The Kind-Hearted Orochimaru?

The next day, Uchiha Ling, Mitaraishi Anko, and Dule Jiong arrived at the Hokage Building at the appointed time.

At the ninja registration office in the Hokage Building, the ninja in charge asked in surprise, "You're the first team of Genin to come register. Did your team leader finish your assessment first thing this morning?"

"Our teacher is especially kind-hearted. He didn't assess us and directly gave us Genin status."

"Oh? Such a wonderful teacher? What's your teacher's name?"

"Orochimaru, Lord Orochimaru of the Sannin."

"Oh, haha." The responsible ninja laughed awkwardly without telling the three of them the cruel truth. "Come on. Remember your ninja numbers, fill out the forms, and get your pictures taken."

The three of them completed a series of procedures, received their Forehead Protectors, and went downstairs.

They encountered other teams that had come to register and discovered that every other team had a team leader. The teachers would take pictures together with the Genin.

Dule Jiong complained, "What? So the Jonin team leader is supposed to show up for the group photo? There are only the three of us in our picture."

"Cough, cough." Uchiha Ling said:

"Dule Jiong, you know that I desperately wanted to make a good impression in front of Teacher Orochimaru.

Dule Jiong instantly tensed up. Someone as nasty as Uchiha Ling could not only do something like that—he would do it with great enthusiasm.

"You—you—you! I—I..."

Mitaraishi Anko hurriedly said, "Ling, stop scaring Dule Jiong. What we need to think about now
