Orochimaru and His Quest to Become a Jonin

Orochimaru's black hair lashed through the air as he silently threw a kunai at the enemy's feet. Minato clapped his hands as he was forced to retreat. "Good job Orochimaru!" Minato said as he tended to his wounds. "Thanks!" Orochimaru said.

Then Minato surprised Orochimaru. "I think you are ready for your first mission. Meet me at the reception room after you have lunch." So Orochimaru dashed to the reception room after lunch and stopped when he heard what the mission was.
