During the three days of waiting for news from Minato, Nagase was familiarizing himself with the power of the Whitebeard template.
In order to fully exert the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he even went out of the village.
At present, the only thing he doesn’t know the specific effect of is the domineering color.
Due to time constraints, he did not find any rebel ninjas or the like, but only found a group of bandits, so he did not know the effect of the Conqueror's Haki on ninjas for the time being.
He also discovered an unexpected surprise. Perhaps because his body had become stronger, he could now refine chakra much faster than before.
Nagase did not completely give up on the path of chakra. After all, the upper limit of chakra is very high. The existence of Six Paths level is stronger than the middle-aged Whitebeard!
While Nagase was refining his chakra, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
An ANBU ninja wearing an animal mask walked in and said, "The Yondaime-sama asked you to go to the Hokage's office."
Yongze thought to himself that it had finally arrived and nodded.
… …
… …
Nagase walked into the office, and Namikaze Minato, who had been prepared, handed Nagase a document.
"Since it is the Sandaime who voluntarily abdicated this time, the situation is different from when the Sandaime took over as Hokage. I'm afraid I can't let you become captain directly." Namikaze Minato said apologetically.
Originally, he planned to let Yongze be the captain directly, and then promote him to deputy captain and captain after he made meritorious service.
But the situation was a little more complicated than he had imagined, and his power as the Hokage was not as great as he had imagined.
Nagasawa flipped through the information Minato gave him and frowned.
This is a document about "the Sandaime helping the Fourth Hokage establish a new Anbu".
In other words, the Sandaime did not give the command of the Anbu to Minato, but "helped" Minato establish a new Anbu.
Nagase couldn't help but express his admiration for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Because this seems unreasonable, but it actually complies with Konoha's regulations.
The Anbu is an extremely special department. It reports directly to the Hokage and does not take orders from any other department.
However, since the Anbu was established by the second generation, and the third generation succeeded the second generation because the second generation died in battle, it was natural for the third generation to inherit the Anbu.
But now the third generation is not dead, so theoretically he still has control over the Anbu.
The last Hokage is still the Hokage.
The Third Generation will send a deputy captain and two teams of Anbu ninja to help Minato build the new Fourth Generation Anbu.
"Help with the construction? I think it's more like sidelining you." Yongze threw the information on the table and said sarcastically.
One Anbu team consists of seventeen people, and two teams consist of thirty-two people. Minato's new Anbu cannot recruit many people in a short time, and basically most of the positions will be occupied by Anbu ninjas who come to "help".
"After all, I am still too young. It's normal for the Third Generation to be worried." Minato was still optimistic.
Becoming the village Kage in his early twenties, and not because of unexpected circumstances, is truly a first in the ninja world.
"In that case, let me start as the most ordinary ANBU member to avoid rumors like 'the Fourth Hokage is nepotism'." Nagase said with a smile.
He was sure that if he dared to become the captain directly, Danzo would not let go of this opportunity.
Because Nagase is an ordinary Chunin and has no outstanding achievements.
There are still many people in the village who disagree with Minato becoming Hokage, believing that he is too young to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
If there is news that an ordinary Chunin is appointed as the captain of the Anbu, it will be a bit bad.
Minato thought about it, then shook his head and said, "In that case, you should start as squad leader. I can still make the decision on this."
Yongze didn't act pretentiously and nodded in agreement.
The Anbu squad consists of four people, which means there are only three subordinates.
Namikaze Minato took out a piece of paper from the drawer, wrote something on it, and handed it to Nagase, saying:
“Here is your appointment letter. You can go directly to the Anbu to collect your equipment later.
But you may have to wait a while to gather your subordinates, because the ones I assign to you are all new members."
Nagasawa nodded, it was obvious that Minato was thinking of him.
If he were assigned the three old Anbu from the third generation, although they were capable, they could not be trained as confidants and might not even be able to be used.
After arranging all these, Minato breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting Nagase, the useless guy, back on the right track.
Minato smiled and said, "I just happen to have a mission here. Would you like to take it? It's a small mission for you."
Yongze raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I will not have an easy life in the future. I haven't even taken office yet, but the mission has come."
Minato explained: "I originally planned to give this task to Kakashi.
But Kakashi is one of the three members I chose for you, so I want you to do this mission together and get familiar with each other."
Just as Minato finished his words, there was a knock on the door.
Then a white-haired boy wearing a mask walked in.
"Sir Yondaime, is there any mission?" Kakashi asked.
Minato smiled warmly, "You don't have to do that. Just call me like you always did."
Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Minato-sensei."
"I need you and Nagase to get some relevant information about the peace treaty for me. Iwagakure has already sent the information to the border of the Land of Fire. Just go and get it." Minato stated the task.
Although Kakashi was a little confused, he nodded to indicate that it was okay.
This kind of task of retrieving information should be more suitable for one person to do.
And why did he want Fujiwara-senpai to be with him? If he remembered correctly, Fujiwara-senpai was still a Chunin, and they even participated in the same Chunin Exam, but he was promoted while Nagase failed.
The two walked out of the Hokage building together, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Kakashi squeezed his right hand from time to time, and a look of sadness flashed across his face.
"Could it be that your right hand has sealed something like the Black Flame Dragon, which is why you are in so much pain?" Nagaze complained.
Kakashi was stunned, and warned himself in his heart; 'Kakashi, this is a mission, we can't do this anymore!'
He took a deep breath and said, "Senior Fujiwara, I'm sorry. I will carry out my mission seriously from now on."
"One more thing," Nagase pointed behind him and said, "Is the boy with a watermelon head and green tights following behind you your friend?"
At this time, the two had already walked some distance out of the village.
Kakashi froze again, then nodded.
He was very upset about his condition, which was so bad that he didn't even notice Kai was following him.
"Sorry, I'll go talk to that idiot." Kakashi said as he adjusted his forehead protector to reveal his covered Sharingan.
Tracking a ninja on a mission is an act of espionage!
With the powerful insight of the Sharingan, Kakashi quickly discovered Might Guy hiding in the tree.
Kakashi jumped onto the tree, looked at Might Guy speechlessly and said, "Kai, why are you following me? I'm on a mission."
Might Guy said honestly: "I saw you were distracted on the road, and I was a little worried, so I followed you here."
“…” Kakashi was silent, feeling somewhat touched.
"It's just a mission to retrieve information. You won't encounter any fighting, so you can go back without worry." Kakashi said.
"But..." Might Guy was still a little worried.
"Senior Nagase is here, so don't worry." Kakashi said with a guilty look on his face.
Although he didn't think Nagase had the ability to protect him, he had to say some words against his will in order to get Kai to go back.
