The ultimate master of the ninja world

Chapter 63, ANBU non-staff members

blah blah blah

In the dim corridor, two crisp footsteps with different rhythms slowly sounded, and then turned into subtle lingering sounds in the corridor.

This is the underground of the Hokage Building and the headquarters of the ANBU.

Shumu Mizuki followed Orochimaru silently, his eyes flickering at the surrounding environment.

If Orochimaru hadn't told him for sure, it would have been hard for him to imagine that this quiet place without a single human figure could be the ANBU headquarters. Even if most of the ANBU were out on missions, it wouldn't be so deserted.

Orochimaru's words later dispelled his doubts. According to him, this place is not owned by ANBU. Although it is called the headquarters, it does not mean that it is the most important foundation of ANBU. The training base and some important facilities are not here. Therefore, the headquarters is located here just to convey the Hokage's orders to the ANBU more quickly and conveniently.

In addition to the ANBU chief and some frequently rotating ANBU members who are stationed here as a force to secretly protect the Hokage, there will not be too many ANBU stationed here. Their more important role is to serve as the command center to pass on the Hokage's orders from here. In addition, it also handles the centralized compilation of sub-intelligence, allocation of personnel tasks, etc.

After walking in the corridor for a while, Orochimaru opened a door and walked in, followed closely by Sogi Miyuki.

This room is very large. It is more like a hall than a room. It is surrounded by tall cabinets and shelves filled with various scrolls and documents. There are also several long counters filled with various documents. This is There were many figures busy around the counters.

Shuki Miyuki finally saw a few Anbu figures, and there were also some people wearing white attire without masks on their faces. Although they also wore Konoha ninja forehead protectors on their heads, they looked more like civilian personnel. But he has the same cold and solemn temperament as other Anbu.

"Master Orochimaru"

The appearance of Orochimaru and Shumizuki made these people stop what they were doing, and then they all looked at Shumizuki in surprise. They were not too surprised that Orochimaru would bring strangers. Occasionally, new team members would be recruited by ANBU. It was almost the same when the senior management brought them in, but in their eyes, the people Orochimaru brought over were too young.

Orochimaru nodded lightly, not wanting to explain anything. He looked at one of the ninjas in white attire and said, "Show me all the B-level missions that have not been sent out recently."

"Understood, Lord Orochimaru." The ninja didn't ask much why, nodded in agreement, and began to search for documents on several counters.

Seeing this, the others no longer paid attention to Orochimaru and the others, and went back to doing their own business in various places. They showed no curiosity at all, and their attitude was strict and unfocused.

As if explaining to Shumizuki, Orochimaru said, "This is the place where tasks are released and handed over, but tasks are usually assigned directly to the ANBU team, so handing over tasks plays a more important role."

Shumu Jianyue nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

"Lord Orochimaru, everyone is here."

After handing a thick stack of documents to Orochimaru, the ninja went back to work on his own affairs and ignored Orochimaru. Seeing him like this, Shumu Mizuki understood to some extent that ANBU and the others should have this style. , nodded secretly in his heart.

Orochimaru seemed to be used to it. He handed the pile of documents to Shumizuki and laughed in a hoarse voice, "The lowest level mission difficulty among ANBU is B level. It is more dangerous than the ordinary missions in the mission commission hall above. It’s also higher, and it can’t be solved openly. A few of them are commissions from the Daming Mansion, and more of them are the needs of the village.”

Tsumugi Miyuki nodded, took the pile of documents, and began to look through it. He found that many of the tasks in it were indeed shady, such as going deep into other countries to steal intelligence, assassinating people who were harmful to Konoha or the Land of Fire, and monitoring guards. Important suspects and even ministers of the Fire Nation are monitored, and patrols are conducted to prevent foreign enemies from invading.

Shu Mu was not surprised when he saw the moon. Where there is light, there is darkness. It is impossible for any force that can remain strong and strong for a long time without being dark and dirty in private. He will not be an idiot just because of what he has seen in comics. I think that as great and honest as Konoha is, at most it just has a higher bottom line than other ninja villages.

Never overestimate the kindness of those in power. Those leaders who sing about peace and love, put aside grudges, and pursue kindness and justice are the ones with brains in his eyes.

"You take a look at these B-level missions here to see if you like any of them. First pick out a few and practice. I will go through your procedures and get you some basic equipment." Orochimaru looked at Shumu. Jian Yue ordered, then turned and left without waiting for his response.

Seeing this, Shumu Jianyue shrugged and glanced at the other ANBU who were still in the room. Seeing that they didn't seem to pay attention to him, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and looked through the task lists.

In fact, these B-level tasks are just what he wants. Generally speaking, B-level difficulty tasks already involve enemies at the chuunin level, while A-level tasks correspond to Jōnin-level targets or enemies. As for the more difficult S-level difficulty tasks, It is no longer something he can contact now. Based on his current strength, B-level tasks are just right.

After carefully reading all the task lists, Shu Mujianyue eliminated some tasks such as surveillance, guarding, and inspections, which were low-risk, but took a long time, and may not involve bloodshed, leaving some detective intelligence, assassination, etc. , a more dangerous type of mission.

Shu Mu Jian Yue picked through the few remaining task lists and finally picked up one of them. This was an assassination mission.

The target of the assassination is the leader of a gang in the Land of Fire. There is no need to say how much of a bastard this gang leader is. In the land of fish and meat, it doesn't matter if they force good girls into prostitution.In Shumu Jianyue's view, the main reason why the Daming Palace issued this commission was probably because this guy was too rampant and had threatened the Daiming's rule over the local area.

This gang leader is not simple either. Not only is he a wandering ninja with chuunin strength, but he also has many genin-level wandering ninjas under his command. In addition, there are a large number of samurai serving him. This power alone has overwhelmed The local official armed forces cannot hold their heads high.

In addition, on the surface, this guy is still a well-known wealthy businessman in the Country of Fire. He has secretly colluded with many officials of the Country of Fire to collude with him. His network of connections is very deep. Even if he makes big news, there is always someone to wipe his ass. As for the Daming Palace, who couldn't use ordinary means to get rid of this scourge, they simply entrusted it directly to Konoha, which was labor-saving and simple.

"Hahaha, I've already picked it out."

Tsumugi looked up and saw that Orochimaru had returned, holding a lot of things in his hand, including ANBU costumes, masks, long swords, and seemed to have a pass to enter and leave here. Everything an ANBU should have here was there, but they didn't know about the costumes. Will it fit?

"That's it, teacher." Shumu Mizuki held this assassination task list, looked at Orochimaru, and nodded affirmatively.

Orochimaru glanced at it without saying anything, and handed all the things in his hand to Sonoki Mitsuki. He chuckled in a hoarse voice, "Using some power relations, you will be a non-staff member of ANBU from now on, and you can directly work in ANBU." When you accept a mission, you will generally complete the mission by yourself, and sometimes you will work with other teams, but you are not an official ANBU member after all, so you are not qualified to have access to some ANBU secrets, and you will not be able to obtain some privileges and conveniences."

Shumu Miyue nodded, not surprised. After all, he did not enter the Anbu through normal procedures, but came in by using Orochimaru's relationship. He can accept B-level or even A-level tasks that are not accessible to his own level. He has already Satisfied.

Orochimaru didn't know how important it was to him to accept these mid-to-high-level missions. Perhaps he simply wanted to use these high-risk missions to temper him, but it played right into his hands.

Shumu Mizuki doesn't know if Orochimaru will trick him in the future, but if the other party can properly treat him as a disciple and play the role of a teacher, he will be happy to respect the other party just because of the convenience brought by becoming his disciple. , maintain this master-disciple relationship well, otherwise

Shu Mu Jian Yue sneered in her heart.
