"So, since you know my name, boy, should you also report your own name?"

This is a word of asking knowingly.

But sometimes.

You have to pretend to be confused.

Jiraiya knows Naruto's identity.

Naruto also knows Jiraiya knows his identity.

But at this moment.

No prior discussion.

The two must be treated as the first time they met and just met.

"Ah, this is really a shame. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha Shizuin, who just graduated this year! Please give me some advice from Lord Jiraiya."

Naruto bowed slightly and said softly.

"Naruto Uzumaki?"

Jiraiya was secretly chanting Naruto's name in her heart.

The sound and appearance of Kushina Uzumaki also appeared in my mind again.

Regarding the situation of my disciple and his wife.

Jiraiya still feels guilty.

12 years ago, the Nine-Tail Riots, and Minato and Kushina died, leaving only one orphans. Jiraiya learned the moment, and Jiraiya immediately returned to the village. Jiraiya knew the details that ordinary people didn't know. At that time, Jiraiya proposed to raise Naruto himself, but the third generation of Naruto did not agree. He refused on the grounds that Naruto's special identity was better to downplay it.

We have no way of knowing whether the third generation of Naruto's actions were out of kindness or maliciousness.

Maybe I really want to give Naruto a normal environment for children to grow up.

Or maybe it's really dark.

I want Naruto to trust himself alone, so as to cultivate Naruto as a ‘weapon’ that he only uses for himself!

Anyway, no definite answer was given in the original work.

But it can be inferred from the process and the result.

The third generation of Naruto is actually too stupid.

Naruto was rejected.

There are even acts of bullying.

Not to mention whether it is dark or not.

At least it is certain that Naruto's childhood was not good, especially for a hero's son.

And he is also the orphan of the leader of a village!

And here on Jiraiya?

It was because he believed in his mentor and then chose to travel again. He had returned several times in the past 12 years. He had secretly observed Naruto in private and had also learned a little about Naruto's life. The more he understood, Jiraiya's guilt became more and more intense, but Jiraiya was also unable to blatantly fight his mentor.

And seeing Naruto ‘barely’ grow up normally.

This Konoha hero can only choose to deceive himself.

It’s just that the guilt in my heart still exists.

In the past three or four years, Jiraiya has not returned to Konoha Village for a long time. This time, Jiraiya chose to come back because of the sudden news that Orochimaru appeared in the Chunin exam. Seeing Naruto, who had grown up, wearing Konoha's forehead protection, Jiraiya's special emotion naturally surged out directly. There was no strangeness on the surface, but the violent rolling emotions deep in his heart were

Jiraiya himself knew it. (There was no similar information in the original work, and there was no such direct description of Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations. But Xiaoye felt that compared to this, Jiraiya should be the most affectionate and righteous person. If he didn't choose to take care of Naruto, it is probably because he has such a good-looking person, and it is more difficult to get caught between his mentor and disciple. Of course, the above is the author's own guess, and the whole family's words are not taken seriously.)

"So, since Lord Jiraiya has something to do, I won't disturb you."

Naruto bowed slightly again. Naruto now doesn't plan to have too much social interaction with Jiraiya, because Naruto cannot be sure how deep Jiraiya loves Konoha Village, or how deep the bond between the master and apprentice with the third generation of Naruto?

It's not just about planning.

The same is true for Jiraiya to know his own tendencies.

Because this is an undeterminable expansion.

In the original work, Jiraiya did give Naruto all his gifts.

The relationship between the two is indeed as close and harmonious as that of grandparents.

But that's in the original work.

That was the creation of Naruto who wanted to be Naruto.

Want to be a hero recognized by everyone in Konoha Village.

And now it's not.

Naruto was full of desire to destroy all ninja villages including Konoha!

Establish the ideal country in his mind.

As for the previous sentence, the so-called reform is not only too complicated, but also more likely to cause problems.

Destruction is the most worry-free and labor-saving way.

Of course, you can get less trouble, just less.

The Chunin exam is about to come to an end.

When your plan is about to be implemented.

Even if you have a record.

Naruto still doesn't intend to be incorporated into too many complex factors.

Necessary greetings are indispensable.

The rest.

It's better to choose to avoid it.

only.

That's what Naruto thought.

Jirai won't let Naruto get his wish.

"Hey! Don't leave in such a hurry. I just returned to the village. Your name is Naruto Uzumaki, right? Call you Naruto, okay?"

Jiraiya directly called out Naruto who wanted to leave.

There was a smile on his face that seemed very familiar to Naruto at least, and he said with a smile.

"Of course, Lord Jiraiya."

Although I don’t know what Jiraiya sells.

Naruto replied softly, looking a little alert.

And this subtle vigilant mentality.

It was also captured by Jiraiya, who was perceived and sensitive.

But Jiraiya didn't care.

Instead, it feels normal.

According to the general habits in the ninja world.

Jiraiya's identity can almost be said to have no need to give anyone face except for the third generation of Naruto in Konoha Village.

The same is true for Shimura Danzo and those two consultants.

And Naruto was just a squinin.

Differences in identity.

It is reasonable for Naruto to be vigilant if he has such an attitude.

But Jiraiya also has his own plans.

"This place is not suitable for conversation, let's change the place."

It seems that I noticed someone coming from other places.

Jiraiya coughed lightly and said so.

Immediately, I turned around and headed towards the northwest.

It seems that he is not worried that Naruto will not keep up.

And in fact, the same is true.

Looking at Jiraiya walking towards the distance like a wandering place.

Naruto sighed helplessly in his heart.

It can only be forced to keep up.
