"Ikkaku, are you here too?"

"Sakumo?"

Outside the BBQ Q, Hatake Sakumo greeted a black-haired ninja. This ninja's name is Umino Ikkaku, a Jounin of Konoha. However, his reputation is not obvious, but when it comes to his son, he is very famous.

Umino Ikkaku's son is Umino Iruka, one of the fathers of the savior Uzumaki Naruto in the original work. However, Umino Ikkaku responded to the late marriage and late childbearing policy and is still a single man.

He is a few years older than Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru. He is the same generation as Hatake Sakumo and can be regarded as the senior of Tsunade and others. Naturally, he is also on Jiraiya's invitation list.

The two were chatting and laughing, and were about to walk into the barbecue Q, but found that there were two other people at the door with their heads raised, blocking the way.

Hatake Sakumo glanced at it and then asked: "Zhen Hong, Gong Dao, what are you doing here if you don't go in?"

The expressions of Yuhi Mahong and Mokume Kouta were a little confused. After hearing Hatake Sakumo's words, Yuhi Mahong raised his head and lowered his head to look at Hatake Sakumo. However, he pointed his finger upward and said:

"I remember the invitation, it said that Jiraiya was accepting disciples."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Especially Jiraiya, who frequently looked up at the clock in the private room. There were only ten minutes left before the time written in his invitation.

If we don't prepare all the gifts, it will inevitably fall into the trap of the people and it will appear that we don't know how to behave."

But for such a social gathering, not a single guest showed up. If things continued like this, not to mention expanding Minato's network, it might even make him a joke in the village.

Jiraiya was confused by some of the monks. Before he could ask, Orochimaru walked in with the rope tree. Orochimaru said with some dissatisfaction: "If the arrangements change next time, let me know in advance."

After being exposed by Yuhi Mako, Hatake Sakumo's face turned red, then he cleared his throat and said righteously: "My sword is also made of chakra metal after all, and it is much more valuable than your gift!"

Umino Ikkaku slapped his forehead and said, "Did you all prepare only one gift?"

According to common sense, as a guest, you should arrive half an hour or even earlier. Although not everyone will arrive early, but not everyone will arrive so late, right?

Mokume Kōtō asked, Yuhizhen Kurenai and Umino Ikkaku nodded, Umino Ikkaku said: "This is the only way, this time to recruit disciples, maybe the Hokage-sama and a few advisors will also come.

The most important thing is that Jiraiya knows that he cannot teach Minato all the time, and he also has many areas that he is not good at. At this time, if Minato has enough connections, he can visit and learn.

Tatsuma asked, Tsunade nodded, straightened up, took a deep breath to suppress the smile on her face, then opened the door and walked in.

Jiraiya was anxious and wanted to get up and go out several times, but when he saw Minato still sitting in his seat, as a teacher, he couldn't be more irritable than his disciples, so he could only endure it.

"Is it possible that my reputation is so bad that they don't want to attend my apprenticeship ceremony? No, Tsunade, Orochimaru and the teacher can't come, right?"

In the BBQ Q, in a very large private room, Jiraiya and Minato were sitting on the main and secondary seats, both of them had some confusion on their faces.

"Then it's almost time for us to go in, right?"

"Originally, only Jiraiya was supposed to accept a disciple, and Tsunade was added later. You see, the handwriting and layout are obviously wrong, but it's true that Jiraiya and Tsunade didn't tell them in advance if there were any changes."

Umino Ikkaku waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go buy gifts first. Sakumo, please inform the people who come next so that they don't bring less gifts."

After saying that, he looked at Hatake Sakumo. Hatake shook his head and said: "I won't go. I just ordered a new chakra knife. I will get it in a few days. I will give it to you."

This is an old knife.

Outside the door, Tsunade and Tatsuma master and apprentice were looking around. One was listening inside the house and the other was looking out the door. After a while, Tatsuma slipped to Tsunade and whispered:

"Tsunade! You are finally here!"

Hatake Sakumo nodded, and then consciously stood at the door of the BBQ Q. He had been a Hokage guard for several years, and this station was quite impressive, like the security captain hired by the BBQ Q with a high salary.

Saying that, Hatake Sakumo showed a meaningful smile, and Yuhi Mahong curled his lips and said: "After customizing the new knife, you don't have much money in your pocket, right? I told you before, I have to save money."

Hearing this, Tsunade nodded, pointed to the door, and said with a snicker: "Jiraiya, this idiot, probably hasn't noticed anything wrong yet!"

"Guest? What guest? I am also the protagonist of this apprenticeship ceremony!"

Yuhi Zhenhong and Mokume Kouta nodded. Hatake Sakumo took out the invitation and took a closer look. It was indeed written that Jiraiya had accepted a disciple. He looked up at the banner again and said:

"I just prepared a gift, now I'm in trouble."

"Teacher, Orochimaru-sama has already returned with the rope tree. Counting the time, the others will return one after another in the next ten minutes."

Hatake Sakumo and Umino Ikkaku also raised their heads in confusion, and then they were stunned for a moment. "Jiraiya's apprenticeship ceremony" was fine, but there were "Tsunade" and "cum" in front of it.

After all, Namikaze Minato was born as a commoner, so getting to know the senior leaders and elites in the village in advance would also be beneficial to his future development.

After Tsunade finished speaking domineeringly, she walked over to Jiraiya, pushed him, and made half a seat for herself to sit down. Tatsuma also sat in the seat opposite Minato.

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Although it’s old, it’s very meaningful, isn’t it?”

"Shall we buy the second gift now?"

Jiraiya was a little panicked. This was his first time accepting a disciple. When faced with this situation, he really didn't know what to do.

Seeing someone coming in, Jiraiya almost burst into tears and said, "I thought no one would come to my apprenticeship ceremony, and I didn't expect you to be the first guest to arrive."

He held the apprenticeship ceremony not to receive a gift, but to bring his disciple Minato Namikaze into the high-level view, and to expand his network of contacts for Minato Namikaze.

"Okay, hurry up then."

After speaking, he threw out the two scrolls and said: "This is a little bit of my own experience in developing ninjutsu. I hope it will be of some help to you two."

Minato took the scroll in a daze, and he didn't understand what was happening. At this time, someone else came in outside the door, it was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, several people were about to stand up. Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand and pressed it down, indicating that they didn't need to get up. Then he looked at Tsunade and Tatsuma with a strange look, took out two scrolls, and said:

"This is my research note on compound ninjutsu. It is very suitable for beginners. I hope you can use it well. But, Tsunade and Jiraiya, you two have become teachers, but you are still so unreliable.

Since it has been changed to a joint apprenticeship ceremony, we must explain it in advance, as it will only trouble other guests."

Sarutobi Hiruzen directly determined Tsunade's behavior in a few words. Jiraiya looked confused. He didn't know why, but he felt like he had become an accomplice, but he didn't do anything!
