Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

Still, Jiraiya wasn't one to complain openly, unlike Tsunade, who had both the rank and the attitude to voice her displeasure.

"I heard you left your disciple back in the village," Orochimaru suddenly said, looking over at Jiraiya.

The grin on Jiraiya's face froze, and he sprang up, shouting, "And who are you to talk? Didn't you leave Nawaki back at camp?"

"Heh," Orochimaru chuckled, his voice rasping as he shot Jiraiya a smug look.

"Stop laughing, you-" Jiraiya began, but suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Something was wrong.

Slowly, he turned around to find Tsunade glaring at him, her fist clenched and slowly rising.

"Not the face!" Jiraiya's scream echoed across the battlefield as he was sent flying into a rock, embedding himself so deep that it took several tries to pry him out.

.....

While Jiraiya was getting pummeled, Minato had joined Xin and Mikoto's team, significantly boosting their mission efficiency.

With the onset of war, many ninjas were sent to the front lines. The chaos of war also meant more missions flooding into the village.

Many ninja teams were overwhelmed, constantly on the move. But Xin's team remained

the same.

They occasionally took on missions, but otherwise spent their time resting or training, unlike other teams that were swamped with work.

"Hokage-sama, these are the applications for the Chunin Exams."

Due to the war, Konoha had relaxed the requirements for the Chunin Exams. Unlike in peacetime, the process was now much simpler and less stringent.

At this time, the Chunin Exams consisted of only two parts: a written test and a combat test. Passing both would result in a promotion.

"Leave them here," the Third Hokage said. Since the war had begun, he had been swamped with work, dealing with one issue after another, all of which required his personal attention.

The Hokage's office had practically become the Third Hokage's home, where he ate and slept. After finishing the paperwork on his desk, he sighed in relief and began reviewing the Chunin Exam applications.

He scrutinized each one carefully, stamping them as he went.

"Jiraiya went to the front lines, but it seems Minato stayed behind in the village," the Third Hokage mused as he came across Minato's file.

Remembering that Jiraiya had specifically asked him to keep an eye on Minato, the Hokage pulled out Minato's records.

That's when he noticed that Minato had joined Xin and Mikoto's two-man team, turning it into a standard three-man genin squad.

"What?" The Hokage frowned as he looked at the number of completed missions.

Did they forget to add a couple of digits here?

Xin's team had completed only thirteen D-rank missions and twenty-eight C-rank missions.

Are they sure they didn't miss a digit or two?

Xin's class had been out of the Academy for almost a year. Other teams from his graduating class had completed at least a hundred D-rank missions, along with numerous C- rank missions. Yet Xin's team had done so few? Something didn't add up.
