Joining Anbu

The Next Morning,

Both Ryuu and Kakashi woke up and prepared themselves and got out of their rooms.

"Are you guys ready? Come I have prepared some breakfast." Sakumo said greeting the boys with a smile.

"Ok dad." Kakashi said and went towards the Japanese style dining table which are arrange with glistening foods. Ryuu followed him with a drooling face.

Both of them attacked the food and stuffed themselves. Sakumo had a satisfied smile on his face.

Soon both of them left for Hokage Office. When they reached they were told to wait for a few minutes outside by the secretary, after some time a group of chunin followed by a Jounin came out of Hokage office.

Secratary:"You can go in now."

The boys nodded and went inside the office.

"Kakashi & Ryuu you are here. So, here is what i have planned for you. You both will be joining the secret Anbu academy, which was established to create elite Anbu. You will be studying there for some time and once your teacher feels that you are ready, you're thenn assigned to a 5 men Anbu Team for missions to gain experience. Once i determine that you are strong enough to handle yourselves, you will then be assigned to individual missions which are more important and critical. Do you have something you want to say in that?" Hokage said in a monotone.

Kakashi and Ryuu looked at each other and nodded.

"No, Hokage-sama. We shall follow your arrangements." Ryuu answered and Hokage nodded.

"Rabbit"

Anbu with a rabbit mask suddenly appeared.

"Take these two kids to the Anbu academy and proceed with the arrangements." Hokage ordered.

"Yes Hokage-sama" Rabbit replied and looked towards Kakashi & Ryuu and said,"Follow me."

Ryuu and Kakashi both followed rabbit and left the office. They soon entered the building next to Hokage's and started going downwards. Soon they reached a clearance and Rabbit went towards the counter and said, "Two young recruits joining on Hokage's command."

The man behind the counter is an old man, he doesn't look like a simple one either. He simply nodded and handed over the standard supplies for Anbu-recruit- a blank mask, a sword and a badge.

Ryuu and kakashi took the items and equipped them.

Soon the old man said, "Follow me to the room next door, you will get measurements for your armour."

The old man went inside the room followed by Rabbit and the boys. Once the measurements are taken, the old man asked them to come back in 3 days to collect their armor. They soon went towards the room which seems like a classroom.

"This is your classroom. You will have your theoretical classes here and the training ground is just below the floor. Your teacher will take you there. Any doubts?" Rabbit asked.

"when have the classes begun? Aren't they ahead of us?" Ryuu asked.

"Classes begun before 2 months, but you don't have to worry. The classes will be proceeded at ann individual pace. That means, if you are able to complete the 3 months class in 1 month, you can proceed to the next level. I am sure you can catch up." Rabbit answered.

"Thank you Rabbit-san." Ryuu thanked her.

"Since you don't have any other questions, i will be leaving. Good luck!" Rabbit said and disappeared.

"Lets go in." Kakashi said as he slides the door.

Inside there were 17 recruits with the similar mask and standard anbu armor. They were sitting at different places. The classroom was large and there were many seats available. Ryuu and kakashi quickly found themselves a seat and settled.

Soon a jounin with a bear mask with 3 red spiral mark joined the class and started speaking.

"Today we have two more recruits joining, who are much younger than you. Lets welcome them. Henceforth you two will be called A18 and A19 until you graduate." The jounin teacher said as he pointed to Kakashi & Ryuu respectively.

'There is no point in hiding our identities. the spiky white hair and our age is a dead give away.' Ryuu sneered inwardly.

"There are 3 levels in the Anbu-recruit training.The level 1 will have tactics, gathering information, formations and increasing your knowledge on survival in various regions and scenarios. Level-2 includes applying your knowledge that you have gained in Level-1 along with taijutsu and ninjutsu training. In this level you can opt to choose one or more specializations it can be either medical jutsu, sealing jutsu, sensory etc.,. In level 3 you will be assigned missions much difficult than you wil face in level-2 and this will be a 5-man team. Any doubts?"

Nobody raised their hands as everybody know this, only Ryuu and kakashi were new to this.

"I do." Ryuu raised his hand.

"Go on." the teacher nodded.

"Can we choose our specialization from level-1?" Ryuu asked.

"As long as you prove that you can handle rest of the curriculum without problems, you will be allowed to choose your speciality. I will personally send a request to Hokage-sama if I feel that you are upp to the mark."the bear answered.

"How can I prove myself?" Ryuu questioned.

"There will be an assessment every week, on the level-1 subjects as long as you can get satisfactory results I will pass you." The bear said.

"If you have no further questions, under your desk you will find scrolls and books of level-1 you are to learn them and memorize them. There are 3 months worth of syllabus in them. You can ask me any doubts when reading them. the classes will be from everyday 10 AM to 3 PM and the classes it will only be practical and a sessions to clear your doubts."

"Today we will be practicing formation-33 it will help us to engage with an enemy who is higher ground than you. It is not a combat formation but a formation used to create a distraction and escape. I am giving you half an hour to read through the info on the formatioon-33, once you are done we will be going to a training ground for a demo and practical." The teacher concluded.

Ryuu and others quickly opened up the scroll of formations and began reading the content.

'It is pretty well made and easy to understand.' Ryuu commented.

Soon half-hour passed.

"Lets go to the training grounds. Follow me." the bear said as he left the classroom.
