Chapter 39: Breaking the record of Genin joining the Anbu

Zhou Cheng's alertness reached its highest level.

These four old foxes are all here.

What do they want to do?

Or discovered something?

He just stood there quietly, waiting quietly, without saying anything or asking any questions.

After a long while, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the pipe on the table. He coughed lightly. This kid has quite a bit of patience:

"Child, we called you here today to become your disciple!"

"Now, not only Danzo and I, but even the two advisors are fond of you!"

"We all want to take you in as our apprentice. You can choose one of us to be your disciple!"

When Zhou Cheng heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

What do you mean?

Now even the consultant wants to take me in as his apprentice?

Damn it, if I had known I wouldn’t have acted so evil.

Now we are in trouble. Kakashi alone cannot control these four people.

Zhou Cheng saw that the four of them were just looking at him, waiting for him to make a choice.

But he couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhou Cheng still didn't speak, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three looked at each other. Zhou Chengguo certainly didn't want to take any of them as his master, but they didn't dare to force him for fear of leaving a bad impression on him.

And they will not give in to each other. If one of them forces Zhou Cheng to be his disciple, the other two parties will unite to deal with him, and the situation will fall into a vicious circle!

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and could only use that method:

"Since you don't want to be a disciple of any of us, we won't force you!"

"You are now a Genin, a real ninja!"

"You need to get some experience. You can join my Anbu and become a member of it. After three years, you can choose to leave Anbu or continue to stay in it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was confident that if he could brainwash Zhou Cheng within three years, he would have a genius who was loyal to Konoha and to himself.

Danzo then spoke up, saying that this child must belong to the Root:

"You can also choose to join my Root. The Root and the Anbu are the same. They are all for Konoha!"

"The time is also three years. After three years, you can choose to stay or leave!"

Danzo was already imagining in his mind that with the brainwashing methods of the Root, Zhou Cheng would have become a sharp blade loyal only to him three years later, clearing away all obstacles for him to become the Hokage.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu saw the other two people starting to promote themselves, and they didn't want to fall behind.

He spoke quickly:

"You can also choose to join our Advisory Department. The Advisory Department is the most powerful place besides the Hokage!"

“You can get a lot of privileges and conveniences!”

"We only need you for three years!"

After listening to this, Zhou Cheng fell silent again.

It looks like we have to choose a department to join today.

Since these old foxes were unable to recruit apprentices, they planned to have Zhou Cheng join the department under their jurisdiction.

They became nominal master and apprentice.

After that, a series of operations are carried out to turn the nominal master and apprentice into real master and apprentice.

The four old foxes got less sleep and their brains started working rapidly.

First of all, he would not go to the advisory department.

Consultants, as the name suggests, are more clerical in nature.

It is highly likely that you will not be able to learn any advanced ninjutsu in the advisory department, and you will definitely have to frequently travel between the major ninja villages to deal with political matters!

Zhou Cheng hates this kind of life the most. If he were to live his life again, he would definitely follow his heart.

The most important thing is that as time goes by, Zhou Cheng is afraid that he will become a person who only cares about interests and not emotions!

Zhou Cheng glanced at Danzo again. He disliked this conspirator who ran through half of the original plot from the bottom of his heart.

And his roots, a place of pure darkness.

The Root requires all members to undergo "self-annihilation" training, and they will also be cursed in order to keep secrets.

Danzo thoroughly trained them to be pawns that could fully carry out their missions.

They have no names and no emotions.

There is no past, no future, only the mission in mind.

After the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze died after sealing the Nine-Tails, Danzo wanted to become Hokage smoothly.

He sent out an assassination team from the Root to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was preparing to take over as Hokage again.

It can be said that it is extremely cruel and insane.

In Danzo's eyes, he could sacrifice anyone except himself in order to become Hokage.

If you join the Root, you will only become a pawn of Danzo and lose yourself in endless missions.

Then, Zhou Cheng glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was still smoking his pipe.

Anbu is actually an assassination organization, the first spy agency in the Naruto world.

Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, Uzuki Yugao, Yamato and others all came from Anbu.

Zhou Cheng was helpless, the only option he had was the Anbu.

The most important thing is that his identity as an Anbu can give him some conveniences. He can secretly follow Naruto to steal the Book of Seals without anyone suspecting him.

And if he doesn't choose any of them, he will never be able to walk out of this door!

He took a deep breath and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with complicated eyes. He could only work under this old fox for the time being and then find a way out:

"I choose to join Hokage-sama's ANBU!"

When these words were spoken, some were happy and some were worried.

The smile in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes was about to overflow. He firmly believed that after three years of experience in the Anbu, Zhou Cheng would definitely become a ninja who could stand on his own.

Three years later, Zhou Cheng would be completely loyal to him under his brainwashing.

Danzo and the two advisors surprisingly did not seem too surprised, because they had already agreed that each person would serve for three years.

After seeing the group battle and the reactions of the two consultants, Zhou Cheng was sure that he had fallen into their trap and didn't know what was waiting for him.

But now it's too late, and we can only deal with it as it comes.

Then, Danzo and the two advisors left.

Only Zhou Cheng and Sarutobi Hiruzen were left in the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and tapped the table lightly with his other hand, letting him get familiar with the Anbu first.

Mao Yue Xi Yan, with purple hair, carrying a ninja sword on her back and wearing a mask, appeared beside Zhou Cheng and knelt on one knee.

"He will be in your team from now on, teach him well!"

"Take him to get familiar with the Anbu!"

Mao Yue Xi Gao nodded. He actually joined the Anbu and broke the record of Genin joining the Anbu.

Then, Zhou Cheng followed Mao Yueyuan and left the Hokage's office.

Zhou Cheng looked at Mao Yue Xi Yan who was leading the way in front. The captain of his Anbu turned out to be such a beauty. Hehehe, that’s not a loss!

Get along well with her, and it will definitely pay off in the future.

Zhou Cheng has always believed that the more friends you have, the easier your life will be!

Uzuki Yugao brought him to a building not far from the Hokage Building.

Zhou Cheng's perception spread out and he discovered that there were actually more than a dozen ninjas hiding around him, all of them masked Anbu.

It seems that this is the headquarters of the Anbu!
