【From the Snake】Go back and come

The rally between Naruto and Toad Bunta continues.

Because Naruto uttered wild words and asked Bunta to call him master, Bunta proposed that he would only admit to someone who would not fall off his head.

Mrs. Wen thinks this kid is very funny, he looks a bit like when Jiraiya just arrived at Mount Miaomu, but this kid is more serious than Jiraiya.

It's not bad to play with him, after all, the person who can channel me is too weak.

I really miss it, the last one standing on top of me was the fourth generation, this kid looks quite like him.

Jiraiya also hid aside to collect materials, but he was still worried, staring at the beautiful woman and Naruto at the same time.

It's tiring not to be able to concentrate on collecting materials, but I have to say that Naruto is a very hardworking and persevering kid.

I wish you success, this guy has a very strong combat effectiveness, but to get his approval, you must use your strength to speak.

Until the sun was about to set, seeing that Naruto was about to fall, he still used the shadow clone to save the scene.

Jiraiya also suddenly discovered that if there was no Kyuubi, Naruto's chakra would also have a lot of chakra, and his own chakra recovery is quite strong, is it hereditary Kushina?

But not long after standing still, Naruto still passed out due to lack of physical strength. It is no wonder that he fought with Toad Fumita for most of the day when his own chakra was exhausted. It is a miracle that he can last until now.

Seeing that Naruto fell down and Bunta hadn't responded yet, Zilai was a little anxious.

No, it will kill you if you fall like this.

Toad Bunta stretched out his tongue when Naruto fell into the air, rolled him up, and put it back on his head.

It's a pity, kid, it's just a little bit close.

But I appreciate your perseverance, let me help you in the future.

Zilai also understood this scene, saying, Wentai, I didn't expect you to be a duplicity guy.

He threw the scroll in front of Bunta, and Naruto's name was on the list.

Toad Fumta looked at Jiraiya with a bit of disgust.

It's really superfluous, of course I believe that this little devil came out of the psychic, even at the beginning I didn't doubt it.

Forget it, let's send the kid to that place first.

So that evening, a pair of giant toad footprints and a Naruto imp were received in the courtyard of Konoha Hospital.

The people watching Konoha Hospital from a distance carried Naruto into the ward, and Jiraiya disappeared in place with his seal.

It was night, and the third generation came home from get off work late at night, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt a long-lost familiar atmosphere.

"Jiraiya? Long time no see." Thirdaime took off his shoes and walked into the entrance.

"Long time no see, old man." Jiraiya came out from the shadows, "The feeling is as sharp as ever."

Turning on the light, the third generation hung the imperial robe on the hanger, "Why, I haven't been allowed to contact you all these years, why did you take the initiative to come here today?"

"Well, old man, don't blame me." Zilai also pulled a chair casually and sat down, "Isn't it because the juniors said that you want me to take over your class after the water gate is gone."

"If you haven't heard from me all these years, you just tell me you don't want to do it, right? There's no need to contact me, and I won't force you." Thirdaime made a pot of tea, poured a cup for Jiraiya, and then poured himself a cup, then sat down Jilai is also opposite.

"That's not your only reason, Jiraiya, or it's not the reason why you haven't come back at all." Sandaime took a sip of tea and asked.

"It's not cute if you're too sharp, old man." Ji Lai also answered the question in a voice that sounded like a sigh.

"I'm not some idle old man who basks in the sun every day at home, besides, I'm also your teacher anyway." The third generation frowned slightly, "Is it... because of Orochimaru?"

"Why does everyone ask that? It's really boring. I just passed by to collect materials and come to visit the teacher." Zilai also put on an impatient look.

"Don't use such words to prevaricate me. It's true that I didn't contact you, but it doesn't mean that I don't know why you did it. Ziraiya, it's been all these years, and you boy won't come to see me for no reason "Three generations sighed, feeling as if he was a little too hasty, so he tried to ease the atmosphere, "You...you met Naruto..."

"Ah, yes, I even taught that kid a few tricks." Jiraiya gently held the teacup in his hand, "That kid has grown up well, thank you so much, old man."

"There's no reason to thank me. I'm also responsible for the Minato incident. I feel guilty that Naruto's child didn't live a better life."

"It's better than I imagined, you don't need to blame yourself."

Third generation put down the teacup, "Jiraiya, you..."

"Old man" also interrupted the third generation. He kept his head down, and the third generation couldn't see his expression, "I came to tell you something."

The third generation suddenly panicked for no reason, and his intuition told him that it must be related to another apprentice of his, although Jiraiya denied it before.

"It's about Orochimaru...you tell me, Jiraiya." The third generation felt Jiraiya's extreme hesitation.

"I love him."

Like a blockbuster, Sandaime felt his mind go blank, speechless for a while.

The long silence intensified between the master and the apprentice across the long table.

Jiraiya clasped his hands tightly on the table, the tension of his whole body revealed his nervousness, his head could not be lowered any lower, as if someone who had committed a mistake was waiting for the verdict.

The third generation turned his head and looked out of the window, only the dark night and the cool moonlight outside.

Third generation turned his head to look at Jiraiya in front of him.

That is a man who has been baptized for decades like him. His disciple has experienced the pain of war, betrayal, loss, and near death. Speaking of experience, he is not much less than his teacher.

When I saw him again, I clearly felt the armor covering his whole body, and I clearly felt that he was already indestructible, but at this moment, I was helpless in front of him like a child.

Just like many years ago, when he saw the young Jiraiya for the first time, a bluffing child with an optimistic and sunny face, who likes to play pranks and mischief, but there is always a deep love in those black eyes. Loneliness and helplessness dazzled him.

He... felt that he had done something wrong.

Many people may find it difficult to accept, and he was shocked when he first heard those three words.

But Jiraiya has also spent decades telling him that his feelings are not false, isn't that enough?

His apprentice has experienced so much misfortune, although Orochimaru is one of the people who brought him misfortune, and loving him makes Zilai so painful, but if loving someone can make him feel even a sliver of happiness, then Let him love, whoever it is.

In my eyes, you are all like my children, already scarred, how can I hurt you again?

Sandaime sighed deeply, raised his head in shock, and looked at his teacher nervously.

"There is nothing wrong with loving someone, Ziraiya." The third generation looked at his apprentice with loving eyes.

"Master, I..." Ji Laiye's voice was a little choked up, and his eyes were red.

"As long as you can get happiness, no matter who teacher you like, I will not object." The third generation's tone was gentle.

He has almost never seen Jiraiya's fragile appearance. Since Jiraiya became a ninja, he has always looked out of shape, as if he would not have any troubles at all. Although there will be times of confusion, but in the end can cheer up.

The third generation knew that it was the way he took it out to comfort others to comfort himself.

He has always smiled and said words of encouragement, guarding without complaint or regret.Even his teacher ignored the soft heart under his hard armor.

Has it been hard work?It's really hard for you.

"This kind of words can tell me that you must be out of trust. How can I live up to your trust? Speaking of which, I am very happy that you trust me so much, old man teacher." The third generation said, as if talking to his own The child said in a normal way, "Really, you kid, don't look like you made a mistake."

"Old man... I... thank you very much." Zilai also expressed his gratitude from the heart because of the teacher's approval. If even the teacher feels disgusted, he really doesn't know what to do.

"Leave it to me about Orochimaru. You came back because of the news that he was going to attack the village, right? Then you can protect the village. Ziraiya. Originally, I should have been the one chasing him that year, right? I'm your teacher." The third generation paused, as if adjusting their emotions, "I didn't protect you well, and you have been guarding our class all this time. It's really hard for you, I'm sorry."

The third generation's apology made Jiraiya feel his nose sore, and the sound of tears falling on the table was very clear in the quiet night.

"Really, people in their 50s, how come they cry like a kid." Looking at Jiraiya who was crying silently, the third generation once again recalled his feelings in the year when Orochimaru defected and Jiraiya left.

I am really, quite a failure of a teacher.
