My older sister is Kushina

After the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure left Konoha, the village seemed to enter a state of peace.

Time slips away quietly.

Before we knew it, more than two months had passed in the blink of an eye.

Uzumaki Hanamichi seems to have been somewhat lazy lately, leaving most of the daily affairs of the first squad of the Anbu to the beautiful and gentle Hyuga Himaru, only personally handling some important missions and tasks.

However, this did not diminish the respect the team members had for him as the captain of the first squad of the Dark Guard.

Since their battle against Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, at the Ninja Arts Exchange Conference, the team members have already deeply affirmed and recognized their captain, Wolf Fang.

Whirlpool Hanamichi also clearly sensed the change in the team members' attitudes towards him.

He felt a sense of pride; the team members' recognition of him as their captain was undoubtedly the best affirmation for him.

Although Uzumaki Hanamichi, as the captain of the first squad of the Dark Division, seemed somewhat weary of his work, he still had a very good relationship with the members of the squad. He would personally organize a team activity almost every week, such as having a meal together or a picnic.

The most recent group activity was a board game activity – Werewolf!

The Werewolf game was meticulously planned by Uzumaki Hanamichi, and he also incorporated Truth or Dare, where the loser would be punished by having to answer either Truth or Dare.

I used to enjoy playing Werewolf, both online and offline. Although I wouldn't call myself a top player, I was quite proficient at it.

He felt that this werewolf game was quite suitable for multiplayer activities by the secret service team, as everyone could participate.

It was the first time playing Werewolf, and Whirlpool Flower Path explained the rules to the team members in detail.

The members of the first squad of the Dark Division were very interested in this unfamiliar game proposed by their captain, and they all actively participated.

However, they were clearly a bit inexperienced as it was their first time playing Werewolf.

Especially that certain azure beast, always ready to ignite its youth!

After several rounds, almost everyone voted out Might Guy in the first one or two rounds, which greatly frustrated Might Guy, who lodged a serious protest with the team captain who was hosting – “They’re messing with me!”

Whirlpool Hanamichi felt somewhat helpless. Might Guy seemed unsuitable for the game Werewolf. Whether as a teammate or an enemy, he was either the one who ruined his teammates or the one who would self-destruct the moment he opened his mouth.

However, Whirlpool Flower Path quickly found a suitable character for Might Guy in the game.

Under the tutelage of Whirlpool Flower Arrangement, Might Guy eventually became the host of the Werewolf game.

Whirlpool Flower Path has become a player.

As a veteran of the Werewolf game, he was very skilled and led the villagers to victory in the first round.

As the victor, his first question almost earned him the nickname "old pervert" from the members of the first squad of the Dark Division.

As the victim of the losing team, Mai Hyuga accepted the punishment and chose to answer truthfully.

Whirlpool Hanamichi asked in a serious tone, "Fire Dancer, what are your measurements?"

……

The purpose of the weekly group activities organized by Uzumaki Hanamichi for the members of the first squad of the Dark Division is actually quite simple. On the one hand, it is indeed for entertainment, but on the other hand, his more important purpose is to increase the bonds between the members of the squad through mutual contact and communication.

In fact, after becoming the captain of the first squad of the Dark Division, he had been consciously or unconsciously increasing the relationships between the squad members. The relationship between people is a process of going from strangers to acquaintances, and the same is true for the relationship between squad members.

Uzumaki Hanamichi hopes that everyone in the Dark Side team will cherish each other. However, it is obviously difficult for two people who are not very familiar with each other to cherish each other. Through gradual familiarity, the bond between team members will become deeper and deeper.

His efforts and dedication to the team have yielded good results. In the past two months, the members of the first dark squad have developed better and better teamwork and have gained more understanding of each other.

Hyuga Mai, Uchiha Shisui, and the others naturally felt that the atmosphere of the first squad was becoming more and more harmonious under the guidance of their captain, Ryougi, and they all liked this result.

In addition to the almost weekly group activities that strengthen the bonds between the members of the First Squad, Uzumaki Hanamichi also conducts special training for the First Squad. He gathers the team members for special training every two or three days. The main content of the training is to improve the team in various aspects, from chakra control to learning ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and so on.

The special training for the first squad was not general training, but targeted training.

Uzumaki Hanamichi carefully analyzed and studied the characteristics of each member of the first squad, and then created corresponding special training programs for them. For example, Might Guy's main training was physical skills, while Kurenai Yuhi's main training was illusion techniques.

During the special training, Uzumaki Hanamichi would also teach the team members ninjutsu to the best of his ability, and he even taught them the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

Of course, not everyone can be guided by Uzumaki Hanamichi. For example, Aoki Yukiko is a medical ninja, but she is not proficient in medical ninjutsu. However, he made some efforts for her. He asked the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, for some medical ninjutsu and special privileges. Aoki Yukiko is of commoner origin. Although she is already a Jonin of Konoha, she does not have the privilege to learn many advanced ninjutsu.

The Konoha leadership maintains strict control over advanced ninjutsu and related information; it's not something you can learn just because you want to. Uzumaki Hanamichi essentially helped Aoki Yukiko gain access to techniques beyond her rank.

In addition, Uzumaki Hanamichi used some combinations during training to achieve better synergy. For example, he paired Kakashi Hatake with Shisui Uchiha. He was aware of Kakashi's hidden Sharingan, but as an outsider to the Uchiha clan, he had no one to guide him in mastering the Sharingan and had to figure it out on his own. Shisui Uchiha, as a super genius of the Uchiha clan, was extremely powerful in the use of the Sharingan. By pairing the two together, Shisui could guide Kakashi in using the Sharingan.

Uzumaki Hanamichi's purpose in giving the Anbu First Squad special training was simple: to improve their strength as much as possible. He brought together members of the Anbu First Squad, such as Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, and Might Guy, who were originally Konoha's future promising talents. If they could be further improved, they might become even stronger in the future.

To some extent, Uzumaki Hanamichi is currently accumulating power, not only his personal power but also the power around him. The first squad of the Dark Division is the power he values ​​most.
