Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Isn't that more dangerous?"

Tsunade held her head in her hands, scratching it in frustration, "What the hell is that Jiraiya doing?"

At the same time, Jiraiya came to a magical place and saw a big flower snake and a big toad confronting each other. He rushed up with overflowing confidence.

Facing the giant flower snake that had already eaten him up the food chain, the underage Toad Wentai was covered in cold sweat.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I, Lord Jiraiya, will win this battle!"

Just as Jiraiya took a stance, the giant flower snake hissed, rushed towards him, and opened its mouth to bite him.

Jiraiya easily dodged the attack of the giant snake and threw it away by its tail.

"Humph, that's the extent of a small fry."

Volume 7: Chapter : First C-Rank Mission

In the Hidden Village of Myoboku Mountain, Jiraiya met Fukasaku under the guidance of Gamabunta, and learned that the great toad sage had predicted his arrival. He signed a spiritual contract with Myoboku Mountain and began to practice in Myoboku Mountain at the request of Fukasaku.

Jiraiya, who originally disagreed, agreed when he thought that he could become stronger by training here.

Of course, Jiraiya did not practice in Myoboku Mountain all the time. While waiting for the next prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, he returned to Konoha and told Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade Orochimaru that he would spend most of his time practicing in Myoboku Mountain.

"Myoboku-san? The Myoboku-san that's said to be one of the three sacred places along with the Wet Bones Forest Dragon Cave?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked and the pipe in his hand fell onto the desk. He never thought that Jiraiya would have such an adventure. Being able to practice in Myoboku Mountain is a rare opportunity.

"That's right, I'm currently training under the guidance of Boss Fukasaku and Big Sister Shima."

Jiraiya nodded, smiled proudly, looked at Tsunade and Orochimaru and said: "Just wait, I will become stronger in the future! I will definitely make you look at me differently!"

Mt. Miaomu...

Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya and thought about his future path, whether he should follow the path of Orochimaru in the original work. Many of the ninjutsu mastered by Orochimaru in the original work could only be used after signing a summoning contract with Ryuchido.

It seems that the most powerful summoning beasts in this world are from the three holy places. She definitely can't go to Myoboku Mountain, and the Wet Bone Forest... can also be crossed out. The only choice seems to be Ryuchi Cave.

However, Longdilong's Sage Mode is too dangerous.

The reason why Orochimaru turned into a half-human, half-snake appearance was probably because he accepted the sage chakra of the White Snake Sage, causing his body to turn into a snake. He found that he could not master the Sage Mode of the Ryuchi Cave, and then escaped from the Ryuchi Cave, thus avoiding being eaten?

Just when Orochimaru was completely immersed in his own world, a shadow loomed over him. He looked up and saw Jiraiya with an unhappy look on his face.

"what happened?"

"Tell me what's wrong? You're a guy who doesn't listen to others!"

Jiraiya glared at Orochimaru angrily and pointed at her. He wanted to see envious expressions from Orochimaru and Tsunade, but he never expected Tsunade's reaction to be so indifferent, and he never expected that Orochimaru didn't listen to what he said at all.

"In that case, why don't you show us the results of your training at Myoboku Mountain?"

Orochimaru suggested with a smile.

"Okay! This is what you said!"

Jiraiya flexed his arms with great enthusiasm, "Let's see the results of Jiraiya-sama's training!"

"Sarutobi-sensei..."

Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who showed no intention of stopping Jiraiya.

"Psychic art!"

Jiraiya bit his thumb and smeared the blood on the palm of his hand. He made seals with his hands and slapped the ground. A small toad with orange spots on its back, four legs and a tail that had not completely disappeared, which was between a tadpole and a toad, was summoned by Jiraiya.

The air suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the little toad kicking its legs on the ground and swinging its tail, as if observing the surrounding environment. The sound of crows came from outside, as if mocking Jiraiya.

Is this the result of Jiraiya's training at Myoboku Mountain?

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the little toad dragging its tail and crawling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Mistake, mistake! It's a mistake!"

Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, his face flushing red.

"Jiraiya, is this your true strength?"

Tsunade put one hand on her hip, trying hard to hold back her laughter but couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

"This is not my true strength..."

Jiraiya lowered his head and looked at the little toad on the ground, then canceled his summoning and sent it back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen very much agreed with Jiraiya training in Myoboku Mountain, but he did not agree with Jiraiya training in Myoboku Mountain for a long time. He hoped that Jiraiya could balance his time between Konoha and Myoboku Mountain.

Jiraiya came to this conclusion after discussing this with Boss Fukasaku and Big Sister Shima.

Fukasaku and Shima also knew very well that they could not let Jiraiya train in Myoboku Mountain for a long time. Toads and humans had different living habits in all aspects. Moreover, it was not known when the master's prophecy about Jiraiya would come true.

In this regard, Shima deeply doubted whether the demented old man had lost the ability to predict the future, but he did predict Jiraiya's arrival.

training ground

Orochimaru and his shadow clones were practicing ninjutsu, while Tsunade tried to use the shadow clones to assist in the practice in order to improve her strength faster.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who had created two shadow clones and wanted to create more, and reminded her: "When using shadow clones for training, you need to be within your tolerance range. Tsunade, you must pay attention to this."

She would not doubt that Tsunade, who has the Uzumaki and Hand-holding bloodlines, does not have enough chakra to use shadow clones for training. Excessive training while they are still growing is not a good thing.

The reason why the average life expectancy in the Warring States Period was less than 30 years old was probably because people had to practice desperately in order to survive.

Practicing in such a reckless way will not only affect your lifespan, but also your physical development.

Wait, it affects physical development...

Orochimaru looked down at his chest. Wouldn't that be better?

"Orochimaru, you're too long-winded. I'll pay attention!"

Tsunade's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she said impatiently that her grandmother was nagging enough on a normal day, why did she feel that Orochimaru was even more nagging than her grandmother?

However, she didn't dislike Orochimaru's caring nagging.

-------------------------------------

The Tea Kingdom, located south of the Fire Kingdom, is a peninsula country with rich fisheries.

Most people in the Tea Kingdom rely on fishing for their livelihood. Recently, a group of pirates who specialize in robbing fishing boats have appeared from nowhere, causing great suffering to the fishermen in the Tea Kingdom. The Daimyo of the Tea Kingdom, knowing that his tax revenue would be affected if this continued, sent his retainers to Konoha to issue a mission.

"I understand. I will send a ninja team to deal with the pirates as soon as possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the mission information and wanted to pick up his pipe to take a puff, but he felt it was not appropriate.

"Hokage-sama, I leave everything to you!"

The retainers of the Daimyo of the Tea Country placed their hopes of eliminating the pirates on the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Sarutobi-sensei!"

The retainers of the Daimyo of the Tea Country had just left, and Jiraiya, who had returned to Konoha from Mount Myoboku, came to the Hokage's office to greet Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Jiraiya, you're back. I have a mission for you, Orochimaru, and Tsunade."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya who had returned from Mount Myoboku, and handed the mission issued by the retainers of the Daimyo of the Tea Kingdom to Jiraiya. He decided to disguise himself and follow them to carry out this mission.

"Could it be another D-rank mission like finding cats and dogs?" Jiraiya looked at the document in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand with disdain. "I don't want to do that kind of boring mission! How could Master Jiraiya do such a simple mission?"

"It's a C-rank mission. This time, we need to go to the Tea Country and eliminate the pirates who are robbing fishing boats."

Sarutobi Hiruzen placed the documents in his hand on the table.

"C-rank mission? Aren't there any more difficult missions?"

Jiraiya, who had never performed a C-rank mission, felt that there was no difference between C-rank and D-rank missions.

"Genin can only do D-rank and C-rank missions. Above that are missions that only Chunin and Jonin can do!"

Seeing Jiraiya looking down on C-rank missions, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "Alright, go get ready!"

Volume 8: Chapter : Orochimaru, who knows a little about cooking

In front of the Konoha gate, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, carrying backpacks, were waiting for the captain of this mission.

Sarutobi Hiruzen used transformation techniques to transform into his younger self, holding a book with a plum blossom in a golden vase on the cover, and walked up to the three people.

Sarutobi-sensei, you...

Orochimaru recognized the book in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand at a glance. It was a book that had been recently reprinted. The publishing house had urged her to write the contents of the next volume, which showed how popular it was.

She was not surprised at all that Sarutobi Hiruzen would read this book. Not to mention that Sarutobi Hiruzen was now in his prime, not to mention that he was a very introverted and voyeuristic person, so it was normal for him to like reading this kind of book that was not allowed to be read by people under the age of eighteen.

"Are you Sarutobi-sensei's son?"

Jiraiya guessed as he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

boom--!

"Idiot! Can't you see he's Sarutobi-sensei?"

Tsunade punched Jiraiya on the head, unable to believe that Jiraiya couldn't recognize Sarutobi-sensei.

"I'm just kidding, kidding!"

Jiraiya covered his head and thought he would not try to be clever if he had known this earlier.

"Listen carefully, this is your first C-rank mission. You must call me Captain Sarutobi during the mission. Do you understand?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the book in his hand, with an abnormal expression on his face. He couldn't help but glance at the book, as if something in the book was attracting him and tempting him to continue reading.

"Oil shrimp! Tsunade Orochimaru, let me show you the results of my training during this period!"

Jiraiya said this with full energy and confidence, thinking back to the embarrassing situation last time, he was determined to make them and Sarutobi teacher look at him with admiration this time.

"The result of your training? Summon a frog to swim in the sea water?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with suspicion. Last time, she said that she wanted to let them see the results of their training, but she ended up summoning a small toad with a tail.

"Just wait and see, Tsunade! The results of my training will definitely shock you!"

Jiraiya had a confident smile on his face.

"Captain Sarutobi, what about the report from the office?"

Orochimaru remembered that the Hokage's work was very busy. Not only were there many documents waiting for approval, but there was also a constant stream of reports.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, who he had called to the Hokage's office to help, a smile appeared on his face without any burden. He was not worried at all that there would be a pile of reports when he returned.

Isn't the purpose of the Hokage's assistant to assist the Hokage?

He led his students and apprentices to carry out missions, and he was also setting an example to prove to everyone the feasibility of a senior ninja teacher leading three students who had just graduated from the ninja school.

As for Danzo Shimura.

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that since he established the Anbu training department "Root" under the name of training Anbu, there were some things that even he, the Hokage, did not know.

Shimura Danzo also wanted to recruit outstanding talents from the major families in the village to join the Root, but this proposal was rejected by him, but he knew very well that Shimura Danzo had not given up.

If I could be like the Second Hokage...

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the iron-blooded tactics of the Second Hokage, but he was not the Second Hokage after all, and could not do that to him. He could not take action against Danzo Shimura, who was devoted to Konoha. Even if he wanted to ask him what he was hiding, he had to think twice.

Did you hand the work over to someone else?

A hint of understanding flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen like this, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.

"Okay, let's go!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen led the three out of the gate of Konoha and headed to the Tea Kingdom, located south of the Fire Kingdom.

The four of them traveled at a fast pace. When night fell, they arrived near the border of the Fire Nation and stopped to rest near a water source.

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

Orochimaru formed seals with his hands and pressed his hands, which were flashing with lightning, on the surface of the river. The flowing river water was the most suitable conductor. In an instant, dazzling lightning flashed on the surface of the river. Fish twisted their bodies and floated on the water, with smoke coming out of their bodies.

Did Orochimaru master the ninjutsu recorded in the scroll in such a short time? He is indeed Orochimaru!

Sarutobi Hiruzen admired in his heart that he was no longer surprised by Orochimaru's growth because Orochimaru had already surprised him enough.

"Enough is enough! These fish are enough."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hands repeatedly to signal Orochimaru to stop. If he continued to electrocute her, he would probably lose a lot of fish.
