsu ninja. He has been practicing genjutsu since he was young and has a natural talent for it, which is why he has such a high level of chakra control ability!

Where is Kyohiko?

Over the past year or so, I have focused on training Taijutsu, Stand Jutsu, and Instant Body Technique. I guess I only practiced climbing trees and treading water to control chakra. Is this reasonable?

Thinking of the pain he had experienced when learning ninjutsu, Jiraiya's mentality collapsed and he fell into a long period of contemplation.
