Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Chapter 176 Test
I'm afraid it's hard for Orochimaru to understand the brain circuit of a foodie, after all, he has never had much demand for food.

The only things he likes to eat are eggs, apples, Kusanagi sword... and himself.

At first glance, you can put anything into the import, and you are not picky at all.

But Orochimaru finally became interested in this little girl named Mitarai Anko at this time.

No wonder the teacher recommended this kid as his apprentice, it turned out that he wasn't completely fooling him.

Orochimaru thought so in his heart.

But it was too early to make a conclusion, so he decided to continue to observe.

Just as he was observing the change of the toad on the table...

Then he still didn't turn his head, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Please wait a moment. If you feel bored, you can go to the bookshelf over there and find a book to read."

"Oh."

After Hongdou responded, she walked to the bookshelf that Orochimaru had mentioned, looked at the books that were stuffed to the brim, and couldn't help but let out a sound of amazement.

Because she has never read so many books since she was born!

What would you like to see?
Although Hongdou had no interest in reading books since she was a child, she still decided to pick one to read in order to make a good impression on Wei Shushu.

What she didn't know at this time was that Orochimaru behind her was also paying attention to her choice, and was also a little curious about what book she would choose.

Because this is actually part of the assessment.

"Introduction to Ninja", "The Chronicle of Ancient Matters", "The Witch and the Dog Demon", "Hashirama and Madara: The Forbidden Wild Rose"...

Xiao Hongdou struggled to identify the titles on the back of the book with her limited literacy, feeling dazzled, and it was difficult to pick out a book that could win the favor of Wei Shushu.

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

The name of this book is so long, it looks very powerful.

"It's up to you!"

Hongdou stood on tiptoe and pulled out a book that was not too thick from the higher shelf.

The name of the book is "Guide to Evaluation of Psychic Beast Girls: Volume of Snake Girl".

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

"Sorry, this book is too early for you."

Orochimaru who appeared in front of Hongdou had a strange expression.

"Eh--"

Hongdou raised her hands subconsciously, wanting to jump up and grab it, but under the gaze of Orochimaru's golden eyes, she finally took her hands back embarrassingly.

But she still couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"I'm no longer a three-year-old kid."

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

Orochimaru twitched the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard the words, because he unexpectedly found that these words were somewhat irrefutable.

Should I discuss with the teacher about the phenomenon of puppy love among ninja school students?

He couldn't help thinking like this.

At the same time, seeing Xiaohongdou's behavior, Dashewan didn't know what memories were brought up, and his expression softened a little.

After glancing at the bookshelf, he took out a thin album and handed it to Hongdou, saying:
"Just read this book first, just wait a little longer..."

Orochimaru hadn't finished speaking, but a sudden abnormal noise from the test bench interrupted his words.

He handed the album to Hong Dou, and then casually put the "Psychic Beast Girl Appraisal Guide: Snake Girl Volume" back on the bookshelf, then turned around and walked back quickly.

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

Back at Orochimaru in front of the experiment table, he saw that the toad was whining weakly, and at the same time, snake-like scales continued to grow on its body.

Orochimaru looked accustomed to it, and began to pick up the paper and pen to record the state of the toad, and at the same time muttered 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, and you can only gamble with your life..."

Hongdou was sitting at the table beside him, spreading out the album on the table and flipping through it.

This picture album is called "Erreiya Hero Story", which tells the story of the great hero Reiya and his wife Tezuna defeating the big devil Koshemaru together.

Author unknown.

Although the story is obviously very simple, and the pictures on it are also very crude, but it is more than enough to fool a child like Hongdou, so she can read it with gusto.

After reading it quickly, she turned back to the beginning and started to brush it up again.

It's just that her second brush is not over yet, and Dashewan has finished her research.

After an abrupt wailing, the half-snake, half-toad monster on the table finally couldn't bear the drastic changes in its body, and died.

After Dashemaru sighed, he didn't deal with 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, with complicated eyes.

In fact, he didn't have much resistance to accepting Hongdou as his apprentice.

After all, there is a teacher's recommendation, which shows that there is nothing wrong with the little girl's aptitude. As long as she doesn't die young, she can at least become an elite among Jonin under his guidance.

And judging from her performance just now, she also reminded him of his former disciples in terms of personality, and there was no major problem in terms of compatibility.

Finally, and most importantly, Anko's father, Mitarai Zixiao, the teacher's capable subordinate, died in an important mission not long ago.

So Mitarai, a small ninja, now only Anko and her mother, the orphan and widow, are left.

That's why the teacher suggested him to accept this child as a disciple so early, in order to use this title to provide them with shelter and reduce others' coveting.

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

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

After missing the perfect disciple Yusheng Xia Yan, Hongdou, who was not bad at first, made him a little bit unmotivated.

Not to mention that if he accepted Xia Yan as his apprentice, he would be able to provide him with a lot of help immediately, but at Hongdou's current age, it would take at least five years before he could barely help him.

Considering the energy and resources invested, he decided to conduct more tests to decide the future training policy for this child, whether to free-range or intensively raise...

……

In a remote grove in Konoha.

In the canopy of a big leafy tree, there is a somewhat crude tree house hidden.

In the tree house, Asma, Obito, and Ebisu were all gathered together with serious expressions.

"Cough cough cough."

I only heard Asma clear her throat and say:

"Then, the fifth Shuriken Squad battle meeting officially begins, this time I, the captain, will preside over the meeting."
