Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I don't need it."
"unnecessary?"
Jiraiya subconsciously looked at Kitazawa.
"I, Lady Tsunade, Shizune-senpai, and Mrs. Rina lived together."
Kitazawa said with a normal expression.
"And who is Lina?"
Jiraiya scratched his head and asked.
"Since you've been away from Konoha for a long time, you naturally don't know what's happening in Konoha."
Tsunade gave a soft snort, somewhat displeased.
Kitazawa blinked.
Actually, Tsunade and Jiraiya are quite similar.
If he hadn't suggested the role of a psychological medical ninja, she would have had to wait until Naruto Uzumaki came to find her after graduation before she could return to the village.
Of course, he dared not say these words aloud, lest he suffer the same fate as Jiraiya.
"Go ask the old man what you want to know."
Tsunade turned around and casually closed the door.
Jiraiya touched his nose, somewhat sullen.
He hesitated for two seconds, then, without disturbing Tsunade, greeted Kitazawa and went to the Hokage's office.
"Old man, looking at your crystal ball again? How about I borrow it for a couple of days?"
A sudden sound rang out from beside me.
Hiruzen Sarutobi instinctively covered the crystal ball in front of him, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he recognized the voice.
"The Hokage's office is still the same as always."
Jiraiya jumped out of the window and walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Can't you just use the door?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a stern face, "Just like Tsunade, you're always so disrespectful!"
"Next time definitely!"
Jiraiya looked completely indifferent.
"Forget it, you wouldn't listen anyway."
Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the crystal ball and asked, "Have you found your child of prophecy?"
"No."
Jiraiya shook his head and said.
Mount Myōboku, one of the three sacred sites for summoning beasts, is led by the Great Toad Sage, who possesses the ability to foresee the future.
According to its prophecy, among Jiraiya's students, there is one who possesses the ability to change the entire ninja world.
However, without proper guidance, this student could potentially destroy the ninja world.
This student is naturally the prophesied child.
Jiraiya, in order to guide him, had been searching for him throughout the ninja world.
"You've searched for so many years and still haven't found it. Perhaps the Child of Prophecy doesn't even exist."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, "Now that we're back in Konoha, let's not leave again."
“Sorry, old man, I must find the Child of Prophecy.”
Jiraiya paused for two seconds, then said with unwavering conviction, "The Child of Prophecy exists!"
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless.
Regardless of strength or status, Jiraiya was not much inferior to Tsunade.
If he had stayed in Konoha, many things might have turned out very differently.
For example, the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.
"I just went to see Tsunade."
Jiraiya changed the subject and asked, "Who is this Kitazawa? How did he become Tsunade's student?"
"See for yourself."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out Kitazawa's file and handed it to him.
Jiraiya took the documents and began to read them.
At first, he was calm, but the more time passed, the more astonished he became.
There was no way around it; Kitazawa's transformation was truly astonishing.
In less than a year, he went from an ordinary ninja academy teacher to an elite Jonin who was proficient in medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, and water ninjutsu.
Jiraiya felt a sense of déjà vu, because he had been in the same situation back then.
Among the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, he had the worst talent. It wasn't until he accidentally stumbled upon Mount Myōboku that his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
But what was Kitazawa's extraordinary encounter? Or was it simply a case of late bloomer?
"No wonder Tsunade came back to the village."
After seeing the psychological medical ninja system, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
In fact, he did not expect to run into Tsunade when he returned to the village.
After all, Tsunade, like him, wandered all over the ninja world.
He was quite surprised to hear that she was in Konoha Village, but he was kicked out before he could ask why.
"This psychological medical ninja system will probably benefit many ninjas."
Jiraiya's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had just thought of something, and he asked impatiently, "Could it also cure Tsunade's hemophobia?"
"Ah."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "I've already asked Kitazawa and the others to take care of it, but whether they'll succeed is hard to say."
"If we can successfully cure Tsunade's hemophobia, that would be wonderful!"
As Tsunade's teammate, Jiraiya was well aware of the origins of hemophobia and the pain it caused.
He wanted his hemophobia to be cured more than anyone else.
"Kitazawa is indeed qualified to be Tsunade's student."
Jiraiya put down Kitazawa's file and commented.
He didn't inquire about Kitazawa's extraordinary encounter, because there was no need.
Kitazawa is now Tsunade's student, a high-ranking official in Konoha, and the vice principal of the Ninja Academy.
He has enough power and status to keep his own secrets.
Besides, Kitazawa has already passed the tests of both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"Ah."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then said with satisfaction, "He is also an excellent ninja academy teacher."
"No matter how outstanding the ninja academy teachers are, they're still just so-so."
Jiraiya didn't seem to care.
It's not like he never went to school.
In his view, the level of the ninja academy teachers was generally average; teaching the Three Body Techniques was the limit.
"Take a look at this."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took out the information on the genius class and handed it to him.
"Gifted Class?"
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and quickly flipped through the document.
"How about it?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a chuckle.
"A very good reform."
Jiraiya had to admit, "If we had had a genius class back then, we might have been able to defeat Hanzo."
The legendary Sannin of Konoha made their name during the Second Shinobi World War, when the three of them fought against Hanzo of Amegakure.
But at that time, they were actually completely defeated.
Apart from them, all the other ninjas in Konoha Village died at Hanzo's hands.
Even the title of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha was bestowed upon them by Hanzo.
In a sense, the legendary Sannin of Konoha are a disgrace.
However, because the legend of the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha was so widespread, the three of them could only let it go.
Who is Lina?
Jiraiya asked again.
"Rina Uzumaki, a survivor of the Uzumaki clan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "Tsunade and Kitazawa brought it back from Kusagakure."
"There are even members of the Uzumaki clan here?"
Jiraiya looked completely surprised.
"I didn't expect that either."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said thankfully, "Luckily, Kitazawa discovered it in time."
"I've learned what I needed to know. I'm going to go see Naruto."
Jiraiya casually placed the information about the genius class on the Hokage's desk.
"You can watch, but don't do anything unnecessary."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his instructions.
When do you plan to tell Naruto the truth?
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya frowned and asked.
"He's still young, let's talk about it after he graduates."
Hiruzen Sarutobi replied.
"It's New Year's Eve tonight, aren't you planning to bring Naruto along?"
Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and asked.
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent upon hearing this.
"Tsunade is staying in the village now, what do you have to worry about?"
Jiraiya relentlessly questioned, "Old man, you were once a great ninja, why are you so hesitant now?"
"Bring Naruto to my house tonight."
Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a few seconds, but finally agreed.
"That's more like it."
Jiraiya waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. See you tonight."
"Looks like I really am getting old."
