Konoha, Year 16!
Land of Fire, Konoha Village, Ninja Academy!
"Hey, Orochimaru! I challenge you, come on, fight me!!"
In the noisy classroom, a white-haired boy dressed in a beige kimono with red trim stood on top of a desk, shouting at the black-haired boy with long, straight hair who was sitting calmly in front of him. The white-haired boy's skin had a slightly yellow hue, and his face was marked with red lines around his eyes. His frustration was palpable he looked ready to duel right then and there.
Despite the boy's fiery outburst, the black-haired boy Orochimaru paid him no mind. He glanced briefly at the scene and then returned to his thoughts, ignoring the challenge entirely.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Jiraiya, the white-haired boy, shouted even louder, "Damn it, Orochimaru! Are you looking down on me?!"
Around them, other students began to murmur and laugh.
"Oh, are they gonna fight again?"
"Haha, Jiraiya never learns!"
