"Hmm? Are those kids?" Uchiha Kage's observation was not concealed in the slightest, so he was quickly noticed by Orochimaru's table. Seeing the Uchiha clan symbol on the other party, Tsunade narrowed her eyes.
"It seems to be Senior Kagami's son!" Orochimaru glanced at Uchiha Kage thoughtfully. He had an impression of this boy; a super genius of the Uchiha clan who, it was said, had now awakened a Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
At this moment, he wasn't particularly interested in the Sharingan, but he was interested in Uchiha Kage. Previously, his teacher Sarutobi had spoken with him privately, seemingly wanting him to mentor Uchiha Kage.
Orochimaru did not refuse this. He knew his teacher was paving the way for him. However, before that, he needed to observe Uchiha Kage carefully. If his personality was unsuitable, he would refuse his teacher.
"Senior Kagami?" A look of melancholy also appeared on Jiraiya's face. Jiraiya had a good impression of his teacher's fellow disciple. He was definitely an anomaly within the Uchiha clan, not as annoying as the typical Uchiha.
"What a pity!" Even Tsunade took a sip from her wine glass. The relationship between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan had always been bad.
Even though the Senju clan was gone now, Tsunade had no affection for ordinary Uchiha. However, she held a certain degree of goodwill towards that senior who could gain the approval of her Second Grandfather and Grandmother. It was just a pity that Uchiha Kagami had sacrificed himself.
It was said that there was something suspicious about Uchiha Kagami's death. Investigating it would be very troublesome and might even cause turmoil throughout Konoha, so her teacher ultimately chose to give up.
Regarding this matter, although Tsunade was dissatisfied, she didn't say much. After all, she wasn't particularly familiar with Uchiha Kagami. In the end, it was all for Konoha!
"Hey, kid, what are you looking at over there?!" Perhaps having drunk a bit too much, Tsunade waved at Uchiha Kage.
"Kage? What should we do?" Uchiha Mikoto glanced at the future Sannin and then looked at Uchiha Kage. She felt that these three people seemed formidable.
Currently, the three of them were not as famous as they would be in the future; that required building a reputation through battle after battle.
"Let's go!" Uchiha Kage said calmly, then led Uchiha Mikoto to Tsunade's table. He first nodded slightly to Tsunade: "Princess Tsunade!" Then he nodded to Jiraiya and Orochimaru: "Mr. Jiraiya, Mr. Orochimaru."
Given their current status as Elite Jōnin, ordinary people would address them as "Lord" upon meeting them. However, Uchiha Kage didn't like addressing them that way. Thirty years east, thirty years west—he wouldn't need thirty years; in ten years, he would be stronger than them.
"Hahaha, kid, are you out on a date with your little girlfriend!?" Jiraiya familiarly invited Uchiha Kage and Uchiha Mikoto to sit down, then teased.
"N-not my girlfriend!" Hearing Jiraiya's words, Uchiha Mikoto blushed and stammered.
Uchiha Kage didn't say much. At a time like this, denying it would be the behavior of a totally straight guy!
"Hahahaha, a bit dishonest, aren't you!" Jiraiya laughed heartily.
It's a pity. Why didn't anyone treat him like this back then? He was clearly so handsome, yet he didn't have such a childhood friend.
All he had was Tsunade, that tomboy. So violent, not cute at all.
"Kid, school is starting soon, right?" Suddenly, Tsunade spoke to Uchiha Kage: "I remember you are the same age as Nawaki."
"Nawaki?" Uchiha Kage was visibly stunned for a moment. He really didn't know much about Nawaki.
The Senju clan kept this young master very well hidden; ordinary people didn't even know he was the grandson of the First Hokage.
Seeing that he was in the same year as Nawaki, his gaze drifted indistinctly towards Orochimaru beside him. He wondered if Nawaki would meet his end in front of Orochimaru again later.
To be honest, the non-darkened Orochimaru was quite reliable. But because of Nawaki's death, he truly began to darken. So, was everything a scheme? Danzō!
Seeming to sense Uchiha Kage's gaze, Orochimaru's mouth revealed an interested expression. Did this kid notice something?
Truly an interesting child, possessing wisdom higher than ordinary peers.
A genius?
He is somewhat similar to himself.
"Are you interested in sparring with me? Uchiha Kage!" Suddenly, Orochimaru spoke abruptly.
This sentence stunned both Tsunade and Jiraiya. They knew Orochimaru best and knew he wouldn't do something without a reason. So why arrange a battle with an Uchiha child?
Quickly, they understood.
"Are you interested in me? Mr. Orochimaru?" Uchiha Kage also looked at Orochimaru with burning eyes. It seems his guess was correct; under Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, Orochimaru would become his new bond.
