The beginning of July of the forty-fourth year of Konoha.

In front of the main gate of Konoha Village.

Hundreds of civilians and ninjas gather here to greet the heroes returning from the battlefields of the Land of Rain.

Half a month has passed since the end of the Third Ninja World War, the battlefield has been cleared, and the wounded have been escorted back to Konoha in advance, and the ninja army has finally returned.

At the front of the queue were, of course, the Hokage of Hizai, and the Konoha Elder Danzo. Masahiko didn't use his original identity, but stood in the crowd with Obito, a junior apprentice, and his daughter Sara in the appearance of a Taobao shopkeeper.

The leader of the ninja force is the mirror, followed by a group of upper ninjas led by Orochimaru, and then behind is the large army of middle ninja and lower ninja, and those new middle ninjas who have won the battlefield "experience ticket" are also among them.

"Isn't it there? Where did you take the material? Masahiko smiled and shook his head, a little guess in his heart, and a little disappointed.

He actually wanted to see what kind of exaggerated behavior Jiraiya had under the cheers of everyone. As for the big snake pill, "yin" with a snake face is really boring.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that the feeling that Orochimaru gives him has become a little weird.

"Are you still exposed to human experiments?" Masahiko guessed.

Beside him, Obito's fighting spirit was almost burning, and Masahiko saw that his gaze was firmly focused on Maitkai's body. It is worth mentioning that in the previous middle ninja exam, Obito was still defeated at Kai's feet.

However, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and he has successfully opened the double hook jade writing wheel, and his self-confidence is bursting, and he wants to "be ashamed before the snow".

Don't talk about Kai now, if it weren't for Shuo Mao taking Kakashi to test his prosthetic limbs in the Land of Vortex, Obito would have gone to "call the number" a long time ago.

The ninja troops received a moment of cheers and applause at the gate of Konoha and endured the baptism of the "Will of Fire" for a few minutes, and then disbanded and returned to their respective families (clans).

"Alright, there's nothing more to be done, let's go back." Masahiko tilted his head to speak.

Obito's expression is very strange, it is an expression mixed with fear, anxiety and anticipation.

"Now, master, you see...... Lynn? Obito stumbled and spoke.

Masahiko was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, with a sad face, "I didn't see it, I'm afraid Lin...... War! ”

Sara covered her mouth in surprise.

Obito's tears immediately welled up in his eyes, "Impossible! We must have missed it. ”

"Obito, accept the facts. I'm sad about Lynn too......"

"I don't believe it!"

Obito said, and was about to rush out, but was pulled by Masahiko.

"I just opened the two hook jade, can't this method really let you open the three hook jade?" Masahiko sighed.

Obito was stunned for a long time, not understanding what was going on.

Sara took her hand off her lips with a smile on her face.

"Father, you bullied Obito again, hasn't Lin been back for a few days?"

Masahiko smiled and explained, "I think Obito seems to be a ...... Easy to open the eyes physique, I want to stimulate him to try. ”

Looking at the ignorant Obito, Masahiko continued to speak: "Do you see that there are any wounded in the team just now?" A big war, how could Konoha not have been killed or wounded, but for some reason, maybe to reassure civilians or something, in order not to let them know the specific number of dead and wounded, the wounded were secretly sent to Konoha Hospital. Rin, a medical ninja, came back a few days ago and has been busy in the hospital. ”

Obito glared at Masahiko sharply, turned around and ran towards Konoha Hospital.

"Father, Obito seems to be angry."

Masahiko touched his chin, "It seems a bit excessive, but I'm doing it for his good." If you don't get a little stimulus, what year can you hook jade, let alone kaleidoscope......"

……

……

Time passed, and it was another week.

Obito's anger came quickly, and he walked faster, and at this time, he was chattering about the recent events and small affairs of Konoha Village in front of Masahiko.

"Master, don't you know how surprised those uncles in the clan are to know that I opened my eyes, and it is directly a double hook jade......

"Kai that guy is really good, I just opened my eyes and was able to draw with him. However, I have already started to learn some of the family's advanced fire escape ninjutsu, and I will soon be able to surpass him...... When Kakashi comes back, I'm going to teach him a good lesson too! ”

……

Masahiko listened to the various show-offs with a blank face, and he was helpless in his heart, thanks to the fact that he didn't open the three hook jades, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go to heaven?

"Master, you know what? Tsunade-sama and Orochimaru-sama in the Three Ninja are about to accept disciples, and Rin has been preparing for this matter these days. ”

This sentence made Masahiko stunned and reacted a little.

"Why don't you go?" Masahiko smiled and spoke.

Obitu and Shuimen only belong to the master and apprentice on the team, and they will not delay him from apprenticeship.

Obito looked left and right, and lowered his voice, "Master, don't you think Orochimaru-sama is a little ...... Is it hard to reach? ”

"You're not confused."

Bringing the soil to worship Orochimaru as a teacher, that's a big joke.

However, Masahiko was a little concerned about this matter, because it would bring him some witnesses as expected.

In the days that followed, Masahiko was personally involved in the selection of apprentices between Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Tsunade's selection of apprentices is very formal, and it is simply a medical ninja assessment within the age of fifteen. After layers of screening, as well as Masahiko's slight assistance, Tsunade made an exception and chose two disciples, Harano Lin and Shizune.

Lin is more inclined towards medical treatment and strange powers, while Mute is more inclined towards poison making and detoxification.

"Strange Lilin?" Masahiko really couldn't imagine what it looked like, but he still silently thought in his heart: "Obito, you can ask for more blessings." ”

Later, at Orochimaru's place, Masahiko also got a message that made him a little concerned.

"You said that Jilai also accepted a disciple in the Land of Rain?"

Seeing that Orochimaru nodded in confirmation, Masahiko groaned slightly, "It's the country of rain, how can it be so coincidental." ”

"That stupid guy, who knows what he thinks, although his new disciple has some ninjutsu foundation, he is not too young." Orochimaru smiled playfully.

Masahiko no longer cared about the matter of Jiraiya's apprenticeship, but frowned and glanced at the big snake pill with a strange expression, "Human experiments or something, it's better to touch less." ”

Orochimaru nodded, and didn't deny it, "Got it, senior." ”

After that, Orochimaru began to select apprentices, completely different from Tsunade, without assessment, and without even going to see those candidates with his own eyes.

When he came to Hizai and briefly flipped through a few pages of the roster, Orochimaru's eyes focused on a single name.

"Just her, teacher."

Ri Chop had a slight headache, "Are you sure you don't have an assessment?" ”

"Nope."

"Well, that's it, let's call the child called Mitarai Red Bean."

Masahiko gained ten more testimony points from this apprenticeship, but he always had a sense of incongruity in his heart.

"It's okay for Tsunade to choose apprentices, after all, there are layers of selection. Orochimaru, how can it be like a joke...... But it's quite in line with his character. ”
