"Yes, Lord Minato!"
When Koshino quickly mastered the Twin Rasengan and Rasengan Throwing Technique using the APP's accelerated training, the Fourth Hokage's suggestion for Koshino to join Kakashi's Anbu squad was not the outcome Koshino had hoped for.
Nodding reluctantly, Koshino agreed to join Kakashi's Anbu squad. Seeing the playful look in Kakashi's eyes, Koshino felt his troubles increasing.
Not only did Koshino and Kakashi have many misunderstandings, but they also couldn't see eye to eye.
Joining Kakashi's Anbu squad felt awkward to Koshino, dampening his enthusiasm for training.
Yet, the Fourth Hokage's decision was final, and neither Koshino nor Kakashi could change it. In fact, the Fourth Hokage wanted Koshino in Kakashi's squad for Koshino's benefit. Completing missions would provide Koshino with valuable combat experience, increasing his survival chances in future battles.
Additionally, the Fourth Hokage had another reason for assigning Koshino to Kakashi's squad.
He knew he wouldn't have time to guide Koshino and Kakashi's training in the near future.
The reason? Koshino's earlier training with the Rasengan Throwing Technique.
Years ago, before Jiraiya left the village, the Fourth Hokage was inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball to create a non-hand-sign jutsu. After three years of effort and some guidance from his mentor, Jiraiya, he finally developed the A-Rank Rasengan. However, he had only mastered the Rasengan, not simplified its training method.
Recently, through correspondence with Jiraiya, the Fourth Hokage simplified the Rasengan training, leading to his instruction of Koshino and Kakashi.
However, during this simplification process, both he and Jiraiya hit a bottleneck in Rasengan's development.
Koshino's Twin Rasengan and Rasengan Throwing Technique inspired the Fourth Hokage, giving him new ideas for advanced Rasengan techniques.
If the original story's Fourth Hokage had lived longer, techniques like the Big Ball Rasengan and Wind Release: Rasenshuriken might have been developed earlier.
Currently, the Fourth Hokage, inspired by Koshino, had new ideas for advanced Rasengan techniques. In a way, Koshino had altered the Fourth Hokage's life trajectory.
This could change the outcome of the Nine-Tails incident.
Unaware of his impact, Koshino's main concern was not to suffer under Kakashi's leadership.
"Joining Kakashi's Anbu squad, with him as both a senior and the captain, he'll likely give me a hard time."
"Sigh, if only Kakashi had the same personality as in the original story, not this nitpicky person."
"I need to improve my strength to avoid his difficulties quickly."
"Fortunately, the advanced Rasengan techniques, combined with APP's accelerated training, will boost my strength significantly!"
"With the Twin Rasengan and Rasengan Throwing Technique, two nearly fatal jutsus, I won't be as helpless against Kakashi as before."
Watching Kakashi start the second stage of Rasengan training under the Fourth Hokage's guidance, Koshino used the available training time to practice the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Seeing Koshino use shadow clones, the Fourth Hokage and Kakashi, aware of Koshino's talent for jutsus, were only slightly surprised and resumed their training. Koshino then directed his clones.
"Three clones for the Big Ball Rasengan training should suffice. Once it's added to the progress bar, APP will complete the training."
"The remaining three clones..."
"Ha!"
"Let's innovate with the Rasengan!"
With a gleam in his eyes, Koshino thought:
"If I can use a Rasengan with just a finger, my chakra control will improve further."
"Alright! I'll name this new jutsu Finger Rasengan!"
"Shadow clones, begin training!"
While his clones trained, Koshino continued practicing Leaf Strong Fist Taijutsu with weights.
As the sun began to set, Kakashi, under the Fourth Hokage's guidance, nearly completed the second stage of Rasengan training. By tomorrow, he'd start the third and final stage.
Some might wonder why Kakashi progressed so quickly with Rasengan training.
Kakashi is a Jonin who created the S-Rank Chidori. His chakra control was already exceptional.
With the Fourth Hokage's guidance and the simplified training method, Kakashi quickly grasped Rasengan's nuances and was nearing its completion. He even began reducing the Sharingan's drain on his chakra.
Despite Kakashi's rapid progress, Koshino's APP-assisted training allowed him to advance even faster.
When Koshino's clones disappeared, the Finger Rasengan and Big Ball Rasengan were added to his training progress.
With a simple modification, Koshino mastered both advanced Rasengan techniques, further enhancing his strength.
As Koshino and Kakashi completed their training, the Fourth Hokage, eager to develop advanced Rasengan techniques, departed early.
After the Fourth Hokage left, Koshino awkwardly restored his chakra in front of Kakashi. Seeing Koshino's chakra replenished, Kakashi coldly glanced at him and said, "Koshino, you're not familiar with the other members of our Anbu squad."
"I'll introduce you once they arrive."

"Thank you, Captain Kakashi."
Hearing Kakashi's words, Koshino secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Kakashi could be reliable when handling official matters.
But as soon as Koshino thought that, Kakashi reverted to his usual self, coldly reprimanding, "What captain? Koshino, from now on, call me Captain!"
"Yes, Captain!"
As expected, not long after the Fourth Hokage left, Kakashi became his prickly self again.
But what could Koshino do?
After all, Kakashi was the captain.
To survive well in the Anbu squad, Koshino could only play the obedient role. Fortunately, having experienced nearly "killing" Koshino, Kakashi had toned down a lot. After receiving a satisfactory response, Kakashi led Koshino to their Anbu squad's meeting place.
In the Hidden Leaf Village, there were specific locations for Anbu meetings.
However, Koshino was just a "temp," and Kakashi's Anbu squad also included a few other "temps" like Koshino. So, the meeting place was not particularly formal, just a secluded training ground not far from where Koshino and Guy trained.
Upon arriving, Koshino saw two Anbu members already waiting.
These two Anbu were about the same height as Kakashi, indicating they were also young.
Seeing Kakashi and Koshino's approach, the two Anbu were initially surprised by Koshino's age. Under Kakashi's cold gaze, they quickly scratched their heads and greeted Kakashi:
"Captain, you're here!"
"Yes, I'm here."
Kakashi nodded silently, and his icy demeanor softened a bit.
But the more Kakashi acted this way, the more Koshino felt he was challenging to deal with.
It was hard for Koshino to imagine not being "worn out" by Kakashi in the Anbu squad.
However, Koshino felt somewhat lucky that, aside from Kakashi, the other two young Anbu were relatively easy to talk to.
Seeing Koshi no's young age and his inclusion in the Anbu, they were keen to make friends, introducing themselves after greeting Kakashi:
"Hello, new partner. My name is Taisuke Raidou."
"And I'm Iwashi Tatami!"
"Nice to meet you!"
"Hello, my name is Nara Koshino. Please take care of me!"
Koshino had no problem with social interactions.
Apart from Kakashi, who was difficult to approach, Koshino had no trouble mingling with his new teammates.
Moreover, hearing the names Taisuke Raidou and Iwashi Tatami gave Koshino a sense of familiarity.
It turned out that Taisuke Raidou and Iwashi Tatami were minor characters in the original storyline.
In the original story, Taisuke Raidou was a special jonin, while Iwashi Tatami was just a regular chunin.
However, Koshino wouldn't underestimate their abilities, knowing they were members of the Fourth Hokage's guard team. During the Fourth Shinobi War, Taisuke Raidou and Iwashi Tatami worked with Genma Shiranui to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer the Fifth Mizukage.
Of course, compared to Kakashi, Taisuke Raidou and Iwashi Tatami were just minor characters.
Koshino, however, didn't view them with bias, especially given their friendliness. Soon, Koshino got along well with them. Through their conversations, Koshino learned about the other members of Kakashi's Anbu squad.
One of them was an old acquaintance of Koshino, the freshly tested Might Guy.
The other member turned out to be Genma Shiranui.
Before long, Might Guy and Genma Shiranui arrived at the meeting point.
Seeing Guy covered in sweat, it was clear he had been training before the meeting.
On the other hand, Genma Shiranui's face turned pale upon seeing Koshino.
Through their conversation, Koshino discovered that Genma Shiranui was one of the Anbu who attacked him the other day, specifically the one with the pig-faced mask.
In this Anbu squad, Koshino and Guy were the newcomers, while Kakashi, Taisuke Raidou, Iwashi Tatami, and Genma Shiranui had been working together for a long time. After some introductions, Kakashi cleared his throat, bringing the group to silence.
Scanning the group and finally resting his gaze on Koshino, Kakashi, wearing his Anbu mask, began to outline their upcoming mission:
"According to intel, a band of bandits has recently appeared in the Land of Fire, likely spies from another country. Our mission is simple: eliminate the bandits and investigate their identities to confirm if they are indeed spies."
"Since Koshino and Guy are new to the Anbu, there are some rules you must follow!"
"Three rules!"
"First, follow the captain's orders during missions!"
"Second, do not interfere with matters outside the mission, even if you encounter villagers in danger!"
"Third, do not reveal your identity during missions!"
"Koshino, Guy, choose your code names!"
"Yes!"
Previously, Koshino had learned that Kakashi's code name was "Fang," Genma Shiranui's was "Flame," Taisuke Raidou's was "Lightning," and Iwashi Tatami's was "Sense."
Without hesitation, Koshino chose "Shadow," representing the Nara clan's signature jutsu. Unexpectedly, Guy chose "Turtle," leaving Koshino, Kakashi, and the others with black lines across their faces.
With the code names decided, it was time to head out on their mission.
This was Koshino's first mission outside the village, filling him with excitement.
However, the thrill quickly faded as Koshino witnessed the Anbu's ruthless methods, realizing:
"Even being a 'temp' in the Anbu is no easy task!"
