Anbu base.
In Nagasawa's office.
Nagasawa noticed that Shisui did not seem to be in a good mood today. He didn't even do his job as fast as usual.
Shisui was the ideal subordinate in Nagasawa's heart, so Nagasawa would not choose to ignore him.
Nagasawa walked to Shisui's side and asked gently, "Did something happen? Why do you look so restless?"
"Commander Nagasawa, I'm sorry. It's okay, I will do my work seriously." Shisui quickly apologized.
Nagasawa laughed and patted Shisui's shoulders, "There is no need to. We have no important work today anyway. If there is anything troubling you, you can tell me.Our age is not that far apart, after all."
Perhaps it was because they were quite close to each other, so Shisui decided to open up and finally said, "Captain Nagasawa, I have to leave the training team in a few days. Third-sama felt that two months of observation was enough. He asked me to return to the squad.
Nagasawa was stunned. Only then did he remember that Shisui was actually not a member of the training team. At most, he could be considered an exchange student.
However, because Shisui worked so seriously, he forgot that Shisui was actually not a member of the training team.
Nagasawa thought for a moment and asked, "Shisui, are you willing to stay on the training team?"
Shisui nodded and said, "Of course I am. I like the training team very much."
"That will do. I will go find Third and find a way to keep you here. Shisui, you are so capable. We will have a hard time if you leave."
Shisui was only a young genius. Nagasawa thought that he couldn't bring himself to ask the Third Hokage.
However, if Minato went to ask Third for it, how could Third not let him go?
For the Third Hokage, it would not matter which Anbu Shisui joined as long as he remained in Anbu.
"Captain Nagasawa, you flatter me," Shisui said modestly, but he was happy deep down.
Being recognized by a person he respected made him feel everything he did was rewarded.
"If you have something to say again, don't hesitate to tell me. Who knows, maybe I can be of assistance." Nagasawa smiled.
He didn't like people who didn't say anything and took everything on their own.
It was fine if you could handle it, but if you stressed yourself out, what was the point?
"Yes." Shisui nodded.
"Don't shoulder everything on your own. You are only twelve years old. Some people have just graduated from Academy at this age. Why don't you try to consult me? Am I that unreliable?
"Of course not. I just can't trouble you with my own problem." Shisui stated his reason.
This was partly because of how he was raised. Because the Second Hokage has always been strict on the Uchiha, Uchiha Clan was quite poor.
Although the Second Hokage wasn't strict against Uchiha, Danzo was.
Therefore, the Uchiha Clan's situation was not much better even during the Third Hokage's reign.
As an Uchiha who grew past the narrow-mindedness of his fellow Clansmen, Shisui was sometimes tormented, especially after he joined Anbu.
He often received missions to monitor Uchiha Clan's movements.
However, as the only Uchiha who joined Anbu, the Clan also hoped that he could obtain some top-secret information.
Being torn between choosing the Village and the Clan, he didn't have anyone to turn into. He could only rely on himself, so he developed a habit of shouldering everything himself.
When Nagasawa said that he could rely on him, Shisui was really moved.
It turned out that he was only a twelve-year-old boy.
At this moment, he hoped that Uchiha Clan and the village could put away their suspicions of each other to make sure there was no case like him again.
He hoped that the next generation of the Uchiha Clan could grow as normally as other ordinary Clans in the village instead of having to choose between their village or Clan.
Anything they chose would bring them pain, and the result would only be a tragedy.
...
In the afternoon, Nagasawa was notified by Minato, so he went to the Hokage building.
After entering the office, Minato saw that it was Nagasawa, so he raised his head and smiled. "The Third is ready to transfer some of Anbu's authority to me."
"Finally, huh?" Nagasawa also laughed.
If the Fourth Hokage's Anbu grew, then the expansion of Anbu and the construction of Anbu's base could also be put on the agenda.
"But before he does, he wants to test the Fourth Hokage's Anbu." Minato continued.
"It seems that he hasn't completely trusted you. What did he propose?" Nagasawa did not care and continued to ask.
With the Third Hokage's cautious personality, it was not strange for him to make such a decision, but it was still a good thing.
"The Third wants both his Anbu and my Anbu to have joint training. Both sides will form a team, and both teams will have to steal the enemy's intel while protecting their intel, and fighting is allowed."
"I am going to send the training team. What do you think? Are you confident in them?" Minato looked at Nagasawa with a smile.
"No problem. I will definitely give Third a surprise and show them the training team's Six Powers." Nagasawa agreed.
The Fourth Hokage's Anbu now had two Divisions. The Second Division had joined the training team, so if he only sent the First Division, there might be a risk of failure.
Even if the training team members participated and failed, Nagasawa would understand. After all, most of them were new and inexperienced.
However, Nagasawa couldn't accept if the First Division participated and performed poorly, losing the authority that the Third Hokage promised.
"It's good that you are so confident. This is the detailed information." Minato handed a document to Nagasawa.
In fact, Minato was also very confident in the training team.
In the fight between Shinobi, intelligence was very important, and the Third Hokage's Anbu knew it. However, they didn't know that the training team could use Six Powers.
"Yes." Nagasawa took the information and then left.
It just so happened that the third monthly assessment was going to be held soon, so he might as well use this joint training as an assessment. If they performed poorly, he'd have to add their training menu.
After Nagasawa returned to Anbu Base, he gathered the members of the training team and announced the news that there was going to be a joint training between them and the Third Hokage'sAnbu.
"The assessment is canceled. I'll make this joint training your assessment instead. If you do not perform well, your team leaders may become even scarier during training." Nagasawa smiled.
"Commander Nagasawa, don't worry. We definitely won't let you down." A member of the training team immediately stood up.
In fact, the members of the training team were quite happy to hear this news.
As new Anbu, Anbu, they had always felt that they had been underestimated. This was a good opportunity to prove themselves.
