"Then who else is on my squad?!"
Kurenai asked.
Since there was going to be a squad, surely there were other members, too?!
Bai Ye couldn't possibly be assigning her just one student, could he?
Surely not. She and Bai Ye were on pretty good terms.
At the very least, they had spent some time on the same team during the Third Shinobi World War.
Compared with the others, she knew Bai Ye a little better.
"One is Sai. He used to belong to Root, but you know what happened there. After Danzo died, I disbanded Root.
By now, most of its members have been placed elsewhere. I think he has a lot of potential, so I decided to assign him to your squad.
The other is Xiangling from Kusagakure. I'll bring her back after this war.
She'll be assigned directly to your team then. She's from the Uzumaki Clan.
She'll probably study Medical Ninjutsu under Tsunade, too, so just focus on teaching Yakumo.
Both Sai and Karin Uzumaki have their own paths to follow, and neither is particularly similar to yours!"
After Bai Ye finished, Kurenai Yuhi's lips couldn't help twitching.
I don't think I have any bad blood with Bai Ye, do I?!
Unbelievable!!!
Absolutely unbelievable!!!
Why does this feel like I've offended him somehow?!
His arrangements for everyone else were reasonable enough.
But when he got to her, everything took a bizarre turn.
Root was one thing.
After all, although Root had been one of Konoha's darker organizations under Danzo,
that didn't mean the organization was completely worthless.
Besides, ninja themselves walked in the shadows.
Even they couldn't claim or guarantee that they truly belonged to the light, could they?!
That was obviously impossible!
At most, they did less dirty work than Root.
But not much less.
