Konoha Steady King

Chapter 28 A fire in the dark night

The next day, Namikaze Minato was summoned to the staff headquarters to accept a new mission.

Different from the way regular teams receive tasks, some special teams need to go to a higher-level staff department to receive tasks. These tasks are often not recorded in the books and can be called confidential tasks.Namikaze Minato's team is a star team. The missions they perform are highly dangerous, but the mortality rate is very low, which has a lot to do with their own strength.

Since the beginning of the reform of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, family ninjas have become the main body of high-risk mission execution. According to Hayama's summary, there are two reasons.

The first is that the number of civilian ninjas has dropped sharply due to years of war.Five or six years have passed since the start of World War II. The civilian ninjas who were unlucky and lacked strength have long been exhausted, and those who can survive are the elites.The extremely cruel death rate caused civilian families in the village to no longer choose to send their children to ninja schools and began to look for other options.Because the ninja school was completely turned into a cannon fodder processing factory during the war. It only taught simple three-body surgery and distributed forehead protectors, sending batches of cannon fodder to the battlefield.If things go on like this, no matter how loud the slogans of the Will of Fire are, they will not be able to recruit many civilian ninjas.As a result, the proportion of civilian ninjas in the Konoha Ninja Army dropped significantly, and they gradually lost the atmosphere they had at the beginning of the war.It has to be said that as the war has progressed so far, the ruling group headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen has achieved all its goals in launching the war.The Senju clan has retired, and the Uchiha clan is still fighting Kirigakure on the border; they are extremely harmonious internally, fighting wherever they ask; civilian ninjas have suffered heavy casualties in the war, and they will no longer shout for fair treatment all day long.All the conflicts before the war were silenced by the enemy's weapons, killing three birds with one stone. There are not many such good things in the world.

The second is because Sarutobi Hiruzen's reforms forced all major families to participate in the war with all their strength.The first Hokage's governing style was inclusive of all rivers, because he had transcended the category of ninjas and was the only man called the god of ninjas for thousands of years (Six Paths is a sage).Strong strength brings an extremely broad mind. All things in the village are discussed and handled together, and there is no dictatorship.The second-generation Hokage's governing style is institutionalized and rigorous.No matter what the purpose, the Ninja Village group was truly developed in the hands of Senju Tobirama. The series of systems he founded turned the loose family-owned Konoha Village into a war machine, exerting a powerful It was during this period that the ninjas truly began to abandon their traditional family concepts and began to adopt national concepts.When the Third Hokage arrived, they who grew up in the greenhouse lost the vision and strategy of their ancestors and became different.On the one hand, they chanted the slogan of the Will of Fire, and on the other hand, they suppressed various ninja clans, turning the democratic village into a monologue, making everyone miserable.They even issued a policy that strictly ordered each ninja clan to allocate manpower to the war in proportion to the rule of high-pressure.

All in all, life is not easy for everyone, but when I think of the Thousand Hands clan who have just retired, I can only hold my nose and admit it.

The chief of staff of the Kingdom of Wind is a ninja from the Nara clan. He has a very flexible mind and has always been Hatake Sakumo's military leader.Seeing Minato Namikaze and others walking in, he glanced at Hayama a few more times and then talked about the mission.

"According to reliable information, there is a Sunagakure drug storage point in Akihabara. Your mission is to destroy it."

Hayama, who was originally a little curious about the content of the Star Team's mission, suddenly lost interest when he heard this.This kind of mission is not very dangerous. Unless you are unlucky and encounter a master, with the strength of the Minato team's ninjas, there is no problem in returning intact.

After receiving the task, several people did not leave immediately. Instead, they came to a remote corner and held a small meeting.

The four of them formed a circle, squatting and looking at the map on the ground. After everyone knew the mission location, Namikaze Minato put away the map and said with a smile: "Hayama, please briefly introduce yourself."

Yeshan stood up, looked around, and said softly: "Baiyun Yeshan, 17 years old, good at earth escape, fire escape, and thunder escape."

After saying that, Ye Shan continued to squat down, waiting for the next person to introduce himself.

"Qiu Daotang, a jounin, good at family secrets."

"Inuzuka E, jounin, good at family secret arts."

Good guy, why are you two talking about cross talk?Ye Shan was slightly unhappy, but did not show it.It is an old tradition for family ninjas to look down on civilian ninjas.In the ninja world, strength is valued. When the time comes, using strength to slap someone in the face is the most comfortable way, which is much more satisfying than talking.

It's not that Ye Shan is unsteady or that he's drifting, it's just that the limitations of these two families are too great.Although they are outstanding in some aspects, such as tracking and close combat, they are difficult to achieve in other aspects.There is always only one criterion for measuring the strength of a ninja, and that is comprehensive strength.It's not impossible to specialize in one area, but it's difficult to become a top expert. As far as Hayama knows, there is currently no one.

Namikaze Minato narrowed his eyes and lost the smile on his face, but with his gentle personality, he was never a strong person. He smiled apologetically at Hayama and introduced himself.

"Minato Namikaze, 15 years old, is a jounin. He is good at wind escape and space ninjutsu. His favorite person is Uzumaki Kushina. His dream is to become Hokage and end the chaotic ninja world."

Hayama's eyes narrowed slightly, he was a direct descendant, his dream was to become Hokage, he was worthy of Lord Jiraiya's fancy.

However, it is not that difficult for a civilian ninja to become Hokage. From the current point of view, it is not Namikaze Minato's turn.Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Hatake Sakumo in front are waiting in line to take over. Even if they can become Hokage, they will probably be the Sixth Hokage.

After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, he said to Hayama in a warm voice: "Hayama, we will be very good partners. Please give me your advice in the future."

"No problem, Captain Minato." Hayama readily agreed.

"Then gentlemen, let's go!"

.............

Akihabara is a rare plain in the Land of Wind, with flat terrain and pleasant climate. It has always been the main producing area of ​​Sunagakure grain.The westernmost part of Akihabara is bordered by the endless desert. In order to prevent soil desertification, Sunagakure Village has built several dirt hills here. The dirt hills are covered with trees to isolate the dry desert air and prevent soil erosion.

Hayama has been here several times, and every time he marvels at the wonder of chakra.It is no exaggeration to say that chakra is the most productive force in the ninja world. If all of it is used to develop agriculture, it can feed an unlimited number of people.It's a pity that wherever there are people, there are disputes. Since its birth, chakra has been used to effectively eliminate the population, which can be regarded as indirectly alleviating the population pressure and food crisis in the ninja world.

According to the intelligence from the General Staff, the drug storage point in Sunagakure Village is somewhere in these mountains. The specific location still needs to be found by the Minato team themselves.

But this is not a problem for the Minato team, or it is a problem for the Inuzuka clan.Since it is a medicine storage point, medicines must come in and out every day. You only need to follow the smell of the medicines to easily know the specific location.

That night, Hayama and others quietly sneaked into a cave, which was the medicine storage point of Sunagakure Village.

Hayama looked at the huge dark cave entrance. Outside the cave entrance, two heavily armed Suna ninjas were patrolling the surroundings vigilantly. Hayama, who was not sure whether there was a secret whistle, looked at Inuzuka's dog.This is not an ordinary dog, but a ninja dog that has been trained by the Inuzuka clan's secret techniques since childhood. Not only does its nose have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, but it can also cooperate with its owner to perform the family's secret techniques, making it a dog-like fighter.

The ninja dog with the eyepatch was huge, as big as a calf. His nose twitched a few times and he whined a few times. Inuzuka E immediately made gestures to translate.

'Four enemies, two at the entrance of the cave, one on the left and one on the right'

Minato nodded, murderous intent flashed across his usually smiling face, he hesitated and made a gesture.

Hayama squinted his eyes, and after seeing Minato's gesture, his whole aura became vague, and then he gradually sank into the ground, feeling towards the entrance of the cave.Minato, on the other hand, suddenly disappeared from the spot without a trace.

After just a few breaths, Minato and the other four stood outside the cave entrance without being discovered.Hayama made a few gestures to signal the others to step back. The majestic chakra in his body boiled and he slowly formed a seal.

"Fire Escape Fire Dragon Fire Bomb!"

With Ye Shan's full exertion, the flames roared into the cave like a dragon, destroying everything they encountered, and soon several screams came out.

Ye Shan, who guessed that the fire was about the same, stopped the delivery of chakra, and then several people turned around and ran away.

Nonsense, why don't you run away after setting the fire and stay here waiting for Suna Ninja to treat you to some dumplings?

Before Hayama and others could run far away, a shrill warning sound came from the mountain. The Sunagakure squadron stationed in the mountain woke up from their sleep, picked up their weapons one after another, and under the leadership of the captain, tried to block the exit as soon as possible. The arsonist was found and cut into pieces.

Different from the rich Fire Country, the Wind Country is not only short of food, but medicinal herbs are as precious as gold.Every herb was hard-won, and it was a precious treasure in the heart of Sunagakure. The senior management of Sunagakure even issued an order that those who lost the medicine would be punished severely. How could they not make the guarding Sand ninjas anxious.

The experienced sand ninjas quickly locked onto the arsonists. Before they could form an encirclement, the arsonists suddenly disappeared...

Hayama set a fire in the darkness, which burned many Suna ninjas to the point of rage, but he left without hesitation under their noses. One of the angry Suna ninjas suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fainted on the spot...

Sure enough, space ninjutsu is the necessary ninjutsu for killing people and setting fire. Compared with it, fire escape and thunder escape are just clouds, and they can't keep up with the hot ones even if they follow behind and eat ashes.

This wave of sour home thefts, Ye Shan secretly named in his heart: Invisible disguise, the most deadly!
