Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at a document in front of him with a solemn expression.
This is some judgment made by the special type of ninja from ANBU after examining the body of Mochi Sagi. At the same time, they also found some information on Mochi Sagi's body.
"The target is Naito Naito and Uzumaki Kushina... This is a bit of a problem."
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, a sharp look flashing in his eyes.
"Naito, although the incident of killing Han was hidden and unknown, he was known as a genius in the ninja school, so it is worth the effort to assassinate him."
"But Kushina...that's weird."
The special type of ninja from ANBU discovered a lot of information on Momochi Sagi.
Among them is Mochi Sagi's target this time, not just Naito.
There is another person at the same time, that is Kushina!
"Could it be that other Ninja Villages guessed Kushina's identity?"
"It's possible." The person next to him responded.
The person who appeared next to Sarutobi Hiruzen and responded was Hatake Sakumo.
"Then maybe we should make a double plan. Mito-sama's life can't last long." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.
Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the first Hokage and the first Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
"Um."
Hatake Sakumo nodded slightly.
Uzumaki Kushina is the next Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and not many people in Konoha know about it.
But this does not guarantee that spies from other ninja villages will not make inferences based on some information.
After pondering for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said: "How is Yu Ye?"
"He's fine."
Hatake Sakumo smiled softly and said: "That child is not only extremely talented, Hokage-sama should know that his mind is the same as Namikaze Minato, he is extraordinary."
"Hmm." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and suddenly said: "Then, can Naito become an official ANBU?"
"This... let me review it again."
Hatake Sakumo hesitated slightly and said: "Although he handled this assassination incident very well, it does not mean that he has reached the standard of ANBU ninja."
"Um."
…
Konoha Anbu.
After explaining the tricks Mochi Sagi used during the assassination process and some information, Naito left the intelligence department.
He is also one of the ANBU candidate ninjas, so he only needs to briefly explain the process.
After leaving the intelligence department, Naito was about to leave ANBU when he suddenly received a summons for ANBU candidate ninjas.
Slightly surprised, Yu Ye immediately thought that this should be a regular training camp for ANBU candidate ninjas.
Regular training sessions are mandatory and cannot be refused.
After receiving the call, Naito walked towards the gathering place of ANBU candidate ninjas.
ANBU candidate ninjas are different from official ninjas.
Precisely because candidate ninjas do not need to perform too many tasks, there are specific training sessions on a regular basis.
The meeting point is in a dedicated hall.
When Yu Ye arrived, he found that many masked ninjas had gathered in the hall.
Basically all of them are ANBU candidates.
Speaking of which, the full name of ANBU is the Assassination Tactics Special Forces, and the root of Danzo is also called the ANBU training department.
But in fact, the training of Anbu ninja has nothing to do with Danzo, and has nothing to do with the roots.
How could Sarutobi Hiruzen feel free to leave the ANBU ninja around him to Danzo for training?
So the roots and dark parts are nominally together, but in fact they are completely separate.
The training of ANBU candidate ninjas is still conducted within ANBU and has nothing to do with the Roots.
When Yu Ye walked into the crowd, he attracted a lot of strange looks.
Although Naito also wears a mask and a cloak.
But this cannot conceal Yu Ye's age.
Judging from his appearance, Yu Ye should be just a teenager.
Can such a young child become an ANBU candidate?
Some ninjas showed surprise in their eyes and shook their heads secretly.
It's not that easy to be an official ANBU ninja, but it's not that easy to be an ANBU candidate ninja either.
Sarutobi Hiruzen devoted his resources to provide the ANBU candidate ninjas with various daily necessities and training, not just for them to play with.
ANBU training is on the one hand training, and on the other hand it is elimination!
Eliminate some ninjas who are not qualified to be ANBU candidates, and record the outstanding ninjas among them.
An outstanding ninja is naturally a ninja who is qualified to become a full-time ninja.
As for those eliminated, they will no longer enjoy the benefits of ANBU candidate ninjas, and can only return to the ground and become ordinary ninjas.
In the eyes of some ninjas, it was too immature for Naito to join ANBU as a candidate at such a young age.
I'm afraid I won't even make it past the first round and will be eliminated directly.
After everyone shook their heads, these ninjas stopped looking at Yu Ye.
After a while, everyone was almost there, and a ninja wearing a cloak of different colors walked in.
With a flash, it appeared at the forefront.
He is not the ANBU captain, but he is one of only three ANBU squad leaders.
It also belongs to the upper echelons of Konoha.
"This training camp will adopt a points system. The three people with the lowest scores will be eliminated from the ANBU. I hope everyone will take it seriously."
"The first round of training is in the Forest of Death. Come with me."
The ANBU captain's face was hidden under the mask, but his voice was extremely calm, with a hint of hoarseness.
After saying that, he turned around and left the hall.
All the ANBU candidate ninjas set off together and followed the ANBU captain.
Yu Ye also followed.
"The Forest of Death? It's such a familiar place."
There was a strange light shining in his eyes, and the corners of Yu Ye's mouth hidden under the mask slightly raised.
It seems to be the venue for the second Chunin Examination in the original book.
It's quite interesting.
Following the ANBU captain, Naito was slightly surprised that they did not go to the ground, but kept moving underground.
Unexpectedly, there is a direct passage to the Death Forest underground in Konoha.
But it makes sense.
I didn’t know how far I walked underground, and I almost arrived at the bottom of the Forest of Death.
It's extremely narrow here, with only one upward passage left.
Everyone who followed the ANBU captain stopped.
Then, the ANBU captain led everyone up.
Directly entered the tower in the center of the Death Forest.
It is also the location of the qualifiers for the third test in the original book.
When everyone was present, the ANBU captain raised his head calmly and looked at all the ANBU candidate ninjas.
He began to state the formal rules.
"In the Forest of Death, there are many traces left by ninjas."
"Follow these traces and keep searching, and you can eventually find the special mission prop, which is the scroll in my hand."
