Anbu Training
"Yes, I understand, Lord Jiraiya. (Fastest updates {})"
Looking at Jiraiya's natural expression, Uchiha Yue smiled, inwardly admiring Jiraiya's composure.
If Orochimaru or Tsunade were in front of Uchiha Yue, Orochimaru Uchiha Yue Tsunade are particularly Orochimaru people. If he refused them outright, Tsunade might not say anything, but they would definitely harbor resentment.
However, in Uchiha Yue's observation, Jiraiya's expression was perfectly natural, without the slightest hint of pretense. In other words, Jiraiya didn't seem to care at all that Uchiha Yue wasn't serving under him. Moreover, Jiraiya could also understand Uchiha Yue's thoughts; clearly, Uchiha Yue had considered things before choosing to serve under that person.
As for Uchiha Yue, after becoming Anbu, the person he would serve was Orochimaru, who was also one of the Sannin.
In Uchiha Yue's view, since he couldn't choose to serve Tsunade and had to choose between Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the Third Hokage, becoming an Anbu member under Orochimaru was undoubtedly the best option. Under Orochimaru, Uchiha Yue could gain valuable experience. Furthermore, Orochimaru and Uchiha Yue shared similar philosophies, Uchiha Yue would be highly valued and wouldn't have to worry about anyone causing Orochimaru.
However, if Uchiha Yue had served under Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, who were always by Jiraiya's side, would certainly have helped him avoid many dangers. This would have significantly reduced his opportunities for Uchiha Yue, forcing him to spend long periods in Konoha, much like he did with Tsunade. Without such training, his growth would have Orochimaru Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue Jiraiya.
As for serving the Third Hokage, Uchiha Yue also had considerable reservations.
After all, Uchiha Yue and the Third Hokage had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other, making it impossible for Uchiha Yue to choose to serve the Third Hokage.
After Uchiha Yue finished choosing who he would serve, Jiraiya didn't say much to him, only telling him to get some rest. Clearly, Jiraiya still needed to work on the Anbu selection process, as many others besides Uchiha Yue n't yet completed their Anbu elections. And after Jiraiya left, Uchiha Yue's Uchiha Yue also focused on the upcoming Anbu selections.
Moreover, even if Uchiha Yue was unwilling to admit it, the only person he truly cared about was that one.
That person was Hyuga Anya Uchiha Yue knew very well.
However, Hyuga Anya truly lived up to her reputation as a rising elite of the Hyuga Clan. If Uchiha Yue hadn't come to compete for the Anbu, she would likely have become the youngest Anbu. In the subsequent Anbu selection tests, Hyuga Anya encountered almost no difficulty. From this, Uchiha Yue could also see that Hyuga Anya had come prepared for the Anbu selection. Otherwise, Hyuga Anya wouldn't have been able to stand out so easily in the later tests and successfully become Anbu just like Uchiha Yue.
Immediately afterwards...
After all the successful candidates for the Anbu were selected, Uchiha Yue and the others, who had been elected, followed Jiraiya ahead to receive their Anbu uniforms. After receiving their uniforms, Uchiha Yue and Hyuga Anya, among others, would need to undergo Anbu training. However, just as Uchiha Yue was about to head to the training location Anbu Hyuga Anya and the others to complete Anbu training, Orochimaru unexpectedly appeared before Uchiha Yue.
At this moment, Orochimaru appeared without warning. Neither Uchiha Yue Hyuga Anya Orochimaru noticed his presence. It seemed that Orochimaru only alerted Uchiha Yue, then waved to Orochimaru, indicating that he didn't need to participate in the Anbu training and could simply leave with him.
Sensing Orochimaru's signal, Uchiha Yue greeted Jiraiya before approaching Orochimaru, kneeling and saying, "Uchiha Yue greets Lord Orochimaru."
"Yue, there's no need to be so reserved."
Back on the front lines in the Land of Fire, Orochimaru had greatly admired Uchiha Yue. So, seeing Uchiha Yue kneeling before him, Orochimaru smiled and nodded, saying, "Tsuki, you should have heard everything you need to know from Jiraiya. Now, you don't need to go with them to the Anbu training; I'll train you myself. However, Tsuki, before you begin your Anbu training, I have a question for you."
"So, are you really ready to become an Anbu?"
"You should know that even if you are Tsunade's disciple, I will not show you any mercy when you are on a mission."
"Lord Orochimaru, I'm ready."
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll trouble Lord Orochimaru to train me in the Anbu from now on."
"Yes, not bad, I didn't misjudge you, Yue."
Upon receiving Uchiha Yue's reply, Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Yue, I'm giving you ten days of rest. After ten days, come report to me, and I'll begin training you to become Anbu. Remember, to become a true Anbu, you need to hone your skills through missions. So, before you come here, prepare everything you need for your missions. If you're not adequately prepared, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue replied solemnly, and Orochimaru immediately waved his hand, telling Uchiha Yue to go back and prepare properly.
Then, after Orochimaru disappeared from Uchiha Yue's sight, Uchiha Yue prepared to return to Tsunade's residence to properly arrange his joining the Anbu. Moreover, within the next ten days, Uchiha Yue also planned to go to the Doomsday Forest. There, Uchiha Yue intended to study the strange crystals hidden inside the Piranha, to see if those crystals, which could help Hyuga Clan ninjas train, could help him cultivate his Purple Eye.
Soon after Uchiha Yue finished thinking about what he needed to do within ten days, he arrived at Tsunade's residence.
However, to Uchiha Yue's Uchiha Yue, Tsunade was already waiting for him at Tsunade's residence when he returned.
Moreover, upon seeing Uchiha Yue's return, Tsunade's gaze became very solemn, and she said seriously, "Yue, are you really going to serve Orochimaru?"
