Girls Should Be Reserved!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was left speechless by Tsunade.

He sighed inwardly.

Sigh... With her personality, she can't become Hokage.

What a waste of her status.

The next Hokage could only be chosen from Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's thinking was too dark, while Jiraiya was far too frivolous. Neither of them was fit to be Hokage.

Of the three disciples I took in, I couldn't find a single one capable of becoming Hokage. What rotten luck.

There was no helping it. I could only keep doing the job.

I had to wait for Minato to grow up...

Before they knew it, the day's lessons had ended.

Before dismissal, the Chunin instructor made a loud announcement.

"Next week will be the second round of practical drills. We'll be testing your ability to fight with kunai."

"You'll also be facing upperclassmen, and Jonin from outside the academy may come observe. Don't embarrass me when the time comes!"

"Starting now, spend time after school and on weekends practicing kunai as hard as you can..."

Feeling the pressure from the Chunin instructor, the students immediately recalled the previous long-distance running trial and all began groaning miserably.

"Again? I didn't dare give up last time, and I ended up vomiting from running!"

"But it's only fighting with kunai. It shouldn't be that exhausting, right?"

"You're being too naive. It's actual combat. We could get hurt—it's even more dangerous!"

Inoichi Yamanaka complained along with them, his face dark.

"Ah... I'm not good at fighting with kunai. I'm really done for this time!"

Shikaku Nara also complained in a lazy voice.

"We can only fight with kunai? Who came up with a rule like that? Real battles have no rules. You can use Ninjutsu and ninja tools. Fighting with only kunai is a game for children."
