Standing in front of Shikamaru were two new, white faces: a cat and a monkey.
Of course, the animal faces wereonly masks, and from the neck down the two Anbu were completely human. Theywore jet black uniforms that clung to their skin, as well as the recently redesignedflak jackets of Konoha.
The old flak jackets used to have pockets on both sidesof the chest for shinobi to keep scrolls or ninja tools, but the new design haddone away with those and kept itself relatively simple. It was a side-effect ofthe peaceful era that had come into being after the end of the war.
