Anbu Base

They took 2 days to arrive in Konoha, just in time for the new Hokage ceremony. Sora didn't want to rush the conflicted Anbus back into their home. Once they arrived, they attended the ceremony. And they all stayed together in the Anbu dormitories, not wanting to face the outside world just yet.

One week later, Minato and Hiruzen called every Anbu back in the base

One week later, Minato and Hiruzen called every Anbu back in the base. All of them stood in front of the Hokages, and there were only about 60 Anbu present. If you looked closely, you would notice that they stood in such a way so as to seperate them. On the left side was Sora with the 8 anbus from the war and some old Anbus who were friends with them but not dispatched and on the right side was the new ones who were promoted during the war and those who didn't know Sora and the others. Sora stood in front of the left side since he was still there captain until further notice and before the right side stood an Anbu with a Tortoise mask who he recognized as a new recruit added before he was sent on the battlefield.

Some moment later, Hiruzen did some kind of ceremony and their Anbu tattoo burned signaling the transfer of power to Minato. This was the last part for Minato to become a complete Hokage. Hiruzen did some kind of speech which Sora completely zoned out of and disappeared to enjoy his retirement.

Afterwards, they all looked at Minato who was nervous. He did a small speech and ordered each of them to report what had happened since the war. Hiruzen had only told him the important points and left out the small details so he decided to learn about them now. He also noticed the separation between the 2 groups and thought it would be a good to improve their trust and all information.

"Before reporting, you should first come forward, remove your mask, state your name, code name, age, rank in the Anbu and outside, duration in Anbu, strongest forte and then report.", explained Minato.

The right group started first. There were 10 new promoted squad leader. They were mostly sent on missions to destroy enemy camps, reinforcements and assassinations. They were all Jonin in ranks and were in their late teens and early 20s. Tortoise as Sora thought was indeed promoted to captain, while Taichou and Sora's group were dispatched.

Finally, it was Sora group's turn, Pig went first. Minato was more used to them as they did fight along side each other though they never interact with each other. He wondered why they never did talk back on the battlefield and he also noticed how they were all still on high alert compared to the other group and some still had injuries heavily bandaged here and there.

Whenever each of them reported and mentioned an Anbu member who had died, Sora came forward and removed the latter's dead body. He had Tai and Yuki arrange all the dead bodies he collected in such a way that it was easier to find and remove a specific person.

He first did that when Owl reported he was originally in Hebi's group.  "What do you think you're doing Ōkami!", said Minato. He didn't want to sound harsh but since it was the first time he met each of them, he had to be firm so they all knew to obey/respect him. Sora didn't answer nor glance at him, he only took out Hebi's body and slowly laid her on the ground before going back in line. Owl and everybody was shocked to see the dead body; some were surprised since they knew it was Hebi and others because it was an intact dead body. You could see the astonishment on Owl's face seeing her; "That's... Hebi!!"
