n“Yes”

nAfter all, Sarutobi was the Hokage of Konoha, he needed to be calm, but he couldn’t hide the surprise in his eyes.

nThis kind of thing has never happened in history!

n“What do you think?”

n“Well, I am very curious about the strength of that child, I have to see it for myself.”

nSakumo nodded gently with a strange glow in his eyes.

nSarutobi nodded back.

n“Well, that child is really qualified now, and even I want to see his strength.”

n…..

nIn the woods of Konoha.

nUnderground.

nAfter he eliminated everyone, Naito went back to the base with the others.

nHe took a short break there.

nAlong the way back to the base, the candidates even the official members of the Anbu looked at Naito differently.

nThey only saw him before as a genius boy who still didn’t grow up.

nBut the growth of Naito was beyond the imagination of everyone.

nGenius cannot describe Naito now.

nHe’s a monster!

nAt that time, no one doubted that Naito will become an official member of the Anbu.

nIt almost became a fact.

nThere was a lot of injuries and they needed to be treated.

nNaito proved that he’s the most talented candidate in the history of the Anbu.

nMoreover, with this incredible talent, as long as he grow’s up more, he will even be at the level of the Captains.

nAnd if he becomes the captain of a division, it will not be impossible to even become the next Leader of the Anbu.

nAt that time, Naito was standing quietly in a corner.

nNo one came to disturb him.

nAfter the warfare he had, although he didn’t get injured, Naito really got physically exhausted.

nAt this battle, the Reverse Hachimon Tonkou really proved itself useful.

nespecially the First Gate: The Gate of Heart.

nHe even got stronger due to its body feeding, he got really improved physically.

nSure enough, fighting is also a way of increasing the power, and without getting into bloody battles you won’t become a true powerhouse.

nNo fighting experience, no life or death, no improvement.

nThe change was actually a spiritual one, but it’s directly linked to the strength.

nbecause the spirit will influence the Chakra, and the last will have an effect on the body.

n“I didn’t expect that this battle will improve me this much, it’s almost compared to the time I practiced for a month.”

nFocusing for a while restored Naito’s strength.

nJust as Naito stood up, suddenly someone walked into the hall.

nIt was the leader.

nHe didn’t wear a mask.

nAnd the three captain divisions were following him.

nThe identity of the leader was known to everyone.

nThe leader of the Anbu, Hatake Sakumo!

n“Leader!”

n“Leader!”

nIn a moment, all the Anbu, whether they were alternate or official members saluted Sakumo.

nSakumo gently nodded, he raised his hand as a sign for everyone that they didn’t have to gather, then he walked from the crowd directly in front of Naito.

nThis is the first time Naito and Sakumo meet.

nAlthough Sakumo has observed Naito in the dark more then once, this is the first time Naito see him.

nAlthough he was very young at this time, Naito directly recognized him.

n“Leader.”

nNaito showed a touch of respectful expression as he gently saluted him.

nRegardlessly of how a lot of people see it, Naito still have the love and respect for Konoha.

nIn the original book, Naito felt real pity for the White Fang.

nJust because he saved his companion and gave up the mission, the hero become the most hated person in the whole village.

nThen he finally suicided.

nAlthough the first rule of being a ninja is doing your task even if it cost you your life.

nBut in Naito’s opinion, these rules don’t always apply for a noble purpose.

n

n

nEven if Sakumo focused on his mission and didn’t save his companions, there is no proof that the mission will succeed and maybe he will lose from both sides.

nBut there’s no doubt that someone played him.

nHatake Sakumo was really a very strong shinobi who was qualified to be the fourth Hokage.

nAnd without forgetting about how he’s the right hand of Sarutobi, which is naturally a pain in a lot of people asses.

nOf course, these are only speculations, none of this happened yet, Naito can’t be so sure about it.

n“You don’t need to be so polite.”

nSakumo looked at Naito and smiled, his expression was very warm, not a sligh of coldness.

nWhen you see him it’s almost impossible to believe that he’s Konoha’s White Fang.

n“It was a bit surprising this time, even I couldn’t believe it.”

n“I was holding back the entire time.”

nNaito shrugged.

nThe captain next to him couldn’t help but get a little bit furious.

nYou were holding back?!

nYou were holding back and still wiped out all the candidates?!

nThen what will you do if you go all out, reaching the sky?!

nSakumo couldn’t help but reveal a strange expression the moment he heard Naito.

nHe twitched his mouth slightly.

n“However, you’ve done a great job, the alternate member state is the last threshold for becoming an official member.”

n“There is no need to hide anything from you, what I need to see is your talent and your ability to choose your position next in the future.”

nHe continued speaking after he patted Naito’s shoulders: “You had a great performance in this training, but I would like to see more.”

nThese words made Naito feel a little bit strange.

nSee more?

nWhat do you mean?

nNo, no!

nDoes he want to test my strength by himself?

nNaito had a dazed expression, he couldn’t help but be sad.

nSakumo smiled, turned and said: “Follow me.”

nLooking at the back of Sakumo, Naito didn’t help but to think.

nHow strong is the White Fang?!

nNaito was uncertain, but at least he should be as strong as a Hokage!

nHow else can you become so famous in the Shinobi World War II?

nThe Hokage’s level is out of Naito’s league.

nNaito got bored.

nHe had a great battle just right now.

nHe doesn’t want to get a beating!

nBut this is the willing of the leader, he can’t refuse it, the only choice he has is to follow.

nHelplessly he shook his head.

nHowever, in his heart, he though Sakumo shouldn’t have a habit of abusing a genius.

nIt’s certain that he will test him personally, and this is will end with Sakumo given him some advice.

nThe sparring and the pointing of the strongest Anbu.

nLooks like this is the reward he got after he had that incredible performance.
