Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

Konoha Anbu, the full name of which is the Assassination Tactics Special Forces, is directly under the Hokage's armed forces. It rarely recruits ninjas from ninja villages. Most of its members are elites who have been specially trained since childhood and are known for their cold-bloodedness and cruelty. In the era of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the ninja clan was constrained by its power, so the Root was set up to override the Anbu. The Root was responsible for handling tasks under the shadows, which directly led to the power of the Anbu dropping to the freezing point, especially after the death of Hatake Sakumo. After Yeshan came to power, he adhered to the concept of centralization and reorganized the Anbu and strengthened its special rights, which was in line with the proverb that a new emperor has new ministers.

The Anbu has seven squadrons, with a total of about 500 people, all of whom are Chunin or above, and are very strong on paper. The seventh squadron is called the Chasing Ninja Special Forces, and its members come from a variety of backgrounds. They are all ninjas who have committed heinous crimes but are very powerful, and are granted the privilege of redeeming their crimes.

On this day, in a small town tavern on the border between New Rain Country and Rain Country, it welcomed the busiest time of the day as usual. Many businessmen who traveled far and wide to make a profit came here to eat and rest, and they were all generous and would not compromise on their enjoyment.

Four good friends who didn't know each other half a quarter of an hour ago sat at a table. They were not very interested in the delicious food, but they kept drinking. When you go out, you rely on friends, but if you don't drink, you have no friends, and if you don't drink too much, you have no friends who tell the truth. Businessmen are most profit-seeking, and sometimes a word can bring unexpected ways to make money. Anyway, there is nothing to do today, so just drink to your heart's content.

"Brother Takeuchi Mitsutomu, you have earned such a huge fortune at such a young age. You must have something extraordinary about you. It is fate that brings us together today. You can't hide it and refuse to tell us." A man wearing luxurious silk embroidered long sleeves said, and poured Takeuchi Mitsutomu a glass of wine.

"All of my three brothers are good at making money. I'm still far from that." Takeuchi Tomotomo was very tight-lipped. He just kept drinking and eating, and never mentioned how he made money.

The three of them looked at each other, put on smiles on their faces and kept urging each other to drink. It didn't matter if they didn't say anything, because they would rush to tell each other when they were drunk. If we can't figure out how you make money, then the alcohol we've been drinking for decades will have been in vain.

The pub was bustling with people coming and going, except for one table of guests who were only eating and not drinking, as if others owed them money. They had a stern face and did not say a word, only focusing on the food in front of them.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone finally lost his patience and walked up to Takeuchi Mitsutomu and said in a cold voice, "We've eaten and drunk, it's almost time to set off."

Takeuchi Mitsutomu looked at the cold-looking man in front of him with a bewildered look on his face, and asked in confusion, "Is this person someone you know?"

A look of brutality flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes. He raised his right hand, and in an instant a gust of wind wrapped around it like a spirit snake. The noise in the tavern suddenly stagnated, and many diners immediately scattered and fled, fearing that they would be affected by the fight between the ninja masters if they ran too slowly.

"Yakushi Kabuto, we have been watching you for a long time. There is no point in pretending anymore."

Takeuchi smiled apologetically at the three people sitting at the same table. The smell of money on his body disappeared, replaced by a fierce murderous intent: "Since you are the first to lose your patience, why don't we go outside the town to avoid harming innocent people."

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "I didn't expect that a heartless person like you would care about the lives of ants. It can be considered a blessing for the ants in their previous lives that they can die under the ninjutsu that has been tempered for thousands of years."

Yakushi Kabuto took off the human skin mask on his face, picked up a cashew nut with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, saying: "Konoha ninjas have always been known for their hypocrisy, but you guys are different. You must be from the Anbu, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yakushi Kabuto suddenly lowered his head, and a smoke bomb shot out from his collar and exploded, covering the tavern that was bustling just a moment ago.

The other two arrived in an instant. The middle-aged man closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "He's not far away, catch up with him!"

The four of them quickly came to the main road outside the town one after another. Kabuto Yakushi took off the silk clothes that were in the way, stretched his arms and legs and said, "You Konoha are really unwilling to give up. This is the third group of people who have come to claim our lives this month. I hope you have some real skills so that the battle won't be too boring."

Facing the provocation of Kabuto Yakushi, the three Konoha ninjas didn't take it seriously at all, but surrounded him quietly: "You think you are invincible just because you killed a few useless ninjas stationed there. You are an ungrateful person who has been raised by the village since you were a child. You are even less of a person than us."

"It's useless to talk too much. You can see the truth behind your hands."

Yakushi Kabuto sneered, quickly forming seals with his hands, and dozens of water balls the size of a human head shot out: "Water Style: Water Ball Technique!"

"Formation A!"

The three Konoha ninjas dodged the water balls that were flying towards them by dodging left and right, and approached quickly, each holding an iron chain in their hand. The iron balls at the end of the chains were whizzing towards them, obviously wanting to capture them alive.

Yakushi Kabuto raised his eyebrows, and with his right hand, he threw out three Senbon swords. Then he lowered his body and gathered power to launch the sword, rushing towards the enemy in front of him like a cheetah.

The joints of the chain were stuck by the Senbon and could not move. The man loosened the chain in his hand, drew the ninja sword behind him and rushed forward. The two fought with physical skills in the rain.

"clang!"

As soon as the fight started, Kabuto Yakushi suffered a small loss due to lack of strength. The ninja opposite him looked thin, but it turned out that he was a master of physical skills. Every time he swung his ninja sword, it brought with it the force of thunder and lightning, which made his palm numb. If he had not dodged in time, he would have been killed by the sword.

He dodged the enemy's vertical slash again, feeling the chill of the ninja sword whizzing past, and Kabuto Yakushi used his hands to support himself and distance himself. He realized something was wrong as soon as he landed.

"Earth Release Ant Hell!"

"Wind Release·Vacuum Jade!"

The muddy but still solid ground instantly spun under the influence of chakra, and a huge suction force firmly imprisoned Yakushi Kabuto's legs. Before he could find a way to escape, several wind-style ninjutsu containing cutting power came whistling at him, and it seemed that they would make several holes in his vital parts in the next moment.

This is an important reason why a team working together can often defeat the strong with the weak. The fighting tacit understanding formed by companions who spend time together day and night is enough to make up for individual shortcomings, and the complementary coordination of ninjutsu can produce even better results.

At the critical moment, Yakushi Kabuto's face was covered with sweat. He truly smelled the scent of death at this moment. The panic in his eyes flashed away, and then he took a deep breath and shouted, slapping his hands full of chakra on the ground, releasing his own ninjutsu: "Earth Style: Ant Hell!"

Unlike the enemy's ninjutsu, the Ant Hell released by Kabuto Yakushi rotated in the opposite direction to alleviate the huge suction force. Then the chakra at the bottom of his feet suddenly exploded, and he used the impact force to jump up like pulling onions in dry land, dissolving the enemy's chain ninjutsu bombardment.

As soon as Kabuto Yakushi jumped up, he heard a sound of breaking air above his head. A ninja sword with a cold glow pierced through the rain curtain. The thin Konoha ninja appeared above his head cleverly with sharp eyes and launched a new round of attacks.

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi had been prepared and threw a kunai at the ground, then pulled the steel wire that had been tied in advance, and his body made a big turn like a leaf in the wind, thus avoiding the enemy's fatal attack unscathed. However, the large-scale mobilization of chakra in a short period of time also made him breathless, and the cold sweat all over his body was made even colder by the rain.

The three Konoha ninjas gathered together and looked at the somewhat embarrassed boy in front of them with sharp eyes. Although the two sides were hostile, they recognized Kabuto Yakushi from the bottom of their hearts. If an ordinary jonin had used the attack just now, he would most likely have been killed. It was almost an unsolvable killing move. But the boy in front of him boldly used the same ninjutsu to break the ant hell at the moment of life and death, and even made a beautiful dodge in the first time. Only a brave and careful person can do it. Especially according to the intelligence, Kabuto Yakushi had little experience in fighting before, and had not received systematic ninja training. This talent deserves to be said to be terrifying.

The middle-aged man felt sorry for the talent, and seemed to be reluctant to see the genius die halfway, so he persuaded: "Boy, you have great talent, why do you have to hide with a stray dog ​​like Orochimaru? Our special ninja hunting team is more suitable for you. As long as you put down your weapon now, I promise to protect you in front of the Hokage."

Yakushi Kabuto chuckled: "Use words to confuse the enemy's mind in order to gain the upper hand. Your Anbu's fighting style has always been dirty. These words may be a little convincing if they are said by Ye Shan."

The middle-aged man was not angry. He pointed at his nose and said, "I once killed my fellow villagers for a secret technique of the Land of Grass, but now I am still alive and well. The value of a ninja is reflected in the technique. As long as you are valuable enough, even the iron-faced and impartial Hokage will think of making the best use of you. As for the mistake you made, you can blame it on Orochimaru. It's not a difficult thing. I said this out of kindness. I hope you will turn back in time to avoid dying unclearly."

Kabuto Yakushi took out a kunai and took a fighting stance, saying in a deep voice: "You Konoha ninjas killed my parents in front of me more than ten years ago. How can such hatred be resolved with a few words? Lord Orochimaru gave me a chance to take revenge. If I don't seize it firmly, how can I live in this world?"

The middle-aged man remained silent. A blood feud must be paid with blood. But then again, with so many ninjas in the ninja world, who doesn't have a big vengeance to avenge? Hatred has always been a catalyst for strength. The young man in front of him who was full of revenge against Konoha was the best example.

"Formation B, the primary goal is to kill, regardless of life or death!"

Under the early autumn rain, the young Kabuto Yakushi is about to face the first tough battle in his life. Only if he survives will he have a chance to become the chess piece that Konoha needs. If he dies, it will just be another example of failed revenge.

Ye Shan hoped that Kabuto Yakushi would live well and play the role of a double agent as much as possible, so as to provide Konoha with valuable internal information against Akatsuki in the future. However, in order to paralyze the enemy and gain their trust, he had to send out elite soldiers to hunt down Kabuto Yakushi. In order to successfully plant this chess piece, seven people in Konoha Village had died. Whether it was a mule or a horse depended on luck.

The ninja world is very large, and many ninjas can live a carefree life; but it is also very small, so small that some people have to risk their lives to fight for that glimmer of hope.
