Undercover at Your Place

Anko brought Orochimaru's subordinates back to Orochimaru's old residence.

The buildings here had not changed in all these years.

Because of Orochimaru's sensitive status and the many things that could not see the light of day, the place had remained vacant even after he defected.

So they were a cohabiting couple?

"HAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHA..."

Karin laughed so hard beside them that her mouth twisted. "Sister Anko, you've misunderstood. Haku is a boy."

Anko froze on the spot.

A boy!?

Wasn't Haku wearing women's clothes?

Such a cute boy?

Once Anko recovered from her shock, overwhelming embarrassment
