Hiruzen: Did you confirm if Seiko-chan is aware of the Fox?

Jiraya: Yep, we sparred a bit and she confirmed she knew when I had a kunai to her throat.

Hiruzen:

Hiruzen: You did WHAT-

the hokage's perfect team formulation is kind of biting him in the ass. it turns out that actually dropping a hyper competent team on his least responsible student is going to backfire greatly.

The Minato chapter was good. Definitely showed how dude was OP. Glad I voted for him in the popularity poll😅. It's crazy seeing how strong he was at that age. On Quora I found this old post cementing how cold Minato was(last pic) . Dude definitely was 1of1 💯. The world is definitely lucky he didn't grow old

Something I failed to realize/remember even though I read the series during it's run, is that the Stone village had two Jinchuriki 😭. What makes this insane is that you should very well know it's that same village who told folks to flee on sight if they see Minato 😅(Which is still the coldest respect you can show someone). That shit is so crazy. Imagine you're in a war and you have two nuclear bombs just waiting. But yet you tell everyone to get the hell outta dodge if you see 1 man😭. That's nothing but respect for him🫡.

A day in the life of Team Jiraiya

Teuchi and Mikoto are training. Jiraiya and Minato are heading to the training place. But, Jiraiya notices the sauna and goes inside the women’s section. He gets kicked out.

Jiraiya: Can I join you girls?

Girl A: Ahhh! Get out of here!

Girl B: Leave, you pervert!

Girl C: No men allowed!

The three girls notice Minato who is covering his eyes.

Girl A: Hello? No need to cover your eyes. We’re all girls.

Girl B: Please, join us.

Girl C: But, close the door behind you. There’s a weird guy out there.

Jiraiya:… (eavesdropping from behind the door)

Minato: (hasn’t taken his hands off his eyes) You’re making a mistake, miss. I’m not-

Girl A: Did you just move here?

Girl B: We know all of the girls in The Hidden Leaf Village.

Girl C: How old are you?

Minato: I’m 13.

Jiraiya: They think he’s a girl?!

Minato: *They think I’m a girl?* Ummm, I’m sorry. But, I should probably get back to Master Jiraiya.

A few minutes later…

Teuchi: Hahahaha! They thought you were a girl?

Minato: It’s not that funny. *sniff*

Mikoto: He’s right. Don’t laugh at him, Teuchi.

Jiraiya: I mean, look at it this way Minato. They mistook you for a girl because, you’re just that pretty. I mean, come to think of it? I honestly thought you were a girl the first time I saw you.

Minato: You did? *starts crying even louder*

Mikoto: Master Jiraiya, you’re not helping! *gives Minato a comforting hug* Don’t cry, Minato. Who cares what those three girls think.

A random Hidden Leaf Villager passes by: Hey! Why’s that little girl crying?

The Third Kazekage: Excuse me. Your blonde daughter looks pretty enough. Would you be interested in an arranged marriage? Rasa, here. (Pushes a quiet 14 year old Rasa in front of him) is next in line on becoming Kazekage. His family is quite prestigious.

Teuchi: Hahahaha! They all think you’re a girl?

Mikoto: Stop it!

Another kakashi focussed comic!

This will be my last naruto comic for a little bit, but I had so much fun making these that the odds of me never doing another one are slim. I’m going to gather them all up to make a zine out of soon.

I hope you enjoy this last one. This one is a little more loosey goosey.

Look at this new official art 👀

Love the new chapter! I really love all the dynamics, especially Jiraiya walking in and accidentally ruining his own dynamic with them. I really get the feeling that it never occurred to him that his students could *not* trust him. Like, I don't think it even occurred to him that his students wouldn't already respect him and be vying for his attention like he did in his old team. You mentioned him seeing Seiko as like Orochimaru due to the genius thing, and im just. So curious. Was he doing the immature equivalent thing of trying to one up a kid as an f u to his childhood rival? Does he want Seiko to like/respect him to feel vindicated? That's going to end interestingly. I wonder what it looks like from the outside, that his team watch their backs around him and eye him like he'll do something, and he thinks it's normal. Do they they think it's funny that a Sanin can't get a bunch of kids to like him? Are they concerned that there is no teacher student bonds forming like is traditional and expected? What does it mean in konoha society for a genin student to fundamentally not trust their teacher? For the entire team to stand with them and close ranks with their Sensei on the outside? Idk I feel like people are going to form Opinions about it

LONG WINDED RESPONSE! warning you all now! will contain spoilers related to my characterization of jiraiya!

I really get the feeling that it never occurred to him that his students could not trust him.

jiraiya doesn't really understand what position these kids are coming from, nor does he understand on any deeper level What It Means to be a jonin teacher. or a teacher worthy of trust in general. this isn't me bashing him, i think that while he CAN be a fun and engaging teacher, he doesn't really respect the impact he has on these kids' lives.

with his sensei he already respected him simply because he was the hokage. and, on top of that, hiruzen was an agreeable affable person. he commanded respect easily and his students trusted him not to lead them astray (at least while they were genin). jiraiya has taken this dynamic for granted and believes that to be the default. it is not.

as for the ame orphans, he was ALL THEY HAD. his mercy in choosing to teach them ingratiated them significantly more to him from the get go. this isn't the case for his genin team. his genin team just got some random guy who everyone says is strong, and now they're having to feel him out for if he's a good person and good teacher.

Was he doing the immature equivalent thing of trying to one up a kid as an f u to his childhood rival? Does he want Seiko to like/respect him to feel vindicated? That's going to end interestingly.

for jiraiya, i think what he did was totally normal and fine. yeah she's just a pipsqueak genin, but she's advanced for her age. she can handle a little spar.

in my head, jonin and chunin do use spars as a private space to check on each other, to check each other's loyalties too. shinobi are always more honest with a weapon in hand, the saying goes. so jiraiya just sees this as a opprotunity to privately ask if seiko knows what he and the hokage thinks she knows.

spoiler:

the hokage did not ask jiraiya to figure it out in the way jiraiya did. the hokage just mentioned that he suspected she knew, and that he wanted to know if she did or not. that sort of thing is important to accommodate for considering no one else in kushina's age group is aware of what she is. ill go over this in a later chapter, but there's your answer to if the hokage is trying to scare poor seiko half to death.

What does it mean in konoha society for a genin student to fundamentally not trust their teacher? For the entire team to stand with them and close ranks with their Sensei on the outside? Idk I feel like people are going to form Opinions about it

:)

ty for your ask!!

i love getting asks its like i got a little letter from a friend who lives far away and who's asking after me and my children's health. very very fun. lmk if you have any other ideas or thoughts about the kids! or of the side characters like the ino-shika-cho trio. im excited to write more of them.

Team Jiraiya

Minato: I’m surprised we managed to survive that. I don’t even know how the three of us are still alive. How are we even unharmed?

Teuchi: Perhaps we should all die next time. (Sarcastic voice)

Mikoto: You could’ve dodged faster, Teuchi.
