Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 4 Assessment

An hour later, the smell of meat permeated the entire backyard, and several spicy roasted rabbits had taken shape.

Gaia tore off a rabbit leg and bit it in one bite.

Zira

The burnt and crispy, spicy and delicious feeling made Gaia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ah~"

Gaia sighed with a sigh of 208 million. He had not experienced such a life for a long time.

Just as Gaia wiped out the food one bite at a time, he heard a sound from the front yard.

"It smells so good!" A slightly cynical tone made Gaia frown.

Gaia looked up following the sound of approaching footsteps.

Three figures were seen.

It was Tsunade who left before, Orochimaru who "captured" him back to Konoha a few days ago, and a young man with white hair.

This was the first time he saw Gaia, but he stepped forward with a familiarity and patted Gaia on the shoulder. The heavy force made Gaia feel the other person's enthusiasm: "Thank you for saving the rope tree." ah!"

The white-haired nose twitched slightly, and the corner of his eye swept across the remaining rabbits in front of Gaia.

Gaia knew that if she didn't speak, this guy would take it himself.

what is his nameCome here... cooked?

White hair... Gaia searched in her memory and suddenly remembered that this person's name was Jiraiya.

He is a well-known LSP+ writer who has been in the women's bathhouse all year round, and this is one of the few plot characters he knows.

Cooking skill is the only skill Gaia has mastered that has reached the intermediate level, and it also comes with a special effect of "increasing appetite".

Few can resist this temptation.

"Senior, please use it."

After getting Gaia's permission, Jiraiya easily picked up a whole rabbit from the grill.

Just about to enter, but was stopped by Tsunade.

"Eh?" Jiraiya didn't understand Tsunade's intentions, and the latter didn't explain, and only returned the rabbit to the other party after perceiving it for a while.

There is no residue of the other party's special chakra.

Orochimaru who was behind him frowned. On the way to bringing Nashu and Gaia back to Konoha, he also noticed something was wrong.

It was impossible for Tsunade to do such a move for no reason. The only thing was that the rabbit...maybe there was some hidden danger?

This little guy seems to have mastered some kind of method that even makes Tsunade afraid?

Zilai also had no scruples, and went straight down.

Then his eyes brightened, and he wanted to invite his companions to come and taste it: "It's so delicious, you guys come too."

Tsunade ignored him and said to Gaia: "I have already discussed it with the Sandaime. You need to stay in the village for the next few years. You only need to accept inquiries from the village regularly..."

"So, what's the price?"

"unnecessary."

In fact, the Sandaime wanted Gaia to hand over the "secret suture technique", but Tsunade directly moved her two deceased grandfathers out...

Konoha ninjas, who have always had a fine tradition of respecting their masters and respecting morality, cannot force the descendants of their masters and seniors to do anything against their will.

Gaia obtained the right to live in Konoha with Tsunade's guarantee.

Kacha, Kacha, Ji Laiya took bites of the crispy barbecue, turned his head and greeted his companions again: "You guys really don't want to try it?"

"Don't forget about the business." Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, whose mouth was full of oil, and reminded him in a cold voice.

As soon as he heard Orochimaru's words, Jiraiya, who was originally excited about tasting rare delicacies, calmed down and turned his head to look at Gaia.

Like him, there are Orochimaru and Tsunade.

The gaze of the three "powerhouses" of unknown level made Gaia instinctively shiver.

"Don't be nervous, they just want to take a look." Tsunade said.

An hour ago, Tsunade went to the Hokage Building and happened to meet Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

When she first expressed her intention to leave Gaia in Konoha and be taught by herself, the Sandaime Hokage was furious.

With Tsunade's current ability, it is natural that she can accept a disciple, but if the person is not from Konoha, it will definitely not be allowed.

Even if an outsider saves the rope tree, it is definitely not worth Konoha taking such a big risk to teach him.

Villages in this world instinctively distrust outsiders.

If Gaia really has the talent to become a towering tree, who can guarantee that after absorbing the nutrients of Konoha, he will in turn protect Konoha?

The growth of a strong person must require countless resources to stack up.

For this reason, Tsunade had a big quarrel with her teacher. If Jiraiya and Orochimaru hadn't been there to vouch for Tsunade, it is estimated that Gaia's stay in the village to "learn skills" might not have come to pass. .

Even so, Tsunade made some promises to the Sandaime.

Gaia is not allowed to teach any secret skills, and Gaia must be trained in the direction of medical ninja.

Even if he learned all Tsunade's medical skills, the harm to Konoha would be far less than cultivating a strong man who could stand alone.

Of course, there is a Konoha tradition that needs to be carried out before Gaia can be formally taught.

After listening to Tsunade's explanation of the "bell grabbing tradition", Gaia's face darkened:

"So, the two seniors are here to visit?"

Jiraiya nodded, and sat cross-legged with Dashemaru, the two of them prepared to watch the play with great interest.

There were several roast rabbits sizzling on the grill nearby. If they were served with a little... Jiraiya seemed to have thought of something, got up and went to the kitchen. After a while, he brought soju and put it on the grill.

Gaia followed Tsunade to the small training ground in the backyard.

Tsunade threw over a ninja tool bag, which contained some commonly used ninja tools such as smoke bombs and kunai.

"Don't worry, this is just a simple test."

Although Tsunade repeatedly emphasized that this was just a simple test, Gaia couldn't help but think that this so-called test was actually a test given to her by the other party...

If the other party really wants to teach him, then it is impossible not to examine his talent.

Tsunade is good at chakra control and physical skills. As long as she shows a certain degree of uniqueness in these two aspects, she should be able to meet the opponent's "standards" even if she can't grab the bell.

It's just... there are some things he doesn't know whether to show or not.

Gaia looked at the bell on the opponent's waist, thought for a moment, and decided to use her skills.

【You used action points】

……

At the edge of the courtyard, Jiraiya was munching on barbecue, taking a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat. It was so satisfying.

Why does this stuff smell so good?

Even with Orochimaru's disposition, he had to cheer up to resist the urge to take a bite, even so, he couldn't help swallowing.

Such a subtle movement could not be hidden from Jiraiya who was standing beside him.

"I just said it smells delicious, come on." Zilai also tore off a rabbit leg and handed it over.

Although Orochimaru was very moved, he still rejected Jiraiya's kindness when he thought of Tsunade's cautious appearance just now.

The rabbit is roasted like this, Tsunade has to confirm it before letting Jiraiya eat it...

If there is no problem, Orochimaru would never believe it.

Orochimaru, who has always been cautious, will not let this happen.

Just then, things changed in the venue.

砰

Under the cover of the smoke bomb, Gaia separated into two clones, and two Gaias rushed out from the smoke, one on the left and one on the right.

With the knowledge of the three of them, it was natural to discover at a glance that this was just an ordinary avatar technique.

Facing a powerhouse of their level, this avatar has no effect at all except wasting Chakra.

Looking at the two clones rushing forward, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She had already reminded Gaia before that what she is good at lies in chakra control and physical skills.

If the other party really has the talent to be a ninja, then it should be very clear that this test is actually an assessment of his two aspects.
