It took a long time to eat dinner, and despite being nervous at the beginning, it was also enjoyable.
After it was over, everyone separated.
Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina went home, Hatake Sakumo took Kakashi home, and Jiraiya, the prodigal son, waved his hand and left alone.
Shita Genichi and Uzumaki Ina sent Shizune and Tsunade home together, because Tsunade drank a lot of wine today and was already tipsy.
After sending Shizune and Tsunade home, Shita Genichi and Uzumaki Ina walked home together.
"Genichi, I support you!"
Uzumaki Ina suddenly grabbed Shita Genichi's hand.
Shita Genichi was startled for a moment, then looked at Uzumaki Ina's ruby-like eyes and smiled, "Of course I know!"
"And you can only support me!"
Uzumaki Ina laughed, then whispered, "How domineering!"
Shita Genichi just pretended not to hear it.
This woman was greatly influenced by Uzumaki Kushina.
But it's pretty good.
Shita Genichi can feel that Uzumaki Ina's heart has not changed, and that is enough.
As for personality, there is nothing wrong with being lively.
A night of silence.
The next day, Shita Genichi arrived at the Anbu base directly under Hokage at nine o'clock in the morning.
The Anbu base is also located in a remote place. Unlike Root Base, it is located on the surface. The architectural style is cold and slightly eerie.
As soon as Shita Genichi arrived at the door, a familiar voice came. "Genichi!"
Stepping into the door, Shita Genichi saw Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "Senior!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and waved, "Let's go, I'll take you in."
"You are temporarily assigned to my team as the team leader. There should be no problem, right?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "Of course."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped at a window and said to the people inside, "Please give me a set of equipment."
As he spoke, he turned to Shita Genichi and asked, "Genichi, what mask do you choose?"
Shita Genichi thought for a while and said, "Tiger!"
The standard equipment of Anbu Ninja is not much, including a soft vest, a pair of steel arm guards, a pair of tattoo stickers, a mask, a sword bag, and a Ninja Blade.
Shita Genichi took the equipment and put it on directly. He happened to not be wearing Jonin vest when he came here today, but just wore a black half-sleeved round collar.
By the time they got to the locker room, Shita Genichi had only one mask left.
At this time, there were not many people in the locker room. In addition to Shita Genichi and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, there were six people, two women and four men. They were all dressed the same as Shita Genichi and Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
"Genichi, we are the third team. I lead team A and you lead team B."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke introduces Shita Genichi: "This is Chien, Mitokado Rai, Aburame Shiiwa. They belong to team A."
"This is Akimichi Dodo, Sarutobi Mikage, Gekko Ryufu, they belong to team B."
Shita Genichi I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.
He remembered that Akimichi Dodo and Namikaze Minato once fought against Kumo Ninja in Third Shinobi World War.
Mitokado Rai, this should be Mitokado Clan from the same ninja clan as elder Mitokado Homura.
There is also Gekko Ryufu, a female who looks to be about 20 years old. She is dark and straight, about 1.67 meters tall, and has a handsome face.
Chien, looks like a very gentle woman, and is younger, similar to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
There is something wrong with the two of them.
Konohamaru's mother?
After Sarutobi Shinnosuke finished the introduction, Mitokado Rai and the three of them greeted Shita Genichi one after another, "Captain!"
Shita Genichi nodded. "Hello, I am Shita Genichi."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke knocked on the mask and said, "Let's go outside."
A group of people left the Anbu base and then walked out of the Konoha.
On the roadside, eight people stopped, either standing on the ground or squatting on a tree.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke took off his mask and smiled, "Genichi, although everyone has heard of your name, you still want to show your strength!"
"In Anbu, strength is greater than anything else."
Shita Genichi wore a mask and looked at others. "How to show it?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke put on the mask again. "Just a little show, just...Genjutsu!"
Shita Genichi nodded.
The next moment, before anyone else could react, the two people in the tree fell directly to the ground with a thud.
"Huan...Genjutsu, when?"
"My vision and hearing are all blocked!"
"Cannot be lifted!"
The voices of the two people lying on the ground were particularly loud.
Because they can neither see nor hear at the moment.
Several other people were shocked. They didn't see Shita Genichi Hand Seals at all.
The legendary Sharingan has not been opened either.
He was tricked quietly.
With a snap of his fingers, Shita Genichi untied Genjutsu for the two of them.
Mitokado Rai and Sarutobi Mikage got up from the ground and looked at Shita Genichi with different eyes.
It is better to meet than to be famous!
Shita Genichi nodded slightly at the two of them, and then asked Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "Senior, I heard that Root is Anbu's training institution. Don't you need to go to Root for special training to enter Anbu?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke explained, "There was indeed such a rule in the past."
"The original purpose of Root was to provide talents to Anbu. Strictly speaking, Root is also a part of Anbu."
"But now Root is considered an independent organization, led by Lord Danzo."
"As for training new people, sometimes Root's cooperation is indeed needed, but Genichi you naturally don't need it."
Shita Genichi I understand.
Now Root is Danzo's personal armed force, and its original functions have gradually disappeared.
Root cultivates Anbu members, so I asked Sarutobi Hiruzen, are you relieved?
Therefore, Hokage is now directly affiliated with Anbu members, and they are basically selected from the existing mature and outstanding Chunin and Special Jonin.
After Anbu was trained and released, they were all the backbone elites, which would help Hokage control the entire ninja team.
In this case, people like Danzo are nothing.
Hokage is Hokage after all.
Danzo exists because there is a need for a dark side.
After understanding, the task begins.
The first task of Shita Genichi entering Anbu is very ordinary, patrolling the Land of Fire border, with the goal being the border between Land of Fire and Land of Rain.
"Land of Rain has been very chaotic recently. Various ninja organizations are fighting each other. From time to time, ninjas cross the border and enter Land of Fire, affecting nearby villages."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke introduces the situation.
Of course, such a task generally does not require Anbu to come forward.
And Root has always been in charge of Land of Rain.
It's just that Shita Genichi has just entered Anbu, and needs to use low-difficulty tasks to adapt to the new rhythm.
That night, Shita Genichi and others arrived at the Land of Fire border and began to patrol.
At this time, the AB teams separated and monitored the border between the two countries in separate areas.
Both teams happen to have sentient ninjas, which is relatively convenient.
However, such a task is also very boring. The only adjustment is to eat some game.
After all, this is a large forest and is very rich in wild materials.
In three days, the two teams Shita Genichi expelled six waves of ninjas from Amegakure.
These six waves of ninjas all carry Amegakure's Forehead Protector, but whether they are Amegakure's or not, I'm afraid only they themselves know.
The mission of Shita Genichi and others is to prevent these people from escaping into Land of Fire's territory to cause destruction. Their identities are not within the scope of the mission.
Day 4, morning.
Shita Genichi and Akimichi Dodo patrolled along the route as usual, and at the same time used the technique of the Heavenly Water Boundless Realm to sense a large area.
Sarutobi Mikage and Gekko Ryufu patrol the second line, with the two groups crossing over to expand the scope of surveillance while minimizing loopholes.
Even so, it cannot be foolproof, so Shita Genichi needs to cast Heavenly Water Boundless Realm and Sensory Ninjutsu every once in a while to make up for it.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's side relies on the Aburame Clan's bugs to make up for the lack of manpower.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Shita Genichi raised his eyebrows.
Akimichi Dodo, who was already familiar with it, immediately asked, "Captain, what's going on?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "To the southwest, near the border of Land of Rivers, there is a group of ninjas coming in. Inform Sanying and Liufeng!"
"Understood!"
Akimichi Dodo nodded, and the huge body immediately jumped up nimbly, leaping between the branches, reaching the top of the tree in a blink of an eye, and then the signal flare was launched into the air.
Sarutobi Mikage and Gekko Ryufu, who were patrolling on the other side, immediately changed direction after seeing the red flare in the sky.
Three minutes later, the two parties reunited and accelerated towards the south under the leadership of Shita Genichi.
Whoosh whoosh!
The body fell, Shita Genichi supported the tree trunk with his right hand and looked at the person opposite.
On the ground, Akimichi Dodo held a long stick and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Captain, he is from Sunagakure!"
Shita Genichi said, "Three Shadows, Liufeng, you go and negotiate!"
"Understood!"
Sarutobi Mikage and Gekko Ryufu from behind immediately stepped forward, and Sunagakure's people also stopped. There were four of them in total.
Soon, Gekko Ryufu returned. "Captain, they want to enter Land of Fire. There will be no hostility and no conflicts will occur. As for the mission, it is secret!"
Shita Genichi looked calmly. "Reject!"
"Let them leave immediately, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
Gekko Ryufu immediately turned around and conveyed the order.
This attitude made Suna Ninja very unhappy. One of them directly took out Kunai and said, "Captain, force your way through!"
Shita Genichi behind him immediately turned cold when he saw it.
The next moment, the Sand Ninja holding Kunai fell to the ground without saying a word.
Captain Sand Ninja was shocked. "It's Genjutsu!"
"Withdraw!"
Picking up his comrades on the ground, the Sand Ninja retreated decisively.
Shita Genichi did not continue to take action and watched the four Sand Ninja leave.
Sarutobi Mikage The two returned, and Gekko Ryufu said, "Captain, they should enter Land of Fire from other places, right?"
At present, the Land of Fire border cannot be guarded at all places.
Shita Genichi didn't care. "This is not our task, as long as we ensure that no one on the Land of Rain border can enter Land of Fire."
"Continue to patrol as originally planned, disperse!"
The team split into two groups again.
But Shita Genichi's thoughts have already flown to Sunagakure.
It's not surprising that people from Sunagakure entered Land of Fire, but at this point in time, it had to make him think more.
Third Kazekage Is this being fucked?
What happened in the next few days confirmed Shita Genichi's guess.
A sand ninja actually crossed the border from Land of Rain and wanted to enter Land of Fire.
Shita Genichi is basically confirmed, and now Sunagakure is the ant on the hot pot, searching for Third Kazekage all over the world.
It is really difficult to bear the loss of Kazekage in a village.
If Konoha's Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly disappeared, we would have to search all over the world for it.
And this also means... war is about to break out!
Sunagakure's actions are too big and will soon attract the attention of other ninja villages.
Then take advantage of the situation and rob it.
Shita Genichi remembers that the first person to do it was Kumogakure.
Kumogakure, who is farthest away, starts first. To be honest, Shita Genichi is really difficult to understand.
Oh, Ninja Village is just a mercenary, so that's okay!
