Chapter 244 Isn't it common sense that a 3-person team has 4 people?
"Greetings, Your Excellency. Greetings, everyone. My name is Karin Uzumaki, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. I am skilled in sensory perception and medicine."
Karin, with her red hair, greeted everyone respectfully.
Upon seeing this, Bai also introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Bai, and I am skilled in ice manipulation and assassination."
"Uchiha Sasuke is skilled in Fire Release, Lightning Release, and Genjutsu."
The three introduced themselves and their respective ninjutsu skills, which gave them a basic understanding of each other.
After all, the three of them will be participating in the joint Chunin Exams together, and they will need to help each other during this period of time.
Just as the three were getting to know each other, Tetsuya stood aside and looked at Tobirama, asking a question.
"Don't you usually give lessons to the teachers and then let the ninja academy teachers teach the students? Why is it that you're personally teaching Xiangling here?"
"Ahem, Karin is different. She's a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. There aren't many Uzumaki descendants left in the ninja world these days. They're also considered my sister-in-law's clan, so I have to take care of them a bit."
"I see. I know of at least three descendants of the Uzumaki clan in the ninja world."
"Three? Besides Karin and Naruto, there's also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan?"
Tobirama was somewhat surprised, and because Naruto had blond hair, Tobirama had always felt that Naruto couldn't really be considered a descendant of the Uzumaki clan.
"Yes, there's one more, Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, who is my and Izuna's disciple."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Tobirama frowned.
"Was the Akatsuki organization, which recruits rogue ninja all over the ninja world and takes on bounty missions everywhere, founded by you and Tobirama's disciple?"
"Yes, that's right. Didn't I tell you? Most of the cases they receive are actually released by our business alliance, and some are from people or organizations from the Land of Rain and our Land of Grass that are inconvenient to deal with."
Didn't I tell you these things before?
Seeing Tobirama's tightly furrowed brows, Tetsuya clapped his hands.
"Oh dear, it seems I really didn't tell you, hehe."
"What the hell are you talking about! You're an old man who doesn't even know how old you are, what are you pretending to be young for? Sasuke and Haku are the real young ones."
"You can't say that. I have a youthful mindset, that's for sure."
Tetsuya stopped arguing with Tobirama and turned to look at the three of them.
"Alright, the three of you have gotten to know each other now. There's still some time before the Joint Chunin Exams, so you can practice working together for a while. In the meantime, Tobirama will teach you about teamwork."
Tobirama frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"When did I say I was going to teach them?"
"Hey, Tobirama, don't be so sabotaging me. Do me a favor, and I'll tell you something about Konoha and your good student later, okay?"
After thinking about it, Tobirama finally agreed.
"Okay, I can teach them, but if there's anything I don't know, you must tell me."
"Ok."
"Alright children, now I'll give you your first lesson."
Tobirama immediately adopted the demeanor of a teacher.
Seeing Tobirama's serious expression, Tetsuya felt as if he were back in the classroom facing the headmaster.
Seeing this, Zabuza wisely stepped aside, but Tobirama clearly had no intention of letting him go.
"Zabuza, why are you backing down? As the mentor of these three, you also need to learn from me how to be a mentor."
"Oh, is this related to me?"
"What, you have a problem with that?"
"No, I have no objection."
Under Tobirama's leadership, this temporary three-person team began training.
Why is it called a three-person team when there are clearly four people?
As everyone knows, a three-person team has four people, while the Four Heavenly Kings have five.
After handing the others over to Tobirama, Tetsuya returned to his room alone, turned on his computer, and contacted Orochimaru.
"Hehehe, Mr. Chiba, what brings you to me today? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I just wanted to ask you, the Joint Chunin Exams are about to begin, and they'll be held in Konoha. How's your Konoha Crush plan coming along?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru licked his lips with some excitement.
"Hehe, everything is basically ready. Kabuto has already returned to Konoha as a former Konoha ninja."
"I've almost finished preparing the specific plan for the Konoha Crush, but there are still a few minor issues."
"What minor problem?"
Orochimaru replied.
"My initial plan was to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the First Hokage and the Second Hokage to bid farewell to my teacher."
However, since the Second Hokage is still alive, I have one less person I can summon.
"Isn't one First Generation enough? Or is it that even now that you've overcome the reincarnation problem, you're still no match for your aged teacher?"
"That's not quite right."
Orochimaru rejected Tetsuya's answer.
"Although I am not as strong as you, Chiba-sama, or Izuna-sama, I am more than capable of defeating my old and senile teacher."
However, I still hope that my teacher can die in a more dignified manner.
"If the previous two Hokage of Konoha could kill him, I originally thought it would be a good approach."
"Well, actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be the first two generations. You can have one first generation and one fourth generation."
"I have thought about it too, but the Fourth Hokage's situation is quite special; his soul is not in the Pure Land."
He used the Reaper Death Seal to seal half of the Nine-Tails and his own soul. To resurrect the Fourth Hokage using Edo Tensei, he first needed to find a way to free his soul.
"Freeing the souls devoured by the Grim Reaper shouldn't be too difficult for you, Orochimaru."
"Hehehe, Mr. Chiba, you really think highly of me."
Orochimaru shrugged awkwardly.
"I've studied the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, but at least for now, I have no clue what to do with it."
"How about I have Tobirama assist you?"
As soon as Tetsuya finished speaking, he shook his head, rejecting the idea himself.
"Let's forget it. I'm afraid Tobirama will just use Flying Thunder God Slash to cut you down first."
"Hehehe, this does indeed seem like something Lord Tobirama would do."
"Here's an idea, maybe you can give it a try."
"Appreciate further details."
Tetsuya also told Orochimaru about the existence of the Shinigami Mask of the Uzumaki Clan's Namendou.
He didn't directly tell Orochimaru how to trick the Shinigami, since he had forgotten the specific details of the operation.
However, he believed that once Orochimaru obtained the Shinigami mask, with his intelligence, he would surely be able to devise a way to deceive the Shinigami.
