章節 91: Assessment
Konoha, training ground number eight.
A large number of Shinobi wearing Anbu's uniform gathered here.
Today was the day for Anbu's training team to take the test.
The members of the training team were not the only ones present, the fourth Hokage's Anbu Division and Minato were also present.
The members of the training team stood in three rows, facing Nagasawa and Minato.
Anbu of the first Division stood behind Nagasawa and Minato, curiously sizing up the training team.
Since the Anbu that joined the training team had signed a confidentiality agreement, the member of the Anbu first Division didn't know the exact situation even though they knew that Anbu had a new special training team.
"The assessment only tested the compulsory part, which is their proficiency in Six Powers..." Nagasawa told Minato about the assessment.
"I have set a passing grade. They will pass if they at least meet the standard, but if they don't, I will have to increase their training menu."
Minato nodded. This method was undoubtedly more humane than using ranking to decide who would be punished.
If Nagasawa used a ranking system, some people were bound to rank pretty low, but with passing and failing, the goal was clearer.
Of course, if they all did badly, he could fail them all.
"Let's begin." Nagasawa said to Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded and walked out of the line. In today's assessment, he'd be in charge of assessing Geppo, Soru, and Shigan, while Midori Inuzuka was in charge of Tekkai, Rankyaku, and Kami-e.
Ensui was on duty today, so they'd have to assess three different moves.
Kakashi actually did not like this kind of thing. He even felt that this assessment was not very meaningful.
He didn't really care about which system Nagasawa used. If the training team did poorly, they were simply not good enough, and if they did well, then it was all good.
However, no matter how much he complained in his heart, it was the Commander's order, so he had to do it.
Kakashi looked at the members of the training team indifferently and said,
"Three minutes later, Geppo's assessment will begin. Those who choose Geppo can start warming up, and the rest can prepare themselves until their assessment begins."
Hearing Kakashi's words, the members of the training team began to warm up one after another while those who chose other Six Powers went somewhere else to make their own preparation.
After two and a half minutes, Kakashi looked at the time and said,
"The test for Geppo is about to begin. I will first announce the standard of the test. If you can use Geppo up to ten meters above the ground for more than one and a half minutes, you pass. It will be excellent if you can get up to 20 meters above the ground for more than two and a half minutes."
As the assessment began, Kakashi called the name of the participants in alphabetic order.
Because there were not many members of the training team, Kakashi only had 16 people who needed to participate in the assessment, so they took the assessment one by one.
The Anbu, whose name was called, was excited as they wanted to show off what they were capable of in front of the Hokage.
Minato watched the Anbu using Geppo like they were walking up the stairs, and his eyes lit up.
"This Taijutsu is very practical. You can catch the enemy by surprise from the sky. It is also very convenient to escape. Most Shinobi won't be able to catch up after all.
Jumping up ten meters was very easy for Minato. Even most Shinobi could easily do so, but that was it. They couldn't float in the air.
However, this technique wouldn't be useful for someone who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique like him.
Flying Thunder God Technique boosted Minato's mobility was directly filled up. He did not need Geppo or Soru to increase his speed.
"If it is not practical, I will not form this training team," Nagasawa said with a smile.
Six Powers might not seem that amazing for a truly skilled Shinobi, but it was very suitable and practical for most Shinobi.
At this time, the First Division that Minato invited also developed an interest in Geppo.
If they learned this Taijutsu, they could complete various missions easier, even though this wasn't necessarily a Ninjutsu that gave them the ability to fly.
Even if it were just a short period of time, it could give Shinobi more options.
Some of the Shinobi in the First Division were interested in joining the training team.
It was not like they did not know the people from the training team. They were all the Fourth Hokage's Anbu that had just been established. They had basically carried out missions together, so they all knew each other.
Since the Second Division could join, there was no reason they could not join.
Besides, since it was Anbu Training Team, its purpose must be to train Anbu, right?
After Geppo' assessment ended, what came next was Soru's assessment.
For Soru, the shorter the time the participant took to reach the designated location, the higher their score would be.
Soru was not as stunning as Geppo for Minato. However, Minato knew that this Taijutsu also was quite versatile, too.
Compared to the ordinary Body Flicker Technique that required hand seals, Soru had an obvious advantage. It could be used together with many Ninjutsu, too.
The First Division also thought that this Taijutsu was good. They believed that they could improve their mobility if they learned it.
Not long after, all the Six Powers' assessments were concluded, and Minato paid attention to all of them.
He had to admit that Nagasawa was really powerful. He actually created a series of Taijutsu that was completely different from the existing Taijutsu in Konoha, and all of them were versatile.
At this moment, he was glad that he had invited Nagasawa to Anbu. Otherwise, he would blame himself for letting a genius like Nagasawa remain a Chunin.
Soon, Kakashi showed Nagasawa the results of the assessments he was in charge of. All the participants passed, and none of them were below the passing grade.
Nagasawa nodded with satisfaction. Then again, the standard he made was based on the training progress, so as long as they did not slack off, they should pass.
However, training couldn't be treated the same as the assessment.
During training, even if there was a mistake, it was nothing. It'd also be good for their mentality.
However, the Commander and the Hokage were both watching when it came to assessment. If they failed, there would be punishment. The pressure was obviously much more significant than usual.
"You guys did quite well today. In addition, your current assessment results will be considered in your promotion. Continue to work hard."
Nagasawa said something that made the outstanding Anbu ecstatic.
The Shinobi, who barely passed, was also stunned. They were motivated to work hard, build their strength, and get promoted.
Minato closed off the assessments with some words of encouragement to motivate everyone.
