14 Training ground and chakra nature tes (1/2)
{As a reminder, here's how it works:
”Normal talk”
'Thought'
*Tailed-beasts and the like talk*

Soon after Hiruzen came over, Jiraiya and Sakumo soon followed. 'Surely, they passed the test, my cute little disciple really did some work… He thought outside the box and prepared an ambush on Minato-kun, even when his opponent pulled out a surprising technique, he was still calm enough to react in time'
Sakumo was looking at him with a stern gaze, analyzing him in his mind, while thinking about how to teach him. 'sigh, I can't plan fully yet, as I don't know all his chakra natures, but because magnet style is the combination of wind release and earth release, it should be safe too assume he can use those… earth release is definitely a yes, as proved by the earth release: hiding like a mole technique, but I have no idea how proficient he is with either of them, I should test him as soon as possible'
Although his soon to be pupil lost, Jiraiya was no less impressed with Minato, than Sakumo was with Yoshio. You could almost smell the anticipation from the teachers, but they were soon interrupted by Hiruzen clearing his throat, snapping them out of their daze. ”Minato-kun, Yoshio-kun, you both have passed this test splendidly, exceeding not only the requirements to become genin, but also broke my assessment of your abilities, which are clearly beyond genin… you have therefore passed the test, and will from now on be considered adults and ninja of Konohagakure…”
”Thank you hokage-sama!” Both Minato and I shouted at Hiruzen, and while we might have expected it and looked forward to it with anticipation for six months, it was still something else to actually achieve it.
”While I have already accepted you, it is not me who makes the decision, if Jiraiya-san and Sakumo-san wants to take you on as their disciples, but guessing from their expressions, they will probably accept you” Hiruzen chuckled after the last sentence, probably because of Jiraiya and Sakumo still being deep in thought, only realizing shortly after, that it was their turn to speak.
”You bet, how could I, the legendary toad sage of mount Myoboku, let such talent go to waste… he might not be a cute girl, but I'll take him!”
”sigh, Jiraiya-san, you never stop thinking about girls huh, how is it going with Tsunade by the way, I heard she got a boyfriend… what was his name again? Dan Kato, right?”
”Urgh”
”Haha, you are so easy Jiraiya… anyway, back on topic, of course I will also accept Yoshio-kun as my apprentice, if he is willing that is”
