Yuhi

"Kazuya-kun, thanks to you, I got promoted too!" Kurenai smiled and handed over the teacup.

"Oh?" Kazuya turned sideways, slightly surprised, and took the hot teacup.

"The order just arrived. You were promoted to the sub-captain of Anbu's second team, and I took over your previous position."

"So that's the case. Kurenai, you have to keep working hard!"

"Of course... I joined Anbu just to follow in your footsteps and become an excellent ninja. I will work hard!" Yuhi Kurenai clenched her fists, full of vitality. At 18 years old, she still had the pure and lovely temperament of a girl.

"And my father said so," Kurenai added shyly, her voice trembling. "Kazuya-kun, you have done so much for the Yuhi family, and I will definitely repay you."

"Senior Shinku is also my companion! It's what I should do." Kazuya waved his hand dismissively.

"Kazuya-kun, you are indeed a kind and gentle person!" Kurenai got up and blinked her eyes. "Then I will go train too!"

"Good." Kazuya watched Kurenai Yuhi walk away, feeling a bit amused.

Even in the ninja world, people are very realistic. If the benefactor is handsome, there's nothing to repay him with but a promise to stand by him. If he were ugly, the girl might only consider repaying the kindness in another life.

"Women are so realistic!" Kazuya sighed inwardly. Fortunately, he wasn't bad-looking. Like his second assistant and Madara, he could be considered a handsome man.

For the rest of the time, Kazuya sat by the training ground, holding a teacup and daydreaming. The Anbu ninjas who were training found it a bit strange that the newly appointed sub-captain seemed so leisurely, but no one said anything. Everyone knew Sub-Captain Kazuya had just been discharged from the hospital and was still feeling unwell. It was understandable to take a break.

What the Anbu ninjas didn't know was that Kazuya's perspective was entirely different from theirs. He sat on the sidelines, drinking tea leisurely, while golden light occasionally flew towards him.

[You picked up 50 battle experience points]

[You picked up 50 points of Chakra]

[You picked up 40 points of Chakra]

[You picked up 100 points of Body Replacement Technique skill experience]

[You picked up 50 points of physical talent]

[You picked up 100 points of Body Flicker Technique skill experience]

...

The Anbu ninjas training would occasionally emit golden light, which Kazuya directly absorbed. The golden light within 100 meters was picked up automatically, which was very convenient.

Two hours later, Kazuya had picked up hundreds of golden lights. For Chakra alone, he gained 3000 points, thousands of combat experience points, 400 points of physical talent, and so on. Now, Kazuya's physical talent was only 500 points away from the full level! The stronger the talent, the stronger the corresponding skill.

"I wonder if I can surpass Might Guy in melee combat once my physical talent is maxed out..." Kazuya pondered. For now, it shouldn't be a problem. However, considering Guy from the Fourth Great Ninja War, that might be a different story. But Kazuya wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time. As long as he picked up enough attributes, he could surpass anyone, even Kaguya!

Soon, Anbu's daily training ended. The ninjas either rested or went on missions. Kazuya sighed. Good times were always short. It was a pity that Anbu's daily training primarily focused on Taijutsu, Three Body Technique, and ninjutsu, with little emphasis on actual ninjutsu practice. This was understandable; using ninjutsu indoors would cause too much damage and be difficult to clean up. Therefore, Kazuya didn't pick up much golden light related to ninjutsu and bloodline limits.

"It seems that we need to organize some actual combat training when we have the chance," Kazuya thought. As the sub-captain of Anbu, he had four teams and sixteen ninjas under him. These were opportunities for experience that shouldn't be wasted.

For the next two days, Kazuya was busy taking over duties in Anbu. The responsibilities of the Anbu sub-captain were indeed complicated. It took him more than a day to sort out the affairs left by his predecessor.

"No wonder Naruto was often away from home for weeks after becoming Hokage..." Life is not easy, Kazuya sighed.

However, no matter how busy he was, he always found time to visit Anbu's training ground. The golden light dropped by the ninjas had a time limit of 30 minutes. After that, it would disappear. Kazuya didn't intend to waste those golden lights; he had to pick them up as much as possible.

Thus, the Anbu ninjas training daily often saw Sub-Captain Kazuya visiting the training ground. When he noticed some non-standard movements, he would casually offer guidance.

"Sub-Captain Kazuya seems to care about us!" Uzuki Yugao said excitedly. She admired Kazuya after learning about his bravery during the Nine-Tails attack.

"Hmph..." Hayate Gekko, standing nearby, had a gloomy face. Seeing his childhood friend Yugao admire another man made him uncomfortable. However, since Kazuya was their team leader, Hayate didn't dare express his dissatisfaction.
