Konoha Hospital.

Kakashi was sitting on the bed, feeling a little anxious.

After completing the task, he was injured, so he went directly to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, the injury was more serious than he thought. After receiving treatment, he ought to rest for a day.

Normally, Kakashi wouldn’t care, but he had promised Nagasawa to master the Taijutsu that Nagasawa had given him in seven days.

That Taijutsu was unlike the Taijutsu he had learned so far. If he couldn’t master it because he was told to rest for that day, Kakashi really didn’t know what to do.

Just as Kakashi was thinking about whether he should sneak out to practice, a yellow figure walked into the ward.

Minato put the fruit he bought on the table and smiled gently. “Are you okay?”

Kakashi nodded: “It’s no big deal. Hadn’t the doctor  said that it would be better to rest for a day, I would have left already.”

“I’m going to have you join Anbu.” Minato told him his plan for Kakashi as he walked to the window of the ward, looking at the scenery outside the window.

The autumn wind blew through the curtains.

Kakashi showed a grateful look and sincerely said, “Thank you.”

He was very grateful to Nagasawa for telling him the truth. Otherwise, he would not know how much Minato cared about him.

Looking at Kakashi, who no longer buried himself in grief and self-blame, although Minato did not know what had happened, he smiled happily and said,

“It seems that you got along well with Nagasawa on this mission.”

“Uh-huh.” Kakashi nominated, “Fujiwara-san is a good senpai.”

“I’m relieved,” Minato said with satisfaction.

He was afraid that Kakashi would have some unpleasant experience with Nagasawa since he was a Jonin while Nagasawa was a Chunin. It seemed that he was worried for nothing.

On the fourth day of the escort mission, Nagasawa came to Anbu.

Today was the day the new Anbu gathered.

According to Third Hokage’s proposal, before a new base was built, the new and old Anbu could temporarily share a base.

After receiving all of Anbu’s equipment, Nagasawa first went to the hall to listen to Minato’s speech, then reported to the captain, the branch captain, and finally went to his Anbu Squad.

It was Anbu Squad no. 7 or Anbu Squad Seven.

When Nagasawa arrived, he found that there were already three people on the field, and he was the last one to arrive.

The three on the field were already wearing Anbu’s uniform and mask, so he couldn’t see their faces.

Nagasawa looked around and found that his three subordinates didn’t look like ordinary Shinobis. All of them seemed to be quite unique.

The young white-haired Kakashi had his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking like a cool and aloof teenager.

A seemingly smart Shinobi with a ponytail was leaning against the wall, and seemed to be lost in thought.

The last one wearing a dog mask was actually playing with a Ninja Dog.

“Take off your masks and introduce yourself. Tell me what you are good at.” Nagasawa said and then took off his tiger mask.

Kakashi took the lead and said, “Hatake Kakashi, I’m good at lightning-based nature attacks and swordsmanship.”

Then a teenager taller than Kakashi, a teenager with a high-top ponytail, took off his mask and said, “Ensui Nara, I’m good at Shadow techniques.”

Nagasawa was interested. Minato was so incredible that he actually found a Shinobi from Nara Clan for him.

The last person also surprised Nagasawa. It was actually a girl, and she was quite cute. There were too few female Shinobis among Anbu.

“Midori Inuzuka, likes Ninja Dogs and cooking, hates stiff person, good at tracking and Taijutsu.”

Midori Inuzuka, who had just played with a Ninja Dog in front of his superior, introduced herself without any guilt and even said too much.

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Nagasawa said, “Fujiwara Nagasawa, I’m good at Taijutsu, you can call me Fujiwara or Nagasawa, but you have to call me Quake during the mission. That’s my code name.

You can also give yourself a code name. Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to, but it’s better to have one.

Kakashi thought for a moment and said, “Then my code name is Ka.”

Nagasawa was speechless. Was he too lazy to think about it? It was no different from not having a code name.

“Shika.” Ensui Nara said.

Midori Inuzuka thought for a moment and looked at her Ninja Dog, Ashimaru, and then it was as if she had a flash of inspiration, “Let’s go with Dog.”

“Ka, deer, dog, very well. In the future, we will call each other by code names in the mission. In order to fully understand your abilities, I will spar with each of you next.” Nagasawa wanted to witness his subordinates’ abilities.

He wanted to see the extent of his subordinates’ abilities. He also planned to use this opportunity to display his power as well. After all, he ought to show his subordinates why he deserved to lead this squad

Hearing this, Kakashi’s hand that was holding the mask trembled.

He remembered Nagasawa’s terrifying pressure, as well as the punch that destroyed half of the forest.

This was not to see their abilities, but to establish his position as the leader.

After all, aside from him, the other two did not know Nagasawa’s strength at all. Moreover, since they were from respectable Clans, they would definitely do their best to assert dominance.

However, they might not see what was coming.

“Spar…” A thought flashed across Ensui Nara’s face.

After learning that he was going to join Anbu, he was actually quite surprised. When he learned that it was the Fourth Hokage who personally came to discuss his enlistment with the Nara Clan Leader, he was even more surprised.

When he saw Kakashi, he thought that Kakashi would be the Squad leader. After all, Kakashi was the Fourth’s student.

To his surprise, the Squad leader was a Shinobi that he didn’t know of and seemed very young on top of that, which surprised him.

Kakashi was an ordinary member. Shouldn’t the Squad leader be a famous Shinobi?

However, since Nagasawa was the Squad leader, Ensui believed that he must be capable. Otherwise, why would the Fourth Hokage go to Nara Clan personally?

“Isn’t this Anbu? Why do I get the feeling like this is stealing the bell test after graduation?” Midori Inuzuka stroked Ashimaru as she complained.

Nagasawa glanced at her as she seemed to get the idea.

Nagasawa said lightly, “I don’t have a bell, but this is kind of similar. It’s all to see where you’re at now.”

Kakashi looked at Midori Inuzuka with some pity in his eyes.

Good god, did this mean the beating would be even more terrifying?

Kakashi only hoped that Nagasawa could control his strength and not kill him later.

“Follow me. Let’s go to the training ground in the village. This is not a really good place.” Nagasawa said.

Kakashi put on his mask and followed Nagasawa. He was still thinking about practicing Soru.

Ensui followed closely behind while thinking about the strategy.

“Midori Inuzuka is good at Taijutsu. She will be the frontline. Then I will take the opening she makes to use Shadow Imitation Technique to stop Nagasawa’s movement. Finally, Kakashi will use Lightning Release to attack…

“Let’s go, let’s fight.” Midori Inuzuka hummed a random song, followed by a small jump.
