"When will the Anbu be able to intervene in the Anbu's mission directly under the Hokage?"

"Or is it that Danzo-sama has always been keeping an eye on Sarutobi-sensei, hoping to achieve some ulterior purpose?"

Orochimaru's figure appeared silently in the Hokage's office and taunted Danzo's back.

The sudden sound surprised the two people who were each having their own thoughts.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.

"You are indeed my favorite disciple. These words really speak to my heart!"

Danzo turned around and looked at the black-haired young man who suddenly appeared behind him with one squinted eye full of vigilance.

"When did this guy come? With my strength, I didn't notice any movement!"

Orochimaru stared at Danzo for a while without flinching, sensing the rapidly growing dark chakra in his body, and couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile on his face.

Danzo was confused by Orochimaru's kind expression, and he couldn't understand why Orochimaru could still lick his face and smile at him after saying the obviously sarcastic words just now.

"Sarutobi-sensei, here I come!"

After giving a slight nod to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru smiled and said hello.

"Ok!"

"How is the matter with the air ninja spy handled?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his beloved disciple with a smile and asked pointedly.

Orochimaru nodded knowingly.

"Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result is quite satisfactory. Thank you teacher for your help!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his disciple who had obviously become stronger in energy and spirit. His previous worries about him trying to gain improper power through his own hands were finally put aside, and he nodded with great relief.

"That's good!"

"Teacher, I heard from Sakumo that the spy ability of that Sora nin is quite extraordinary."

"This time you found a lurking spy for the village and eliminated a major hidden danger. How about the teacher consider you to have completed an A-level mission?"

Orochimaru glanced at Danzo, whose face was getting increasingly ugly, and readily accepted the teacher's kindness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't mess around, he directly pulled out the Jonin roster from the drawer, and found the entry for A-level missions in the column of the number of missions completed on Orochimaru's resume, which added a lot.

Putting away the roster, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe again and lit it. After taking two puffs, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said:

"Orochimaru!"

"The main reason I called you here this time is because the teacher has something he wants to discuss with you."

"Later on, Elder Danzo was a little confused about your mission of leading the Anbu to capture spies. If it is convenient, you can tell him about the process!"

Orochimaru nodded in agreement and turned to look at Danzo with a smile.

"Of course it's convenient. I wonder if Danzo-sama has any questions?"

"If the basic ninja lacks experience in performing tasks outside, the junior will definitely not be stingy!"

Shimura Danzo was immediately angry to death by Orochimaru's strange words. He finally understood that when this guy said such words, he really kept smiling on his face.

"Orochimaru, pay attention to the manner in which you speak!"

"Although I haven't taught you anything, based on the relationship between me and Hiruzen, I am still your elder!"

"Why, Hiruzen has taught you for ten years, but he hasn't taught you the meaning of superiority and inferiority?"

Danzo's sarcasm with a gun and a stick suddenly made Sarutobi Hiruzen's old smiling face fall down, and he said with an unhappy expression:

"Danzo, I'm my disciple. I naturally have my own teaching methods, so you don't need to worry about me."

Danzo's face suddenly turned pale after being stabbed by Sarutobi Hiruzen like this.He did not expect that as a teammate for many years, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be so disrespectful to him in front of the juniors.

The original fear of Orochimaru in his heart, and the disgust for Sarutobi Hiruzen who had always occupied the position of Hokage, quietly turned into a deeply hidden murderous intention.

Orochimaru was keenly aware of the emotional changes coming from Shimura Danzo's heart, and smiled.

"As expected of you, Danzo!"

"With this level of courage, it's no wonder that you have been calculating for most of your life, but in the end you only became the Acting Sixth Hokage, and you received the lunch without even having your avatar engraved on the Kage Rock!"

Looking at the one-eyed man who was nicknamed the Five Points Fifth Hokage by people in another world, a trace of disdain flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.If I had not obtained dark chakra before, I might still be worried about Danzo doing some tricks in the dark, but now...

Ah!

The current Danzo is just an ambitious man who cannot put himself on the stage. His two right-hand men who will rise to prominence in the ninja world in the future - Yamafaze and Aburame Tune are not yet born, and his own strength is not only acceptable. Apart from the wind escape, there is nothing outstanding about it.

Except for the Sharingan in his right eye that looks like a Uchiha mirror, he also doesn't have the right hand from the future that is full of resurrection coins, enough for him to squander at will.

Danzo, who is also a Jonin and has only two lives, can no longer pose much of a threat to himself now.

Without any scruples about Danzo's increasingly cold gaze, Orochimaru turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile and asked softly:

"I wonder what Sarutobi-sensei wants to discuss?"

"It just so happens that the disciple also wants to get the teacher's permission for something."

Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed his pipe happily and shook his head slightly.

"You!"

Smiling and lamenting his disciple's tendency to take advantage of every opportunity, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned slightly gloomy.

"Orochimaru, you also know that there are vacancies in the ANBU."

"Teacher, I would like to ask you if you have any plans to join ANBU temporarily?"

"If you say so, the teacher can make the decision and waive the test to join ANBU, how about that?"

The ANBU, created by the Second Hokage himself, was originally divided into four squads, each consisting of a squad leader and sixteen members.Including the two captains, the captain and the deputy captain, the number is exactly 70 people.

Except for the 17-man team that was moved to the root by Shimura Danzo, the direct ANBU under Sarutobi Hiruzen now only has about 50 people left at full strength.

It may not sound like a large number, but each ANBU member who can pass a series of tests such as actual combat assessment, background check, loyalty, etc. is an elite among the elite.

In terms of strength alone, the minimum standard for joining ANBU is to be a special jounin or a small group of ninjas who are top-notch in the chuunin level.

The two captains of the ANBU were the future famous Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge, and the eldest son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just quit the ANBU due to injury, was a powerful jounin who, like Nono's father, was proficient in all attribute ninjutsu.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen extended an invitation to Orochimaru to join the ANBU, and his intention to train Orochimaru was obvious.

Orochimaru was really moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But he was moved, and Orochimaru didn't want to be tied down by the busy position of ANBU captain.

If it were before, the identity of the leader of the dark forces would indeed allow him to provide a lot of conveniences and connections without having much power to protect himself.

But now...

The foundation he had just gained had not yet been transformed into his own strength. Before the Second Ninja War broke out completely, Orochimaru did not want to let other things distract him.

The practice of the secret technique of body activation, the transformation of chakra in the body into yin and yang, going to Longdi Cave to get those things that are destined to belong to oneself...

These require Orochimaru to spend a lot of energy, and all other unimportant things can be put aside for the time being.

Orochimaru, who has future memories, deeply understands how dangerous the ninja world is. Instead of wasting time in intrigues with Danzo, a shady rat, it is better to concentrate on improving his own strength.

When his strength reaches a certain level, and with his current status, let alone the position of ANBU captain, even the position of Fourth Hokage is just a matter of easy attainment.

Merely Danzo Shimura?

Just a clown!

At this thought, Orochimaru shook his head under the expectant gaze of Sarutobi Hiruzen and declined the invitation to join the ANBU.

"Teacher, I have no intention of joining ANBU at the moment!"

"and……"

"My previous battle with the Iwagakure ninja made me discover some of my own shortcomings."

"Before that happens, I want to temporarily stop taking tasks from the village and concentrate on improving my strength."

"so……"

"I want to ask the teacher for a long vacation and turn what I have gained during this recent period into my own strength."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused while holding his pipe in his mouth, and it took him a long while to react.He exhaled a long puff of smoke and asked quietly:

"how long?"

After considering the time required to practice the secret technique of physical activation and travel to and from Ryūchi Cave, Orochimaru said simply:

"Three months!"
