Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

Minato had never imagined that his team would disband in such a manner.

"Hahaha... Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but I can't believe Jiraiya just left you behind in the village while he went off to the front lines," Xin said, still chuckling.

"Cut it out," Uchiha Mikoto chided, nudging Xin with her elbow. Minato was clearly upset, and Xin's laughter wasn't helping.

Kushina couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"It's fine, go ahead and laugh. I didn't expect things to turn out this way either," Minato said with a wry smile. He wasn't sure what to do next.

Should he try to find a new team to join, or stay in the village to train and improve his skills? Maybe he should pass the Chunin exams first and then head to the battlefield to find his unreliable teacher, Jiraiya.

Little did Minato know that while he was left behind in Konoha, his teacher Jiraiya was locked in intense combat with the Hidden Rain Village's ninjas.

After fighting until the war's end, Jiraiya stayed behind due to a ridiculous prophecy about a "savior," dedicating his time to training three orphans from the Land of Rain.

And Minato? He was left in Konoha for years.

Is this what you call a reliable teacher? Xin thought. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Xin speculated that the reason Minato learned the Flying Thunder God technique so early was likely because Jiraiya felt guilty for neglecting him. After the war, Jiraiya probably tried to make it up to Minato by teaching him the technique.

Waving his hand to signal that he had stopped laughing, Xin turned the meat on the grill and asked, "So, what's your plan now?"

"What about you guys?" Minato asked in return.

Xin glanced at Uchiha Mikoto and smiled. "Same as before: train to get stronger, take on a few missions to earn some money, and accumulate enough merit points to exchange for the jutsu I want. That's pretty much it."

With the war approaching, the standards for the Chunin exams would be lowered, but Xin had no interest in participating under such conditions. Passing the exams would mean being sent to the front lines.

Is grilled meat not delicious enough, or are the girls not pretty enough? he mused. Why risk my life on the battlefield?

And the worst part? Even if you fought with all your might and earned military merits, you might not receive the corresponding rewards. That was the most infuriating thing of all.

Don't doubt it Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are more than capable of pulling such a shameless move, Xin thought. And Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado aren't any better.

"Count me in!" Minato said, seizing the opportunity.
