Chapter 770

Thinking of this.

Namikaze Minato couldn't help but smile and speak.

"Hmm, that's fine too."

"Seeing is believing, after all. I have confidence in Jin-kun."

"But have a meal before you go. Anyway, Jin-kun is idle every day; that guy is super lazy, much like the Nara clan."

"No matter when, you can find him at home."

Jiraiya nodded.

He didn't refuse, as he hadn't eaten yet either.

After the meal.

Jiraiya didn't waste words; he greeted Minato and headed straight for the Uchiha compound.

He is an impatient person; he does things as soon as he thinks of them!

Twenty minutes later.

Led by one of the Uchiha, he arrived directly at Jin's small courtyard.

The journey was very smooth.

This, too, is normal.

After all, Jiraiya's reputation in Konoha is quite resounding.

The Legendary Sannin of Konoha, ever heard of them?

Therefore.

Even the Uchiha would not be overly hostile when facing Jiraiya.

At the entrance of Jin's small courtyard.

Looking at the simple, rustic courtyard, Jiraiya was quite surprised.

Yes.

In his mind, the current Uchiha Jin could be considered a person of high status and power, even capable of standing toe-to-toe with his cheap teacher.

Under such circumstances, enjoying life a bit would be normal.

But, now?

He actually lives in this ordinary three-story building; in some respects, it's not even as good as Namikaze Minato's, who came from a civilian background.

This is, quite interesting.

Jiraiya was thoughtful but didn't say much.

Immediately after.

Led by the Uchiha patrol, Jiraiya walked directly into the courtyard and saw Uchiha Jin lying on a lounge chair, comfortably basking in the sun while leisurely drinking tea.

Honestly speaking.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya actually felt a bit envious.

Good grief!

He's even more carefree than a wanderer like me.

Truly, envious.

And just as he was thinking, the Uchiha patrol member introduced him to Uchiha Jin.

After listening.

Uchiha Jin quickly stood up, first letting the patrol member leave, then immediately walked up to greet him.

"The Gallant Jiraiya!"

"I apologize for not coming out to welcome you sooner."

"Hurry over and have a cup of tea."

Uchiha Jin said with a smile.

After speaking.

He quickly invited Jiraiya to sit down with a smile, then began to brew tea for him personally.

Yes.

He respects Jiraiya.

As Uchiha Jin, who has read the original work in its entirety, he certainly knows the regrets in the eyes of many readers.

Jiraiya.

Although this guy has many small flaws, especially his die-hard loyalty to Mount Myoboku, to the point where he could even discard his Konoha headband.

But, other than that.

He is indeed a good person, and in all other aspects, he is impeccable.

Of course.

For the Jiraiya before him, Uchiha Jin only respects him; it doesn't reach the point of fawning over him.

Especially.

His current status and position are too high, so even though this is Minato's teacher, he only treats him as an equal.

And, on the other side.

Jiraiya was slightly stunned.

Clearly.

Before coming to the Uchiha compound, he had actually thought a lot.

However, it's a pity.

He still found it hard to connect this tender, fair-skinned, youthful-looking boy before him with the "evil person" in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth or the "reliable teammate" in Namikaze Minato's mouth.

And the respect shown to him made him feel flattered.

You must know.

He is from the Hokage faction, an enemy of the Uchiha!

Thinking of this, he naturally asked what he didn't understand.

"Oh, Jin-kun!"

"I am Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, and I am a mortal enemy of you Uchiha."

"Why are you showing me such respect?"

Jiraiya asked immediately.

His personality is just like that; when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he asks directly, disdaining to hide it.

Of course.

He also has the qualifications to do so!

"Why? It's very simple!" Uchiha Jin said with a smile: "Because I understand you well enough."

"Yes, you heard me right."

"Although I have never met you, my brain is no match for a Nara's."

"I know who is a person and who is a ghost."

"I know you cannot stand on the side of the Uchiha, but I also know you won't stand on the side of Sarutobi Hiruzen either."

"The most you can do is remain neutral!"

"Your feelings for Konoha are very special; you will not take sides with any faction."

"To put it bluntly."

"You actually know that Sarutobi Hiruzen's methods are wrong, but because he is your mentor, you simply can't bring yourself to act against him."

"Otherwise, why would you distance yourself from Konoha?"

"Traveling the ninja world? Searching for writing inspiration? The Child of Prophecy?"

"In my opinion, that's all nonsense; you are just escaping."

"So, that's how it is."

"Since I know you won't become an enemy, and I also like your personality and temperament."

"Just like with Namikaze Minato, personal friendship is enough."

"In life, it's important to separate public and private matters!"

"So even if you won't help the Uchiha, it doesn't matter to me." ===== CHAPTER 771 =====
