Especially a ninja like Shōji who possesses Kekkei Genkai.
As long as you use your Kekkei Genkai during the execution of the task, your identity can be almost locked. Nara, Inuzuka Clan, Aburame, Akimichi This is true for some Ninja Clan, but the number of these people joining Anbu is not small. Without further intelligence data, others can at most lock the Ninja Clan category, making it difficult to determine the identity of the person.
Only Shōji is different. As long as Sharingan is used, it should not be too obvious, so as long as they perform tasks together, their identities will definitely be known to their teammates. This also applies to The squad leader that Shōji is following at the moment, if this 'zero' is really that Kakashi Hatake, there will definitely be a chance of using Sharingan and Lightning Cutter during the mission.
Once these two ninjutsu and Dojutsu are used.
The identity is simply not easy to guess.
This is a targeted search.
Therefore, at this point, Zero just said that, and Shōji just heard that. Anyway, my family knows their own affairs, and it is simply impossible to keep their identity 100% secret.
Zero also knew this.
After saying this, he didn't say anything more.
Taking Shōji, he went further into the left passage and came to a dark iron door.
Zero gently opened the door and stepped in with Shōji.
There were already five figures waiting inside. The moment they saw Zero arriving, the atmosphere of these people who originally seemed a little lazy immediately changed. Each of them straightened their bodies and faced Zero.
"Squad leader!"
Each one of them bowed slightly to show their basic respect for their squad leader.
Then, Shōji met the eyes of these five colleagues who were also wearing Anbu uniforms with different altitudes. The moment he saw these people, Shōji realized clearly that these people should all be The squad leaders in Third Squad were originally arranged by Third Hokage to join Anbu. Shōji always thought that he would start as an ordinary Anbu member, but he did not expect that he would be directly assigned the position of squad leader.
But this is understandable.
Judging from the record of Land of Hot Springs, in terms of pure strength, the current Shōji is more than enough to serve as the squad leader. However, the position of squad leader obviously does not only depend on personal strength, but also on seniority, trust, and other abilities besides personal strength, such as commanding ability, strategic ability, etc.
It can even be said that team leaders have to select the best among the best.
Not only does it require at least the strength of Special Jōnin, but it must also be one of Third's trusted subordinates. The reason why Third arranged for Shōji to directly become the squad leader is a sign of trust and a further test. As mentioned before, at this stage In the paragraph, whether Shōji or Third, they only have a certain degree of trust in each other, especially Shōji. Once in the next special relationship, they will directly judge that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not the kind person he expected, but a hypocrite.
Shōji will decisively adopt the second plan.
Only when you are well prepared can you see the dawn of victory.
Even though Shōji is now taking the path of 'trusting Third Hokage', the preparations for the second plan have not fallen behind. One's own strength and the strength of the family are the key points. He has not leaked his Mangekyō Sharingan Go, it is proof, including Shisui Uchiha. From the current point of view, Shisui should not have told Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha High Command about opening Mangekyō Sharingan.
in the coming time.
Shōji must find a suitable opportunity to let Shisui conceal this. Shōji has thought about the reason, 'Mangekyō Sharingan can easily stimulate the higher-ups to further doubt their clan. For the sake of the clan and the village, this news must be hidden'.
The only thing missing was the right timing.
After all, Shisui himself has not yet exposed his Mangekyō Sharingan. It would be strange if he ran over so carelessly and was not suspected by Shisui.
Shōji has many thoughts running through his mind.
"Here are all the team leaders to which our Third Squad belongs. This is the new Sixth Squad captain—Eagle. Then, from left to right, are the captains of the first to fifth teams—Rat, Black, B, Naizumi, and Tiger!"
Zero, who had already stepped into the middle position, glanced sideways at the old subordinate on the left and Shōji on the right, and then gave each other a brief introduction.
Under Zero's introduction.
Shōji and the five colleagues across from him just nodded to each other.
There was no further greeting.
Because here.
If not necessary.
Anbu is basically a representative of taciturnity.
This is not an ordinary unit welcoming new employees. Almost all the work they have to do is bloody!
"Well, with the addition of Ying, I, Third Squad, have all the personnel. Next, I have to announce a major task. This is the key order from Lord Third!"
Zero stood in the top position.
Looking at the six people Shōji who were already lined up below, he said in a very serious tone.
What I heard was the command given by Third Hokage.
Including Shōji, the expressions hidden under the masks of the six team captains all have their own unique look.
"Recently, people have disappeared every once in a while in the village, and there are many of our companions among them. From ordinary Genin to Chunin, including some companions with Kekkei Genkai, there have been several disappearances. Since the beginning of this year, So far, the number of people missing accidentally in the village has almost reached three digits, and the number of Chunin victims has exceeded double digits. Lord Hokage attaches great importance to this incident. This is likely to be the destructive behavior of spies from other countries in our village."
"Lord Third ordered to find the culprit of this incident as soon as possible. In the next period of time, this will be the only mission of our team. After each class returns, they must take action immediately, but they must remember that once any clues are found, they must not act rashly and report them immediately! Do you understand?"
Zero looked at his subordinates and said with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
The six people below also responded at the same time.
At this moment, the expressions of the six people were all the same serious, but what was different from the other five was that when Shōji was serious, there was a faint strange color in the depths of his pupils.
An unexpected disappearance in the village!
'If there were no accidents, there was a high probability that it would be that person. I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing just after I took office! '
Shōji thought silently in his heart.
