NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: ch9
The location written on the envelope is a small forest located on the outskirts of the Forest of Death.
The Forest of Death was created by the First Hokage with his own ability. It is one of the major attractions in Konoha Village.
"What's the matter, why hasn't Jiraiya come yet?" Christina looked at the dense forest around and complained very dissatisfied.
It's not Christina's fault. Because at this time, it should be an hour past the agreed time.
Sam had already fallen asleep lying on the grass next to him. Minato comforted Christina's emotions.
"Maybe there is something delaying it. After all, Master Jiraiya should be very busy."
"What are you busy with? Are you busy peeking at the women's bathhouse?" Christina's words made Minato speechless.
"Ahem!"
A heavy cough sounded. Jiraiya, with long silver hair, appeared with a flushed face.
After all, anyone who hears their gossip when they first arrive would blush. What's more, he just came from the bathhouse.
"Well, I met a bathhouse on the way here just now..."
"No, I encountered a very difficult matter and delayed it for a while. I'm sorry."
Jiraiya snorted. Then he picked up the photo in his hand and looked at it.
"You should be Christina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, right?" He looked around: "Where is Sam Hughes?"
"Snore..."
A grunt caught Jiraiya's eye. Sam was in a deep sleep, snoring loudly.
Christina's head was full of black lines, and a fist knocked Sam awake.
"What happened?" Sam rubbed his sleepy eyes and finally saw Jiraiya with silver hair.
"Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya also had black lines all over his head. What kind of students are these?
He heard Christina gossiping when he first came here, and now this Sam calls him by his own name?
It seems that Minato is more obedient.
But after being late for so long, Jiraiya couldn't say anything, so he could only wave his hands and say:
"Well, let's introduce ourselves first."
Introducing yourself and telling your dream has always been one of Konoha's traditional practices.
Sam wasn't surprised either.
"My name is Christina Uzumaki, my favorite food is ramen, I hate tomatoes and peppers, and my future dream..."
Christina paused, then raised her fist and shouted loudly:
"I'm going to be Konoha's first female Hokage!"
Sam curled his lips; the crown prince's yellow hair may be inherited from Minato, but this character definitely comes from Christina! The mother and child are almost alike.
Jiraiya didn't laugh because of Christina's dream like other grownups. Instead, he looked at her appreciatively and even applauded lightly.
"Don't you feel like laughing, Mr. Jiraiya?" Christina asked Jiraiya a question.
The latter said with a serious face: "Everyone's dream, no matter how absurd, is worthy of respect."
"I didn't expect you, a pervert, to have a good side." Christina muttered under her breath, feeling better about Jiraiya.
As for Jiraiya, he completely pretended that he didn't hear Christina's muttering.
Minato Namikaze generously introduced: "My hobby is to study ninjutsu, and my dream is to become a great ninja like Master Hokage."
Jiraiya nodded slightly. I have to say that although Minato is young, he has a calm and careful personality, making him a good ninja.
Next up was Sam. He flicked the thing picked out of his nose at random, and then said distressedly:
"Dreams like this..."
"If you have to say it, it's to get money without working."
Everyone's face darkened.
Seriously? The dreams of those in front are so great. Either become a Hokage or protect the village and become a great ninja.
And you just want to get rich without working? What a slacker.
Sam scratched his head: "What's the matter, teacher, didn't you just say that you can't discriminate against anyone's dreams?"
Jiraiya pressed his forehead and squeezed out: "It's a good dream."
Then he hooked the corner of his mouth.
"Since we already understand each other, let's start this assessment."
"Assessment?" Both Minato and Christina became cautious.
Team assessment is the best way for a teacher to understand the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the entire team.
As Sam expected, Jiraiya took a bell out of his pocket.
The ancestral assessment method of the Third Hokage belongs to yes. I'm afraid even the Third Hokage didn't expect that the assessment method he created on a whim would be passed down to Konoha Village decades later.
He picked up the bell and looked at the three of them.
"The assessment task this time is, no matter what method you use, snatch this bell from my hand before sunset."
"Remember, no matter what method you use."
