Chapter 56: The Anbu Black Ops
In a hidden passageway inside a hidden cavern,
Kakashi and Izuna walk to an underground building with a huge sign for 'Anbu Black Ops' in kanji. They are inside the headquarters of Anbu.
Both of us walks to a counter near a heavy metal gate. Kakashi puts down a scroll on the counter and we wait for a response.
A masked Anbu grabs the scroll from the counter and retreats. We wait for a while for the Anbu. After a few more minutes, the Anbu returns with two sets of equipment as he speaks,
"Here is a set of equipment for both of you."
"Thank you!" both of us thanks to him as he continues,
"Change in your equipment and meet with the Captain within the next ten minutes."
We pick our set and moves to a remote corner of the building to equip our Anbu gear. The gear consists of an Anbu vest, a pair of arm guards, a porcelain mask, and a top-quality blade.
After we change into our gear, Kakashi knocks slightly on the metal door. After a while, the door opens and an anbu leads our way.
"This way, Captain is waiting for you."
We walk for a while inside various passages in the Anbu Headquarters before we enter a room.
"Captain, the recruits are here." The Anbu informs the Captain as he returns to his work.
A masked Anbu walks up to us as he speaks,
"So, you both are the recruits recommended by Hokage-sama, Kakashi Hatake, and Izuna Uchiha. Both of you possess the Sharingan and one of you even a moniker of 'Silent Shinigami'.
Our Anbu isn't a place for a soft-hearted person. It is a place where darkness resides and many top secrets missions of the village are carried. We are an elite division that demands only the best among the best. Both of you will be trained for a month in various fields and at the end of the training, you will be assigned a division based on your specialty.
Further information will be provided to you by your trainer. After your training, you will be branded with the mark of Anbu to inaugurate you as an official Anbu member. Now, go an meet your trainer."
The Captain just directed us towards the training hall and left. After a while, an anbu member with a tall and bulky body appears before us as he introduces himself,
"I am your trainer for the next month. Before we start, I would like to inform you about the various divisions of the Anbu. There are no ranks within the Anbu and only your merit and experience determine your hierarchy. Now, let's start with the introduction of various divisions of Anbu.
There are seven divisions within the Anbu which are, the Falcon Division responsible for hunting missing-nins, the owl division responsible for Stealth and Information retrieval, the Bear division responsible for Protection and Investigation.
The Cat division is responsible for Stealth and Assassination. The Frog division responsible for Medical and crisis, they are Combat Medics. The Wolf division is responsible for Torture and Interrogation and the Dragon Division responsible for Organization and Gathering of the rest of the Anbus.
There is another hidden division known as Root which isn't part of the normal Anbu. It is a separate division under Danzo-sama, one of the elders of the Village.
Now before we start your training, I would like to ask the Anbu unit, both of you would like to join. It is necessary as both of you will be trained accordingly."
"I would join the Cat division." I immediately reply to him.
"I would also join the Cat division," Kakashi replies to the Trainer.
The Trainer looks at Kakashi's mask and hesitates for a while before he speaks,
"Looks like you need to change your mask."
Kakashi wore a Dog mash whereas I had a tiger mask.
"It's fine, I will continue with this mask," Kakashi replies to Trainer.
"Very well, then we will start your training. But first, let me tell you more about the Cat division.
The Anbus of Cat division can be coined as Assassins. They show their power through their stealth and Quick-killing. These are the heavy-duty anbu members as they are required to assassinate any powerful person. As a cat division member, you must move in and out without ever being caught, without ever being noticed and no sign of your work shall be traced back to Village in case of an investigation.
For the next month, I will train you in stealth and Silent killing. Before we start, show me your hiding skills."
I make a Ram seal as my body starts to fade away,
'Light Style: Camouflage Cloak'
I disappear from the Trainer's vision as his mouth is gaped open. He frantically tries to search for me, but after searching for a while, he is unable to find me.
"Good kid! Your stealth skills are top-notch. But I want you to hide your presence without the use of Ninjutsu. Only when you become one with the shadows without using any Ninjutsu would your stealth training be counted as complete. Anbus face various situation where they are unable to use Chakra or lest they may warn the enemy sensor."
I re-appear before he asks me again to hide from senses. This way both of our Anbu training starts. Kakashi and I are quick-learners. Within a month, both of us mastered all the Techniques and skills of Anbu.
------------------
After a month, the Trainer nods at us in satisfaction as he speaks,
"Call me Tatsu. I am a part of the Dragon division. Both of you are officially a part of Anbu now. You will receive your first mission from the Hokage-sama shortly."
Tatsu summons another Anbu member who carves an Anbu tattoo on our left shoulder.
"Welcome to the Anbu corps. Both of you will be assigned to a Team soon. Follow him to meet your new team."
We follow the guy who branded us. This guy wore a bear mask as he speaks,
"These people from Dragon division are quite a handful. They are dubbed as 'Worded Bards' among the rest of the Anbu. I am Kuma and from today onwards you will be Inu and Tora based on your masks."
He leads us to a room with other Anbu members and speaks,
"Welcome to Team Ro, rookies. Now let us depart for Hokage's Office. We will be receiving our mission shortly."
All of us flicker out as we move towards Hokage-Office. We gather in Minato's office as he starts to explain,
"Recently, various reports of Shinobi attacks have been reported at the borders. Many shinobi from small villages survived by taking advantage of the turbulent situation.
They have no wish to be controlled by the nations of fire, wind, and earth. So, I have no doubt that they will continue to cause disruptions. However, this peace was won through the sacrifice of many. So, we must maintain it. And for that, I am going to count on all of you."
"Yes sir, sir." All of us shout in unison as we start to move towards borders.
----------------
At Land of fire borders,
In a watchtower of the Border Patrol team, three Konoha shinobis are engaged in combat against Five Shinobis dressed in Iwagakure's shinobi outfit. They are about to finish them off when our team interrupts them.
"Reinforcements, retreat!" the enemy ninjas dashes off in the forest as we approach the tower.
"Thanks for that, looks like the Hidden Stone has betrayed us." One of the Jounin thanks us.
One of the anbu members of Owl division picks up the shuriken and check it.
"This isn't a Hidden Stone Shuriken." The anbu concludes.
"You mean they were fakes. Why would…"
"Because of the rift between Stone and Leaf." The anbu interrupts the Jounin.
Kakashi jumps off from the tower as he chases the imposters.
"Hey, don't chase them too far." The anbu members try to stop Kakashi. Kakashi makes some hand signs,
'Lightning Release: Chidori Lightning Cutter'
"I will look after him." I jump from the tower as I assure my team.
'Swift Release: God Speed'
I disappear from their vision as I follow Kakashi. Kakashi starts to attack the imposters as he finishes them off one by one. Kakashi removes his mask as he gets ready to kill the final Ninja.
"The Sharingan, You are the infamous cold-blooded Kakashi." the imposter trembles in fear upon seeing Kakashi.
When Kakashi is about to land a blow on the final imposter, I catch his hand as I stop him from attacking.
"Stop Kakashi! We need to get intel from him."
I remove my mask as I calm down Kakashi. At this point, the Imposter had a breakdown as he identifies me,
"The mutated Sharingan, you are the 'Silent Shinigami' of the leaf."
"Oh! You know about me."
I walk towards the imposter as I smile at him.
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
The enemy ninja starts to tremble violently as he wets his clothing in terror.
"I don't even want to know, what kind of weird Genjutsu, you put him into." Kakashi remarks.
"Oh! He has become a Goblin Slayer or not." I answer to Kakashi.
"Whatever!" Kakashi puts back his mask as our mission is over.

Chapter 57: First Encounter with Sannins
Inside the Anbu Headquarters,
Izuna is holding a summon scroll from Hokage's Office as he stocks up on his supply. The Captain of Team Ro just passed this scroll to him, since he is the only available Anbu at present in the Village.
Kakashi and others are out at borders to settle the unrest caused by rogue Shinobis. It has been three months since he joined the Anbu and he had completed a bunch of missions from assassination to Information Retrieval.
Izuna departs for the Hokage's office as he pockets the scroll.
--------
Inside the Hokage's office,
Minato is discussing some matters with Hiruzen as the latter guides him on some matters.
"Lord Third! Is it alright to send his former comrades to assassinate him?" Minato questions Hiruzen
"I also don't want to do this, But we have no choice. Most of our capable shinobis are occupied at the borders to prevent skirmishes orchestrated by small Villages. Also, I think they would be the perfect Candidates for the mission." Hiruzen replies to Minato.
Soon, the door to Hokage's office opens as three-person enters the office.
"Oh! You are finally here, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru." Hiruzen address the new-comers.
"Why you have called us here, Sensei? I returned to the Village to join the war on your summon. I will return after this mission. I won't stay in the Village for too long." Tsunade grumbles as she folds her hands in front of her chest.
"Oh! Minato. How are you spending your days as Hokage? Huh! You seem pretty exhausted. Sensei, want to have some fun with me later? We will do our research together after the mission." Jiraiya laughs as he speaks to Hiruzen and Minato.
"Also! Tsunade, you should cheer up a little or you will become a granny in few more years with that constant frown on your face." Jiraiya pokes fun of Tsunade.
Tsunade has a tick mark on her forehead as she snaps and punches Jiraiya on the head. She angrily stares at Hiruzen who is sweating profusely at the moment.
"Sensei! Why have you called all three of us after the war? I am sure there must be a reason for this emergency summon." Orochimaru calmly questions Hiruzen.
"Wait, for a few minutes. The fourth member for the mission will arrive soon. After that, I will start briefing you on the details of the mission." Hiruzen replies to Orochimaru as he avoids the angry gaze of Tsunade.
Knock…Knock…
There is a knock on the door.
"Oh! He has arrived. Come in." Minato informs them.
I knock on the door as I wait for the response. Soon, Minato orders me to enter.
"You have a mission for me Hokage-sama." I walk straight to Minato as I place the scroll on his table.
"Hmm…it's not me who has a mission for you, rather it is Lord Third who issued the mission. I just passed the mission to anbu and you happened to be the person who received it." Minato is surprised to see me appear for the mission.
"You called for me Lord Third." I bow before Hiruzen as I wait for his orders.
"Hmm… I have an S-rank mission for you. Before I brief you on the mission, let me introduce you to your teammates." Hiruzen points in Sannins direction as he starts the introduction.
"These are the Three Legendary Sannins of the Leaf Village. You must be aware of them. They will be your teammates for the mission."
I remove my mask as I start to introduce myself to them,
"I am Izuna Uchiha. A member of the anbu and I would request you to call me Tora for this mission." I wear my mask again.
"Oh! He is that same kid, Minato. So, you have joined Anbu. You must have some extraordinary skills to be able to join the Anbu at such a young age." Jiraiya points at me as he immediately recognizes me.
"Oh! You knew him, Jiraiya." Hiruzen asks Jiraiya in surprise.
"Yes! I meet him before the war when you summoned us back to the village. This kid created an S-Rank Jutsu on his own." Jiraiya talks about me.
"What?" Hiruzen is surprised to hear this. He stares at me for a while before he nods to himself.
"Still, he is a kid. I don't want a kid to join us on an S-rank mission and lose his life for no reason." Tsunade interrupts the conversation as she points at me.
"I don't agree with your decision to include him in our mission. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and I are enough for this mission." Tsunade continues.
Orochimaru stays silent during the entire conversation.
"He is an Anbu Tsunade. Also, he has earned the moniker of 'Silent Shinigami' during the war. That speaks for his prowess." Hiruzen explains to Tsunade.
"But, sensei…."
"No, buts… this is an order, Tsunade. Also, you will need his assistance during the mission. He is a part of Anbu and is skilled in tracking and assassination." Hiruzen rebukes Tsunade as he explains the mission.
"Recently, various reports of missing shinobis appeared in the village. To investigate the issue, Minato and I deployed a unit of Anbu. One of our Anbu units uncovered an underground Laboratory where some unethical and forbidden experiments are carried out without the consent of the Village. Upon further investigation, the perpetrator is found to be one of your comrade and childhood friend Hiruko.
Your mission is to uncover his motives if he doesn't comply then assassinate him. Keep in mind he is practicing a Kinjutsu, so you should be on alert when you face him.
Here is the location of his lab. Orochimaru will be your leader for the mission. Good luck with your mission."
Hiruzen passes a scroll to Orochimaru as he dismisses us. All of us flickers away from the office as we move towards the entrance of the village.
Orochimaru leads us towards the laboratory as we follow him.
"Kid, you better stay out of this mission. Such dangerous missions aren't for kids like you. You may lose your life unnecessarily." Tsunade warns me.
I am pissed off by her attitude. I know that she cares about me, but we are in the middle of a mission and the Hokage has approved my skills. Honestly, what's her problem?
'Swift Release: God Speed'
I disappear from my position as I reappear behind Tsunade with a kunai on her neck. Orochimaru and Jiraiya are stunned to see my speed. Tsunade is perplexed, but she calms down as she remarks,
"Although, your speed is impressive for your age. But it is still not enough to beat me."
She turns around and clenches her fist as she tries to punch me. I dodge her punch as she shatters a tree from her punch.
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
I cast a genjutsu on her to prevent her from attacking me. She easily dispels my genjutsu after a few seconds.
'Her Chakra control is perfect. I have yet to reach the perfect level, but I am close. Guess genjutsu from normal Sharingan can't affect her and I don't want to use my Mangekyo Sharingan unnecessarily just over a small dispute. I just have to convince her of my skills.'
I start to knead Chakra in my palms as I form a seal, I appear in front of Tsunade as I dodge one of her punch and hit her arm with my palm.
'Fuinjutsu: Chakra Suppression Seal'
A seal starts to spread over her arms as it suppressed her chakra. Ignoring the seal, she continued to punch me. Her punch still packed power despite no chakra. I redirected the shock from her punch to ground through Shock Release as I ate her punch without flinching.
Tsunade is surprised to see this. I create Rasengan and adds a little Lightning Chakra to it and throws it towards Tsunade. My Rasengan disappears as Tsunade snorts at me.
"Watch out Tsunade, his jutsu is invisible to eyes," Jiraiya warns Tsunade.
Tsunade ducks down and avoids my Rasengan. I purposely aimed it above Tsunade to avoid her. I don't want to exhaust her before the mission.
Boom…
The Rasengan collides with a nearby tree and it shatters it. It continues and creates a large crater on impact. Tsunade is shocked to see the damage caused by my jutsu.
"Tsunade, that's the S-Rank jutsu, he created on his own. And from the looks of things, it seems like he didn't infuse enough Chakra in the jutsu. He held back a lot." Jiraiya informs Tsunade, and he turns to me.
"Kid, you can use Fuinjutsu. I thought you Uchiha avoided any Non-Uchiha techniques. Most of the Uchihas I know about pride in their techniques and refuse to use any other techniques."
"I am close to Grandmaster level in Fuinjutsu and I don't discriminate between techniques as long as they aren't against my morals," I reply to Jiraiya as I walk towards the lab.
"Hold up, kid! You are close to the Grandmaster level! Even I am only a master. What kind of monster has that Minato raised?" Jiraiya complains as he follows me.
"Interesting, very interesting." Orochimaru licks his lips as he stares at Izuna with a hungry gaze.
A chill ran through my spine as I turn around to see a creepy expression on Orochimaru's face.
