Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

As I expected, when we arrived at the Ninja School the next day, Sensei Jiro informed us that the three of us would be assigned to one class, and the leading jonin was, as I expected, the heroic Jiraiya, one of the future Three Ninjas of Konoha and the teacher of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

I am not surprised at all. After all, there are not many elite jonin who are qualified to be our instructors. Sarutobi Hiruzen's three disciples are the best candidates in terms of both status and age.

After all, our instructor must not only have the ability to guide us, but also have a reliable political identity in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, that is, the so-called ninja who has inherited the will of fire.

We need someone who has inherited the Will of Fire to guide us, not just to guide us in training and executing missions, but more importantly to make us the inheritors of the Will of Fire. Otherwise, no matter how strong we are, it will be meaningless to Konoha and the Hokage, and we may even be a threat.

Originally, Tsunade, as the direct descendant of the first Hokage and the princess of the Senju clan, was the most suitable person in terms of both strength and status. However, Tsunade's own wishes were also very important. She had no interest in being a nanny for three little kids, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen could not force her.

Although Orochimaru is extremely talented and a recognized genius, he has also invested a lot of time and energy in the practice and research of ninjutsu. Moreover, as a ninja who pursues immortality and knowledge, Orochimaru has a calm, indifferent, and even cruel personality. His attitude towards the Will of Fire is questionable, so Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally would not trust him to teach us.

Although Jiraiya's talent is not the best among the three ninjas, his ninjutsu and taijutsu are relatively balanced, and he is capable of teaching us. More importantly, Jiraiya's identification with the will of fire and his pursuit of love and peace make him the perfect successor in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Just after Teacher Jiro informed us, Jiraiya also came to the Ninja School. Similar to the image I had in mind, Jiraiya was tall, wearing an oil-lettered forehead protector on his head, with long white hair that fell to his waist. His red coat and hearty smile made him look very friendly.

"Jiro, are these three guys the students that Sensei Hiruzen assigned to me?" It seems that Jiraiya and Sensei Jiro know each other and they have a good relationship.

"Yes, all three of them have passed the early graduation assessment this time, and the Hokage has appointed you as their guiding jonin." Teacher Jiro introduced to Jiraiya: "This is Hinata Kumoha, Uchiha Shinichi and Namikaze Minato, they will be in your hands from now on."

Jiraiya looked at us and nodded slightly: "My name is Jiraiya, and from today on I will be your guiding jonin."

Jiraiya motioned for us to follow him to the playground, took out a bell from his pocket and tied it around his waist: "I have heard about your graduation assessment. Now let's play it again. Let me see your level and specialties so that I can better guide you."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he motioned for the three of us to attack together. I took a look at the three of us. Actually, as a ninja team, the configuration was quite good. There was me as the main attacker and warrior, Minato as the assassin and roaming, and Shinichi as the mage and distraction. Except for the lack of treatment, it was already a top configuration.

The three of us are naturally no match for Jiraiya, who has the strength of an elite jonin. But this is a good opportunity for us to fully demonstrate our strength and cooperation so that Jiraiya can get to know us better.

I signaled to Minato and Shinichi, and they both stepped back slightly. As the main attacker, I was the main force to attract and entangle Jiraiya head-on, while Shinichi used ninjutsu and illusion to harass and restrain him, creating opportunities for Minato, who was the fastest, to grab the bell.

I took a deep breath, and all the muscles in my body became active under my control. After practicing the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seals for several years, coupled with daily exercise, my physical fitness is not inferior to that of a Chunin who specializes in physical skills.

I took a step forward and punched Jiraiya in the chest. As an elite jonin who was very proficient in both physical and ninjutsu, Jiraiya would not be easily hit by me, so he stretched out his hand to block it.

"Oh? You have such great strength. Aren't you from the Hyuga clan? How come you practice the Konoha Steel Fist?" Jiraiya blocked my punch and was secretly surprised when he felt the force in it.

I turned around and swung my arms, gathering chakra in my palms, and slapped Jiraiya's chest again. Jiraiya raised his palm to meet it, and with a snap, I used my soft fist to generate chakra to invade the meridians in Jiraiya's palms.

Although Jiraiya's chakra was strong and he dissolved my soft fist in an instant, he was still inevitably stiff for a moment: "The explosion of Konoha's steel fist and the softness of Hyuga's soft fist are mastered very skillfully, and the connection between the steel fist and the soft fist can be said to be seamless, not bad."

While Jiraiya was entangled with me, Shinichi had already opened his double magatama Sharingan, and when Jiraiya paused, he released the prepared ninjutsu: "Fire Style - Fire Phoenix Fairy Jutsu."

Jiraiya obviously also knew this technique, and knew that it had an automatic tracking function. It was useless to dodge. He circulated his chakra, shook his arm and shook me away, then quickly formed a seal: "Water Style - Water Wave Bullet."

The fire phoenix and the water bomb collided in the air, both disappeared, and a large amount of water vapor was emitted.
