After being promoted from Anbu squad captain to captain, the only tangible change for Mu Yue, who had no subordinates, was that his Anbu office had become larger.
Mu Yue now had a large office similar in style to Sarutobi Masanari's.
"Yamanaka Yoshiaki, Aoyama Hiromi..." Mu Yue flipped through the files on sensory ninjas that Hiruzen Sarutobi had given him.
Perhaps because the Yamanaka Clan had long cultivated special secret techniques, Mu Yue found that quite a few Yamanaka Clan ninjas possessed a talent for sensory abilities.
Mu Yue recalled the panels corresponding to those names and checked off the names of ninjas he thought might be able to learn Observation Haki.
As he went through the files, Mu Yue skipped over every sensory ninja with the surname Hyuga.
Because of the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai, strictly speaking, every member of the Hyuga Clan could serve as a sensory ninja.
There was nothing wrong with Obito and Shisui, who possessed the Sharingan, learning Observation Haki. Not only could it be used as Perception Ninjutsu, it could also detect attacks outside one's field of vision.
The Byakugan did not need it. The Byakugan itself had excellent Perception Ninjutsu capabilities, along with a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree field of view.
With most of their abilities overlapping, Observation Haki was not particularly necessary for ninjas with the Byakugan unless they cultivated it to a certain level.
After selecting twenty people, Mu Yue had the Anbu send the list to Hiruzen Sarutobi for approval.
Many of the ninjas he had chosen worked in different departments, such as the sensory unit and analysis unit. It was impossible for them to simply stop working and come train under Mu Yue because he said so; procedure had to be followed.
Besides, notifying that many people one by one would be troublesome
