In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Tenyu glanced at Kakashi, then asked:

"What conditions are required for me to become the captain of the Dark Guard?"

The basic mission mode of the Dark Side is still to carry out missions in small teams.

Four ANBU ninjas were divided into a small team.

Each squad has a captain.

Team captains are usually ninjas of Jonin rank or higher.

Then, every ten small teams were divided into one large force.

The entire secret service now consists of only three units: the First Assassination Unit, the Second Assassination Unit, and the Third Assassination Unit.

Those who can serve as captains of assassination squads are at least at the level of elite Jonin, and some even possess powerful forbidden techniques.

If the three captains of the secret service unit were to join forces...

Even a ninja of the level of strength of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would pose a great threat to him.

Above these three assassination captains is the current head of the Anbu—Kakashi Hatake.

The entire operational system of the hidden area is extremely sophisticated.

There are a total of 121 official members of the Dark Division.

Each and every one of them is an elite and outstanding member of the Konoha ninja.

For Konoha, the number of Chunin and Jonin is certainly enormous, far exceeding the mere hundred members of the Anbu.

However, the existence of the Anbu is one of the most important forces in maintaining the daily order of Konoha.

Such a large number of elite ninjas

Whether it was the Uchiha clan, once the largest in the village,

It is still the Hyuga clan, currently the largest ninja clan in the village.

In terms of combat power, they are completely incomparable. This is the fundamental power that enabled the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, to control the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

From protecting the Hokage's safety to patrolling the village and protecting Konoha, and then going out to carry out various assassination missions.

Of course, in the dark areas,

Different levels of authority come with different powers.

The lowest-ranking members of the secret service often do odd jobs such as patrolling, delivering messages, and relaying information. The work is not only very busy but also mechanical, making it a very tedious job.

Once you become the assassination captain, you can select men from the secret service.

Once you've formed your own squad and received a mission, you can lead your squad out of the village to carry out assassinations.

The hours are relatively flexible, and the pay is generous.

Upon hearing Tianyu's question,

Kakashi frowned, then said:

"I can give you a chance. If your strength is enough to gain recognition, you can be directly promoted to captain of the Dark Force."

"How do I prove it? By fighting you?" Tianyu asked casually, his tone relaxed.

"Hehe, that won't be necessary."

Kakashi scoffed, inwardly thinking that the kid in front of him was naive.

Even if this kid really does have some talent in ninjutsu, he definitely wouldn't last three moves against me.

"You just need to pick any Dark Guard captain and defeat him," Kakashi said, handing a list to Tenyu.

"This is a list of team leaders who are not currently on missions. You can choose any one from this list."

Tianyu scanned through all the code names and then said, "I choose him, Tianzang."

This ninja, codenamed "Tenzo,"

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that one from childhood.

He was the only one among the children whose bodies were implanted with cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, by Orochimaru.

He later inherited the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai of the First Hokage and became a ninja known as "Yamato".

Tianyu's reason for choosing him was simple.

Among the tasks issued by the system in his mind, there happened to be one that required collecting Wood Release chakra.

If I can fight Yamato this time, it will be a great opportunity for me to collect Wood Release chakra.

However, after the Emperor selected this person that day...

Kakashi paused for a moment, then spoke up to remind him:

"His current position is not the captain of the secret service team."

He was the captain of the second assassination squad, and his strength was at the level of an elite Jonin.

Are you sure you want to challenge him?

"I'm sure."

“Alright then, since you’re challenging Tenzo, you just need to hold out against him for five minutes,” Kakashi said, then instructed his men to summon Tenzo to him.

Tianyu's lips curled into a smile.

A smile appeared on the face beneath the mask.

Five minutes?

That should be enough for me!

Chapter 55 Battle against Yamato

In a short while,

A tall man wearing a mask walked into Kakashi's office from elsewhere.

"Minister, you wanted to see me?" the man said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Kakashi nodded. "Tenzo, you don't have any missions right now, right? Help me conduct a strength assessment for this newbie."

"I do not have any missions to perform right now."

Yamato answered respectfully, then his gaze fell on Tenmuro.

Unable to resist scratching his head, he said somewhat awkwardly:

"Minister, you're not going to make me put this kid through a strength test, are you? Are you sure you're not kidding me? This kid looks like he hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet..."

Tianyu was speechless.

Does he really look that young?

Speaking of height, he's only 12 years old but he's already about 1.7 meters tall, okay?!

Among his peers, he was already a head taller than others!

"He just joined the Anbu today. He's very young, only twelve years old. The Hokage personally ordered him to join," Kakashi said.

Yamato exclaimed in surprise, "Twelve years old? Has the Hokage gone mad? Our Anbu isn't a place for playing house with little kids..."

Kakashi sighed silently, but did not refute Yamato's words, only saying:

"Since it's the Hokage's order, we must carry it out."

"I called you here today to test his abilities so I can help him choose a position."

Yamato nodded, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Okay, I understand."

Then he looked at Tianyu and patted him on the shoulder.

He said in a serious tone,

"Don't worry, I'll be careful during the test. Just do your best to show your full strength. I'll stop when I'm done and won't hurt you."

Tianyu's face had turned completely dark.

Haha, it seems I've been completely underestimated.

This feeling is really quite unpleasant!

Tengo coldly shrugged Yamato's hand off his shoulder and said in a chilling voice:

"unnecessary."

Yamato frowned slightly.

However, he didn't say anything more.

The three of them quickly arrived at a training ground inside the Dark Division.

Kakashi, the head of the Anbu (Anbu) unit, and Yamato, the captain of the Second Assassination Squad codenamed "Tenzo,"

The two appeared on the training field at the same time.

This immediately attracted the attention of many ANBU ninjas.

"The Minister and the Captain have both come to the training ground? That's quite rare!"

"I heard they're here to test the strength of a new kid. That kid's only twelve years old, he's really young! I heard the Hokage himself transferred him to the Anbu!"

"Kids this age are usually just becoming genin, right? How did he get into the ANBU? Could it be that he got in through connections?"

……

The ANBU ninjas who were not out on missions immediately turned their attention to Tenyu, their eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny!

Many of them were quite disdainful, not thinking that a twelve-year-old kid could be anything special, and wondering why the Hokage would put him in the Anbu.

Others, however, believed that the Third Hokage must have had another reason for doing this, and that this kid might be hiding a power that would shock them.

After all, geniuses have always emerged from among the young.

Some veterans who spent a few years in the Anbu still remember that four or five years ago, the Uchiha clan produced an amazing and decisive genius ninja, Uchiha Itachi, who joined the Anbu and later became the instigator of the Uchiha clan's extermination.

Of course, now the name Uchiha Itachi,
