I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"How did your mouth become so poisonous?"

Kakashi had been staying outside the Hokage Building. The noise Tsunade made just now made him break out in a cold sweat. When he saw Ye Lan came out safely, he was relieved. It seemed that the matter had been resolved.

"Why don't I treat you guys to a meal, just to celebrate your safe return?"

Kakashi didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't want to know about the game among the high-ranking Hokage, so he said this.

Ye Lan didn't make any more meaningless explanations. He glanced at Kakashi and said.

"Before I left, I remembered that you had something to discuss with me. What was it?"

"Well, it's just some unimportant things. It's been resolved."

Kakashi looked away and said casually.

Ye Lan did not continue asking questions, but just looked at him again and said.

"I won't go to eat. I'd better go back and rest. Sasuke will be left to you."

Sasuke's injuries have not fully healed, so if he wants to avoid any sequelae, he should go to the hospital for observation. Ye Lan does not have any serious injuries.

"Then let's go to the hospital first. Sakura happens to be there and you haven't seen her in a while."

Sasuke was silent. He didn't know how to face Sakura. On the one hand, the busyness and rules of the Anbu were important, but the main reason was that he didn't want to waste time on this.

Kakashi still feels gratified to see his student becoming more and more outstanding, especially Sasuke who is about to become a Konoha Jonin. Sasuke will definitely make more contributions to Konoha in the future.

There was a problem with the Sharingan, so he asked if there was anything wrong with his eyes. Ye Lan had already guessed what Kakashi wanted to ask.

Only the Mangekyō Sharingan can cause harm to the eyes, and there is no precedent for outsiders awakening the Mangekyō. However, there are not many Uchiha who can play the Sharingan like Kakashi, so even if he has the Mangekyō, Ye Lan will be able to accept it.

But Kakashi’s attitude was a little unpredictable. He definitely wanted to ask Ye Lan at the beginning, but after something like this happened, he concealed it. This made Ye Lan think more.

Even if the kaleidoscope is awakened, there is only so much that can be achieved with one eye, and there will be differences between kaleidoscopes.

Ye Lan didn't think too much and went home to rest directly. What he said to Tsunade and Kakashi was not completely perfunctory. He was really a little tired. As for the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he still had time to study it at the experimental base outside the village.

The next evening, when Ye Lan was about to go out, the door of his house rang.

Ye Lan was a little puzzled. After this incident, Kakashi and Tsunade would not look for him in the short term. As for Sasuke, he might need to get familiar with his new captain and would not come either. So who else would it be?

He opened the door with doubt, and what came into view was Konoha's standard Jonin vest, but it seemed to be ill-fitting on this person.

"red beans?"

Hongdou's outfit looked like a bad little girl wearing a school uniform, which didn't match at all, and Ye Lan was a little hesitant to recognize her.

"Haha, you didn't expect that I would become a jonin too!"

Hongdou said with a smile that she had just received the appointment letter and the Jonin vest from Tsunade today and then ran to Ye Lan.

Hongdou knew in her heart that if it weren't for Ye Lan, she would have been almost a special jonin in her life after leaving Orochimaru. To put it nicely, she would have been a jonin. The real difference was only known to those who were special jonin themselves.

"Congratulations, but why did you come to see me?"

Ye Lan said calmly that he had established a good relationship with Hongdou just to better integrate into Konoha. If he really had a fight with Konoha’s top leaders that day, Hongdou would definitely choose to help Konoha.

She had chosen between Orochimaru and Konoha once before, so Ye Lan didn't expect Hongdou to be able to help him in any way.

"Look at how dejected you are. Are you still the Uchiha Ye Lan that I know? You just let Orochimaru escape. At worst, I can catch him next time. You see, I don't care anymore."

After hearing what Hongdou said, Ye Lan became silent. Even though Hongdou had become a senior ninja, she didn't know about Danzo. It seemed that the Konoha high-level officials had a very unified opinion.

"Let's go! I said I would treat you to a meal after I become a jonin. You didn't forget it, did you?" Hongdou patted Ye Lan and urged him.

Ye Lan also remembered this incident. He didn't expect that what he agreed to casually would happen so soon.

"I say, you look a little weird in this outfit."

Seeing this, Ye Lan no longer refused. He was feeling a little depressed, and having Hongdou, a person with a good attitude, around him would give him some fun.

"Yes, it feels a little strange..." Hongdou looked at Ye Lan. Ye Lan had never worn Konoha's Jonin uniform.

He usually wears a black slim-fit jacket with a light-colored lining. The clothes are not too tight, which allows Ye Lan to move quickly. The slim fit does not appear cumbersome. Coupled with his absolutely handsome appearance, he is the brightest guy walking on the streets of Konoha.

As for the jonin uniform that was given to me, I wonder where it is now gathering dust in the bottom of the box.

In the end, Hongdou just threw the vest at Ye Lan's house. She felt more comfortable wearing the clothes she liked.

"What do you mean by throwing this thing at me?"

Ye Lan was shocked by Hongdou's actions. What was going on? Even if you wanted to be casual, you couldn't be so casual.

"Oh, just get it after dinner. It doesn't look good holding it in your hand." Hongdou said casually.

Even if it doesn't fit in your hand, you can seal it in a scroll. As a dignified jonin, you can't be unable to do something like sealing an item.

Ye Lan was too lazy to complain about her. Who knew what she would do next.

Hongdou was laughing and giggling, and she and Ye Lan walked arm in arm as they headed straight for the barbecue restaurant in Konoha. They didn't care even if people on the street pointed at them.

"Comfortable~"

Hongdou took a big gulp and drank half a glass of beer. Most of the beer was empty in a flash. Hongdou poured herself a new glass of beer, then looked at the juice in front of Ye Lan and couldn't help smacking her lips.

"Why aren't you an adult yet?" Hongdou felt that she had known Ye Lan for some time, and looking back, it had not even been a year.

"Give up on this idea. I won't drink even when I'm an adult." Ye Lan put down his burden and could be more casual in front of Hongdou.

"Tch, that's really boring."

Hongdou swirled the wine glass and continued to drink. The excess wine seeped out from her chin, but she didn't care at all, looking like a heroic woman.

Boom—

The empty wine glass was smashed on the table by Hongdou. At this moment, her face was already a little flushed. This guy was a little drunk.

"Drink less, I don't want to hear you vomit." Ye Lan knew that it was almost enough when he saw Hongdou's expression. When they had dinner together before, Hongdou only drank to this extent.

"No, no, no, today is the day I become a jonin, I have to drink to my heart's content!"

Hongdou no longer used the wine glass and started drinking directly from the bottle, gulping down another half bottle.

“Are you so happy to become a jonin?” Ye Lan couldn’t understand this feeling. After all, it only took him a few months to go from a special jonin to a jonin.

"Not only that, Lady Tsunade also transferred me to the Root, which is where Orochimaru stayed before. I always thought that I would never be able to catch up with Orochimaru in this lifetime, but I never thought that this day would come."

Even the carefree Anko felt a little emotional. Looking at the innocent girl, did she really have no grudges in her heart? Of course she did, otherwise she wouldn't have been so excited when Orochimaru came to the village.

Red Bean will go to the root! Ye Lan was most surprised by this. By the way, Tsunade had said that she would transfer someone to help Mitomon En at the root, but she didn't expect it would be Red Bean.

"How was it? Were you surprised? Next time you go to catch Orochimaru, call me. We won't be as embarrassed as last time."

Hongdou puffed out her chest as she spoke. The last time she was talking about was the Chunin Exam, when she was simply a burden. Now her improvement in strength has given her confidence again.

Looking at Hongdou who was in high spirits, Ye Lan smiled, drank the juice in the glass, poured himself some of Hongdou's remaining beer, picked up the glass and said.

"I'll drink with you this time, and I'll definitely call you next time."

Although he had never drunk alcohol before, he heard that the alcohol content of beer was not high, so it should be okay for him to drink a little. Seeing Hongdou so happy this time, Ye Lan let down his guard and finished it in one gulp.

"Not bad!"

Hongdou was very surprised and happy about Ye Lan's behavior. There was no point in drinking alone no matter how excited a person was. She blew the bottle dry in one breath, turned around and continued shouting.

"Two more bottles, boss!"

Hongdou planned to press on with her victory and wanted to encourage Ye Lan to drink more, but when she looked back at Ye Lan with a smile, she was stunned.

Ye Lan was seen lying on the table without any consciousness, which was very different from his usual calm image.

"Miss, drinking with a minor is illegal!" The clerk came over with two bottles of beer, and when he saw Ye Lan lying on the table, he yelled at Hongdou.

"Hey! Not! Me! Him!"
