Chapter 40: Kakashi Under the Mask (Part 2)
Jiraiya was embarrassed when he heard Minato Namikaze's voice.
He was very familiar with his apprentice's voice. He must have seen the failure of flirting with girls just now.
"It's Minato. I was going to talk to you tomorrow to discuss something." Jiraiya looked tipsy on the exquisite bench, and said to Minato Namikaze who appeared at the door: "I didn't expect to meet you here..."
"It's just right, let's have a drink together."
Jiraiya pretended that the previous incident had not happened, and Minato Namikaze certainly would not mention it.
When he heard that he wanted to talk about business, Minato Namikaze wanted to agree, but immediately felt that it seemed inappropriate.
"Actually, I brought my student Hatake Kakashi with me. We sat not far away..." Minato Namikaze scratched his hair and smiled awkwardly.
He could probably guess what Jiraiya wanted to talk to him about, but today he came here specifically to invite students to dinner. If he left Kakashi aside and went to talk about business with Jiraiya, it might be a bit inappropriate.
So he was a little embarrassed about Jiraiya's invitation.
"Your students?" Jiraiya was stunned.
Of course, he didn't know the members of Minato's class.
Hatake Kakashi was in the Anbu at this time. Although his reputation gradually rose, it was only circulated in the Anbu.
The name of the copy ninja was known in the ninja world after leaving the Anbu and greatly developing the ability of the Sharingan.
In addition, Jiraiya had not returned to the village for nearly two years, so of course he had never heard of Kakashi's name.
"Is it the Fourth Hokage?" Suddenly a female voice full of surprise came.
At this time, outside the door, the waitress who had left earlier returned at some point and stared at the figure of Namikaze Minato.
After confirming this fact, she instantly became extremely enthusiastic and hurriedly said respectfully: "Hokage-sama, what do you need?"
"Any request I can do, I will help you immediately..."
This ecstatic and shy look is clearly like a fangirl.
While secretly looking at Minato Namikaze, Keiko's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Sure enough, the Fourth Hokage she saw in person was much more handsome than the handsome man in the statue.
She was very excited when she thought of having the honor to serve the Hokage at such a close distance.
The waitress named Keiko showed a completely different attitude from her previous attitude towards Jiraiya, which made the atmosphere on the scene instantly awkward. Especially Jiraiya, his face suddenly looked very strange.
Envy and jealousy, almost all on his face...
"Indeed, there is no need."
Minato Namikaze smiled softly, and wanted to refuse, but he suddenly saw the dishes on Jiraiya's table, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "By the way, I have a suggestion..."
...
A few minutes later, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya shared a table with Kakashi and sat in the same box.
It took a lot of words to finally get rid of the overly enthusiastic waitress.
What he didn't expect was that when he returned to his table, he found that Hatake Kakashi had eaten up the salt-grilled saury in front of him.
This made Minato Namikaze secretly think that he had miscalculated. It seemed that if he wanted to take the opportunity to see Kakashi's true face under the mask, he would have to wait until the next opportunity.
"Kakashi, this is my master, Jiraiya, one of the three legendary ninjas."
After the three sat down, Minato Namikaze took the lead in introducing.
There was a flash of surprise in Hatake Kakashi's eyes, and then his expression instantly became respectful.
The name of the three ninjas is very big. After becoming famous in World War II, after decades, the name of the three ninjas of Konoha has long been resounding throughout the ninja world. Although it is a bit different from the image of the legendary ninja he imagined, Kakashi is still very polite.
Jiraiya looked at Hatake Kakashi seriously, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and said in a daze: "Hatake clan... Is it the Kakashi with Sharingan in the war two years ago?"
The battle of Kannabi Bridge was very famous in the Third Ninja World War. It was circulated within Konoha that in the war at that time, a hero who was not from the Uchiha clan but had Sharingan was born due to special reasons.
According to the battle report known to the outside world, Namikaze Minato and Kakashi, two jonins, led two chuunins to eliminate nearly dozens of Iwagakure ninjas. Among them, there were several very famous and powerful jonins in Iwagakure, such as Maji and Huoguang.
When the Sharingan was mentioned, Hatake Kakashi instantly recalled Rin and Obito, and immediately lowered his eyes and entered a state of autism.
Namikaze Minato was keenly aware of this and felt a little helpless.
But Jiraiya didn't know the inside story, so of course he couldn't blame him.
"By the way, Jiraiya teacher, are there any new works recently?" Namikaze Minato asked, trying to change the subject.
He suddenly remembered that one of Kakashi's biggest hobbies was Jiraiya's pornographic book, right? So he couldn't help but mention that if he could get a copy to give to Kakashi, maybe he could quickly get out of the shadow.
The reason why I asked if there were any new works was of course because the latest one, "The Legend of the Perseverance Ninja", was not completed for a long time, and maybe the intimate series has not been created yet.
When it comes to creation, Jiraiya instantly became very interested.
Thinking of the word "new work", he suddenly smiled and said a little nervously: "You are worthy of being my disciple. You actually know that I am creating a new type of work recently."
"Yes, new works are indeed being created."
"But this work has only just begun, and it will take a long time to finish."
"After all, collecting materials takes a lot of time..."
As he talked, Jiraiya remembered something, and the smile on his face gradually became more and more unrestrained.
Sure enough, the make-out series hasn’t come out yet. Namikaze Minato was a little disappointed. It seemed that the special method of getting Kakashi out of the shadows by making out with Heaven was not feasible for the time being.
Namikaze Minato, who was only thinking about this, actually didn't notice at all that Kakashi was only over 15 years old now. I never thought about whether showing him something that was forbidden for 18 years, such as the intimate series, so early, would affect the child's physical and mental health...
While chatting here and there, Jiraiya talked about a lot of things he had seen outside the village. What he didn't expect was that these things would also arouse Kakashi's attention.
After chatting for a long time, he suddenly remembered that Naruto was still in the hospital and Minato Namikaze was going to take him home. He calculated that it was already late at night and immediately asked to leave.
Jiraiya originally wanted to talk to Namikaze Minato about some confidential matters, but due to Kakashi's presence, he didn't mention it.
I had to wait until next time to find time and go to the Hokage building specifically to talk.
Before leaving, Namikaze Minato asked Kakashi for a copy of "The Legend of Endurance" signed by Jiraiya and gave it to Kakashi as a gift...
