Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Jiraiya's Return

After warning Shimura Danzo, Tsunade left with Minato and the others, leaving behind a pale-faced Shimura Danzo.

In the entire village of Konoha, probably only Tsunade dared to warn a member of the Elder Council so brazenly. She had no choice; her background was too powerful. Shimura Danzo really didn't dare to openly make things difficult for Tsunade.

After the funeral, Tsunade stayed in Konoha for a few more days before leaving. She was needed on the front lines. Her presence could prevent the unnecessary deaths of Konoha's people.

Minato and Kushina also returned to their lives before Mito's death, training, attending school, and going on dates together every day.

It's worth mentioning that during the few days Tsunade was in Konoha, Minato accompanied her to the casino once and won a lot of money. Otherwise, Minato's funds would have likely hit rock bottom. How would he have had the money to pay for all of Kushina's various expenses?

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. The time for his appointment with Jiraiya had arrived, and Minato felt that Jiraiya should be back soon.

For half a year, Minato's sparring partners had remained at the elite Chunin level. It was necessary to keep some trump cards hidden. His overall strength level had risen to that of a special Jonin.

His various development levels had also improved, especially his space and sealing development, which had grown the most.

For some reason, the random development rewards from his challenges over the past half year had been mostly for space and sealing, with others being relatively few. However, the development of his three elemental releases was close to 80%. He estimated that with one or two more random development rewards, he would get a new reward.

On the day Jiraiya was supposed to arrive, in the Hokage's office.

"You're back. It's for Minato, isn't it?" Facing the travel-worn Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi said with certainty.

"Yes. After all, I made a promise to Minato. As his teacher, I haven't taught him much. I have to be there for his graduation. Besides, the front lines aren't particularly tense right now."

Jiraiya nodded. He had indeed returned for Minato.

"I know about your agreement. So, I've also found two teammates for him. Their skills are quite good. You can have him apply for early graduation now."

Jiraiya smiled and handed two ninja files to Jiraiya.

"Oh ho! This kid is quite lucky with the ladies. He has a female teammate, and her skills are good. But one of them is from the Uchiha clan. Will that cause trouble for Minato?"

After receiving the files from Hiruzen, Jiraiya was slightly stunned and pointed to one of the files.

"Don't worry. This member of the Uchiha clan is different from the others. She has a gentle and generous personality and won't bring trouble to Minato. I personally selected her."

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knew what Jiraiya meant and explained briefly.

Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction, trusting the old man's words.

"I'll go find that brat and have him graduate quickly. My vacation time isn't long. As for those two, you'll be responsible for notifying them. Let's say, the day after Minato's graduation," Jiraiya said, shaking the files in his hand.

"No problem. I'll arrange for Minato's graduation exam to be held at the Ninja Academy this time. Let everyone in Konoha know that a new star is rising in Konoha."

Before Jiraiya left, Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded him.

Jiraiya agreed with this. With Minato's current strength, there was no need to hide it anymore. With him watching over him, he wouldn't be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

Besides, Minato had the Flying Thunder God Technique. Trying to take his life would probably be harder than climbing to the heavens.

No matter how many people were sent, he could just disappear without a trace with a single Flying Thunder God Technique. Where would they even find him?

When Jiraiya found Minato, he discovered that he was training with Kushina.

Several shadow clones were practicing various ninjutsu, genjutsu, space-time ninjutsu, and sealing jutsu, while his main body was sparring with Kushina.

After half a year of training, Kushina, with her naturally immense chakra, had mastered the Adamantine Sealing Chains. Now, she only lacked proficiency.

This sealing jutsu could not only restrain people but also be used for attack. It was truly powerful. As long as Kushina mastered this technique, she could handle various situations.

Of course, as her older sister, Tsunade had also taught Kushina her monstrous strength. With such a large amount of chakra, it would be a waste not to use it.

As for Minato, he had taught the Rasengan he had developed to Kushina, as she also had wind-attribute chakra.

This way, the husband and wife were both practicing the Rasengan.

But as the signature move that ran through the entire story, Minato felt it was necessary to learn it.

In the future, after learning Sage Mode, the Rasengan Shuriken could be thrown like a shuriken, which was also a super powerful killing move.

From now on, the Rasengan combo would be the Namikaze family's patent.

Under Minato's careful guidance, Kushina took a full five months to be able to release the Rasengan with one hand.

There was no other way. The Nine-Tails' chakra was constantly interfering. The newly re-sealed Nine-Tails was full of resentment.
