Uchiha In was deep in thought. He had no idea that Lady Tsunade was coming because of him.
"Tsunade, I didn't expect you would want to take a Disciple. This aligns perfectly with my thoughts!"
A man with red oil paint resembling tear streaks at the corners of his eyes and spiky white hair laughed heartily.
He spoke to Tsunade with a slightly lecherous smile on his face, his voice containing a hint of admiration.
Jiraiya was one of Tsunade's teammates and harbored admiration for her.
"Jiraiya, Tsunade is different from you. You might just want to take a Disciple, but Tsunade is probably doing it for the future Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki."
Beside Jiraiya was a pale-skinned young man with dark hair just reaching his shoulders, a cold expression, and snake-like eyes that immediately made one feel pressured.
Orochimaru, in his youth, was Tsunade and Jiraiya's teammate.
Compared to the carefree Jiraiya, Orochimaru's political acumen was clearly much higher.
Upon hearing Tsunade express her desire to take a Disciple, his first thought was this aspect.
"Kushina is one of them, but I also want to see if there are any other good prospects."
"Of course, you two can also look and see if there's anyone you fancy."
Tsunade did not deny Orochimaru's words.
Tsunade knew her actions would definitely attract a lot of attention. After all, as the Konoha princess, Tsunade's every move was watched by everyone.
That's why she sought out Jiraiya and Orochimaru to watch this 'very boring' practical combat class together.
Yes, it was very boring. Tsunade and the others were already Kage-level powerhouses. Watching a group of children's practical combat class was like a group of kings watching bronze players play a game.
If it weren't for Tsunade needing to complete the System's mission, Tsunade would genuinely be too lazy to go.
"Lady Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru."
Seeing Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru arrive at the training ground, the Chunin teacher bowed respectfully, his expression filled with excitement.
Although Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were not yet the Sannin who would later shake the Ninja World, they were very famous within Konoha as the Third Hokage's Disciple.
Tsunade and the others also nodded amiably to the Chunin teacher.
"Students, for this practical combat class, we will follow the method of the year-end assessment. Everyone will draw lots, then form groups to fight, and finally, the strongest person will be assessed."
The Chunin teacher said with a smile.
Since Tsunade and the others needed to evaluate the students and wanted to recruit Disciple, they naturally couldn't follow the usual practical combat class format.
Therefore, the Chunin teacher also referred to the year-end assessment situation and adopted the drawing of lots method.
Winners advance, losers are eliminated, and the first place is selected.
And students who performed exceptionally well in combat were also very likely to become a Disciple of Tsunade, Jiraiya, or Orochimaru, meaning a grand-Disciple of Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Thinking of this, the Chunin teacher also felt a bit envious.
After all, becoming a grand-Disciple of the Hokage is very normal to envy.
Seeing the still very young Sannin, Uchiha In's heart also had some fluctuations.
Chapter 24: I'm Going to Beat You Up
After all, those were the original characters Uchiha In liked.
Although Orochimaru was a villain in the original story, he possessed a unique personal charm that attracted a large wave of fans who affectionately called him 'Uncle Snake'.
Moreover, this was Orochimaru before his blackening, his personality might be colder, but his heart was absolutely fervent.
Jiraiya, as Naruto's master, also had his own personality. His lecherous demeanor not only didn't make people dislike him but also made them feel very close to him.
When Uchiha In saw Jiraiya die in his previous life, he felt a pang of sadness.
And there's even less to say about Tsunade. Whether it was her appearance, personality, or figure, Tsunade was definitely an outstanding individual.
Especially her truly magnificent and prominent assets, that undeniable figure would make one's Bloodline surge.
Even Uchiha In was firmly attracted right now; she was too eye-catching.
She was far more perfect than Uzumaki Kushina, who hadn't begun developing yet, and Uchiha Mikoto, who had just started developing.
Uzumaki Kushina seemed to notice Uchiha In's gaze and tugged at him disapprovingly.
"What are you looking at?"
Uzumaki Kushina puffed out her cheeks, showing a displeased expression.
Uchiha In also awkwardly retracted his gaze.
Of course, it wasn't because of Uzumaki Kushina's displeasure, but because Tsunade had just given him a half-smile.
Oh no! It seems I've been discovered!
This was the first thought that flashed through Uchiha In's mind.
He remembered that in the original story, Jiraiya was seemingly caught peeking at Tsunade bathing and was then beaten by Tsunade, breaking countless ribs and almost dying.
Would Tsunade hold a grudge against him for his actions just now?
Probably not. How could a nobody like him possibly be noticed by Tsunade?
Thinking this, Uchiha In also relaxed.
However, what Uchiha In didn't know was that in Tsunade's heart, she had already passed 'death sentence' on Uchiha In.
"Another Jiraiya, huh? Every time I see someone like this, I just want to beat them up."
"After I take you as my Disciple, I will properly educate you."
After yesterday's tailing, Tsunade's impression of Uchiha In had changed. She was no longer as repulsed; otherwise, her impression of Uchiha In would have probably dropped even further at this moment.
Uzumaki Kushina was also a bit angry when she saw Uchiha In seemingly ignoring her.
Just now, she saw Uchiha In staring at Tsunade and felt as if something of hers had been stolen.
However, the object of her anger was not Tsunade, but Uchiha In.
"Stupid tsundere boy, annoying tsundere boy."
"That's for peeking at Lady Tsunade, that's for peeking at Lady Tsunade."
