014 Jiraiya's Troubles

Simu sat there carelessly, with his hands in his pockets, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Minato turned to Jiraiya and humbly asked, 

"Teacher Jiraiya, am I right?"

Jiraiya hesitated to speak.

Shouldn't this kind of knowledge be said by him, teacher?

Of the three students, one was too strong, and he casually blew up his clone.

He even awakened a new ninjutsu called Light Release, which ruined his plans for beating them

Minato, on the other hand, was modest and humble. Although he was still a student, he showed knowledge and talent that were hard for ordinary ninjas to match.

There is also the Jinchūriki, who hosts a wild and uncontrollable tailed beast. 

The strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, is sealed inside her, and it calls itself an "old hooligan" whenever she disagrees on something.

Jiraiya's gaze shifted between the three students before finally settling on Minato. 

Forget it; it seems Minato is the better 

His mouth twitched slightly. "Yes, yes." Kushina curled her lips in disgust.

"Tsk, who would have thought such a powerful little genius is actually a cheapskate?"

At this, Simu quickly took off his sunglasses, his expression turning serious. 

"Kushina, don't you want to repay your debt?"

Kushina turned her head away. "Don't worry, I'll pay you back when I have the money."

After hearing Kushina's assurance, Simu patted his chest in relief. 

"That's good. You can pay me back later, but you have to pay it back." 

This principle was important to Simu.

He looked at the pile of food on the table, then glanced at the time, yawned, and said, 

"Okay, it's getting late. It's time to go back and rest."

Minato and Kushina nodded in agreement, while Jiraiya remained lost in thought, staring at the bill.

"Jiraiya-san, the total for tonight's meal is 50,000 Ryo," the waiter said, handing him the bill.

It wasn't that the restaurant was expensive; it was just that Simu and the others ate too much. 

They had ordered enough barbecue for 50 people!

This bill was already discounted. 

With Simu's imitation value increasing daily, his physical development was starting to accelerate.

If Simu wanted to develop quickly, the best way was to consume a lot of nutrients. 

So when he had the chance to enjoy Jiraiya's treat today, he ate to his heart's content.

On regular days, he was reluctant to spend so much money on meat.

Back home, Simu lay comfortably on his bed and patted his stomach.

Because the ability of the Light fruit was revealed today, his imitation value increased again, rising from 20% to 23%.

As he starts taking on more tasks, his imitation value will continue to rise.

Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful, as Simu's display of terrifying power will surely leave an impact.

Minato and Kushina returned home and secretly activated their extra training mode.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya took out a jar of toad oil from the cabinet and applied it evenly over his body.

This oil comes from Mount Myōboku and helps humans better sense the natural energy in the air, aiding in the comprehension of Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku.

Unfortunately, Jiraiya has never been particularly talented in this area.

Even with the help of toad oil, his body still retained some toad-like traits. 

If he hadn't been inspired by Simu's incredible talent today, Jiraiya would have been ready to give up on mastering Sage Transformation.

Today's moment of clarity reminded him that if he didn't improve, he would soon lose his students!

…..

Early the next morning, Jiraiya came to the Hokage office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised.

"Why did you arrive so early today? It doesn't suit your style."

Jiraiya smiled wryly: "Teacher, you should know what happened yesterday." 

Third Hokage nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Whether it's Simu, Minato, or Kushina, they are all very talented kids, and I want to lead them to complete missions as soon as possible," Jiraiya said seriously.

Since the Third Hokage entrusted him with these three talented children, he felt a strong sense of responsibility.

He was confident in the future of the Simu trio. 

As long as there were no accidents, they would undoubtedly become the backbone of Konoha.

Become a towering giant tree that protects the young leaves and carries on the will of fire

Third Hokage crossed his arms and smiled.

The wrinkles on his face became deeper with this movement. 

He smiled and said, "Jiraiya, it's really rare for you to look so eager." 

The Third Hokage found it difficult to fully understand his disciple.

Jiraiya had always been able to procrastinate on tasks, so it was rare for him to come forward and pick one up like he did today.

To be cautious, the Third Hokage asked, 

"Do you think the three of them don't need any extra training?"

Generally, newly graduated students require about a week of training to adjust.

But Jiraiya was planning to skip this part, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"To be honest, the talent of these three students is a bit beyond my expectations. Ordinary training would just be a waste of their time."

He added, "Maybe in a few days, I won't even be qualified to guide them."

Although Jiraiya's tone was bitter, the Third Hokage could still see a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.

He thought back to when he taught Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, remembering his own desperate expression in front of Danzo.

What if a disciple's talent is just too high?
