The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, Konoha Anbu base near Hokage Building. WwWCOM
Today is the first day at work. Sato Hideaka arrived at Anbu's base early and entered the previously designated room to wait for the contact person. After all, the first impression is very important. Giving a good impression to superiors will be helpful for future work and promotion.
Half an hour later, a ninja carrying a long sword, wearing a gray-green ninja vest and a cat mask appeared in the room. After seeing Sato Hideaka, he said coldly, "My code name is "Guren". I am your direct superior and the captain of Ninth Squad. Anbu all call each other by code names. You can give yourself a code name..."
"Well, let's call my code name "Qing"!" Sato Hideaka frowned, suddenly thinking of his own color, so he simply replaced his code name with his color.
Chief Team Guren nodded, took out a key from the ninja bag, opened the cabinet numbered 169 in the locker in the room, took out a monkey mask and a beige hooded windbreaker and said to Sato Hideaka, "Qing, these are Anbu clothes specially customized according to your height and shape. We will go out on a mission in half an hour, so put them on now!"
Sato Hideaka took the windbreaker and mask handed over by Guren, changed into a beige windbreaker in a fitting room, put on Monkey Mask and walked out, asking with some confusion, "Captain, what mission are we going to perform today? Is it a patrol mission?"
Patrol tasks are the most basic tasks. Logically speaking, newcomers who have just joined Anbu will most likely do patrol tasks as their first task, because such tasks are not difficult. Newcomers can slowly adapt to the rhythm of Anbu's tasks through patrol tasks.
"Patrol mission? The mission we accepted this time is not a simple patrol mission, but an A-level escort mission. The target we need to protect has been targeted by a group of ninjas, and there are even jonins among these ninjas."
Guren, who was carrying Cat Mask, shook his head and said in a serious tone.
No way, it's actually an A-level mission?
Unexpectedly, the first mission he accepted was an A-level mission. You must know that an A-level mission is the most difficult mission after S-level. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Sato Hideaka's mouth. It seemed that this mission was quite risky. Fortunately, he learned Flying Thunder God Technique, so it was not difficult to save his life at the critical moment.
Looking at Sato Hideaka, whose height was only at his abdomen, Guren explained calmly, "But you don't have to worry, this mission is located at Konoha, and is completed by three teams. It seems that there is also the cooperation of Konoha Police Force, which can basically guarantee that everything will be foolproof-"
"Well, Captain, I understand."
Sato Hideaka nodded and said, Anbu's tasks are generally only known to those at the captain level, and the rest are only responsible for execution. The captain named Guren can be regarded as very important to him if he can follow him so much.
Not long after, in Konoha's Anbu base, a total of nine people from three teams gathered in this room--
Guren glanced at the eight people below as usual. When he saw Sato Hideaka, he suddenly felt a little weird, because Sato Hideaka, who was only about 1.2 meters tall, looked too conspicuous among this group of people with an average height of about 1.75 meters.
Shaking his head secretly, Guren said lightly, "Action."
As soon as the words fell, Guren's figure disappeared into the room and appeared on the roof opposite the window. After the black shadow flashed quickly, except for Sato Hideaka, the other seven people in the room all appeared on the roof opposite the window, following Guren as they rushed toward the southeast--
I wiped it, was it so fast, without considering that I was a newcomer?
Looking at the retreating figures of the seven people under the roof outside the house, a green arrogance suddenly appeared on Sato Hideaka's body, blowing the beige windbreaker like a wave. Feeling the surging chakra in his body, he stamped his foot on the ground and followed after passing through the window in an instant.
The first few Anbu ninjas are extremely fast. They basically make no sound when walking quickly on the roof. Every path they choose also misses the line of sight of the people on the street below, making them impossible to spot. Obviously, these Anbu Ninja have extremely strong stealth capabilities.
Sato Hideaka followed their methods and followed them. It didn't take long to catch up with them. Under the leadership of captain Guren, the nine people ran for about half an hour and stopped in front of a sparsely populated street not far from where Uchiha gathered.
After all nine people gathered in a dark alley in the street and formed a circle, Guren took out a photo from his arms and placed it in the middle for everyone to see: In a flowing courtyard with floating cherry blossom petals, a girl with ice-skinned skin and eyes as delicate as a porcelain doll, wearing a pink kimono, leaned against a cherry blossom tree, her long black hair fluttering in the wind. A faint smile appeared on her cold and calm face.
With her beautiful face and fluttering petals, she looks like a fairy in a flower!
Looking around at the eight people around, captain Guren said, "This mission was personally assigned by Third Hokage. The mission content is to protect Uchiha Kaoru who may be assassinated by Cloud Village ninjas. The girl in this photo is our protection target Uchiha Kaoru!"
It's her!
Unexpectedly, his first mission was to protect her?
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Sato Hideaka's mouth, originally Kumogakure coveted Uchiha Kaoru After Sharingan was reported to Third Hokage, he did not see any movement from Third Hokage. He thought that Third Hokage did not care about the life and death of Uchiha Kaoru. Unexpectedly, with the help of this information, Third Hokage actually asked Anbu and Uchiha Police Force to cooperate together.
I'm afraid that the great elder of Uchiha now owes Third Hokage a big favor. He is really an old fox!
"The target mission will appear here at eight o'clock, and we will secretly escort it. During this time, the Kumogakure ninjas are very likely to attack. Our first mission is to protect the safety of Uchiha Kaoru, and the second mission is to eliminate these Cloud Village ninjas--" Guren continued to explain the priority of this mission. After everyone nodded, he told Sato Hideaka:
"Qing, please follow me later and learn how to protect the target person while hiding!"
Sato Hideaka touched his head, nodded and said, "Understood!"
Guren gave the mission instructions completely and whispered to everyone, "Everything will be carried out according to the mission, disperse!"
The seven Anbu Ninja turned into seven black shadows, scattered and lurking in every corner of this must-pass road. Sato Hideaka, who had not turned on Lightning Release·Electric Net Technique, could not feel the aura and existence of these seven people at all, nor their current lurking positions.
Guren looked at Sato Hide, who was several heads shorter than himself, frowned and said, "Qing, there is still about an hour left, let me tell you the secret of lurking, and see how many levels you can learn--"
Sato Hideaka nodded in astonishment. He probably performed too poorly when following them on the roof just now. He didn't expect that the other party would actually teach him lurking skills at this moment. Would it be useful to just improvise?
Sato Hideaka was wearing a monkey face mask at this time, and Guren could not see the real thoughts from his expression. He continued, "The three most important points of lurking are hiding the body shape, hiding the breath, and hiding the chakra fluctuations. Hiding the body means using the opponent's visual blind spots and the surrounding environment to avoid the other party's sight. Hiding the breath means holding one's breath and concentrating, keeping one's own breath inward to prevent being perceived by the opponent's sixth sense--
"The first two points are not difficult for ninjas. The most difficult thing is the third point of hiding chakra fluctuations. Hiding chakra fluctuations while using chakra, because for perceptive ninjas, a little chakra fluctuation will attract the opponent's attention."
"..."
Sato Hideaka is like a sponge, learning the knowledge taught by senior Anbu Ninja. After comparison, he found that the second and third points are easier for him. With absolute control, both breath and chakra fluctuations are very easy to hide, but the first point escapes the opponent's sight through the opponent's visual blind spot and the surrounding environment--
For Sato Hideaka who has never learned the latent skill, this may require accumulation of experience to fully learn it!
As Guren carefully taught the lurking skills in detail, time passed by minute by second, and before you knew it, it was eight o'clock. From the settlement of the Uchiha Clan in the distance, a dozen young people wearing Uchiha gray and blue uniforms slowly walked out!
