Chapter 29 On the Road

Looking at Jiraiya, Okamoto Dousuke slowly took out his wallet from his backpack.

Just as I was about to count the money, whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, the wallet was in Jiraiya's hand. "Hey, why are you so hesitant? It's not like Konoha's character at all."

"Ninjutsu, psychic art"

砰

A toad the size of a baby appeared in its place.

"Lord Jiraiya, what do you want me to do?" It seems that Jiraiya has a relatively high status in Myoboku Mountain.

"Gamayi, take this money to pay the bill, and return the bowl as well." Jiraiya placed the bowl of ramen that Okamoto Dousuke had finished eating on Gamayi's head.

Then he took out some money from Okamoto Dousuke's bulging wallet and put it in the bowl.

砰

The toad that came out of the spirit world disappeared.

"The next training will be very difficult. In order to prevent you from being afraid of hardship and fatigue, I will keep your wallet for the time being." After saying that, Okamoto Dousuke watched his wallet being put into his ninja tool bag by Jiraiya.

"But, Master Jiraiya..."

"Hey, you are Tsunade's disciple, which means you are my, Jiraiya's disciple. Why call me sir? Just call me teacher." Okamoto Dousuke was interrupted by Jiraiya before he could finish his words.

"Let's go, kid." Jiraiya interrupted Okamoto Dousuke and walked straight out of the village.

"Hey" Looking at Jiraiya walking away, Okamoto Dousuke no longer had any hope for his wallet. He picked up his backpack and followed him dejectedly.

"Teacher Jiraiya, where are we going?" Okamoto Dousuke asked Jiraiya who was a few steps ahead of him.

"Well, of course I'll take you to learn Flying Thunder God."

"This is the first time Tsunade has asked me for a favor like this! She really values ​​you. Zusuke!" Jiraiya put his hands on his hips.

"I will try my best and will not let Teacher Tsunade and you down," Okamoto Dousuke nodded heavily.

"Let's get started then. Good luck on the rest of the journey, kid."

唰

Jiraiya jumped onto the tree trunk and called out, "Follow us, we are leaving."

"Okay, Teacher Jiraiya." Okamoto Dousuke followed Jiraiya's steps. The two of them quickly rushed forward together.

Jiraiya turned his head from time to time and looked at Okamoto Dousuke who was following closely beside him.

Different from the way other people traveled, Dousuke Okamoto would always tap the tree trunks with his toes, and the water would instantly move forward.

It allows him to save as much chakra as possible when he is on the road.

As a Genin who had just graduated, Jiraiya was quite satisfied that he could keep up with his speed.

And looking at Okamoto Dousuke's relaxed appearance, it seems that there are not too many surprises during the long distance journey.

After confirming that Okamoto Dousuke could keep up with his speed, Jiraiya began to gradually increase his speed.

The sun above my head slowly sets.

Seeing that it was getting darker, Jiraiya stopped. "Let's take a rest first."

"Okay, Jiraiya-sensei." Panting, Okamoto Dousuke wiped the sweat from his forehead. His chakra was almost drained out along the way.

He had to pay attention to his chakra and maintain speed along the way, so he needed to always pay attention to the speed of his chakra refinement and output.

Jiraiya looked at Okamoto Dousuke who was sitting nearby to rest, and lit a bonfire.

"You take a rest first, I'll go get something to eat." After saying that, Jiraiya disappeared in an instant.

After a while, Jiraiya returned to the campfire with a few fish and handed him a glass of water.

"Come and sit down." Jiraiya called out from where he was sitting by the fire.

After drinking two sips of water, Dousuke Okamoto, who had just rested for a while, walked over and put the backpack under his butt to make himself more comfortable.

He took the fish from Jiraiya, which he got from somewhere.

A sharp chakra scalpel appeared at the fingertips and slashed across the fish body at an extremely fast speed, instantly removing the fish's internal organs and scales.

Grabbing the water cup with his other hand, Chakra drew the water out of the cup to form a water ball that wrapped around the fish body, cleaning the entire fish thoroughly without damaging the fish meat.

"This kid's chakra control ability is really strong. No wonder Tsunade cares so much about him." Looking at Okamoto Dousuke's precise water style of washing fish, Jiraiya was filled with admiration.

"Boy, you have to remember that in a battle, how to preserve your chakra is the key to survival." Looking at Okamoto Dousuke putting the fish on the grill, Jiraiya taught him the knowledge he gained from the battlefield.

"I know, Jiraiya-sensei. I just feel like I don't have enough chakra."

"Don't worry, you're still young. As you get older, your chakra will naturally increase."

"The chakra of Genin, Chunin, and Jonin is not fixed. It is different for each person. What you need to do is to find your own balance between output and extraction so that you can grasp the rhythm of the battle as much as possible."

"Okay, Teacher Jiraiya, the fish is grilled, please try it." Okamoto Dousuke handed a grilled fish to Jiraiya.

"Well, boy, your grilled fish is really good." Jiraiya's eyes lit up at the soft and glutinous fish meat and the unique smell of firewood.

Although he only added the most basic salt and seasonings to the grilled fish, the cooking skills that Okamoto Dousuke had mastered from years of living alone still made Jiraiya, a rough man, eyes light up.

He ate the fish in big mouthfuls and threw the fish bones on the ground. Jiraiya was shocked by the simple grilled fish.

"Except for the main bone, all the other small bones of this fish have been removed!!" Looking at Okamoto Dousuke who was still grilling the fish.

His eyes swept towards the place where Okamoto Dousuke had just washed the fish.

All I saw was a bunch of small white thorns, buried under the discarded entrails and fish scales.

"Did this kid use water jutsu to remove all the fish bones while washing the fish? His chakra control is too abnormal."

"Teacher Jiraiya, do you want to eat more?" Okamoto Dousuke handed him a freshly grilled fish.

"You eat it, I'm full." Looking at himself, Dosuke Okamoto bit the fish body.

"With this abnormal chakra control ability, this kid might really be a monster when he grows up."

"Clean up the bonfire and garbage after you finish eating." After saying that, Jiraiya jumped onto the tree trunk.

"Got it. Jiraiya-sensei."

After a while, Okamoto Dousuke finished his meal and looked at the campfire and the leftovers.

Okamoto Dousuke had his hands wrapped in a thin layer of chakra, and he was ready to dig a hole.

Looking at Okamoto Dousuke who was about to set a trap, Jiraiya smiled. Although this kid's chakra control was abnormal, everything else was average.

He jumped down and stopped Okamoto Dousuke.

With his hands on the ground, the bonfire that had just been lit formed a small swamp, which slowly swallowed up the fire and garbage, and then hardened to form a new piece of land.

"Mastering other types of jutsu is also a compulsory course for a ninja." Jiraiya said to Okamoto Dousuke.

"Well, because my only attribute is water, I haven't yet mastered the escape techniques of other attributes." Okamoto Dousuke explained.

"It doesn't matter. The mastery of non-native attributes is usually learned by jonin with a certain amount of chakra support."

"It's a bit far for you as a Genin, but I feel you can learn it. After you learn Flying Thunder God, try to master it." Jiraiya grinned.
