Naruto: Who made him a ninja?.

Chapter 5 New Harvest
"It seems we were a step too slow and Orochimaru escaped."

In Konoha, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a pipe while looking at the report in his hand.

At the same time, he glanced at the Anbu standing in front of him, especially Xiu Ze who was standing behind them, and then he spoke with a little helplessness.

"Although there were some losses, it's good enough to get information about Orochimaru.

We were not fully prepared, so this mission is not considered a failure. Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

All the Anbu present immediately bowed slightly, and Hidezawa in the crowd couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Is this the achievement of being the 'most successful failure case'?
Hidezawa actually knew that the Third Hokage probably didn't want to deal with Orochimaru at all.

Otherwise, when Orochimaru escaped Konoha, why didn't the Third Hokage, who was still at the end of his prime, kill his own relatives for the sake of justice?
You know, in a few years, he'll nod his head to someone who's really going to kill his entire clan.
It's just that what the third generation thinks has little to do with Hidezawa. Anyway, he stayed in Konoha on the one hand because Konoha's "civil servant system" was attractive, and on the other hand because he did not strangle Danzo to death.

What's more, hiding in Konoha, you have Konoha's protection, and even if you do something, Konoha will take the blame. This is a good thing!

"Okay, you go down and rest first."

While Hidezawa was lost in thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke, but he looked at Hidezawa again and suddenly smiled.

"Xiu Ze-kun, thank you for staying a little longer."

Xiu Ze, who was standing behind the crowd and preparing to start running, suddenly stiffened when he heard these words.

He didn't know what the Third Hokage was going to do, but he still stayed where he was.

After all, as a cow or horse who wants to improve, you still have to listen to your boss, right?
"Xiu Ze-kun, according to the report, your performance this time was excellent."

After the other Anbu members left, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile.

"Also, how does it feel to be in the Anbu compared to the Root?"

"Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. Whether you are in the Root or in the Anbu, you are serving Konoha."

Xiu Ze immediately showed a righteous expression, but in his heart he was sighing that the Anbu was much better than the Root!

Apart from anything else, the LV5 sealing technique cost him a lot of free points.

With these free points, his physical fitness can reach level 7.
What's more, Danzo is a bullshit who is like a can of herring - a person that is hated by both humans and dogs. He is so damn dark!

He is willing to kill your whole family at any time. Apart from Xiu Ze himself, how many normal people are there among his subordinates?

However, even though he thought this way, facing Danzo's good friend, the Third Hokage who even let him go when he tried to assassinate him, Hidezawa decided to endure it.

"Yes, they all work for Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no idea what Hidezawa was thinking, and he seemed very satisfied when he heard this.

"Although our duties are different, my old friend has truly cultivated a good seedling for me. The purpose of the Root is to cultivate and train talents for the Anbu."

"."

When Hidezawa heard this, he didn't know how to respond for a moment. It was obvious that what Orochimaru said was right, that is, the third generation knew very well the reason why he was thrown into the Anbu.

But this is not surprising. I'm afraid he and the group have been hiding behind the scenes and have been engaged in verbal battles for a long time.

"Your performance this time was excellent. I will give you sufficient rewards according to the Anbu system."

The Sandaime continued to laugh.

"Also, there will be personnel losses this time, and some teams will be reorganized. Your current team will also be reorganized, and I will reassign people to this team."

"..."

Xiu Ze was slightly stunned. Is this Danzo exerting his strength?
Use Orochimaru to kill a few Anbu, and let him hand over the research materials to Orochimaru, and also let him make arrangements in the Anbu?
Awesome, old man!
Xiu Ze was even considering whether he should leave the old man's body intact when he killed him in the future.

"Everything is subject to the arrangements of Lord Hokage."

Xiu Ze nodded and agreed immediately.

"Okay." Sarutobi Hiruzen still had a smile on his face.

"Xiyan and you cooperated well. Fujikawa was injured this time, so let Fujikawa rest for the time being.

Then you should go down and have a rest. Relax. I am really looking forward to your good performance in the Anbu."

They are indeed master and apprentice.
As Xiu Ze turned and left the office, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

These two people really speak in a piecemeal manner, saying one thing but meaning another behind the scenes.

Fortunately, Xiu Ze is an old hand and he can understand all these words. Moreover, according to his habits in the workplace, he can understand some words and not others.

"But the relationship between these two is too subtle. Could it be that it's really because of the Nine-Tails incident that the Sandaime's wife died, so..."

Suddenly, Xiu Ze couldn't help but shudder. For some reason, the image of Danzo being held down by the Third Hokage, with his head lowered and stammering, unable to speak, kept appearing in his mind.

This weird scene made him turn pale. It was so damn disgusting!

At least turn off the lights so that this image doesn't appear clearly in his mind.
"Are you out?"

Just when Xiu Ze was feeling extremely disgusted, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts and finally pulled him out of this weird scene.

"Senior Xiyan?"

Hidezawa turned around and found that it was Uzuki Yugao who had taken off her mask. He simply took off the mask and then asked with a smile.

"Senior, are you waiting for me?"

"Ah."

Xiyan nodded directly, and then spoke seriously.

"You just joined the Anbu, and you're not familiar with many things. Moreover, you saved me twice in this operation. I..."

Do you want to pledge your love to me?

Xiu Ze raised his eyebrows and thought with some amusement. After all, he was still very confident about his "dignified" appearance.

In fact, no matter what job you do, appearance is always a fighting force. Otherwise, why do good-looking people always end up finding love?
"Then I'll treat you to some ramen!"

Although his mind is full of outrageous ideas, what Xiu Ze says is still very reliable.

"Ugh?"

Xiyan was stunned for a moment. How come it turned out that Xiu Ze was the one inviting her?

Without waiting for Xiyan to speak, Xiu Ze continued to speak with a smile.

"As a junior, it's only natural for me to ask for help from my seniors. Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, we will be teammates in the future. I hope you will bear with me in the future."

"This"

Xiyan was also stunned when she heard this, but she was still a little hesitant, but Xiu Ze did not give her the chance to say anything else.

Reaching out his hand, Xiu Ze held hers, then said with a smile.

"Okay, Senior, let's go. I heard that Ichiraku Ramen is a good place. I haven't tried it in all these years. Besides, I also want to thank you."

"Thank me?"

Xiyan was a little confused, but Xiu Ze just smiled and took her away without answering. However, a piece of information appeared in Xiu Ze's retina.
