Hearing Jiraiya's words, Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Jiraiya was clearly still infatuated with Tsunade. No, it was more like he openly liked her, he had even confessed, but Tsunade wasn't interested!
"Understood, Jiraiya-sama!"
On the surface, Kakashi responded respectfully to Jiraiya.
"Good, I'll go speak to the Third Hokage for you now! Wait for my news!"
Jiraiya, upon hearing this, immediately nodded excitedly, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and quickly vanished. He was in a rush, obviously excited that Kakashi could help him deliver a message to Tsunade!
"Kakashi, this is your first time undertaking a mission outside the village on your own. Although it's not a combat mission, still, be careful."
Seeing Jiraiya head towards the Third Hokage in such a hurry, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Then, he spoke to Kakashi with concern.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Feeling Minato Namikaze's concern, Kakashi immediately responded. He held a deep respect for his teacher, Minato Namikaze, regardless of whether it was from his original memories or his modern ones!
He admired Minato Namikaze's strength and spirit!
"Kakashi's going on a mission outside the village alone, huh? How about this, your teacher's wife will give you a gift. I haven't given you one for becoming a Jonin yet!"
At this moment, Kushina, who was standing beside them, spoke to Kakashi with a smile!
As she spoke, Kushina immediately pulled out a scroll from her chest!
"Kushina!"
Seeing what Kushina had taken out, Minato Namikaze's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected Kushina to bring out this particular item, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
Hearing his teacher Minato Namikaze's surprise, Kakashi's heart skipped a beat. He immediately looked curiously at the scroll in his teacher's wife Kushina's hand. If it could surprise Minato Namikaze, it definitely wasn't simple!
"It's alright, Kakashi is your student, Minato. He can learn our Uzumaki Clan's Ninjutsu!"
Seeing Minato Namikaze's surprise, Kushina turned to him and smiled, explaining.
Kakashi was immediately startled, looking at the scroll in Kushina's hand. His heart couldn't help but tremble. He hadn't expected that the gift Kushina would give him was actually Uzumaki Clan Ninjutsu!
The Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu and Barrier Ninjutsu were renowned throughout the entire ninja world!
The Dead Demon Consuming Seal, a Sealing Jutsu powerful enough to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox, originated from the Uzumaki Clan!
"Aunt Kushina, if this is Uzumaki Clan Ninjutsu, I can't accept it!"
Although he wanted the scroll in Kushina's hand, Kakashi refused on the surface!
This way, he could leave a good impression. If someone offered something and he immediately grabbed it, it would only diminish his image in front of others!
"It's okay, if your teacher can learn it, you definitely can too! Besides, this is just the most basic first volume of the Uzumaki Clan's techniques, just some fundamental Sealing Jutsu!"
Kushina smiled sweetly at Kakashi's words and said,
Minato, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this. She made it sound so casual. Back then, when he wanted to learn the so-called basic Sealing Jutsu from Kushina, he was 'tortured' quite a bit. Seeing Kakashi get the scroll so easily from Kushina, it was impossible for him not to feel a little jealous!
"Right, Minato?"
As if sensing Minato's thoughts, Kushina immediately turned to him with a smile, but her eyes held a certain threatening glint!
"Yes, yes! That's right, Kakashi, take it. This is from your… step-mother!"
Seeing Kushina's beautiful smile, Minato's mind immediately tensed up. He quickly agreed and said to Kakashi!
"Okay!"
Kakashi responded with a soft "Yes," and reached out to take the scroll Kushina offered.
Whoosh!
Just as Kakashi stowed the scroll away, Jiraiya returned.
"Haha! Done deal! Kid Kakashi, the Third Hokage knows about your situation. He's agreed to let you go search for Tsunade. But you only have a month. If you can't find Tsunade within a month, you have to come back!"
Jiraiya clapped Kakashi on the shoulder, laughing as he spoke.
Jiraiya's eyes were filled with mirth, as if he had something else to be pleased about.
"Yes! Thank you, Jiraiya-sama!"
"Jiraiya-sama! What's that in your hand?"
Kakashi then noticed that Jiraiya was holding several books. A thought flickered in his mind, and he quickly asked, "What are those?"
"Haha, you've got a sharp eye, Kakashi! These are my latest books, fresh off the press! The publisher finally got them out, and these are the first copies they sent to me here in Konoha!"
Hearing Kakashi's question, Jiraiya's expression brightened with excitement. He laughed heartily. Minato and Kushina also looked curiously at the books in Jiraiya's hands, wondering what kind of book he had written this time.
"Jiraiya-sensei, let me see them!" Kushina immediately said to Jiraiya, reaching out to grab a book.
Jiraiya didn't dodge and let Kushina take one.
As Kushina picked up the book, Kakashi clearly saw the title on the cover.
"Er..."
"Icha Icha Paradise…"
Even though Kakashi had a feeling about it, he was still shocked to see Icha Icha Paradise. What was even more shocking was that Jiraiya showed it to Kushina, clearly having gotten carried away by his excitement!
He'd forgotten that the book he'd written was unsuitable for children!
"Come on, Minato and Kakashi, you guys take a look too! I put a lot of effort into this book!"
Apparently oblivious to the problem, Jiraiya handed a copy to Minato and Kakashi.
Kakashi, who had long been curious about the contents of Jiraiya's Icha Icha Paradise, immediately took the book and started reading, not caring about anything else!
