Once exposed, it was obviously difficult for Naito to hide his identity and serve as an ANBU ninja.
In other words, after this battle, Naito will basically quit ANBU.
However, just when Naito thought of quitting the ANBU, a hint of realization finally appeared in his eyes, and he completely figured it out.
Yes, this is it!
His current status is already that of a special ANBU, no less than an ANBU squad leader, and his achievements in less than a year have far surpassed those squad captains!
If he achieves further military exploits on the frontal battlefield, it is almost certain that Naito will become the next ANBU captain after Hatake Sakumo!
And the ANBU captain, no matter what, cannot be ignored, he will definitely have power, and he will step up to become one of the top leaders of Konoha, second only to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu!
If it was at the beginning, Naito's strength was not as strong as it is now, Sarutobi Hiruzen still trusted Naito, but sometimes things are like this, when you become stronger, it will arouse fear.
Once Naito becomes the ANBU captain, coupled with Naito's monster-like growth rate, he will almost directly threaten the status of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and others!
Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen could trust Naito and let him be the ANBU captain, Danzo, Koharu and others would never agree.
So, this is what happened.
If Naito is transferred to the frontal battlefield, no matter how great his military exploits are, his status will be raised from genin to higher up.
After a war, even if his military exploits are unparalleled, he will be promoted to the rank of elite jounin at most.
In this way, Naito's power is actually greatly weakened. Of course, it is still possible to become a hero of Konoha in terms of status, but as long as he does not have actual power, it is within the scope that Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others can recognize. Inside.
After thoroughly understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Naito couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule on his face, both for Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Power, does he care? !
Don't care at all!
Without absolute strength, what's the use of power when faced with a being like Madara Uchiha who can single-handedly crush and sweep through a ninja village? !
It's not that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo's ideas are wrong, it can only be said that their vision is like this.
As Hokage and Hokage's assistant, it stands to reason that overlooking the entire ninja world, his vision should be very high, but it is incomparable to Naito.
Naito knew in his heart that there was not only Uchiha Madara who could conquer the ninja world by himself, but also an almost god-like existence like Kaguya Otani!
In the face of these people, the so-called captain of the dark forces, even the so-called shadow, and the so-called daimyo of the Land of Fire are just words with no practical meaning.
"Forget it, I don't want to wear this mask anymore anyway."
Taking off the mask on his face, the power of shock was activated, completely shattering it into pieces, and finally shattered into pieces. Naito turned around and left without looking back.
He came directly to the area where Konoha genin gathered.
Here, Naito saw many familiar figures, some of whom were even Naito's classmates, but Namikaze Minato was not among them.
"Hey, Yu Ye!"
Someone knew Yu Ye and immediately greeted Yu Ye.
Yu Ye looked up and was not prepared to pay attention at first, but after seeing the person who greeted him clearly, he nodded slightly.
"Um."
The person who greeted him was Tsunade's younger brother Senju Nawaki.
"Hey! Why do you look listless? Are you a little scared?"
Senju Naoki walked to Yu Ye's side, grinned at Yu Ye, patted Yu Ye's shoulder naturally, and said: "This does not look like the first genius in the ninja school back then."
The corner of Yu Ye's mouth twitched slightly. No wonder Tsunade cares about Naruto in the original work. Indeed, the character of Senju Nawaki is very similar to Naruto. He also practiced mouth escape very well. He successfully made Yu Ye change from the troublesome situation just now. got rid of it.
But the only pity is that the Thousand-Armed Rope Tree is not the reincarnation of Asura, which means he is destined not to be the protagonist of the era.
Noticing that the corner of Yu Ye's mouth was twitching as if he didn't want to speak, Senju Naoki thought that Yu Ye was still scared, so he chuckled and said: "If you are scared, just follow me. I am the one who wants to become Hokage. I will never die here!”
“…”
Yu Ye looked at the Thousand-Armed Rope Tree with a dark look.
Are you sure this isn't your last line before asking for lunch? !
Just when Senju Roshu was still trying to pull it up, a voice finally came over.
"Everyone be quiet!"
The sound was so loud that the noisy place fell silent in an instant, and all the genin raised their heads and looked forward.
There, Jiraiya, one of the future Sannin, was standing calmly on a high platform.
"I am Konoha's elite Jonin, and I will do the following..."
With a cold expression on his face, Jiraiya walked forward step by step, trying to build up his momentum.
But it is a pity that he has never been cold in his life.
Plop! !
Just as he reached the edge of the high platform, Jiraiya stepped on the air and fell down.
Yu Ye: "..."
Thousand-hand rope tree: "..."
All other genin: "…"
After Jiraiya's troubles, the originally extremely depressing aura was diluted in an instant.
It can be considered a mistake!
Fortunately, this time Jiraiya didn't stumble directly and without any image, and finally landed smoothly. After coughing slightly awkwardly, he walked forward seriously.
It seemed that just now it was just his gesture of stepping down.
"Okay, now I will temporarily designate the leader."
During the decisive battle, the division of the ninja team was completely different. It was no longer divided into squads and squads, but directly divided into columns.
There were over a hundred genin in the field, and they were quickly divided into three columns. Jiraiya then began to arrange temporary captains for the columns.
The reason why it is temporary is because it can die at any time during the war.
Of course, in fact, this captain is of little significance. The real commanders are the jounin and Hatake Sakumo who are strategizing.
This kind of temporary captain is only when the troops are in close combat. Hatake Sakumo and the commanding Jonin may not be able to take into account every detail, so they are asked to lead the team.
Soon, Jiraiya selected two temporary captains. This was also decided internally before. Two extremely experienced ninjas who could basically be promoted to chuunin.
Immediately afterwards, there was the appointment of the third interim captain.
It’s Yu Ye!
"Well, Yu Ye...it turns out to be you. I haven't heard from you for a long time. You will be the temporary captain of the third column."
Jiraiya was a little familiar with the name at first, but when he saw Naito's appearance, he still recognized it. After all, the battle in which Naito defeated Namikaze Minato was almost a year ago, but Jiraiya still hasn't forgotten it.
Although Naito was appointed as the captain of the third column, Jiraiya was very curious as to why a child with almost no experience like Naito could be the temporary captain of the third column.
But since it was Hatake Sakumo's order, he still followed it even if he felt it was inappropriate.
Thinking about Naito's strength, perhaps Naito's experience was poor, but at first his ability overwhelmed Feng Shuimen, but now even if he has been surpassed by Minato, he at least has the strength of a chuunin.
It's quite qualified.
