23 ANBU (1/2)

Today, I will be having a test for early graduation assesment, but I am not at all nervous why?, Firstly, I have memorized and I am pretty sure I can easily pass it, But in case there is any mishap AI Chip there to back me Up and I also saw, My application passed through Hokage office both Hiruzen and Danzo have shown their interest to recruit me as Tobirama's giving me his Sword did cause a much bigger wave than expected, so they also knew about me from gossips around them.

Today, I went inside The Hokage office and I wasn't surprised to see both Hiruzen and Danzo, even without the AI Chip I could roughly guess their current Strength Hiruzen has reached Lower Kage and Danzo is at least Elite Jonin level.

He had a document in front of him, which probably contained all my history.

They asked me questions about why I had to Graduate early I answered everything according to their Will Of Fire belief and after that I was supposed to have a test to attend which would include all questions of Chunnin Level and as I had done an Early Graduation I have to have a spar with a Chunnin in which I have to gain his approval.

The questions were pretty easy at least for me, but even for Genius academy student it wouldn't be easy to answer as the further the questions went the more difficult it became.

But with AI Chip I had answered all of them efficiently.

Now the spar with a Jonin was last test left for me

A Hyuga clan memeber, probably a branch house member as Hyuga considered themselves as noble clan so Main house members won't behave like this.'

"Seriously! a brat who isn't even a Genin has nerve to challenge me ."

I just snorted at him which seem to angered him.

He laughed manically and said

"Dare to be arrogant I was planning to finish this quickly, but it seems you would need some beating to fix your arrogance to respect a Jonin."

'I looked around, saw no one around me to evaluate the test, but there was an ANBU ninja observing my every actions.'

Probably report to Hokage, but as I was thinking about possible solutions the Hyuga Clan member attacked me out of blue and started using his Gentle fist to attack me on my tenketsu points.'

I easily evaded him which seem to surprise him and when I pull out my sword with fully unleashing my Killing Intent, he seem to be surprised.

"A.I. Chip! Establish Task! Analyse the opponent's strength and the surroundings to come up with the best plan to defeat him!" [Task Establishing. Beginning analysis.]

[Simulation results - Host is unwounded, target loses his ability to fight. Please confirm on whether to turn on the vision aid?]

[According to the target's reactions, there is a 85.3% chance that the first attack will be on host's right arm, most efficient way dodge left and swing the Sword at an Horizontally.]

After which I started swinging my sword and he was rendered defenceless under my Jonin Swordsman ship in less than half a minute I beat him, and he still seemed to be in a daze.

The ANBU left as soon as I finished my match.

After which the Hyuga Clan member was pulled out of his daze and quickly signed his consent, and in his eyes there was respect, as expected Only strong people are respected.

(MC POV)

After which I went to Hokage office again where this time only Hiruzen was there, and he seemed to be very happy for me but I knew his calculating character, although Sarutobi Hiruzen isn't that

ruthless one of future, but he is no fool and is starting to form good relationship with me.

I gave him ANBU recommendation letter by Tobirama, to which he seemed very surprised, I just lied to him about how Second Hokage and I met inside a forest and he saw talent in me and gave me his sword and ANBU recommendation letter.

He isn't as cunning as in future and easily believed my lie.

He told one of his subordinates ANBU to lead me inside ANBU base and I left towards the base which was surprisingly through a passage under Hokage building though not far, As soon as I went inside there were very few people, each everyone had a mask on their face.

All of them seem to be pretty experienced Ninja's, some seemed surprised while others ignored me.

As living under a mask for many years, they have learnt to mask their emotions.

Normally I have to go through a Assessment before joining ANBU but as I said before there is always a backdoor method and Tobirama Recommendation was my backdoor method.

The Lady on the Counter, talked with the ANBU guard who guided me, and he relayed relevant information and my documents to her.

After which my guide left, Another guy came wearing a mask, he spoke calmly while they were walking in the building

He introduced me to the mission counter, equipment counter and storage room.

And I had understanding of the basic structure and mechanism of the building

The Anbu department works directly under the order of the Hokage!

It's the last defense line of Konoha, and it's the right solution to deal with any kind of situation!

The official members are divided into four teams.

Each team has a captain.

these captains need to be a high-ranked Ninja and they at least need to be at the same level as a Jonin.

And above all the leaders is the Anbu commander probably a Elite Jonin level.

A complete set of an extremely perfect system.

There is 93 official member of the Anbu department.

Each one of them is an elite ninja!

Most citizens of Konoha, don't know who is an ANBU and who isn't, as it is never disclosed.

ANBU agent even have more influence than normal Jonin as ANBU ninja can ask for Hokage's audience.

After that I went to equipment counter, a female ANBU Ninja was stationed in the counter.

She checked it and gave me a new ANBU vest, then asked me to choose a mask and a codename.

I chose a Kitsune mask like Future Kakashi and my name I chose Ezio, guess you know where it comes from with all the formalities done, I will have to be assigned to ANBU squads, from which I would start as a member then according to contribution I would get referred for further promotions.

Unexpectedly, I was assigned to Root division of ANBU and my squad leader was Shimura Danzo,

I wasn't surprised as I knew Danzo has a lot of influence in ANBU and for him to assign me in his squad isn't that big of a deal.

As I explained about Teams,

One of these teams is the Root Team.

The Root team is also divided into three squads, every squad has it's own leader which is a high ranked ninja.

And Danzo is leader of the This Division.

Danzo saw me and nodded I also gave him a nod, we left for Training Ground 48 which was specially for ANBU and it was near a waterfall.

But as soon as they saw Danzo approaching they quickly stood up and saluted him.

Danzo just snorted at them and Introduced me

"This is Ezio he is our new team member and his speciality is Kenjutsu."

The other people just nodded, guess they aren't fools to blindly provoke seeing my short stature.

The others just nodded,

All of them introduced themselves, Introduced themselves not their real names but just their specialties, In total we have our team leader Danzo 1 Female Hyuga Clan member, 1 Male Sarutobi Clan member and two more Kenjutsu Specialists except me. One of them is a Girl with raven black hair and the other one is a big guy but with AI Chip I can sense he is using Transformation Jutsu and could roughly identify him.

As I was about to leave, one of my teammate, kept his hand on my shoulder, but after a Glance at him I asked "Sakumo, is that you? " although it was a question there was certainly in my voice.

Sakumo undid his Transformation Jutsu and replied with a chuckle

" I thought, that I got you"

"You are 64 years early before that could happen" I replied with my usual cold voice.

"Hahaha.." he just laughed

"Other must be waiting for us, Let's go" I left with a Body Flicker.
