"W-what on earth is going on?"

Haiyi frowned, not understanding.

But Tsunade chuckled: "Don't worry, people from outside, come in!"

Tsunade said as the door was pushed open.

A figure walked in with beautiful long hair.

"Well, Ino?"

Haiyi tilted his head, looking confused.

Neji was also slightly surprised, but there was no trace of it.

"From today on, I will accept your daughter as my apprentice. She is very talented and I will personally teach her medical techniques."

"what is going on?"

Haiyi still couldn't help but ask questions.

Morino Ihiki, who had been silent over there, was the first to explain: "This time Neji's behavior allowed the village to get a lot of information about Orochimaru. Although they suffered some injuries, their contribution and growth progress are all ours."

You can see it. Ningci and Xiao Li were promoted to chuunin, and Ino was admitted to the medical department to study. Ningci made the greatest contribution this time."

Anko smiled: "Haha, the main thing is Tsunade-sama. She seems to like Ningji very much. Of course...so do I!"

Her smile was meaningful and she glanced at Neji.

"You actually dare to lead a team to find Orochimaru alone. No matter what the purpose is, you are so courageous!"

Hongdou appreciated it generously.

"Well"……

In this way, with the two advisors looking bad, Tsunade led everyone to make these decisions.

The Intelligence Department was once again assigned more resources by Konoha Village to conduct subsequent research. This time it also provided more information about Orochimaru's stronghold, especially the experiments conducted by Orochimaru.

After coming out of the interrogation room, Neji has provided almost all the information he got. Anyway, those are not critical, and Neji now has prestige and is not an enemy. Naturally, Ibiki has no reason to use any forbearance.

The technique was used to target Neji.

Therefore, the other party has no way of judging whether the information provided by Neji is true or false, and can only accept it in full.

Seeing Ning Cong coming out of the interrogation room, he quickly went to greet him.

"how's it going?"

"Well, it went very well."

"This time...it's all our fault. We almost succeeded." Ino lowered his head.

Neji touched her hair and said with a smile, "Don't worry, what I want most has been achieved. I don't care about the rest."

"By the way, why did you become Tsunade's disciple?" Neji asked.

Ino replied seriously: "This battle made me deeply realize that the role of an auxiliary ninja in actual combat is too small, but my combat ability is really poor. If I want to master medical ninjutsu, I can

It can greatly exert my influence on you!"

"...I don't want to be left behind by Neji-kun!"

Seeing how persistent Ino was towards him, Neji took a deep breath.

The responsibilities on my body are heavier, but I am also happier.

"But, how did you convince Tsunade to accept you as her disciple? She is a very powerful medical ninja." Neji asked.

Ino shrugged and said without understanding: "Actually, she was disdainful at first, but when she knew that I had a good relationship with you, she immediately accepted it, and she also said...she taught me medical treatment

Ninjutsu is to better assist you!"

"Assist me?"

Neji was thoughtful.

…

Konoha, Medical Department.

Ino has left the Intelligence Department and started studying in the Medical Department.

With Shino and Li being promoted to chuunin, Neji's team was forced to temporarily disband.

"In just one month of establishment time, we have completed 52 D-level tasks, 29 C-level tasks, and 2 B-level tasks... It's really amazing."

Tsunade chuckled and praised.

Neji also smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude.

"The team members themselves are excellent and I am honored."

"You guys are still so humble!"

Tsunade looked at the information in front of her and didn't know what she was thinking.

But the smile at the corner of his mouth never disappeared.

Then, she put down the document in her hand and said to Neci: "Boy, I told you that I will protect you in Konoha Village from now on, right?"

"Ah? Well..."

Neji narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his mouth slightly. In fact, he didn't understand what Tsunade was planning.

Tsunade said: "Your performance this time surprised me even more. I didn't expect you to dare to do such a thing. Indeed... If there is anything you are worried about that cannot be solved in the future, you can come to me and make any request at any time! You

Just think of it as repaying the favor. If you hadn't appeared last time, we wouldn't have been able to deal with Kato Dan, who was reincarnated from Orochimaru's dirty soil. If it hadn't been for you, I'm afraid that at that time, Jiraiya and I would have been...

Is it done?"

"You're serious. I just took advantage of the opportunity to try my luck. If it is really necessary, Master Jiraiya will definitely not let you get hurt, right?"

Neji curled his lips and Tsunade frowned.

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Jiraiya, now I can be more interested in you!"

Tsunade's eyes looked at Neji wantonly, and Neji had a bad feeling in his heart.

Why do you feel that this look is not innocent?

"So, you're not afraid of me making any stupid decisions?" Neji asked.

Tsunade quickly shook her head: "No, as long as Hyuga Neji makes an absolute decision, it must be a decision that is good for Konoha Village after careful consideration. This is what Jiraiya and I told him."

Ningji was startled.

It seems that the information, and the map Jiraiya gave him after that fight, was not leaked to the village.

That intelligence became the only information he had, providing the village with information on Orochimaru's two strongholds.

This credit is actually half of Jiraiya's.

It seems... Jiraiya is gradually moving closer to him, which is a good start.

"By the way, Kakashi has something to talk to you about recently. He and Sasuke are on a mission these days. He will go to you in a few days."

"Looking for me? Kakashi?"

Neji was confused, what was Kakashi doing with him?

With this doubt, Ningji still took advantage of the gap to practice within the clan.

The main training items these days are, of course, the four newly mastered fire escape techniques. The battle with Orochimaru made it obvious to Neji that what he lacks most now is a large-scale ninjutsu attack.

After possessing these four kinds of fire escape, you can make up for your own combat shortcomings to a great extent.

Four days later, Kakashi found Neji.

The outer corridor of the Intelligence Department, deep at the end.

Neji leaned against the window and glanced at Kakashi who was convincing him.

"With your current strength, you are fully qualified to do the work of the Anbu. The Intelligence Department is a auxiliary job and can still function without you. But joining the Anbu... you will bring more and greater benefits to the village."

Kakashi also sent out such an invitation out of consideration.

"But, isn't it too early? This is no longer an era of war."

Yes, the Sandaime had already changed the rules of ANBU. ANBU would not accept children under the age of 18. This is why Neji's previous pretending to be ANBU aroused everyone's speculation and suspicion.

"But you are different. Because of Hizu-sama, you have been involved in a lot of confidential information that only high-level officials know. You are the perfect person to become an ANBU." Kakashi invited again.

Neji fell into deep thought.

"Now your reputation has been established within the village because of your contact with Orochimaru. Many departments want to recruit you. Although the village seems peaceful, there are actually many internal conflicts. The most obvious one is the three major ANBU organizations."

"The three major ANBU organizations?" Neji asked.

"Yes, the ANBU directly under the Hokage is the highest level, with the smallest number of people, and the most secretive tasks. It negotiates directly with the Hokage, and the leader is the Hokage. And I who invited you, the ANBU where I used to be, are the assassins of Konoha Village.

The organization has its own system, some of which come from the ANBU directly from the Hokage and take orders from the top."

"The third one, which is the darkest organization with the deepest contradictions. The leader of the root organization is Shimura Danzo."
