As Ning Feng's words fell, the leading ANBU ninja froze for a moment, frowned, and said with confusion:
"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
"Come on, let's go find Kakashi first!"
Before the ANBU ninja could take another step, the ANBU Commander-in-Chief, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had been seated behind the desk, suddenly spoke in a sharp voice:
"Wait."
The ANBU ninja paused, about to ask something, but Sarutobi Shinnosuke waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
With no choice, the ANBU ninja withdrew.
In an instant, only Ning Feng and Sarutobi Shinnosuke remained in the office.
What Ning Feng had just said might have sounded obscure to others, but Sarutobi Shinnosuke clearly understood the implication—
Ning Feng was not Namikaze Minato's man.
He was not one of Minato's pawns planted inside ANBU.
Previously, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had worried that Minato's people entering ANBU would threaten his position, which was why his attitude had been so cold.
What he hadn't expected was that a five-year-old child could see through the open and covert struggle between the Sarutobi clan and Minato at a glance.
Someone with such insight was already rare—let alone someone this young.
"You're Uchiha Peak, right?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled faintly. "I didn't expect you to be this clever."
As he spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it to Ning Feng.
"I almost forgot—every new ANBU member receives benefits and subsidies."
"This is your joining bonus. Welcome to ANBU."
"From now on, you'll carry out missions together with your brother. It's safer that way. Your captain will be Kakashi—he'll help you grow a lot."
By now, Sarutobi Shinnosuke wore a gentle, amiable smile, completely different from his earlier icy demeanor.
"Alright," Ning Feng replied.
He accepted the scroll and turned to leave.
He knew perfectly well that Sarutobi Shinnosuke was trying to recruit him, but the stakes weren't high enough yet for Shinnosuke to go all in.
At the very least, Ning Feng had now successfully made an impression.
Under the guidance of the leading ANBU ninja, Ning Feng soon arrived at Kakashi's side.
It was worth noting that, apart from the ANBU Commander-in-Chief, no one knew the true identities of ANBU members.
So when Ning Feng, wearing an ANBU mask, stood before Kakashi, neither Kakashi nor Uchiha Itachi realized that this masked ANBU ninja was actually Uchiha Peak.
Through the ANBU ninja, Ning Feng also learned that ANBU currently had only seventy-plus official members.
These seventy-plus were divided into teams of four, with each captain overseeing four squads—a total of seventeen members.
Even Danzo's Root organization was merely a branch of ANBU.
On the surface, Root answered to the Hokage, but in reality, it belonged solely to Danzo.
Although these seventy-plus people nominally obeyed the Hokage, internal power struggles were fierce—
Some were controlled by the Yamanaka clan, others by the Akimichi clan, and so on.
The Hokage himself truly controlled fewer than a dozen people.
This was also why, when political purges occurred in Konoha, the number of ninja genuinely protecting the Hokage was often shockingly small.
By the time of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, the enormous machine known as Konoha had already begun to run inefficiently—its vital systems firmly gripped by high-ranking elites feeding off its power.
After a brief check-in with Kakashi, he immediately assigned the team an S-rank mission.
And that mission involved a newly emerging organization—
The Akatsuki.
Rumor had it that Akatsuki's leader had personally killed Hanzo of the Salamander, the so-called "Demigod" of Amegakure.
Their mission objective was to infiltrate the Hidden Rain Village and gather as much intelligence as possible.
When Ning Feng heard the word infiltration, he was genuinely shocked.
As expected of ANBU—straight into covert operations.
Back in the original Naruto story, Kakashi had once attempted to infiltrate Amegakure. Ning Feng never expected that the moment he joined ANBU, he'd be doing the same.
More importantly, as he officially entered ANBU, the system rewarded him with a large amount of experience.
His level jumped to Level 21.
Since the infiltration mission would begin the following day, Ning Feng left ANBU after the briefing and returned to Konoha.
Compared to his previous login, Konoha was now even more bustling.
After encountering the giant mountain cats, countless players had finally realized the immense value of the Naruto game world and were now training with unprecedented intensity.
Ignoring the envious gazes cast his way, Ning Feng took advantage of the short walk near the Hokage's residence to slowly open the scroll Sarutobi Shinnosuke had given him.
The moment he did, he froze—his eyes widening in shock.
Because what Sarutobi Shinnosuke had given him was not a ninjutsu scroll at all, but a—
Blood Contract.
By signing this blood contract, one could summon summoning beasts.
The stronger one's chakra, the more terrifying the summoned beast would be.
And most importantly—
This was a Sarutobi clan blood contract.
The creatures summoned were of the Enma-type, the monkey summons.
The Sarutobi clan had maintained a deep bond with Enma and related summons for generations.
Simply signing this contract would allow one to summon powerful beasts to fight alongside them.
Of course, summoning beasts didn't rely solely on contracts—using the Sharingan to forcibly control them was also possible.
At this moment, Ning Feng was severely lacking a proper summoning beast.
The Sarutobi clan's summons were an excellent choice.
[Blood Contract] (Sarutobi Clan):
After signing this scroll, you may summon powerful summoning beasts to assist in battle.
The stronger your chakra, the stronger the summoned beast.
Without hesitation, Ning Feng clicked Use on the Blood Contract.
In an instant, a massive contract scroll materialized before him and slowly unfurled.
At the very end of the contract, several names were already written—
Sarutobi Sasuke.
Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Clearly, Sarutobi Sasuke and Sarutobi Hiruzen themselves had also signed this Blood Contract.
