Konoha Training Ground.

"Tianyuan, I finally found you. Kakashi is out now," Might Guy said.

"So?" Tianyuan looked at Might Guy calmly.

"So, let's have a competition!" Might Guy's mouth stretched into a brilliant, toothy grin.

"Hmm, Guy, I'm trying something," Tianyuan said.

"Trying what?" Might Guy asked curiously.

"Pikachu, come," Tianyuan said indifferently.

"Pika..." Pikachu jumped to the ground.

"What kind of animal is this? It looks very cute," Might Guy said, looking at the creature with mild curiosity, no other thoughts in his mind.

The Naruto World was vast, and any creature could exist.

Not to mention this mouse-like creature.

"Come on," Might Guy got into a fighting stance.

"Chuu..." Pikachu's entire body crackled with lightning, striking Might Guy when he least expected it.

Might Guy was scorched black, his hair stood on end, and electricity pulsed continuously around him.

"Hit in one go, Guy, your luck is very good," Tianyuan said, looking at the motionless Might Guy, then directly left. Pikachu naturally followed closely.

Five Thunderbolt uses for one paralysis, and Might Guy was hit directly. Indeed, his luck was good.

A moment later.

Might Guy twitched his body. "Tianyuan is indeed formidable. What kind of Lightning Release Ninjutsu was that? My body couldn't move!"

"No, I still need to strengthen my taijutsu. Continue running fifty laps around the Konoha Cannon," Might Guy declared, his figure flashing as he left.

The next day, in a classroom at the Ninja Academy.

Here were the students who had just graduated yesterday. Today, they were to be formally assigned to teams.

"Tianyuan, I wonder who our supervising teacher will be," Anko Mitarashi asked curiously.

"I don't know, we'll see," Tianyuan shook his head, a few thoughts in his mind. This time, their teacher would likely be no ordinary person.

Judging by the strength Tianyuan displayed yesterday, an ordinary ninja couldn't possibly be Tianyuan's teacher.

Otherwise, Tianyuan would surpass them in no time, which would be a joke.

Moreover, the Third Hokage and others came to observe the Ninja Academy graduation yesterday, which might have been partly for this reason.

This wasn't Tianyuan being narcissistic, but after watching the entire process yesterday, few people truly showed impressive performance. Most seemed about average, even Anko was decent.

However, in the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, such strength was perhaps seen every year in a few students, so it was nothing special.

But someone like Tianyuan was a rare sight.

A genius like Kakashi was destined to become a Jonin, and Jonin were the high-end power of ninjas.

Slowly, students were called out one by one, each taken away by their respective supervising teachers. But Tianyuan and Anko remained.

Eventually, only Tianyuan and Anko were left.

Looking at the quiet classroom, Anko couldn't help but ask, "By the way, where's our supervising teacher?"

"Here," Tianyuan looked towards the door, where a ninja slowly walked in. This ninja's face looked somewhat pale, instilling a chilling sensation in those who saw him.

"Orochimaru," Tianyuan thought with a wry smile. It seemed Orochimaru had become his supervising teacher, and Anko was no exception.

Orochimaru was the last person Tianyuan wanted to interact with closely. After all, at this point, Orochimaru should already be conducting human experiments. However, he thought that he hadn't revealed any special abilities.

And even if he truly became Orochimaru's student, Orochimaru wouldn't easily make a move on him.

Realistically, the best scenario would have been to be with Tsunade or Jiraiya, both of whom Tianyuan was familiar with.

But it had to be Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru," Anko's eyes sparkled with joy. It seemed the Konoha's Sannin had a very great reputation, as even these Ninja Academy students knew about Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Their fame was probably second only to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Tianyuan, could our teacher be Lord Orochimaru?" Anko whispered.

Tianyuan didn't speak; it was quite obvious.

"You two, follow me," Orochimaru said indifferently, his tone somewhat cold.

He truly lived up to his reputation as a cold-blooded creature. Tianyuan wondered if Orochimaru had already started modifying himself.

However, he thought it unlikely; Orochimaru's self-modifications would likely begin when he formed Otogakure.

Orochimaru led Tianyuan and Anko to the balcony of a certain building.

"Tianyuan, Anko, starting today, I am your supervising teacher. My name is Orochimaru. You both know me, right?" Orochimaru's slender eyes scanned Tianyuan and Anko.

"Yes, Teacher Orochimaru," Tianyuan and Anko quickly replied.

"Good. Tell me what you like and what your goals are," Orochimaru said.

"I'll go first! What I like is dango, and my goal is..." Anko glanced at Tianyuan. "I want to surpass Tianyuan!"

Well, Tianyuan was inexplicably shot.

"Me? Nothing much, I like to search for video signals. As for a goal, I don't have one temporarily," Tianyuan said.

"Video signals?" Orochimaru paused, wondering what that meant.

This was just Tianyuan rephrasing "receiving video signals" in a more poetic way.

"Alright," Orochimaru nodded. "Gather here tomorrow morning at nine. You will also have a teammate join this team."

"Yes, Teacher Orochimaru," Tianyuan and Anko replied.

"Good," Orochimaru nodded, his figure flashing as he leaped into the distance.

"Tianyuan, Teacher Orochimaru! I never thought we'd be assigned to Teacher Orochimaru. The other graduating students will definitely envy us!" Anko was still very excited.

"They really will envy us," Tianyuan looked at Anko speechlessly.

Later, Anko would be inflicted with a Cursed Seal by Orochimaru.

"Staying with Orochimaru, I need to quickly increase my strength. Otherwise, if he takes an interest in me, it won't be good," Tianyuan thought to himself.

"Hmm, still need to receive video signals."
