Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

"OK OK."

Hiruzen waved his hand, and the farce came to an end.

"First, everyone, please introduce yourselves. Name, hobbies, dreams, etc. I'll go first."

"My name is Sarutobi Hiruzen. My favorite foods are hijiki and boiled sardine balls. My dream is of course to become the Third Hokage!"

Tsunade and the other two stood in front of Hiruzen, whose eyes were filled with hope and expectation for the young man.

"Next, little ones, it's your turn."

"My name is Senju Tsunade, and my favorite food is tender chicken and... and wine..."

Tsunade's voice became a little softer. After all, it didn't sound normal for such a young girl to like drinking.

"My dream is to travel to every corner of the world and win at every casino in the world!"

Shocking remarks, drinking and gambling, even the unreliable Jiraiya felt that Tsunade was unreliable.

Hiruzen's face darkened, but this was the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and he couldn't teach her a lesson!

Jiraiya followed Tsunade and yelled, "My name is Jiraiya, my favorite food is barbecue and popsicles, and my dream is to get all the beautiful sisters in the world!"

Orochimaru felt his legs go weak after hearing what Tsunade and Jiraiya said. Would these two scare away his cheap teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Hiruzen punched Jiraiya on the head. If he couldn’t beat Tsunade, could he beat you?

While beating Jiraiya, Hiruzen gestured for Orochimaru to speak.

"Orochimaru, my favorite food is... probably apples, and my dream is..."

Seeing Hiruzen's expectant expression, Orochimaru continued, "Improve my ninjutsu to its full potential."

This is right!

Hiruzen practically slapped his thigh. This is what a ninja should be like! Look at Orochimaru, then look at the two of you. What the hell? Huh?

One dreams of picking up girls, the other dreams of becoming a monk and gambling. Does that make sense?

A ninja's dream will always change with time and environment, but Hiruzen is not overly obsessed with Tsunade and Jiraiya's words.

"Then, let's face the Genin Exams! You three don't think being a ninja is an easy profession, do you?"

Hiruzen smirked.

"what the hell!"

As expected, Jiraiya was the first to protest.

But the protest was in vain.

Hiruzen pulled out two bells tied to short ropes.

"I have two bells in my hand. If you can grab the bells, you can successfully become a ninja and join the seventh team I formed."

Hiruzen suddenly became serious.

"The world of ninjas is cruel. There are only two bells. Those who can't grab them will not only not become ninjas, but will also be punished!"

This scene instantly stunned the three people opposite, and Jiraiya was a little dazed.

“Is this true…is this true?”

Tsunade frowned, looked at Jiraiya on the left, then looked at Orochimaru on the right. Her intuition told her that it would be better to choose Orochimaru as a teammate.

"Why are you so noisy, kid?"

Before the three could react, Kozo spoke over Tsunade's shoulder, startling Jiraiya.

"What the hell! A talking bug!?"

Hiruzen had already seen Kozo a long time ago. Firstly, Kozo was a summoning beast of the Senju family, and seemed to have a close relationship with the Shodaime, so he was a generation older than him. Secondly, Kozo had not said a word, so it was highly likely that he would not affect this master-disciple game, so Hiruzen pretended not to see it.

At this time, Kozo spoke up, and Hiruzen could no longer pretend that he didn't see it.

"Mr. Gu Zang."

Hiruzen bowed slightly towards Kozo in greeting.

"Ah, Hiruzen, if you ask me, this brat is clearly not cut out to be a ninja. Just take in little Tsunade and that quiet pretty boy over there."

Hiruzen smiled slightly, knowing that Kozang was cooperating with him.

"Mr. Gu Zang, you're joking. Ninjas have to fight for their own success. If other ninjas were to decide, many geniuses would be wiped out. This is not in line with the Will of Fire set by the First Daemon when Konohagakure was founded."

"Did you hear that! Bugs, I'm a genius!"

Jiraiya bravely moved closer to Tsunade's shoulder and gave Kozo a nose, making him cower.

"Kid, I think you're good for nothing except lust. You're the last one in the class and you can't be a ninja~"

Gu Zang waved his front paws and crawled down again, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Jiraiya.

"Damn it! I'll show you! Hiruzen-sensei! Come on!"

"A hot-blooded fool."

Orochimaru quietly positioned Jiraiya, and at first he panicked, but then he thought, this was probably a test set up to test their teamwork ability, and the result should have nothing to do with whether or not they got the bell.

Otherwise, how could three kids who weren't even Genin snatch the bell from a Jonin?

Orochimaru even wanted to laugh when he thought of this. This was too unrealistic.

Therefore, the correct approach should be to first discuss the three areas in which each party is good at, and then discuss how to cooperate.

Just as Orochimaru thought about it, Hiruzen spoke.

"I can give you half an hour to discuss it. If possible, it's best to discuss two places in advance. We are all from the same village, so don't attack your own people~"

Hiruzen's smiling face immediately confirmed Orochimaru's thoughts.

But Jiraiya did not give Orochimaru the chance to start a discussion with them.

"No need! I, Jiraiya, can grab the bell all by myself!"

Jiraiya raised his thumb, looking very proud.

Even Hiruzen had to look up to this white-haired boy. This kind of will to move forward is very rare in any era and any industry.

But immediately, Jiraiya slapped Hiruzen in the face.

"If I get the bell, please go on a date with me and I'll give you one!"

Jiraiya turned to look at Tsunade and said with a grin.

There was a big well-shaped character on Tsunade's forehead, and it was obvious that she had reached the limit of her tolerance for this pervert.

"Just stop it, Jiraiya!"

when--

Another punch flew away. Tsunade's physical fitness at this time was far superior to that of her peers.

After knocking Jiraiya away, Tsunade looked at Kozo on her shoulder.

"Mr. Kozang...you will help me, right?"

"No, Tsunade-chan, Hiruzen said that to become a ninja you have to fight for it yourself."

Gu Zang said lazily, then jumped off Tsunade's shoulder and crawled to the side to watch.

Hiruzen nodded implicitly to Kozan. As a summoning beast from the same era as the Shogaeng and the Nidaime, Kozan's performance was obviously worthy of his recognition and respect.

Orochimaru cast a curious look at Kozang. The respect in Hiruzen's tone made him guess about Kozang's identity and strength.

Moreover, he had never seen the body of the ancient Tibetan water bear.

But the matter of Gu Zang is not suitable for consideration for the time being. Right now, I still have to discuss with Tsunade how to cooperate. As for Jiraiya, that idiot can be treated as a pig rushing around.

Orochimaru pulled Tsunade aside, and Hiruzen didn't bother to eavesdrop.

"Tsunade, listen to me..."
