Chapter 30: Mito's Invitation
"Tsk, not cute at all, like a little hedgehog, but it really does look like one." Tsunade's tense expression suddenly relaxed, as if she was lost in some kind of memory.
The sudden relaxation brought a sigh of relief to everyone except Jiraiya.
Nawaki and Minato's worship of Fushiko was like a never-ending, surging river.
Jiraiya, on the other hand, fell into self-doubt, wondering if "violent women" all preferred Fushiko Kuroyo's type.
Kushina was still a child, so we'll leave that aside for now, but Tsunade's unusual attitude just doesn't make sense.
"Now that everyone's here, Jiraiya, go and call Sakumo-senpai over." Orochimaru said to Jiraiya, who was looking at Emo with a hint of annoyance.
Strangely enough, they had originally planned for the four of them to come back tomorrow.
After all, Fushiko and Kushina had gone off to duel, and they couldn't afford to waste their seniors' time.
As it turns out, Jiraiya didn't know what he secretly said to Sakumo, but Sakumo-senpai patted his chest and said something inexplicable like patience is also a part of ninja training.
Jiraiya nodded upon hearing his best friend's words, his melancholy vanishing as he strode toward the other side of the training field.
Soon after, two men with white hair slowly walked over.
"This is the senior I was telling you about, Hatake Sakumo."
Jiraiya explained.
"Don't underestimate him. Sakumo is a senior who's stronger than all of us, and he's also the head of the Anbu. Especially his swordsmanship; it's among the best in the entire ninja world!"
Orochimaru and Tsunade nodded in agreement.
Shuo Mao's strength and character were both impeccable, which reassured the three of them that they could entrust the children to him.
If it weren't for the fact that he had recently carried out several S-level missions, the old man had ordered him to take a vacation to recuperate.
They can't find such a good teacher yet.
"So it was him." Fu Heiyao recognized the white-haired man at a glance.
The white-haired characters from Konoha have quite a few scenes, especially in the earlier periods.
Jiraiya, Hiruko, Tobirama Senju, and Kakashi.
The man standing before you, Sakumo Hatake, is none other than Kakashi Hatake's father and the future teacher of the main characters.
He had relatively few scenes, but Fu Heiyao still had a deep impression of him.
After all, Sakumo is the only strong person who was bullied to the point of suicide.
"Train hard, Minato," Jiraiya patted Minato on the shoulder.
"Sakumo's guidance is a good fit for you. Maybe you can find a chance to surpass that brat Fukuko under his guidance."
Minato: I'm going to fight Yo, really?!
Minato reluctantly agreed to Jiraiya's request with a forced smile, his heart filled with curiosity about his senior.
Although surpassing Yao is unlikely, the fact that Jiraiya gave such an evaluation in itself represents a kind of recognition.
What secrets does this senior hold?
Orochimaru nodded without saying anything more.
He has never been good at farewell occasions; since they will meet again next time, he doesn't care about saying any polite words.
"In that case, we'll be going now." Tsunade took the opportunity to gently rub Fukuyo's cheek as a farewell. "Good luck, you guys!"
"Oh, by the way, Grandma asked me to invite you to dinner tonight. Remember not to cultivate too late."
"Understood," Fu Heiyao replied with a stiff face, barely suppressing the urge to summon the bull to smash Tsunade away.
"Grandma actually invited you to dinner, does she want to discuss your relationship with Kushina?"
Rope Tree asked curiously.
In fact, although Nawaki is a bit hot-blooded and silly in personality, he knows a lot.
As the only grandson of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, he has attracted a great deal of attention.
Whether it's the villagers or the Senju clan members who worship Hashirama.
Especially the Senju clan members who have retired; even in retirement, their worship of Hashirama has not diminished.
At times like these, as the direct descendant of Hashirama's bloodline, Nawaki would always be instilled with various things by someone, even with Mito's protection.
You can't control what even a single word someone says.
Rope Tree knew a little about the routine matter of arranged marriages.
He wondered if his grandmother wanted to test Fu Heiyao and arrange a marriage between them later.
"If you teach me that glowing secret technique, your brother Rope Tree might put in a good word for you."
Fu Heiyao glanced at him and was about to form the hand seal for the giant serpent.
Seeing this, Rope Tree shuddered and quickly pressed down on Fukuyo's hands, which were about to form a hand seal.
He thought to himself, "How could this Fu Hei be so wicked?"
Ever since Fukuyo learned that Nawaki was a little afraid of Orochimaru's snakes, he has been summoning snakes to bite him.
This caused Nawaki to become afraid whenever he saw Fukuyo forming hand seals.
"They're so energetic," Hatake Sakumo smiled knowingly as he watched the three of them fooling around.
This is the bond between children, a youth imbued with the will of fire.
As for the invitation from the reclusive widow of the first generation, Sakumo pretended not to hear it.
That's not his business.
"Little ones, it looks like we'll be spending a lot of time together in the future."
Sakumo Hatake greeted him with a light laugh.
Although Fu Heiyao is rather self-centered, his environment has taught him to be respectful.
When their future mentor spoke, the three of them fell silent.
Ignoring Kushina, who was sleeping with a rabbit-shaped body pillow, Sakumo turned his gaze to the three children on whom high hopes were placed.
Nawaki, grandson of the First Hokage, needs no further introduction regarding his prestige.
He has a cheerful and lively personality, but his fighting style is somewhat incompatible with his personality.
Fukuyo was praised by Orochimaru as an unparalleled genius in terms of jutsu, and was said to have half Uchiha blood.
Although she may appear cold on the surface, she is actually a very thoughtful and considerate person.
According to Orochimaru's intelligence, he is highly skilled in both lightning release and swordsmanship.
We get along quite well.
As for the final Minato, Sakumo Hatake's expression changed after his gaze swept over him.
He sensed the presence of a speed-type ninja in Minato.
Whether from the perspective of stance, force exertion, or habits, it is undoubtedly a posture that maximizes one's speed.
It's a pity Minato doesn't wield a sword, otherwise Sakumo really wanted to show off to Jiraiya.
"I've reviewed all your intelligence, and they're all quite distinctive," Sakumo said after a moment's thought.
"Given your young age, I will first teach you physical skills, and then provide guidance according to each person's individual characteristics."
"Speaking of which, you should all know your own chakra nature, right?"
"I know, I have all attributes."
Rope Tree looked smugly at the two people beside him.
Nawaki possesses exceptional talent; he has the powerful physique and all-attribute chakra of the Senju clan, as well as a chakra level far exceeding that of the Uzumaki clan.
However, just like in a point-adding game, Rope Tree is a genius in every aspect, but he doesn't have any particularly outstanding points.
Once he develops, he'll be an all-around elite Jonin, but that's about it.
It lacks Kushina's inhumanly massive chakra capable of suppressing tailed beasts, and it also lacks Minato's speed that is too fast for people to react to.
"As for me, I possess three chakra natures: lightning, fire, and wind," Minato replied with a smile.
"It has three attributes, including the rare wind attribute, which is quite impressive."
Sakumo was somewhat surprised, as he himself was a speed-type ninja with both lightning and wind attributes.
Some of the secret techniques that suit his fighting style also have these two attributes, which is unexpected. Minato happens to have both.
A natural speed type, with both lightning and wind chakra attributes that are compatible with speed.
In an instant, Sakumo's desire to make Minato his disciple grew stronger.
However, his strong will to fire suppressed this "despicable" thought.
"As for me, it would probably be thunder, fire, and water."
Fu Heiyao thought of the chakra test results from a few years ago.
At first, he only had two attributes: lightning and fire. However, he later cultivated the water attribute through Manxiang's techniques.
"Generally speaking, the chakra nature of the Uchiha clan includes fire." Sakumo was not surprised.
"By the way, do you know the differences between the five chakra natures?"
Shuo Mao kept everyone in suspense, deliberately choosing an obscure topic to try and establish a prestigious image as a mentor.
The three little ones looked at each other and shook their heads.
