NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: 7
Hearing this voice, the two Anbu trembled all over and turned their heads shakily.
"Na-Naruto!?"
"How could it be you!?"
The corner of Naruto's mouth curled up in a sly arc, and there was a glint in his eyes.
"Why can't it be me?"
"By the way, you two, why are you spying on me? Did Grandpa Hokage send you here?" Naruto asked, already knowing the answer.
"Um...it is indeed Lord Third Hokage, but don't get us wrong, Lord Third just doesn't want suspicious people to hurt you. After all, you are the Nine Tails Jinchūriki, the most valuable asset of the village."
Both Anbu had clearly done their homework.
They were trying to paint a bad situation positively, while also praising the Third Hokage.
However, Naruto didn't pay attention to these.
Because there was only one thought in his mind at this time, and that was: how to get these two people together.
Touching his chin thoughtfully, Naruto squatted down after a few moments.
"Oh... I understand the reasoning, but isn't the surveillance technique of you two a bit too poor?"
"Because you two were discovered by me so easily?"
The two Anbu bowed their heads in shame.
They really didn't expect Naruto to confront them so directly.
"Hahahahaha, Naruto, it's actually not that serious," one Anbu laughed heartily. "Didn't you just say that we monitor you to prevent suspicious people from approaching you and hurting you? It's more like observation, so we don't pay much attention to it."
Seeing his companion looking for an excuse, the other Anbu also reacted immediately, touched the back of his head, and apologized:
"Oh, that's right, that's right, it's just secret observation, plus secret protection, it's not that strict at all..."
However.
The two Anbu hadn't finished speaking yet when Naruto immediately pulled down his smiling face.
Then, he directly refuted!
"Observe me, protect me?"
"Stop joking, that's just your excuse!"
"It's because you're not good at techniques that I discovered you!"
Seeing Naruto's angry appearance, the two Anbu were slightly stunned.
What's happening here?
What is he angry about?!
What the heck!
Obviously, we were discovered by you, and you exposed our position. You should feel proud!
Why are you still angry?
Scanning the faces of the two, Naruto's face gradually became serious, his fists clenched tightly, and he looked like he was disappointed in them.
"Although it's just monitoring a child, I don't think Konoha's Anbu should be so casual!"
"Surveillance is a very important job, and any detail may lead to significant deviations."
"Even if the target is not in danger, you must not relax. You must concentrate and record all the details. This is the most basic way of surveillance!"
[Ding! Successful involution! You have obtained 100 involution points!]
[Ding! Successful involution! You have obtained 100 involution points!]
[Ding! Successful involution! You have obtained 100 involution points!]
...
Hearing Naruto speak.
Not only did the two Anbu's puzzled thoughts not resolve, but their doubts deepened!
What's going on?
They thought we didn't monitor well and even criticized us!?
"Then, what do you think should be done?" Anbu asked tremblingly.
Naruto looked serious and said sternly, "Of course, it must be done seriously!"
"If it were me, first of all, we wouldn't be in a team of two."
"Because as long as there are many people together, you might start chatting and get distracted, missing important information!"
"The next step is to cover up your presence."
"You must not make your presence known, and you mustn't make any noise, not even a slight sound! So you must lie in place and hold on for several hours, even up to ten hours!"
"Also! All the details on and around the target must be recorded!"
"If conditions allow, you can use video cameras and cameras, but you must hide the shutter sound and recording sound. If not, use handwritten notes! Record the situation in writing!"
...
After listening to Naruto.
The two Anbu looked dazed and completely confused on the rooftop!
What's happening!
Teaching?
This Naruto guy is actually teaching them how to conduct surveillance?
And it's too harsh!
The specifications he mentioned are the behavior of Jōnin in the village, going outside to monitor an important target!
Lying down for hours without moving, recording all the details...
Those are specifications only for elite ninja missions involving high-profile targets!
You are safe and sound at home, and you are still a harmless child, yet you expect this kind of specification!?
"Hey, Naruto, is this..." Anbu wanted to refute but failed.
Naruto immediately countered.
"It's not an exaggeration at all! This is my understanding of surveillance capabilities!"
"Don't relax your standards just because the target is just a child."
"Only by doing well in every detail can we achieve great things in the end!"
"Konoha's Anbu should have such strength!"
"I think Konoha's Anbu ninja must have an attitude of excellence, meticulousness, and prudence, rather than just going through the motions!"
A word.
Like a resounding gong, it exploded in their ears.
The lingering sound reverberated for days!
The two Anbu felt as if their heads were hit with a hammer!
Buzzing!
Shock!
They were shocked from the bottom of their hearts!
But at the same time, they felt ashamed!
Naruto, as the one being watched and a child, has such high standards, but what about them!
Relaxed and slack, they took every opportunity to cut corners...
What a failure!
Seeing the expressions of the two shocked into silence, Naruto let out a breath silently: "If there's no problem, let me carry out the surveillance work with you tonight."
"?????????"
"Even as the one being watched, I feel that only from the perspective of a watcher can I better find the technique and discover those blind spots that I usually can't see."
"Thinking from another's perspective, focusing on details, and concentrating on the task... These are the qualities a watcher should have."
"Let's work hard towards becoming qualified Anbu surveillance ninjas!"
