Chapter 51, The Unique Team Seventh.

First Team, Yamanaka Shinobu, Nara Nobumori, Akimichi Seiichi.

Second Team, Morishita Toshun, Kiyoshi Izumi, Murakami Takashi.

...

Seventh Team, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya...

The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the classroom, Raijin's heart was on edge.

If he were to replace any one of the three ninjas, Raijin felt he would be somewhat guilty.

But when Sarutobi Hiruzen called out the names of the three people, Raijin's heart sank, and his brows furrowed uncontrollably.

And it was at this moment that Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to speak.

"Uchiha Raijin, gather on the rooftop."

As the words fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the four Raijins, showed a hearty smile, and left the classroom.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen left, Senju Kaku looked at the Raijins in surprise.

Under normal circumstances, a squad's normal formation, including the leading Jonin, is four people.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen took away four people at once.

What does this mean?

This means that both Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Raijins are highly valued by Hokage-sama.

Raijin is understandable because he opened Three Tomoe at the age of six, his Ninjutsu talent is incredibly good, not extreme in itself, being valued by Hokage-sama is naturally expected.

Tsunade goes without saying, Hokage-sama's granddaughter, the talent is beyond words, not being valued by Hokage-sama is abnormal.

Orochimaru's talent is also very good, it can be said that this session is second only to Raijin and Tsunade's genius.

It's just this Jiraiya...

Is there any shining point that I haven't discovered?

...

On the rooftop of the Ninja School, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the four little ones standing in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the words the teacher said to him that day.

"I approve of your choice of disciples, but there is one person who also needs you to lead."

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not resist Senju Tobirama's arrangement, Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly knew Tsunade and Raijin's talent.

To lead Raijin, there is no other reason, in fact, it is to cultivate a strong enough ninja.

As for whether the Uchiha family can be trusted or not, Sarutobi Hiruzen chooses to believe in his teacher.

"Introduce yourself, my name is Sarutobi Hiruzen, KonohagakureJonin, your leading Jonin."

"My name is Uchiha Raijin, Konohagakure Genin, your team member."

Raijin chuckled and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Well, I know, even in the Uchiha family, you are a genius child."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled in response, and had a general impression of UchihaRaijin.

A gentle smile, a playful personality, no wonder it was approved by the teacher.

"You flatter me."

Raijin chuckled in response.

"My name is Tsunade, a Genin from Konohagakure, your team member."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade slightly raised an eyebrow, raised a hand, and followed Raijin's formation.

"Um, we've met before."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded at Tsunade with a light smile.

"Orochimaru, a Genin from Konohagakure, your team member."

For some reason, perhaps influenced by Raijin and Tsunade, Orochimaru subconsciously followed the formation.

"Um~ I've seen your profile, a very excellent child."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Orochimaru, not hiding his admiration for Orochimaru in his words.

"Compared to Raijin-kun, I'm still far behind."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked at Raijin not far away. Honestly, Orochimaru really didn't expect that he could be in a team with Uchiha Raijin.

To tell the truth, Orochimaru was quite happy.

This means that in the future, he will have plenty of time to discuss Ninjutsu with Raijin.

"My name is Jiraiya, a Genin from Konohagakure, your team member."

Jiraiya raised his hand and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Um, I know, a child with great potential."

Honestly, the first three all introduced themselves like this, Jiraiya felt that if he didn't introduce himself like this... it would make him seem very unsociable.

Hiruzen nodded upon hearing this. In fact, when Hiruzen took Jiraiya into his team, he wanted Jiraiya to act as a lubricant between Tsunade and Orochimaru.

As for Uchiha Raijin, honestly, it wasn't Sarutobi Hiruzen who chose Raijin, but Senju Tobirama who handed Raijin over to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It was surprising, but also likable.

"Today is mainly to get to know everyone. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, gather at the third training ground of Konohagakure for the exam. If you are late or fail the exam, you will be sent back to the ninja school."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and continued.

"You should know that a team should be three Genin, but now, there are four Genin in my team, so..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say the rest of the sentence, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

"Teacher, can you reveal the content of the exam in advance?"

Upon hearing this, Raijin jokingly asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Of course, the content is very simple, that is, the four of you, try to snatch the three bells in my hand. Those who have bells can stay, and those who don't have bells can only return to the ninja school."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the four Raijin.

Because it was said in advance that a team can have up to three people, so the words Sarutobi Hiruzen said now are particularly convincing.

Orochimaru subconsciously frowned and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"So does that mean that among us, one person will inevitably return to the ninja school?"

"Of course."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with a light smile upon hearing this. Suddenly, the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face disappeared instantly, and he asked Orochimaru indifferently.

"Why do I need so many team members? The village doesn't give me extra bonuses."

Orochimaru pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, then at Tsunade, and finally his gaze fell on Raijin.

It's over, I'm done for this time, no one can beat it, what should I do?

Jiraiya suddenly felt that his future was dark.

"Alright, I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow."

A hearty smile appeared on his face again, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's figure suddenly disappeared on the spot.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen leave, Raijin stood up, glanced at Orochimaru and Jiraiya, thought for a moment, and said to Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

"Do you guys have time? How about having a meal together?"

"Sure."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru had a slight smile on his face. It wasn't very obvious, but it was indeed there.

"Okay."

Jiraiya also stood up and nodded.

"Shall we make our own barbecue?"

Tsunade thought for a while and said to Raijin next to her.

"Is it okay?"

Upon hearing this, Raijin nodded and asked Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

"Of course."

"Okay."

Neither Jiraiya nor Orochimaru refused.
