Chapter 322 Hongdou’s arrangement

The next day, Kadomu came to the Hokage's office as scheduled and continued to help the third generation deal with various documents.

"Hokage-sama, bring Mitarashi Anko."

A report from ANBU instantly made Kazuoki look up from the pile of papers.

The Thunder Tiger team filed in, and Hong Dou was right in the middle of the team.

Anko stood handsomely among the crowd, her face full of curiosity, looking around, and smiled and nodded when she saw Kakugi.

There was no look of worry or nervousness at all.

The third generation nodded secretly, and his evaluation of Anko increased.

Since Orochimaru has been either on the battlefield or in the laboratory in recent years, the third generation has unknowingly had less communication with Orochimaru. The third generation actually doesn't know much about Anko, Orochimaru's disciple.

Now it seems that he does have a certain amount of ability. No wonder he was trained by Orochimaru for so long.

The third generation casually formed a soundproof barrier, covering the entire office.

In fact, the overall sound insulation effect of the office is still very good, but right now, the Hokage's office has no door...

Early this morning, Kakugi went to the mission hall on behalf of the third generation to issue a D-level mission to repair the door...

No ninja has taken on this task yet. Presumably, a ninja who specializes in art and only learns killing skills can't do carpentry.

Kadomu felt that it might be more appropriate to publish the task as "Find a carpenter to repair the door."

It was just that the Third Generation wanted to take the opportunity to train the Konoha genin, so Kakugi announced it.

I hope that the team that takes over the mission will not pull out all the weeds and seedlings like Naruto did on the weeding mission in the original work...

Getting back to the topic, the third generation coughed lightly and said: "Anko Mitarashi, after review, you have no connection with the crimes committed by the traitorous ninja Orochimaru. Here, the village officially pardons you and restores your chuunin status."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." Anko expressed her gratitude politely.

Sandai took a puff of cigarette and looked at Anko with a smile: "So, what are your plans next, Anko?"

When Anko heard the third generation's words, she couldn't help showing a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Originally, everything was fine for Anko. With Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas respected by everyone, as his teacher, everything would be smooth in the future.

Anko has never thought deeply about her future. Apart from working hard to become stronger, keep up with Kadomu's rhythm, and gain the teacher's approval, there seems to be nothing else.

But now, Orochimaru has defected.

This wave of defection was very sudden for Hongdou, and she was completely unprepared.

Although Anko's memory was erased by Orochimaru, the fact that Orochimaru gave her a lot of guidance and help and taught her many ninjutsu is still vivid in her memory.

Now that Orochimaru has defected, Anko only feels a little lost and angry, and then confused.

She had no idea where to go now.

Return to the team that did the previous mission?

After Anko was promoted to chunin, she entered Orochimaru's laboratory, learned ninjutsu from Orochimaru, and helped with chores (at least that's what Anko's memory thought), and she left the previous team.

But Anko's previous team, after Moonlight Hayate and Ibiki left, was completely a team composed of root ninjas.

The two teammates of the team, Shanfeng, still have names, while the remaining Ding Kui only has a code name. Hongdou usually has never had any communication with the two of them outside of the mission.

Hongdou was opposed to these two teammates from the bottom of her heart. They seemed to have no other life except their mission.

Including Teacher Binghuo, who was leading the team at the time, they seemed to have no body temperature.

Hongdou couldn't help but shudder. Even if Genji hadn't tried to take her away by force this time, she didn't want to go back to that ghost place.

However, Anko is now a chuunin and has the qualifications to be a team leader.

Do you want to take care of students now?

Anko thought for a moment, then shook her head.

Although she has sufficient strength and qualifications, Hongdou also knows that she does not yet have the leadership skills and experience to lead a team.

Age is also a drawback.

From this point of view, there was only one way left in front of Hongdou.

Be a task ninja who runs a single gang.

There are actually quite a few such ninjas in Konoha. Matt Dai is a member of a gang and is even known as a "cat-catching expert".

But the trouble with running a solo gang is that there is no fixed team. When encountering more difficult or higher-level tasks, you have to team up with other unfamiliar individuals to receive the tasks.

Anko hesitated secretly, but finally decided to become a mission ninja.

Just when she raised her head to look at Sandai and opened her mouth to prophesy, she saw Sandai looking at her with a smile.

"Anko, do you want to join ANBU?"

"Eh?" Hongdou was stunned. He didn't expect that the third generation would take the initiative to invite him.

"You have learned a lot of ninjutsu from Orochimaru, but in recent years you have been following Orochimaru in the laboratory, and you haven't had many opportunities to practice, right?"

"Join ANBU and perform more combat missions. This will be very beneficial to your future growth."

Sandai thought Anko wanted to refuse, so he quickly persuaded her.

"Ah, okay, thank you, Hokage-sama!" Anko came to her senses and agreed with excitement.

"Haha! Okay!" Sandai nodded happily and ordered: "Thunder Tiger, please take Anko to report to the ANBU."

After saying that, he handed the ANBU documents that had been prepared to Lei Hu.

When Lei Hu was about to leave with Hong Dou, Sandai gave Hong Dou another warning.

"Anko, although Orochimaru has become a rebel ninja, you are still my disciple. If you don't understand anything about training, remember to come to me at any time."

"Yes! Thank you, Master!" Hong Dou said loudly, and the glint in the corner of her eyes could be vaguely seen.

It must be admitted that although Sandai is sometimes weak and sometimes indecisive, he does have a unique personality charm.

After Anko left, Kakugi said to Sandai: "Thank you, teacher!"

The third generation laughed dumbly: "No need, Hongdou is also my disciple." As he said this, the third generation seemed to show a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Maybe the third generation thought of Orochimaru when he was young, his favorite genius disciple.

Kakugi wisely said nothing and went back to do his work honestly.

----

With the efforts of the village, the impact of Orochimaru's defection was quickly suppressed to a minimum, and the dust soon settled.

Life in the village is back on track again.

At this moment, Minato returned with a great victory with the team that went to the Battle of Platycodon Mountain.

Minato's return was warmly welcomed by the villagers.

This was Konoha's first hearty victory since the start of the third war.
