Chapter 57: Who gives test papers as New Year’s gifts?

The New Year is approaching, but the Third Hokage is still busy. Even on New Year's Eve, he will work in the office until very late before going home.

"Tsunade, do you need something from me?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask the old man for someone."

"VIP?"

The Third Hokage didn't understand what kind of person Tsunade wanted.

Sitting on the sofa, Tsunade leaned against the back of the sofa and crossed her legs:

"It's not that Nawaki is about to graduate, I plan to let Jiraiya be his teacher and take him on missions. Kushina's friends happened to come to visit my house, Jingyi thought that the little guy named Namikaze Minato was pretty good, so he wanted to try his hand at being a teacher."

"I'll help him get someone."

The Third Hokage: “….”

Do you have to treat it like this? You are itching to be a teacher, but as soon as you open your mouth you want to take away the good seedling that I have high hopes for.

Although all of them are considered to be members of the Hokage series, there are now factions within the Hokage series.

The F4 group, headed by Tsunade, assisted by Akimichi Torikatsu, as well as some family groups behind them.

A child with considerable talent... The Third Hokage was struggling.

After thinking about it, he said helplessly:

"Okay, then let Shizuka be his teacher, but weren't you planning to give Rope Tree to Orochimaru? Why did it become Jiraiya?"

"Cough cough!!"

Tsunade coughed and said, "Orochimaru is busy. He has been in the laboratory for a month or two and has not shown up. It is strange that Nawaki can stay there with his personality. In addition, he likes to hang out with Jiraiya, so I have no choice but to ask Jiraiya for help."

Tsunade couldn't possibly tell the Third Hokage that Shizuka was more optimistic about Jiraiya, so after several persuasions, she changed her mind.

Leaving the Rope Tree to Jiraiya, Orochimaru continued with his research.

He picked up the pipe on the table, lit it, and took a few puffs.

The Third Hokage then spoke up, "Nawaki and Jiraiya should get along well."

How can we not get along? We are almost of the same lineage as you!

Tsunade really didn't know what to say. The Third Hokage took Jiraiya to peek at others taking a bath, and now it's Jiraiya's turn to take Nawaki with him. Is this the true inheritance of the Hokage faction?

None of them are serious!

After glaring at the Third Hokage, Tsunade stood up and left.

The Third Hokage felt inexplicably embarrassed because he knew why Tsunade was angry.

huh~~~

Exhaling a puff of smoke, the Third Hokage said in his heart: It took a lot of effort for me to become Hokage, and it took a lot of effort to secure this position, so what's wrong with having a little hobby?

Can't the Hokage just relax for a moment?

It seems like it's time to relax.

The Third Hokage took out a crystal ball and placed it on the table. He stared at the crystal ball with round eyes, not knowing what he was looking at.

After returning home, Tsunade sat on the sofa and said to Jing: "It's done. The people are coming over from the old man. Come on, I'm rooting for you."

As she said that, Tsunade held Kushina in her arms and rubbed her a few times.

Kushina asked curiously, "Sister Tsunade, what's been done?"

You really are the one who, just because I said that, you really went to ask for someone?

Jingyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry about this.

"Jingyi said he was very optimistic about Minato's talent, so I helped him and asked Minato to come over as his disciple."

Tsunade said as she pinched Kushina's face with her hands and pulled it to both sides. Kushina kept protesting.

When they heard the news, Minato Namikaze was stunned.

Have I really become the senior's disciple?

Suddenly I felt like a pie fell from the sky and hit me on the head.

"teacher........"

The little yellow-haired boy felt a little nervous and embarrassed when he called out for the first time.

Jingyi smiled and patted his head: "Don't be nervous, train hard, I believe you will achieve great success in the future."

"is teacher!"

"This is my New Year's gift to you. If you have any questions or difficulties in the future, please come to me and don't keep them in your heart."

Shizuka took out the ninja tool bag he had prepared in advance and handed it to Minato Namikaze.

When the little guy was training with Nawaki, he looked at Nawaki's ninja tool bag with envy. Even though it was hidden very deeply, Jingyi still noticed it, so he prepared a new one for him during the New Year.

The ninja tool bag is not valuable, what is valuable are the various ninja tools inside.

Don’t be fooled by the training of the protagonists in Naruto. They throw kunai, shurikens, and detonating tags like they are free. They just throw them out and think that’s the end of the matter without even considering recycling them.

In fact, except for those ninjas with capital, ordinary ninjas would not dare to play like this.

Not to mention during training, even on the battlefield one has to look for any ninja tools that can still be used.

Not every ninja is so wealthy.

Minato Namikaze is one of those people who is poor.

"Take it."

Namikaze Minato felt a little embarrassed, and Shizuichi stuffed the ninja tool bag into his arms.

"What about me, what about me?"

The rope tree jumped high to ask for New Year's gifts.

"And I!"

Kushina ran over, jumped high, and hung on Shizuichi's back.

"Be careful of falling."

Jingyi had no choice but to take out all the New Year gifts.

Kushina's New Year's gift was a set of jewelry, which was of average price. The rich woman was not short of money, nor did she need expensive gifts. What she needed was the thought.

"Jingyi, you are so nice. I like the gift very much."

After receiving the gift, Kushina was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She happily ran to Tsunade to show off.

Tsunade rolled her eyes as she watched the little girl showing off her gift in front of her.

"Rope Tree, this is yours."

A box.

"Thank you."

Sheng Shule grinned and opened the box excitedly. The moment the box was opened, the smile on his face slowly solidified and the color in his eyes disappeared.

What gift did Jingyi prepare for Shengshu?

How did the rope tree become like this?

Out of curiosity, Tsunade and Kushina came over, and even Namikaze Minato stretched his neck to take a peek.

Um~~~ a thick stack of test papers........

Are you the devil?

Tsunade gave her brother a sympathetic look.

Kushina's mouth turned into an O shape.

The little yellow-haired boy scratched his head. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he could only hold it back.

Sheng Shu began to exert force with his hands holding the test paper. His fingers turned white and his hands trembled slightly.

“Ugh~~~ Why?!”

Sheng Shu, who usually laughed all the time, was completely defeated at this moment. He didn't care about being embarrassed and started to yell at the top of his lungs:

"Why is Minato's gift a ninja tool bag, Kushina's gift a set of accessories, and my New Year's gift is this???"

Absolutely inappropriate!

Don’t you know that my academic performance is very poor?

You bought me this, do you want me to die?
