Performance Report

Hokage Building.

Jōnin, a young man with black hair and golden eyes, is debriefing.

"The third class guide Jōnin, Orochimaru."

"Now for team report..."

"Senju Nawaki, who is good at strange power, Earth Style, and Wood Style, is undoubtedly the best genius ninja in contemporary Konoha!"

Orochimaru's cold face had a somewhat relieved smile.

Genius cherishes genius.

He is very optimistic about Nawaki's growth potential!

"Oh?"

"Did you even say that..."

Third Hokage took a breath from his pipe and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although he has long known the excellence of Senju Nawaki.

But to be admitted by the arrogant Orochimaru, it is only a genius among geniuses!

"What about the other two?"

Third Hokage asked casually.

"The children from Mitokuda and Utatane family".

"The talents of these two people are at the middle and lower level among the famous disciples."

Orochimaru's face was expressionless, and his words were concise.

"I don't want to make detailed talent evaluations either".

"Orochimaru, you...!"

This made Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who were present, look very embarrassed.

For a while they were very annoyed with Orochimaru!

Orochimaru still held his head up, and didn't even look at them.

"..."

Third Hokage frowned vaguely.

Orochimaru was his most proud disciple.

But it is precisely because the other party is too good that he has developed a rebellious character.

Third Hokage feels that such people are often difficult to handle. …

So he didn't think of Orochimaru as the next Hokage's successor yet.

It can only be said that power is a fascinating thing.

No matter who it is, he doesn't want anyone to threaten his position.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to continue to rule Konoha for fifty years!

He asked once, "what is his dream"?

Orochimaru's dream is to become a great Hokage like Mr. Sarutobi!.

Next Jōnin debriefing.

"The fourth class instructs Jōnin, Hatake Sakumo."

"Now for team report..."

Hatake Sakumo said in a calm voice.

"Sarutobi Shinnosuke is good at taijutsu and Wind Style, and his overall level is excellent."

"Uchiha Mikoto, who is good at Fire Style and Uchiha Shuriken style, has initially mastered the use of Sharingan, and has great potential in the future!"

"Senju Akuma....."

When it comes to the last name.

Hatake Sakumo paused, sorted out the language in his mind, and continued to explain.

"Good at Water Style, Taijutsu, Illusion, and good swordsmanship, and his abilities in all aspects are well-balanced."

When describing Senju Akuma, he used the more neutral evaluation of "balanced".

It means that all aspects of the ability are balanced, there are no shortcomings, but there is no outstanding talent.

Hatake Sakumo did this for a reason.

He is a few years older than Orochimaru.

Hatake Sakumo is also not ignorant of politics.

He is very aware of the delicate relationship between the senior Konoha officials and the Senju clan.

From when Orochimaru praised Senju Nawaki's talent just now.

A cold light flashed across Third Hokage's eyes.

You can see it!

The better the ninjas of the Senju clan are.

Third Hokage's heart felt more and more afraid.

As an honest teacher, Hatake Sakumo does not want his students to be politically persecuted.

Covering up Senju Akuma's edge is a means of protection!

"Hmm~"

"I see."

Third Hokage nodded.

The situation was pretty much what he knew.

Compared to Orochimaru's praised Nawaki, he is a genius among geniuses.

Akuma, who Hatake Sakumo said has a balanced ability, is obviously several orders of magnitude less threatening.
