"How about I work for you from now on?"
"After the second exam, I don't have any important plans."
"If you need more people, I can be your right-hand man."
Zhang Yu looked at the Anko in front of him.
She is still very young.
She had a slender figure and her face showed no signs of the later weight gain.
His personality, however, hasn't changed much.
direct.
lively.
Say whatever comes to mind.
You're asking too many questions.
Zhang Yu extended his hand.
Give me the scroll first.
Anko blinked.
"Reel?"
"Isn't the reason I came here to collect my assessment scroll?"
Zhang Yu glanced at the empty desktop.
Don't tell me the last one has already been sent out.
Of course not.
Anko, with her hands behind her back, took a step back.
Your scroll is in the tent.
"If you want it, find it yourself."
Zhang Yu glanced around.
It's not on the table.
There's nothing under the chair.
There was nowhere to hide anything inside the tent.
Anko couldn't help but laugh as she watched his actions.
Just a heads-up.
"What you want is the Heaven Scroll."
"And the scroll is on me."
Zhang Yu turned to look at her.
A hint of cunning glint appeared in Anko's eyes.
He understood immediately.
This woman didn't forget to send the scroll.
She was deliberately trying to test him.
Zhang Yu was suddenly appointed as the chief person in charge of the Chunin Ninja Exams, and all Jonin had to obey his orders.
Anko readily agreed on the surface, but she was somewhat resentful inside.
She also developed feelings for Zhang Yu.
That's why he wanted to take the opportunity of distributing the scrolls to personally test his strength.
If Zhang Yu relies solely on his status to intimidate people, her attitude will naturally change in the future.
If Zhang Yu is strong enough and of good character, she would be willing to cooperate.
Seeing that he hadn't moved, Anko asked, "What's wrong?"
"Surely the person in charge can't even get a single scroll?"
"If that's the case, you'll be eliminated in the second round of assessment."
Zhang Yu took a step closer to her.
Are you sure you want me to get it myself?
"Sure."
Anko raised her chin.
"But let's make this clear first."
" Ninjutsu is not allowed."
"He snatched the scroll solely through Taijutsu."
Zhang Yu asked, "Does Genjutsu magic count Ninjutsu?"
Anko thought for a moment.
"Of course."
"Then let's not use Ninjutsu."
Zhang Yu agreed quickly.
Anko, on the contrary, became wary.
She took a half step back, her hands already raised in front of her.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
"Let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yu looked up at her.
Illusionary Genjutsu without Hand Seals.
The Bringer-of-Darkness Technique.
Anko's movements stopped abruptly.
Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground.
Keep your arms raised.
My shoulders, waist, and fingers were all out of control.
Apart from her eyes and mouth, she couldn't move an inch.
The smile on Anko's face froze instantly.
"What's this?"
" Genjutsu."
Zhang Yu walked towards her.
Anko's eyes widened.
"We agreed that no Ninjutsu was allowed!"
"I promised not to use Ninjutsu."
Zhang Yu stopped in front of her.
" Genjutsu is not Ninjutsu."
Anko couldn't find a rebuttal for a moment.
She only felt a blur before her eyes, and then her body was completely controlled.
No Hand Seals.
There was no obvious fluctuation in Chakra.
She was not given any chance to break the Genjutsu.
She's Special Jōnin.
Even if one's specialty isn't Genjutsu, they shouldn't lose the ability to fight back in a single encounter.
This gap can no longer be measured by the standards of an ordinary Jonin.
Even elite Jonin couldn't do that.
Anko finally understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi had handed over the position of head to Zhang Yu.
The opponent was far stronger than she had anticipated.
Looking back, those casual questions and probes seem rather rash.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
Anko's voice became much quieter.
"I was just joking with you."
You're not angry, are you?
"Now you're scared?"
Zhang Yu approached her, his gaze falling on the Heaven Scroll in her arms.
Anko wanted to back away.
But my body wouldn't obey me.
"The scroll is available for you."
"Please dispel the Genjutsu for me first."
"No rush."
Zhang Yu reached inside her outer garment and took out the Heaven Scroll from her bosom.
Anko could only watch helplessly.
Only after the scroll was removed did she realize that her face was burning.
Zhang Yu took a step back and checked the word "" on the scroll.
"You didn't take the wrong one."
Anko quickly asked, "What about the Genjutsu?"
"Automatically deactivated in two minutes."
Two minutes?
"This is a small punishment for your disrespect towards your superior earlier."
Zhang Yu lifted the scroll and gently tapped her forehead.
Thump.
Anko gasped softly involuntarily.
"Pain."
"You call this pain?"
Zhang Yu knocked again.
"Ah."
Anko's cheeks flushed, and her mind became a mess.
She was still debating whether or not to confess her feelings while they were alone.
But when the time actually came, she felt it was too abrupt and could only hurriedly suppress the thoughts in her heart.
Seeing Anko's flushed face, Zhang Yu deliberately didn't leave immediately.
"Weren't you being quite bold just now?"
Why won't you even look at me now?
Anko's eyes darted away.
Her body was still frozen in place by the Genjutsu, and she could only turn her gaze to the side.
"Who's afraid to look at you?"
"Then look at me."
Zhang Yu took a step forward.
There was less than half a meter between the two.
When Anko smelled his scent, her heart beat even faster.
She had just mustered the courage to turn her gaze when she met Zhang Yu's eyes.
The thought from before resurfaced.
Should we just say it directly?
There was no one else in the tent anyway.
If she just asked, she could at least find out if Zhang Yu had any feelings for her.
But she and Zhang Yu had only met twice.
It's too early to say all this now.
If you get rejected, it will be awkward to go to the Undead Tavern again.
The more Anko thought about it, the more confused she became, and she looked away again.
Seeing her reaction, Zhang Yu smiled and asked, "Why are you looking away like that? What are you hoping for?"
I have no expectations!
Anko immediately retorted.
"Real?"
"Real!"
"Then why are you blushing?"
It's too hot inside the tent.
" Yugao just said the exam room was too hot."
Zhang Yu looked her up and down.
"Do all the female ninjas in Konoha like to use the weather as an excuse?"
Anko was speechless when asked the question.
She simply closed her eyes.
Perhaps I can find some peace of mind if I can't see Zhang Yu.
But when she closed her eyes, the image of Zhang Yu approaching her and taking the scroll from his bosom became even clearer.
Anko could only repeatedly tell herself this in her heart.
calm.
It's not possible to say now.
We should at least have a few more meetings.
Zhang Yu waited for a while, but seeing that she still wouldn't open her eyes, he decided not to tease her any further.
"Alright."
"You can stay standing."
"I'll go take the exam first."
Footsteps sounded in front of me.
Anko suddenly opened her eyes.
Zhang Yu had already turned around and was walking towards the tent entrance.
She felt a surge of anxiety.
If we let him leave like this, who knows when we'll be able to meet alone again.
"Wait a moment!"
