"Isn't this good?"
Hyuga Wuye tried hard to hold back his laughter, keeping a straight face.
Hatake Sakumo held the mask and stammered, "It's not bad, exactly. It's just... just..."
"Don't Anbu masks usually have the faces of carnivores?" Kakashi gave Hyuga Wuye a deadpan stare. "At the very least, Dad and I should get lions or tigers, shouldn't we?"
Wuye stroked Kaguya's snowy hair and said meaningfully, "You two are important figures in the Anbu. Everyone else wears foxes and such, but if you wore lions, wouldn't you be openly telling everyone that you were important? What if you got assassinated?"
"So you gave us sheep?"
Kakashi continued rolling his dead eyes.
"Pfft..."
Terumi Mei and Mikoto lowered their heads, desperately holding back their laughter as their delicate shoulders trembled nonstop.
"Yes, sheep look very docile. The enemy will subconsciously let down their guard, and even the slightest bit of carelessness could be the key to victory."
Hyuga Wuye spouted nonsense with a perfectly serious expression.
He would never tell the father and son that he had chosen sheep masks only because their white hair looked so much like sheep's wool...
White hair and white hair could be very different. Kaguya's smooth, snowy hair was something he could not get enough of, but when it came to the kind of white hair Kakashi, his father, or Jiraiya had, all he felt was the urge to mess it up.
In any case, he was the Hokage now, so Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi could only accept it.
"Hokage-sama, all ten measures are currently being implemented quite well."
After a while, the Ino–Shika–Cho trio—Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi—arrived to report on their work.
For now, they were considered Wuye's personal advisors. Their duties were to make proposals and conduct inspections.
