Chereads / The Shadow of Konoha / Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: The Birth of the Third Eye

Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: The Birth of the Third Eye

Sansho took Hanyu to a room inside the underground space. After opening the door, with the help of the dim light, Hanyu saw the masks hanging on all four walls... Of course, these were not Uzumaki's masks, but masks of the Anbu.

When something requires a person to wear a mask to do something, then that thing must be secret and cannot be seen in public.

"Choose one." Sansho said.

Hanyu glanced casually at the wall, then reached out and took off the mask that was closest to him and easiest to take off... He had no aesthetic or ugliness needs, and the mask was just an appearance. What was more important than this appearance was his identity as a dark figure.

Sansho took the mask and took a look at it. She saw an exaggerated round eye painted in the middle of the pure white mask, and other than that it had no eye holes. Then she tried to cover her face with the mask, and only then did she discover that where the eye holes should have been, there were actually two single-sided crystals of the same color as the outer color of the mask. The owner of the mask could see outside through the crystals, but the enemy could not see his eyes.

"Good choice." Sansho put down the mask, and then helped to pick a code name for the Anbu based on the Hanyu profile that had been prepared...

"Third eye."

That's what she wrote. The code name didn't really matter, but when Hanyu looked at the name that Sansho helped him get, it sounded like "ascension".

Well, the so-called ascension definitely does not mean flying freely, it just means burping...

Well, you must be so self-soothing.

"Do you have to carry two swords now?" Sansho asked Hanyu again.

"Not necessarily. One of them can be said to be just a spare." Hanyu said honestly. He couldn't even use one sword well, let alone two.

"Then take off the one behind you for now."

Hanyu followed his instructions and took off the dagger hanging upside down behind him. He also took out the flattened special kunai on his body... He would not carry these tools with his identity when performing Anbu missions, and he had to .

No matter it is a mask, a code name or something else, everything is for the purpose of the Anbu to hide the actual identity. Especially when doing dirty work within the village, no one will reveal their true identity.

There are factors that prevent retaliation, as well as factors that reduce public opinion and one's own psychological pressure.

After registering, Hanyu took the mask again and tried to put it on his face. He was a little uncomfortable with it for the first time... Normal people would feel uncomfortable if they suddenly covered their faces with a mask. In the end, it was Sansho who reached out to help him put it on and adjusted the mask.

At this time, Hanyu finally realized that his hair seemed a little long, and even the mask was difficult to tie on his head... With his experience over the years, he has always been unkempt, and messy hair is his typical symbol. After all, as a homeless person, who can ask him to be neat?

For a man who can't even afford enough food and clothing, he can't care about his manners even if he wants to, so his sloppy habits continue.

In fact, under his messy hair, he has always hidden a handsome face of a young man: if he says how good-looking he is, it sounds a bit narcissistic, but if anyone criticizes him for being ugly, it would be a bit conscienceless.

To some extent, ninjas are like workers working in a workshop full of various transmission belts. If they did not want to live too long, they would never keep long hair... Do you really think that when you fight with the enemy, the enemy will not pull your hair?

Based on this theory, there is a common sense that "the stronger the ninja, the longer the hair" - because some ninjas are indeed qualified to be so extravagant. People like the first generation or Madara can let their hair grow as long as they want.

But Hyuga is definitely not included. Most Hyuga ninjas have long straight black hair. However, the strength of most Hyuga ninjas is not enough to support their hairstyle. Except for sometimes allowing the enemy to misjudge their gender and say compliments like "You are such a pretty girl", the iconic long hair is useless.

Even on the battlefield, the Byakugan ninja not only needs to protect his Byakugan, but also his hairline.

Hanyu didn't want to be grabbed by the hair and beaten. Just imagine that he quickly flashed to the enemy with a "shadow", and then was forced to brake by someone grabbing his hair... That would be a stupid way to die.

He thought that if necessary, he could shave his head completely. Becoming bald would make one stronger. This statement was true for professional ninjas who placed extreme emphasis on speed and agility. Even the bald first generation ninjas were 0.1 percentage points more powerful than the other first generation ninjas.

While he was daydreaming about this, Hanyu saw Sansho casually stuffing his ANBU information into a drawer, and with a quick glance, he found that the drawer was filled with piles of the same things.

"Sansho sensei ...are you just placing the information of ANBU ninjas here so casually?"

Logically speaking, this is information that only the Hokage can master. If it is left randomly, the confidentiality is too poor. If Hanyu is a spy from some village, he can easily deal with Sansho at this time and escape with this information.

The Anbu are the closest guards around the Hokage. If the true identities of these guards fall into the hands of the enemy, and then the enemy "follows the map" and controls one of them... there are no need to say what the consequences will be.

"Why, do you want to take a look?" Sansho asked with a smile. The Anbu's data protection method was naturally very strict, but there was no need to explain this to Hanyu.

But her joke was not funny, and Hanyu quickly shook his head. As he had said before, he had never complained that he had lived too long.

During this period of time, the size of the Anbu has been rapidly expanding, with the Uchiha as an opportunity, and now Hanyu is just being added in. Wartime is different from peacetime. Only in extremely urgent times will all the Anbu gather together, otherwise they will be active on the battlefield as ordinary ninjas.

The Anbu are dedicated to guarding the Hokage and are not responsible for other tasks. They only appear in stable and peaceful times.

"That's no problem. Go inside and I'll assign you detailed tasks next." After checking Hanyu's appearance again and finding no notable features, Sansho said to him.

"Yes, teacher."

"Wait a minute...you were fighting in the front-line hospital last night. Is Kai okay?" But then Sansho called him again before Hanyu left. In the end, she couldn't help but ask this question.

"Eh?" Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then said truthfully, "I saw him this morning. He was slightly injured, but it's definitely no big deal."

Kai is Koga, and Hanyu remembers that his full name or code name is "Koga Kai".

After hearing what Hanyu said, Sansho's expression relaxed.

You see, Mr. Sansho's aesthetic sense is still very normal.
