Ye Lan didn't say anything more, closing his eyes and waiting for the five people to take him away.
The others were irritated by Ye Lan's attitude. One of them sneered, "What a arrogant brat. We don't even know who he is, yet he dares to ignore us."
Ye Lan responded with a cold laugh.
He thought to himself, "Since they treat me as an enemy from the start, and put a knife to my neck, why should I be polite to them?!"
The leader of the Anbu squad waved his hand, signaling his teammates to stop talking.
He then said, "No matter who he is, he dared to intrude into Konoha at this time. We'll give him what he wants, and take him directly to the boss!"
The others nodded. Two of them quickly moved, and in the next moment, they had Ye Lan pinned between them.
Ye Lan didn't resist, allowing the two to grip his arms.
"Let's go!"
The squad leader barked a command, and Ye Lan was immediately lifted up by the two flanking him. They began to carry him in a specific direction.
Ye Lan glanced at the surrounding scenery, recognizing they were heading deeper into the village. He remained expressionless, letting them carry him.
Then, Ye Lan closed his eyes.
The squad leader, who was bringing up the rear, frowned at Ye Lan's expression and actions.
He had clearly sensed an extremely powerful Chakra fluctuation emanating from this kid on the way here. What made him wary was that he had only felt such a Chakra fluctuation on the Hokage and some exceptionally powerful Jonin.
This Chakra fluctuation clearly doesn't match a kid of this age.
The journey was silent…
Soon, Ye Lan was brought to a dark little room. He knew this room; it was Konoha's interrogation room, used for questioning prisoners.
"Tap… tap… tap…"
The door of the room slowly opened. Ye Lan looked up and saw a figure he knew very well.
The person who entered was none other than Ibiki, the head of Konoha's Interrogation Department. However, it wasn't unexpected for him to be here.
He thought it was actually a good thing that Ibiki came; it would save him a lot of trouble.
Just then, a system prompt suddenly appeared in Ye Lan's mind: "Ding!! Host triggered a hidden mission. Mission content: Gain Ibiki's trust. Mission completion reward—Obtain the advanced ninjutsu, Katon: Goryūka no Jutsu. Mission failure penalty—Deprivation of the system's basic COPY skill…"
Hearing this, Ye Lan's eyelids twitched. He thought the reward wasn't much, but the penalty was significant. With the COPY skill, not to mention Katon: Goryūka no Jutsu, he could probably even learn Susanoo.
Thinking of this, Ye Lan shook his head, thinking that this might be a test from the system itself.
"What's your name..."
A deep, clear baritone interrupted Ye Lan's thoughts.
Ye Lan looked up and sized up Ibiki. Scars crisscrossed Ibiki's not-so-handsome face, making him look rather intimidating under Ibiki's serious expression.
Ibiki is worthy of the Interrogation Department's leader position, just based on this appearance alone. Ye Lan thought to himself.
Then, Ye Lan replied to Ibiki without changing his expression, "My name is Ye Lan. You can call me Lan."
