Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

where am I?

What am I going to do?

And it was at this moment that Orochimaru showed such an expression, which was quite rare for him.

Jiraiya, who was watching from a distance, immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, Orochimaru, you've finally met your match! You've finally met your match? Ahahahahahaha~~~"

Ever since he learned that Orochimaru was going to lead Uehara Shimei's team, he had been waiting for this moment.

I've already rehearsed the words, phrases, and tone countless times in my mind.

It was hasty before, but now, it has finally come in handy.

As soon as he said this, countless followers appeared in the live chat.

"Orochimaru, you've finally met your match?"

"Orochimaru, you've finally met your match?"

"Orochimaru, you've finally met your match?"

……

"Hahaha, that's brilliant. Jiraiya would never have fallen for that trick, but Orochimaru overthought things and ended up getting himself into trouble."

"It's really impressive that such young genin can use composite ninjutsu at this level."

"To be fair, composite ninjutsu may seem simple and powerful, but mastering it is not something that can be achieved overnight or easily."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's greatest strength as a Kage, and the reason he was hailed as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," was his powerful composite ninjutsu, which could combine all five elemental attributes.

……

In the video, Jiraiya loudly mocks without any mercy.

His movements and expressions were incredibly exaggerated, as if he had finally vented some, or rather, several, pent-up anger.

His pride was palpable.

After all, Uehara Shimei and Namikaze Minato were both his good disciples.

The disciple beat up Orochimaru, which is roughly equivalent to him beating up that arrogant guy himself. There's nothing wrong with that.

Even Tsunade, seeing Orochimaru suffer a rare setback—not because he was overwhelmed by her in terms of raw strength, but because she was outmaneuvered by his most formidable cunning—was astounded.

Seeing his teammate looking completely bewildered and questioning his existence, he couldn't help but smile.

Interesting, really interesting.

Even Orochimaru himself was speechless after the initial awkwardness subsided.

"So, there's no such thing as the D formation or the E tactic; it's still the same old setup, right?"

"Yes."

Uehara Shinmei readily admitted it.

Orochimaru let out a long breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Given his magnanimity, he certainly wouldn't be the type to fuss over such things.

My heart was filled with surprise and delight; the thought of being embarrassed simply didn't exist, let alone feeling angry or dissatisfied.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and even the viewers in the comments section didn't really believe that Uehara Shinmei could defeat them at this point.

What moved him deeply was that

This little guy may be even more outstanding than previously thought.

Furthermore, this excellence lies not in ninja talent, nor in monstrous intelligence or unique perspectives on problems.

It is his character that is the problem.

Knowing what you want and sticking to it from beginning to end, without being easily swayed by the words of others, external temptations, or external circumstances.

This is something that even many veteran ninjas cannot do.

Orochimaru waved his hand, beckoning Tsunade and the other two over, and at the same time gathered all six of them together.

His complexion returned to normal.

"I originally intended to teach you a lesson, to show you that you can't easily target strong opponents just by setting up a formation or arranging some tactics."

I want you to understand,

A truly elite ninja is not only someone with powerful techniques, faster speed, more chakra, or more combat and mission experience.

In terms of willpower, intelligence, insight, and decision-making, it is strong in every aspect without any weaknesses.

Furthermore, they all possess powerful trump cards that allow them to survive in any situation.

I want you to know that, with your current level, you're actually still a long way off.

Lest you think that because you managed to ambush Jiraiya once, you've become arrogant and will go on to challenge stronger opponents, thus losing your lives.

But now it seems there's no need to worry about that anymore.

Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the day when you become famous throughout the ninja world.

Also, besides Rope Tree, you two can call me teacher from now on.”

Orochimaru stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with admiration.

They felt absolutely no embarrassment or shame about being covered in soot.

After he finished speaking,

Jiraiya, unusually, composed himself and put away his nonchalant expression.

He addressed the three men, Minato, seriously:

"Hizashi, your talent and strength are both excellent, and your Byakugan is a top-tier bloodline limit. There will definitely be a place for you in the team."

But you should try your best to integrate, get along well with your teammates, and build bonds.

And you five, you also need to try to accept new companions and expand your relationships. Don't keep your focus and thoughts solely on the Ninja Academy.

"Yes" X6.

The six people nodded in agreement.

Hizashi didn't participate in the battle just now, and Jiraiya was clearly dissatisfied with that.

They were dissatisfied that Hyuga Hizashi had not taken the initiative to cooperate with the tactics, and they were also dissatisfied that Uehara Shimei and the others had not practiced with Hizashi in advance.

After a lecture,

Orochimaru then spat out a thick, long, giant scroll from his mouth and placed it in front of Mikoto, saying:

"Uehara-kun, and Nawaki, you can come to the teacher and get whatever you want. I'm not going to give you anything. Mikoto, you can sign this."

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at Shiki Uehara, and after seeing him nod slightly,

He immediately bit his finger and, with a look of joy, wrote his name on the spirit scroll in Ryuchi Cave.

Before awakening the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan could only use Fire Release, Taijutsu, and throwing techniques.

Even physical skills and throwing techniques actually require dynamic vision to unleash their true power.

At this stage, having a powerful summoning beast is undoubtedly a huge boost to one's strength.

He gave Orochimaru a gift upon meeting him.

Jiraiya scratched the back of his head, his face turning into a bitter expression.

Of his three subordinates, Minato was his direct disciple, so we won't discuss that for now.

Nonou is a medical ninja, while Hizashi practices a family secret technique that is unique to him and seems impossible for him to teach.

However, while Jiraiya was also troubled,

Suddenly, Tsunade stepped forward, took out two scrolls of medical ninjutsu from the sealing scroll, and handed them to Hizashi and Nonou respectively, saying:

"Here you go. If you have any questions, you can come to the Thousand Hands Clan's territory to find me."

Seeing this, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, glanced gratefully at Tsunade, and then his expression and demeanor became unreliable again.

He shouted with a lewd expression:

"To celebrate the formation of Jiraiya's team, Orochimaru is treating everyone to a barbecue restaurant."

As he spoke, he grabbed Uehara Siming again.

"Haha, you even managed to fool that stinky snake. Well done! I'll send you a set of collector's edition photo albums later, in color, you know."

Chapter 82 The Golden Duo Makes its Debut, Effortlessly Doing What They Need

After the class assignments were completed, Mikoto and her two friends quickly embarked on a busy mission schedule.

Snake, who is usually very generous and open-minded, was surprisingly stubborn this time.

Two whole years

He personally supervised and led the three, starting with the most boring D-rank missions.

I've completed almost every level, type, and difficulty of mission, including things like finding cats, picking up trash, and helping farmers cut grass.

On the other side, Minato, led by Jiraiya, was in a similar situation.

The two legendary Sannin seemed to agree that they needed to accumulate experience and mature.

We need to start from the basics and accumulate experience step by step, turning the theories learned in school into real, hands-on experiences.

They did not force their children to grow too quickly just because their strength had already surpassed that of ordinary Chunin.

In fact, they were even intentionally or unintentionally suppressing the group, preventing them from showing off too much.

Surprisingly, Uehara Siming did not object or show much resentment.

He does often appear impatient and doesn't want to waste time on trivial matters.

However, when necessary, one can also patiently strengthen oneself.

Like a seasoned hunter waiting for his prey to pass by.
