Lin Ze, who was standing in the front row, secretly said, "Sure enough."
He always remembered that there was a "Guide Jōnin" on the ANBU notice that day. When he came to ANBU, he felt strange when he found about 400 Candidate.
He found that even if ten people were paired with one instructor Jōnin, 40 Jōnin would be needed.
But this is obviously impossible. You must know that there are only about 200 Jōnins in Konoha, and there are 40 Jōnins in ANBU. Lin Ze thinks it is reasonable, but these Jōnin still need to leave the village or even go abroad to do various tasks. Obviously it is impossible for them all to be the "guidance Jōnin".
'It seems they are the real Candidate.'
Lin Ze secretly thought in his heart, there is an assessment every three months, 10 people pass, 30 people will be selected and become the real ANBU Candidate, and these talents have "guidance Jōnin".
There are exactly three candidates paired with one instructor, Jōnin, to form a class.
There are a total of 30 candidates ANBU and 10 guides Jōnin.
And these guides Jōnin, Lin Ze think that they should go out to work and return to the village for shifts, and guide these newcomers by the way, or to be this guide Jōnin is also a task.
What's interesting is that, except for Lin Ze, the ten people who passed the assessment this time were all among the 30 people selected three months ago.
As for the more than 300 people who have just failed the assessment, 401 to 600 means that they still need to wait for the next assessment opportunity, while 201 to 400 will forever lose the qualification to become the official ANBU.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Shinobi World war will break out in the future, and ANBU will be temporarily selected. After all, compared to other Konoha Ninja who have not received special training from ANBU, they will be more suitable in terms of background and strength.
So in Lin Ze's opinion, this ANBU training is more like a more advanced place for Konoha Ninja to study after the Ninja Academy graduates, similar to high school and university in his previous life.
But fortunately, Lin Ze successfully passed the assessment, and these have nothing to do with him. Now he just wants to take on a few simple tasks after joining the job, and then return to Orphanage to develop Devil Fruit Powers.
After the announcement, Instructor Ying did not say any more nonsense and directly ordered the disbandment.
Those who pass the assessment and obtain the qualification to guide Jōnin can take a day off and report the day after tomorrow; others will directly return to the ANBU base to stand by.
Lin Ze dragged his still aching body and immediately left Forest of Death, a place that made him feel depressed.
He did not go back to ANBU dormitory, but walked straight in the direction of Orphanage.
Three months of high-pressure training and cruel assessments made him miss that simple but warm place.
Along the way, Lin Ze thought about the assessment just now.
At first, he was murmuring in his heart. He was hiding so well that the examiners shouldn't have noticed his traces. Unexpectedly, he met another Uchiha this time.
However, No. 369, who was knocked unconscious by him, didn't take Lin Ze's mind even though he was named Uchiha.
This was ANBU's official assessment, with the entire process monitored. Moreover, Lin Ze warned him three times in a row, and the subsequent actions were all within the rules.
Not to mention just breaking the opponent's face, even if you kill the person on the spot, it is still within the rules.
If Uchiha Clan really dares to cause trouble for Lin Ze in this matter, it is not trouble for Lin Ze, it is trouble for Third Hokage--Hiruzen Sarutobi!
When Lin Ze pushed open the familiar courtyard door of Orphanage, the setting sun just filled the small courtyard.
"Lin Ze brother!"
Five-year-old Yumi was the first to spot him and rushed over quickly. Next to her, Ayumi, who was the same age as her, also followed him with big round eyes.
Miyamoto Ichirō and Rei Uesugi also gathered around and asked all kinds of questions.
"Lin Ze, you are back!"
"It's been a long time since I've been there this time!"
"Is training hard?"
Looking at the concerned faces of several people and the greetings in their eyes, Lin Ze felt that all the fatigue in his body seemed to have dissipated a lot.
He rubbed the hair of Yumi and Ayumi, and showed a faint but extremely real smile to them:
"Well, I'm back."
At the same time.
Within Hokage Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi put down Pipe in his hand, picked up the assessment report just sent by ANBU, and read it carefully.
Nara Luhong stood quietly in front of the desk, waiting for his instructions. (Modify a bit, Shikaku Nara is the same age as Minato Namikaze, and is now about 18, so it is changed to his father Nara Luhong)
When he saw the part about the fight between Lin Ze and Uchiha En, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but say "Oh?" softly.
"Lu Hong, what do you think?" He handed over the report.
Nara Luhong took the report and browsed it quickly.
When he saw Lin Ze activate "Fourth Gate·Gate of Pain" and defeat Uchiha En with Special Jōnin's strength with one punch, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Special Jōnin, who can activate Gate of Pain at the age of seven, and can defeat Uchiha Clan head-on..." Nara Luhong put down the report and touched his chin, "This kid's growth rate is much faster than we expected."
Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.
It has only been more than five months since Lin Ze won the first place in the Ninja Academy assessment. Lin Ze has grown from a Chunin to a head-on victory over Special Jōnin, and its strength has increased very quickly.
He even mentioned in his heart that Vice Admiral Lin Ze was on the same level as Kakashi.
You must know that Kakashi is Chunin who was promoted not long after graduation last year. Now, at most, his strength is about 50-50 equal to that of Lin Ze, and he may not even be able to beat Lin Ze, although Kakashi is one year younger than Lin Ze.
But this does not affect the speed at which Lin Ze's status in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart rises like a rocket.
It's a pity--Lin Ze is an outsider after all.
Nara Luhong suggested. "Uzumaki Clan's physique... is that strong? Do you want to check it out?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath of cigarette and slowly exhaled. "No, Lin Ze is the child who inherited Will of Fire."
He recalled the excited eyes of Lin Ze standing next to him when school started, as well as the good relationship between Lin Ze and Yakushi Nonō, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma and others recorded in the file.
And in his eyes, Lin Ze is just a Taijutsu genius after all. Ninjutsu's talent is low but his upper limit is not high.
Even if Lin Ze can open Eight Gates Released Formation to Eighth Gate·Gate of Death in the future, it doesn't matter, that kind of life-threatening move, It is impossible for Lin Ze to come and trade with him, but if it is just Seventh Gate·Gate of Wonder, Konoha and so many Ninja are not vegetarians.
What's more, why go to all the trouble to check Lin Ze?
No matter how strong his physique is, can he be stronger than First Hokage Hashirama Senju?
At present, Konoha and even Kekkei Genkai of Wood Release have not been successfully reproduced. There is really no spare time to investigate a Uzumaki collateral branch.
If you have to study the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, wouldn't you just study Kushina directly?
Compared to Lin Ze, Kushina, who is an orthodox Uzumaki Clan person and also a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is undoubtedly a better and safer research subject.
Unless--Lin Ze reveals a new Kekkei Genkai.
