It can be said that this is Sarutobi Hiruzen's first intuitive view of Shoji, that is, the time of direct contact and observation is a little shorter. Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that Shoji is closer to his former companion, Uchiha, than Shisui.
Mirror, and Shoji who is only 15 years old still has more possibilities. Hiruzen doesn't believe that a boy of this age can disguise himself so perfectly.
If that were the case, it would seem a bit too scary.
Therefore, from a general theoretical point of view, Shoji is still trustworthy. As for the remaining ones, Hiruzen plans to arrange some tasks to further observe Shoji after he enters the ANBU. As long as he can pass these tests, Shoji will
He will truly become Hiruzen Sarutobi's most trusted subordinate, just as the second Hokage once believed in Uchiha Mirror.
Shoji is the ‘Uchiha Mirror’ of this generation destined by Hiruzen Sarutobi!
In the original work, the Sandaime asked Uchiha Itachi to join the ANBU. After seeing a general who is more worthy of training in this life, it is natural to make the same choice.
"Hokage-sama, thank you!"
The general still kept his head slightly bowed and responded in a calm tone.
"hehe."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled softly, he coughed lightly and said seriously: "Okay, let's get straight to the point, General Uchiha, the reason why I summoned you here today is because I want you to join the ANBU directly under the Hokage.
I wonder if you are willing?"
Sudden shocking words.
As it falls.
Shoji suddenly raised his head, his pupils suddenly widened, and he looked at the Sandaime Hokage in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
"ANBU? Hokage-sama, do you want me to join the ANBU? But I am from the Uchiha clan..."
Anbu, the full name of the Assassination Tactics Special Forces, was founded by the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama in his own ninja village. It was later adopted by all major ninja villages. Generally speaking, except for the few people in the ninja village, Anbu
The ninjas here represent the strongest combat power of the village, the moment when the Second Hokage first founded ANBU.
There are only 70 people in total, and there are four squads under it, with a general captain, a deputy captain, and four squad captains. Next, there is a regular four-person squad to perform tasks. However, after the development over the years,
Konoha's ANBU has expanded to hundreds of people, and the divisions have been further expanded from the original four major divisions. The Roots under Danzo's control should have been regarded as just an ANBU division directly under the Hokage, and it is obviously not under control in the future.
Expand.
Nowadays, there are exactly how many ANBU there are in Noda University and who are the members. In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only the Hokage is qualified to know, including Mito Kaden and Koharu, who only know a small part. It is precisely because
Due to the special nature of ANBU, this department is regarded as the most important existence in the village.
since the establishment of this department.
In Konoha Hidden Village, people from all the major ninja clans have joined one after another. Only the Uchiha clan has not entered it for decades. It can be said that after hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say these words
At that time, Shoji was not pretending, he was really surprised. Could it be that just at this stage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, had already chosen to believe in himself?
If this is the case, it is indeed something worthy of celebration and joy.
But is this really the case? Or is this just a test of himself by the Sandaime Hokage? Uchiha Shoji couldn't restrain the slightly mixed thoughts deep in his mind. At this moment, he really didn't hide himself at all.
Emotionally, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a complex expression of confusion, shock and so on.
When this unabashed look came into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, the third generation Hokage's expression seemed to have remained unchanged, but deep down in his heart he nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion,
Shoji's behavior is the most normal, and his obviously hesitant tone shows that this Uchiha boy attaches great importance to the 'righteousness of the village'!
Just need to be clear about this.
Nothing else is important.
This Uchiha General is the ‘mirror’ he is looking for!
In all the qualities needed to see the overall situation, such as measurement, thinking, and awareness, Shoji performed better than Shisui. For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen even thought about it, or he would have been like his teacher, General Uchiha.
The thought of accepting him as his disciple.
But this scene at this time.
Obviously the timing, identity, and conditions don't match.
This idea just ran through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind once, and was driven out of his mind by himself.
And deep down in my heart, I still have the last trace of fear and vigilance.
"Yes, you heard it right, Shoji-kun, I just want you to join the ANBU directly under the Hokage. The reason is very simple. You have such qualifications and abilities. I also believe that you will become an excellent ANBU and contribute to the village.
We fight for our own righteousness and interests, don’t we?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha General with very deep eyes when he said those obviously meaningful words.
The general's pupils shrank suddenly, and the expression on his face became very serious.
One old and one young.
The two looked at each other.
It seems like a moment, but it seems like eternity.
After a long silence.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
A look of determination gradually appeared in the general's pupils, and when he suddenly lowered his head, those resolute words also fell simultaneously.
Everything is left unsaid.
Smart people often don't need any further explanation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw the look of determination on the general's face.
A gentle smile appeared on the old face.
"The future of the village depends on young people like you, Jiang Si-kun, I believe you will not let me down!"
"yes!"
"Well, you go back and rest for two days today. Someone will contact you later. Remember, no matter what happens, you can come to me as soon as possible. If you are not able to handle it sometimes, Mito Gate consultant and transfer
Advisors can also be trusted, and if you talk to Shisui more, I think you two geniuses of the younger generation should have a lot in common."
This is another core issue that is further pointed out.
I just have to write those words on my face.
If Shoji still had some doubts before coming here, at this moment, he has completely understood the plans of his Hokage. It can be said that this is in line with Shoji's next plan.
I was still worried about how to start, but now I have skipped this most important and troublesome step.
And this will undoubtedly make Shoji's next plan go more smoothly.
