"Tatsuma, I see that you are not particularly busy here."
In any project, the most annoying thing is the leader's inspection, especially after the leader visits your work and says that your workload is not saturated. Now Tatsuma's face is also a little speechless, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who came to inspect .
If he hadn't been concerned about face, he would have wanted to ask directly, "Do you understand? Lao Den." There were four internal organ "skeletons" under construction in the laboratory, as well as cells with added materials placed aside. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't see anything strange.
But as a person in the promotion review period, Tatsuma could only say: "It's really busy here. Do you have any other arrangements, Hokage-sama?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said: "The Anbu will recruit a group of new people recently, and each team leader is busy running for minister, so I have delegated the authority to recruit new people to one level.
Of course, not every team leader has the authority to recruit new people. Only one team leader in each team has this authority. "
Chenma understood as soon as he heard it. Three team captains were competing for the position of minister, and there were four squads in each team. The squad leader was also running for the position of squad leader. Of course, not all twelve squad leaders were eligible to run.
Obviously, Tatsuma is one of them, or in other words, among the four squad leaders of his unit, he is the only one qualified to be the leader. Now it is hinting at the decentralization of authority.
Recruiting new recruits sounded troublesome, but Tatsuma looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who looked like he was expecting to be questioned, and understood something, and asked: "Please, Hokage-sama, please go there in person. The quality of the new recruit candidates this time should be Pretty good, right?"
Anbu recruitment consists of two parts. One is the transportation of roots. Roots are cultivating new people every year. The best ones will become candidates for the official members of Anbu and roots.
The rest will be on the list to be activated, or become non-staff members. Although they will also accompany Anbu and Gen to perform tasks, they will not enjoy the same authority and treatment. To put it bluntly, FJ.
The second type of talent recruitment source is selected from various combat teams or functional teams and departments. That is to say, they follow the conventional ninja promotion route, but because of their outstanding performance, they are valued by the Anbu and are invited.
Tatsuma's team, including him as the squad leader, all came in through the second method, which is why Hatake Sakumo wanted to hand over the burden of ANBU's "confrontation" to Tatsuma.
The recruitment that Sarutobi Hiruzen talked about was obviously the second type. Seeing Tatsuma's question as expected, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Well, there are some good prospects.
Inuko and his two teammates all have the potential to become ANBU, so it is best for you to evaluate them. After all, other people would somewhat despise me and be too lenient on the dog.
I will also give you all the authority to assess them, and you will not interfere in the process. You only need to assess them fairly and impartially, without taking me into consideration. "
Drudgery! Sarutobi Hiruzen sounded nice, but if Tatsuma really eliminated them, Tatsuma didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen would have a good face.
Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen also said that he should not be lenient. In other words, Tatsuma must find the skills that allow those people to fully join the ANBU without giving anyone a chance to get a handle on them.
Tatsuma suppressed his smile slightly and said, "Hokage-sama, Shinnosuke must be only thirteen years old? Isn't it a little early to join ANBU now?"
"It's not too early. Although Inuko's talent is far less than that of you and Minato, this kid has his own ambitions. He has been preparing to enter the Anbu for a few years after graduation. If I hadn't been unable to make up my mind, maybe he could have entered earlier. "
The words that emphasized both humility and pride made the person who heard it, Tatsuma, narrow his eyes and echoed, "Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents. Hokage-sama, don't worry too much."
"You know me very well, I will leave this matter to you. I will ask Shikaku to send the information later, and then it will be completely up to you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. Although he didn't want to take it, Tatsuma also nodded. He still had to rely on the big tree, and there were many things that he didn't have to do if he didn't want to do them.
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to leave after finishing his business, Tatsuma raised his eyebrows and said, "Hokage-sama."
"Huh? Do you have any concerns?"
Stopping, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tatsuma in confusion. Tatsuma took a step forward, lowered his tone slightly and said: "Hokage-sama, there are some things that should not be said by a junior like me.
However, I would like to pay a visit to Lord Danzo. He is quite sad that you have never visited in person. You see, you happen to be here at the Wooden Lab, so why not take the time to visit Lord Danzo as well.
Although the friendship between you two is so deep that there will definitely not be any estrangement because of this trivial matter, but you and Danzo-sama should also be nostalgic for those years of carefree gatherings, so why not take this opportunity to reminisce about your former classmates? How about it, boy? "
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, nodded with a smile, and said, "You are interested, my child. I have been busy with official duties these years, and I have rarely had time to get to know my old friends. It is indeed time to go and see him." "
Tatsuma had an innocent smile on his face. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo were both causing trouble for him, so it was reasonable and reasonable for him to cause trouble for the two of them.
After waving goodbye, Sarutobi Hiruzen left, but he did not leave the Wooden Lab immediately. Instead, he stopped a confused Gen member and asked him to take him to visit Danzo.
As for whether Sarutobi Hiruzen could see through Danzo's deception later on, and whether the two would have a rift because of this, it was none of Tatsuma's business. He regained his happy mood and continued to complete his work.
After setting up the internal organ stent, the rest of the cultivation work only requires coming over occasionally to check on it, and nothing unexpected happens. Therefore, Chenma said that he was almost busy, so it was not flattering.
Later, Shikaku came to deliver the information, but his usually loveless face was now a little more angry. He asked with a gossipy face: "Did you offend the Sandaime today? When he goes back His face doesn’t look good.”
"No, I am one of the top ten model workers in Konoha. How could I possibly make the Sandaime angry?"
Tatsuma rolled his eyes, and the two of them secretly learned the two treasures of the Hyuga clan in just one breath.
Shikaku looked disbelieving and said: "There is no reason. Who else can make him angry and can only sulk?"
"do not forget"
As he said that, Tatsuma, who was sitting on the chair, pointed downwards. Shikaku looked at his movements and asked, "What are the hidden diseases of men in middle age?"
".I mean below, not the man's below, but the dark roots underground. Of course, your understanding is actually quite different."
Lu Jiu suddenly realized and said: "That is it? That is much easier to understand, but what did he do?"
"Mudun Laboratory restarted, for what purpose?"
"That old wound."
"It's not hurt."
"understood."
The advantage of chatting with smart people is that they don’t need to repeat too many words. As long as the key keywords are in place, they can figure out the truth, and the rest are just insignificant details.
However, when the topic was over, Shikaku had no intention of leaving. Instead, he found a chair and sat down, looking at the equipment in the laboratory. Tatsuma asked, "Aren't you going back?"
"It's rare to come out. I get off work in more than an hour. It's so troublesome to rush back."
Shikaku shook his head and looked at Tatsuma, who had actually stopped working and was in the same fishing state as him, and said, "You are not easy to fool on this mission."
"There's nothing I can do. How about I recommend Shinnosuke to be the Hokage's bodyguard?"
Tatsuma stretched, then picked up the information Shikaku brought and looked through it. Hearing this, Shikaku nodded and said, "That's a good idea. I just don't want to be a job anymore, so I'll take the opportunity to retire!"
"Don't even think about retiring in a short time, but I will soon have a position suitable for you."
"Not suitable."
Before he heard it, Shikaku refused directly. What good position could there be related to a model worker like Tatsuma? Didn't Haiyi, who was working in the analysis class, get pulled into being a model worker candidate by Chenma?
"Really, you will definitely join the staff team by then anyway. Why don't you come and work as my administrative assistant for a period of time? I will be the squad leader soon, and there is a lot of administrative work that needs to be handled."
Chenma continued to persuade, but Lu Jiu remained unmoved. He glanced at the culture cabin and said, "Four materials, four parameter settings, something is wrong with you, Chenma."
"You can understand?"
Raising his eyebrows, Tatsuma didn't feel much fear. Although Shikaku was much sharper than Sarutobi Hiruzen, the knowledge involved in cross-fields could not be ignored based on IQ alone.
"It's not like I can't even understand the numbers. Those two..." Lu Jiu pointed at them and said, "The parameters are the same as the project design you submitted. You are definitely doing something wrong with the other two."
"Shikaku, wait until the Sandaime accepts my letter of recommendation. You are so smart and eye-catching, I don't trust you to follow other people."
Tatsuma showed a nasty smile, and Shikaku said aggrievedly: "I didn't stop you from causing trouble. You're just a classmate, so there's no need to mess with me, right? You can mess with Haiyi more when you have time, he's used to it anyway, or Ding Zuo is also fine."
"As expected of the Pig, Deer and Die, they are as close as a family."
Tatsuma expressed high respect for the friendship between the three families. Shikaku looked at Tatsuma and was not sure whether he said he wanted to write a letter of recommendation to Sarutobi Hiruzen was true or not. He could only lament:
"I blame me for talking too much, but you have to understand me. You can't talk when you sleep for eight hours a day, and you can't talk when you work for more than ten hours. You have also been a Konoha guard, so you should understand me better."
"Orochimaru and Gen are working on a curse seal that will make people shut up. If you have nothing to do, go over and be the experimental subject."
Tatsuma rolled his eyes again, Shikaku narrowed his eyes and said, "Gen is still causing trouble, I thought it was the second time."
Shikaku finally remembered and shut up, but Tatsuma turned around and looked directly at him and asked, "Do you want to pick your teeth?"
"Um."
