Bang--!
Jiraiya caiu de bunda, seu corpo se contraindo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen e Orochimaru olharam para a postura nojenta de Jiraiya e olharam para Tsunade ao mesmo tempo.
"Eu não usei força nenhuma, ele estava muito fraco!"
Tsunade disse bufando enquanto cruzava os braços sobre o peito.
"O que você disse!"
Jiraiya de repente pulou do chão como um peixe salgado.
Devo dizer que as pessoas neste mundo são realmente fortes em resistir a golpes.
Mesmo depois de ser derrubado de um lugar tão alto pelo soco de Tsunade, ele saiu ileso, como se nada tivesse acontecido.
"Tosse!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen tossiu levemente e estendeu a mão, atraindo a atenção dos três. Ao abrir as mãos, dois sinos caíram de suas palmas, tremendo e emitindo sons nítidos.
"Há dois sinos, e o que eles representam é..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen não continuou falando. Ele acreditava que eles eram espertos o suficiente para já saberem as consequências para aqueles que não conseguissem pegar o sino.
"Serei amarrado a uma estaca?"
Jiraiya olhou para o sino na mão de Sarutobi Hiruzen e lhe disse as consequências de não receber o sino.
"Muito perspicaz, Jiraiya."
"Se eu tocar o sino, você sai comigo?"
Jiraiya olhou feio para Orochimaru e disse que não ousava incomodar Tsunade, que era um homem violento.
Você ainda não desistiu?"
Orochimaru suspirou interiormente, pensando que Jiraiya estava falando com Tsunade.
Orochimaru percebeu tardiamente que Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen e Jiraiya estavam todos olhando para ele.
"Hã? Você está falando comigo?"
"Não estou falando com você. Estou falando com aquela garota violenta?!"
Jiraiya disse loucamente, aparentemente alheio às emoções que vinha guardando há meio dia.
"Quem você está chamando de mulher violenta, seu pervertido!"
Tsunade cerrou os punhos e estava prestes a socar Jiraiya.
"Não é você!"
Jiraiya apontou para Tsunade.
"Diga de novo!"
"Eu não vou te contar!"
Orochimaru, espremido entre os dois, parecia envergonhado por ambos o usarem como barreira, e um suor frio brotou em seu rosto. Ele tinha muito medo da força extraordinária de Tsunade e temia que pudesse machucá-la acidentalmente enquanto lutava contra Jiraiya.
Sarutobi Hiruzen assistiu à cena e ficou profundamente comovido ao ver que o relacionamento entre as três crianças era realmente bom. Ele acreditava que elas se tornariam amigas íntimas que confiariam uma na outra no futuro.
"Tudo bem."
Sarutobi Hiruzen bateu palmas para interromper a discussão entre Jiraiya e Tsunade e disse: "Começa oficialmente agora. Quem não pegar o sino será amarrado a uma estaca."
Sarutobi Hiruzen parou ali e disse seriamente: "Ataquem com a determinação de me matar!"
Assim que Sarutobi Hiruzen terminou de falar, as três pessoas se transformaram em três sombras negras e desapareceram da vista de Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The battle to get the bell took place between Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu, and Mizutokado En when they were young. Afterward, he was tied to a wooden stake by the Second Hokage.
The battle to get the bell focuses on testing teamwork, strategic planning, and reaction time.
Although the First Shinobi World War has passed, there are still minor frictions between Konoha and other ninja villages. Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to use the bell-stealing battle to assess the quality of the students he leads as ninjas. This also ties into his subsequent teachings.
No rash action?
Sarutobi Hiruzen waited there for a while. No one came to snatch the bell from his hand. He placed the bell on the ground, picked up his lunchbox, and began eating. With such a major flaw exposed, someone would surely come running.
Orochimaru crouched in the bushes and watched Sarutobi Hiruzen eating his bento with a drunken expression on his face. To be honest, she couldn't understand what was so delicious about the bento. It was probably some kind of wife's bento.
Is no one taking any action?
Tsunade was crouched in a tree, watching Sarutobi Hiruzen mindlessly eating his lunchbox, and immediately spotted Jiraiya behind the tree.
No way…
Tsunade realized something, and as soon as she thought of it, Jiraiya rushed toward Sarutobi Hiruzen, who seemed full of flaws, reached out to grab the bell on the ground, and then was suspended by the rope, swinging in the air, like a fish being hung by a fisherman, his body twisting vigorously as he emerged from the water.
"Cooperation?"
"How to cooperate?"
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru under the tree and jumped to the ground.
"Surprise attack."
Orochimaru formed hand seals, and the smoke dissipated with a roar. A shadow clone appeared beside him, and then his real body transformed into a shuriken. The shadow clone reached out and grabbed the shuriken.
"I'll attract Sarutobi-sensei's attention, and you'll find a way to make Sarutobi-sensei unaware of the shuriken."
Orochimaru's shadow clone showed Tsunade the shuriken in his hand, which had transformed from his original body.
"Learn."
Tsunade understood Orochimaru's plan, and an excited smile appeared on her face.
"Then let the battle begin."
Orochimaru ran out from behind a tree, waved his hand, and threw a shuriken.
Jiraiya exclaimed, falling face-first to the ground.
Sarutobi Hiruzen easily dodged Orochimaru's thrown shuriken.
"Got it!"
Tsunade dashed out from a tree and struck Sarutobi Hiruzen with her clenched fists.
Bang--!
The shuriken stuck in the tree turned into smoke, and Orochimaru's true form appeared, aiming the bell at Sarutobi Hiruzen's waist.
Bang--!
Sarutobi Hiruzen transformed into a wooden stake in the smoke and was then smashed to pieces by Tsunade's punch.
Substitution technique?!
There was a flash of surprise in Tsunade's eyes.
Orochimaru was startled, pulling a smoke bomb from his ninja tool bag and throwing it to the ground.
That's it!
When the smoke cleared, Jiraiya saw a bell on the ground. Thinking it had been accidentally dropped by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he reached out to pick it up. Suddenly, cracks appeared in the ground, and a pair of hands reached out and grabbed his feet.
"Earth Escape Technique: Heart Decapitation!"
Jiraiya screamed as he was pulled to the ground, leaving only his head sticking out.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared speechlessly at Jiraiya, who had fallen into the same trap twice. It was such an obvious trap; only Jiraiya would fall for it so many times.
Jiraiya looked at the bell so close to him with a reluctant look on his face, wondering if he could catch it if he moved a little faster.
Bang--!
The bell transformed into Orochimaru, and the bell Sarutobi Hiruzen had deliberately set as a trap fell into Orochimaru's hands.
I see, the smoke bomb just now... it anticipated I would set a trap, so... it switched the bells in the smoke?
A flash of surprise and understanding flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. He suddenly thought that the Orochimaru in front of him might not be Orochimaru himself, but a shadow clone.
At that moment, the sound of the ground cracking could be heard.
Cracks appeared in the ground, and a pair of pale hands reached out and grabbed his feet. It was the Earth Escape and Heart Decapitation Technique!
"Good opportunity!"
Tsunade seized the opportunity to snatch the bell from Sarutobi Hiruzen's waist.
"Orochimaru, when did you learn Earth Escape?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Orochimaru could create shadow clones, but he didn't know Orochimaru could also use Earth Escape.
"Sarutobi-sensei, you just used it."
Orochimaru grabbed the bell from the shadow clone and dismantled it.
"Orochimaru, you truly are a genius!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed, praising Orochimaru generously, and in his heart, he had a higher opinion of his ninjutsu talent.
"Whispering sound…"
Jiraiya made an unhappy sound.
A moment later, Jiraiya was tied to a wooden stake, looking at Orochimaru and Tsunade with resentment.
"What are you looking at? You're the last one who can't get the bell!"
Tsunade reached out and showed the bell in front of Jiraiya.
"Blabbermouth! You violent, flat-chested Tsunade!"
"What did you say! You pervert!"
Tsunade and Jiraiya began arguing again.
Orochimaru calmly looked at Tsunade's chest, then at his own, praying in his heart that it would be enough for him to have a pair of A's in the future, and never become a fat sheep like Tsunade.
But why did Tsunade grow so much? Her secondary development is too exaggerated.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Tsunade and Orochimaru go back first."
Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"Hi~!"
Tsunade se virou e acenou para Sarutobi Hiruzen e Jiraiya, fez uma careta para Jiraiya e mostrou a língua, mostrou o sino em sua mão e arrastou Orochimaru para fora do campo de treinamento.
Não, por que você está me puxando?
Orochimaru foi arrastado por Tsunade, com a cabeça cheia de pontos de interrogação.
"Venha, vou comprar algo para você comer!"
Tsunade estava de bom humor e disse com um sorriso no rosto.
"Bom."
Orochimaru hesitou e não se libertou das garras de Tsunade, principalmente porque ela era forte demais para ele se libertar.
À noite, o sol estava prestes a se pôr, e uma lua minguante podia ser vista fracamente no céu vermelho.
Depois de voltar para casa, Orochimaru olhou para o céu e de repente se lembrou que a lua neste mundo foi criada por Otsutsuki Hagoromo e Otsutsuki Hamura para selar Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Mesmo tendo deixado Konoha, ela não conseguiu ficar longe quando a Quarta Guerra Mundial Ninja estourou, já que o clã Ōtsutsuki também apareceu em Boruto.
O clã Ōtsutsuki... a árvore sagrada... Kaguya Ōtsutsuki... o Sábio dos Seis Caminhos... as Bestas com Cauda...
Orochimaru não tem confiança em si mesmo. Mesmo sendo Orochimaru agora, ela não tem a confiança necessária para superar o Orochimaru original. Ela só pode dar o seu melhor e alcançar o sucesso.
