Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

On her way here, the crazy scenes that happened between the three of them last night—the live slug, the snow woman, and the shovel—kept replaying in her mind, making her extremely ashamed and angry, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

Just as she was about to explode, Kisame spoke first:

"You've come at the perfect time. As the Sixth Mizukage, it really is you who should put ninja headbands on these brats."

After saying that, he took out a large pile of headbands and ninja uniforms from Kirigakure.

Tsunade was caught off guard by his attack, and seeing a group of teenagers staring at her with anticipation and excitement in their eyes, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and put on a smiling face.

She personally put headbands on the twelve children one by one and solemnly announced that from this day forward, they would be official genin of Kirigakure.

In fact, according to Tsunade, even if these twelve people didn't have much experience in carrying out missions, they would be more than qualified to serve as Jonin.

However, Kisame insisted that they start as genin and even declared that each person's subsequent performance must be personally approved by him before they could be promoted to chunin or jonin.

As a teacher, he was really strict.

"Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin form the first team; Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro form the second team; Deidara, Hozuki Suigetsu, and Jugo form the third team; and Yamato, Hyuga Hinata, and Otsutsuki Toneri form the fourth team."

Kisame immediately announced the class assignments for the twelve genin and informed everyone that from now on, he would no longer value individual performance, but rather the teamwork of each class.

"Starting today, it's a one-year period. After one year, the class with the best overall performance will have all its members promoted and given special rewards, so keep up the good work."

Kisame said casually, offering a pie in the sky for everyone.

Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin exchanged glances and smiled at each other, seeing trust and confidence in their companions' eyes.

The three Temari siblings need no introduction; their blood ties give them a level of understanding unmatched by any other class.

"Hinata, Toneri, I look forward to working with you from now on."

Yamato smiled and spoke to Hinata and Toneri.

"Yamato-kun, it is my honor to be in the same class as you." Toneri bowed to Yamato and said from the bottom of his heart.

Yamato is usually very kind and takes good care of his younger siblings, acting like a reliable and honest older brother. Moreover, when someone misuses the power of a tailed beast and gets into danger, Yamato's Wood Release has played a crucial role on more than one occasion, suppressing the tailed beast's rampage.

Then, Toneri solemnly said to Hinata, "Lady Hinata, I will definitely fulfill my mission to protect you and prevent you from being harmed!"

Hinata blushed upon hearing this, and looking at Toneri, who had no eyes, she was deeply moved.

"Let's work together!" Seeing this, Yamato reached out a hand to encourage the two team members.

"Yes!" Hinata and Toneri nodded heavily, placing their hands on Yamato's hands one after the other. Team 4 seemed to be getting off to a good start.

However, some are happy while others are sad.

In contrast, the three guys in Class 3 were the most unhappy about the class assignments.

"The teacher is so biased! Why are Kimimaro's teammates so strong, while mine are two useless guys?"

Upon hearing that he was on the same team as Suigetsu and Jugo, Deidara immediately jumped up and protested loudly.

"Who are you calling trash, you bastard!"

Hozuki Suigetsu immediately became unhappy, waving his fist and yelling at Deidara, "If you have the guts, then fight me! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

"Stop arguing."

The honest Jugo, seeing the two arguing, anxiously tried to intervene. However, everyone present knew that if he went berserk, no one could stop him.

Just then, Kisame and Tsunade's icy gazes fell on the three of them, causing them to shudder and fall silent, their faces turning pale.

Tsunade was annoyed by the noise these guys were making, which gave her a headache and made her already unhappy mood even more irritable.

Kisame, without any hesitation, said to everyone:

"That's right, I'm just that biased. The first team has the strongest lineup because Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin chose me a few years ago, and they will always be my most valued disciples. As for the third team, you three should reflect on yourselves before complaining about your teammates. I put you three oddballs together so that you wouldn't go around causing trouble for others."

These words silenced Deidara and the other two.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Kisame asked Tsunade a question, but seeing her cold and unresponsive expression, and glancing at the already late sky, he announced to the group that they were dismissed, "That's all for today. Go back and rest. Meet at the Divine Tree Grand Stage at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow. I have prepared your first mission as genin."

After saying that, he vanished from the training ground in a flash.

Tsunade frowned and followed Kisame away. She had to settle accounts with him face to face, otherwise this bastard would become more and more outrageous.

"A mission the day after tomorrow? Great!"

Deidara, his fists clenched, leaped in front of Kimimaro and shouted at him, "Kimimaro, you just wait! Even with two useless teammates, I'll complete the mission and defeat you all by myself!"

"Boring guy."

Kimimaro shook his head and turned to Haku and Karin, saying, "Let's hurry back and tell Mother the good news that we've become genin."

After saying that, he left with his two companions.

"Damn it!" Deidara was so angry that he immediately summoned a clay bird, rode on it, and soared into the sky, leaving his two teammates looking at each other in bewilderment.

The second and fourth classes also left one after another.

The crowd quickly scattered like birds and beasts.

Two days later, the twelve genin from Kirigakure gathered on time at the Divine Tree Grand Stage to await Kisame's assignments.

"The first mission is to go to the Land of Demons, eliminate Yomi who uses dark ninjutsu and the rebel army she leads, and bring back the priestess Shion and the sealed demon called Mouryou."

Kisame took out a pouch containing mission information, gave a brief explanation, and then glanced at Yamato, Hinata, and Toneri before finally looking at them. "Team 4, this mission will be completed by you."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Yamato, as the class monitor, stepped forward, respectfully accepted the document with both hands, and then returned to his companions to discuss it carefully with them.

Kisame took out the second document and continued:

"The second mission is to track down the Sky Village fortress hidden in the primeval forest in the eastern part of the Land of Fire, defeat the Sky Village ninjas, and drive the fortress named Ankelbandian back to Kirigakure. This mission will be completed by Team 3."

After saying that, he tossed the document into Deidara's hands and specifically instructed him, "Remember, bring back the Sky Ninja Village fortress as intact as possible, understand?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Deidara patted his chest and said confidently. He had heard about the exploits of the Sky Ninja Village guys before, and this mission was a piece of cake for him.

305. The Invincible Return

Kisame withdrew his gaze and took out the third document, handing it to Temari from Class 2:

"Recently, the Four Celestial Elephants have emerged in the Land of Craftsmen. These people are attempting to revive Seimei, the founder of the Craftsman Village, and to oppose the Five Great Ninja Villages. If they succeed, the first country to be threatened will be the Land of Water, which is closest to the Land of Craftsmen. Therefore, your mission is to eliminate the Four Celestial Elephants and bring back the special ninja tools they use."

"Yes, ma'am." The three Temari siblings responded confidently after reviewing the mission information.

Finally, only the first team's mission remained, and everyone's eyes were on Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin.

Everyone was curious: what task would the teacher assign to the strongest class—the most difficult, or the simplest and easiest to complete?

"Kimimaro, your mission is simple."

Kisame took out the last intelligence document and said to Team 1, "Find Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja, Uchiha Itachi, kill him, and bring back his Mangekyou Sharingan."

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro's gaze sharpened, and he responded with a hum, stepping forward to take the document from Kisame's hand.

Uchiha Itachi?

The kids from the other three classes whispered among themselves when they heard this somewhat unfamiliar name. This person was an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha who had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. He must be a formidable character.

From this perspective, the task of the first class is quite difficult, at least no easier than the tasks of the other three classes.

"What are you all standing there for? Do you want me to send you off with drums and gongs?"

Kisame interrupted the children's discussion and said coldly.

Deidara, having already skimmed through the intelligence in his hand, could no longer contain himself. He immediately conjured a clay bird and shouted to Jugo and Hozuki Suigetsu:

"You two good-for-nothings, hurry up and get up here! Don't hold me back! I need to complete this task within three days!"

After saying that, he took his two companions and soared into the sky with a whoosh, heading off to cause trouble for the Sky Ninja Village.

"Let's get going quickly."

Temari glanced at Gaara, who immediately understood and formed a hand seal, releasing a cloud of sand from the gourd behind him, which formed a "sand carpet" under the feet of the three of them.

The three members of the second team stepped onto the sand carpet and were suddenly able to fly away from Kirigakure at an extremely fast speed, heading southwest.

"Oh no, we can't fly, what should we do?"

Hinata watched Team 3 and Team 2 fly away one after another and said anxiously, "I didn't expect to fall behind so soon after we started."

"Don't rush, Hinata. The journey from Kirigakure to the Land of Demons is long, and we are destined not to be able to complete the mission before the other classes. So we need to be patient and bring the priestess and the demon back safely."

Yamato offered words of comfort to calm the troops, and then left with Hinata and Toneri.

In contrast, the three members of the first class seemed to be the least in a hurry.

They sat cross-legged, gathered together, carefully read the intelligence on the document, and formulated an action plan before standing up to prepare for departure.

"Kimimaro, come here."

Kisame suddenly beckoned to Kimimaro, "I have something else to tell you."

"Teacher." Kimimaro walked up to Kisame and listened respectfully. His pupils gradually contracted, and his expression changed from surprise to delight.

"Thank you, teacher. I will definitely seize this opportunity." After listening to Kisame's instructions, he bowed to the latter and said in a deep voice.

"Don't let your guard down. If you lose to Itachi Uchiha, don't ever come back."

Kisame said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro was startled, then silently turned around and left with his two companions.

After watching his twelve disciples depart, Kisame turned around and looked at Tsunade, who had appeared behind him at some point.

Speaking of which, this woman is 51 years old this year, and should be called Grandma Tsunade.

However, Tsunade possesses the bloodline of the Senju clan and began cultivating the Yin Seal at a very young age, so she always looks like she's in her twenties.

In the original story, even though she was in her seventies or eighties, she still looked like she did when she was young.

Not to mention, Tsunade has now undergone transplantation of Hashirama cells, fusion with the live slug, and transplantation of the Tenseigan, becoming a Six Paths level powerhouse.

She is at least 1,800 years old now, and it would be perfectly reasonable to say that she is in the prime of her youth.

Kisame noticed that Tsunade seemed to have become more voluptuous, mature, beautiful, and alluring in recent years, which might be related to her becoming a real woman, even though she herself was unwilling.
