Picked up a copy of Konoha Ninja

A few days later, when the news came back to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately brought all the senior officials of Konoha to the ANBU prison.

"Hey, do you really want to let me out?" Obito looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a suspicious look on his face.

Akimichi Tofeng stood aside and took the words, "Not only do I want to let you out, the Third Hokage has approved your request to promote you and Kakashi to Jonin."

"Can I still be promoted even if I don't take the jounin exam?" Obito said with a weird look on his face.

The ANBU ninja stepped forward and opened the iron door for him, and Obito, who had not been handcuffed or shackled for a long time, immediately walked out.

"With the strength you showed in the two battles of the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Frost, you are fully qualified to be a Jonin." Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped forward with a solemn voice, "Uchiha Obito, now I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am the Third Generation. In the name of Hokage, I will promote you to the rank of Konoha Murakunin."

"Thank you, Lord Third Hokage." Obito was naturally not stupid enough to refuse.

"Next, I will transfer you and Kakashi into the ANBU. You two, start as the ANBU captain."

"Can the Third Hokage transfer me to Yamato's class?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen left the ANBU with Obito and walked in the corridor to the Hokage's office. After thinking for a moment, he said: "With your strength, you can indeed be a squad leader."

"But right now I have a task I want to give you."

"Are you going to Ryūchi Cave to hunt down Orochimaru?" Obito said in a solemn voice.

"I'm just going to confirm his whereabouts. We will send additional personnel to hunt down Orochimaru."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat behind his desk, "We have found traces of suspected Akatsuki around the battlefield on the front line of Tian Country."

"So, the Third Hokage is worried that Akatsuki will interfere in our pursuit of Orochimaru. After all, he is now a member of Akatsuki."

"But our ANBU are still unable to explain Akatsuki's failure to rescue Orochimaru." Hiruzen Sarutobi called Obito over this time, but he didn't have any idea to solve his doubts.

"Because the time has not come yet." Obito said subconsciously.

"Other members of the Akatsuki, especially the leader of the Akatsuki, Obito, can you provide us with some information?"

"Not yet." Obito shook his head slightly.

"You have a connection with the traitorous ninja from the country of Taki. Do you think that the ANBU in our village really can't discover the communication between you?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with narrowed eyes.

"As expected of the Third Hokage." Obito smiled bitterly, "The information I have currently only knows that Akatsuki has one more member."

"Who is it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became interested.

"One of the seven ninja swordsmen in front of Kirigakure, Juuzou Hagi who holds the beheading sword."

"Is he this guy?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn, "It seems that Akatsuki really does what you said, and only recruits some ninjas who have the blood inheritance limit or are powerful."

"They choose not to reveal their whereabouts and capabilities for the time being just to hide. They will only take action when the time is right."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a few seconds and then spoke, "Since he used the excuse of maintaining world peace, how could he give up the great opportunity of the Great Ninja World War to leave the major villages with empty defenses?"

Obito shrugged. He couldn't tell Sarutobi Hiruzen directly because the other Pain hadn't been finished yet.

"You go to Ryūchi Cave first. This is the first task assigned to you after you are promoted to Jonin."

"Yes."

"In addition, I agreed to your request for Ryūchi Cave to send liaison ninja snakes in our Konoha. Since your lineage can practice celestial arts in Ryūchi Cave in the future, then Ryūchi Cave can also be regarded as a foreign aid to our Konoha. .”

"Yes."

After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table, "As for the matter about the Uchiha clan you mentioned, I plan to wait for Minato to come back and let him discuss it with Fugaku. With their relationship, they should be able to discuss this better. Something."

"The Third Hokage is quite thoughtful."

"Okay, stop complimenting me, you go down first. Lin is currently accompanying Kushina in the orphanage. Soon after Tsunade returns to the village, I will let her practice medical ninjutsu next to Tsunade. It's over. The wish of the three of you.”

"Kakashi went to Mt. Myoboku to practice senjutsu, and even Rin is going to practice with Master Tsunade. Then the three of us will all become disciples of the Sannin," Obito said with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded heavily, with a bit of relief on his face.

The Konoha Sannin were named after the demigod Sansho Hanzo, but he was the one who created it. The Konoha Sannin combination based on the seventh team under his command would be a good story if it could continue.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Lord Third Hokage."

"Go."

Obito went out and followed a leading ninja to the Anbu, where he received a set of jounin vests. Looking at the masks hanging all over the wall, he took a snake pattern mask and put it on his face, absorbing it with chakra. , it will not fall off normally.

He was taken to the ANBU dressing room by Akimichi Tofaze, where a group of three people had already been waiting.

"This "Snake Kiss" will be the leader of your team from now on."

"Yes." The three of them couldn't help but look up at Obito. Only Yamato, the shortest, saw Obito's identity.

After Akimichi Tifeng left, Obito glanced at the three ninjas in front of him and said, "They all look like old acquaintances, Asuma and Kurenai."

"Humph, squad leader, I think you should call us by our code names in ANBU. I am called Tobacco Rod." Sarutobi Asuma snorted and said.

"Pfft", Obito couldn't help laughing, but it made Asuma's shoulders rise and fall, obviously a little annoyed.

"That squad leader, my name is Kasumi." Yuhi Hong took a step forward and said.

"Oh, I thought with your personality Hong, you would be called Crane."

Kurenai Yuhi was a little embarrassed, "Captain, let's assign tasks first. I heard that the Third Hokage gave you a very important task."

"You must have listened to what your father said." The ANBU ninja who brought Obito here just now is Yuhi Kurenai's father, Yuhi Mako, who is good at illusions.

"Yes."

"Then tell me, why do I need to take you with me on my personal mission?"

Yuhi Hong looked embarrassed, "Captain, I think we can help you with our strength."

Obito touched his chin with one hand, "I thought you all wanted to see Ryūchi Cave."

As he spoke, he glanced at Asuma and said, "I heard that the Daimyo-dono wants to form a new escort team to avoid being attacked by the companions of the grieving ninjas who died in the enemy villages after the war. Why don't you try it."

"I was rejected by the old man." Asuma suddenly became angry and endured it. He had no choice but to tell Obito the truth.

"Go, I can help you intercede." Seeing Kurenai's tragic life after Asuma's death later in the manga, Obito would not choose to have too much mercy on this guy.
