Konoha, Training Ground No. 8.
A large number of ninjas wearing Anbu uniforms gathered here.
Today is the day for the Anbu training team to take the test.
Not only were all members of the training team present, but part of the Fourth-generation Anbu's First Team was also present, as was the Fourth-generation Hokage Minato Namikaze.
The members of the training team stood in three rows in groups, facing Nagasawa and Minato.
The Anbu from the first team stood behind Nagase and Minato, looking at the Anbu from the training team curiously.
Since all the Anbu members who joined the training team signed a confidentiality agreement, the people in the first team knew that there was a new special training team in the Anbu, but they didn't know the specific situation.
"The assessment only tests the compulsory part, that is, their proficiency in the six compulsory styles..." Nagase and Namikaze Minato were talking about the assessment.
"I set a passing line. If you pass the line, you will pass. If you don't reach the passing line, you need to train harder."
Minato nodded. This method was undoubtedly more humane than deciding punishment based on ranking.
In terms of ranking, there will always be someone at the back, but with passing, everyone can pass.
Of course, if the training is ineffective, everyone can also fail.
"Let's get started." Nagasawa prompted Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded and walked out of the line. In today's assessment, he was not only the judge responsible for scoring, but also the referee for the Moon Step, Shaving and Finger Gun events.
Inuzuka Midori is in charge of the three projects of iron block and paper painting.
If Yanshui had come, each person should have completed two projects, but unfortunately Yanshui went out to carry out the mission.
Kakashi actually doesn't like this kind of work very much. He even thinks that this assessment doesn't have much meaning.
Doesn't he know the level of each member of the group? Even if they perform well, it will be just that. Even if they perform poorly, it won't be that bad.
It would be better to let him score based on his usual training performance.
But no matter how he complained in his heart, it was the captain's order after all, so he still had to do it.
Kakashi looked at the training team members expressionlessly and said calmly:
"The Moon Step test will begin in three minutes. Those who have chosen the Moon Step test can start warming up. Those who have not chosen the Moon Step test can also review the test they have chosen."
After hearing what Kakashi said, the training team members began to warm up.
Some people who chose other projects kept a certain distance and looked for a suitable place to review the six forms they chose.
Two and a half minutes later, Kakashi checked the time and said:
"The Moon Step test is about to begin. I will first announce the test standards. You will pass if you can use the Moon Step to get ten meters off the ground and stay in the air for more than one and a half minutes.
If the aircraft is fifteen meters above the ground and stays in the air for more than one minute and fifty seconds, it is considered good.
Twenty meters above the ground, staying in the air for more than two and a half minutes is considered good."
When the assessment time arrived, Kakashi began to read out the names of the examinees in order of their Anbu numbers.
Since there were not many Anbu members in the training team, excluding Kakashi and his team leader, there were only sixteen ordinary members who needed to take the assessment, so they were assessed one by one.
The Anbu whose names were called perked up, trying to perform better and show off in front of the Hokage.
Minato watched as the Anbu used the Moon Steps to walk in the air like they were walking up stairs, his eyes lit up and he said:
“This taijutsu is very practical. If you want to attack, you can launch a surprise attack on someone from the sky, or sneak in silently from the sky.
It is also very convenient for escaping, and ordinary ninjas don't have such an ability."
Jumping ten meters high is easy for Minato, and even for a ninja, but that's all. They can only jump ten meters and cannot stay in the air.
However, for him who has Flying Thunder God, this kind of physical skill is of little use.
With Flying Thunder God, Minato's mobility is maximized and he no longer needs Moon Steps or Shave to increase his mobility.
"If it wasn't practical, I wouldn't have set up a training team." Nagaze said with a smile.
The Six Styles is definitely nothing to real masters, but it is very suitable for middle-level players and has great practicality.
At this time, the ninjas from the first team who were called by Minato to visit also showed a strong interest in Yuebu.
If they learn this taijutsu, many tasks will become easier, although this ninjutsu is not direct flying.
But for a ninja, even a short period of hovering in the air can increase many possibilities.
Some ninjas from the first team started to get excited and started wondering if it was possible for them to join the training team.
It’s not like they don’t know the people in the training team. At a glance, they are all from the second team.
They were all members of the Fourth Generation Anbu, which had just been established. They had basically carried out missions together, so they all knew each other.
Since the people from the second team can join, there is no reason why the people from the first team cannot join.
Besides, shouldn’t the Anbu training team be responsible for training Anbu
After the six-style test was over, the next test was the shaving test.
The assessment requirement for shaving is burst. The shorter the time it takes to reach the designated location, the higher the score.
Shave's performance did not have the same stunning feeling that Moon Step gave Minato, but Minato knew, with his rich combat experience, that this physical technique also had unexpected effects.
Compared to ordinary instant body-flying techniques that require hand seals, Shave has obvious advantages in that it can be used in conjunction with many ninjutsu at the same time.
The Anbu of the First Squad also thought that this physical skill was good. If they could learn it, their mobility would be improved to a certain extent.
Soon, all six styles were assessed and Minato finished reading the complete six styles.
He had to admit that Nagase was really amazing. He actually created a physical technique that was completely different from Konoha's existing physical technique schools, and it was so practical.
At this moment, he was glad that he had invited Nagase to the Anbu, otherwise it would be a huge waste to let such a genius stay in the position of Chunin and do nothing.
Soon, Kakashi showed his results to Nagase. Everyone passed, and no one was below the passing line.
Yongze nodded with satisfaction. Although the standards he customized were based on the training progress of the training team members, as long as they didn't slack off, they should pass.
But regular training is one thing, and performance in assessment is another.
When training, even if you make mistakes, it’s okay, as long as you keep a good attitude.
As for the assessment, the captain and the Hokage are watching, and there are penalties for failing, so the pressure is obviously much greater than usual.
"Your performance today is great. In addition, your current assessment results will be counted towards your promotion to Anbu positions. Keep up the hard work."
Nagase said something that made the excellent Anbu ninja ecstatic.
The ninja who only got a passing grade was also stunned. He felt that it was time to work hard to improve his strength and get promoted.
Finally, Minato said some encouraging words as a closing remark, and the first assessment of the Anbu training team came to an end.
