Chapter 40 Graduation Season

"Shizune, Kurenai, and Asuma, congratulations on graduating from ninja school!"

Tsunade raised her wine glass and clinked it with a few kids, and Orochimaru also raised his glass.

Unknowingly, Shizune had graduated from the Ninja School, along with Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi and others in the same class.

Shizune and Kurenai have been very good friends since childhood, and Asuma and Kurenai also have a very good relationship. Asuma, who has not experienced any beatings from society, is still a bit rebellious now. He doesn't even go home to celebrate with the three generations after graduation. .

It was also the first time for Orochimaru to meet this second-generation official, the future guardian of the Twelve Ninja Warriors.

The current image still has a pot head and some stubble on the chin. The whole person looks a bit like a street kid.

But what I have to admit is that Asuma's grades in the ninja school were good, otherwise he would not have been assigned to be a guard beside the daimyo. In ancient times, he would have been a sword-carrying guard beside the emperor.

The reason why I came to Tsunade's house for dinner today is that on the one hand, I have a good relationship with Kurenai, and on the other hand, my relationship with his father is a bit tense.

In the original work, Asuma wanted to be recognized by the Third Hokage all his life, even if it was just: "This guy is good", he could not get such words after waiting for a lifetime.

The Third Hokage may have a good way of teaching his disciples, but he is not very good at teaching his own children.

Maybe it was because he had been the Hokage for a long time and used harsh tactics on Asuma. Naturally, Asuma, who was in the rebellious stage, couldn't listen to it.

Even if he left the daimyo in the future and returned to Konoha Village, the Third Hokage didn't look at him differently. He didn't know that sometimes what a child needs most is a compliment or affirmation from his father.

If the Third Hokage went out and said that he would teach Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade as his own children, he would kill Orochimaru even if he didn't believe it.

The reason why the three of them are outstanding is that, on the one hand, they are very talented themselves, and on the other hand, they are favored by the third generation. It can be said that they complement each other, and the credit cannot be given to the third generation.

There are various signs that the third generation is not a qualified father, and is Asuma not wrong?

It is very normal for a child in the rebellious period to urgently need his father's recognition, but he did not see the problem from the perspective of the third generation.

If you put yourself in his shoes, understand your father's work more, and be more patient, you won't have to wait for the situation in the future where your son wants to take care of you but you can't wait for him.

Of course, there is a reason for Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha, but the matter is not at the end yet, who knows the outcome?

In general, if both of them have problems, if they get along like Minato and Naruto do, there won't be so many problems.

Minato's sunshine, gentleness and tolerance are definitely impressive, while Naruto's sunshine, passion and perseverance are also very contagious, allowing him to avoid many detours. Even if he takes detours, his companions are willing to do so. Give him a hand.

Asuma looks a bit like a street gangster. In the future, Asuma will become famous in the ninja world for her banana punch! Orochimaru has no intention of interfering with his destiny, at least in the future...

"Come on, Xiaoma, have a drink!"

Seeing Orochimaru clinking glasses with him, Asuma quickly refilled his glass, which actually made him feel a little flattered!

"Senior Orochimaru, you're welcome."

Asuma was quite generous and drank it all in one gulp. No matter how well he gets along with his father, at least he is pretty good to his friends and partners.

In the future, he will pay for all the meals he takes students to, and he even bought a lot of ingredients when he came to Tsunade's house for dinner today. He is a very generous person. No wonder so many fans were upset when he died in battle in the original work!

It's hard to see that Lao Ma has had a good relationship with Hong since childhood. No wonder the two of them can get together in the future.

After signaling the two of them to eat more food, you're welcome, Orochimaru then looked at Shizune.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Shizune, who was eating haise, saw Orochimaru looking at her. She didn't stop moving her hands, but said vaguely:

"Tsunade-sensei said she would teach me medical ninjutsu, and I plan to study with her for a while first."

Shizune's medical ninjutsu in the original work is also pretty good. During the years when Tsunade was not willing to see blood, Shizune did the surgery on her behalf. As long as Tsunade told her the steps, Shizune would do the rest.

Her role is a bit like Kabuto, the pharmacist next to Orochimaru. Kabuto is also an excellent medical ninja, and he also does a lot of dirty work for Orochimaru.

Not only does he admire Orochimaru very much, but he also has a sincere heart, which is why he can follow Orochimaru from beginning to end.

A smart mind is one thing, loyalty is the most important.

But I still don’t know where Kabuto is.

"Yeah! Not bad, just have a plan."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he looked at Tsunade:

"I need to go out in a few days, it can take as short as half a year, as long as a year!"

Hearing that Orochimaru was about to go out again, Kurenai and Asuma didn't react, and Shizune and Tsunade couldn't sit still.

In half a year, won’t they have to go back to the days of cooking by themselves or eating takeout?

"Why does it take so long? Is there any mission?"

Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru with slightly suspicious eyes. She always felt that this guy was becoming more and more mysterious.

Either he was doing research or he disappeared for a while, and when he met Jiraiya one time, Jiraiya even asked her about Orochimaru's whereabouts in a roundabout way. Something was wrong.

"I have something to deal with and I need to go out."

It's better to talk to the two of them, otherwise it would be bad to think that something happened to him and people would ask around him.

As for Danzo, it's not a problem either. He is now the most critical researcher in his hands. What's wrong with taking a long vacation? Moreover, Hashirama's cell research has encountered some problems recently. What happened when he happened to be out for a walk?

To put it bluntly, you are the boss now. If you push yourself too hard, you can give up your job. You can't say anything. Anyway, you don't even have the Byakugan Sharingan now, so you can take this opportunity to make him interested.

Hearing that Orochimaru didn't explain much, Tsunade stopped asking questions and asked about Jiraiya:

"I heard that Jiraiya brought a child back from outside. What's his name?"

Orochimaru thought it was nothing after hearing the first half of the sentence, which was expected; but when he heard about tap water for three months, he almost spit out the wine he drank.

"Are you that surprised?"

Seeing Orochimaru coughing non-stop, Tsunade also wondered, is it so shocking to do such a thing with Jiraiya's flirtatious character?

She didn't know how deeply Orochimaru was impressed by the name Tap Water. Any person in the 21st century would be surprised to hear someone call this name.

"Haha... I've heard of it too, it's a good name!"

Orochimaru could only hide his unnaturalness by laughing!
