Temporary Worker

"Thank you for your support, Lord Sarutobi!"

"These kids, including Yasuke, are the future hope of our village. I will definitely take good care of them!"

In the village of Konoha, there are quite a few people who can call the Fourth Hokage by name. For example, Yasuke's uncle, Nara Shikaku, and Akimichi Choza, who are close friends with the Fourth Hokage, privately refer to the Fourth Hokage as "Minato."

However, there is only one person in the entire village who can call the Fourth Hokage by name and be addressed with respect by him.

That person is the Third Hokage, who trained the Three Legendary Sannin and is known in the ninja world as the "Professor of Ninjutsu"!

As for why the Fourth Hokage needs the support of the Third Hokage to execute a plan, that involves the power distribution in Konoha during the Third Hokage's era.

During the Second Shinobi World War, when the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, died in battle and the Third Hokage succeeded him, the power of the Hokage in Konoha was at its lowest point in history.

The noble clans that founded Konoha, such as the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, controlled half of Konoha's power when the Third Hokage first took office. If the Third Hokage had not trained the Three Legendary Sannin, and if they had not been so outstanding, even with the help of his friends like Danzo Shimura, the Third Hokage might not have been able to reclaim the power that rightfully belonged to him from the noble clans.

When the Fourth Hokage took office, the situation became even more complex.

The Senju Clan had disappeared from the stage of history, but hadn't the Three Sannin also left Konoha?

With noble clans like the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan vying for power in the forefront, and the Konoha Council, which had previously assisted the Third Hokage in seizing power but later sought to usurp his own power, lurking in the background, the Fourth Hokage's power in Konoha was significantly weakened. So, despite the Fourth Hokage's great prestige in Konoha, he needed the Third Hokage's approval for any major plan, in order to overcome opposition and implement it smoothly.

Looking at the delighted Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage sighed deeply.

At this moment, only the Third Hokage knew the extent of the sacrifices he had made for the Fourth Hokage.

However, when the Third Hokage's gaze fell on Yasuke, a faint smile finally appeared on his previously troubled face.

"Minato is right. As long as new seeds sprout and bear fruit, any sacrifice is worth it."

"Nara Yasuke, I hope Minato has not misjudged you!"

"After all, Minato's plan revolves around you!"

Thinking this to himself, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage both disappeared from the scene.

Meanwhile, Yasuke naturally couldn't sense the presence of such powerful figures as the Third and Fourth Hokage. After all, they were renowned Kage-level ninjas, while Yasuke was at best an elite genin!

His somewhat stern gaze fell on the ANBU with the pig-face mask.

When Yasuke used techniques that both the Third and Fourth Hokage considered perfect to force the three ANBU before him to stop their antics, the three ANBU, having been defeated by Yasuke, surrendered without any complaint.

Unexpectedly, while the three ANBU fighting Yasuke surrendered, the one fighting Guy Sensei became even more aggressive!

It was as if they were in a race.

Almost at the moment Yasuke defeated the three ANBU, the one fighting Guy Sensei became serious, targeting all of Guy Sensei's vital points in his attacks, making it seem less like a test and more like a real battle!

Seeing that Guy Sensei was in some danger, Yasuke frowned and prepared to intervene.

But to Yasuke's surprise, just as he was about to help Guy Sensei, Guy Sensei noticed his movement and shouted:

"Yasuke, don't help me!"

"This is my contest with Kakashi, don't interfere!"

Kakashi?

Hearing Guy Sensei's shout, Yasuke was taken aback, clearly not expecting that there would be a famous character like Kakashi among these attacking ANBU.

Releasing the few ANBU he had restrained and ignoring their hurried departure, Yasuke focused all his attention on the fight between Guy Sensei and Kakashi, while silently admiring, "Hatake Kakashi is really impressive! Guy Sensei's taijutsu has long surpassed that of an ordinary chūnin, yet Kakashi is holding his own using only taijutsu. It seems he hasn't entirely relied on his Sharingan yet!"

"Hm?"

"Sigh, Guy Sensei, what a pity!"

While silently evaluating Kakashi's strength, Yasuke didn't expect Guy Sensei to ultimately fall just short and lose to Kakashi.

But even in defeat, Guy Sensei remained as optimistic as ever.

Then, extending his right hand to Kakashi, Guy Sensei clearly intended to make a reconciliatory gesture after his defeat.

However, what made Yasuke furious was that not only did Kakashi ignore Guy Sensei's friendly gesture, but he also disdainfully glanced at Yasuke.

Especially after noticing that the ANBU who had previously lost to Yasuke had all left, Kakashi snorted coldly and said in a disdainful tone, "What a bunch of failures, running away as soon as they lose, without even the courage to face defeat!"

Then, looking at Yasuke with cold eyes, Kakashi asked directly, "You are Nara Yasuke, right?"

"Yes, I am!"

"What, do you want to challenge me?"

Everyone has their limits, and Yasuke, who is naturally direct, was no exception!

Geniuses can be proud, but there are limits to that pride!

At this moment, Kakashi's arrogance was like a group taunt, making even the usually good-natured Guy Sensei awkwardly scratch his nose, and Yasuke quite angry.

Unfortunately, when it came to angering others, Yasuke wasn't very skilled.

As for Kakashi, he completely ignored Yasuke's words, continuing to look coldly into Yasuke's angry eyes, and said to himself, "You are Minato-sensei's student, so you should address me as 'senpai' from now on. This test is considered passed for both you and Guy Sensei. Report to Training Ground 8 tomorrow."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'm leaving now!"

"Remember, don't be late! Even as a trainee ANBU, you must follow ANBU rules. Mistakes will lead to punishment!"

Whoosh!

Before Yasuke could respond, Kakashi's figure vanished from the spot.

As for Guy Sensei, he didn't mind Kakashi's bad attitude at all. Hearing that they had qualified as trainee ANBU, he was so excited that he hugged Yasuke and wouldn't let go.

And Yasuke?

Looking at the jubilant Guy Sensei, his mind was filled with complaints!

"Bah! Trainee ANBU?"

"It's just a temporary position!"
