I smiled and asked"Yes I'm fine as even if it lessen my chances to survive, it will also help hone my skills. The proof is that inmore than four years I evolved my sharingan two times, and the only the first day on war I evolved my sharingan one time. By the way is there a special hierarchy in anbu ?" Father was a bit shocked by what I said but still responded"Yes there is. First you need to know no anbu work alone. All the anbu work in teams of six, with five "normal" anbu and an anbu captain. But most of the time the mission are only assigned to two people.. These anbu leaders take direct order from the anbu commander, who takes orders only from Lord Hokage himself. So even if the Hokage means the shadow of Konoha, the real shadow is the anbu commander."
I asked a bit confused"Then is the anbu commander stronger than the Hokage ? And in which team am I going in ?" He eyed me and said" You are going in team Ka, I am it's captain, and Dan is a member of the team. You will meet the other members tomorrow. There will be a mission to test you as normally there is a mission of approbation but as you already proved yourself yesterday you don't need it. Oh and the three other member are still chunnin and one of them is still in approbation, nut the other two are great in combat. Individualy you would beat the crap out of them but if they gang up on you then it would be fifty-fifty. Your brother is now stronger than you as even if in ninja arts you are better than him by a small margin, his surpass you by far with his mangekou."
I then said as I knew he wanted me to"And you father, are you the strongest ?" Yes I guessed it right as he beamed proudly"I , even if I still did not unlock the mangekyou sharingan, I know perfectly the anatomie of the human body, and thus all it's weak point. I also know a bit of iryojutsu. I am also way more experienced than yoyou would not be able to fight at your maximum..."As he said that I felt a wave of killing intent so thick that I would have fainted if I did not fought yesterday. It disapeared as quick as it came. I said"How many people did you kill to have this kind of killing intent ? Even special jonin from yesterday did only have a killing intent as strong as mine."
He tried to appear mysterious but failed"Just know that I am quite old, I fought in the first Shinobi war, and is stronger than those three sannin and that white fang, although they all are young and will undoubtedly become stronger than me, especially that White Fang. A pity he did not want to join anbu… Well I disgress, only that to tell you that I am stronger. There is something else you need to know, if you ever meet Hanzo the dei-god, flee as if the sannin became what they are, it is not because they are as strong as him, but because he feared Konoha. He may be stronger than the Kages individually, just the cooperation of the commander and the hokage would be enough to kill him."
I nodded understanding this."Anything else ?" He nodded and gave me an uniform and a dog mask. Father said solenmly"From now on, you are no longer my son and Fish's brother, you are Cat. Know that you will not be well received as you take the place of a fallen man, Dan's best friend. He died yesterday."He was a bit contradictory in his words but I understand."Go sleep, you need to rest for tommorow."He then departed with my brother and I stood there looking at m uniform in though. I departed to go to bed.
I woke up the next morning and after a quick shower went to the training area. As always I first trained my power and started working on the second phase of my Elemental Coating : That is to add the whole element to the object. For exemple, if I fill a weopon with fire chakra, the strikes of the weapon would be increased in power, and also create fire on the attacked area, and if I slashed the air, it would make fire. The weapon would not have fire on it, making it unexpected. I do not know what the result of the other elements will be. I only know about fire because it is evident. But this is not the biggest advancement, as I also will be able to apply it to my body.
The fire may be easiest to comprehend, but I still did not succeed when my father went to pick me up. He made the signs for me to change and come to the outskirts of the forest. I quickly went to my tent and changed myself. After I was done I body Flickered to the meeting point. I sensed one man behind me attack with a sword, aiming for my heart. I jumped down making the attack fail, and warped my legs against the torso of my attacker. But even if I already filled my pants with earth chakra to make sure I would not be harmed, I did not twist my legs to kill the man. I already guessed that he was not an ennemy. Judging from his power, he should be that chunnin still in approbation.
I heard my father say"Mouse ! If you want to make it in anbu you need to take control of your emotions !" with that said, I saw four men come out of a hiding. The four of them had the exact same uniform as me, but they had different mask. One had a fish so he was Dan, two had the same one, tiger, only one had a red mark on the left and the other a blue one on the right, they should be twins or work very well together, and that leaves the dumb looking panda. I though the mask needed to be fear inducing… Well he is a weirdo anyway.
Panda said"So, I see you already met Mouse, Cat. This is Fish, Blue Tiger, Red Tiger, and I am your captain Panda."
