Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

After all, no one wants to look into the eyes of a pervert, and Orochimaru is a genuine pervert.

"Cough cough."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed a few times, immediately putting the scene at ease, and even Orochimaru, who was standing to the side, became much more subdued.

He doesn't have that many thoughts yet, and he's not yet a pervert like the one in the original story.

He still greatly respected Hiruzen Sarutobi, his teacher.

"Alright, are you all ready?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi scanned the three members of Tsukijutsu.

The three of them, Yue Shu and Yue Shu, didn't speak; their eyes spoke for them.

"Okay, let me talk about the content of the graduation exam."

"It's very simple."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled.

"You need to snatch the bell from a Jonin. If any one of the three of you succeeds, you can pass."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tsukiki immediately turned his gaze to Orochimaru.

There are only a few people here, and the only Jonin is Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, following Tsuki's gaze, gave Tsuki a look.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up again.

"Although there is only one Jonin, Orochimaru, here, he is not your opponent."

"Eh?"

Kushina and Mikoto exclaimed in surprise, and Tsukiki also paused for a moment.

"When your opponent is your future Jonin mentor, of course, if you can pass."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled.

Ta-da!

A few tapping sounds of wooden planks were heard.

"The hermit of Mount Myōboku".

"Jiraiya joins in—"

A figure jumped out from the side, then landed steadily and struck a pose.

That's right, it was Jiraiya, whom Tsukiki had always longed for.

"Jiraiya?"

Yue Shu stared blankly at the white-haired figure in front of her, while the two women beside her were equally bewildered.

"That's right!"

Jiraiya struck another pose.

"It is I, Jiraiya!"

"Hey, Tsukiki, you're finally graduating early."

Just as Tsukiki was about to say something, Minato Namikaze ran out from the side. This was not surprising, since Jiraiya was already here, and Minato had been following him, so he naturally wouldn't go anywhere else.

"But didn't you bring Minato with you? There are three of us, so isn't that more than three people?"

Tsukiki glanced at Minato Namikaze as a response, then looked at Jiraiya and asked.

"Who told you a squad consists of three people?"

Jiraiya stopped posing and stood up straight.

"—"

Tsukiki couldn't refute it; indeed, no one has ever stipulated that a ninja team consists of only three people.

"If we pass, we'll be Konoha's first four-person team, right?"

Kushina also asked.

"Ah."

Jiraiya nodded affirmatively.

Mikoto and Kushina exchanged a glance; they hadn't expected to become members of Konoha's first four-person team.

"Well, normally it's better for a team to have three people, but Jiraiya offered to take the four of you. Jiraiya is capable of handling this responsibility, so I agreed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said something from the side, then looked at Jiraiya.

"Orochimaru and I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave this to you, Jiraiya."

"Okay, you can go now, old man."

"You should call me teacher, we've been saying it for so long."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to leave in an instant with Orochimaru.

Only Tsuki, Jiraiya, and Minato Namikaze remained at the scene, and the surroundings were quiet and silent.

"Alright, I'm ready. I, Jiraiya, will be your opponent, the hermit of Mount Myōboku."

Jiraiya smiled, his usual approachable demeanor replaced by a sharp and menacing aura.

A powerful aura swept over like a whirlwind, and the three of them could clearly feel the aura emanating from Jiraiya.

That kind of aura comes from truly killing countless enemies on the battlefield, which belongs to the true strongman.

Their breathing became much heavier, especially Kushina and Mikoto, whose bodies even trembled slightly.

Now, standing before them is Jiraiya, a legendary figure from World War II, one of the Three Ninja, a character comparable to a Kage.

Yue Shu smiled; he didn't know why, but he just felt this excitement.

Kushina and Mikoto were the same; upon seeing Tsukiki's smile, they also laughed, their bodies trembling.

Jiraiya was the same.

That's exactly the kind of scene he wanted to see.

The fires of Konoha are not afraid of strong winds; they will only burn brighter and brighter.

Chapter 24: Battle Against Jiraiya

"spread!"

As the graduation exams began, Tsukiki immediately ordered everyone to disperse.

Kushina and Mikoto were no pushovers either; they quickly scattered and hid in the surrounding bushes and behind the trees.

Now only Tsukiki and Jiraiya remain, facing each other.

"Not bad."

Jiraiya said something, while Minato Namikaze watched from the sidelines.

"how about you?"

Jiraiya looked at Tsukiki.

"Are you so confident you can defeat me head-on?"

Tsukiki placed his hand on the hilt of the Kusanagi sword.

"This kind of thing."

You won't know until you try!

"Draw Sword Slash!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a blade of light suddenly rushed towards Jiraiya.

A strand of white hair drifted down, leaving Minato Namikaze stunned.

Jiraiya dodged the attack by sidestepping, but no one expected that Tsukiki's attack would be so fierce.

This slash.

Jiraiya stared at Tsukiki, his heart filled with shock.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet"

Tsukiki is never one to waste words; he makes good use of every weakness his enemies have.

Because of Jiraiya's attempt to evade, Tsukiki discovered a flaw in his strategy.

A fire dragon spewed from the bulging mouth of the Moon Tree, scorching the air as it headed towards Jiraiya.

"Wind Release, Great Breakthrough".

Kushina's voice came from the side.

No one expected that Kushina would take the initiative to enhance Tsuki's ninjutsu at this moment.

The Fire Dragon Flame Bullet was blown even more fiercely by the wind, and at one point it directly rose from a B-rank ninjutsu to almost an A-rank level.

Jiraiya smiled.

These kids are really interesting.

Jiraiya remained calm, reaching into his ninja tool pouch at his waist and pulling out a scroll.

"Sealing Technique, Fire Sealing Seal."

Jiraiya yanked the scroll open, and the white paper part was aimed directly at the incoming Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

Incredible! This scroll was like a vortex, directly absorbing the Moon Tree's Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

"Here you go."

Jiraiya began forming hand seals again.

Swish.

Several shuriken flew from the side, attempting to interrupt Jiraiya's hand seals.
