Without hesitation, Zhang Ye put on the blindfold and immediately felt that the whole world was pitch black. He couldn't feel anything, and he didn't even know whether he was standing or lying down.

A few minutes later, Orochimaru removed the blindfold from Zhang Ye's face and looked at him with a smile.

"Very good! Very good! Very good!"

Three consecutive "Very good"s left Zhang Ye quite confused. After speaking, Orochimaru turned and walked forward, saying, "Follow me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Ye quickly followed behind Orochimaru, and at this moment he began to take stock of his current location.

This place was like a vast basement, with a very cold and gloomy atmosphere. Every now and then, Zhang Ye could smell a faint scent of blood permeating the air.

It wasn't the smell of blood from a dead body, but rather the smell emanating from someone who frequently engages in combat.

Suddenly, Zhang Ye felt a gaze as sharp as a needle piercing his bones fixed on him.

A mix of feelings—unease, fear, panic—rushed into his mind, and the scene before him seemed to suddenly change.

No longer in a gloomy basement, but in a jungle, he was surrounded by countless people, each wearing a headband.

Konoha ninja headband!

Instantly, a scorching heat surged into his heart, and the scene before him shattered like glass in all directions.

The scene before him returned to how it was when he first arrived in the basement.

Orochimaru, arms crossed, stared at Zhang Ye with interest, and then said, "Not bad!"

When Zhang Ye tried to use his True Sight to see who had plotted against him, he discovered that this place was different from the previous one.

The layout here is completely opposite to that of the other room. Although the items on both sides are similar, Zhang Ye has been observing this place ever since he entered.

There is one less oil lamp on the right than on the left, but here it is the complete opposite.

Orochimaru's smile deepened.

"very good!"

Zhang Ye, who was still thinking, was interrupted by Orochimaru's "Very good." Zhang Ye also saw the "I am very satisfied" look in Orochimaru's eyes.

"Lord Orochimaru, what is this...?" Zhang Ye was completely baffled and had no idea what Orochimaru was doing.

*Clap clap clap!*

A round of applause came from a dark corner, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, emerged from the shadows, a look of satisfaction in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Ye.

"Lord Hokage, what are you doing here? Where exactly is this place?" Zhang Ye now seemed to know where he was.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also noticed the realization in Zhang Ye's eyes.

“You should already know where this place is,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

Zhang Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I think this is probably the most hidden and mysterious Anbu in Konoha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, then do you know why I summoned you here today?"

"I think the Hokage wants me to join the Anbu, right?"

"Hahaha, Orochimaru, you were right after all. This kid Zhang Ye is indeed very talented and a promising talent." Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but praise Zhang Ye.

This made Zhang Ye, who is usually very thick-skinned, blush.

"Xiao Ye, what you're thinking is correct, but there's one thing wrong. It's not about joining the Dark Division. Although your current strength is enough to join the Dark Division, we still need to follow the rules step by step. We can't break the rules left by the older generation!"

At this moment, Orochimaru said, "Although it also belongs to the Anbu, it is different from the Anbu. We want you to enter the 'Yin'!"

"Negative?"

Zhang Ye had never heard of or heard of the organization 'Yin' before; it wasn't even mentioned in the original novel.

"Yes, let me give you an example. If the Anbu is equivalent to a Genin, then the 'Yin' is like the Ninja Academy. If you can't graduate from the 'Yin,' you can't possibly enter the Anbu!" Orochimaru explained.

"Oh, I see."

Orochimaru's explanation was indeed simple and straightforward; Zhang Ye understood exactly what the so-called 'yin' meant after hearing it only once.

"But I haven't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet. Can I still enter 'Yin'?" Zhang Ye asked.

Ninja promotions are also conducted step by step, and there is never any so-called exceptional promotion. Otherwise, Naruto, who defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, would definitely have been promoted from genin to elite jonin in one fell swoop. But he didn't. Instead, he followed the established procedure, starting with the chunin exams and gradually being promoted to the jonin level.

"Don't worry about that. I'll talk to the ninja academy about it when I get back. All you need to do now is confirm whether you're willing to join 'Yin'!"

Joining the Anbu is indeed the fastest way to get promoted. Although ordinary ninjas can carry out missions, the missions they do are known all over the world, except for classified missions.

However, the Dark Division is different. All the missions they carry out are kept secret, so people there can be promoted very quickly.

In addition, I have a very difficult task to complete. There are still one year and eleven months left before the deadline for the "household name" task. It would be best to complete it ahead of schedule.

"I'm willing!" Zhang Ye said firmly. He didn't want to die before he even had three years to live in the Naruto world; that would be too frustrating.

Moreover, I've never experienced what it's like to be a woman, either in this life or my past life!

"Okay, you can report here tomorrow. I'll have White Fang personally bring you here tomorrow morning. You can go back now!"

"What?" Zhang Ye was dumbfounded. Wasn't there supposed to be an assessment to join the Anbu? How come he could just enter without any tests? Zhang Ye didn't believe that the Hokage had given him a back door, so he quickly asked.

"You don't need to worry about that. There were three tests in total, and you've passed them all!" Orochimaru explained. "You did very well in the first test of courage, not panicking at all even after losing your five senses. You also passed the second test of illusion, being able to break through the illusion created by an elite Chunin in a short time. The third test of observation skills, I'm sure you've already noticed the difference between the previous room and this one."

"So, you've passed the test!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Instant Step!

Uchiha clan's residence.

A solemn and dignified atmosphere prevailed.

In a room in the center, a middle-aged man was kneeling on one knee with a ferocious expression.

He was Uchiha Hanyan, the captain of the Uchiha Guard. Sitting in front of him were three men who looked much older than Hiruzen Sarutobi, the one in the middle with long white hair.

This person is Uchiha Mukuro, the head of the Uchiha clan. Don't underestimate him. Although he is very old, he once followed the First Hokage and Madara through thick and thin, and even the current Hokage doesn't dare to do anything to him.

Moreover, as long as he is in power, the Uchiha clan will surely prosper.

The two people beside him were elders of the Uchiha clan.

On the left is the First Elder, Uchiha Yagyu, and on the right is the Second Elder, Uchiha Shotaro.

"idiot!"

"Chieftain..."

Uchiha Hanyan knelt there in fear and awe, his body trembling slightly.

Uchiha Mukuro's half-closed eyes suddenly snapped open, unleashing a torrent of killing intent as he glared at him: "Masahiko and Shiki are the hope of our Uchiha clan. Yet this mere brat has managed to crush all the rising geniuses in our clan. We Uchiha cannot let this go unavenged!"

Uchiha Hanyan's spirits lifted upon hearing the clan leader's words. He was overjoyed, finally able to avenge his son.

Ever since Jianren and Zhang Ye's duel, he has been in a very bad state, sitting blankly every day, no different from a vegetable.

He felt only anger and sorrow!

He never imagined that Masahiko, whose strength was among the top in Chunin, would be killed by a child who wasn't even a ninja, and then completely outmatched Uchiha Shiki in the Ninjutsu Tournament.

Zhihui is still in a slump, and ultimately, the culprit behind all of this is that bastard, Izayoi Zhang Ye.

If he had known this would happen, he would have just sent a Jonin to carry out this mission and kill that brat!

But that won't work now. Zhang Ye has become the champion of the Ninja Tournament and is quite famous in Konoha. If he suddenly disappears, all the blame will be directed at them, which would be a huge loss.

Furthermore, the winner of the Ninjutsu Tournament has a high chance of becoming the Hokage's personal disciple.

This will make their actions even more difficult.

"But that brat Zhang Ye could very well become the Hokage's next personal disciple, we..."

Uchiha Mukuro coldly stared at Uchiha Hanyan, his tone revealing a hint of ruthlessness, and said, "So what if you become the Hokage's personal disciple? It's not like we haven't killed the Second Hokage's disciples before. Did the Second Hokage say anything? No. What does it matter if we kill Zhang Ye? The most important thing now is the face of the Uchiha clan. Do you understand face?"

"Yeah, if we, the mighty Uchiha, were to back down just because that brat showed a little bit of talent, wouldn't that make us a laughingstock? How would we, the Uchiha, ever stand in the ninja world again!"

The elder on the left, Uchiha Yagyu, echoed.

"I...I understand..."

Uchiha Hanyan responded in a trembling voice.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mukuro nodded and closed his eyes along with the two elders beside him. The guards at the door told him to leave.

After leaving the mansion, Uchiha Hanyan punched the wall.

"You damned old bastard, you're trying to make me a scapegoat! Since you won't let me live, then I won't let you get away with it either! Izayoi Zhang Ye, is that it? You just wait!"

……

Upon returning home from the secret base, Zhang Ye went straight into his house.

I couldn't wait to open the system.

"Luxury lucky draw! Luxurious lucky draw!"

Zhang Ye's face was filled with excitement; he had drawn two perfect abilities from a regular lottery.

The "Luxury Lottery" is clearly a much better lottery than a regular one, judging from the name alone.

"System, initiate the deluxe lottery for mission rewards!" Zhang Ye excitedly chanted in his mind.

"Start the lottery, and we're going to... the big draw!"

This time, the lottery is no longer a spinning wheel like before; instead, it's a square made up of individual squares with a total of nine items.

Each item is marked with a reward item.

The first three rows contain rare items and skills from the Naruto world: Sage Body, Rinnegan, and Flying Thunder God Technique.

The middle three rows represent items and skills from the One Piece world: Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Paramecia type), Three Types of Haki, and Fire-Dragon Fruit (Mythical Zoan type).

The last three rows are the Zanpakuto and their skills from the Bleach world: Zanpakuto (Ryujin Jakka), Zanpakuto (Hyourinmaru), and Shunpo.

Nine items, each one a top-tier item and skill in that world. Of course, aside from Shunpo, most Shinigami in the Bleach world seem to possess this move, making it one of the most common skills.

"Let's begin! Anything except Instant Step is fine!" Zhang Ye looked at the scene in front of him with the same excitement as someone obsessed with gambling in a casino.
