He obviously wanted to take advantage of the disciple's time to relax his vigilance for a sneak attack, but Uchiha Itachi beat him to it... Now that he knew Itachi would not be careless while performing his mission, Jiraiya felt relieved.
What's more, except for Goemon, Jiraiya has almost exhausted his means. As a result, his disciple has not yet opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he has no means of checks and balances.
It's not that he, the teacher, is incompetent, but the disciples...
well……
Obviously, Kitahara has been put on the sidelines to watch the battle, but the Crow Sage mode still has too many bugs that have not been fixed compared to the Myoboku Mountain Sage mode.
Of course the old man wouldn't know that Uchiha Itachi was secretly drooling over the Myoboku Sage mode.
In fact, this assessment task is quite important. Since Konoha needs to coordinate the defense of the Kingdom of Grass, and the Defense Department is the core combat force of Konoha, Konoha's top management decided to send some personnel to rotate with the border ninjas stationed in the Kingdom of Grass.
However, this situation may attract interference from the Iwagakure Village. Taking into account the mood of another old immortal in the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes to complete this rotation as low-key as possible.
However, if the strength of the dispatched ninjas was too low and it would easily cause a backlash from the Kusanagi Village, Jiraiya simply suggested that his disciples should be responsible for coordinating, and on the surface, Uchiha Itachi would accompany the team in other capacities.
Before being sent out, Jiraiya decided to assess his disciples first and planned to strengthen their training. It was just the assessment results...
The white-haired old man held up his sleeves and looked at his disciple with satisfaction and said: "Old man, there is a C-level escort mission over there. You may have to participate in the mission for the first time as a chuunin captain!"
"But, I remember that ninjas from the Ministry of Defense don't need to go on missions, right?" Uchiha Itachi said tangledly after hearing Jiraiya's arrangements, "I just came back..."
"Don't worry, there are still about three months."
Jiraiya knocked his disciple on the head and said fiercely: "We have determined last month that ninjas from the Ministry of Defense have the right to perform other tasks during the holidays. The precious peace period is coming, and the number of tasks in the village has increased.
Already."
"The C-level mission feels weird..."
In the end, Uchiha Itachi could only agree with a grimace. A C-level escort mission sounded weird!
After all, he had just graduated and was led astray by Jiraiya. His first mission was the S-level mission of destroying Orochimaru's base.
"And one more thing."
Jiraiya patted his disciple on the shoulder and said softly: "Starting tomorrow, I will ask the chief executive to grant you a certain period of leave and report it to the old man. At that time, you can freely perform ordinary ninja tasks with other ninja teams.
.”
"Is this also for that C-level mission?"
"No…"
The white-haired old man glanced at the training ground they had used and gave a thumbs up: "You are responsible for compensating for the repair costs of the training ground!"
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
"After all, Tsunade is coming back! Whether it's a meal or a drink for her, it's a big expense!" Jiraiya knelt down and hugged his disciple's shoulders affectionately.
The nightlife in the village seemed quite rich. Jiraiya didn't care that his disciples were underage. After waving goodbye, they disappeared from sight.
After Itachi Uchiha brought Beihara home, he saw the little kid sitting next to Mikoto, sobbing and burping, with tears on his face...
"Sasuke, what happened?" Itachi's expression suddenly changed and he looked at his mother: "Where is dad?"
The moment the little boy saw his brother, he rushed towards him, tears fell again, and he cried aggrievedly for a while before raising his head: "Brother..."
The crow calmly lowered his head and looked at Sasuke. The little cub's face was dirty and he also had some scratches on his body.
Well, this is a fight.
Since you are crying, it means you have lost the fight.
"Fugaku-kun has an appointment with the Hyuga clan leader tonight..." Uchiha Mikoto rubbed her forehead, stood up and said, "Itachi, can you take care of Sasuke first? I'll help you and Kitahara prepare dinner."
After Mikoto left, Zai Zi's mood gradually calmed down.
The matter was not complicated. Uchiha Sasuke went out to play in the afternoon and gave a souvenir to Uzumaki Naruto. With Sasuke's temperament, it was impossible for the two children not to fight each other after they met. This has become the norm.
Sasuke had a certain foundation in taijutsu and was several months older than Uzumaki Naruto, so he naturally won the victory and pinned the yellow-haired boy to the ground. As a result, Hyuga Neji's brother and sister who were visiting Naruto showed up and stopped them.
Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke... would definitely not agree.
If it were Uchiha Itachi, as the elder brother, he would have continued to dissuade them softly, coaxing this and that, and in the end everyone appeared to be harmonious.
Hinata Neji doesn't care about that much!
His Hinata-sama was almost crying because of the two little guys!
The white-eyed genius had no choice but to use physical methods to break up the fight. The two little guys were beaten all over the floor by Neji. Naturally, they refused to admit defeat, but their bodies were honestly unable to fight anymore.
If that's all it is, that's fine.
It is estimated that the two children cursed each other for a while and then went back to their respective homes.
The problem is that Hyuga Neji thought for a while and actually took Hinata and handed Sasuke and Naruto to the Defense Department, because when his father Hizashi mentioned the Defense Department, he said that part of the responsibilities of the Defense Department ninjas was to fight against dangerous elements.
Moreover, Uchiha Sasuke's father also serves in the office together with Hizashi-sama.
This is really a cruel person!
Not only did he beat the person, but he also complained to the adults.
What Neji and Hinata did was very childish, but Hinata and Hinata were very happy in their hearts. On the other hand, Sasuke, as a child who also had high hopes for Fugaku, made him embarrassed in front of his friends...
Because Uzumaki Naruto was the orphan of his wife's best friend, Uchiha Fugaku comforted him for a while, scolded Sasuke in front of him, and sent someone to send Naruto home.
There must be something wrong with this approach.
It's normal for the little boy to feel so wronged...
Beiyuan couldn't help but opened his mouth and shouted happily: "Gah~"
In the afternoon, I saw that the old man named Jiraiya lost to his disciple in the assessment task. When I got home in the evening, I found out that the little boy had been beaten!
Uchiha Itachi's face darkened: "..."
But he could only continue to comfort Sasuke, who was still wiping away tears: "Let me give you medicine first... Teacher Jiraiya probably won't go see Naruto if he has something to do at night. I'll go give him medicine later."
Neither Jiraiya nor Kakashi, even if they knew about it, would not visit Naruto because of this trivial matter. The old man's parents had sacrificed when he was young, and Kakashi has been used to loneliness since he was a child.
life.
Only Itachi who was born into a happy family would realize that Naruto should also be looking forward to his family at this time.
"Nissan!"
The little boy stopped crying, his eyes were full of disbelief.
