Ch 17

"Orochimaru!"

Walking on the street, Orochimaru, who had just purchased supplies and was about to return to his secret small base to continue studying ninjutsu, was stopped by a familiar voice from behind.

In fact, he was a little happy in his heart, but still maintained a cold expression on his face. Orochimaru turned around and looked behind him.

Not far behind Orochimaru, a white-haired young man was smiling and waving at him enthusiastically.

It was none other than his teammate and friend Jiraiya who called Orochimaru to stop him.

Stepping forward quickly, Jiraiya walked to Orochimaru's side, raised his right hand, and put it on Orochimaru's shoulder affectionately.

Showing a disgusted expression, Orochimaru knocked Jiraiya's right hand off.

"What's the matter?"

Faced with Orochimaru's slightly indifferent question, Jiraiya was not angry at all. He had long been used to this guy's indifferent attitude.

"I heard from Sarutobi-sensei that he found a disciple for you!" Leaning to the right, Jiraiya approached Orochimaru with a smile and asked curiously.

Nodding slightly, Orochimaru raised his hand again, pushing Jiraiya's big face away.

"The child of the Shimura family, the nephew of Elder Danzo!" Orochimaru replied briefly.

"I've heard of this brat. It's said that he's an inexhaustible genius." Jiraiya was the least interested in geniuses, so there was a hint of a joke in his words. "I don't know how you, the genius of the day before yesterday, compare with the genius of the Shimura family. Monster genius?"

"Boring!" He replied in a cold voice, still thinking about the Orochimaru he was researching. After speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Alas! Orochimaru, don't go!" Jiraiya yelled and followed.

"What do you think of this genius disciple of yours? Are you excited to be a teacher for the first time?" Jiraiya followed closely behind Orochimaru and asked.

Sighing, Orochimaru stopped again with a little helplessness.

"Jiraiya, Sensei asked me to accept that child, but I actually didn't want to agree." Orochimaru explained seriously.

"You don't like that brat? Could this be the same-sex repulsion in the legend? Geniuses always look down on another genius," Jiraiya also said jokingly.

"No, I just don't know if I am qualified to be a qualified teacher now." Orochimaru hesitated and said with a lack of confidence.

Hearing his friend's words, Jiraiya also restrained the smile on his face, stretched out his hand, and patted Orochimaru's shoulder, encouraging him earnestly: "No problem, you are a real genius, you will definitely become an excellent teacher."

Faced with Jiraiya's encouragement, Orochimaru was in a much better mood, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Of course, you idiot!"

"Damn it, Orochimaru, you bastard!"

Seeing the distraught Jiraiya, Orochimaru smiled even more happily.

"Hateful!"

Boom!

"Ah!"

Jiraiya, who was screaming, was suddenly attacked and covered his head in pain.

Orochimaru on the side saw the rapidly swollen bump on Jiraiya's head and couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat behind his back.

Tsunade is really getting more and more dangerous.

While complaining in his heart, Orochimaru looked at Tsunade standing behind Jiraiya.

"The work in the hospital is over?" Orochimaru asked proactively.

"Of course not, I sneaked out," Tsunade replied as a matter of course.

Regarding Tsunade's attitude, Orochimaru had nothing to say and could only sigh silently in his heart.

"Tsunade! You violent woman!" Jiraiya, who finally recovered from the pain, covered his head with his hands, stood up, and glared at Tsunade.

"Who told you to yell in the street? It's really noisy, bastard!" Tsunade folded her hands on her chest and cursed confidently.

"It's so violent, no one deserves it!" Rubbing his head, Jiraiya also muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Tsunade showed a threatening expression, wrapped her hand around her fist, and squeezed hard, making a crisp sound.

He hurriedly opened the distance between himself and Tsunade, and Jiraiya also hid on the other side of Orochimaru.

"Everyone is watching, please stop arguing," Orochimaru skillfully persuaded them to stop fighting.

"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly and let go of her clenched fist.

Following Tsunade's movements, Orochimaru and Jiraiya also heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"What were you talking about just now?" Tsunade asked curiously after the slapstick ended.

"Orochimaru is going to accept apprentices!" Before Orochimaru could speak, Jiraiya poked his head out and said first.

"Apprentice?"

As Orochimaru expected, after hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade's eyes lit up, showing a gossip expression.

"Who? Who is it? The kid from which family!"

"The Shimura family, the nephew of Elder Danzo," Orochimaru replied.

"Danzo's nephew?" Tsunade showed a disgusted expression.

What Tsunade dislikes is not Orochimaru, but Danzo!

For Sarutobi-sensei's friend and disciple of his second grandfather, Tsunade has never liked him very much.

Tsunade hates Danzo's traditional and rigid, sinister and ruthless character, as well as his style of doing things.

"The nephew of the Danzo family, if he has the same personality as Danzo." Thinking of this, Tsunade shook her head and looked at

 Orochimaru with sympathetic eyes.

Facing Tsunade's gaze, Orochimaru guessed what she was thinking.

"I've read the information on that child, and it's very different from Elder Danzo."

"That brat from Shimura's family has become very famous in the village recently. It is said that he is a genius born in the world and has the talents similar to the first generation Hokage," Jiraiya added.

"The first generation Hokage's potential?" Tsunade showed an expression of interest, but it quickly turned into disgust. "It is estimated that Danzo's insidious villain is trying to build momentum for his younger generation. It is really shameless!"

Jiraiya, who had been poking his head out, looked at Tsunade with a look of disgust, and then at Orochimaru with a calm face. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

"Why don't we test the authenticity of that brat? See if he is as powerful as the rumors say!" Jiraiya also said in a curious and gossipy tone.

"Boring." Orochimaru did not want to participate and responded calmly.

Tsunade's reaction was the opposite of Orochimaru's, and she was very moved by Jiraiya's proposal.

Potential of the first generation!

As the granddaughter of the first generation Hokage, Tsunade is very concerned about this comment.

"I think Jiraiya's proposal is good. Let's go take a look at Orochimaru!" Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, showing a longing expression like a playwright.

Sighing again, facing the expectations of the two friends, Orochimaru could only nod in agreement.

"Go and have a look!" After finishing speaking, Orochimaru was worried that the two of them would be too nonsensical, and added, "Restrain yourselves, don't go too far."

He patted Orochimaru's shoulder vigorously, almost making Orochimaru angry. Tsunade smiled boldly and said, "Don't worry, with the princess here, nothing will happen."

"It's because of you that accidents are easy to happen," Jiraiya also complained in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? Jiraiya!" Tsunade yelled angrily when she heard Jiraiya whispering.

"I said, let's go!" After finishing speaking, Jiraiya, who felt that his life was the most important thing, ran away with a Body Flicker technique.

"Damn it, stop!" Tsunade yelled and chased after him.

Seeing the two unreliable classmates, team members, and friends running away, Orochimaru could only silently chase after them.
