Tsunade slowly walked to the podium, surveying the three below. Then, she yawned lazily.
Originally, she had absolutely no interest in being a team leader. She'd rather spend that time at the casino, winning big.
Moreover, these three students weren't exactly easy to handle. Tanaka Kenji was alright, just a lucky kid who had somehow made a contract with a strange summoning creature.
The other two were far more significant. Mikoto Uchiha was the only child of the Uchiha clan's elder, and Kushina Uzumaki was the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, set to replace Mito Uzumaki.
How to lead these three well was a real problem. If Mito Uzumaki hadn't personally persuaded her, Tsunade would never have taken on this task.
While Tsunade observed the three, Kenji, Kushina, and Mikoto were also observing Tsunade.
Because of Mito Uzumaki, Kushina and Tsunade were considered distant relatives, so Kushina was relatively familiar with Tsunade.
Mikoto, however, had a subtle expression. Although Konoha was jointly founded by the Uchiha and Senju clans, their relationship, while not mortal enmity, was one of those who wished the other would disappear.
Therefore, Tsunade's reputation within the Uchiha clan was quite resounding. Ruthless, addicted to alcohol, a bloodthirsty killer, a gambling addict...well, the last one might not be slander.
Moreover, would she, a Uchiha, really not be given a hard time under a Senju? Misgivings filled Mikoto's heart.
Kenji, on the other hand, wasn't thinking so much. The great apple enthusiast had a law: the greater the mass of an object, the greater its gravitational pull.
Therefore, Kenji's eyes had been deeply drawn to Tsunade since she appeared.
At this moment, Kushina also noticed Kenji's strange behavior.
So, she followed Kenji's gaze.
Instantly, a strong sense of defeat washed over her.
Before long, the frustration turned into embarrassment and anger.
Kushina reached out her right hand, grabbed Kenji's ear, and pulled him back to reality.
"Ta!na!ka!Ken! Ji! Is! she! pretty!!!"
With their eyes meeting, Kenji could even feel Kushina's warm breath on his face.
Kenji, as if possessed, reached out and stroked Kushina's cheek, blurting out without thinking.
"Not as pretty as you."
Hearing this, Kushina's face instantly became even redder than her vibrant hair.
She pushed Kenji away, clutching her skirt tightly and muttering under her breath.
"What strange things are you saying here, and getting physical! You're such an idiot!"
Looking at Kushina, who was completely different from her usual bossy self, Kenji even wondered if he was dreaming.
However, the faint pain coming from his ear told him that this was not a dream.
Just as Kenji and Kushina were staring at each other, an impatient voice interrupted everything.
"Ahem! What do you two think this is? This is the ninja academy, the cradle of the Will of Fire! To do something like that in such a sacred place... Honestly, kids these days are disgustingly precocious."
Tsunade, not knowing when, had already walked down from the podium, looking at Kenji and Kushina with disappointment.
With a "whoosh," Kushina stood up, explaining in a flustered manner.
"Tsunade-neechan, what are you talking about? I wouldn't have those kinds of thoughts about Kenji. I'm going to become Hokage, and I won't consider those things until I become Hokage!"
Tsunade reached out and patted Kushina's head.
"I haven't even said what you were doing, and you're already admitting it? And now is work time, don't call me 'neechan', call me by my position: Teacher."
After a commotion, Tsunade took the three to the ninja academy's rooftop.
Tsunade sat on the rooftop railing, looking very dangerous.
However, with Tsunade's physical strength, even if she fell from the rooftop, she would probably only make a big hole in the floor, and wouldn't even get a scratch.
"Alright, if there are no objections, I'm your team leader. My name is Tsunade. I specialize in taijutsu and medical ninjutsu, and my interests are drinking and gambling. You guys should introduce yourselves, too, starting with Kushina."
Tsunade crossed her legs, pointing at Kushina.
"My name is Kushina Uzumaki, I specialize in sensory ninjutsu and sealing techniques, I like salty ramen, I hate tomatoes and bitter things, and my future dream is to become Hokage!"
Tsunade nodded, then turned her gaze to Mikoto in the middle.
"My name is Mikoto Uchiha. I specialize in Fire Release and Lightning Release. I like dango, I don't like spicy things, and my future dream is to become a great ninja."
Tsunade nodded again, then looked at the only male in the group.
Kenji first summoned Charmander, then held it in his arms.
"I'm Tanaka Kenji, and this is my closest partner, Charmander. It specializes in Fire Release and taijutsu. I don't have anything I particularly like or dislike, and my future dream is to become a 'free' person."
Tsunade looked at the Charmander in Kenji's arms. With her insight, it wasn't hard to see that this summoning beast named Charmander was no weaker than an average elite Chunin.
Which meant that, of the three, Kenji was the strongest.
So, he's a ninja who fights with summoning beasts, like the Aburame clan? Interesting.
Tsunade thought to herself.
"Alright, our team is officially formed today. You can all go home now, meet at the Hokage Rock tomorrow at three in the afternoon, and don't be late."
Tsunade jumped down from the railing, saying this.
"Tsunade-sensei, aren't we going to have a test? Like a bell test or something?"
Mikoto asked curiously.
Tsunade stretched her arms out lazily, showing off her perfect figure even more.
However, before Kenji could get a good look, his view was blocked by the back of Kushina's head.
"Hah~ Those meaningless tests are just a waste of time. I've seen your graduation exams; you already have the strength to become ninjas. There's no need to do anything extra. Of course, the most important thing is that I want to go home and catch up on sleep, but I don't feel like doing those things."
After saying that, Tsunade suddenly disappeared from the three's sight.
