On the other side, Jiraiya had finally finished serving a month in prison and came out.
The Uchiha Clan did not abuse him. In prison, he was supplied with three meals a day on time.
But the life of confinement, the loss of freedom, this kind of life truly wasn't fit for a person to live.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, he felt refreshed and clear-headed.
Although he had been locked up by the Uchiha clan for a month, he was not angry now, because he had learned the identity of the Child of Prophecy.
Now it was time to do serious things and complete his mission.
Because the prison was right next to the Uchiha clan's territory, Jiraiya soon arrived at the gate of the Uchiha clan's territory.
He did not choose to barge in directly, but politely informed the clan member guarding the gate.
The Uchiha clan's gatekeeper replied, "Wait here, I'll go report."
Soon, Ryosuke walked to the gate of the clan grounds, looking at Jiraiya now.
"Jiraiya, long time no see. Was the life in prison okay?"
Jiraiya didn't care about the mocking tone of the other party, and said coldly, "I've served my time, now you should tell me who the Child of Prophecy is, right?"
"Of course, follow me."
After Ryosuke finished speaking, he directly walked into the interior of the clan grounds.
Jiraiya was a bit surprised. 'Could it be that the Child of Prophecy is actually a member of the Uchiha clan?'
That would be too unbelievable. In Uchiha Fugaku's courtyard, Naruto and Sasuke were doing morning training, simply sparring with taijutsu.
They were in the foundational stage at this point, constantly refining chakra, and physical training was not neglected.
This is the advantage of a big clan. From the very beginning, the starting point is already higher than children from ordinary families.
The two saw Ryosuke walking over, stopped their training, and happily walked over.
"Brother Ryosuke."
And Jiraiya, upon seeing these two little ones, immediately frowned tightly. 'The Child of Prophecy is this small? How can someone like this become the one to lead the change in the ninja world?'
Did he come at the wrong time?
One of them, with needle-like spiky hair, was clearly an Uchiha clan member. In his heart, he did not believe someone from this clan would become the Child of Prophecy.
The other had golden yellow hair, looked a bit familiar. Such hair was not common in the Leaf Village.
'Probably not from the Uchiha clan. Could he be the so-called Child of Prophecy?'
Naruto also noticed this strange person, with rather thick hair, messy all over, a bit sleazy-looking guy who was staring at him.
"Brother Ryosuke, who is this weird old man?"
Ryosuke smiled and said, "This is Jiraiya. He's here to take you as his disciple."
Naruto was a bit surprised, and also a bit disgusted. He had heard the name Jiraiya before. The peeping pervert who had been a hot topic in the village recently.
"I don't want to be a pervert's disciple."
Jiraiya was a bit depressed, even such a small child knew about his peeping. Looks like this person really is the Child of Prophecy that he needs to take as a disciple. He had to restore his image. He coughed, tidied up his hair, struck a strange pose, and shouted, "I am the Toad Sage Jiraiya, a sage!"
After entering Sage Mode, he indeed possessed the power of a sage.
Naruto, hearing this, became interested. A sage must be very powerful, maybe he could teach him awesome ninjutsu. But he was still struggling internally.
"Brother Ryosuke, do I really have to take this person as my master?"
Jiraiya felt a little unhappy inside. To become his disciple, he actually had to ask an Uchiha first?
But Ryosuke smiled and said, "Actually, Jiraiya is quite powerful. He was also your father's teacher."
Until now, Fugaku had been teaching Naruto, and that was fine for now. But when Naruto grows up and begins to learn ninjutsu and enhance his strength, there will be big problems.
Naruto doesn't have fire-style chakra, nor does he have the Sharingan. He's not suitable to follow the Uchiha clan's path.
Because most of the Uchiha clan's strength comes from their eyes.
And naturally, he hoped Naruto could become stronger.
In the original plot, Naruto also took Jiraiya as his master, and under Jiraiya's careful guidance, became much stronger.
When Naruto heard this, his eyes lit up a bit. His father's teacher. To have taught his father to become Hokage and the village's hero, he must be a powerful person. Although he had the flaw of being a peeping tom, he could still consider it.
"Can he teach me to become someone like the Hokage?"
Jiraiya was also shocked. He hadn't even asked the kid's name just now, but to think his father was Minato, and that golden hair is indeed Minato's trademark.
He had planned to look for Minato's child after returning to the village. Now it seems it's truly fate. Then he must take him as his disciple.
"As long as you become my disciple, I will teach you so you have the qualifications to become Hokage."
To be the one who changes the ninja world, powerful strength is a must.
Naruto listened to Jiraiya's words. Since he was so confident, he felt a little tempted. "Alright, I'm willing to take you as my master."
Jiraiya was very happy when he heard that. "Then from now on, you are my disciple. Uchiha Ryosuke, can I take him away for training now?"
Ryosuke replied, "You can, but Naruto is still young, and this is the time to build foundations."
Jiraiya was actually so happy he forgot, the Child of Prophecy was still very young. Too small to teach too many things. And the first time taking a disciple, he must teach something fun, right?
Should he teach him the Rasengan or the Summoning Technique?
Thinking carefully, both don't seem quite right. He suddenly got a bit frustrated. Seems like there's not much he could teach. Sure enough, still too young. He could only say, "Naruto, you are still too young now. Wait until you grow up a bit, at least after graduating from the ninja academy, I'll come teach you. Then I'll pass on your father's signature move, Rasengan, and the Summoning Technique, so you can summon a giant toad."
Naruto, hearing that, wasn't unhappy at all. He also knew that the most important thing for him now was to build a strong foundation. Only then could he learn better ninjutsu in the future.
"Okay, Jiraiya-sensei."
Jiraiya was also happy. It seemed Naruto was more sensible than he had imagined. Now that things were done here, he could finally go enjoy a drink. There was no good wine in prison, after all.
Then, he'd trim himself up, his current look really damaged the face of the Toad Sage.
After Jiraiya left, Sasuke was a bit envious of Naruto, being able to take Jiraiya as a teacher.
"Brother Ryosuke, can you be my teacher too?"
Even if Jiraiya was a sage, Ryosuke was the one who had personally defeated and imprisoned this sage. That made him even stronger than a sage.
If he could study under such a person and improve himself, then he could completely surpass Naruto.
But Ryosuke was a bit troubled. It wasn't that he didn't want to teach, but that he didn't know how to teach.
