Underground of the Hokage Building, Shadow Headquarters.

Suzuki submits the completed tasks, records them, settles the bonus, and turns around and walks out of the mission room after doing this.

Since returning to the village, whether it is the ninja in the Hokage Building, or the shadows that have just entered, although the change in his appearance has caused some people to be surprised, and no one has shown surprise, I am afraid that most people just think that he is in the period of physical growth, and it is normal for his appearance to change, after all, except for some people who are very familiar with him, I am afraid it is difficult to find subtle changes in his appearance.

As for the hair that has changed the most, it may be that his current vitality is too vigorous, and some aspects of his growth and development seem to be much faster than before, but in the past few days when he rushed back to Konoha from the country of Kawano, a layer of hair has regrown on the top of his originally smooth head, and his eyebrows have also grown, which is not as weird as before.

As soon as he walked to the mission room, a dark part came to him at this time, and after seeing the moon surface, he said lightly: "Orochimaru-sama is in the Hokage's office now, he heard that you are back, so let you not rush to leave first, I have something to explain to you." ”

Shuki raised his eyebrows when he saw the moon, and although the other party was wearing a mask, he still recognized it from the other party's voice as Arai Shin, the assistant of Orochimaru's laboratory, and immediately nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

After telling the story, Arai Shin didn't seem to be interested in talking to Shuki Mitsuki again, nodded lightly, and passed by directly.

Shuki Jianyue didn't care, there were too many such people in this dark department, all of them were like machines, and they were emotionally indifferent.

Leaving the gloomy underground and walking onto the ground, Kuruki Mitsuki leaned directly against the door of the Hokage Building, his arms clasped around his chest, and waited for Orochimaru with an expressionless face.

At this moment, a figure walking towards the Hokage building made him frown.

Shuki Mitsuki stood up straight and greeted, "Lord Tuanzang." ”

Although he doesn't have a good impression of this old coward, he can't say that he dislikes it, after all, there is no conflict of interest, let alone grievances, and the only intersection between the two is that the other party failed to solicit him, but the responsibility is not him, no matter how braindead the other party is, it can't be counted on his head.

However, even if you stay away, you still do enough work on the surface first, and don't deliberately please you, but you don't need to be offended.

"It's you." Tuan Zang stopped, looked at Shumu Jianyue, nodded with a cold face, and said lightly in a somewhat gloomy voice: "You did a good job in the shadows, I didn't expect Orochimaru to let you be named in the shadows, he is always so unexpected!" ”

As the head of the root that specializes in transporting blood to the dark part, Tuanzang naturally knows about it, and after discovering that most of the tasks he received coincided with the root, he couldn't help but feel that the other party was very suitable for his appetite.

So much so that he didn't succeed in recruiting Shuki Mizuki into the root at that time, while appreciating it, he also felt a little regretful, but he would no longer fight the other party's idea now.

This is the tacit understanding between him and Ape Fei, although the two have conflicting ideas and styles, but they can get along safely for so many years, it is precisely because of the tacit compromise between each other, since Shuki Mitsuki has been accepted as an apprentice by Orochimaru, if he has any more thoughts, it will undoubtedly destroy this tacit understanding that is not easy to maintain.

"Let's keep working hard, Konoha needs seeds like you more than those imps who can only play ninja games." Tuanzang Road.

Shuki Mitsuki nodded humbly: "Lord Tuanzang is serious, it is my honor to be able to contribute a small force to Konoha!" ”

Kuruki Mitsuki's words softened Danzo's face a little, he easily recognized and appreciated people who could value Konoha above all else, although he didn't think that Shuki Mitsuki could reach this point now, but at least this attitude satisfied him.

Looking at the Shuki Mitsuki in front of him, Danzou couldn't help but think of Uchiha Shin, who had been in the limelight more and more recently, and his eyes couldn't help but become gloomy, these two teenagers who graduated from the same class, although they were equally outstanding, but he felt a sincere disgust for Uchiha Shin.

Not for anything else, just because his surname is Uchiha, for the group that thoroughly implements the will of the second Hokage, the Uchiha clan is a time bomb that exists in Konoha, as long as there is a blood flowing in this clan, he will treat it with colored eyes.

And the better Uchiha Shin is, the more famous he is in Konoha, the more he will regard him as a thorn in his side, even if the other party is far from making him feel threatened, but he has no intention of continuing to let him grow, so he has begun to think of ways to suppress Uchiha Shin.

Looking at Shumu Jianyue, Tuan Zang's heart moved, and there seemed to be an opportunity in front of him, so he spoke: "Orochimaru shouldn't have mentioned it to you yet, and it won't be long before Konoha will hold a middle ninja selection exam, I suggest that you better participate, with your current strength, it makes no sense to be a mere shinobi again." ”

As far as he knew, Uchiha Shin had already signed up for the middle ninja selection exam, and with the information he had, if nothing else, I am afraid that in this middle ninja selection exam, Uchiha Shin's strength definitely belongs to one of the top few, and it can be expected that the reputation of the other party's genius will be even louder, and this is what he does not want to see.

And the Shuki Mitsuki in front of him is one of the few people of the same age who can be compared with him, and this confidence is not inexplicable, but in the information he has, the other party has completed the tasks in the shadows.

Shuki Jianyue was stunned, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as a middle ninja selection exam.

Orochimaru really hasn't told himself yet, so thinking about it, he let himself wait for him here, will it have anything to do with this matter. Also, why did Tuan Zang persuade himself to participate in this middle ninja selection, and what was the other party's purpose.

The thought in his heart turned, and he decided not to reply yet, "Lord Tuanzang, the teacher shouldn't have time to tell me about this matter, I want to listen to his opinion before making a decision." ”

Tuan Zang couldn't see what he was thinking with a gloomy face, but nodded lightly, as if he had just reminded him casually, and he didn't care too much.

"Danzo-sama... Teacher, I've been waiting for you for a while, but you're gossiping with my disciples outside, which isn't good... Huh..."

Orochimaru walked out of the Hokage building at some point, walked over to Shuki Mitsuki's side, and chuckled in a low voice at Danzo, without a trace of respect in his words.

Danzang still had a gloomy face, as if he had long been accustomed to Orochimaru's attitude, he glanced at him indifferently, and walked past him expressionlessly.

The master and apprentice looked at Tuan Zang's back, and then looked at each other again.

Shumu Jianyue spoke first: "Orochimaru teacher, I just learned from the mouth of the Danzang master that there is a so-called middle ninja selection exam, and he also advised me to participate, I don't know what it means?" ”

Orochimaru was a little surprised, groaned, seemed to understand something, smiled inexplicably, and whispered a smile to Shukimi: "Don't pay attention to him, as for the so-called middle ninja selection exam, I was going to ask you if you want to participate." ”

"What about your attitude, teacher?" Shuki asked with a smile.

Orochimaru's gaze swept over Shuki Mitsuki's face as if unintentionally, and then said lightly: "Actually, according to Mr. Sarufei's idea, you should wait a few years before participating, don't be in the limelight too early, I don't have any opinion, you can decide for yourself." ”

Shuki saw that the moon was silent, and the thoughts in his heart turned, weighing the pros and cons.

If he really participates in the middle ninja selection exam, it shouldn't be a big problem to be successfully promoted to the middle ninja with his strength, but after being promoted to the middle ninja, he should have the right to become a middle ninja, and he will get almost everything as a disciple of Orochimaru, or even more. As for being qualified to become a squad leader and lead a squad after becoming a middle ninja, he is not very interested.

And why is it at this time, the second ninja world war is just around the corner, shouldn't you go all out to prepare for the war, and even have the effort to prepare for the middle ninja selection exam, it seems too careless, what is the point of it?

However, after careful consideration, he still decided to participate, he couldn't be a 10,000-year ninja, since he had the opportunity to be promoted, even if it was to make his name better, he would participate.

"You think about it, if you don't take advantage of this time to be promoted, I'm afraid that in the next few years, unless there are special circumstances, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to have a chance to be promoted......" Orochimaru smiled meaningfully.

Shumu was stunned when he saw the moon, and a trace of realization flashed in his heart.
