"Interesting. He graduated from the Ninja School in six years, became a Chunin in six years, and was promoted to Jonin three months ago..." Orochimaru put down the information about Nagase in his hand and raised the corner of his mouth.
From his perspective, Nagase's information was rather strange.
Taking the appointment of Minato Namikaze as the dividing line, before the Fourth Hokage took office, Nagase was particularly mediocre, just an ordinary Chunin, and had not even done any decent high-level tasks.
But after Minato Namikaze took office, it seemed as if his information had changed.
He joined the Fourth Anbu, completed three S-rank missions at an extremely fast speed, and was promoted to a Jonin...
The joint data stated that Nagase and Minato had a good relationship, and Orochimaru quickly figured out the reason.
Although Yongze is a genius with great strength, he is a person who does not like to show off and does not like fame and fortune.
So even though Nagase has great strength, he is still willing to be an ordinary Chunin.
But his good brother Minato became the Hokage, and in order to help Minato, Nagase joined the Anbu and no longer hid.
This is the most reasonable guess Orochimaru could come up with based on the information.
At this moment, he has already confirmed that Nagase's strength is definitely not simple. The person who can bring him that sense of crisis must be a Kage-level strongman.
Orochimaru felt that it was necessary to tell Danzo about this news. After all, Danzo was not getting along well with the Fourth Hokage at the moment, and the existence of such a hidden strong man in the Fourth Hokage's camp was also important information.
Although he and Danzo have some minor conflicts, their greater interests are still in line with each other. The two sides are now in the same camp and have common interests.
But he remembered that Nagase said he was interested in the experiment, and other ideas came to his mind.
So is there a possibility that Nagase is actually also an expert in research
If this is the case, even if Nagaze cannot solve the problem he is facing now, he may be able to give him some different ideas.
However, his experiments could not be made public, and Nagase was from the Fourth Generation, so the possibility of cooperation between the two parties was very low.
But Orochimaru is never someone who gives up just because of difficulty. In order to achieve his goal, he will use all the means he can.
"First test his research level, then test his attitude towards experiments."
Orochimaru quickly thought of the specific actions. If he wanted to achieve the above two goals, he had to get close to Nagase first.
Originally he was a member of the Root and had some connection with the Anbu.
But now that the Root was forcibly disbanded by Minato's order, he has become an ordinary jonin and no longer holds any position.
However, for Orochimaru, becoming an Anbu is an extremely simple thing.
When Orochimaru joined the Anbu, there was still anyone who was unwelcome
However, it is unlikely that he would join Minato Namikaze's Anbu.
Although Orochimaru was not so eager for the position of Hokage, when choosing the position of Hokage, the Third Hokage actually gave up on him and chose Namikaze Minato.
This made Orochimaru feel a little bit upset, and he became unhappy with Minato as well.
Minato was Jiraiya's apprentice, and the Third Generation chose Jiraiya's apprentice instead of Minato.
What does that mean? Is he, the great Orochimaru, not even as good as Jiraiya's apprentice
There are some things that he may not want, but you cannot not give them.
However, if he does not join the fourth generation's Anbu, he can join the third generation's Anbu. Anyway, the two Anbu now share the same Anbu base, so there are more opportunities for contact.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
One day, early morning.
Yongze counted the days and it was time to collect points. He opened the template skillfully and collected the points.
The reform of the Anbu has just begun, and there has been no obvious change in prosperity, it is just growing slowly.
After spending 7,500 points to increase Tsugumi Yuichi's fusion degree to 90%, Nagase discovered that the plus sign next to the fusion progress bar had turned gray.
Then, the system prompt sounded.
The fusion degree reaches 90%, and the template challenge needs to be completed
Tsugikoku Yoriichi's challenge: Kill Muzan. Completion reward: 10% fusion degree
Yongze carefully read all the rules of this challenge.
It turns out that the upper limit of points that can be added is 90%, and then you have to complete the challenge task and can't use points to increase it.
However, as long as you complete the challenge task, the fusion degree of the template will be directly increased to 100%. If it is a template like Whitebeard that costs more points, you can save a lot of points.
And killing Muzan does not mean letting him travel to the world of the real Demon Slayer and kill Muzan or something.
Instead, Nagase will enter an illusion created by the system. Even if he fails, he will just spend points to try again.
All his abilities can be used as usual, including the abilities of various templates.
Nagase estimated that if it was the Whitebeard template, the challenge would be to save Ace.
That would be quite difficult, as there were so many powerful warriors in the war, even if his fusion degree was 90% at that time, he would not be able to withstand it.
Whitebeard himself suffered such a terrible fate, let alone him.
Yongze thought about it and did not immediately enter the challenge.
This challenge can be started at any time, so there is no need to be too anxious. It is better to finish today's affairs first.
The first assessment of the training team was very successful, and many people from the first team wanted to join the training team to learn the six styles.
Nagaze decided to expand the training team ahead of schedule and recruit some of the Anbu from the first team into the training team.
The reason why the entire first team was not directly included in the training team is because the Anbu also has tasks.
Even Nagase's Anbu training team has to perform Anbu missions in addition to training.
If all the Fourth Generation Anbu were absorbed into the training team at once, the Fourth Generation Anbu would be in a situation where no one would do the missions.
Even in peacetime, the Anbu have a hard time.
Because the third generation of Anbu had more people, most of the tasks and work were undertaken by them, and the fourth generation of Anbu had it relatively easy.
Otherwise, Nagaze wouldn't be able to start directly with a team joining the training.
At noon, when Nagase was about to leave the Anbu, an Anbu ninja knocked on the door of Nagase's office with a document.
Yongze made it again and said calmly, "Come in."
The ANBU ninja walked into the office and said respectfully, "Master Nagase, this is from the Sandaime ANBU."
"The Third Generation Anbu... let me see." Nagase took the document and opened it curiously.
Could it be that the third generation is preparing to send him another talent
