Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

That's Mapo Tofu.

Just twenty minutes later, the three of them lay contentedly on the floor.

Jiraiya rubbed his belly as he spoke:

"I never expected you to cook so well, Kagura. I think it's a waste for you to be a ninja. You should open a restaurant."

"Hiccup~~~"

Although I really wanted to argue with him, at that moment I felt that Jiraiya was right!

Tsunade let out a burp without any decorum and agreed.

Orochimaru didn't speak, but closed his eyes as if savoring the taste from just now.

Kagura sat calmly at the table, picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and didn't want to pay any attention to them.

"By the way, guess who our respective team leaders will be tomorrow?"

Tsunade rolled over and sat up, then suddenly asked a question.

As if that had opened up a topic, the three of them started chattering away.

Finally, even Kagura, who seemed like an old man, gradually joined the discussion.

Youth is always wonderful, and soon the sounds of noise and joyful laughter came from Kagura's house.

The bright moon had quietly climbed into the night sky, and the three of them came out of Kagura's house one after another.

He waved goodbye to Kagura as he walked home.

Watching the group depart, Kagura stood at the door, seemingly wanting to preserve this moment of ease.

"Cough cough..."

I never expected you'd invite Kagura to your home; that really surprises me.

Just then, a voice came from beside me.

Kagura turned her head and looked at her, saying respectfully:

"Good evening, Mr. Jing."

The speaker was Uchiha Kagami, a rare member of the Uchiha clan who earned Tobirama Senju's trust.

Last year, when he accompanied Tobirama Senju to Kumogakure to sign a ceasefire agreement, he was attacked by Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Kumogakure.

In order to help him and Danzo escape their predicament, Tobirama Senju faced the enemy alone, but later died from severe injuries.

Although Uchiha Kagami escaped back to the village from that ambush, he was seriously injured and fell ill.

Kagura, who was familiar with the plot, knew that this peace-loving clansman in front of her probably wouldn't live past this year.

Smiling at Kagura, Uchiha Kagami spoke:

"Kagura, you're so lonely. You're always alone, which makes people a little worried."

But seeing that you've started making friends puts my mind at ease.

I'm afraid I won't live much longer. The Uchiha clan is far too proud. I have a feeling that something might go wrong in the future.

I hope that your generation can lead the Uchiha clan to truly integrate into Konoha.

Ah, your hunch was right.

It's not just that there will be problems; in 20 years, they'll be wiped out!

Kagura mentally made a couple of complaints, but didn't respond.

He just stared at the slightly blurry figure in the distance and muttered to himself:

"Companions?"

It seems pretty good...

The next morning, Kagura arrived at the meeting point that the school had notified him of the day before.

Aside from being curious about the team members and the Jonin who would lead the team in the next few years, he was also mainly concerned because the system had issued him another mission last night.

Mission: Successfully seize the Jonin's bell during the team assessment.

Task Reward: 1. Unlock Tailed Beast Training.

2. You can randomly select one ninjutsu and learn it.

The tailed beast he longed for!

As the protagonist, if you're not carrying a few tailed beasts while venturing into this world, you'd be embarrassed to even show your face.

The so-called assessment, which she hadn't cared about before, suddenly became important, so Kagura adjusted her mindset well in advance.

As time passed, he finally met up with the other team members and the Jonin leading the team.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the sight of those figures.

How could it be them?

Chapter 5, Class 7

As Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade slowly approached, Kagura looked at the note in her hand that recorded the meeting point with a puzzled expression.

"Why is it you/all of you?"

Both of them asked the question at the same time.

Indeed, it's understandable that they reacted this way.

The rule of forming groups of three was established after the founding of Konoha.

Last night, after learning that the three had formed a team as in the original story, neither side asked about their respective meeting point.

After all, everyone subconsciously assumed that they had been assigned to different groups.

"Hehe, you've come to the right meeting point."

Due to a shortage of students this year, Kagura was specially added to our Class 7.

While everyone was still confused, a voice came from above them.

As they looked up at the sound, a figure stood in a tree, looking down at them.

"Sarutobi-sensei?"

The four of them said in unison.

"hehe."

With a slight smile, Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped down from the tree and continued:

"Therefore, there will be 4 people in Class 7 this year."

And I am your class teacher.

"But, teacher, aren't you about to take over as Hokage?"

"Can you also lead us out to pick up other missions?"

Tsunade asked, puzzled.

Sarutobi scratched his head and explained:

"I haven't taken office yet, so I still need to finish the work I have on hand."

My current task is to lead Team 7. Later, if I become Hokage, other Jonin will naturally become your teachers.

"All right."

After clapping his hands, he took out three bells from his waist and continued with a smile:

"Getting back to the main point, all ninjas who have just become genin must undergo an examination."

Do you see the three bells in my hand?

No matter what method you use, as long as you can snatch the bell from my hand, you are considered qualified.

If none of you manage to grab one, then I will rank you based on your performance.

The person who doesn't get the bell will be tied to a stake as punishment.

After saying that, he pulled his hand inward, and the three bells disappeared from his hand.

He took out an incense stick from his coat, lit it, and stuck it into the wooden stake. Looking at the crowd before him, he announced:

"The assessment will officially begin and will last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's eyes sharpened, several dark figures flashed by, and everyone disappeared from the spot.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Sarutobi crossed his arms, rested his right hand on his chin, and chuckled:

"Let's begin the game."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot.

Jiraiya was currently perched on a tree, his eyes fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi not far ahead.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had his right hand resting on his brow, looking around as if searching for them.

Jiraiya's gaze was drawn to the bell hanging from his waist, and he smiled smugly.

"Hehe, teacher, you really underestimated your opponent."

Taking advantage of the moment when Sarutobi turned his body around and had his back completely to him.

"Chance!"

He glared fiercely, then suddenly leaped down from the tree and charged towards Sarutobi's retreating figure.

"Ha ha!

The bell is mine now!

Ah~~~~~~~~~~”

Before he could finish speaking, a rope suddenly got caught on his foot.

He was suddenly hoisted up, his head hanging in mid-air.
