Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Dihuangmaru fell silent, and Sarutobi Hiruzen waited patiently without speaking again to disturb Dihuangmaru's thoughts.

"My original plan was that after I successfully get promoted to Chunin and stabilize for a period of time, I would start taking on a large number of patrol missions. With my own perception ability, I would be able to play to my greatest advantage and fight when I should fight, rest when I should rest, and train when I should train. I am also confident that I can grow quickly. During World War II, I would find a way to participate in the battlefield of the Rain Country and look for an opportunity for Tai Chi to break through again." Dihuangwan thought.

"However, the Sandaime's conversation today clearly showed that he didn't want me to follow the path of an ordinary Chunin. Whether it was going to the United Front Office or joining the Anbu, it was obvious that he had made plans to train me and that he trusted me!"

"My safety is undoubtedly guaranteed in the United Front Office. In peacetime, I only need to go to and from get off work at fixed times every day. I don't have to leave the village and have time to practice on my own. However, without actual combat experience, my strength will improve slowly. If I want to be a commander or even a battlefield commander, strength is the real first factor!"

"This is obviously inconsistent with my goal of becoming the strongest water-style ninja!"

"As for joining the Anbu? Apart from hiding your name and hiding in the dark, and abandoning personal feelings and only obeying the mission, it seems to be quite suitable for me now."

Joining the Anbu and participating in various secret and dangerous missions is undoubtedly a great opportunity to train yourself!

Facing various dangerous tasks and opponents, your practical experience and strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved!

In the original work, Orochimaru, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi and others all joined the Anbu for training when they were young, laying the foundation for becoming strong!

Thinking of this, Dihuang Wan took a deep breath.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Dihuangmaru's actions and realized that he had made a decision. "So Dihuangmaru, what is your choice?"

"Hokage-sama, I choose to join the Anbu!" Dihuangwan said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took two more puffs of his pipe and pulled out two scrolls from the table.

"One of these two scrolls is the Anbu appointment scroll. Three days later, after the Chunin appointment is completed, you will report to the Anbu with the Anbu appointment scroll!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The other scroll is an A-level water-style ninjutsu scroll left behind by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. It's the Water Style: Water Break Wave! I'm giving it to you. I hope you can live up to the Second Hokage's legacy and make the Water Break Wave the enemy's nightmare once again!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I will live up to the legacy of the Second Hokage!" Dihuangwan knelt on one knee and took the two scrolls from the Third Hokage's hands.

"Dihuangwan, the mission of the Anbu is boring and dangerous. I hope you are mentally prepared and don't die in obscurity!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As a member of the Anbu, if one dies while performing an Anbu mission, his real name will not be engraved on the memorial tablet, and only the cold code name will be left.

"I understand, Lord Hokage!" Dihuangwan said.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, just leave!" Sarutobi Hiruzen achieved his goal and ordered them to leave.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" Dihuangwan bowed again tactfully, walked out of the Hokage's office and closed the door.

As Dihuangwan left and the door was closed, two figures appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Orochimaru, are you satisfied now?" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Teacher, I knew that Dihuangmaru would join the Anbu. I can see his desire for strength. Joining the Anbu is the best choice!" Orochimaru smiled coldly.

"Sakumo, you have also seen Dihuangwan. What do you think of him?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Hokage, this child is a sunny person. I can feel that even if he hides in the darkness, he will not lose himself!" said another figure. It was Hatake Sakumo, who is now the captain of the Anbu.

"Oh? Sakumo has a very good opinion of him!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in surprise.

"He has talent and strength. The only thing he lacks is time to grow!" Hatake Sakumo said, "Orochimaru, I'm changing my mind. I will transfer him to my direct team and train him personally!"

"What?! Senior Sakumo! How could you change your mind? You said you would let him join my team!" Orochimaru said anxiously.

"Okay, Orochimaru! I agree with Sakumo's arrangement. I am a little worried about the child Dihuangmaru being under your command. I am afraid that you will lead him astray!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru gritted his teeth and wanted to say something else, but the two big guys looked unmoved, which made Orochimaru realize that it would be futile to say anything and he could only give up.

He walked out of the Hokage's office depressed!

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Dihuangwan seemed to have not yet come to his senses, "I didn't expect that I would join the Anbu just like this, it's like a pillow falling when I'm sleepy!"

Dihuangwan and others had just been promoted to Chunin and were in a period of confusion. They had not yet established a firm foothold and were standing at a crossroads in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's summons solved Dihuangwan's urgent problem and gave him a way to become stronger. He should indeed be grateful to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As for the scroll of Water Style Suidanpa, it was probably a means for Sarutobi Hiruzen to win over this rising star and invest in himself in order to consolidate his position as Hokage in the future.

You know, up to now, Sarutobi Hiruzen's position as Hokage is not very stable. Although there is no worry about a coup, the power is very dispersed and the Root will be established soon, which will be a major hidden danger at that time.

How could Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the longest serving Hokage, not see what his old friend Danzo Shimura was thinking? However, he had no choice but to compromise and give in. The stability of Konoha was the top priority, and for the rest he could only take the long view and work things out slowly!

On the first day of the Chunin commission, Inuzuka Yoru was finally discharged from the hospital after recovering, and the 11th team held their last gathering as Genin at a barbecue restaurant.

"Have you guys thought about your future arrangements?" asked Kurama Heiji.

"Teacher, I've made up my mind. As a perceptive ninja of the Inuzuka clan, I want to make use of my strengths and join the border defense force for training!" Inuzuka Ye was the first to speak.

Everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with Inuzuka Ye's choice!

"Lady Tsunade is forming a medical team. My chakra control has reached the requirements. I am going to study to become a medical ninja and do missions on the side!" said Kurama Feiyun.

After Kurama Feiyun took part in the Chunin Exam, he took part in the basic assessment of the medical team and passed it. It is estimated that he will spend most of his time practicing medical ninjutsu in the future. However, developing medical ninjas is a strategic decision of the village. It is also the basis for Konoha to have the last laugh after the Second and Third Wars. Its importance is self-evident!

Dihuangwan was sincerely happy that Kurama Feiyun could join the medical team. Now is the early stage of the establishment of the medical team, and they will all be veterans of medical ninjas in the future!

"Lord Hokage summoned me two days ago, and I have decided to join the Anbu!" Dihuangwan said.

"What?!" the three said in unison.

Everyone was very surprised, and Kurama Heiji was also stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect Dihuangmaru to choose to join the Anbu.

"Dihuangwan, the missions carried out by the Anbu are all very dangerous!" said Kurama Heiji.

"Teacher, no truly strong person grows up smoothly. You know my strength. Only by joining the Anbu can I grow faster!" Dihuangwan said.

Seeing that Dihuang Wan had made up his mind, everyone was silent for a moment. Kurama Feiyun said, "Dihuang Wan, you must protect yourself and don't be stubborn!"

Looking at Kurama Feiyun, Dihuangwan said gently: "Feiyun, don't worry, you know, I never do anything without confidence! Besides, I haven't married you yet! Whether it's before or after, I will be fine!"

After saying that, he touched Anma Feiyun's head as if no one was around!

Kurama Heiji almost exploded on the spot! Inuzuka Yoya felt that the barbecue he ate was as tasteless as dog food!
