The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next few days.

"Lord Orochimaru, please accept me as your disciple!"

Hongdou's voice was unusually clear in the empty corridor. Orochimaru's steps froze in mid-air, and he turned his head and looked at her calmly.

Hongdou didn't raise her head, still bowed, but the face buried in her chest was more firm than ever before.

"Why do you want to be my disciple?"

Orochimaru looked Hongdou up and down with a playful smile.

...

"Hongdou..."

In the ward, almost everyone was shocked by this sudden scene.

Uchiha Rin's eyes were filled with surprise. That was Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas. Who would have thought that Hongdou, a timid girl, would have such courage?

But why did she have to become Orochimaru's disciple?

Aburame Zhiwei sighed. He had also noticed Hongdou's recent changes, but he didn't expect her to have such courage.

However, he didn't have any hope that Hongdou could become Orochimaru's disciple. Orochimaru was famous for his sharp eyes among the jonin. Hongdou had been under her for so long, and her talent was not that good.

I hope she can withstand this blow!

A faint smile appeared on Hinata Satoru's face. Was this a fateful encounter?

Or was it a self-correction of the timeline?

Originally, under his influence, Hongdou, who had not become Orochimaru's disciple, actually mustered up the courage to ask Orochimaru to become her apprentice.

...

Why do you want to be my disciple?

In the corridor, Orochimaru's voice was still replaying in Hongdou's ears, making her slightly stunned.

Why must I become the disciple of Orochimaru? Hongdou asked herself in her heart.

Suddenly, a series of pictures appeared in her mind...

She was running away madly when she encountered an enemy she could not defeat...

She saw Hinata Satoru covered in wounds in the ruins in the heavy rain...

Memories came like a tide, engulfing her in an instant. She subconsciously clenched her fists, tears fell, and her voice trembled.

"Because I hate my incompetence and my weakness."

"Master Orochimaru, please accept me as your disciple! I want to have power, I want to protect my companions... I want..."

Hongdou bowed deeper, clenched her fists tightly, and the floor in front of her was dripping with her tears.

...

Since when, there has been silence in the ward.

Hongdou's sad voice came from the corridor one by one, like a hammer, hitting their hearts again and again.

Aburame Shiwei sighed.

Maybe I am irresponsible as a teacher, and I haven't developed her true potential...

He couldn't help but blame himself.

Hinata Satoru had a faint smile on his face, looking at the ceiling.

In the corridor.

Orochimaru suddenly laughed hoarsely.

"Want to protect your companions? Interesting idea."

"I agree."

What?

Red Bean, who was still bending over, wondered if she had heard it wrong, slowly raised her head, and looked at Orochimaru with a little hesitation.

Orochimaru smiled at her and repeated.

"I agree, you will be my disciple from now on."

"Really...really? Lord... Orochimaru, no, teacher Orochimaru."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded at her.

"Great!"

Red Bean was so excited that she almost jumped up, and the sudden sense of happiness almost made her faint.

In fact, she didn't have much hope of becoming Orochimaru's disciple, but just thought that as long as there was a chance, she would try it.

Unexpectedly, it actually worked.

She happily rushed into the ward and grabbed Hinata Satoru's hand.

"Satoru, did you hear that? Lord Orochimaru agreed to accept me as his apprentice."

"I heard it." Hinata Satoru smiled helplessly at him, "Can you be gentler? I'm still a wounded person?"

"Oh, sorry!"

"Rin, did you hear that?"

"Yeah, congratulations."

"Teacher Zhiwei..."

"Congratulations, Red Bean, Orochimaru is a famous Sannin. I hope you can't be lazy under his guidance."

Aburame Zhiwei pushed the sunglasses on his face. Although he didn't expect Orochimaru to agree, he was really happy for Red Bean.

"Yeah, definitely!"

Hinata Satoru exhaled and looked at the ceiling. The ninja world seemed to have changed a lot because of his arrival. I wonder if Orochimaru will rebel again.

Escape from Konoha?

He was a little curious about the changes in Konoha in the future.

"Congratulations, Red Bean." He looked at Red Bean with a smile, with a hint of complexity in his eyes, "You will train with Orochimaru in the future."

"Yeah." Red Bean responded softly, and subconsciously lowered her head slightly.

Becoming a disciple of Orochimaru means separation from Team 3.

"Red Bean, don't worry, I will handle the matters of the Hokage."

Aburame Zhiwei spoke in a deep voice. As a disciple of Orochimaru, Red Bean must temporarily leave Team 3. She can go to the Hokage to handle the corresponding procedures.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhiwei."

Red Bean's voice was much smaller. Although she became a disciple of Orochimaru, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about being separated from these companions.

"Red Bean, don't think too much." Hinata Satoru said with a smile, "We are all happy that you can become Orochimaru's disciple. Go, Orochimaru is waiting for you outside. I am looking forward to the day when you grow up."

"Yeah."

Red Bean responded softly, looking at the people in the ward reluctantly, as if to remember their appearance firmly in her mind...

After Red Bean left, the ward was quiet for a long time.

Aburame Shiwei pondered for a moment, looked at Hinata Satoru, and spoke.

"I was going to tell you this news later, but since Red Bean has left, it doesn't matter if I tell you earlier."

"The Hokage has specially promoted you to Chunin, which means..."

"You may have to lead a team or perform missions alone in the future, and the third team will be disbanded..."
