chapter 36

Chapter 36 Small Is Also Very Cute

[Death Forest. ]

[Aburame Shino assessed the combat power of both sides, and after calmly analyzing the situation, he slowly said to Ash; "What scroll do you need? Maybe we don't need to fight."]

["As for the scrolls, we've got them together!"]

[Ash showed the Earth Scroll in his hand, just like the eighth class, they also gathered the scrolls long ago. ]

[He needs it now. ]

[It's fighting. ]

[Fight with different opponents and accumulate experience. ]

[Pity. ]

[He originally thought that Inuzuka Kiba was a good opponent, but he didn't expect to be so vulnerable. ]

[Ash raises his arm. ]

[Pikachu understands, leaps for life, and jumps onto Ash's shoulder. ]

["Wait a moment!"]

[Inuzuka Kiba panted and looked at Ash who was about to leave. He forced himself to take a step forward and said loudly and unconvincingly: "I haven't lost yet! I... I can continue to fight!"]

["..."]

[Ash stops when he hears this, turns around, and lowers the brim of his hat. ]

[Said in a deep voice: "My goal is to become a Pokémon Master! Therefore, I will participate in the Quartz Convention held by Cloud Shinobi Village in a while. If you want to challenge me, you can sign up."]

["However, if you want to participate in the conference, you must first challenge our eight gym owners and get the corresponding badges."]

["I hope you have this strength."]

[After saying that, Ash turned around and prepared to leave. ]

[Just took two steps. ]

[As if remembering something, he said without looking back: "By the way, after the exam is over, you can send your Pokémon to the Celia Hotel. Our Cloud Shinobi Village has reached a cooperation with the boss Celia. A Pokémon healing machine is placed inside."]

["It can quickly heal Pokémon's injuries."]

Tsunade: "It turns out that Celia Hotel still has this business, no wonder it makes so much money!"

Orochimaru: "What? Are you greedy?"

In fact, with Tsunade's strength and medical ninjutsu attainments.

Logically speaking.

There should be no shortage of money.

However, she has a bad habit - gambling.

People gave her the nickname the Legendary Sucker.

No matter how much money one has, it is not enough for people who are contaminated with gambling.

"Ahem!"

Tsunade blushed slightly as her mind was broken. She crossed her arms, flicked a certain fair part twice, and said in a muffled voice: "What are you greedy for? Do you understand what I call technical investment?! With my medical skills, I can definitely take the hotel business to the next level!"

Celia: "Lady Tsunade, you're welcome to join us. By the way, Lady Tsunade, do you know how to deal with sprites?"

Tsunade: "I really don't know that."

Tsunade: "But don't worry, since the sprites are on the same side as the gods, they are the common enemy of our entire ninja world. If something happens to the Kingdom of Witches, we will not let it go!"

Celia: "Then I would like to thank you all in advance!"

[Exterior of the Forest of Death. ]

["Um..."]

["Eating meatballs is best paired with Anko soup!"]

[Mitarashi Anko, the examiner of the second exam, took a sip from the can of Anko soup and raised her head with satisfaction. ]

["Wait until you finish eating."]

["It's time for me to go to the tower and wait for them."]

["In the exam, those who move quickly can reach the tower in one day."]

[Mitarashi Anko tossed the bamboo skewer away after eating the meatballs. ]

[Bang! ]

[The bamboo stick is firmly stuck in the tree. ]

["Finish!"]

["The symbol of Konoha!"]

[Mitarashi Anko looks at the pattern she made with a bamboo stick and smiles. ]

[Sometimes, happiness is so simple. ]

["Miss Anko!"]

["No! Something big happened!"]

[A Chūnin suddenly appeared in front of Anko and reported: "Three corpses were found, and the way of death was very strange. Please be sure to go and see it!"]

[The way of death is weird? ]

[ Mitarashi Anko followed this Chūnin to the scene with a puzzled look on her face. ]

["Judging from the items and documents they carried with them, they are Kusagakure ninjas who came to take the exam."]

["but..."]

["Their faces are gone, as if they have been dissolved!"]

[The Chūnin Reported. ]

[I can't be wrong! This is his ninjutsu! ]

[Why is he here? ]

[Mitarashi Anko realized who the murderer was the first time she saw the deceased. ]

[She shouted to the Chūnin beside her: "Now we are in trouble. Go and inform Lord Hokage and ask for support from at least two teams of Anbu troops!"]

Jiraiya said angrily: "Who is it? I'm so curious!"

Orochimaru: "..."

Fourth Raikage: "Orochimaru, why did you keep wandering back? Is it interesting to go to the Chūnin exam to bully a group of Genin?"

Tsunade: "That's right!"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked around: "Anko, are you looking down on your teacher? You only asked for the support of two teams of Anbu troops to deliver food to me, even though you knew it was me."

Mitarashi Anko accepted the lesson with an open mind: "Yes,I will pay attention next time."

next time...

I'm going to call all Kaido, Aokiji, Kakashi and Anbu to see how you run!

In the light curtain, the camera switches.

Came to the perspective of the trio from Team 7.

[Outer circle of the forest of death. ]

[The trio of Team 7 met a Genin team who came to their door, but were easily eliminated by Uchiha Sasuke alone. ]

[Luckily, it's the Earth Scroll they need. ]

["Very good!"]

[Naruto raised his hands and said: "Now we can go directly to the tower!"]

[At this moment, a slimy voice appeared around them: "Ah, as a man, being too fast is not a good thing!"]

[I saw a tall, slender man emerging from the ground. ]

[Appears in front of the three people. ]

[ Orochimaru pressed his hat, stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips, looked at the Earth Scroll in Sasuke's hand and said: "I still lack an Earth Scroll here, why not give the scroll in your hands How about giving it to me?"]

[Speaking. ]

[ Orochimaru raised his head slightly, and his narrow eyes under the bamboo hat fell into the sight of the trio of Team 7. ]

[A terrifying murderous aura emanates from his body. ]

[Just one glance can make people's hands and feet feel cold, as if they are seeing their own death. ]

[However...]

[The trio of Team 7 looked at Orochimaru winking there. The three looked at each other, not knowing what this guy meant. ]

[After a long silence, Sasuke said with some uncertainty: "He seems, 80%, maybe, probably..."]

["Are you trying to scare us with murderous intent?"]

["Eh?"]

[Naruto raised his voice and showed a disgusted expression: "But the murderous aura emanating from him is not even one-tenth as good as Kaido-sensei's. I thought he was just saying hello to us!"]

["You can't say that!"]

[The considerate Sakura took the initiative to defend Orochimaru: "Kaido-sensei used Conqueror's Haki when he released his murderous intent."]

["So the power will be one to two levels higher than ordinary murderous aura."]

[After speaking, she gave Orochimaru an encouraging look. ]

[As if saying. ]

[It's okay, it's cute even if it's small! ]

Jiraiya: "Pfft!!"

Jiraiya: "Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard. I didn't expect you, Orochimaru, to be despised by Genin!"

Fourth Raikage: "No, Orochimaru."

Fourth Raikage: "You just went to the Fish Pond to fry fish, why did you start fighting with the fish?"

Orochimaru: "..."
