Konoha's Ninja Successor

Country of Fire, Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Kakashi Hatake, Itachi Uchiha and Teru Shimura in ANBU costumes have all arrived at the Hokage's desk.

Hatake Sakumo looked at the document in his hand and frowned slightly. Shimura Teru guessed that this mission should be an extremely difficult and dangerous S-level mission.Otherwise, I wouldn’t have specifically asked myself to come here.

Ninja tasks are divided into d, c, b, a, s from low to high.The tasks of ninjas range from the lowest of finding pets and picking up garbage to the highest of assassinating important figures and war tasks. Among them, S-level tasks are the highest in terms of difficulty and danger. Even among the five major ninja villages, there are many If any jonin cooperates, there may be casualties or even destruction.

Hatake Sakumo put down the document in his hand, looked at Shimura Teru, who arrived last, and said with a smile: "Teru, I asked you to come this time because I hope you can participate in this mission. Originally, Kakashi was asked to be the captain to lead Shisui. It was carried out with Itachi, but Shisui was on a garrison mission to defend the Cloud Ninja Village on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Yu. There is no way to come back for the time being. The other capable elite Jonin have missions, so I can only leave it to you. Here to help.”

Shimura Teru nodded to express his understanding. As the Hokage's assistant, he had the obligation to contribute and plan for the Hokage. Since there were not enough people, he could do it on his behalf.

"What kind of mission is it? A team of elite Jonin need to be dispatched to carry out it." Shimura Teru was very curious about what kind of mission it was, and actually asked the Godaime to come to him to carry it out. Moreover, he was not worried about it alone, and even arranged for Hatake Kakashi and himself to do it. His apprentice Uchiha Itachi cooperated together.

"There is a very difficult task at the moment." Hatake Sakumo pinched his eyebrows and said slightly tiredly: "A few days ago, the miko from the Kingdom of Oni sent a request to us in Konoha. It is said that the former miko Hidden dangers emerged after the seal failed. We hope that we will send the most elite team in the village to help them seal the ghost army that threatens the ninja world. According to the past historical data of the Ghost Country, these ghost armies have the power to destroy the ninja world. Although there are exaggerated Suspicion, but to be on the safe side, I still think it’s appropriate to have a ninja with absolute strength lead two elite jounin there.”

When Shimura Teru heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. Isn't this the monster sprite in the Naruto movie "The Death of Naruto"?

Judging from the time, shouldn't it be about eight years later?Because my intrusion timeline has changed?Shimura Teru thought to himself.

"You have gathered with the witches from the Kingdom of Ghosts. The witches who protect the Kingdom of Ghosts go to the sealed place to re-seal the monsters. Fai, as the leader of this operation team, this mission is a confidential one. Please abide by it. Ninja Code."

The three of them said in unison: "Yes! The Fifth Generation."

After a pause, Hatake Sakumo looked at Shimura Teru and others with a serious face and said: "There are too many unknowns in this mission, and we basically have no intelligence. If you feel that the current strength cannot continue, please immediately ask for help from the village. Hui, your Flying Thunder God Technique is most suitable for this kind of rescue work. Leave a mark in Konoha and tell me directly if you have anything to do. If it doesn't work, you can give up the mission."

Hatake Sakumo gave Shimura Teru a great deal of autonomy, and Shimura Teru can naturally feel this trust and concern.

Shimura Teru nodded, and then smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Godaime, I have carried out many S-level missions, and I have not failed yet. With the help of Kakashi and Itachi, this mission will be a success." It will be completed successfully.”

Shimura Teru really wasn't talking big words. After knowing that the content of the mission was about monsters and sprites, he was no longer worried.Although the sprite is very powerful, if you want to say that it is a threat to destroy the ninja world, the sprite is far from qualified.

Judging from the comprehensive judgment of the abilities and special characteristics of the sprites, they are at most similar to the tailed beasts, of course other tailed beasts except the eight-tailed and nine-tailed beasts. After all, the eight-tailed and nine-tailed beasts are indeed much stronger than other tailed beasts, especially the nine-tailed beasts.

After hearing Shimura Teru's assurance, Hatake Sakumo also smiled and narrowed his eyes, and then said to the three of them: "Be careful on the mission and come back safely."

"Yes! The Godaime."

After all, time was urgent. After accepting the task commission, the three of them left the Hokage's office directly. They each prepared for a night, and left the village early the next morning and rushed towards the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After leaving the village, Teru Shimura took the lead and led Kakashi and the two into the forest wilderness of the Land of Fire. Although there were no roads in this area, it was the fastest shortcut for ninjas.

After leaving the village, Kakashi asked Shimura Teru: "Master Teru, do you know about the monsters mentioned in the Kingdom of Demons? And how should we act in this mission?"

Hatake Kakashi is a person who is good at planning. Every time he goes on a mission, Kakashi likes to make various tactical preparations and emergency measures. This habit has also allowed Kakashi to survive countless critical moments and eventually became a ninja. The name of the world-famous Konoha Little White Fang.

"I don't know much about monsters, but since the Demon Country says that monsters have the power to destroy the ninja world, even if the perception is biased, the monsters will not be that weak. It is defined as being as dangerous as a tailed beast. It's relatively safe." Shimura Teru did not directly show that he knew the sprites very well, but passed the information to Kakashi and Itachi through semi-guessing.

"Tailed beast..." Kakashi frowned, and the expression on his face became much more solemn. After all, the tragedy of the Nine-Tails Rebellion eight years ago was still vivid in his mind.

Itachi also listened with his ears pricked up, paying attention to the information conveyed by Shimura Teru. He was taciturn and didn't say much.

"As for the method of action for the mission..." Shimura Teru glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who was at the end, and suddenly had the idea of ​​​​testing his apprentice in the school. Shimura Teru said to Itachi: "Itachi, tell me about yours. view!"

Kakashi naturally knew what Shimura Teru's apprentice was thinking. He didn't say much, but looked at Itachi, the youngest of the three, with a smile.Kakashi is very aware of Itachi's talents. Itachi, who is still underage, already has power that is not inferior to him.

"Me?" Itachi was also surprised, and then pointed at himself hesitantly.

It was only after Itachi saw Shimura Teru smiling and nodding that he responded: "Yes! Teacher."

Itachi Uchiha also sorted out his thoughts slightly nervously, and then said: "The Fifth Generation Mu said that the mission commission from the Kingdom of Demons mentioned that monsters have the power to destroy the ninja world. Since it is considered a threat by the Kingdom of Demons, this is There are huge hidden dangers, and you, the leaders of the Kingdom of Demons, will definitely be prepared. To face this kind of alien power, the power of Konoha alone is not enough, so the difficulty of my mission this time is not only the monsters, but also the forces of other ninja villages. Intervention is the hardest thing to deal with.”

After speaking, Itachi glanced at Shimura Teru tentatively, not sure whether what he said was right.After seeing Shimura Teru nodding with satisfaction, Itachi felt a little more confident in his heart.

Kakashi suddenly woke up when he heard this. He had not thought of this level just now. When Itachi said this, he suddenly understood.

Kakashi looked at Itachi with a bit more amazement. Although Kakashi would have thought of this without Itachi's reminder, it definitely took some time and thought.There is absolutely no way he can figure it out like Itachi did. Itachi's mature thinking really surprised Kakashi.

Shimura Teru looked at Itachi with a smile and continued to encourage: "Analyze thoroughly and continue to express your thoughts."
