After returning from the training camp, the temporary captain of the Anbu’s sixth team, Tenzo, along with Itachi, were summoned to Eagle’s office.
“Commander.” The two knocked on the door and entered, only to see the Anbu Commander standing with his hands behind his back by the window, leaving them with a glimpse of his vicissitudes.
“You're here.”
Eagle turned around to look at them and said, “Tenzo, how long have you been in the Anbu?”
“This…” Tenzo showed a pensive expression, but couldn't recall how long it had been, so he could only shake his head, “I’m sorry, I don’t rember.”
‘This conversation is a bit awkward…’ Eagle cleared his throat and quickly changed the topic, “Anyway, Tenzo, the new graduates of the Academy have co out. And Hokage-sama hopes that you can temporarily leave the Anbu and take on the role of a Jonin Instructor.”
“No problem, I'm willing!” Tenzo replied loudly.
‘I'm just a brick in the village. Wherever it needs to be moved, I will move!’
Tenzo’s political consciousness is exemplary!
“Very good!”
Eagle nodded in relief and then turned to look at Itachi, and said with a smile, “Itachi, in Tenzo’s absence, you will temporarily serve as the sixth team’s captain. Is there any question?”
“No.” Itachi was nodded expressionlessly.
“Work hard. The future belongs to you.”
Eagle encouraged with a sentence, and then dismissed him, “Itachi, you may leave first.”
“Yes.”
After Itachi left, Eagle stepped forward and patted Tenzo’s shoulder, then said, “Tenzo, do you know which team Hokage-sama wants you to lead as a Jonin Instructor?”
Tenzo’s heart stirred, and there was a faint guess in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and shook his head: “I don’t know.”
“It is Team 7, composed of Namikaze Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Karin.” Eagle said solemnly.
‘Sure enough…’ Tenzo nodded, solemnly assuring, “Commander, rest assured, I will teach them all equally well and strive to nurture them into pillars of the village as soon as possible!”
“That's not what I wanted to tell you.”
Eagle said in a low voice, “Naruto’s identity is sowhat special…”
“Commander!!” Tenzo’s square-shaped suddenly showed a wretched expression, “I know, Naruto is Hokage-sama’s son.”
“…”
Eagle’s face twitched, and he coughed dryly, “It’s not that… although that's also an important point. What I an is, Naruto is not only the son of Hokage-sama, but also the Jinchuriki of the village!”
“Jinchuriki?” Tenzo’s almond-shaped pupils widened: ‘Naruto is actually a Jinchuriki?’
“Yes.”
Eagle said, “This is why Hokage-sama chose you as Team 7’s Jonin Instructor!”
“Because My Wood Release…” Tenzo suddenly realized.
“Yes. Although Hokage-sama is very confident in the Fuinjutsu he set up, Naruto will inevitably go out of the village to train after becoming a Shinobi. If there is an unexpected situation that causes the seal to fail, then your Wood Release will be needed to suppress the Biju!”
“I understand!” Tenzo’s expression beca serious, “I will definitely ensure the safety of the Jinchuriki!”
Eagle said solemnly, “I believe in you, Tenzo. Work hard, the future belongs to you!”
‘I seed to have heard this sentence sowhere before…’ Tenzo repeatedly nodded: “Yes!”
…
The sun is setting.
Today, Fugaku ca ho from work early to celebrate the graduation and team allocation of his youngest son!
Mikoto also prepared a table full of dishes.
However, during dinner, Sasuke's enthusiasm was clearly lacking.
Seeing this, Fugaku frowned slightly: “Sasuke, why the long face?”
Sasuke turned his head and remained silent, sitting there with a sulky expression, as if the world owes him.
His expression directly offended the head of the family, Fugaku's dignity, ‘I turned off the whole array of majestic entertainnts today, such as barbecue, drinking, sauna, hot spring, and especially co ho early to celebrate for you, but you brat actually dares to give such ugly expressions?’
‘Who do you think you are? Itachi?!’
However, as soon as he wanted to show his power, he was interrupted by his eldest son, Itachi.
“Sasuke, what's wrong?” Itachi asked gently.
Fugaku picked up his cup discontentedly and poured himself a drink.
“Big brother…”
Sasuke glanced at him. Although they had so unpleasantness for a while, after all, he was his real brother, so there were so things he could only say to him. Said, Sasuke hesitated for a mont before finally speaking up, “It’s because of the team allocation.”
“Team allocation? Did you get placed in the sa team as soone you don't like?” Mikoto worriedly said, “That's not good.”
It’s not wrong for her to say so. After all, if mbers of a team couldn't cooperate and got into conflicts during missions, it could lead to mission failure at best and casualties at worst!
Mikoto looked towards Fugaku, seeking help: “Fugaku, do you think…”
“Hmph.” Fugaku slamd his cup on the table heavily, ‘Now you rember ?’
‘But as an advisor, I can indeed do sothing…’
“I got placed in the sa team as that guy Naruto.” Sasuke said with a sullen face.
‘As the honorable advisor of Konoha, how could I use my position for personal gain?’
Fugaku picked up his cup again without changing his expression and continued drinking.
Itachi gave a faint smile and said, “You still haven't reconciled with Naruto?”
“I will never reconcile with him, never!” Sasuke said angrily.
‘That bastard Naruto has publicly humiliated several tis, and you want to reconcile with him?’
‘Do I, Uchiha Sasuke no longer care about my face?!’
‘Big brother actually helped outsiders… hmph, I hate you!’
Sasuke’s inner drama flared up again.
“Fugaku.” Mikoto looked towards Fugaku again,
“The team allocation is a matter of the Academy. How could I, as an advisor, intervene with it?” Fugaku put down his cup heavily, glaring at his wife with frustration, “Mikoto, don’t force to make mistakes!”
“I’m sorry.” Mikoto quickly apologized in a low voice.
“Mom, Dad probably doesn't help because Naruto's father is the Hokage. There's no need to apologize to him!” Sasuke said angrily.
“Bastard, is this how you talk to your father?!” Fugaku was furious.
Sasuke didn’t dare to face his angry father directly, so he quickly got up and left.
“Father, Sasuke didn't an it, please don't be angry with him.” Itachi quickly covered for his brother.
“You always spoil your brother!” Fugaku was extrely dissatisfied.
Itachi showed a wry smile, then changed the subject and ntioned that Tenzo would be the Jonin Instructor for Sasuke’s team.
“Tenzo?” When Fugaku heard this na, his attention was indeed diverted and he asked in surprise, “Itachi, isn't he in the sa team as you?”
“Because Naruto is…”
Itachi's eyes flashed, “So Hokage-sama temporarily transferred him away from Anbu.”
‘Because Naruto is what?’
‘That’s right, he is the Hokage’s son!’
‘Is this considered using his position for personal gain?’
Fugaku frowned at this, ‘As an Advisor, I haven't used my position for the benefit of my own son, and yet, you, Namikaze Minato, as the Yondai Hokage, with strong features, unexpectedly… I look down on you!’
Seeing that his father seed increasingly unhappy, Itachi had to say sothing cheerful, like… his temporary appointnt as the Captain of the sixth team.
“What? Itachi, you are now the Captain of Anbu’s sixth team?” Fugaku beca excited.
“Father, it’s a temporary captain.” Itachi was a bit puzzled by his father's reaction.
“Cough!”
Fugaku cleared his throat and pretended to be serious, “Itachi, co to my study. I have sothing important to ask you!”
