Konoha 60, early February
In the Land of Fire, Konoha
11 AM
Mitarai Anko finally stepped out of the door of Konoha's "internal investigation class". She yawned and followed 1212 in front of her in a daze. Her mind was still replaying the three days of her miserable life being "investigated". Well, she should be thankful, at least it wasn't the torture department, right?
But not letting her sleep was not an idea that a good person would come up with. Anyway, Anko was so sleepy that she couldn't take it anymore, so she signed the "Voluntary Hypnotized Consent Form". Finally, she confirmed that she still had no evidence to prove that she had been in contact with the traitorous ninja sensei who had betrayed the village. Of course, there was still no evidence to prove that she had not been in contact with the legendary Orochimaru.
Annoying.
Although Anko understood that under the premise that there was no threat to her life, being "investigated" was indeed the same thing as spiritual power training. But …
But it didn't matter, she was used to it anyway. From the age of 12 until she finally became a Jonin a few years ago, she was almost certainly treated like this at least once a year. But was there a need for that? She always asked, "Where is Orochimaru? Did Orochimaru come back to find you? Did Orochimaru give you anything …"
Tsk, she hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Who knew what he looked like? And she really didn't remember that she had such a cool sensei. She was sure that the first time she heard the strange name "Orochimaru" was in the Anbu interrogation room.
So cruel, for a useless information, a 12-year-old girl was hung up and beaten. She really thought that she was going to die at that time. But in the end, she was still alive.
Well, Anko had to admit that her being alive and well had nothing to do with whether it was necessary to be "regularly interrogated". She was just lucky that the current Naruto -sama paid attention to her. Well, at that time, that person was not a high-ranking person, so even if he dared to secretly put Thor's coordinates in the Anbu prison, what was the point?
She deserved to kneel before Big Sister Kina's abacus when she returned home.
Fortunately, that guy had secretly lied to her and said that the "interrogation" was a "very normal special training". Otherwise, she might have really been tortured into a confession. At that time, hehe, a candidate for Naruto who has a good relationship with the Traitor Ninja Disciple?
Mitarashi Anko snickered to herself as she stomped on the heel of the person in front of her with a "thud."
"Kakashi, why are you putting your foot under my foot?"
Hearing Anko's unreasonable words, the former captain of Naruto's guard and the current acting Minister of the Anbu Department, Kakashi, once again had the impulse to strangle the woman behind him. Why on earth did he have to put down the pile of work at hand and come to support this damned woman? "We've known each other for so many years! Don't try to find something to talk about. "
Anko pouted and said, "Kakashi, have you ever thought of a problem …"
"Speak." Kakashi continued walking slowly.
"If what they said is true, then my Sensei is Orochimaru. Then, as the disciple of Orochimaru's classmate's disciple, Kakashi, who am I to you? Am I an elder? "
Was it really that funny? Kakashi listened to the silly girl giggling behind him. Once again, he understood why his Sensei always said that "interrogation" and "spiritual training" were the same thing. "You were acting like you were dying just now! Why are you acting so energetic now! "
"Ah, Kakashi, why are you being so serious? It's been a few years since I played an interrogation game, so I'm a bit excited. "Anko grinned.
Kakashi looked at the row of small white teeth that sparkled under the sun, and his heart began to turn cold. "Don't learn from Guy, okay? Also, don't blame Sensei, this time, he …"
"I know, I know." Anko rushed to answer. "That Orochimaru did something to my body. There must be a reason why the Four Generations decided to do this. You people in the upper echelons are always turbulent. Besides, he's Naruto, so he has to give everyone an explanation. I understand that he did it for my own good. I'm a Jonin now, so it's better to come to a conclusion than to be suspected all day long. "
"You." Kakashi looked at Anko, who was eagerly looking for a reason, and knew what to say, but he found that he had nothing to say.
"Okay, Kakashi, I haven't eaten for three days, treat me to meatballs. You're not busy, right?"
"I'm fine … Let's go to the market. Sensei said that he wanted to eat hot pot before it gets hot. I'll see Guy in the afternoon, and I'll inform him. Don't be late. "
"I'll pass, I'm on a diet." Anko yawned. "And I haven't slept for three days, so … I'm tired."
… It's better not to bring up the past …
Afternoon.
Intelligence Department.
"Hurry up, it's rare that I don't have to work overtime today." Bo Fung Watergate sat on the chair of the Intelligence Department's Minister, playing with a pigeon skeleton, urging him to speak quickly.
"We can't prove that there's no problem with Anko yet." The person standing across the table patiently persuaded the guy who robbed his office.
"But you can't prove that there's a problem with her."
"Leader of the Four Generations, Naruto -sama, please don't let your emotions get the better of you."
"What do you mean I'm being emotional? I've already handed the person over to you, and you didn't find anything. "
"I'm reserving my opinion. I know you want to promote Anko during the Chunin Exam. But this person is too risky, and the General Staff has the same idea. "
"Risk means opportunity. Even in a relationship, there are times when you pick the wrong person. Anyway, no matter what Orochimaru does this time, Konoha won't benefit. You know that guy from the Kazekage is not willing to die. Originally, he didn't need to worry about it. The Land of Wind has already chosen Konoha between the Sand and Konoha. Let's not talk about whether he can win or not. Even if he wants to fight, he has no money. But Orochimaru is so poor that all he has is money. So it's better to be prepared for a fight. "
"This has nothing to do with Anko."
"How can it have nothing to do with her? Why did you have to take Anko out during the New Year? Why did the elders agree to let me take Anko out? Haven't you figured it out? "Bo Fung Watergate despised the Intelligence Department's Minister." Your analytical ability has regressed. "
"I'm only responsible for providing information, not analysis." Shikaku Nara was a little irritated. He found that as long as it was related to Orochimaru, everything was in a fog. Not only was it not a person playing chess, but it was also hard to say whether it was a game of chess or not.
"So your opinion doesn't mean anything." That being said, Naruto still felt that it was necessary to unify his thinking with his right-hand man. "The elders' attitude is that since they can't determine where Orochimaru will start, it's better to use Anko to leave him a flaw. The Chunin Exam is a good opportunity for Orochimaru to cause trouble. And … "
Looking at Naruto's long-winded speech, the Intelligence Department's Minister, who has been losing patience recently, directly interrupted his boss. "Don't you want to get rid of Anko before you fight with Orochimaru?"
"Did I?"
Looking at his boss's eyes without the slightest guilty conscience, Shikaku was helpless. "I know that since Orochimaru ran away, Anko has been with you for more than ten years. You can't bear to part with her now. You can't get rid of her. "
"According to what you said, I have nothing to do but drink and chat with Orochimaru. Naruto can't get rid of her."
"It's not the same thing. Anko was left in Konoha by Orochimaru. Who doesn't know that?"
"I don't care. This is settled. I will start to use her in the Chunin Exam. The elders will not object. "
"Yes." Looking at Naruto who began to act shamelessly, the Intelligence Department's Minister hated his colleagues who asked him to dissuade him. But just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in." Bo Fung Watergate answered first for his Minister.
When he opened the door, the senior employee of the Intelligence Department thought that he had entered the wrong office. Under Naruto's inexplicable gaze, he had cold sweat and could only report. "The Mizukage called."
Shikaku reached out and took the telegram note. He waved his hand to let his subordinates leave. He found that he began to hate the Mizukage, always interrupting at critical moments. "Bo Fung Watergate? A girl wrote you a letter. Do you want to read it yourself, or do you want me to read it for you? "
"Give it to me." Watergate said with a bad mood.
"What did the woman say?" Looking at Watergate who was reading the note carefully, the senior Intelligence Department's occupational disease ignited the fire of gossip.
Watergate returned the note to Shikaku. "You read it. The handwriting is smaller than a mosquito's leg. It's so tiring."
"How can intelligence be written in such a big font?" Shikaku took out a pair of foldable glasses from his coat pocket and opened the note. He looked at Watergate who was still rubbing his eyes. "You should get a pair of glasses when you have time."
"Don't talk nonsense. Read it."
"Cough," Shikaku coughed and began to read.
Bo Fung Watergate, the Wave Country is a vassal state of the Water Country. What right do you have to intervene in the internal affairs of the Wave Country? Even if you want the Wave Country, we have no objection. It's not a problem to kill a legitimate businessman, but what's wrong with framing the Mist Ninja? As a potential ally, I think it's necessary for you to give me a reasonable explanation on this matter. Also, I hope to receive an invitation to visit the Chunin Exam. I heard that Konoha is prosperous. As one of the Five Kages, the Mizukage, I think I'm qualified to ask Naruto to accompany me personally. – Mei Teru.
Shikaku held back his laughter. "Minato, we are on a date. She wants to hit on you."
Naruto looked at Shikaku. "She doesn't want to be eaten by the Cloud and the Lightning Country. She can only come to the Fire Country and Konoha! Record:
Since the end of the Third World War, the Wave Country has separated from the Water Country and became an independent country with complete sovereignty. In fact, the one who killed Gato was the Mist Ninja The Peach Ground Will Never Be Severed. As a potential ally, helping to eliminate the Mist Ninja is an obligation. It was also found that Gato violated the laws of the Wave Country. In view of the fact that the Wave Country and Konoha now have a de facto employment relationship, Konoha will not give up any means to protect the territorial integrity and economic security of the Wave Country. – Konoha Four Generations Naruto.
"Give her an invitation?"
"She doesn't dare to leave her nest easily. Wait for her military observer to arrive at the entrance of Konoha. Well, I'm going back, I still have things to do. "
The Intelligence Minister, who didn't achieve his goal, could only sigh silently to his boss who had disappeared.
…
At this time, in Naruto's office.
Asuma, Kakashi, Kurenai and Guy, who were called by Naruto for a meeting, have been waiting for Naruto for a while. Kakashi, who just got rid of Guy's unreasonable pestering, was thinking about whether to stop Asuma's impulse to light a cigarette when the owner of the office came back.
"Asuma." Naruto, who was already sitting behind the desk, hooked his finger at his subordinate who was addicted to smoking.
Asuma instantly smiled and put out the cigarette.
"Take it out and confiscate it." Watergate looked at Asuma seriously.
Asuma reluctantly took out a cigarette box and put it on the table, and then took out another one under Kurenai's sharp gaze.
Naruto nodded to Kakashi. "How is it going?"
"Ah, the first one is okay, but the second one is not okay." Kakashi answered casually. He saw that Sensei's face was a little gloomy when he heard that Anko didn't plan to have dinner with them, so he immediately added. "But I bought the things."
Bo Fung Watergate nodded again, and then he began to talk to the others.
"I called you here to ask, in March, who among your students do not think is suitable for the Chunin Exam?"
"…"
"What's the problem? Hurry up and say it – Guy?"
"Sama, I'm a second-year Genin who have been at the border for three months." Guy looked at Kakashi provocatively.
Naruto ignored Guy's abnormal state and looked at the other person. "Asuma, Kurenai?"
"No problem."
The two Genin answered confidently in unison.
Bo Fung Watergate felt strange. "Then why didn't you give a positive reply when I sent the notice? I thought there would be a problem."
"I have to inspect them again before I can rest assured." Sarutobi and Asuma saluted and smiled.
"But please rest assured, the results are good." Kurenai also saluted. "I have confidence in my students."
"Ah, there's more." Guy hugged Kakashi's neck from behind. After being pushed down by Kakashi, he replied. "Kakashi said last month that he would treat us when he came back from a mission. Today, we can come together."
"Is that so?" Minato interrupted Kakashi, who wanted to say something to Guy, and smiled at his disciple who was being heckled. "Kakashi, did you bring enough money?"
Kakashi was a little hesitant, but Watergate didn't give Kakashi time to object. "Hey, you guys can have fun. Kurenai, watch them. Don't make trouble when they're drunk!"
