Chapter 149 Jiraiya was actually rejected.
Naruto watched Jiraiya's performance with an embarrassed expression, then frowned and asked, "Was that toad yours just now?"
Why are you attacking me?
When Naruto asked him this, Jiraiya didn't know how to answer.
Everything was completely different from what he had expected.
With such a stunning entrance, how come Naruto wasn't impressed?
Jiraiya, standing on the toad's head, also felt somewhat embarrassed.
However, he had encountered this kind of thing many times before, so Jiraiya regained his composure and looked at Naruto as he announced his name.
"You brat, how dare you speak so rudely to this toad sage!"
Do you know who this immortal is?
Naruto looked at Jiraiya calmly.
This put Jiraiya in a very awkward position.
He forced himself to say, "This toad sage is none other than Jiraiya, one of the Three Legendary Sannin."
As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, Naruto, who had been calm, suddenly stared at Jiraiya with wide eyes.
"Who do you say you are?"
Seeing Naruto's murderous gaze, Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine and stammered, "Lord Jiraiya?"
"Don't you recognize him?"
Jiraiya still thought Naruto didn't recognize him.
Naruto, however, took a few steps toward the toad, looked at Jiraiya, and shouted, "You're Jiraiya of the Sannin?"
When Jiraiya saw that Naruto recognized him, he laughed heartily, "Of course I do! How about that, aren't you shocked?"
Naruto ignored Jiraiya's words and looked at him expectantly, "Is it Jiraiya, who is known as one of the Legendary Sannin along with Orochimaru and Tsunade?"
Jiraiya found Naruto's excitement rather strange, but he still admitted, "Yeah, how about it, aren't you surprised?"
Naruto ignored Jiraiya again and said to himself, "So the village is saved. You can definitely beat Orochimaru, right?"
Naruto looked up at Jiraiya and asked.
Seeing Naruto's expectant gaze, Jiraiya felt a little strange.
However, he still said confidently, "Of course, but you actually know about all three of them, including Orochimaru and Tsunade. Who told you all this, kid?"
Naruto ignored Jiraiya again, after which Jiraiya admitted it.
Naruto jumped up excitedly, "Yay! The village is saved! I'm going to tell Kakashi-sensei and Sakura!"
Naruto was about to run away.
Jiraiya's lips twitched slightly. "This guy has actually ignored this immortal so many times."
"But the fact that he knows so much about the Sannin shows that he must have studied well at the Ninja Academy."
Jiraiya still thought Naruto knew about the Legendary Sannin from the Ninja Academy.
Seeing Naruto about to run away, Jiraiya quickly stopped him. "Stop, brat."
Just as Naruto was about to tell Kakashi and Sakura about the appearance of the Sannin, he turned around and looked at Jiraiya with displeasure, asking, "What's wrong?"
Jiraiya said speechlessly, "I am one of the Legendary Sannin. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Naruto paused for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Right, you're one of the Legendary Sannin, shouldn't I have something to say to you?"
Naruto's words left Jiraiya speechless.
"You're really not quite right in the head."
Naruto wasn't angry. He looked at Jiraiya and asked, "Was that toad yours? Why did it attack me?"
Jiraiya nodded, and Naruto finally entered into Jiraiya's plan.
So he nodded knowingly, "That's right, that toad was summoned by this Toad Sage."
"A summoned beast?"
Naruto asked curiously.
Jiraiya nodded. "That's right. How about it? Pretty powerful, right?"
"Indeed very powerful, but still no match for me."
Naruto said confidently.
Jiraiya was somewhat speechless. If Kakashi had told him beforehand that Naruto had mastered the Rasengan, he wouldn't have summoned that toad.
Instead, it will summon an even more powerful toad.
Jiraiya, however, was quite pleased.
After all, Naruto has grown quite a bit over the years. He has mastered the Rasengan at this age, and even without considering the Rasengan, Naruto's taijutsu performance and combat awareness just now have already reached the level of a Chunin.
Jiraiya, who had originally thought Naruto would be weak, was completely taken aback.
Jiraiya looked at Naruto and laughed, "Kid, I also have a very powerful summoning beast. Do you want to learn from me?"
Naruto paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "You mean you want me to learn ninjutsu from you?"
Jiraiya nodded confidently, believing that Naruto wouldn't refuse.
Naruto thought for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "No, I can't learn from you. Although you are one of the Legendary Sannin, I am Kakashi-sensei's student, and I believe that Kakashi-sensei can help me become stronger."
"Because Yoru was taught by Kakashi-sensei, Yoru is no worse than you."
Although Naruto sees Yoru as an opponent he wants to surpass, he trusts Yoru very much.
Furthermore, Yoru also devised a training plan for Naruto, which Naruto then gave to Kakashi, instructing him to train according to that plan.
In less than a month, he already felt much stronger than before.
Naruto felt that, according to Yoru's plan, he would become very strong soon, and once he mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, he would be able to surpass Yoru and Sasuke.
Naturally, he lost interest in learning from Jiraiya.
Jiraiya hadn't expected Naruto to reject him.
Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a surprised expression. "Don't you know how strong I am?"
Do you think your teacher is better than me?
Naruto looked up at Jiraiya and shook his head seriously. "I didn't say that. You are one of the Legendary Sannin. Kakashi-sensei told me how powerful you are."
“You all possess Hokage-level strength, far surpassing Kakashi-sensei.”
Jiraiya looked at Naruto, puzzled. "Then why did you refuse?"
Naruto looked at Jiraiya and smiled, "Because Kakashi-sensei is more likely to make me stronger."
Jiraiya completely failed to understand, “But if you follow me, you will become stronger. I am stronger than Kakashi and can teach you even more powerful ninjutsu.”
Naruto smiled and said, "Maybe, but Kakashi-sensei is more suitable for me."
Jiraiya was speechless.
This was the first time someone had rejected him.
In the past, people would beg him to be their teacher, but now that he's offering himself up, he's being rejected.
That's so embarrassing.
"Tell me, why is Kakashi stronger than me?"
Naruto thought for a moment and said, "I didn't say that Kakashi-sensei is stronger than you. It's just that he knows better how to make me stronger. A friend of mine once said that the best method is the one that suits you. No matter how good the method is, it won't make you stronger if it doesn't suit you."
Jiraiya was stunned; he hadn't expected Naruto to say something like that.
He had read some of Naruto's information before, and Naruto would never say such a thing in those records.
Jiraiya was unaware that the materials he was looking at were from a very long time ago.
During this period, Ye Yu changed Team 7 a lot, and Kakashi was more serious about the three of them than in the original work.
The three of them are now much stronger than they were in the original story.
Moreover, Naruto trusted Kakashi because Kakashi had unwavering faith in Naruto.
Because the training plan Ye Yu gave him really made him much stronger.
Naturally, no matter how powerful Jiraiya was, he felt that Jiraiya could not understand him better than Ye Yu.
