Luckily, Nawaki had only been injured and not killed. While he'd have some scars to show for it, Jiraiya was just relieved that the situation hadn't turned fatal.
"It's not Jiraiya's fault. I wasn't paying attention-it was my mistake, not his," Nawaki said, trying to smooth things over.
He could see how uneasy Jiraiya felt, so he quickly changed the subject. "So, Xin, how does it feel to be a jonin-sensei? Pretty cool, huh?"
Nawaki had always dreamed of becoming a jonin-sensei himself one day. He imagined leading the next generation of Konoha's shinobi, guiding them on missions, and teaching them how to grow. But he wasn't even a jonin yet, and Xin had already become a jonin- sensei.
"It's alright," Xin said with a smug grin. "Basically, I just accept missions, relax, and watch the others do the work while I get paid. Pretty simple."
"Wait, are you serious?"
Both Nawaki and Minato stared at him, dumbfounded. Was being a jonin-sensei really that easy?
"You don't have to train your students?" Jiraiya asked, raising an eyebrow.
Xin shrugged. "I'm still just a kid myself. What if I end up teaching them the wrong things? Plus, two of my students are from powerful clans. Ryoji Uchiha and Hyuga Suzune don't need me to teach them anything-they've got their families for that."
"..."
That was... unusual. Then again, he wasn't wrong. Training someone like Ryoji Uchiha was one thing, but how could Xin possibly teach Suzune from the Hyuga clan? He didn't even know the first thing about Gentle Fist. It made sense to let their families handle their training.
"But what about the other one? The civilian kid, Aida Sui?" Jiraiya asked, curious.
"You mean Aida Sui?"
Xin thought for a moment, then shook his head with a sigh. "That kid is kind of like Nawaki. I've taught him the basics, and pointed him in the right direction. The rest is just up to him-he needs to finish missions, earn some credit, then either get proper training in swordsmanship or find ninjutsu that suits him."
Xin continued, "But Aida's got a mindset issue. He's desperate for the approval of Ryoji Uchiha and Hyuga Suzune, and he wants to be on their level. I've tried correcting him a few times, but it doesn't seem to help."
Honestly, why does he have to compare himself to others?
People like Ryoji and Suzune have family legacies and resources. Aida's a talented kid, but he needs to be more realistic.
"He sounds like a bit of a problem child. Looks like you'll have your hands full with him in the future," Jiraiya chuckled, rubbing his chin with amusement. He already had images of Xin being driven crazy by his students.
Too bad for Jiraiya, Xin didn't care at all. He shrugged indifferently. "Just to clarify-I'm not their teacher, only their team captain. I don't have any obligation to make sure they succeed. I just need to do my job, and the rest is on them."
Xin's frustration finally surfaced. Normally, he kept a relaxed demeanor, but when he was with Minato and Nawaki, he allowed himself to vent about things like this.
