In the Hokage Building, in the Elders' Office, the Third Hokage looked at the information in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Ever since he passed the throne to Minato, he left the Hokage office where he had sat for decades and moved to the office used by the elders.
The information contained information about Minato establishing an Anbu training team, as well as a personal profile of Nagase.
Directly selecting a team from the fourth generation of new Anbu, which only has two teams, to join the Anbu training team is already considered a big move.
Moreover, the captain of this training team has such special authority.
It is so special that even the third generation seems familiar to him. In the beginning, Danzo used the slogan of training Anbu to create the Root.
Later, the Root sucked blood from the Anbu step by step, gradually grew, and finally broke away from the Anbu, almost becoming an Anbu that belonged exclusively to Danzo.
However, the Third Generation was confident that he could suppress Danzo, and no matter what happened to the Root, it could be disbanded at his command, so he did not interfere, giving this old classmate and teammate some face.
But the third generation is not familiar with Nagase, so he has to help Minato keep watch.
After reading the information about Nagaze from childhood to adulthood, the third generation knew that Nagaze was definitely not an ordinary person and was not as mediocre as the information said.
Although Nagase's achievements from childhood to adulthood all indicate that he is an ordinary ninja, it took him six years to be promoted to Chunin.
But after seeing Nagase's ANBU mission records, the Third Generation understood.
After joining the Anbu for four months, he completed a total of three S-level missions, and served as the captain in all three missions.
Moreover, the following two S-level missions were even more difficult. It took only four weeks for a single Anbu squad to complete the investigation and crackdown on the Jin Organization.
There is no doubt that Nagase's strength is definitely not simple, at least not as simple as an ordinary jonin, otherwise Minato would not have entrusted him with such an important task.
Why did such a capable person perform so mediocrely during his time in ninja school and his ninja career
Is it a deep thought, or a result of long-term accumulation
The third generation is more inclined to the former.
If this is the case, then the information in his hand has no credibility. Perhaps all this is just something Nagase deliberately showed.
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage summoned the Anbu in the dark and said, "Let Uchiha Shisui come over."
"yes!"
The ANBU moved quickly, and soon Shisui arrived at the Sandai's office.
"Sir Sandaime," Shisui said politely.
The third generation nodded. He was very satisfied with Uchiha Shisui. Unlike other Uchiha, as the descendant of Uchiha Kagami, Shisui also inherited the will of fire.
In addition, Shisui is also a super genius. He was active in the Third Ninja World War at the age of eleven. Because of his unique and powerful fighting style, he was called "Instant Body Shisui".
"I need you to enter the Yondaime's newly formed ANBU training team as an ANBU trainee, to observe the captain of the training team, Fujiwara Nagase, and conduct a comprehensive assessment of him." The Sandaime slowly stated the task he was going to give to Shisui.
ps: The official "Book of Formations" states that Shisui is an Anbu directly under the Third Hokage. As for the age issue, the author said that it is discussed inside.
Minato suddenly gave such great power to someone he was not familiar with, and the Sandai felt it necessary to confirm whether Nagasawa was capable of taking on this important task.
He didn't mind Minato doing this. Sooner or later, all power would be handed over to Minato.
He did this only because he was worried about Minato's lack of experience, and if any mistakes were made, he would be able to correct them in time.
"Is that so? I understand." Shisui nodded.
…
Nagase didn't know that the kind-hearted Third Generation was afraid that he would be tired, so he prepared to send a powerful tool to help him. At this time, he was explaining to Kabuto the difference between the change of chakra properties and the change of form.
"Look at this Rasengan in my hand, it's the change of chakra form." Nagase rolled out a ball and waved it in front of Kabuto.
"It is essentially a ball of chakra that is concentrated in the hand, flows in different irregular directions, and is compressed to form an attributeless chakra ball the size of the palm."
Then, Yongze quickly formed seals and spit out balls of flames.
"This is the change in the nature of chakra. I transformed chakra into flames."
After listening to Nagase's explanation, Kabuto concluded: "Allowing chakra to change shape is a form change, and allowing chakra to transform into fire, earth, wind, thunder, and water is a nature change."
Yongze nodded, "That's about it."
"Then is there any ninjutsu that can change the form of chakra as well as its nature?" Kabuto asked curiously.
"Remember the last time I took you to see my men fight?"
Dou nodded and said, "Remember."
That day left a deep impression on him and he learned how ninjas fight.
"The ninja with white hair and a mask like you uses the Lightning Release Ninjutsu Chidori, which has the ability to change the nature and form of chakra at the same time." Nagase gave an example.
Dou thought about it and realized that the man's Lightning Release was indeed very powerful. In both battles, that Lightning Release had the effect of killing with one strike.
"But it's good for you to know these for now. Don't think too much. It's not time for you to create your own ninjutsu yet." Nagase smiled and touched Dou's little head.
Kabuto nodded, but decided in his heart that he would create a powerful ninjutsu that could change both form and nature in the future.
As a result, Nagase's teaching to Kabuto was comprehensive. He taught the basics of ninja school teaching and also briefly talked about the changes in chakra properties that only the senior ninjas were involved in.
After explaining the theory, Nagase let Kabuto practice on his own, while he released the shadow clone and let the memory return to the original body.
Since Nagase was chosen to be busy, the Anbu needed him, and he also had to teach Kabuto and Might Guy, so he really had to do the work of three or four people now.
As for Nagase in the Anbu, he met someone who gave him an unexpected meeting.
After looking at the ANBU communication documents in his hand and then at Shisui, Nagasawa readily agreed, saying that Shisui could visit the training team now and then start training.
He didn't expect that the third generation would send Shisui to study with him.
Nagase was very happy. He had originally planned to grow Itachi up and train him into a perfect tool man, but the third generation actually gave him the finished product directly.
Yongze said, is there such a good thing
At this time, Shisui was even much stronger than Kakashi. It was not easy to make a name for himself in the war.
If he had Shisui as his assistant, he would be much more relaxed and wouldn't have to do the work of several people alone.
Others become strong and enjoy the best food and drink and can play however they want, but for him, his life is worse than before. He was not that busy when he was a Chunin.
Nagase now wants to train more tool people, and then let them help strengthen Konoha and improve its prosperity. He can then just lie back and count points.
