Chapter 18 Orochimaru’s Purpose

Jiraiya's body trembled, his eyes gradually lost their luster and fell back.

The long silver hair that entangled Namikaze Minato and Kushina also disappeared.

"Peng"

Jiraiya's figure turned into smoke.

This is actually a shadow clone.

Jin sighed helplessly, he had no ability to fight anymore.

Fortunately.

The bell did not disappear with Jiraiya, but fell.

Kushina's chain was quickly wrapped around her and held in her hand.

Jiraiya walked out of the woods carrying a box.

"It's really not easy, you guys."

The one who appeared among the three people from the beginning was a shadow clone, but even a simple shadow clone would not be able to fight against the general genin team.

Only a Chuunin team can destroy one of his shadow clones.

"Jiraiya-sensei, we won." Kushina waved the bell in her hand happily.

The bell shook and made a "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound.

Jiraiya smiled.

This damn girl finally knows how to address him properly.

"Let's eat first."

Jiraiya patted the box in his hand.

"This is my love bento~"

Kushina looked disgusted, but her hungry stomach did not allow her to be picky, so she followed Namikaze Minato to Jiraiya.

Jin also walked over with a weak look on his face.

The spirit pill consumes a lot of chakra. Although the power deduced by Golden Finger is not weak, it is still too reluctant for him now.

This time, a large amount of chakra was lost from his body, which put a heavy strain on his physical strength.

"Come on, let's eat."

A box contains sumptuous meals, and a bowl of steaming meals for each person.

All three people started to cook.

The meals began to decline at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Jiraiya raised his chopsticks and looked at the quickly emptied dishes, lost in thought.

Seeing the looks from the three people, his embarrassed smile quickly turned serious.

"So you decide who will return to Ninja School?"

Namikaze Minato and Kushina looked at each other.

However, Jin lay down in the presence of the old god. This kind of test meant nothing to him.

"Me! I want to go back to ninja school and study for another ten years."

If you can call it the nail in the door of Ninja School.

He was quite happy.

It's better than being sent to the battlefield.

As for fighting to protect the village.

I'm sorry, but he, Uchiha Jin, is a caught fish in the Will of Fire.

It's a pity that this is just an extravagant hope, as the three of them have the current strength.

The village will definitely not let go easily.

Namikaze Minato raised his hand.

"I'd better give up."

"After all, I feel like my role is not that big."

Although there was still a smile on his face, he couldn't hide the bitterness inside.

Compared with Uchiha Jin's head-on combat ability and Kushina's Uzumaki clan's secret technique, Namikaze Minato felt like he was really insignificant.

"I'd better give up."

Kushina's face was dark.

"I don't think the village will let me do any tasks."

As a Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails and an outsider who considers himself not to belong to the village, he naturally understands his situation.

Among the three, only Uchiha Jin was sincere.

He didn't bother to say anything, just looked at the sky.

The sky is so blue and the white clouds are so white.

"Hahaha." Jiraiya laughed, looking at the three people with satisfied looks on their faces.

"You all passed."

"Because you will be teammates who rely on each other in the future. If you don't even trust your teammates, it will cause great harm."

For him, what he wants to test is the bond between three people.

Kushina's face was full of confusion. She looked at Namikaze Minato whose smile turned sunny again and realized it later.

"So we all became ninjas."

As for Uchiha Jin, it’s okay not to look at it.

"That's right, from today on you are members of the seventh genin team and Jiraiya's team."

"Yeah!!" Kushina jumped happily.

Jiraiya looked at the third graders with a smile, they were just like the replacement of the seventh class.

The violent female Kushina like Tsunade, the steady Uchiha Jin like Orochimaru, and the handsome and gentle Namikaze Minato like Uncle Jiraiya.

Yes, he was someone like Namikaze Minato.

"As the leader of the team, Jiraiya-sensei, shouldn't he treat us to a big meal?"

Uchiha Jin suddenly sat up, with a narrow smile on his face.

Like a fox.

Looking at the expectant looks from both Namikaze Minato and Kushina.

Jiraiya patted his chest.

"No problem at all."

That's why I have a bad feeling in my heart.

And didn’t they just finish eating?

Konoha BBQ restaurant.

Jiraiya looked at the bill dragged to the ground in his hand, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Holding his wallet, he looked at the banknotes that were not enough despite counting them several times.

Jiraiya, who has not yet become a great writer, is not very wealthy now.

Although ninjas make money quickly, they spend a lot of money on ninjutsu, ninja tools and other things.

Looking up at the barbecue restaurant owner with a smile on his face, he hesitated and said, "Can I wash the dishes to pay off the debt?"

The owner of the barbecue restaurant widened his eyes. There was such a shameless ninja, and he was not as bold as the brat who kept rolling his eyes last time.

The boss took a small abacus and made two quick calculations.

He reluctantly reached an agreement with Jiraiya.

Jiraiya, who looked sad, had just walked out of the door when he heard Jin's loud talk.

"Those like us who always don't have enough to eat have to look for treats from the enemy."

Namikaze Minato had an embarrassed look on his face, but Kushina looked serious.

Jiraiya's face darkened, and he retracted his comments about Uchiha Jin.

Jin, who was teaching Kushina and Namikaze Minato the experience of finding enemies, looked up and saw Jiraiya with a black line on his face saying hello.

"Oh, it's not Jiraiya-sensei who is the most unjust."

You were definitely trying to get someone to take advantage of you just now! !

Jiraiya roared inwardly.

Now he understands that this guy is a trap! !

"Okay, okay, don't be angry."

Jin stepped forward and took out a small notebook and handed it to Jiraiya with a coaxing tone.

"This is?" Jiraiya looked at the content above.

"Basic internal strength."

"This is the secret why I didn't use ninjutsu before."

After all, everyone in the class should know the basics, and he was definitely not coveting Jiraiya's ninjutsu knowledge.

This got Jiraiya interested.

"Jiraiya."

A gloomy voice sounded, and Orochimaru appeared beside several people at some point.

Seeing Orochimaru Jiraiya's expression of surprise.

Isn’t this the savior! ?

"Hey, Orochimaru, why did you come here just now? Come on, lend me some money!"

Orochimaru tilted his head: "???"

He looked in his pockets but couldn't find his wallet.

"I didn't bring my wallet today."

Jiraiya: orz.

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a savior.

Orochimaru suddenly saw the small book in Jiraiya's hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Jiraiya, there is a real path there."

"Ah?" Jiraiya raised the notebook in his hand, looking confused.

Orochimaru had no intention of explaining.

"I took the person away."

Jin also waved to Namikaze Minato.

"See you tomorrow."

Wait until Uchiha Jin and Orochimaru leave.

Namikaze Minato looked at Jiraiya in confusion.

"Jiraiya-sensei, who is that?"

Jiraiya was looking disappointed.

"The elite Jonin Orochimaru is my teammate."

The sadness on his face turned into a sad smile, and he said to Namikaze Minato and Kushina: "I have something to do. You can go home. I will take you to take over the mission tomorrow."

After saying that, Jiraiya walked into the barbecue restaurant with a tragic face.

Today he will finish washing 10,000 dishes a day.

Namikaze Minato and Kushina looked at each other.

Jin followed Orochimaru further and further into the countryside.

And if he remembered correctly, this direction was the direction of the Forest of Death.

The place was blocked because there were too many ferocious beasts and ninja beasts, and those who were not ninjas were not allowed to enter.

Many people in the Uchiha family got their psychic beasts from there.

Although he was confused, Jin didn't say much.

Following Orochimaru into the forest of death, he finally walked into a laboratory-like place through a secret passage.

Orochimaru told Jin the structure here.

"This is where you will train from now on. The first floor is the training ground, the second floor is where the ninjutsu beasts are kept, the third floor is the ninjutsu collection room, you can watch it at will, and the fourth floor is my laboratory."

Jin also asked bluntly.

"Master Orochimaru is not just trying to train me."

Regardless of the differences between the past and the present, Jin would not really think that Orochimaru would be selfless for him.

He is not a rope tree with a profound background.

There must be a purpose.

"Kinjun, do you understand what the ninjutsu you created represents?" Orochimaru asked in return.

Jin frowned and fell into deep thought. His ninjutsu was just born out of a difference from normal ninja thinking.

What else could it mean?

Looking at Jin who was thinking, Orochimaru instead gave the answer first.

"It's a change, a change in the entire shinobi world."

Jin instantly jumped back and took out the kunai.

Change is something that is not just talked about casually, but comes from the mouths of others.

That in itself represents danger.

"hiss."

A snake cry came from beside Jin, and he turned around to see a flower snake wrapped around his body.

His whole body was in a stalemate, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

The difference is too obvious.

Orochimaru chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, Jinjun, I won't do anything to you. Instead, I will protect you. I just need you to continue to develop this so-called basic internal strength."

Through these days of research, Orochimaru clearly knows that although the basic internal skills are mysterious, the actual methods are very immature.

Because he cannot understand the thinking of the technique itself, he cannot change it without authorization. If he wants to understand it thoroughly, he can actually change it, but it will take a long time.

So why not let the creators develop it themselves?

"My current knowledge base does not allow me to continue research and development."

Jin, don’t you want to deduce it? Those were all rejected by Goldfinger! !

"So I will give you shelter and the key to growth. You just need to give me the results."

"In the meantime, you have to participate in my experiment."

"What experiment?"

"Experiments with Hashirama Cells."
