Chapter 323: The Team Leader Teacher Is an Underachiever

"Why hasn't our Team Leader Teacher arrived yet?"

Inside the Ninja School classroom, Zilaoye couldn't help but complain loudly.

The other classmates were taken away by the teacher, leaving only the three of them stupidly lingering in the classroom.

It makes them look really foolish.

"From another angle, the three of us form a squad," Orochimaru said calmly.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should already know who the Team Leader Teacher is.

"Ugh, who would want to be on a team with you, you arrogant jerk…" Zilaoye sneered, curling his lip.

He hates the way Orochimaru looks at him, as if he were looking at a mentally disabled child, which infuriates him.

If he weren't unbeatable, he would have already given him a good lesson.

At the Ninja School, Orochimaru excels in every aspect, while Zilaoye's performance is that of a laggard.

Though he feels deeply resentful, he must admit that Orochimaru is a genius.

"Idiot," Orochimaru whispered.

"Bastard, I…" Zilaoye didn't finish before feeling a heavy blow to his head, covering it and crouching on the floor, wailing, "Ow, that hurts like hell."

The familiar force and angle made him instantly recognize Gangshou, that violent woman.

"Gangshou, why did you hit me?"

"Shut up!" Gangshou, with a hostile expression, swung her fist, declaring that if this guy dared to talk back, she'd show him her strength!

Seeing that, Zilaoye obediently fell silent, yet couldn't help muttering under his breath.

"Violent woman, who would dare marry you in the future?"

"What did you say?"

"N-no…"

"Idiot," Orochimaru shook his head helplessly; the thought of teaming up with Zilaoye, that fool, gave him a headache.

From now on, there'll probably be no peaceful days.

"Why hasn't our Team Leader Teacher arrived yet?" Gangshou frowned displeased, "I'll report the teacher's tardiness to Second Grandfather honestly."

As a second‑generation official, she intends to have Second Grandfather give the late teacher a severe lesson!

"Exactly, exactly," Zilaoye said gravely, "We must have the Hokage deduct his mission fee."

They've been waiting here for almost two hours, still no sign of the teacher; such a guy truly lacks any sense of responsibility.

Could it really be that their Team Leader Teacher won't show up?

Orochimaru wore a strange expression but said nothing, pretending not to hear their conversation.

"Oh dear, your teacher still hasn't arrived?"

At that moment, a Pineapple Head youth stepped into the classroom, his expression somewhat resigned.

That Lian Ye guy is still unreliable when it comes to attending school…

"Teacher Motoya," the three said respectfully.

Nara Motoya is their homeroom teacher, and is usually very strict in class.

"Teacher Motoya, who is our Team Leader Teacher?" Zilaoye said discontentedly, "We've been waiting all afternoon and still haven't seen anyone."

"Yes, Teacher Motoya, just tell us," Gangshou asked.

To complain to Second Grandfather, they first need to know the Team Leader Teacher's name.

"Don't rush, wait a bit longer," Nara Motoya said with a sigh, "Your teacher has always disliked studying."

"Dislikes studying?" Zilaoye scoffed, "Isn't that just an Underachiever?"

Under someone's influence, Zilaoye studied the Cultural Class seriously, passing all subjects, thus no longer an Underachiever.

Yet he is in the top class, and even though he barely passes Cultural Class, he remains a laggard.

—— equivalent to PhoenixTail.

"Can an Underachiever teacher really teach us?" Zilaoye kept babbling, "By the way, just how much of an Underachiever is the Team Leader Teacher?"

Even geniuses have gaps; the same goes for Underachievers!

A total score of twenty and a total score of forty are both Underachievers, yet they differ by twenty points.

Orochimaru silently put distance between them, looking at Zilaoye with a dead‑eyes expression.

This guy is finished.

"Zilaoye, you'd better say less…" Nara Motoya blushed slightly, having no intention of explaining.

He fears that if the truth is spoken, none of them will be able to leave the school alive today.

After all, that Lian Ye guy isn't an ordinary Underachiever; he's the only legend since the founding of the Ninja School.

"The Team Leader Teacher is so irresponsible," Gangshou said discontentedly.

No matter what, she will tell Second Grandfather about this!

…

"Sorry, I'm late," Lian Ye entered the classroom, greeting the others.

Because he arrived late, he didn't hear Zilaoye's earlier remarks.

"Lord Lian Ye?!" Zilaoye saw the newcomer, his mouth gaping in shock.

"Uncle Lian Ye, you're back!" Gangshou's eyes lit up, thinking she could enjoy food again.

Orochimaru, seeing this, wore a "just as I thought" expression.

"Nara Motoya, you're not dead?" Lian Ye noticed the Pineapple Head youth and instantly recognized his identity.

"Lian Yejun, I'm doing just fine," Nara Motoya forced out a stiff smile, inwardly cursing that he hadn't been cursed to die the moment he arrived.

"I hadn't seen you all these years; I thought you died on the frontier," Lian Ye sighed, "I never imagined you'd be hiding in the Ninja School."

Since graduating, he has never returned to school, so naturally he doesn't know that Nara Motoya is teaching here.

"War ended, I then came to serve as a teacher," Nara Motoya explained.

"So that's how it is," Lian Ye realized, suddenly as if recalling something, "By the way, where is Hinata Yuki?"

Come to think of it, since the war ended he hasn't seen the King of Pressure at all.

"I don't know…" Nara Motoya's expression was complicated, and finally he shook his head.

From the look of it, he seemed unwilling to explain.

Lian Ye was just about to ask, but Zilaoye's startled shout cut him off.

"Lord Lian Ye, are you truly our Team Leader Jonin?" Zilaoye asked with an expectant face.

"Hmm." Lian Ye nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha, wonderful!" Zilaoye jumped up joyfully. Lian Ye is their Team Leader Teacher, just like a dream.

At this moment, he had already cast aside the fact that the Team Leader Teacher is an Underachiever.

Gangshou was the same, his mind filled with delicacies, having already forgotten the matter of the little report.

Orochimaru saw the two companions' appearance and sighed helplessly.

"Since your Team Leader Teacher has arrived, I can rest easy," Nara Motoya looked at Lian Ye, "Lian Yejun, I'm leaving work now."

Saying that, he hurried out of the classroom, apparently fearing Lian Ye's probing about Hinata Yuki.

Lian Ye saw this, and his confusion deepened.

What exactly happened?

So much that Nara Motoya didn't want to explain to him…

"Uncle Lianye, shall we go to your house to help you cook?" Gangshou's words pulled Lian Ye's thoughts back.

"Yeah, Lian Ye Teacher, we can help with the prep." Zilaoye quickly agreed.

Lian Ye: "……"
