Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

Then, he smiled and dismissed the idea in his mind: "Forget it, I'm not suitable for this type of novel. Besides, the theme of the next novel has been decided, right?"

"Heroes' Stories, collect the materials and start writing."

Jiraiya chuckled and said, "It's great to be young."

Minato and Kushina both turned to look at Jiraiya, not sure what he meant by that: "Jiraiya-senpai, you're not old at all, you're even a few years younger than my brother."

Jiraiya's smile grew even brighter when he heard this: "Children won't understand these things. Let's talk about them when you grow up."

The two scratched their heads and looked at each other: "Weird adults, will we be like this when we grow up?"

Kushina shook her head, "Who knows."

Jiraiya naturally heard everything they were whispering about, but he suddenly smiled heartily.

"Ah, I am really full. Let's rest for a while. We have to hurry on our way."

"it is good!"

The entire team of ninjas said in unison that it was already great to have some time to eat lunch, as the mission was important and they could not rest for too long.

At this time, Yahiko and Konan had just finished their meal. Yahiko drew out the flowing sword given to him by his master and wiped it gently with his clothes.

The sword was very shiny, especially since the weather was clear and the light shining on the sword made it look even more dazzling.

"During this trip to Yu Province, I must hone my sword skills and give Master a big surprise."

Seeing Yahiko's energetic look, Xiaonan encouraged him again, and then secretly promised herself: "I must make progress this time, and I can't be surpassed by Yahiko!"

Xiaonan still remembers the wish he made on the day he became a disciple to learn from the wind, which was to be able to touch the sky.

Now her wish has been half fulfilled, and she can fly with her own strength.

Unfortunately, Konan’s chakra is not enough to support her flying above the clouds, so she still needs to practice harder.

Winning over Yahiko in the competition did not make her feel proud. Instead, in order to prevent Yahiko from working hard to surpass her, Konan practiced even harder.

After that, he had several sparring matches with Yahiko and both won and lost.

Overall, their strength is evenly matched, and neither is much stronger than the other.

In this mission, Konan was also full of energy and planned to compete with Yahiko.

The outcome will depend on the performance of these two children.

About twenty minutes later, Jiraiya spoke again, by this time all the ninja had finished their meal and taken a nap.

It can be said that my energy has almost been restored.

I checked the time on my phone. It was just past twelve thirty. "Everyone, we need to get on with our journey. Pack up your things and restore this patch of grass to its original state."

As soon as Jiraiya gave the order, everyone started moving immediately.

Although he laughs all day long, no one will look down on him. As one of the few immortals in the village, Jiraiya's reputation is still very loud.

Within five minutes, the entire raised land was restored. The grass ninjas on it were powerless and could only wait for it to grow back on its own.

Jiraiya didn't care about that much. As long as it was generally acceptable and there was no garbage, it was fine.

This is not because he is troublesome, it is all due to Qufeng's strict requirements and the rules of Konoha Village.

"Okay everyone, we're about to set off. I'm going to increase my speed a bit to ensure we can reach the Rain Province before sunset. You need to keep up."

Among these ninjas, the weakest ones are Chunins, so their physical strength is definitely not a problem.

Not to mention that they had a short break at noon, which was enough for them to run for the whole afternoon.

"Don't worry, Lord Jiraiya, we can all keep up." The captain patted his chest and said affirmatively.

The other ninjas also shouted.

So Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction, and then ran quickly in the direction indicated on the map.

The huge ninja team quickly caught up and maintained a steady pace.

Nothing happened along the way. Nowadays, bandits, robbers, and wandering ninjas are a thing of the past in the Land of Fire.

Haven't heard of it in several years.

And the expected Ronin attack did not seem to happen. After all, with such a large ninja team, they could already conduct small-scale national wars and did not have to fear werewolves at all.

However, as they approached the Rain Province, they discovered many traces of fighting on the trees on both sides of the road.

It should be that the wave of ninjas a few days ago were ambushed by ronin on the way.

Everyone was a little nervous for a moment, worried that their brothers would be injured or sacrificed.

Discussions began within the team, with people speculating which side had won.

"Everyone, don't be anxious. We will arrive at the Rain Province soon. If you have any questions, just ask the Hokage's clone directly. Speculating like this will only waste your energy."

Jiraiya stopped the ninjas from whispering before the situation could escalate.

The tone was not particularly good, and the ninjas behind him were shocked and immediately shut up.

The leader then said: "Master Jiraiya is right. I believe that the ninjas of our Konoha Village will not be harmed by the ronin. You should also have some confidence in your brothers."

The captain is undoubtedly the good guy. With him and Jiraiya, one white and one red, working together, everyone immediately feels relieved.

"Yes, the captain is right. We should hurry on our way."

"Yeah, that's right."

"Correct!"

Jiraiya, who was leading the charge, smiled and silently gave a thumbs up to the captain in his heart.

During the rest of the journey, nothing happened within the team, and we had a smooth journey all the way to the border of the Rain Province.

This is a magical place. The sky was clear in the Fire Nation, but when they arrived near the border, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The road became muddy and the surrounding grass turned into swampy puddles that posed a hazard.

You can get caught if you're not careful.

"Everyone, pay attention, adjust your formation, follow my steps closely, and don't enter the grass."

Jiraiya had been to Rain Province many times, and he knew very well how disgusting the terrain there was.

Some of these ninjas are veterans who have participated in the war against the Rain Country.

Some of them were promoted to Jonin in recent years. Although they had never participated in it, they had heard of the harsh terrain of the Rain Country.

So we are very careful.

This was Minato's first time in the Rain Country. Since this place was completely autonomous, he had never been here to carry out a mission.
