The ultimate master of the ninja world

Chapter 76, Participating in the Chunin Selection

Underground of the Hokage Building, ANBU headquarters.

Shumu Jianyue submitted the completed tasks, recorded them, and settled the bonuses. After doing this, he turned around and walked out of the task room.

Since returning to the village, whether it was the ninjas in the Hokage building or the ANBU who had just entered, although the changes in his appearance caused some people to be surprised, and no one showed surprise, I am afraid most people just thought that he was in the period of physical growth. , it is normal for his appearance to change. After all, except for some people who are very familiar with him, it is probably difficult to detect the subtle changes in his appearance.

As for the hair that has changed the most, maybe it is because his vitality is too strong now. Some aspects of his growth and development seem to be much faster than before. Just in the past few days after rushing back to Konoha from Kawanoguni, the originally smooth top of his head has reappeared. A layer of hair has grown, and eyebrows have grown, not as weird as before.

Just as he walked to the mission room, an ANBU came towards him. After seeing the moon, he said calmly: "Master Orochimaru is in the Hokage's office now. He heard that you are back and asked you not to leave in a hurry. He has something to tell you. ."

Shumu Mizuki raised his eyebrows. Even though the other person was wearing a mask, he recognized the other person's voice as Nobu Arai, the assistant of Orochimaru's laboratory. He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I know."

After conveying the message, Nobu Arai didn't seem to be interested in talking to Shumu Miyuki anymore. He nodded lightly and passed by.

Shumu Jianyue didn't care. There were really too many people like this in the Anbu. They were all like machines and indifferent to emotions.

Leaving the dark underground and walking onto the ground, Shumizuki leaned directly against the door of the Hokage Building, with his arms folded in front of his chest, waiting for Orochimaru expressionlessly.

At this time, a figure walking towards the Hokage Building made him frown.

Shumu Mizuki stood up straight and said hello: "Danzo-sama."

Although I don't have a good impression of this old cunt, I can't say I hate it. After all, there is no conflict of interest, let alone any grudges. The only intersection between the two is the time when the other party failed to recruit him, but the responsibility is not his, and no matter how stupid the other party is, it can't be considered On his head.

But even if you stay at a distance, you should still do enough superficial things first, and don't deliberately try to please, but there is no need to offend.

"It's you." Danzo stopped, looked at Shumizuki, nodded with a stern face, and said in a gloomy voice: "You did a good job in the ANBU, I didn't expect Orochimaru to let you... The Anbu is always so unexpected."

As the head of the Roots that specializes in transporting blood to the ANBU, Danzo naturally knew about the tasks that Soki Mitsuki accepted in the ANBU. After discovering that the nature of the tasks he accepted mostly overlapped with the Roots, he couldn't help but feel that the other party was to his liking. .

So much so that while he was somewhat appreciative of his failure to successfully recruit Shu Mu Jian Yue into his roots, he was also somewhat regretful, but now he would no longer have any plans for the other party.

This is the tacit understanding between him and Sarutobi. Although the two have conflicting ideas and styles, they have been able to get along with each other peacefully for so many years. It is precisely because of the tacit compromise between them. , if he has any more thoughts, he will undoubtedly destroy this hard-to-maintain tacit understanding.

"Just keep working hard like this. Konoha needs seeds like you more than those brats who can only play ninja games." Danzo said.

Shumu Miyue nodded humbly: "Danzo-sama said something serious. It is an honor for me to be able to contribute a small amount to Konoha."

Somu Mitsuki's words made Danzo's face soften a little. He could easily identify and appreciate people who could value Konoha above all else, although he didn't think Somu Mitsuki could reach this level now. But at least this attitude satisfied him.

Looking at Shumu Mizuki in front of him, Danzo couldn't help but think of Uchiha Shin, who has become more and more popular recently, and his eyes couldn't help but become gloomy. Although these two teenagers who graduated from the same class were equally outstanding, he had no regard for Uchiha Shin. Feeling genuinely disgusted.

For no other reason, just because his surname is Uchiha, for Danzo, who thoroughly implements the will of the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan is a time bomb that exists in Konoha. As long as the blood of this clan flows, he will bring it with him. Treat it with colored eyes.

The better Uchiha Shin is and the more famous he is in Konoha, the more he will regard him as a thorn in his side. Even if the other party is far from being a threat to him, he has no intention of continuing to let it grow, so he has already begun to think of ways. Suppress Uchiha Shen.

Looking at Shumu Mizue, Danzo felt something in his heart. There seemed to be an opportunity in front of him, so he said: "Orochimaru probably hasn't mentioned it to you yet. Konoha will hold the Chunin Selection Examination soon. I suggest you It's best to participate. With your current strength, being a mere genin is completely meaningless."

As far as he knew, Uchiha Shen had already signed up for the Chunin Selection Examination. Based on the information he had, if nothing unexpected happened, Uchiha Shen's strength would definitely be among the top ones in this Chunin Selection Examination. First, it can be expected that the reputation of the opponent's genius will become even louder, which he does not want to see.

The Shumu Jianyue in front of him was one of the few people of the same age who could be compared with him. This confidence did not come from some inexplicable reason, but came from the information he had and the missions he had completed in the ANBU.

Shumu Mizuki was stunned, having no idea that there was such a thing as a chuunin selection exam.

Orochimaru has indeed not told himself yet. Thinking about it, whether he asked himself to wait for him here might have something to do with this matter.Also, why did Danzo persuade him to participate in this chunin selection, and what was the other party's purpose?

With thoughts swirling in his mind, he decided not to reply yet, "Danzo-sama, the teacher probably hasn't had time to tell me about this matter yet. I want to listen to his opinion first before making a decision."

Danzo had a gloomy face and couldn't tell what he was thinking. He just nodded lightly, as if he just reminded him casually and didn't care too much.

"Master Danzo, I have been waiting for you for a while, but you are chatting with my disciples outside. This is not very good, hehe."

Orochimaru walked out of the Hokage Building at some point, walked up to Shumizuki, and smiled softly at Danzo, without any respect in his words.

Danzo still had a gloomy face, as if he had already become accustomed to Orochimaru's attitude. He gave him an indifferent look and walked past him expressionlessly.

The master and disciple looked at Danzo's back, and then looked at each other again.

Shumu Mizuki spoke first: "Teacher Orochimaru, I just learned from Danzo-sama that there is a so-called chunin selection exam, and he even advised me to take part. I don't know what it means."

Orochimaru was a little surprised. He pondered for a moment and seemed to understand something. He smiled inexplicably and whispered to Shumu: "Don't pay attention to him. As for the so-called Chunin Selection Exam, I didn't. I’m going to ask you if you want to participate.”

"What about your attitude, teacher?" Shumu Jianyue asked with a smile.

Orochimaru's eyes glanced at Shumu Mizuki's face as if unintentionally, and then said calmly: "Actually, according to Sarutobi-sensei's idea, you should wait a few years before participating, and don't show off too early. I don't have any opinion on this. You Just decide for yourself.”

Shumu Jianyue fell silent, his thoughts swirling in his mind, weighing the pros and cons.

If he really takes part in the Chunin Selection Examination, he should not have a big problem in successfully being promoted to Chunin based on his strength. However, after being promoted to Chunin, he will get almost all the rights that he should have after becoming a Chunin as a disciple of Orochimaru, and even More.As for becoming a chuunin and being qualified to become a team leader and lead a team, he was not very interested.

And why is it at this time? The second ninja war is just around the corner. Shouldn't we prepare for the war with all our strength? It seems too careless to even have time to prepare for the chunin selection exam. What is the meaning of it?

However, after careful consideration, he decided to participate. He could not be a genin for ten thousand years. Since he had the opportunity to be promoted, he would participate even to make his name sound better.

"Think about it carefully. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted, I'm afraid that in the next few years, unless there are special circumstances, it will be difficult for you to get the chance to get promoted." Orochimaru smiled in an unintelligible way.

Shu Mu was startled when he saw the moon, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his heart.
