In the corridor, Konoha Anbu in twos and threes were either passing by in a hurry or walking out slowly.
This is the base camp of ANBU ninjas. The ANBU usually need to come here to prepare for each mission. If you want to list the most secret and hidden facilities in Konoha Village, this is now the number one, and it used to be the number one.
two.
The reason why I say this is of course because not long ago, the roots have completely announced their disbandment...
At this moment, a short ANBU member suddenly emerged from the crowd.
He hurriedly walked through the crowd and went straight to the inside of the base. Originally, this was a normal thing for Anbu. After all, everyone receives urgent missions. However, the strange thing is that for this chicken,
When everyone saw the ANBU members of Tachikaku Group, they all chose to avoid them.
It wasn't until he walked away that a few people started talking.
"Kakashi, he seems to be very busy lately." An ANBU captain whispered.
"After all, he was once a student of the Yondaime. It seems that Hokage-sama also intends to train him to be a right-hand man. It is appropriate for him to be reused, right?"
A certain veteran ANBU member looked like he had seen through the world.
"It's great. I was promoted to squad leader at the age of 15. I thought I had just become a chuunin when I was 15..."
The ANBU captain sighed and sighed, feeling vaguely envious.
However, the old ANBU member next to him knew that what the squad leader envied was neither the relationship between Kakashi and the current Hokage nor the bright future. What he envied was simply Kakashi's promotion speed, or the speed of his strength growth.
To be more precise...
The ANBU department is very different from the ordinary ninja organization.
Strength first is the iron rule here, and all promotions rely on pure hard power.
You must know that ANBU performs all high-risk tasks. Therefore, your ability determines the difficulty of the tasks you are assigned. If you are not strong enough, you may never be able to return from one task.
Therefore, in the dark department, strength assessment is very important.
The current capabilities of almost every member are clearly documented.
It can also be seen from this that Kakashi's strength growth rate is astonishing when he was promoted to squad leader in just one year...
But although Kakashi is currently the most dazzling rising star in ANBU, his personality when he first joined ANBU was very difficult to approach. Coupled with his cold behavior during missions, many people see Kakashi on weekdays.
They all look like they can't avoid it.
On the other side, Kakashi, who was being quietly discussed, was filling out a mission itinerary record form in the lounge. This is a normal process that ANBU members must go through every time they complete a mission.
"It's Kakashi, did you just come back from the mission?" came a voice from outside the door.
Kakashi looked up and saw an ANBU wearing a Shura ghost mask.
The masks of ANBU members are mostly animal-shaped. The mask type of the person in front of me can be said to be unique in the entire ANBU, because it belongs to the ANBU leader and is exclusive to the ANBU leader.
After discovering that it was an elephant, Kakashi quickly filled out the record form with a few strokes, then stood up, nodded and said, "Captain Elephant, do you have any new mission arrangements?"
"I don't have any new tasks, I just want to talk to you about something..." Xiang slowed down his tone and smiled lightly.
Kakashi was stunned and chose not to say a word, obviously indicating that he was waiting for the next chapter...
The elephant under Shura's ghost face frowned slightly, but his faint displeasure was well hidden by the mask.
"Then let me get it straight, because the Roots have been officially disbanded and some of their original functions need to be taken over by our ANBU. Lord Hokage has decided to expand the ANBU's establishment.
The ANBU Training Department currently needs to appoint a new team leader to take charge of management, are you interested?"
Kakashi was a little surprised. The ANBU Training Department is a place where new ANBU ninjas are trained. As far as he knew, the training ninjas there were basically older, slightly disabled, or senior ANBU who would retire in a few years.
.With this almost sinecure position, why would Xiang come to inquire about his intentions?
It's conceivable to use a ninja forehead protector. It's impossible for any young ninja to be willing to take such a position, right?
Except for Shikamaru, I'm afraid there is no young ninja in his teens who would want to lie down so early, right?
"Sorry, Captain Xiang, I have no intention of going to the training department..." Kakashi immediately expressed his refusal.
And Xiang seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and sighed with a smile: "That's it, then I will find someone else..."
The conversation between the two ended quickly, and Kakashi left first because he finished recording.
Then only Xiang was left in the empty ANBU lounge.
At this moment, after confirming that Kakashi had gone away, Xiang suddenly turned out the record sheet in the folder on the side of the desk. He looked up the place where Kakashi had filled in the mission and found that it clearly wrote:
After leaving the Country of Grass, he quietly put it back to its original place...
…
The Land of Rain, Rain Ninja Village.
Among the steel-lined tower buildings, on the top floor of one of the tallest buildings, a skinny red-haired man sitting in a strange machine, and a blue-haired woman in a red cloud cloak beside him, were looking solemnly at the window sill.
Masked man.
The rain outside is gradually getting heavier, and the occasional flash of thunder in the sky illuminates the dark hall on the top floor from time to time.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit dull. After a long time, the masked man standing by the window sill asked: "Why did you act without authorization?"
"According to the plan, Hanzo, the apparent leader of the Rain Ninja Village, is still valuable for the time being. It is too early for you to kill him..."
Uchiha Obito was quite critical of the fact that Nagato rashly secretly assassinated Hanzo while he was recovering from his injuries, and officially seized the power of the Rain Ninja Village.
Because according to his plan, the Ninja World War is not over yet. There is still a lot of room for maneuver to use Hanzo's influence on the Rain Ninja Village to intervene in the war to attack Konoha. But before he can implement the plan, Nagato takes control.
Payne took the lead and eliminated Hanzo and all his forces. Obito's dissatisfaction was not actually because Nagato disrupted the plan. The real reason was that he was dissatisfied with Nagato's decision-making without authorization.
In his eyes, Nagato and Akatsuki are just puppets being monitored and manipulated. It should never happen if the puppet goes against the will of the operator...
"Your so-called plan is just a waste of the power of Yu Ninja Village."
Nagato responded coldly: "Now, I am one step closer to mastering these eyes and the power of the six paths, so I decided to start Akatsuki's expansion plan in advance."
"Immediately begin to recruit new members and enter the first stage of fund raising."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Obito at the window sill suddenly sensed the darkness behind Nagato, and several auras suddenly flashed out.
At the moment when the thunder and lightning outside illuminated the hall, Uchiha Obito saw clearly the figures behind Nagato. There were six of them. They all had orange hair, and there were black chakra rods all over their face and body.
Neat samsara eyes, uniform red cloud robe...
Is it already completed?
Uchiha Obito was slightly surprised. The last time they met, he only saw one Pain puppet made from Yahiko's body, but now there are six puppets that have systematically dispersed the ability of the Rinnegan.
…
This shows that Nagato has truly developed Madara's reincarnation eye ability to a new level.
This speed of progress was beyond his expectation.
"Then...it's up to you."
Uchiha Obito hesitated for a moment, but decided to reveal the matter.
After all, on the surface, he and Nagato's Akatsuki organization only have a cooperative relationship, and as long as Nagato does not change his final plan to collect tailed beasts, everything is tolerable.
At this moment, a White Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground beside Uchiha Obito.
Nagato and Konan were already accustomed to the existence of Zetsu who was responsible for detecting intelligence next to Obito, so they were not too surprised.
On the contrary, they have some admiration for Bai Jue, who has extremely strong reconnaissance ability.
Because every time Jue appears, it brings highly confidential and accurate and reliable intelligence information, and this time will probably be no exception...
