Don't Leave After School If You've Got Guts

Anko's sudden words interrupted their conversation.

Guren had already noticed the little girl Orochimaru had brought, and upon hearing the voice, she looked towards Anko.

"Sir, who is this young lady?"

Guren automatically put herself in the role of the eldest sister, and in fact, that was indeed the case.

However, Anko was unhappy again, and her little mouth pouted reluctantly.

"I am Anko, the teacher's disciple! Who are you?"

Anko puffed out her chest, raised her chin slightly, and smiled smugly, very proud of her identity.

Guren was slightly taken aback when she heard this; when did Orochimaru take on another disciple?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Orochimaru, her big eyes blinking as she met Orochimaru's interested gaze, her face full of confusion.

However, after watching for a while, she seemed to have thought of something, and immediately blurted out a sentence.

"Sir, you were there that day...!"

Before she could finish speaking, Orochimaru nodded, interrupting her.

When Orochimaru took her as his disciple last time, he created a Mirror Clone, and he didn't hide this from her.

However, the clone returned to Konoha after taking care of the original body for two or three days, and it was the original body that stayed with her for the past two years.

To be able to think of these things so quickly, your little brain is quite clever.

After considering Anko as Orochimaru's new disciple, Guren felt more at ease, and a sense of pride arose within her.

"Hello! I'm your senior sister, Guren! Please take care of me!"

As she spoke, Guren generously extended her small hand, showing no affectation whatsoever for a senior sister.

Upon hearing Guren's words, this time it was Anko's turn to lose her composure. She looked at Orochimaru and then at Anko again.

Seeing that both of them were smiling, Anko looked at Orochimaru with even more resentment.

But what could she do? Konoha was doomed, so she could only glare fiercely at Guren.

It was all because of this woman who stole her position as the senior sister.

Even though one doesn't hit a smiling face, Anko still shook hands with Guren.

The two looked rather formal; someone unfamiliar with the situation might mistake them for Hashirama and Uchiha Madara shaking hands and making peace.

"She will be your senior sister from now on. You two should learn from each other. Guren, you should take good care of Anko."

Having satisfied his perverse sense of humor, Orochimaru ruffled the heads of the two of them.

It wasn't that Orochimaru was biased in taking Guren as his disciple first; he simply didn't have as many concerns when he wanted to start his own business.

While in Konoha, it was still uncertain whether to take Anko with them, and the eldest disciple had to uphold Orochimaru's reputation.

Just like Jiraiya's disciple Minato, Tsunade's disciple Shizune.

There has to be someone who can hold the fort, but as for Uchiha Sasuke, that's still a long way off.

In the following days, Orochimaru tidied up the new laboratory while planning the construction of Northern Land Village.

Fortunately, Danzo wasn't here, otherwise he would definitely be telling everyone that Orochimaru has gone mad and wants to establish a ninja village!

If there aren't enough people, we'll split up and fill in the gaps.

Orochimaru created many clones, and the construction of the village needed to be supervised. Although he didn't need to personally participate, it didn't prevent him from personally supervising.

The Ninja Academy also needs substitute teachers, who can also serve as principals.

Only when children have books to read can residents work with peace of mind; no matter how hard life is, the children shouldn't suffer.

These are the hopes of parents, and also the hopes of the Northern Lands.

With good education and a warm home, residents won't rebel. If they're well-fed and watered, who would rebel against you?

Of course, Orochimaru always wore a mask when he did these things; he is now Rogue Ninja of Konoha.

Moreover, there can only be one leader in the Northern Lands. Establishing prestige is something that should be left to the person in charge. When the mask is removed, it will surely be the one everyone wants.

Anko was also temporarily assigned to be a teacher at the Ninja Academy, and was not to be given important responsibilities until enough people had been recruited.

Besides, with her Chunin level strength, what could she possibly do? She's not even as good as one of Orochimaru's Energy Clone.

It's worth mentioning that ever since Anko met Guren, the two have been secretly competing with each other.

He carried out every task assigned by Orochimaru meticulously, not to the point of perfection, but at least to Orochimaru's satisfaction.

The two are now competing to see who can get more praise from Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was quite happy to see such healthy competition; competition brings pressure, and pressure drives progress.

"Don't leave after school if you dare!"

That day, as soon as Anko arrived at the Ninja Academy's office, she said this to Guren.

"Tch! You think you can scare me?!"

Guren has begun to get used to her provocations, and the two have been secretly competing with each other these days.

Whether it's teaching, conducting experiments, or daily practice, etc.

The result was naturally a mix of wins and losses. In terms of teaching, Guren had started earlier and had more experience than Anko.

But in the laboratory, Anko are even better; all those years of hard work and dedication haven't been in vain.

Orochimaru didn't hide anything and would urge them to train in his spare time.

He refused to believe that the two of them couldn't become successful under his guidance—no, under his patient instruction!

When school was over, Anko was already waiting for her at the school's training ground.

Guren showed no fear upon seeing this and walked straight towards her.

This scene was witnessed by Orochimaru in the school office.

This is just a clone, whose daily tasks are listening to reports from subordinates and carrying out the work of the Ninja Academy.

He did get to play the role of a school principal, which is one of the advantages of being your own boss.

"Youth is wonderful! Full of vitality!"

Orochimaru looked at the two below with boredom; they had been training with him for some time now.

Moreover, they had all received the Earth Curse Mark not long ago, and the only thing they lacked was practical combat experience.

Previously, neither of them had a good opponent to hone their skills, and Orochimaru was too lazy to spar with them personally. The difference in their strength was simply too great. Now, at least they have a companion.

"I'll see if you're qualified to be my master's top disciple!"

Anko rubbed his hands together, cracking his knuckles as if eager to try.

Today, she, Anko, will prove that she is the teacher's most valued disciple!

"Heh heh...! Have you ever killed anyone? Have you ever seen a dead body? Come on, let's fight one-on-one!"

Guren charged forward without showing any weakness, simultaneously Hand Seals, and several red crystal Kunai of thin air, shooting towards Anko.

Faced with the sudden attack, Anko nimbly jumped back to avoid it.

At the same time, she slammed her fist into the ground, and the next moment a boulder the size of her body was lifted up, and the flying Kunai clang.

At that moment, Guren lunged forward, her little fists swiftly striking Anko's face.

This time, Anko did not back down from the Taijutsu attack and met it head-on with her fist clenched.

Although her Ninjutsu is not very good, her stamina has been extraordinary since childhood. She is never afraid of Taijutsu!

"Bang bang bang!"

The two exchanged blows quickly, and in an instant they were locked in combat.

Orochimaru smiled as he watched the two fighting back and forth below.

Even though it's just a bunch of noobs pecking at each other, it's still better than pulling hair, tearing clothes, and scratching faces.

Orochimaru watched this scene from upstairs, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.

Just as he was thinking about how to guide the two in their next cultivation, a tremor came from his soul.
