The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

Chapter 57 Apprenticeship
  The Third Generation and Jiraiya have actually tried this test. It is precisely because they tried it that they know that they do not have the talent to learn Flying Thunder God, and they also know how difficult it is.

Of course, with their ninjutsu abilities, it's not impossible to learn them if they want to, but they can probably only learn the flying thunder god formation.

However, they thought about the formation of the Flying Thunder God. To be honest, this would embarrass the Flying Thunder God. It would be better not to learn it, as it would be of no use.

Although this talent is only applicable to the Flying Thunder God, but again, that is the Flying Thunder God! A strategic-level ninjutsu that has been proven for four generations!
  "Ahem, Jiraiya, if you still need to continue to answer the prophecy and find the son of the prophecy and don't have time, then you might as well let me come as your master." The third generation said without any change in his expression.

Suddenly, Jiraiya was stunned, and then looked at his teacher carefully, but found that the other person didn't even have the slightest intention of blushing, and couldn't help but said, "Teacher, where is your face? Are you competing with your own apprentice for your apprentice?" "

In an instant, Sandai's face turned dark, and he began to form seals in his hands.

"Hey, old man!" Jiraiya's expression changed, and then he was knocked unprepared by the third generation.

Xia Li looked at this scene and sighed to himself. He was indeed the Third Hokage and one of the Three Ninjas. He would have been unable to resist the playful moment of exchange just now.

However, this was the first time to see the third generation like this. Although Xia Li didn't often see the third generation, he could definitely guess that the third generation would never be like this.

It was precisely in front of Jiraiya that he showed such an attitude and performance.

Therefore, Xia Li also lamented that the three generations were old.

Only when you are old will you become so sentimental, especially cherish your own feathers, often fall into a state of reminiscing, and you can't control your emotions.

But, then again, even though he is old, he is still so safe, and the Flying Thunder God probably wouldn't have given it to him if he didn't have Jiraiya.

To be honest, Xia Li has always known that the third generation is old, and even taking this into account, he thought that with his performance, he would be able to get the Flying Thunder God from the old third generation. It may be a little bit close, but time can smooth it out. close this gap.

However, reality made Xia Li understand that the third generation was still the same third generation, he was just older, and some basic calculations were still there.

Xia Li didn't count on Jiraiya. Although he knew it was possible, the uncertainty was too great, so he even targeted Haruno Sakura in Class 7 instead of Jiraiya. .

However, Xia Li smiled. Although he was disappointed, the result was good.

The farce between the third generation and Jiraiya ended quickly, and finally the third generation gave up.

Xia Li also breathed a sigh of relief. He had no right to choose here, only the right to be chosen. Although he wanted to become Jiraiya's disciple, if the third generation chose him in the end, could he refuse? Does not!

However, both the third generation and Jiraiya are of great benefit to the current Xia Li.

"Hmph, boy, from now on, you will be my disciple." Jiraiya said and laughed.

"Yes, I have met the teacher." Xia Li also had excitement in her tone. She didn't have to pretend this time, she was really excited.

Xia Li actually didn't mind giving Jiraiya the traditional apprenticeship process he remembered, but there didn't seem to be that many processes on the Hokage's side, so it wasn't too much trouble, so he just had to remember it in his mind.

"Well, now that it's confirmed, let's leave quickly." Sandai said casually.

Seeing this, Jiraiya casually said hello to the third generation and wanted to take Xia Li away. However, Xia Li definitely couldn't be as casual as Jiraiya. After getting the signal from the third generation, he followed Jiraiya and left. .

After they left, Sandai suppressed his smile, tapped the table with his cigarette rod, and then a masked figure appeared in front of him.

"Go to Danzo and tell him again to be more honest these days." There seemed to be a shadow under the Third Hokage's hat, and the voice came through the hat. "yes!"

The ANBU captain responded directly without asking anything, and left the Hokage's office the next moment.

The third generation looked into the distance, feeling a little relieved. Jiraiya was stronger than he thought. In this case, he felt more at ease.

Although there was a prophecy from the Great Toad Sage, the Third Generation still hoped that Xia Li could keep Jiraiya in Konoha, but the Third Generation also knew that there was little hope.

His disciple's head is pretty cool. If he hadn't sent a dozen letters in a row this time, Jiraiya might not have come back. Although the third generation now feels that it's okay for Jiraiya to come back, he might be able to make more A genius disciple.

Soon, Danzo looked at the ANBU captain in front of him with a very ugly face, because there were many roots lying on the ground around him. It seemed that they were forcibly pulled out by the ANBU captain and thrown in front of Danzo.

"What do you mean Hiruzen? I've given in enough." Danzo said coldly.

"Hokage-sama asked you to be more honest these days." The ANBU captain truthfully conveyed the third generation's words.

"You have said this before, and I asked the roots to step back!" Danzo roared angrily.

"Then shrink all the roots. Also, I only know that Jiraiya-sama is back." The ANBU captain didn't say anything more, and left after taking the third generation's words.

Danzo looked at the members of his roots who had all been thrown out with a cold face, gritted his teeth, and finally ordered, "There is no need to 'look after' the Kyuubi kid recently."

Danzo naturally knew what the Sandai was worried about. Wasn't he afraid that Jiraiya would find out about Naruto's treatment and have a grudge in his heart?

Everyone lying on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. If Danzo-sama asked to continue at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable for them.

Not to mention the third generation, even if Jiraiya was caught spying on the monster, it would be difficult for him to survive.

Danzo was thinking about why Jiraiya came back at this time?
  It was probably Hiruzen who called him back, but what happened in Konoha that required Jiraiya to come back at this time? Uchiha genocide?
  No, this matter has passed. If you want to call me back, you should call me back earlier.

At this time, a piece of news came back, which was sent back by the root members who were monitoring the Hokage's door from a distance.

The moment he saw Xia Li's name, Danzo instantly understood why. This was to notify Jiraiya to come back and recruit disciples!
  "Hiruzen!!"

Danzo gritted his teeth. How was he worse than Jiraiya? Why did he risk thousands of miles to call Jiraiya back but why was he unwilling to hand over Xia Li to him? !

However, it was not the worst news at least. The other party did not come back to inherit the position of Hokage, so Danzo finally breathed a sigh of relief after knowing it. It was not just that Jiraiya came back to succeed Hokage.

Hiruzen had Hashirama cells and felt he could wait, but Jiraiya couldn't. As for Xia Li, he was still too young and far from posing a threat.

However, that deep dissatisfaction was still imprinted in Danzo's heart.

　PS: When you talk about apprenticeship with Jiraiya, do you think that after talking so much about Sakura, there is nothing about Sakura?

　　The truth is actually very simple. People only set goals that can be determined. Jiraiya's uncertainty is too great. Even if he works hard, he still needs to rely on luck, so it cannot be a goal.

　　Therefore, in this state, Sakura is the only target that can be determined.
