Brief - Fight between Tatsumi and Minato. Minato is now able to summon a toad less than 1 meter tall. The toad, like Manda, demands 100 caterpillars from Minato. Minato used the same move Jiraiya used, the oil and fire style combination. Later, Tatsumi got caught in Minato's Attack and turned into smoke. Minato found out he was fighting a shadow clone all the time. Tatsumi then threw a kunai using enhanced strength.
Nishimura was watching them and decided to punish them because they destroyed the entire training ground. Tatsumi asked Minato how he got enough Chakra to summon the toad. Minato showed him the seals on his sleeves. These were the seals Tatsumi did a little research on. Back in the 2nd grade, he unlocked the sealing attribute and showed a little interest in it. Mito gave him a few seals. Tatsumi tried researching on the kind of seals that would save chakra. Tatsumi stopped it after some time but Minato continued and was finally able to develop the seals.

--------------------------
At this time, the sun had passed through the clouds and slanted westward.
Tatsumi walks home alone.
He rubbed his shoulders, feeling a little tired.
Just now he accompanied Minato to Nishimura's office to apologize.
Tatsumi felt his head getting dizzy.
Tatsumi quickened his pace, he was very hungry.
'Huh?'
He stopped suddenly.
The long-term training gave him the ability to sense things.
"Come out."
No one answered him, in the darkness, all around was silent.
Suddenly. two black kunai shot directly towards Tatsumi's chest.
"...."
Tatsumi was somewhat helpless.
In his previous life, when two people met, they would ask how the other person was.
But the ninjas use kunai to meet.
He threw two shuriken and the two shuriken hit the Kunai accurately, disrupting the trajectory of the Kunai.
In the whole process, Tatsumi didn't seem to do anything.
After blocking the Kunai, Tatsumi's shuriken did not stop.
Several shuriken continued and flew in the direction the Kunai had just been thrown from.
At the second approaching shuriken, a wooden log suddenly appeared in place.
The Shuriken hit the wooden log.
Tatsumi just waited for the next move from the other person.
The person on the other side hid in the dark, like a snake, ready to give a fatal blow at any time.
Tatsumi was alert. Suddenly a pair of pale hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed his feet.
Tatsumi quickly casted one-handed hand seals and before that hand caught him, he became a wooden log.
Tatsumi disappeared and the wooden log was crushed by that hand.
Tatsumi also hid from the person.
The road there became quieter and quieter.
The other side hid in the dark while Tatsumi was also hiding behind a big tree, waiting for the other side to show their traces.
The other side has been waiting here for Tatsumi.
Tatsumi's information on the person is 0.
This was bad for Tatsumi.
So, even though Tatsumi is in the dark, he is out in the open. (In the sense that the other person knows about him.)
As time passed , a shadow appeared behind Tatsumi.
He appeared in the place through high-level Earth-Style jutsu.
The man glanced at Tatsumi and knew that this was definitely not a Shadow Clone. Because he has special sensing ability, he is very keen on Chakra.
The person shook his head.
He has always believed that fighting was the best way to communicate. But he was very dissatisfied with this exchange.
Tatsumi's vigilance was too bad.
The man took out a kunai and the kunai stroked Tatsumi's back.
But after Tatsumi in front of him hit kunai, his head turned 180 degrees and looked at him with a smile.
"Genjutsu? But, when?" The man immediately disrupted his Chakra Flow.
Tatsumi in front of him disappeared.
There was a kunai bursting out of the air. The kunai was like a cannonball.
The Kunai hit the person directly on the head. His head flew out. After passing through his head, the Kunai continued to shoot through the tree trunk and flew out through and through.
A hand suddenly rested on Tatsumi's shoulder.
Tatsumi's body trembled, he was scared.
"Tatsumi, you have become stronger." The man said in a hoarse voice.
Tatsumi turned his head and found the person who sneaked on him was pedoma- Orochimaru.
Tatsumi laughed, "Lord Orochimaru, why come to me? You should be very busy now."
Since training three years ago, Tatsumi hasn't seen Orochimaru again.
Although Orochimaru said that Tatsumi could ask him for help at any time. He has never asked him anything.
Orochimaru, now almost 20 years old, is completely different from the one three years ago.
Three years ago, he was somewhat young and inexperienced, but now he is more experienced.
Tatsumi suddenly thought of the gossip he heard from Nawaki.
"I haven't seen you for three years, I didn't expect you to become so powerful now."
Orochimaru was still so distinctive. It was full of hoarseness and Tatsumi even thought it was a bit sexy. (Please, I'm not like this. I don't even know his gender)
"Come with me to talk." Orochimaru patted Tatsumi's shoulder and then walked forward alone.
Since Orochimaru ordered to take a walk with him, Tatsumi couldn't refuse.
At any rate, he can go and brag about it in the future.
Tatsumi shuddered.
'Orochimaru did have a preference for kidnapping children.'
The two of them walked into a tavern.
Tatsumi walked in and looked at the tavern.
The dim light made the tavern a little shabby.
Then, Orochimaru ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes.
"You drink?"
"Orochimaru-Sama, I am still a child. I cannot drink."
"Tsunade and I, as well as the idiot of Jiraiya, used to come here to drink when we were young."
"Speaking of which, Tsunade discovered this shop. In the whole Konoha, only this place sells alcohol to minors."
"....."
"When I came back this afternoon, I found that the former boss of this shop had died a few days ago. Now it is his son who inherited this shop."
After finishing talking, Orochimaru took a sip of wine.
"The tangible things will come to an end sooner or later. Even people. What do you think?" Orochimaru said.
