"Let's go-"

Tsunade tapped her fingertips lightly and touched Jiraiya's palm, her beautiful eyes twinkling. .

"Well -" Jiraiya nodded, then looked sideways at Dai beside him and said:

"Brother, we will no longer be in a group from now on. I hope you will be stronger next time I see you!"

"Aha - that's natural." Dai touched his head, very confident.

"Jiraiya, I hope I can really compete with you next time!"

During this graduation assessment, Dai also clearly felt that his brother was extraordinary in strength, especially in terms of physical skills, he was as good as himself.

The stronger the opponent, the easier it is to arouse Dai's fighting spirit.

Jiraiya touched his nose, grinned and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

"Well, it's a deal!"

As if they had agreed, the two of them stretched out their right hands and made fists at the same time, and they touched each other vigorously.

This is an agreement between brothers.

After saying goodbye to Dai, Jiraiya and Tsunade went straight to Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru. The two were familiar with Sakumo and said hello to each other.

However, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.

Who made Orochimaru appear next to him, a man of few words?

"Hello--!"

After struggling with his thoughts for a long time, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and took the initiative to reach out and say hello to Orochimaru. After all, the other person was still young at this time, so he probably wouldn't be able to suddenly transform into a giant yellow python to swallow him clean.

However, the fact—

Orochimaru blinked his eyes, his dry well-like face not causing even a single ripple. In an instant, the awkward atmosphere froze to freezing point.

Even Sakumo, who had always been calm, couldn't help but take a breath when he looked at Jiraiya's lone hand raised into the air, showing his signature dead fish eyes, not ready to lie down in this muddy water.

Jiraiya pretended to be calm, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

But I was thinking in my heart, should I find a hole in the ground and crawl into it next second?

Or - find a hole in the ground to put it in? . .

"Hello there!"

However, you can never guess what some people do.

Orochimaru actually stretched out his hand quietly and responded to Jiraiya, although his face was expressionless.

But this is already something that makes people feel incredible.

"Aha——" Jiraiya didn't react for a moment, he just felt that the guy's hand opposite him was so cold, it was cold to the bone.

"Okay - we will be our companions from now on, please take good care of me!"

Maybe Jiraiya knew too much about the plot of the original work. When he thought that the people in front of him would be able to release all kinds of snake babies anytime and anywhere in the near future, he felt inexplicably guilty.

"Ha ha--"

Tsunade's playful laughter came to her ears, and she naturally noticed Jiraiya's embarrassment. The girl blinked her eyes and took a step forward to say hello: "Hello, Orochimaru!"

After a moment, he received a nod from the young man.

Although the three of them had been classmates for some time, they had never exchanged a few words with Orochimaru from beginning to end.

In fact, not only them, but none of the candidates in the entire ninja school had really had much interaction with Orochimaru.

In their eyes, the young man's parents were killed in World War I and his personality was inevitably withdrawn, but he was quite talented in ninjutsu.

That's right, this kind of persona is a proper aloof male god no matter what era he is in.

"Okay, since you are all classmates, I won't introduce you further!"

Hatake Sakumo on the side spoke slowly, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised.

"On the orders of the Third Generation, I will take you to see him!"

"Lord Hokage?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya said in unison.

At this time, the graduation assessment has just ended. Shouldn't they be allowed to take a break first?

Why is Hokage-sama so anxious to summon him.

"Hmm -" Sakumo put one hand in his pocket and nodded slightly.

"Okay!" they both responded in unison.

Although I had doubts about this matter, I thought that since the Third Hokage personally summoned him, it must be no small matter.

Jiraiya and Tsunade didn't ask any more questions and followed Sakumo and Orochimaru out of the tower. After leaving the Forest of Death, they headed straight towards the Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage—Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade have been brought here!"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of the Hokage table with his back to him, Sakumo lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.

The person in front of him heard this and slowly turned around. Because he was wearing a Hokage hat, he couldn't see clearly Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression.

But he could feel the majesty and solemnity of Sarutobi Hiruzen through the gap in the hat curtain.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Sakumo!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said calmly.

Sakumo bowed his fists in front of his chest and responded: "Hokage-sama, in this case, I will take my leave first!"

The task assigned to him has been completed, and Sakumo will no longer stay. This is also the most basic consciousness of a ninja, and he will not overstep his will.

"Hmm -" Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and agreed.

Then Sakumo formed a seal with his fingertips and disappeared into a burst of white smoke.

Now, there are only four masters and apprentices left in the entire Hokage's office.

When the boss didn't speak, he, as a subordinate, naturally didn't dare to speak nonsense. Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't speak, and Jiraiya and the others stood still, unmoving.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe on the table and slowly put it into his mouth.

"Crack--" there was a sound, and the smoke swirled and rose along the pipe as the other person puffed and puffed.

Within a few moments, the entire office was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke.

"Ahem -" Maybe it was because the smoke had hit his throat, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice, and then said: "I heard that you performed well in this assessment -"

Jiraiya was slightly surprised. The test had just ended, but Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew how he and Tsunade behaved in the Forest of Death.

This shows how powerful Konoha's perception and monitoring system is.

I'm afraid that from the moment the candidates entered the Forest of Death, their actions have been controlled almost transparently by Konoha's senior management in Konoha's control room.

In this case, Jiraiya couldn't help but dilate his pupils.

The masked grass ninja who had previously been hiding in the Forest of Death was probably known to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he did not send anyone to stop him.So, he just wanted to see if the two ninjas who were about to become his disciples were qualified.

Fortunately, Jiraiya and the others were able to fight for a while. Although it was a hard battle, it was this battle that made Sarutobi Hiruzen truly recognize their strength.

"It's just a small skill, and it's not worth mentioning in front of Hokage-sama."

As the saying goes, you should never use a sword in front of Guan Gong. Jiraiya, who knew this truth well, raised his lips and responded.

"Well, not bad, you also know how to be humble."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, took another puff of cigarette, and then added: "But shouldn't your title be changed, Jiraiya?"
