In the evening.

Anko and Inuzuka Oda came to Kuroto’s room to visit him. ​​

After chatting for a while, Oda suddenly smiled and said, “Kuroto-kun, this time you are got a little unlucky because of being sick.”

Kuroto was a little confused as to why would Oda say something like that so he asked: “Why?”

Oda explained: “The captain just assigned a special task for Anko-chan me. If it can be successfully completed, maybe we can be transferred back to the village, then I won’t have to endure the sandstorm here again!”

“A Special mission you say!?” Kuroto was really startled by the information he just received, but he didn’t show it in his expression and simply wished Oda and Anko good luck: “I wish you success in your mission.”

For some reason, there was a bad premonition in Kuroto’s heart after hearing about the Special Task, but as per the code of conduct of Shinobi’s he can’t inquire about the details of the task, so even if he had his suspicions he chooses to remain silent, because if it exactly the case he thinks it is; then it would probably be useless to express his opinion.

Finally, Oda patted Kuroto’s shoulder and said with a grin: “Don’t worry, the village will not forget us excellent ninjas who have experienced wars. It will not be long before you will be transferred back to the village. Now you can rest assured. So focus on recovery for now.”

Kuroto had his doubts about whether that is really the case asked, he didn’t have any proof only doubts so all he could say was: “Be careful on the Task!”

After chatting about a few more topics, Oda and Anko left Kuroto’s room and went to go on their task.

In an instant, three days passed.

In this adaption period, Kuroto constantly went through, many dizziness and tingling torture sessions, but this torture was also not without any benefit, because it leads to growth in Chakra and body strength.

Although he hasn’t accurately tested it yet, however, Kuroto can estimate that the amount of Chakra in his body at this time is approximately ten-times than before injecting the gene activation serum.

There are no standards for the classification of ninjas. The standards of the Genin, Chunin, Jonin, Quasi-Kage, and even Kage will change according to different environments and eras.

For example Hyuga Kuroto himself, before the injecting Gene activation serum he was actually a shinobi with the strength of just a senior genin, after all except the most basic three-body technique, and standard Hyuga soft-boxing, he hardly knows any other useful techniques.

But even so, he was promoted to the rank of a Chunin by the village and led the team to perform several tasks and investigation missions.

But in any case, a vague and universally recognized criterion still exists:

· A ninja who can perform E-level ninjutsu, or can use his own blood succession limit, is qualified for being classified as a Genin.

· A ninja that can perform C-level ninjutsu multiple times can be regarded as a Chunin.

· A ninja that can perform B-level multiple times, and be proficient in more than just one combat art including ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, or proficient in kekkai genkai techniques will be regarded as a Jonin.

· And Kage tier is vaguer than any other rank. The best method would be to pick out one of the strongest ninjas in the village. Therefore, the concept of Kage level strength is different in different eras.

Since such vague means can not give a solid idea; therefore the Chakra volume has become one of the important bases for judging the strength of a ninja.

Because of this, the Chakra volume has become one of the important basis for judging the strength of a ninja.

Although Kuroto’s current strength is probably that of a senior genin, his Chakra Volume has already surpassed that of a low-level chunin, and is quickly racing towards the standard of a normal chunin.

During three days of adaptation, Kuroto was barely able to use his eyes.

Through careful observation, he found that his eyes became like azure color crystal gem, shining with breathtaking brilliance, and people couldn’t help but be immersed in it and hard to extricate themselves.

At the same time, he found that the ‘caged bird’ seal on his forehead still existed, but it seemed to have lost its effectiveness.

Of course, the bird in the cage targets Byakugan and all the brain nerves that connect Byakugan. Now, the dojotsu in the Kuroto’s eye sockets are no longer Byakugan but the legendary Tenseigan. Therefore, although the seal of the ‘cage bird’ has not been destroyed, it has still been solved and won’t have much effect on him.

The adaption period of the Tenseigan lasted as per Kuroto’s prediction. And not long after he was able to see familiar chakra that was quickly approaching the outpost.

Without thinking about it, Kuroto hurriedly leaned on the wall and walked out of his room.

After a while, a thin figure rushed into the outpost.

This figure is no one else other than, Mitarashi Anko who went out with Oda a few days ago on a special mission!

At this time, Anko’s complexion was extremely bad, her face was almost bloodless, her body was covered with various scars, her breath was also very disordered, and she seemed to have experienced several life and death battles.

Relying on the vigilance that was tempered in the war, when Kuroto judged that the person was Anko, he had already stretched his hand into the ninja bag around his waist and took out a kunai, Tenseigan under the goggles was also blooming magnificently; he searched for any possible trail that might be following Anko.

However, after only a slight scan, Kuroto found that there were no trails following Anko, so he was relieved and finally relaxed his guard.

At this time, the other ninjas in the post also surrounded them, either bandaging Anko’s wounds or asking about the details of the attack on her.

Kuroto, who was on guard on the side, relied on the incomparable insight of the Tenseigan to notice that when the team leader Nara Mitsui next to him saw the Anko, a strange expression flashed across his face. The expression seemed to reflect as if things didn’t go as they should have.

At this very moment, the doubt within Kuroto’s heart was confirmed.

In fact, he had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but he still wanted to deny it even if was quite sure about his guess.

But now that his doubt has been confirmed he has to stay on guard against the Squad leader and team captain Nara Mitsui…

On the other hand, Nara Mitsui’s attention was on Anko so he didn’t notice Kuroto’s abnormality and the change in Kuroto’s guard against him.

“Is the task completed?” Mitsui calmly asked Anko.

Anko replied Mitsui coldly: “We were ambushed as soon as we arrived at the location of the mission. It was a trap. Oda died on the spot. I managed to escape back after hiding in the desert for two days!”

When Mitsui heard this, his face was a little unnatural: “Maybe the spy we placed among the sand ninja was exposed, so you were ambushed, I will report it to the village.”

After saying just that, Mitsui hurriedly left, and Kuroto didn’t say anything, just silently lifted the Anko.

As soon as they entered Anko’s room, she suddenly asked Kuroto: “Are we abandoned by the village?”

Anko is obviously not stupid to be accepted by Orochimaru as a disciple. These so-called special missions this time are full of loopholes, and she naturally noticed it.

Kuroto helped the Anko dress the wound, and said, “Don’t think too much about it, it is common for things to go wrong during the tasks, and you are still less experienced, so don’t worry too much, just focus on recovering for now.” Kuroto knew he wasn’t fooling anyone but that’s all he could say to comfort her.

Hearing Kuroto’s words Anko said nothing, and her face returned to the same numb expression she had most of the time during their assignment on this guard post.

After dealing with Anko’s injury and reconfirming that no enemy approached the post, Kuroto returned to his room.

As soon as he lay on the bed, his expression became gloomy, he grits his teeth with all his strength and mumbled in frustration.

“How can they do this with us? How dare they treat us as such?”
