"I understand."
White Fang nodded with a smile. Indeed, with Fuyuki's strength, other squads would not be suitable for him. One must know that the First Squad of the Anbu had always been the strongest squad in the entire Anbu, and its captain was White Fang himself, who was the Anbu Captain.
In Konoha, almost all strong ninjas had served in the First Squad of the Anbu.
The Sannin, White Fang, Minato, Fuyuki himself, and later Kakashi and Uchiha Obito, were all like this.
"Let's go."
Knowing that the Hokage was busy, White Fang beckoned to Fuyuki and led him out of the office. Ordinary people needed to be humble and respectful, but powerful shinobi of Kage-level had certain privileges and didn't need to be so concerned about those rigid rules.
You don't see the way the Sannin address the Third Hokage. It makes one speechless. They call him "Third Old Man," or even just "Old Man" directly, skipping the "Third" altogether!
Compared to them, White Fang was relatively more conventional, always addressing him as Hokage.
"Mm."
Following White Fang out of the Hokage's office, the two headed towards the Anbu headquarters.
"Captain!"
"Captain is back."
It could be seen that White Fang had a high reputation in the Anbu. Along the way, everyone smiled and greeted him, many of them still wearing masks.
"Hello everyone." White Fang responded with a smile.
Fuyuki followed behind White Fang and said with emotion, "Uncle White Fang's reputation in the Anbu is truly high. I estimate that even if the Sannin came over, they wouldn't be able to compare to you."
"Staying in one position for a long time, one's prestige will naturally be higher. Similarly, in the village, the Sannin's prestige will also be higher than mine. But I think highly of you. Keep up the good work. Perhaps in the future, I'll even call you 'Lord Hokage'."
White Fang chuckled, making a joke.
Fuyuki rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Uncle White Fang, that joke isn't funny at all."
"Hahaha, I know, but at least there's hope, isn't there?" White Fang didn't mind and chuckled.
This is truly, how did this news spread everywhere again?
If this continues, won't others mistakenly believe that the Fourth Hokage's position is already mine, Uchiha Fuyuki's property?
This could offend quite a few people. For example, the shadowy figures in the dark, or Orochimaru, who wants to become Hokage, or Minato (a.e.i.) and others who want to become the Fourth Hokage.
"This is the newcomer Uchiha Fuyuki. Give him a set of equipment."
Everyone who joins the Anbu receives a new set of equipment. It can be replaced if destroyed in battle in the future. But everyone will choose a mask that represents themselves and also choose a codename.
For example, White Fang's real name was Hatake Sakumo, and his Anbu codename was White Fang. This codename spread from the short blade he used. Over time, everyone now calls him White Fang instead of Hatake Sakumo.
"You need to think of some codenames. From now on, during Anbu missions, you will only use codenames and not address each other by their actual names."
Handing the equipment to Fuyuki, White Fang explained:
"This can save the Anbu a lot of trouble. You also know that many times, the Anbu's missions are more about preventing retaliation and exposure."
"I understand. Then let's call it Rinnegan."
He had transmigrated, which was equivalent to a reincarnation. Plus, he would also have a pair of Rinnegan in the future, so Fuyuki simply used "Rinnegan" as his codename.
A more important reason was that Fuyuki was too lazy to think too much; it was just a codename. This codename was rarely used in the Anbu, and very few people became famous with a codename like White Fang.
"Rinnegan?"
White Fang raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Not bad, then Rinnegan it is. Go, choose your mask."
Everyone in the Anbu would choose a unique mask. Although it couldn't be said that everyone's mask was different, at least people in the same squad couldn't have the same one.
"Mm..."
Fuyuki looked at the masks hanging on the wall, feeling a bit conflicted, because these masks were all animal faces, like pigs, monkeys, and such. They looked really strange.
"Oh! I'll take this one."
Suddenly, Fuyuki saw a dust-covered mask hanging in the corner of the wall. The mask was very special; it wasn't a common animal, but a Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails!!!
"Uh, you want him?"
White Fang saw Fuyuki choose the Nine-Tails mask. He was surprised for a moment. Fuyuki picked up the mask, wiped the dust off it, and asked, "Can't I?"
"It's not that you can't, it's just that generally, no one would choose it. It's mainly because of respect and fear."
White Fang gave a wry smile and explained.
"This mask has been in the Anbu for a long time, but no one has ever chosen it, because it was used by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju."
"Oh? Tobirama Senju!!!"
Fuyuki was slightly surprised. He never thought this mask would have such significance. But this way, Fuyuki became even more determined to choose it. Since Tobirama Senju chose it, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?
"Yes, that's why it wasn't chosen. However, there's no rule saying you can't choose this mask, so let it be. The Third Hokage will definitely be very surprised."
White Fang chuckled, patted Fuyuki's shoulder, and led him to the First Squad's rest room and changing room.
The rest room and changing room were connected, providing a place for the Anbu squad to rest and change clothes. Of course, it was also often a place for the squad to discuss.
"Captain!!!"
The five members of the Anbu's First Squad were all very excited to see White Fang.
"Hello everyone, long time no see. This is our newcomer, Uchiha Fuyuki. Perhaps you've heard of his great name. So, I hope that some things I don't like to see won't happen. Of course, if you really want to do something, I won't stop you, but don't come complaining to me if you lose face. This young fellow is very strong. He's not easy to deal with."
White Fang patted Fuyuki's shoulder as he introduced him. His words were a bit exaggerated, leaving Fuyuki speechless. What, you're not even his match, and you're praising me like this?
"Heh heh, of course we know. Kato Dan is still in the hospital. We wouldn't dare bully a newcomer, Captain, so rest assured."
