Early in the morning, Sato's backyard.

After getting up in the morning, after a simple washing, the mourning assistant changed into a new kimono that he had tailored a few days ago, sat cross-legged in the corridor of the backyard, closing his eyes to rest.

During the period when he closed his eyes and rested, several figures appeared in the backyard of Sato's family. After they appeared, they all knelt half in front of the helpless, lowered their heads, looking respectful.

About half an hour later, the mourning assistant opened his eyes, glanced at the people half kneeling in the backyard, and counted silently in his heart.

There are no more or less, exactly seven people.

"It's worthy of being the elite ninjas who retreated from the Anbu." The mourning aid glanced at the people present, his tone was a little cold, "It's very good, very punctual. The time I agreed with you was 7:30, and you all came before 7:15. Very good, I'm very satisfied."

The seven people who were half-kneeling in front of the mourning aid were the ninjas who had previously promised him, who had retreated from the "Nei" group. Originally, Danzo promised only three people who had retreated from the "Nei" group. For some reason, Sarutobi Hinashen finally selected four ninjas from the Anbe and asked them to join the Sato family.

Therefore, the report from Sato's house finally changed from three to seven.

"You seven, from left to right, introduce yourself to me and let me know you." After thinking for a while, the mourning assistant still felt that he had to start by introducing himself to understand these seven new subordinates.

"Ambe codenamed "Shang", the former Ambe barrier ninja, is good at sealing techniques and barrier techniques." The first person on the left introduced himself was the female ninja "Shang", who had visited Ambe with Morika, who had taken off her mask and smiled at Morika.

"Ambe code-named "Dream", the former Ambe investigation team ninja, is good at hiding and infiltrating." The second person who introduced himself was a teenager who had dealt with a mourning assistant earlier and was about the same age as a mourning assistant.

"Anbu codename 'Yan'..."

Immediately afterwards, the ninjas of the Arhara Anbe introduced their original names and the ninjutsu they were good at. After listening to their self-introduction, the Sangsu also had a preliminary understanding of these seven people.

"Although you all know, I still want to introduce myself to you." The monk stood up and straightened his back. His face, which was still tender, also brought a sense of majesty to the superior.

"I am the contemporary head of the Sato family. Sato Shizuo is good at forging. Although he is not a ninja yet, he can also have some medical methods." Shizuo looked at the seven people in front of him with his hands behind his back. His face, which had been stern, finally showed a faint smile, "Welcome to the Sato family."

"From today on, you seven are members of the Sato family." Sansuke said happily: "I know you will definitely be a little dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the distribution of Lord Naruto and Lord Danzo to you, but I believe that you will change slowly and finally integrate into the Sato family."

"You should all know what the Sato family once had in Konoha and even the Fire Country."

"But no matter how brilliant the Sato family was or how prominent the reputation was, it was just the past." Sanshang turned his head and looked at the long-desolution meeting room of the Sato family, and said calmly: "The current Sato family is just a small family with only the title of a large clan but not the strength of a large clan."

"We are the new generation of Sato family."

"Our goal is not to regain the glory of the Sato family, but to surpass it."

"Beyond the Sato family in the past, the Sato family's pace is not limited to Konoha or even the Fire Kingdom. The Sato family's goal is to become famous throughout the ninja world."

The mourning assistant looked at his subordinates with different expressions and smiled, "Maybe you will think that I am just shouting slogans in vain and drawing cakes for you to fill your hunger, but time will tell you the answer."

"So, let's introduce myself again next." Sanzuru looked at his subordinates with a smile, "Tell me about my real name, hobbies, and dreams."

"Sir Sato, we have no names." A young man raised his hand and said calmly.

"No name?" Sanzhuo was a little surprised.

"The three of them are different from the four of us." Shang explained: "The three of them are ninjas affiliated with the 'root'. Most of them are orphans raised by Anbu, so they do not have their own names, only the 'code name' of Anbu."

"Is this the so-called 'root' person? No name, no emotion, no past... and no future."

The mourning assistant was shocked when he learned this, but the four people who had retired from the "root" in front of him looked calm and did not seem to think there was anything wrong with this.

"Since you have joined the Sato family, then all the four of you will be surnamed Sato." Sansuke sighed, "What is the specific name you want, you four will consider it yourself, and just tell me after you think it through."

"No need to think about it, the name is just a code name." The young man led by the four said, "From today, my name is Sato Ichi."

"Satoji."

"Sato San."

"Sato Shi."

Sato's help:...

***************************************************

He talked with the seven new subordinates who joined the Sato family one by one. After assigning tasks to several of them, the mourning assistant brought the young woman named "Shang" who was formerly named Li to the alchemy workshop.

"You can take this book and read it." The mourner walked to the bookcase, took a book called "Introduction to Alchemy" and handed it to Li.

After taking "Introduction to Alchemy", I glanced a little and my face became a little ugly, "My Lord, what I said in this book is so difficult to understand."

The mourning master smiled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, just overcome this hurdle."

"Can't you teach me step by step like an apprentice?" Li complained.

"no."

After hearing the sentence Li, the mourning assistant refused without thinking. While refusing, he pointed in the air with his hands and said, "If you encounter problems in the process of learning alchemy, you can come and ask me, and I will give you an answer, but the relationship between you and me is not a master-apprentice relationship."

"Oh." Li looked a little disappointed, but Lian Jiao ignored Li's disappointment. At this time, his attention was on the system prompt box.

[There are currently two alchemy apprentices: Keita and Kengo Taniguchi.]

Seeing that there was no name on the alchemy apprenticeship list, I felt a little relieved.

"It seems that as long as you don't teach alchemy directly, there will be no names on the apprenticeship list."

"Next, it's time to consider a new apprentice." Thinking of this, several candidates soon appeared in the mind of the mourning helper.

The most preferred candidates are naturally Hoko and Kushina who have been with you.

There should be no problem with Hoko, after all, Sasaki Genichi's legs are treated with alchemy.

Just Kushina...

Looking back on that night, Kushina was running away cryingly, for some reason, Sansuke felt his heart ached.

"Are I...I'm sick?"
