Chapitre 3: Anbu Selection
Two years later, Konoha's 53rd year
Kai is only 8 years old this year.
"Hizashi-sama, I want to participate in the Anbu selection tomorrow."
Kai knelt in front of Hyuga Hizashi and knocked his head on the floor.
"Do you know how important tomorrow's selection quota will be to the Hyuga clan? They will not allow you to pass as an outsider."
"I am willing to try. If I can become an Anbu, my hope of revenge will become greater."
Hizashi sighed. He had tried countless times to persuade Kai to let go of his hatred. The fate of the branch house was to sacrifice for the main clan.
But as a husband, there is no reason to persuade Kai to let go of his hatred. Maybe he can really change Hyuga's system.
After all, Kai's talent is the strongest he has seen in so many years, even better than Kakashi.
"Okay, tomorrow you will represent the branch house with a quota."
"Yes!" Kai's eyes sparkled with excitement.
With his current strength, he would definitely be able to enter Anbu, and the first step of his plan would be completed.
A crazy plan formally formed in his head, maybe he can evolve his Byakugan, and then revenge will no longer be a fantasy.
The next day, Kai and other Hyuga branch house and main clan members went to the duel field to compete.
The main family came here just to express their attitude. Even if they were selected, they would not report to Anbu.
And among the dozens of pairs of white eyes, Kai's black pupils were particularly eye-catching.
"That guy is Hyuga disgrace, the one with impure bloodline?"
"Yes, that's that guy. His father is Hyuga Tokuma. When he was supposed to be carved with the caged bird curse seal, he delayed it for a few years. He also had Hyuga's purest byakugan."
"And now...his son can't even awaken his byakugan."
"Then why is he here?"
"I didn't know that he wouldn't even be able to awaken his eyes. When it comes to spying on the ninja, but maybe we can compete then..." a member of the Hyuga clan, made a horizontal motion on his neck.
All the Hyuga clan members showed expressions of disgust. This guy was a disgrace to Hyuga. Losing the purity of the bloodline was the most intolerable thing for the Hyuga clan.
Branch House members, on the other hand, looked at Kai's bright and clean forehead and felt comforted. This guy does not even have a caged bird curse seal. He is not a Hyuga, at most he is just a commoner.
Kai ignored everyone's comments and just stood there like a wooden sculpture.
Kai suddenly turned sideways, and a fist suddenly passed over his shoulder from behind.
"No matter what method you use to take my brother's place, I advise you to quit now and give up my brother's place."
"Otherwise, I'll let you see the power of Byakugan."
Kai ignored the provocation in this man's words and just looked at him coldly. He was waiting for the Konoha ninja to take action, or for him to take action first.
"My name is Hyuga Zhuang. Remember my name when you go to hell."
The blood vessels around Zhuang's eyes stretched: "Byakugan!"
"Gentle Fist Method·Dash!" Zhuang leapt forward in front of Kai, his palms glowed with blue light and struck Kai suddenly.
"Ah!"
A scream sounded out, and everyone thought it came from Kai, then looked around.
Kai didn't wait for the attack to land on him, he had already punched Hyuga Zhuang in the stomach in advance.
He fell to the ground in pain and retched.
"This...how is this possible, defeating a Chūnin in one go!"
"Has this guy also awakened his Byakugan?"
People around were talking a lot, but no one dared to underestimate Kai anymore, and he knocked down Chūnin with just one blow.
Moreover, the Kai in front of him looks young, about ten years old at most. With such talent, he must have entered the ranks of geniuses.
When the farce ended, the Anbu who were in charge of invigilating the exam arrived belatedly, and someone immediately took away Zhuang who had lost his fighting ability.
Anbu, the invigilator, explained the rules of the competition, "Our selection criteria are that there are no standards. Just play on this field. If you lose your fighting ability, you lose."
"Each of our captains will select ninja based on your performance."
This rule is not very friendly to Kai. As expected, after Anbu finished speaking, countless eyes looked at Kai at the same time.
Kai took a deep breath, got into a physical stance, and shouted, "Come on!"
In an instant, more than a dozen pairs of byakugan bloomed on the field at the same time, and Kai actually had to fight against more than a dozen Chūnin alone.
Several branch house members closest to Kai took the lead in launching the attack.
"Gentle Fist Method·Thirty-two Palms!"
Several people shouted in unison, and several people launched a fierce offensive at the same time.
"Hmph! Wind NinTaijutsu·Breaking Wind Palm."
Kai's palms are wrapped in wind-attribute chakra, and every palm shot brings up strong winds.
Hitting those branch house members is a bloody pit, and one blow can often make people lose their ability to resist.
Bang bang bang! Punch to the flesh, palms intersecting, the battle of taijutsu ninja is so simple and unpretentious.
In just ten seconds of confrontation, several figures had already fallen. After paying the price of blood, no one dares to be the leader.
The field became quiet for a moment. No one came forward to attack Kai, and no one attacked the people around him.
The field was quiet for a whole minute. Those Anbu couldn't hold their breath anymore. If this continued, they would not be able to recruit people.
"Kai, you have been hired by the third team. You can report to Anbu now!"
"You can come down and the next person will continue to play."
Kai walked out of the playing field, and instantly the field became lively again, and the melee officially began.
Anbu came over just after the game. The man was wearing a bull-head mask and was extremely strong. His exposed arms were also covered with scars: "I will be your future captain, codenamed Bull Horns."
"Yes, Captain."
After introducing each other, Ushikaku took Kai to the Anbu headquarters. The two jumped and walked on the roof of the building. Midway Ushikaku kept introducing Anbu's structure and rules to Kai.
Anbu has a captain and a vice-captain each, and four teams, each with 17 people. There is a squad leader with four squads, each with four people, including one squad leader and three team members.
And now the captain and vice-captain are the sons and daughters-in-law of Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Fourth Hokage died before he could even train his own team after taking over.
During the narration, he continued to speed up. He was so fast that Kai could only grit his teeth and keep up.
"Not bad, He can actually keep up." Bull praised secretly.
Anbu's headquarters was built in a forest in Konoha Village. After entering it, everyone who passed by Kai cast a surprised look.
This age is too young, right? Even a genius like Kakashi joined Anbu at the age of 14, but is the person in front of him 11 years old?
After experiencing the Nine Tails Rebellion and the Iwagakure War, Anbu suffered a serious reduction in personnel, but it would not be enough to drag a child into Anbu.
But in fact, they all miscalculated. The current Kai has a meager Senju blood and Hyuga blood, and he has this body shape after years of training.
In fact, Kai is only 8 years old.
"Cabinet No. 8 is still empty. Your future belongings will be placed there. How tall are you? I'll go to the logistics department to get you a set of equipment."
"One and a half meters, please excuse me."
"Fine."
Soon after, Ushikaku handed a set of Anbu equipment to Kai: "After changing it, go to the wall to pick a mask, go to the registration office to record your name and code, and then gather at the third training ground to participate in the initiation ceremony."
"Remember there are only code names in Anbu!"
"Understood." Hyuga quickly changed into Anbu equipment.
A set of black short-sleeved tights and pants, gray suspenders, thin armor, gray wrist guards, and finally a straight knife.
Kai put on Anbu's outfit and instantly seemed to become extremely powerful.
Walking to the mask wall, Hyuga Kai glanced around and quickly locked on a handsome wolf head mask.
Putting on the mask, Kai completely hid his face and then came to the registration office.
Under the extremely surprised eyes of the civilian staff and after repeated confirmations, they finally recorded his name, age, etc.
"Code name? It's Wolf."
"Are you sure? This codename will follow your Anbu career. If you die, it will only be this codename on your tombstone."
"Sure."
Leaving the registration office, Kai walked step by step towards training ground No. 3, where there was an initiation ceremony waiting for him.
Kai remembers that when he was watching Naruto, Itachi had to face a lot of difficulties when he joined Anbu because of his young age, let alone himself now.
...
On the other side, Bull arrived at the training ground in advance, and several people quickly gathered around and asked about the newcomer's gender and appearance.
Most of Anbu are men, and the third team is even more serious because there is a taijutsu ninja like Captain Ushikaku.
They were even more disappointed when they heard it was a little kid. They exchanged glances and decided to teach the little kid a lesson. Maybe he would be able to find a new teammate after he peed his pants.
As soon as Kai stepped into the training ground, several kunai and shurikens attacked him.
He had no intention of dodging, kept his eyes straight, and continued to move forward resolutely.
This scene is exactly the same as Uchiha Itachi's initiation ceremony. Is it Anbu's tradition?
The hidden weapon almost flew past Kai's body. The Anbu members just wanted to scare him, not take his life.
Kai walked up to everyone and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "My codename is Wolf. I am good at physical skills. Please take good care of me in the future."
No one among the seventeen people at the scene responded, obviously they didn't take him seriously.
Kai knew that it would be difficult to convince the crowd, so he walked to two adjacent big trees.
He quickly formed a seal with his hands, "Thunder NinTaijutsu: Thunder Palm."
I saw thunder and lightning in his palm, and he slapped the tree in front of him, but the tree did not move at all, only a few leaves were blown down by the breeze.
Kai turned around and looked at everyone.
Everyone thought he was showing off and were about to laugh at him.
Kai lightly snapped his fingers, "Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the trees fell down. It turned out that the tree he hit just now was safe and sound, but the adjacent tree behind it was hit by the released thunder.
The big tree that fell to the ground seemed to be Kai's demonstration to everyone.
Those who were just about to laugh could neither close nor open their mouths. In the end, they could only hold back one sentence: "Welcome to the third team..."
"Welcome, my codename is: Wolf. I am good at reconnaissance and Fire Style Ninjutsu."
Everyone was impressed by Kai's power. They all also spoke to welcome Kai to join them and introduced themselves.
Among them, there are actually two acquaintances who are not close acquaintances, Hatake Kakashi and Yamato, who is still just called Tenzo.
Seeing that Kai had completed the first trial of joining the team, Captain Ushikaku nodded secretly.
"Kakashi, your team still lacks a taijutsu ninja, he will be your team member from now on."
"Okay, Captain."
Kakashi has not been promoted to squad leader at this time, but when Uchiha Itachi enters Anbu, he should be able to take charge of his own role.
"Let me introduce you to our teammates."
"Kakashi, good at Lightning Style, Earth Style and sword skills."
"Tenzo, good at Water Style, Earth Style Ninjutsu."
"Rain, good at perception and detection."
Then he pointed at Kai: "Wolf, you heard it just now."
"Please take care of me."
