Naruto: We are invincible

Chapter 190 Secret Mission

"I am the captain, put your weapons down, this is an order!" Naruto ordered. Sai nodded silently.

"Yes, Captain." Sai said, slowly lowering his arm and putting the dagger back into the scabbard. There was no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he really thought. Naruto let go of his hand and turned to Hinata.

"Damn those Root ninjas, they're full of cruelty." Naruto thought, he sighed deeply and turned to his teammates. "Come on, Sai, let's find a place to camp and have a good rest."

## Late Night ##

Night fell and darkness enveloped the entire forest.

During the day, the dense trees made the forest very dark, and at night, there was only pitch black.

Sai looked up at the treetops. A few rays of moonlight passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves, bringing a ray of light to the dark forest.

Sai then began to observe the surrounding environment.

Under the tree, Naruto and Hinata fell asleep, while Sai was in charge of keeping watch.

He looked toward the edge of the clearing and saw the ninja wire gleaming in the moonlight.

A few meters away, there was a detonating tag tied to a string.

Sai stood up and quietly opened his backpack.

He pulled out a scroll from his backpack containing the information on his mission, which was given to him by Danzo himself.

He slowly unfolded the scroll and looked at the mission description, but was surprised to find that the detailed mission content was not written on it.

When he saw the target of the mission, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out.

**Mission target: Senju Naruto and Senju Hinata**

This place looks like a dungeon.

Sai looked around and saw many wooden bridges crisscrossing each other. He walked to the bridge and looked down, but he could only see darkness.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps and saw Danzo walking towards him, with a Root ninja on each side.

Sai immediately knelt on one knee.

"Master Danzo." Sai bowed his head in respect to his master.

"You're here, Sai," Danzo said.

Sai slowly raised his head. According to the rules of the Root Organization, they could never look directly at their master unless they were allowed to do so.

"I have a very important task to entrust to you." Danzo said, and Sai nodded. Although his face still looked indifferent and calm, it could not conceal his inner determination and concentration.

"You will be called to the Hokage's office tomorrow, where you will receive a mission that will last for nearly a month. You will go to the Hidden Cloud Village to take part in the Jonin Exam as a member of the Konoha Village representative team, and Lady Tsunade will arrange you into a three-person team as the third member. Do you understand?" Danzo asked, and Sai nodded.

"The exam follows the same structure as the Chunin Exams. The first stage is an assessment of basic skills, the second stage is a survival trial, and the final stage is an actual combat confrontation," Danzo explained, handing Sai a separate scroll.

"Your task is written on this scroll. You can only open it during the second stage of the exam, preferably when you are alone. Do you understand?"

"As you command, Lord Danzo," Sai replied, putting the scroll into his pocket.

"I believe I don't need to explain to you the importance of every mission I give you, right?" Danzo asked, taking a deep breath and staring at Sai sharply.

"In the Root Organization, we have no names, no feelings, no past, and no future, only missions." Sai recited. Danzo nodded, satisfied with his student's performance.

"You can go now," Danzo ordered. Sai lowered his head again, then turned and left, disappearing into the dark tunnel.

"Can I say something?" Danzo turned and asked the person on his right.

The ninja to his right was wearing a short black jacket with a red logo on the shoulder.

"Go ahead," Danzo replied, signaling the other party to speak directly.

"Do you think Sai can accomplish this task?"

Danzo just snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Naruto has become very powerful, too powerful to be controlled. This is the problem faced by powerful ninjas, and the reason why most of them eventually betray the village. Young Naruto may not understand it yet, but power and fear are the eternal laws of this world. When some ninjas have power beyond their leaders, things become very complicated. What do you think Naruto would do if Lady Tsunade gave an order that conflicted with his beliefs? Do you think he would obey orders that conflicted with his own interests?" Danzo asked, but the other party remained silent. "A ninja is nothing more than a weapon, and a disobedient weapon is worthless to me."

"What about Senju Hinata?" asked the ninja standing to Danzo's left. He was a tall, thin man.

"You mean... Hinata Senju, she is the daughter of the former clan leader Hyuga Hiashi who was deprived of the right of inheritance." Danzo said, a sneer slowly appeared on his face. "Naruto treated her very well. She may look shy, quiet, kind, and fragile, but she is a descendant of the royal family like me."

"Although she doesn't have Naruto's powerful strength and raw power, she is just as deadly. Do you remember how she treated Hyuga Hiashi? That was her biological father and one of the most powerful ninjas in Konoha Village. In fact, in some ways, I think the girl is more dangerous than the boy. Although Naruto is impulsive and reckless, he inherited the character of the Senju clan, and I should be glad that he did not inherit the character of the Uchiha clan. And that girl..." Danzo said, falling into deep thought.

"She is smart, calm and decisive. After all, these are the qualities that a good medical ninja needs to have." Danzo explained, "She won't be as reckless and impulsive as Naruto. If she is as good as I think she is, she will hide in the dark and wait for the best time to strike. This is a true ninja. Her outstanding appearance is enough to allow her to pass through unimpeded, coupled with her talent and my careful teaching, she will become a Hokage who will go down in history." Danzo said with anticipation.

"I'm not afraid of those who charge into battle without thinking, but I'm afraid of those who hide in the shadows, those who manipulate everything behind the scenes. She gives me the feeling of someone who would hide behind the scenes, cooperate with those insignificant little people, and manipulate everything secretly. It's a pity that she and Naruto have the same philosophy."

Danzo sighed helplessly and ended the topic. Sai could have shined in the Root organization, but it was a pity...

"If they are really as you say, then why do you think Sai can complete this task?" the subordinate asked, and Danzo smiled sinisterly.

"Even a Kage-level warrior can be killed by a kunai."
