NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Three days passed in a flash.
Hitani was standing on the top of the building in the rain, in a daze.
Konan came over from behind: "Mr. Hitani seems to like being alone."
Hitani tilted his head and glanced at her: "Any mission?"
"Well, go to the Fire Country and exchange information with our spies." Konan smiled and said, "Let's go together. From today on, I will be your temporary partner. This is the leader's arrangement."
Rigu's face was calm: "When do we set off?"
"If there is no need to prepare, we can set off immediately, complete the task earlier, and come back earlier." Konan said.
Whoosh.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ri Gu disappeared from the spot and went down the stairs: "Then let's go."
"Flickering Technique? I didn't feel any chakra fluctuations…" Konan was startled for a moment, then quickly followed: "Mr. Hitani, were you using Flickering Technique just now?"
"Instant Step." Hitani replied.
"Flash step? A kind of instant body technique? But why is there no trace of chakra fluctuation?" Konan seemed very curious. Hitani was too lazy to answer.
Konan didn't care: "Everyone has secrets. If Mr. Hitani doesn't want to tell you, I won't force you. But Mr. Hitani is very powerful. This kind of technique is rare."
Hitani still didn't speak.
Konan had to shut up awkwardly.
...
At the same time.
In Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office.
Tsunade was working, and standing next to her was her secretary Shizune.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door, and then Anko Mitarashi walked in: "Hokage-sama, are you looking for me?"
"Yeah." Tsunade looked up from a pile of documents: "Anko, your current position is Konoha's special ninja, right?"
Anko Mitarashi nodded: "Yes."
"I've paid attention to your resume. You are already qualified to be promoted to Jonin. Why are you still staying in the position of Special Jonin?" Tsunade asked.
Anko Mitarashi scratched her head awkwardly: "Because I used to be a subordinate of Orochimaru. Since Lord Orochimaru defected to Konoha, his former subordinates have not been reused. However, Lord Sarutobi still took special care of me. Otherwise, I would not even be qualified to be promoted to Special Jonin."
"Is it because of Orochimaru?" Tsunade nodded and said, "Anko, help me to carry out a mission, and after you complete it, I will directly promote you to be a Jonin."
"Really!?" Anko Mitarashi was extremely happy: "Please give me your orders, Hokage! I will complete any mission!"
"I received intelligence that there is a spy in the Fire Nation who is going to contact a mercenary organization. Please help capture a member of the mercenary organization alive and hand him over to the Anbu for interrogation. Here is the address." Tsunade threw a document over. Anko Mitarashi took the document and checked it: "Mercenary organization? What's its name?"
"I don't know, I've asked Jiraiya to check it out, I believe there will be results soon." Tsunade said.
"An organization whose name you don't know?" Anko Mitarashi didn't care: "No problem, I will complete the task!"
After saying that, Anko Mitarashi left the office happily. After she left, Shizune said worriedly: "Is it really okay to let Anko complete the task alone?"
"No problem, she is an excellent ninja, I believe in her ability." Tsunade smiled slightly and continued to work.
Shizune didn't say anything, but she had a bad premonition.
...
Two days later.
In a forest in the Land of Fire.
Anko Mitarashi was stepping on a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man struggled and begged for mercy: "Sister, I was wrong, please spare my life. I am just an information dealer. I didn't do anything bad."
"Shut up, tell me what you know if you don't want to die!" Anko Mitarashi pointed at him with a kunai: "What's the name of the mercenary organization you are in contact with? How many people are there and what is their purpose? Tell me!"
The middle-aged man turned pale: "Sister, you are a Konoha ninja, right? I advise you not to ask too much about that organization. Even if you know, you can't deal with them. They are all a group of… monsters."
"Monster?" Anko Mitarashi raised her eyebrows: "What kind of monsters have the ninjas of Konoha not seen! Tell me now! Otherwise, we will take you back to the dungeon of Konoha! You should have heard about the interrogation methods of our Konoha Anbu ninjas, right?"
The middle-aged man was immediately frightened: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, they are called Akatsuki, with a total of eleven members, all of whom are rebel ninjas from major ninja villages. That's all I know, spare my life, big sister."
"Akatsuki organization?" Anko Mitarashi nodded: "Aren't you going to meet them today? When will they come? My mission is to capture them back."
"Catch them?!" The middle-aged man begged for mercy: "Big sister, please spare me. You can't deal with those monsters at all. Not to mention you alone, even if there are ten of you, you are no match for them."
"Hey, you underestimate Konoha too much." Anko Mitarashi was very unhappy: "No matter what, our Konoha is the number one ninja village in the ninja world. We are the only one among the five major countries."
Before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man looked at the distance in horror: "Here…here…they are coming!"
