Three Choices

"Afraid?"

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Uchiha Yue suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. [Baidu Search | Free Download]

Undoubtedly, even though the person facing Uchiha Yue was Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, Uchiha Yue still showed no intention of giving up. Moreover, Uchiha Yue knew very well that even Inoichi Yamanaka, a master of interrogation, might not be able to extract the information he possessed. Therefore, the instant Jiraiya finished speaking, Uchiha Yue Jiraiya, "Lord Jiraiya, I Uchiha Yue, have never been afraid. Please begin!"

"Hahaha, as expected of Tsunade's apprentice, even her temper is exactly the same!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue arrived, Jiraiya smiled and Uchiha Yue to him, "Alright, Tsuki, I'll begin my interrogation now. When you came to apply for the Anbu, I told you I wouldn't go easy on you. So, I'll use my normal interrogation skills. Tsuki, don't blame me for eliminating you if you don't pass this test!"

Jiraiya then began forming hand Hand Seals, clearly preparing to use Genjutsu on Uchiha Yue.

However, as he watched Jiraiya Hand Seals in front of him, Uchiha Yue's eyes still shone with confidence.

Clearly, Uchiha Yue did not believe that Jiraiya's Genjutsu abilities would be enough to make him confess.

It's important to understand that Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, known as the Sannin, were indeed figures who could stand proudly at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World. However, none Jiraiya them were masters of Tsunade (Genjutsu). Orochimaru's Genjutsu skills were perhaps slightly better, while Orochimaru Jiraiya Tsunade's were only Genjutsu. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for Jiraiya to use Genjutsu to force a confession from Uchiha Yue, given the extraordinary mental energy he possessed.

Immediately afterwards...

After Jiraiya finished his Hand Seals, Uchiha Yue felt that Jiraiya was casting Genjutsu on him. Unfortunately, just as Uchiha Yue had thought, Jiraiya's mastery of Genjutsu was far from enough to make Uchiha Yue confess. In fact, Uchiha Yue didn't even need to use the power of his Sharingan its Three-Tomoe form to easily resist Jiraiya's Genjutsu.

If Uchiha Yue were to awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan now, he could very likely deflect Jiraiya's Genjutsu directly. However, Uchiha Yue couldn't let Jiraiya front of him. If Uchiha Yue truly deflected Jiraiya's Genjutsu, Jiraiya would inevitably harbor resentment. Therefore, Uchiha Yue Jiraiya used his own spiritual energy to resist Genjutsu used by Jiraiya, without resorting to excessive resistance.

But to everyone's surprise, Uchiha Yue's calm expression ignited Jiraiya's competitive spirit.

Long ago, Jiraiya had heard from Tsunade that Uchiha Yue's Genjutsu skills were quite impressive. Now, realizing that Uchiha Yue was able to resist his Genjutsu without any resistance, Jiraiya wanted to test Uchiha Yue's Genjutsu skills Jiraiya. Subsequently, Jiraiya increased his Chakra output, preparing to see just how good Uchiha Yue's interrogation abilities were.

Then, when Jiraiya used Genjutsu to the fullest extent to interrogate Uchiha Yue, Jiraiya finally received an answer that shocked even himself. In Jiraiya's opinion, without the interrogation skills of Inoichi Yamanaka, it would be completely impossible to get a single word out of Uchiha Yue. In fact, Jiraiya secretly assumed that even Inoichi Yamanaka would need a very long time to interrogate Uchiha Yue, because Uchiha Yue's performance was simply too astonishing.

Then, seeing that Uchiha Yue remained unmoved, Jiraiya finally withdrew his Genjutsu.

At the same time, sensing that Jiraiya had given up interrogating him, Uchiha Yue smiled slightly and asked, "Lord Jiraiya, did I pass the test?"

"You brat, you're getting the benefit and you're still acting innocent!"

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Jiraiya and scolded, "Alright, Yue, your performance was excellent. You've passed this round of Anbu selection tests. I think you must have undergone systematic training with Tsunade and already mastered the skills to become Anbu, right? So, Yue, you don't need to participate in the next tests. After all, you've already passed the most difficult tests; having you participate in the later ones would just be a waste of your time."

"But..."

Jiraiya paused slightly, then continued, "However, Yue, now that you've successfully been elected to the Anbu, there are some things I should tell you. After you become Anbu, you can't serve Tsunade. So, you only have three choices: serve me, serve Orochimaru, or serve Sarutobi- Teacher Sarutobi. What do you plan to choose, Yue?"

"Um?"

Jiraiya finished speaking, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly and asked, "Lord Jiraiya, why can't I serve my master?"

"Yue, you're a smart person, there are some things I don't need to explain, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Tsuki, someone wants to send you to serve them directly after you succeed in the Anbu election. However, for your sake, Teacher Sarutobi has provided you with several options, so you don't have to serve that person. However, as a condition for choosing, you lose the possibility of serving Tsunade. After all, Tsunade is your teacher, and she also needs to avoid any appearance of impropriety, do you understand?"

"Understood, Lord Jiraiya."

Undoubtedly, the person Shimura Danzō Jiraiya, whom Uchiha Yue had once met.

The Third Hokage made a deal with Shimura Danzō, allowing Uchiha Yue to choose to serve either the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, or Orochimaru, but not Tsunade. After a moment's thought, Jiraiya Uchiha Yue looked at Tsunade and asked with a smile, "Lord Jiraiya, would you blame me if I didn't choose to serve you?"

"Won't."

As if he had already guessed Uchiha Yue's choice, Jiraiya's smile remained unchanged. He said with a smile, "Alright, I already guessed where you would serve. I just didn't expect you to have no hesitation at all. It really breaks my heart! Minato and Kushina were hoping that you would serve me, so you could go on missions together in the future. But Yue, since you have made your choice, then serve him well."

"I hope that after you become Anbu, you will be able to contribute even more to the village!"
