"Yoru, so which path should I focus on for my ninjutsu?"

At this moment, Anko seemed to have opened up a line of thought, chattering excitedly and bouncing around in front of him. Especially the way her chest, which was just beginning to develop, swayed with her movements, made Uchiha Yoru's eyes dazzle.

"Do I even need to ask? With Teacher Orochimaru around, you should naturally follow his path and learn all the Snake Ninjutsu first."

Uchiha Yoru said with a firm expression. Orochimaru didn't have much time left before he would betray and flee. This was the best time to learn as much ninjutsu as possible, or there would be no more chances in the future.

"By the way, Anko, your ninjutsu shouldn't be too monotonous. You have Fire Nature Chakra, right? The C-rank Dragon Fire Technique is just right for you. It has a wide range and complements your Snake Ninjutsu perfectly."

Uchiha Yoru spoke with a look of genuine concern, and Anko couldn't help but blush slightly, smiling and saying, "Since you're so dedicated, you don't have to pay back the 200,000."

Hearing that he didn't have to pay back the money, Uchiha Yoru's face lit up with excitement. He was in dire need of money, and even with two sources of income, he was still short.

Brother Hao was right; what the hell is love? All I want is money! Money! Money!

However, just as he finished speaking, Anko frowned and looked down at her chest. She seemed to remember the last time, and a wave of anger rose to her youthful, innocent face.

"Uchiha Yoru! No way! You have to pay back the 200,000! Not a single coin less!"

The C-rank Fire Release technique 'Dragon Fire Technique' requires Chakra to gather in the chest. When the technique is cast, it looks as if the user has taken a deep breath, causing the chest to swell. Especially for female ninjas, this makes everything in front of them visible.

Anko's eyes widened with anger as she stared at Uchiha Yoru. How could someone from the Uchiha clan be like this?

Seeing Anko's reaction, Uchiha Yoru naturally wouldn't deny the technique that could measure her chest size. Instead, he looked puzzled and asked, "Anko, what's wrong? You were fine just a moment ago."

Uchiha Yoru's puzzled gaze made Anko, who was already angry, huff and think to herself. Could she have been wrong? After all, everyone knew that Uchiha Yoru was only interested in money, a complete miser. He couldn't possibly be a lecherous old man like Jiraiya.

However, apologizing wasn't in her nature. Anko huffed and said with a sulky expression, "Teacher Orochimaru hasn't taught me in a long time."

Uchiha Yoru, who was eager to change the subject, naturally wouldn't return to the previous topic. He shook his head and sighed, "Anko, Teacher Orochimaru has been secretly carrying out the village's confidential missions. You need to understand that."

He was about to create a persona, a reasonable persona for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had been executing the village's confidential missions on the front lines, a reason that could explain his mysterious comings and goings. As for the other purpose! Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but sneer. When the time came, he would drag the entire border ninja force into it.

Orochimaru's betrayal was inevitable, but it couldn't be as pathetic as in the original story, where he fled Konoha in disgrace and became a universally despised figure.

He was, after all, Orochimaru's disciple. How could he stand by and watch his teacher flee in such a disgraceful manner? As a disciple, he had to do something, at least make his teacher's escape controversial, which would also strike a blow to the village and create unrest.

In short, if the village was uncomfortable, the Uchiha clan would be better off.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru smiled. He was doing this for his family and the village. He absolutely wouldn't admit that it was for his own selfish reasons. Yes! Absolutely not.

"Alright, alright, Anko, let me check your body first to see if you have any hidden injuries. If you leave any hidden injuries, it will affect your future development."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru had no other intentions. He genuinely wanted to help. However, as he extended his hand, Anko's eyes widened.

"You! Uchiha Yoru, what are you trying to do?"

Seeing Anko's suspicious gaze again, Uchiha Yoru felt frustrated. He really had no other intentions. How could she look down on him so much?

To prove his innocence, he quickly demonstrated a medical ninjutsu with his extended hand.

When Anko saw Uchiha Yoru's hands glow with a green, life-giving Chakra, she was shocked and exclaimed, "A-rank medical ninjutsu, the Healing Hands Technique! You! When did you learn this?"

It was no wonder she was shocked. While medical ninjas might not be strong in combat, they were a scarce resource, especially those who could master the A-rank medical ninjutsu, the Healing Hands Technique. During the war, Konoha had a rule that any medical ninja who mastered the Healing Hands Technique could be promoted to Special Jōnin as an exception.

This showed how rare and valuable medical ninjas were, especially high-level ones, who were scarce throughout the ninja world.

Seeing Anko's shocked expression, he shrugged and sighed, "Anko, some things you should keep as a secret. Don't tell anyone."

His hands, glowing with the green, life-giving Chakra of the medical ninjutsu, gently touched Anko's youthful and vibrant body. This time, Anko didn't resist and even lay down on the soft grass, cooperating fully.

But the shock in her eyes couldn't be erased. Anko's black eyes stared intently at him, her mind racing with analysis.

The Uchiha clan! Awakened Sharingan! Without saying anything, he had become Orochimaru's student, and then his disciple.

After all the thoughts flashed through her mind, Anko pondered further. She naturally knew the recent situation of the Uchiha clan and that her teacher Orochimaru was now a sought-after figure by all the major clans.

After all, the Fourth Hokage had died in battle, and with the current unrest on the border, her teacher Orochimaru's presence had kept the Lightning and Water countries from making any major moves.

Not only the village, but even on the front lines, there were calls for Orochimaru to become the Fifth Hokage.

After all, a year ago, during the competition for the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru was a strong contender. In the end, Minato Namikaze was chosen, and to ease the awkward situation, Orochimaru was sent to the border. This was also the reason why Orochimaru wasn't in the village during the Nine-Tails' attack.

This time, Orochimaru had almost no competitors. The only ones in Konoha qualified to compete for the position of Hokage were the Three Sages.

But Jiraiya was traveling abroad and not in the village. While he might be a powerful ninja, he wasn't a suitable leader and had the lowest popularity among the Three Sages.

The most popular was Tsunade, but she had left the village, leaving only Orochimaru.

After a moment of analysis, Anko smiled at Uchiha Yoru, "Is this for your clan?"

Seeing Anko's innocent smile, Uchiha Yoru smiled without a word but nodded slightly.

Anko's genuine smile widened after getting her answer. Indeed, as she had analyzed, Yoru represented the Uchiha clan. No wonder her teacher had taken him as a disciple. His medical ninjutsu was likely a hidden strength.

At this moment, Anko finally understood why her teacher had taken him as a disciple. His Uchiha clan identity and talent were enough.
