Chapter 551 Evaluation of Jiraiya

Before Senju Tobirama could speak, Hashirama snatched the microphone away.

"Tsunade is getting married, what are you talking about as an uncle!"

Tobirama said, "What did I say!"

Hashirama rolled his eyes at Tobirama and handed the microphone to Kakashi.

Kakashi took the microphone and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's give a round of applause to send off the first and second generations!"

Tobirama hummed, indicating that he wanted to say more, but Hashirama came from behind and pushed Tobirama forward, meaning: Get out of here!

After the two adults left, Kakashi raised the microphone again and said, "Okay, everyone knows what Tsunade's family thinks of her. Now, let's invite a few people to the stage and talk about their evaluation of Jiraiya-sama. First, please welcome Lord Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru was suddenly called, a little confused, next to him, Kabuto clapped his hands and said, "Lord Orochimaru, go up!"

Suigetsu, Karin, and Jūgo were all sitting at this table.

Orochimaru sighed, walked up to the podium, took the microphone from Kakashi, and looked at the audience, his eyes revealing a hint of contemplation and emotion.

He cleared his throat and began to recount his experiences with Jiraiya.

"Everyone in Konoha, today I am standing here to tell you about a very special person to me, he is Jiraiya. Jiraiya is my fellow apprentice, my friend, and an important person in my life! He taught me a lot of things, not only ninjutsu, but also many strange things, such as peeking at women taking a bath!"

When Orochimaru said this, many people who were drinking water in the audience spit out the water.

Everyone laughed, a heartfelt laugh.

On the stage, Jiraiya felt like he had lost all desire to live.

Inwardly complaining: Orochimaru, please don’t mess with me!

Tsunade tilted her head and looked at Jiraiya angrily.

On this side, Orochimaru held the microphone, smiled, and continued to recall the first time Jiraiya met him.

"When I first met Jiraiya, I was still a child. He was a young and handsome ninja with long blond hair and was very charming. He was a ninja from Konoha Village and the apprentice of the Third Hokage. I envied his abilities and status very much, so I studied and trained hard, hoping to become an excellent ninja like him."

Beside him, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, then tilted his head to look at Orochimaru who was speaking.

Do you worship me?

Think I'm excellent?

Brother, you feel guilty after insulting me, so now you are praising me, right?

Here, Orochimaru continued: "I studied and practiced ninjutsu with Jiraiya, and gradually, we became very good friends. As time passed, I gradually discovered some of Jiraiya's shortcomings."

When Jiraiya heard Orochimaru talking about his shortcomings, he felt a pang in his heart.

As expected, Orochimaru said: "He likes drinking very much, and often does some ridiculous things when he is drunk. Moreover, he also likes women very much. He often chats up some beautiful women and likes to peek at others taking a bath, calling it art!

At the time, I thought Jiraiya was very boring and that his actions were extremely unreliable and did not meet the standards of an excellent ninja.

Later, I began to feel dissatisfied with some of Jiraiya's behavior.

I think he was too relaxed and self-indulgent and had no respect for the traditions and discipline of ninja.

I also started to get dissatisfied with some of his jutsu and fighting techniques, and I think some of his methods are outdated and need to be improved and updated.

But Jiraiya doesn't think so, and will still ask me to help him, for example, designing various scenes of heroes saving beauties to win Tsunade's heart!

I failed every time and finally I couldn’t take it anymore!

Don’t help him!”

When Orochimaru said this, Jiraiya's face on the stage had turned dark.

In the audience, everyone kept laughing, with a look of delighted delight on their faces.

In this era, Jiraiya is a legend, a senior, and a person of very high status to the ninjas below the stage. If the first, second, third, etc. generations have not been resurrected, Jiraiya's seniority will be the highest in Konoha.

Now, these younger generations are listening to Orochimaru talking about Jiraiya's gossip, they are so happy!

Orochimaru looked at everyone laughing and continued, "Later, because of some things, I had a deeper understanding of ninjas, so I started my own path and separated from Jiraiya. It was because of this that Jiraiya and I became enemies again!"

"After many twists and turns, it was Naruto's arrival that changed my view of the ninja world and made me find another level of happiness. Then, I rethought my past and found that I had always had a close friend like Jiraiya during my growth!"

At this point, Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, although Jiraiya is very lustful and likes to peek at girls taking a bath, he has only liked you since he was a child. He keeps this feeling in his heart, it's too deep! So, I fully believe that Jiraiya will treat you well for the rest of his life. I wish you all the best and hope you will grow old together!"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru and nodded.

Orochimaru said, handing the microphone to Kakashi.

Kakashi smiled and said, "Well, well, let's thank Lord Orochimaru for his speech. Thank you!"

Kakashi continued to look at the crowd and said, "Now that my dear friend has finished speaking, let's invite some of Jiraiya-sama's disciples to talk about their evaluation of Jiraiya-sama. First, let's invite the Fourth Hokage!"

Minato stood up, walked onto the stage, and took the microphone from Kakashi.

"Um, hello everyone, I am the fourth generation, Minato Namikaze!"

"Sensei Jiraiya is a very powerful ninja. He taught me a lot of ninjutsu and fighting techniques."

"I remember that Jiraiya-sensei paid great attention to basic training. When I first became Jiraiya-sensei's apprentice, he asked me to start learning the most basic ninjutsu, such as climbing trees, running, diving, etc.

He believed that these basic trainings could improve Minato Namikaze's physical fitness and endurance, and lay a solid foundation for future advanced ninjutsu learning.

Teacher Jiraiya also taught me how to use various weapons and tools, such as kunai, shuriken, etc. He told me that these weapons and tools are important equipment for ninjas and can play an important role in battle.

In addition to ninjutsu and fighting skills, Jiraiya also taught me a lot of other things about ninjas, such as tactics, strategy, intelligence gathering, etc. He told me that an excellent ninja must not only have strong strength, but also have a smart mind and keen insight.

It was because of Jiraiya's teachings that my ninjutsu skills were very good when I was young, far surpassing my peers. This is how I was able to save Kushina from the hands of Kumogakure and gain her favor!"

After Minato finished speaking, the Raikage in the audience felt a little embarrassed. He awkwardly picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

Back then, it was them, the Kumogakure, who kidnapped Kukona.

Although at that time, the Raikage was a teenager like Minato, but it was the Cloud Village who did it after all. Now that he is the Raikage, isn't it awkward for him to come to the wedding banquet?

Minato also noticed this, and smiled at the Raikage and said, "Ai, don't mind, this is all in the past, I'm just telling you a story!"

Raikage Ai raised his hand and smiled.

Minato held up the microphone and continued, "Teacher Jiraiya's own ninjutsu is also very powerful. He possesses powerful fire escape, earth escape, water escape and other ninjutsu. I have witnessed Teacher Jiraiya using these ninjutsu with my own eyes, and I was deeply shocked by Jiraiya's strength!"

The people in the audience nodded one after another. There was no need to say much about Jiraiya's strength, otherwise he would not have been able to become one of the Three Ninjas.

Minato smiled and said, "Teacher Jiraiya is also very talented. The jutsu I developed, the Rasengan, is very difficult and took a long time to develop. But Teacher Jiraiya only took a glance at it, and then a day later, he demonstrated this jutsu in front of me. I was shocked for a few seconds, and then I left!"

Teacher Jiraiya was very surprised at the time, why was I only shocked for a few seconds! "

Minato took the microphone, smiled and looked at Jiraiya and said, "Because I think that with Jiraiya's talent, it is very normal for him to learn this ninjutsu in one day!"

Jiraiya laughed.

So cool.

Finally someone came to praise him. As expected, his most proud disciple was still Minato. Even Naruto was not as satisfied with Minato as he was. Minato's talent was too high, his combat awareness was full, and his emotional intelligence was also full!
