A Cheng pushed open the door, and inside sat a purple-haired woman wearing a mask.
"Hey, isn't this our busy Shinsei? What brings you to the Anbu? Is there something you need to tell this little ninja?"
A Cheng glanced at Shien's chest and said, "Sister Shien, you're not small at all."
Shien looked surprised and said strangely, "Oh, you've really gotten more powerful! You actually dared to flirt with me. Maybe I should ask for leave right now."
Sister, I'll take you to a hot spring, stay at a hotel, and then teach you some fun games!
A Cheng nodded and surprisingly agreed, "Okay! Let's go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, A Cheng realized: Shinsei wouldn't just agree like that.
What's going on? Why did I agree so instinctively? Was I influenced by Obito Uchiha's lecherous genes?
Shien Kite burst into laughter, clutching her stomach with one hand and her chest with the other, laughing so hard she almost fell over. After a while, she finally said with a smile:
"What a pity you're not Shinsei, otherwise I would have really fallen for you. How dare you show up in the Anbu looking like Shinsei? Tell me, what's your relationship with Shinsei?"
"Can't you tell, Sister Shien? I'm a clone of Shinsei. This body is a combination of the two founding clans of Konoha — the Senju and the Uchiha —and I have extremely noble bloodlines."
Looking at A Cheng's face, Shien smiled and said, "He is quite handsome! He's more delicate than Shinsei, and he's also a top-tier looker."
My sister will never have the chance to eat Shinsei in this lifetime, so I dare not share the same fate with her...
Shien quickly stopped herself from saying anything more, and continued, "Eating his clone wouldn't be bad, would it? So, are you still going? I consider you my Shinsei."
A Cheng shrugged and said with a smile, "Let's forget about it. Let's wait until I've truly won over Sister Shien before we play those fun games together."
Shien smiled so much her eyes narrowed, and replied, "Okay! I'm looking forward to your move!"
A burly man wearing a mask walked into the room. He saw A Cheng and asked with a smile:
"Assistant, what brings you here to visit us Anbu Ninja today? Your presence has made this room feel so much more special."
A Cheng still wanted to use Shinsei's identity, but unexpectedly, the burly man let out a sound of surprise and leaned close to A Cheng's face:
"You're not Shinsei! Who are you? How dare you use Shinsei's appearance here? What's your relationship with him?"
A Cheng clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of an elite member of the Anbu, you recognized me immediately."
Tell me, I look almost exactly like Shinsei, so why were you both able to recognize me so quickly?
Shien replied, "Me? It's very simple. No handsome guy can escape my eyes. Even if there are only slight differences, I can clearly distinguish each and every one of them."
"You and Shinsei are both very good-looking, of course I can tell you apart."
A Cheng looked at the burly man. "And you, Giant Beast, you don't also like looking at handsome guys, do you?"
The Giant Beast stroked its hair, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Because you're not as strong as Shinsei. Although I can't see the difference in your appearances, Shinsei's strength terrifies me, but I don't feel that way when I'm with you."
"I see."
A Cheng nodded, then explained his identity to the Giant Beast, and said to the two of them, " Sasuke has left your team. Because your team is quite strong, we haven't had a suitable replacement, so I came to the Anbu for training and chose your team."
After all, this was the team Shinsei had been in.
The Giant Beast hesitated for a moment before saying, "I understand your relationship with Shinsei. Logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse the task assigned by the assistant, nor do I have any reason to refuse."
But because we have a good relationship with Shinsei, we don't want anything to happen to you.
Before you join the team, I'd like to know what your abilities are.
"I have the blood of the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan, is that enough?"
The Giant Beast shook its head and replied, "Not enough. Bloodline only indicates that your potential is high, but it cannot be used as a basis for your current strength."
"I can easily awaken the Sharingan. If I join you, you'll have an Uchiha Clan teammate."
The Giant Beast shook its head and said, "It's still not enough. The stronger your bloodline, the less I want anything to happen to you."
I heard Shinsei can bring everyone back to life within an hour, but we often need to leave the village for missions, and an hour is simply not enough time. By the time Shinsei finds out, your body will probably be rotting away.
"I have Shinsei's complete cultivation memories, is that enough?"
The Giant Beast suddenly stood up, bowed forward, and stretched out its hands to grasp A Cheng's right hand:
"You absolutely must join our team. Our team will regret it for the rest of our lives without you."
A Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "I only possess Shinsei's cultivation memories. I was just born yesterday, and I don't have much Chakra left in my body. I'll definitely hold you back."
Should I choose another team instead?
The Giant Beast stood up and said sincerely, "No, no, no! You possess Shinsei's cultivation memories, and you will surely become a strong one."
Shinsei has given us so much help; it would be my lifelong regret if I couldn't repay him. Please, you absolutely must choose our team."
A Cheng rummaged through his memories to recall the so-called help that Shinsei had given them.
It turns out that Shinsei selectively distributed a portion of the excess Hashirama Cells fluid as a reward for the Anbu.
Among them were the Giant Beast and the Shien, which is why they were able to stand out from the many Anbu squads and become a squad with the strength of elite Jonin.
Basically, the tasks that could be assigned to them were all extremely difficult, which was why the Giant Beast initially rejected A Cheng.
He genuinely didn't want this clone, which clearly had consumed a lot of resources, to be destroyed during the mission.
To be fair, the Giant Beast knew that Shinsei was extremely strong, but as for mission experience... well, Shinsei is extremely strong.
" Giant Beast you're so sincerely inviting me, then I'll choose to join this team."
Shien Kite giggled, "That's great! With such a handsome guy like you joining us, my mood has improved a lot. I don't have to face a violent muscleman Tenten anymore."
The Giant Beast retorted defiantly, "That's because you don't understand the beauty of muscles. Look at my pectoral muscles, my abs."
Shien Kite nodded in agreement, saying, "It's pretty good, but it's a pity the face is a bit ugly."
This decisive blow completely silenced the Giant Beast, leaving him only able to sit dejectedly in his chair.
Although A Cheng possesses Shinsei's memories, they are merely glimpses from afar, not genuine emotions.
But seeing the two of them joking around now, a feeling suddenly welled up inside me.
It feels really good to be human!
I really have to congratulate myself! I'm alive again!
A feeling of joy filled his heart.
Suddenly he felt a soreness in his eyes, Chakra in his body began to surge towards his eyes.
Shien gasped in surprise, pointing a finger at his eyes.
A Cheng hurriedly took the makeup mirror from Shien and looked at his eyes.
In each of her red eyes was a black Tomoe, slowly rotating within them.
I've had my eyes opened!
