I'm afraid it's hard for Orochimaru to understand the brain circuits of foodies, after all, he has never had much demand for food.

The only things I like to eat are eggs, apples, and Kusanagi swords...... And yourself.

At first glance, he is a person who can put anything in his mouth and is not picky at all.

However, Orochimaru finally became a little interested in this little girl named Mitarai Red Bean at this time.

No wonder the teacher would recommend this child to be his apprentice, it turned out that he was not completely fooling him.

Orochimaru thought so in his heart.

However, it was too early to tell, and he decided to continue observing.

Just like he was observing the changes in the toad on the table......

Then he did not turn his head, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Wait a minute, if you're bored, you can go over there and find a book on the shelf."

"Oh."

After Red Bean answered, he walked to the bookshelf that Orochimaru said, looked at the books stuffed on it, and couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

Because she hasn't read so many books since she was born!

What to see?

Although Hongdou has not been interested in reading since she was a child, in order to make a good impression on Wei Shu, she still decided to pick a copy and read it.

And what she didn't know at this time was that the big snake pill behind her was also paying a little attention to her choice, and she was also a little curious about what books she would choose.

Because this is actually part of the assessment.

"Introduction to Ninja", "Kojiki", "The Shrine Maiden and the Dog Demon", "Pillar and Madara: The Forbidden Wild Rose", ......

Xiao Hongdou used his small amount of literacy to easily identify the title of the book on the back of the book, only to feel dazzled, and it was difficult to pick out a book that could get the favor of Wei Shu.

Just when she felt that her little brain was starting to overload, the title of a book caught her eye.

The title of this book is so long, it looks amazing.

"It's up to you!"

Red Bean stood on tiptoe and pulled out a book that was not too thick from the higher level of the shelf.

The name of the book is "Psychic Beast Niang Evaluation Guide - Snake Niang's Volume".

Just as she was holding the book and about to open it, suddenly a white shadow flashed, and the book was gently snatched away before she could react.

"I'm sorry, but this book is too early for you."

The big snake pill who appeared in front of the red bean said with a strange expression.

"Huh-"

Red Bean subconsciously raised his hands and wanted to jump up and grab them, but under the gaze of Orochimaru's golden eyes, he finally took his hand back in a daze.

But she couldn't help but mutter:

"I'm not a three-year-old anymore."

"I'm going to ninja school this year, and I'm already old enough to fall in love......"

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, because he actually found that this was a little irrefutable.

Shouldn't I discuss the phenomenon of puppy love among ninja school students with my teacher?

He couldn't help but think to himself.

At the same time, seeing Xiao Hongdou's behavior, Orochimaru didn't know what memories were evoked, and his expression softened slightly.

After glancing at the bookshelf, he took out a thin picture album and handed it to Red Bean, saying:

"You just have to read this book first, and then wait a minute......"

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, a sudden strange noise from the other side of the laboratory interrupted his words.

He handed the album to Red Bean, and then casually stuffed the "Psychic Beast Niang Evaluation Guide: Snake Niang's Volume" back on the shelf, then turned around and walked back quickly.

And Hongdou was holding the picture album in her hand, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the book on the bookshelf that Orochimaru didn't let her read, her big eyes turned around, and she didn't know what she was doing.

When he returned to the experimental table, he saw that the toad was making a faint wail, and at the same time, snake-like scales continued to grow on his body.

Orochimaru looked accustomed to it, and began to pick up paper and pen, recording the state of the toad, while muttering to himself:

"It seems that the effect of the neutralizer this time is not very good, is there really no safe way to cultivate the immortal mode, can only gamble on your life......"

Red Bean was sitting at the table next to him, spreading out the album on the table and flipping through it.

This album is titled "The Tale of Er Lei Ye Haojie", which tells the story of the great hero Er Lei Ye and his wife Tezuna working together to defeat the big demon king Xiao Snake Pill.

Author anonymous.

Although the story is obviously very simple, and the pictures on it are very poor, it is more than enough to fool a child like Hongdou and make her watch it with relish.

After reading it quickly, she also flipped back to the beginning and began to brush it twice.

It's just that her second brush hasn't finished yet, and Orochimaru's side has already finished researching.

After an abrupt wail, the half-snake and half-toad monster on the table finally couldn't withstand the drastic changes in its body, and whimpered for its life.

After Orochimaru sighed, he didn't dispose of the corpse for the time being, but turned around and walked to Hongdou's side, looking at her who was still looking at the album seriously, her eyes were a little complicated.

In fact, he didn't have much resistance to accepting red beans as an apprentice.

After all, there is a teacher's recommendation, which means that there is no problem with this little girl's qualifications, as long as she does not die young, she can at least become an elite in the upper ninja under his teaching.

And judging from her performance just now, in terms of personality, he couldn't help but think of his former disciples, and there was no big problem with his physiognomy.

Finally, and most importantly, that is that Azuki's father, Mitarai Zixiao, a powerful subordinate of the teacher, died in an important mission not long ago.

So Mitarai is a small ninja clan, and now only the orphans and widows of Red Bean and her mother are left.

That's why the teacher suggested that he take this child as a disciple so early, in order to provide them with shelter and reduce the covetousness of others.

So even if it's just on the surface, he doesn't mind accepting this child as a disciple.

It's just that everyone is afraid of comparing goods.

After missing Yusheng Xia Yan, a perfect disciple, the red beans that were originally good made him a little unmotivated.

Not to mention that if he accepts Xia Yan as an apprentice, he will be able to provide him with a lot of help immediately, and with Hongdou's current age, it will be at least five years before he can barely help him.

Considering the energy and resources invested, he decided that he would have to go through more tests to decide whether to raise the child in the future, whether to raise it free-range or intensively......

……

Konoha is in a remote grove.

In the canopy of a large leafy tree, there is a somewhat shoddy tree house.

In the treehouse, Asma, Obito, and Ebisu are gathered together, looking very serious.

"Ahem, ahem."

Asma cleared her throat and said:

"Then, the fifth shuriken clan combat meeting has officially begun, and this time it will be me, the captain, to preside over the meeting."
