Chapter 105: First meeting with Jiraiya (3rd update)

And that was the moment the spell had just been released.

A sudden feeling of dizziness came over Menma's mind. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Take steps forward subconsciously.

Stopped body shape.

Avoiding the embarrassing posture of a dog chewing mud, Menma shook his head slightly to clear his mind for a while, and then there was a wry smile on his face: "I'm still a bit reluctant today." . . ’

He raised his head and glanced at the setting sun.

Not only did I spend more time practicing today than in the previous days, but I also had twice as many shadow clones. This was also because yesterday’s practice seemed to have completely grasped the feeling, and Menma planned to Pursuing the victory, the extra amount of chakra consumed, and the fatigue caused by the multiplied feedback, even Menma almost couldn't bear it.

But it's still within control.

At this juncture, Menma would not allow himself to pass out due to excessive training.

I originally planned to spend a little more time consolidating it, but now it seems that enough is enough.

‘That’s it for today. ’

After Menma took a deep breath, he turned around, packed his bags, and headed back to the original location.

All the way down the road.

I happened to be passing by the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen.

Menma sensed two huge chakra auras approaching slowly from a location not far away.

One of the chakra auras was very familiar, it was Menma's cheap brother--Naruto.

As for the other chakra aura, although it is not as exaggerated as Naruto, from the perspective of an ordinary ninja, this is already a very terrifying chakra.

It is far beyond the jonins like Kakashi, Asuma, and Metkai, even Sarutobi Hiruzen can't compare, but Menma is still very unfamiliar.

‘Who could be the owner of this chakra? Could it be? ’

A look of confusion appeared on Menma's face, but just a second later, an idea flashed in Menma's mind, and another person's name appeared directly in his mind.

'It's Jiraiya! ? ’

And that is at the same time.

At that corner location.

Two figures, one large and one small, appeared in Menma's eyes.

Of course Naruto didn't mention it.

The one standing on the left is wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil", a red coat, and long white hair.

There is no doubt that the person coming is Jiraiya.

The moment Menma saw the two of them.

Jiraiya and Naruto also saw Menma.

"Oh, oh, Menma, what a coincidence, I can meet you here."

Naruto also immediately raised his right hand and waved it vigorously, shouting towards Menma with a smile on his face.

Jiraiya was also startled.

When he saw Menma's familiar long hair, his face seemed vaguely familiar.

An unnatural look of guilt flashed across Jiraiya's pupils quickly, but it only took a second before it was covered up by Jiraiya himself.

"Oh? Is this your first place in this class? Naruto?"

Jiraiya said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, Grandpa Jiraiya, this is the Uzumaki Menma-kun I mentioned to you before. He is the best in our class. Menma, this one is..."

Naruto seemed very proud. He first introduced Menma to Jiraiya, and then turned to look at Menma, wanting to introduce Jiraiya to Menma.

"I've met Jiraiya-sama."

Menma, however, took a step forward and bowed slightly, saluting with a hint of respect.

"Eh? Do you know Grandpa Jiraiya? Menma?"

Naruto was stunned subconsciously.

"Haha, Naruto, what are you talking about? As a ninja of Konoha, if you don't even know Jiraiya-sama, you are disqualified. You must know that Jiraiya-sama is our hero of Konoha. , is the disciple of the Third Generation Master, and also the Fourth Generation Master, that is, your father’s master.”

Menma seemed to really respect him, looking up at Jiraiya, still speaking with a hint of 'respect'.

"Oh? Yes!"

Naruto nodded and said as if he had just come to his senses.

Jiraiya on the side looked very proud and patted Naruto's little head and said: "Look at Menma, you need to study more, Naruto, you are still far behind."

"I know, grandpa Jiraiya, as I said just now, Menma is the best in our class. I will definitely study hard with Menma."

Naruto also patted his chest and said.

"Haha, that's fine. Your name is Menma, right? The young man is very discerning, very nice. You haven't had dinner yet, right? How about it? Do you want to come together?"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a smile, and turned to look at Menma in the second half of the sentence, saying with a cheerful look.

"It is an honor for me to be invited by Lord Jiraiya."

Menma said still with a hint of respect.

"Haha, what's the honor? It's just a casual meal. You don't have to be so formal. Since you and Naruto are on the same team, you can also call me Grandpa Jiraiya. No need to call me anything. Adults and the like, it seems too raw.”

Jiraiya said with a smile and waved his hand.

"No, that would be rude."

Menma said quickly, still looking polite.

This obviously fits the look of an ordinary Konoha ninja when he sees Jiraiya.

But just don't know why.

at that moment.

Jiraiya had a feeling that the child in front of him was deliberately trying to distance himself from him?

But only for a second.

Jiraiya shook his head to dispel this nonsensical thought.

Menma in front of him looked so polite and respectful, so how could he have such thoughts?

This is a 12-year-old kid, isn't it?

"Hey, don't worry about such details, let's go."
