"Oh? You actually designed your own weapon? Tell me about it." Kakashi's interest was piqued, he suddenly stopped and turned back to ask Haryu.
"It's a weapon stored in the sleeve, I call it a sleeve dagger. There's a slide that allows it to freely extend and retract in the sleeve. Its movement is triggered by a specific finger position, achieving complete concealment and suddenness."
"I really can't tell, why would you have this kind of design?" Itachi was also surprised to encounter Haryu's unique idea for the first time.
"Hmm, how should I say it? It's kind of a dream I had when I was little. I dreamt of this thing once, and then I designed it myself, but I haven't had a chance to make it." Haryu was only telling half the truth, but it was pretty much like that.
"Alright, we're here. Let's go in." Yamato was the first to see the base, so he took the lead.
"Yo, long time no see." Kakashi sighed, and followed in. This could be considered the stage where he spent his childhood and youth, right?
"Haryu, come with me. Itachi, take Kakashi-senpai to the lounge." Yamato took Haryu to get his equipment, and also sent Itachi to take Kakashi away. After all, he could only bow his head when Kakashi was around.
"Let's get your uniform first. The Anbu's standard uniform includes a black robe, a set of iron body armor, and two tool pouches. By the way, this is the forehead protector Hokage-sama gave you. If you don't want a sword, we won't give you one." Yamato said, bringing Haryu a complete set of uniform that fit him perfectly, except for the sword, and handed him the forehead protector that symbolized becoming a ninja. "The changing room is over there, go change first. The Anbu's rules are strict!" Yamato pointed him in the right direction and went to get the mask.
"Captain Yamato, why is this one gray?" Haryu noticed something different, so he immediately stopped Yamato.
"You'll know soon enough."
"So this is the Anbu base. It's actually a little like what I imagined, cold and dark. But there's still some humanity. I'll change first, I have to follow the rules." Haryu put the forehead protector on his forehead, then started putting on the armor and robe.
"Whew, it fits so well, and it's easy to move in. It's really Hokage-direct equipment." Coming out of the changing room, Haryu commented as he felt the uniform.
"It seems like you like it, this is your mask, it's a fox. Your codename is Tenryū, pleased to meet you."
"Tenryū? That's a coincidence. Okay, pleased to meet you, Captain Yamato." Slowly putting on the mask, Haryu felt a little strange. This was the first time he had observed the world through two small holes.
Very uncomfortable.
"You can't take off the mask here, it'll be uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it. Let's go, meet up with Kakashi-senpai." As someone who had been there, Yamato put on his own mask and comforted Haryu. He knew the uncomfortable feeling of obstructed vision.
"Kakashi-senpai." The two of them arrived at the lounge, and there were two people sitting there, both wearing masks. There was no doubt that it was Itachi and Kakashi. But it was a little surprising to Yamato that Kakashi would carry his Anbu mask with him.
"Haryu, Uchiha Itachi will be your squad captain, and you will be the captain of one of his three squads."
"I… I'm a squad captain?" Haryu couldn't believe it, he was just a newcomer to the Anbu, and he was already leading a team?
"With your way of thinking and your maturity, you're very suitable to be a captain. Don't decline, you can't decline this appointment. Work hard for Konoha's stability!"
"Well, alright." Haryu couldn't really decline this appointment. But he was a little worried, after all, anyone who could enter the Anbu had at least some talent. Being led by a kid who had just joined, they might not be happy about it.
"Are you worried about your team? Don't worry, the Anbu is the most obedient department to orders from superiors. No one will look down on you because of your experience or age. Here, we speak with strength." Yamato seemed to see Haryu's concerns, so he took the initiative to comfort him.
"Hmm, I'll try." He was still a little hesitant, but Haryu decided to try first, if it didn't work out, he would apply to start as a junior member.
"Then, go submit the application for custom weapons, it should take a long time to make a weapon like yours, right? By the way, all material costs are paid by the Anbu." Yamato said, leaving Kakashi aside, and took Haryu out, Itachi naturally followed his captain.
"Yamato, you don't want to catch up with me?" Kakashi sat with his legs crossed, his arms spread out, leaning back on the sofa, smiling at Yamato, who was rushing to leave.
"Kakashi-senpai… not today, okay. Later… come and play often." Yamato immediately pushed open the door and escaped from the lounge.
"Goodbye, teacher." Haryu didn't have the same aversion to Kakashi, he looked at Yamato's back as he escaped, with a questioning look, he poked his head out of the door, politely saying goodbye to his teacher.
"Alright, be careful when you're on missions, those who don't cherish their comrades don't deserve to be ninjas." Kakashi's eyes suddenly turned cold, he stared intently at the fox mask. "Comrades are always more important than missions."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei. I'll remember that." Perhaps these were the most serious words Kakashi had ever said, and the most useful thing he had taught Haryu.
"Captain, goodbye." Itachi didn't take off his mask either, he said goodbye and left the lounge.
"Anbu, I miss it a little." Kakashi put his legs down, put his hands together, took out "Make Out Paradise", slowly stood up, and walked towards the outside of the base. "I hope he'll be okay."
…
"We're here. Submit your blueprint." Yamato was already leaning against the window where they made tools, waiting for Haryu and Itachi.
"Okay. I need to make two sleeve daggers, one for each hand." Haryu made his request to the person taking orders inside.
"What kind of materials do you need?"
"The blade needs chakra metal, the other rails and stuff just need to be like red copper or refined iron."
"Then, the total length isn't marked, how long is it?"
"The blade is thirty centimeters, the rail is fifteen centimeters." Haryu was very clear about these requirements. For some reason, these numerical information was etched in his brain, as soon as he thought about it, he could know the exact information. He could even report more precise data. For example, the blade thickness is 0.3 centimeters, the blade arc length is 17.5 centimeters, and so on.
"Alright. An instrument like this takes at least three days, a pair would take about a week. Please come and pick it up yourself when it's ready." The person taking orders filled information of the ninja tool and said. "What is your code name and identity?"
Tenryū, squad captain." Haryu almost blurted out his real name, if it weren't for the mask, he would have forgotten he was still in the Anbu.
"Okay, this will be recorded. Just state your codename when you come to pick it up."
"Okay, thank you." The tool he needed was being made, so there was no need to waste time in the Anbu. "Captain Yamato, when will I have a mission?"
"No rush, we'll talk about that when your tools are ready. You can go train freely now, of course, the Anbu's training space is open 24/7, you can go now. Come to the base's testing center tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, you need to meet your team. Be prepared."
"Is it a sparring match? Okay, I understand, Captain Yamato. I'll go train first. Goodbye." Understanding Yamato's intention, Haryu bowed slightly to Itachi and Yamato, then left first.
"This kid, he's sharp, and he plans his actions well. It's no wonder he can become a genius." Yamato quietly took off his mask, watching Haryu walk towards the learning space, and muttered to himself.
"Aren't geniuses born?" Itachi was a little concerned about that last statement, so he casually asked.
"Genius is not just about having talent, it also requires the effort to control that talent. The Fourth Hokage, Kakashi-senpai, you, and Haryu, you are all a combination of both."
"Is that so…"
In the learning space, Haryu looked at the rows of bookshelves, a little overwhelmed. This place could obviously fulfill his desire to study jutsu properly.
"Hmm. Well, what should I start with?" They say you can't chew more than you can bite off, Haryu naturally knew this, so he didn't start by diving into the scrolls and reading and learning one by one. There were so many jutsu, most of them were useless.
"Only what's right for you is useful. Then, I'll look for speed-enhancing jutsu." This time, Haryu didn't limit the enhancing attribute to wind, but expanded it to all attributes. After all, all these attributes had acceleration jutsu. Like Earth Release: Light-Heavy Rock, Lightning Release Body Protection, and so on.
"Acceleration, that's body enhancement, right? Found it." He truly wandered through the sea of books, following the rows of different labels, Haryu finally found the type of jutsu he needed. "These, the lowest is B-rank? Yeah, if you want body enhancement, it will inevitably put a burden on your body. Without B-rank chakra amount, it shouldn't be able to support it." Thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.
"Wind Release, there's very little. And there's no acceleration jutsu, could it be because the shape of the Wind attribute is too difficult to master?"
"Lightning Release, it seems to cause a lot of damage to the body, and Konoha doesn't have a place where there's lightning and thunder that can be used for long-term practice."
"Water Release, the area of application is too small, it's not practical for daily use."
"Earth Release, forget it, it's weird to use."
While flipping through the books and muttering to himself, Haryu slowly eliminated four chakra attributes, and the only one left was Fire Release.
"Fire Release: Blazing Foot? This should work. Shin-Mō-In-Gai!" Looking at the analysis, Haryu stood up, ready to try this jutsu immediately.
"Fire Release: Blazing Foot!" Success. Small flames ignited on the soles of his feet in one go.
"Hmm? Why is this flame so small? Oh, this is actually an A-rank jutsu." Haryu missed the A-rank label at the top of the jutsu. With his current chakra amount, he naturally couldn't fully use this jutsu.
