After learning about Minato's no-hand-sign ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no intention of learning it.
He only wanted to confirm his guess and satisfy his curiosity. It was indeed a no-hand-sign ninjutsu.
Jiraiya and Minato walked out of the Hokage's office. As they walked, Minato explained the principle of the Rasengan to Jiraiya, and also the three steps to practice it.
Hearing this, Jiraiya was overjoyed and quickly went to buy balloons.
Minato, on the other hand, went to the Ninja Academy. After Minato graduated, the bored Kushina started attending classes.
The moment Kushina saw Minato, she immediately skipped class, ignoring the twitching face of the teacher.
"Aren't you supposed to be on a mission today? Why are you at the academy?" Kushina asked in surprise.
"I've accepted a B-rank mission and have two hours to prepare. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the village for a few days, so I came to see you before I leave," Minato said, hugging Kushina.
"Wow, my Minato is amazing! He's taking on a B-rank mission right after graduating!" Kushina said proudly. She had heard that newly graduated Genin only performed D-rank and C-rank missions.
"If you're bored at the academy, try to communicate more with the Nine-Tails. That fox is a tsundere fox. You can try to chat with it whenever you have time, regardless of whether it responds or not. Just keep talking to it."
Minato proposed a less-than-ideal solution. First, let Kushina build a good relationship with the Nine-Tails.
Perhaps with Kushina's persistent talk-no-jutsu, she could change the tsundere fox's attitude.
As the mother of the king of talk-no-jutsu, he hoped Kushina's talk-no-jutsu would have at least half of its power.
"Will it really work? Can the Nine-Tails and I become friends?" Kushina was skeptical of Minato's suggestion, but because it was Minato's idea, she would try it even if it didn't work.
"I don't know either, but let's give it a try. It won't hurt anyway," Minato scratched his head, a little uncertain, but he hoped Kushina would try.
Kushina nodded and leaned against Minato, enjoying their time together. The next time they would meet would be in a few days. This was a bit hard for Kushina. They had been together every day for a year and had never been separated.
To be separated for several days at once, it would truly be like a day feeling like a year.
Time always passed quickly. It didn't feel like they had been together for long, but two hours had passed. Minato had to leave Kushina and go to the Konoha gate to assemble.
"Eh? Minato, you haven't prepared at all?" When Jiraiya saw Minato, he found that he didn't have any bladed tools on him, not even a tool pouch.
"For me, bladed tools are useless. There's nothing a ninjutsu can't solve. If there is, then a hundred more," Minato said nonchalantly, as if he could casually throw out a hundred ninjutsu.
Hearing this, Jiraiya and the other two rolled their eyes. How arrogant. A hundred ninjutsu? You need to have the chakra to throw them out.
Minato coughed awkwardly. He had boasted a bit too much. Although his chakra had greatly increased, a hundred ninjutsu was a bit difficult. Of course, he meant high-level ninjutsu. A hundred low-level ones were possible.
"Let's go. Those bandits are not close to here. It will take a lot of time to travel," Jiraiya interrupted Minato's boasting and urged him to get on the road quickly.
Along the way, Minato constantly looked around. The greening in this world was really well done. There were trees everywhere.
But this was the Land of Fire. The Land of Wind was full of yellow sand, and the Land of Earth was full of rocks. They couldn't compare to the Land of Fire at all.
But for the Land of Fire to have so many trees today, it was probably inseparable from the efforts of the First Hokage, who planted trees everywhere.
Mikoto Uchiha and Hayate Gekko were not as curious as Minato. They had also done many missions and had seen the world outside the village early on.
The group of four traveled for two days before reaching the location on the mission scroll. But now, those bandits were definitely hiding somewhere, and they needed to find them slowly.
After finding a nearby cave, Jiraiya began to assign tasks.
"Now we will split into two groups to search for traces of those ninjas. The time limit is two hours. Whether you find them or not, you must return to the cave to report your findings."
In the cave, Jiraiya began to assign tasks. Considering their strength, he paired Mikoto Uchiha with Minato, while he took Hayate Gekko.
"Let's set out now. Remember the time," Jiraiya said, then gave Minato a look. Minato nodded imperceptibly, then glanced at a certain place.
Jiraiya looked over and saw a Flying Thunder God formula there.
Seeing that formula, Jiraiya nodded in relief. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he didn't have to worry about Minato's safety.
Then the four of them split up, one group heading east and the other west, to search for those bandits.
