Naruto hodgepodge

Uchiha Itachi stood at the entrance of the Anbu, his heart filled with tension and anticipation. He took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stepped into the mysterious Konoha Anbu. As soon as he entered the door, he felt the scrutiny of his colleagues, which contained both curiosity and suspicion.

Under the leadership of Captain Uchiha Kakashi, Itachi came to the equipment department, where various weapons and protective gears for the Anbu were displayed. A ninja from the equipment department handed Itachi a set of Anbu equipment, including a mask, gloves and a special ninja suit, and Itachi took the equipment.

"Thank you." Itachi thanked the head of the equipment department and began to put on the equipment.

At this time, Yamato approached Itachi without wearing a mask. Seeing this, Itachi immediately stepped forward and introduced himself respectfully: "I am Uchiha Itachi who just joined the Anbu today. Please take care of me."

Yamato smiled and nodded, welcoming Itachi to join him, "Oh, so it's you, the young talent of the Uchiha family. The innermost cabinet over there is reserved for you."

Itachi heard this and nodded slightly, "Yes." He quickly picked up his equipment and walked steadily to the designated cabinet.

On the side, the Anbu members were talking in low voices, their eyes falling on Itachi from time to time, full of curiosity.

"Look, that's him. He's already a member of the Anbu at the age of eleven." Someone said softly, his tone full of admiration.

"Besides, he's the youngest in the ANBU, which is unbelievable," another person echoed, praising Itachi's abilities highly.

At this time, Captain Yamato announced loudly: "Members of Class 6, please pay attention. Gather at the third training ground in five minutes to prepare for the next stage of training."

Upon hearing this, Itachi nodded slightly and responded concisely and forcefully, "Yes." Then, he put on the mask unique to the Anbu and walked towards the third training ground with firm and steady steps.

During the journey, a sudden test came quietly. A member of the Anbu silently threw a kunai at Itachi's feet, trying to test his reaction. However, Itachi seemed to be able to foresee everything, and judged the trajectory of the kunai by feeling alone, and continued to move forward without paying any attention.

Then, a series of shurikens rained down on Itachi at such a speed that it was shocking. However, Itachi remained calm and composed, his steps were not disturbed at all, and the shurikens whizzed around him, but none of them could get close to him. This scene made the Anbu members who were secretly observing couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a shuriken accurately hit a tree on the roadside, making a crisp sound. Itachi stopped and turned around, only to see a white-haired, masked ninja captain slowly approaching. It was Kakashi, the captain of Team Six.

"What are you doing?" Kakashi's voice was a little harsh, "This kind of meaningless test will only waste time."

The ANBU members who participated in the test looked at each other, and one of them explained with a stiff upper lip: "We just... want to confirm whether he is qualified to join us."

"Qualifications?" Kakashi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. "You should know that the decision of the higher-ups cannot be questioned. And from his performance just now, he is obviously not a simple person."

After that, Kakashi turned to Itachi and said in a much softer tone: "I am the captain of Team Six, Kakashi. In the days to come, you need to remember every rule and structure of the Anbu. Here, there are no weak ones, only stronger pursuits."

Itachi nodded again and replied briefly: "Yes"

Itachi's steps were steady and powerful, and each step seemed so natural and smooth. He gently pulled out eight kunai from his waist, his eyes focused and determined. As his body jumped up, it seemed to merge with the air and quickly rose to a high altitude. In the air, he flexibly turned his body and threw the kunai in his hand one by one, his movements were smooth and there was no pause at all.

The eight kunai drew perfect arcs in the air and flew accurately to the bull's eye in the distance. With the continuous sound of "bang bang bang", the bull's eye was hit one by one, and each sound seemed so crisp and powerful, while the eight kunai were firmly inserted into the bull's eye.

Itachi fell gracefully from the air. At this moment, he conquered everyone present with his actions.

One of the Anbu members couldn't help but admire: "This kid is really good."

Vice Captain Yamato, who was standing under the tree, nodded when he heard this, with a look of both admiration and doubt: "There is indeed no problem with your strength, but being able to enter the Anbu at such a young age is a special case here."

Captain Kakashi interrupted quietly, his tone a little mysterious: "I heard that this time it was recommended by Danzo-sama himself behind him."

Yamato heard this: "Oh? It's him? I can't tell."

Kakashi showed a surprised expression on his face: "What do you mean?"

Yamato pondered for a moment: "Danzo-sama has his own independent set of standards when selecting important members of the Anbu and the Root."

Kakashi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, as if he was curious about Yamato's reserved attitude: "So?"

Yamato shook his head, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "It's hard for me to say."

......

As night fell, in the Uchiha residence, Itachi solemnly reported to his father, Uchiha Fugaku: "Father, from today on I will officially join the Konoha Anbu and start working."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's face lit up with a pleased smile, his eyes sparkling with pride: "Really? You are worthy of being my son. I am sincerely happy that you can enter the Anbu."

Itachi nodded slightly to show his humility.

Uchiha Fugaku restrained his smile, and his tone became serious and deep: "But you must remember my words. You are a member of Konoha's Anbu, but you are more importantly, Itachi of the Uchiha clan."

Itachi looked at his father: "Yes"

Uchiha Fugaku continued: "The Uchiha clan was appointed to be responsible for Konoha's law and order, but because of this, the village was separated from the center. Our clan needs our own eyes and ears. Please, Itachi."

When it was late at night, Itachi left the clan. In a corner of Konoha, on the bridge of an abandoned building, the moonlight shone, illuminating the figure of Itachi kneeling on one knee. Danzo, the shadowy giant of Konoha, was wrapped in bandages and spoke slowly: "Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku is the best among all the police captains. It should be said that he is worthy of being your father."

Itachi looked up at Danzo.

Danzo's tone revealed a complex emotion: "The Uchiha clan was granted autonomy by Konoha. The Uchiha clan was separated from the village center, and our village has no way to intervene directly, so we need our own eyes and ears. Konoha's will of fire is about to burn to the entire ninja world. At this critical moment, we must not allow any mistakes to happen. Please, Itachi"

Itachi looked up and his eyes met Danzo's. Within just one day, his father and Danzo-sama had made him each other's eyes and ears in turn, and they had entrusted each other with tasks.

During the day, the sun shines in front of the Hokage building of Konoha Village. Itachi and Kakashi from the sixth team of the Anbu are performing today's Hokage guarding mission. Kakashi looks at the quiet environment and asks Itachi, "How do you feel? Are you getting used to it here?"

Itachi shook his head slightly, answering with a hint of humility: "Not yet. After all, I haven't started the real mission yet."

Kakashi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, with a hint of surprise in his tone: "Oh? This is indeed beyond my expectation." Then, he explained, "But please remember, protecting the Hokage is also an important and indispensable task of the Anbu."

Hearing this, Itachi turned to look at Kakashi, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Shouldn't the Anbu be a special force that carries out assassination tactics?"

Kakashi turned around gently, his eyes deep: "Indeed, but that was during war or special times. Now, we are in a truce, and guarding and monitoring are our main responsibilities."

At this moment, the door opened slightly, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out slowly, calling out with a gentle look, "Kakashi."

Kakashi responded quickly: "Yes."

The Third Hokage said solemnly: "Although I have publicly dispatched a team, Danzo believes that there are complexities behind this matter and his opinions should also be taken seriously. Therefore, we will send another action team privately."

Kakashi understood immediately: "So, this action was not directly ordered by the Hokage?"

The Third Hokage nodded: "Yes, you must follow Danzo's instructions."

After the Third Hokage left, Kakashi immediately went to Danzo to receive the mission. Danzo briefly and directly arranged the mission, emphasizing the potential crisis and Konoha's position.

Danzo: On the surface, it is a peaceful diplomacy. We are going to exchange information with the ninja prajna of the Forest Country at the border. But I think this may be a trap set by the enemy. The Third Generation also agrees with this. Therefore, we need to send out the Anbu to protect the troops who are openly carrying out the mission. Once the enemy betrays and attacks the troops, we will kill them without sparing a single one.

Kakashi: Destroy them? Danzo: Let them know that Konoha does not allow betrayal.

Kakashi: I want to form a 2-man team with Itachi

Danzo: Yes

Kakashi: Goodbye then.

Danzo: Wait. Kakashi, you have been on a mission to the Snow Country. After this mission is over, go to the Snow Country and find out about the chakra armor, trains, and airships. If they have appeared in the Snow Country, bring back all the research and development data.

Danzo mentioned clues about the Snow Country and the train, which made Kakashi recall the past four years ago. He was puzzled by the new concept of "train": "Chakra armor is easy to explain, but what are trains and airships?"

Danzo: "It is said that it is a large-scale transport that can travel on the ground and fly in the air, but it is not known whether it has been successfully developed. If these things appear, please be sure to bring back the relevant information. I will send someone to assist you. This mission is very important and will be listed as S-level."

Kakashi: "I understand. Goodbye."

In a hidden training ground of the Anbu in Konoha Village, the training of the Anbu is in full swing.

An experienced ANBU member was sparring with another ANBU member. There were no excessive words or complicated rituals. As the ANBU member moved, he was as fast as a cheetah and instantly closed the distance with his opponent. His straight punch whistled out with a sharp sound, but it was obvious that he did not use his full strength. It was more like testing the opponent's reaction and speed.

The opponent reacted very quickly, and cleverly dodged the attack by turning sideways. At the same time, he quickly stepped forward with his right foot and kicked directly at the opponent's waist. The experienced ANBU member smiled slightly, and his body retreated a step flexibly like a swimming fish, easily defusing the attack. He took advantage of the situation to turn around, and quickly turned his right hand into a palm, slapping the opponent's wrist with lightning speed, intending to control the opponent's offensive rhythm.

The fight between the two was intense and fierce, with fists and kicks flying back and forth. Every attack and defense showed extremely high precision and strength, but they controlled the force just right to avoid real damage.

Just as the competition was getting intense, the sound of approaching footsteps broke the atmosphere. The two men stopped their movements in tacit understanding, each adjusting their breathing, their eyes revealing their vigilance towards the newcomer. An Anbu member took two steps, his eyes lingering on Itachi.

"Itachi, the first mission of the Anbu?" The Anbu member spoke first, with a barely perceptible concern in his tone.

Itachi nodded and responded briefly, "Yeah."

Another ANBU member nearby interrupted, "I heard that you and Captain Kakashi are working in pairs, so be careful." There was a hint of reminder and warning in his tone.

Itachi frowned and asked in confusion, "Be careful about what?"

The ANBU member lowered his voice, as if he didn't want more people to hear: "As long as it is for the mission, the captain will kill even his companions. This is something everyone knows privately."

At this time, another member of the Anbu who was standing nearby took over the conversation: "Captain Kakashi is the so-called role model of ninja."

After Itachi heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He did not respond directly, but just nodded slightly, then turned around and walked out of the training ground, his steps firm and resolute.
