Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, who was completely oblivious.
She thought, perhaps Jiraiya was right.
The power of this child before her had already exceeded her imagination.
This child might truly be able to change the Ninja World.
"What's wrong?"
Jiraiya walked over to Tsunade, his gaze filled with concern as he looked at her.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and smiled, "He healed a wound I couldn't treat."
Jiraiya was stunned.
He looked at Shiratori Rin.
A wound that even Tsunade couldn't treat?
How was that possible?
Shiratori Rin heard Tsunade's words, his pupils dilated, and he scratched his head, completely unaware: "But I just did it the way Tsunade-sensei taught me!"
Let the existence of Reverse Technique remain hidden by him.
Tsunade took a deep breath, patted Jiraiya's shoulder, and said to him with an unclear meaning, "The same Medical Ninjutsu in his hands can heal wounds that were originally incurable; he might truly be the person you've been searching for."
Jiraiya's heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.
He stared at Shiratori Rin intently.
Could he be the person he had been searching for all along?
"I can't stay in Amegakure for too long," Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, shrugging her shoulders with a somewhat helpless expression, "As you can see, your disciple mastered my Medical Ninjutsu in just one day, and I can't teach him any more, so I have to leave."
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade: "Thank you, Tsunade."
Thank you, Tsunade, for traveling thousands of miles overnight to Amegakure, and for generously imparting Medical Ninjutsu to Shiratori Rin.
Tsunade was a bit unaccustomed to Jiraiya's demeanor at that moment; she punched Jiraiya in the chest: "Are we still being polite with each other?"
Jiraiya clutched his chest, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
An ordinary person truly couldn't withstand Tsunade's punch.
"Want to leave after dinner?"
Jiraiya swallowed the old blood and suggested.
Tsunade shook her head, her expression solemn: "No, there are still missions in the Village."
Jiraiya sighed silently; missions indeed could not be delayed. He said, "Then I'll see you off."
Tsunade nodded, a smile gracing her lips: "Alright!"
Shiratori Rin came closer, standing beside Jiraiya, facing Tsunade: "Tsunade-sensei, I'll see you off too."
Tsunade lowered her gaze to him, reached out her hand towards Shiratori Rin, and placed it on Shiratori Rin's shoulder.
Shiratori Rin only felt his shoulder sink.
"I hope you always remember your original intention for learning Medical Ninjutsu."
Tsunade said.
Shiratori Rin's original intention for learning Medical Ninjutsu?
— To earn emotional value.
Shiratori Rin nodded firmly: "Tsunade-sensei, I will always remember it!"
How could he forget to earn emotional value?
Unless the clip System was remade.
[Dear, give up.]
Shiratori Rin: "..."
Tsunade withdrew her hand, feeling pleased.
Shiratori Rin and Jiraiya saw Tsunade off at the dock.
Tsunade boarded the ship; she stood on the deck, watching Jiraiya and Shiratori Rin grow smaller in the distance. Their figures quickly shrunk into two tiny black dots, slowly disappearing from her sight.
The ship disappeared into the boundless sea, and Jiraiya and Shiratori Rin walked towards the direction of the seaside wooden house.
Yahiko and the others remained in the wooden house, diligently Cultivating Ninjutsu.
On the way back, Shiratori Rin suddenly asked, "Will Jiraiya-sensei leave us too?"
Hearing such a question out of the blue, Jiraiya was startled, then reacted with a hint of helplessness.
His gaze fell on Shiratori Rin as he said, "Rin, no one can accompany you forever, and neither can I."
Jiraiya keenly noticed that Shiratori Rin's mood became low.
Shiratori Rin pleaded, "Jiraiya-sensei, can you leave a little later? I don't want to part with Jiraiya-sensei."
A smile appeared in Jiraiya's eyes, and he saw a blush on Shiratori Rin's cheek.
[Ding!]
[System detected Jiraiya's love value +500]
[Currently collected love value +500. Would you like to feed it to the accompanying Cursed Spirit Rika Orimoto?]
[Yes][No]
Shiratori Rin said in his mind: "We can skip this step in the future."
He earned love value solely for Rika Orimoto's growth.
Did he even need to ask?
[Ding!]
[Your accompanying Cursed Spirit Rika Orimoto's Rank has increased to 45.502%]
[Your accompanying Cursed Spirit Rika Orimoto sends feedback: Yuta, I miss you~]
Shiratori Rin's mouth twitched, and he continued to say in his mind: "Skip this step in the future too!"
[Received, processing...]
Shiratori Rin raised an eyebrow; the clip now truly had the demeanor of a support System.
It seemed that the System evaluation questionnaire was useful after all.
"I will only leave once you all have fully grown and gained the ability to protect yourselves, so don't worry."
Jiraiya comforted him.
By the time they returned to the seaside wooden house, it was already dusk.
Yahiko and the others had already returned to the wooden house. Seeing Jiraiya and Shiratori Rin appear, their eyes lit up.
Jiraiya put his hands on his hips and instructed Yahiko and the others: "Tonight we're having a seafood feast! Let's go! Let's go catch some fish!"
"Yay!"
Yahiko was the first to jump up and rush out the door.
Konan smiled and followed behind Yahiko.
Nagato glanced at Shiratori Rin, who smiled back at him.
The two of them also chased after Yahiko and Konan.
Watching the backs of the four of them, a bright light flickered in Jiraiya's eyes.
A month's time passed in a flash.
Shiratori Rin repeated his daily routine of practicing body techniques and imitating Jiraiya's Ninjutsu.
Almost all of Jiraiya's Ninjutsu below S-Rank had been replicated by Shiratori Rin.
Including the A-Rank Ninjutsu Rasengan.
Although the progress of Ninjutsu imitation was good, the progress of emotional value remained stagnant.
Ryomen Sukuna's value had remained at 15%, completely motionless.
Rika Orimoto's value, on the other hand, had intermittently risen to 46%.
The overly peaceful life made it incredibly difficult for Shiratori Rin to collect emotional value.
Shiratori Rin looked at Jiraiya and the three of them, who were eating with relish, and put down his chopsticks.
He had to set sail.
Otherwise, Ryomen Sukuna would starve to death.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Shiratori Rin not using his chopsticks, Jiraiya was a bit puzzled.
"Why aren't you eating, Rin?"
Yahiko and the other two also looked at him strangely.
Shiratori Rin's gaze moved from them one by one, finally settling on Jiraiya.
Jiraiya noticed something different in his eyes and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Jiraiya-sensei, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, I plan to leave here."
As soon as Shiratori Rin finished speaking, Yahiko immediately propped his hands on the table, leaning his upper body towards Shiratori Rin: "Why? Why are you leaving us, Rin? What's wrong with you?"
Tears quickly welled up in Konan's eyes as she looked at Shiratori Rin. She bit her lower lip, not saying a word.
Nagato was unusually silent.
Jiraiya calmly looked at Shiratori Rin, waiting for Shiratori Rin's explanation.
