Code Name: Beaver
Night
The fire blazed and the mountain wind howled.
The destroyed village cried out in the flames, and one could see a figure struggling inside the village.
Suddenly, a figure appeared amidst the fire, wrapped in a wet blanket, running out of the burning village in a panic.
However, before they could go far, a small figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The man gasped for breath, staring at the figure before him with fear.
Dressed in black ninja clothes, a standard black and gray vest, with a mask resembling a raccoon's face, and a small sword on his back—Konoha's possession.
Bright pink hair fluttered in the mountain wind, and through the eyeholes of the mask, a faint green gleam could be seen. It was just a "child."
But when the man saw this "child," his face filled with terror, and he even gasped in extreme fear.
"Don't... don't kill me... I didn't do anything..."
"It's all their fault... everyone else did it. I never killed anyone... let me go..."
The man cried out and immediately knelt, begging for mercy.
Click.
The ninja sword on the back of the "child" was drawn, and the cold light swiftly cut through the man's throat without hesitation.
At that moment, three figures dressed like "children" appeared behind Beaver.
"This is Beaver's first mission, and she did well."
Tenzō praised Beaver.
Three days had passed since joining ANBU, and this was Sakura's first mission.
It was a B-rank mission. The fortress was full of bandits. In addition to daily robberies and extortions, they seemed to have connections with foreign trade and were suspected of being involved in smuggling.
However, Sakura understood that missions like this were actually meant to make her bleed.
The essence of being a ninja is to be a killer.
The mission giver pays, and the ninja does the job.
As a ninja, if you don't have blood on your hands, you might as well go find a village and farm.
"What are you thinking?"
As the team captain, Tenzō not only liked to complain, but he also had a personality that was quite gentle and friendly.
"No, I was just wondering who is behind this bandit group."
Sakura slightly shook her head.
Because it was mentioned in the mission that this group of bandits was suspected to be involved in foreign trade, they surely had contact information with them.
Unfortunately, Tenzō did not arrange for her to go to the leader of the group to gather intelligence.
"Don't think too much about it. It's not our concern."
Uzuki Yugao, codename Nightingale, patted Sakura's shoulder and reminded her.
"Let's go. Today is Beaver's first mission. Once we return to the village, I'll treat everyone to barbecue."
Tenzō looked at Sakura in surprise. He thought she would feel physically uncomfortable after killing someone for the first time, but he didn't expect her to be more concerned about the existence behind the mission.
But this was better. He didn't have to worry about guiding a new ninja who had just been assigned here after graduating.
"As expected from the captain, you're really generous."
The last member of the team, codename Black Knife, was similar to him.
In the original story, he was a member of the Eternal Duo who participated in the Akatsuki siege. He once fought with Kakuzu, and with the protection of Yamashiro Aoba, he cut Kakuzu's mask with his sword.
He could be considered a formidable player.
Uzuki Yugao was an expert in the art of swordsmanship and mastered the Crescent Moon Dance of Konoha. She was also a sensor and medical ninja.
That was her cure-all.
Tenzo Yamato, Uzuki Yugao Nightingale, and Black Knife were similar.
The Anbu team arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen for Sakura was an elite team.
As for seeing blood?
Sakura didn't feel anything.
Perhaps because she had experienced everything Sakura from the Ninja War had gone through, even seeing blood seemed like a normal thing for her.
Sakura understood that even the original Sakura, who appeared to be a clumsy teenage girl, and Naruto, who was optimistic and cheerful, must have blood on their hands, but the production team simply didn't show this part.
When they returned to Konoha, it was almost noon.
Seeing the gates of Konoha so close, the elderly gatekeepers, Kamizuki Izumo and Raido Namiashi, had already taken their positions respectfully.
Tenzō and his three team members immediately flew toward the gates of Konoha.
Kamizuki Izumo was still thinking of stopping a few people as usual, but a kunai with perfect precision was immediately nailed to the gate with a sound that split the air.
The four of them ignored the two gatekeepers and immediately jumped, leaving only their beautiful shadows behind.
"Enough with these people, they always try to show off like this. Anbu is really something."
Kamizuki Izumo stepped forward and pulled out the kunai with some difficulty, then looked at it with all the necessary documents and couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't say that. At least we have more kunai than we can use."
"You could make money by taking it to the ninja weapon shop."
Raido thought far ahead.
Sakura followed Tenzō and the others as they swiftly flew across the rooftops of Konoha.
However, when passing over a river, Sakura couldn't help but glance again.
Why does this man always sit there without doing anything...? Naruto seemed to sense something and accidentally looked back but found nothing.
"Did you meet someone you know?"
Uzuki Yugao, who was ahead of Sakura, seemed to notice Sakura was daydreaming and couldn't help but ask.
"I met a classmate from the Ninja School."
Upon hearing Sakura's words, Raido Namiashi couldn't help but interrupt and said:
"Now that I remember, Beaver is also a genius."
"It's rare to see a ninja graduate from the Ninja School at eight years old, even during wartime."
"The only one stronger than a raccoon might be Kakashi-senpai."
ANBU ninjas were not as strict as many people thought. In fact, they were quite relaxed. At least in the original story, Uchiha Itachi once appeared at his home in an ANBU uniform. It was just that the mission he was on was a bit suspicious.
"Is that Kakashi-senpai?"
Hearing someone mention the teacher who would be the instructor of Team 7, Sakura followed by saying.
"Yes, that's Kakashi, known as the Copy Ninja."
"But he's a very strong person. If Beaver has a chance in the future, she could go meet him."
Seeing a few people starting to chat, Tenzō said:
"Alright, enough talk."
"We've arrived at the Hokage Building."
The missions run by ANBU were not under the jurisdiction of the mission department but were directly reported to the Hokage.
Therefore, every time they reported a mission, they had to meet with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Tenzō and his three team members didn't go through the main door but directly flew toward the Hokage Building's roof and entered through the rooftop.
