After completing the emergency treatment, Roy found Jiraiya.
"Lord Jiraiya, it seems you truly don't want to participate in such matters, do you?"
"This isn't what we agreed upon."
Roy smiled as he looked at Jiraiya.
Seeing Roy's smile, Jiraiya shivered.
Did this kid see through something?
What he did was flawless!
"Kid, what are you talking about?"
"Didn't I already do as you said…"
Jiraiya felt a little guilty.
"I won't even mention the halved time, but for Lord Jiraiya to use such methods to try and end the training early…"
"I can't do anything about it."
"In that case, my mouth… might not be so tight anymore."
Roy said with a smile.
"Kid, you…"
"Roy, you see, I…"
Jiraiya began to explain his difficulties.
Things like being a writer who needed to submit manuscripts…
Not having inspiration to write, needing to find material, and so on.
However, Roy didn't care about his excuses.
This month's time must be completed with quality and quantity.
At the very least, he needed to raise his Ambidextrous Hands to over 50% within this month.
…
Meanwhile, at the training ground.
"Hello everyone, I am Sakumo Hatake."
"I believe you're all very confused about the current training, aren't you?"
"You think Lord Jiraiya is too harsh, right?"
"Actually, all of this is to protect you!"
Sakumo Hatake said loudly.
There were already many Ninja who came to watch the commotion, and upon hearing Sakumo Hatake's words, they were all drawn in.
They were curious why treating their fellow Village Ninja so brutally would be for their own good.
Just now, they were still doubting if such combat training was truly effective.
Now, Sakumo Hatake was here to clear their doubts.
"What everyone is most confused about should be Lord Jiraiya's methods, right?"
"Is it necessary to even summon a summoned beast to overwhelmingly fight against people from the same Village?"
"Is this the doubt in everyone's hearts?"
Sakumo Hatake asked again.
"Yes, this fighting style makes me feel a bit hopeless."
"Even now, I'm still shrouded in the shadow of being brutally beaten!"
One Ninja, after being brutally beaten by Jiraiya yesterday, still couldn't shake off the psychological trauma.
Now, let alone this kind of training, he was even a bit afraid of ordinary combat training.
"Lord Sakumo, what exactly is the explanation for this?"
"Please just tell us directly."
Another Ninja asked directly.
"You haven't been to the battlefield, have you?"
"On the battlefield, it's a hundred times harsher than Lord Jiraiya!"
"And, they won't just brutally beat you, they will directly kill you!"
"As for medical facilities, that's simply impossible."
"Think about it, if the previous training was on the battlefield, how many of you would be alive?"
"If you can't adapt to this fear in advance, when you get to the battlefield, you'll be like fish waiting to be slaughtered."
"Do you want to hear about what happens on the battlefield?"
After Sakumo Hatake finished speaking, he directly sat down.
"Yes!"
All these young Ninja sat down.
As for the Ninja who had participated in the war, they already understood the purpose of Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake's practical training.
"I participated in…"
Sakumo Hatake felt like he was back on the battlefield.
He was now the overall commander of this team again.
And what he needed to do now was to make his troops understand the meaning and resolve of combat!
On the other side, Jiraiya was completely convinced.
This kid Roy was incredibly smart!
He had originally planned to scare all these Ninja away.
Then, if no one signed up to participate, his mission would be over.
Well, then.
It was only the second day, the effect was good, but Roy saw through it at a glance.
"Roy, I promise you, I will take the practical training seriously from now on."
"It's just one month, I can stick with it."
Jiraiya was completely defeated.
"Good."
"Thank you, Lord Jiraiya, for thinking of everyone."
"Then, I'll go back to my treatment work."
Roy left with a smile.
Having dealt with Jiraiya, let Jiraiya handle the subsequent troubles.
However the people were scared away, he would have to bring them back.
"This is?"
Just as he returned to the training ground, Roy was stunned.
Sakumo Hatake's impassioned speech had a large crowd listening intently, even feeling a sense of surging excitement.
The wars of the Ninja World were never like the hundred-level, no-one-dies kind in hot-blooded anime.
Every war could be described as littered with corpses.
And Sakumo Hatake had clarified the purpose of this training, using the Ninja's lives and their future as bait.
Why wouldn't they take the bait?
When Jiraiya returned, his face was bitter.
He also understood what kind of situation Sakumo Hatake's speech would bring.
Trying to be lazy would probably be impossible.
Because many teams were already eager to sign up again.
…
A month passed just like that.
At this time, at the entrance of Konoha Village.
"Lord Jiraiya, my teacher said she has something to do and can't come for now."
"I actually hope Lord Jiraiya stays in the Village a bit longer, so everyone can improve more."
Roy looked at Jiraiya with a mischievous smile.
Hearing Roy's words, Jiraiya wasn't falling for it.
Last time, it was just a fleeting glimpse in the bathhouse, and it tied him down for a month.
"I won't be back for a while, I'm going to travel the entire Ninja World."
"Oh, and I'm taking Minato with me; I trust Sakumo Hatake here."
Jiraiya finished speaking and vanished in a flash.
"Roy, keep it up."
"I still hope you develop in the direction of a combat Ninja."
"You have high talent, don't waste it."
Minato said a few words, then also disappeared from here.
That's right, after just one month, Jiraiya immediately left the Village.
And he took Minato with him.
"Time to go back and continue treatment, Uncle Sakumo is quite harsh too!"
Roy muttered to himself, then turned and headed towards the training ground.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage Office was about to explode with anger.
He had originally thought Jiraiya had changed, learning to win people's hearts, build a network, and enhance his reputation.
But he didn't expect the guy to run off after only a month!
If it were just that, it would be fine, but now he had Sakumo Hatake take over.
Isn't this just giving Sakumo Hatake more prestige?
All the arrangements made during the Second Shinobi World War were disrupted by Jiraiya's move.
His face was even uglier than if he had eaten a dead fly.
