Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 173 S-Level Mission

Shirai Ryo’s injury is not serious, so although Yamanakakaze’s medical ninjutsu is a little unreliable, it also leaves Shirai Ryo’s life safe.

Therefore, after a rest night, the three set off on their way home, but the difference is that Shirai Ryo was carried all the way back to Konoha.

Enter Konoha through the secret passage at the root, and then go straight back to the base of the root.

Shirai Ryo’s injury needed treatment and was sent directly to the medical room, and then Xia Shu and Yamanaka Feng came to the mission room.

“It’s done very well.” Ren put down the intelligence scroll in his hand and said lightly: “Take a rest for one day, and continue to join the training tomorrow.”

The two retreated.

Back in the dormitory area, Xia Shu recalled what happened yesterday, and shook his head with a wry smile after a long time.

“Anyway, that’s not something I can manage. If I bother to worry about Third Hokage, it’s better to refine more Chakra.”

The root training is rigorous but the effect is remarkable. With a variety of secret medicines, Xia Shu’s Chakra volume at the moment is already Chūnin’s standard.

Even if this increased consumption is still a drop in the bucket, but the matter of gathering sand into a tower has long been accustomed to it, but it is a bit irritating when the daily chakra “fills the hole” is refined.

In the next day’s training, Natsuki found that the number of ninjas dropped sharply, and there was no change for a long time thereafter, which deepened the previous guess.

There is no need to tell others about these things. You know what you should know, and you will never know what you should not know.

What’s more, even if you know it, even the Ninja School still has a mortality rate. The roots hidden under Anbu are naturally not easier than that.

In particular, ninjas are self-proclaimed tools and generally ignore life, whether it is someone else’s or their own.

Since the first mission, Shirai Ryo and Yamanaka Kaze formed a team with him, and the training of internal contests for winning and losing groups was completely stopped after that. The first 27 people stabilized at 15 people and formed five teams.

After the teams were formed, they still competed with each other, but they turned into small teams, and because of this procedural change, the root base could no longer be used as a training venue, and gradually entered Konoha Village or even out of the village for training.

During the training process, all teams gradually took over tasks, and Xia Shu’s team was no exception.

Initially it is C level.

With Shirai Ryo’s strategy, and Yamanaka’s fine mystery skills, with the execution power of Natsuki, this level of tasks can be easily suppressed even if there is an emergency.

After the transition, it is mostly B-level.

This level of tasks must be cautious, but with tacit cooperation, under normal circumstances, it can also be pushed flat.

The A-level and S-levels with the least number of executions cannot be overstated. Except for infiltrating and detecting intelligence missions, they basically survived the danger.

Time flies like an arrow, time passes quickly, half a year later, the ultimate assessment of the roots begins!

On the training ground, all teams gather!

Xia Shu stood in it, next to Shirai Ryo, whose face was no longer as pale as before, and Yamanaka, who was restrained and reticent.

Looking across the slightly empty training ground, compared to half a year ago, these root candidates have reduced by two more teams, leaving only three teams with nine people!

On the guardrail of the second floor stand, a few masked root ninjas suddenly appeared, looking down below with indifferent gazes.

Danzo’s figure then quietly emerged, wearing root-style clothing, with a chilling breath, it seemed that he had just returned to the base.

“The roots don’t need useless people. Those who fail the assessment have no value to survive in this cruel world!” Danzo said this cold remark, and Kage-level’s murderous aura suddenly poured out. In an instant, the air seemed to freeze and train. Everyone on the court couldn’t help trembling.

“This is the task of this assessment.” Ren held a scroll, but when it was thrown out, it turned into three.

Xia Shu took a scroll and handed it to Shirai Ryo next to him.

After root training, Shirai Ryo’s strength is still very average, and can even be regarded as Chūnin’s floor, but his mind is really good, and his strategy is flexible. In the past cooperation, Xia Shu is quite happy.

After many times of running-in, the three members of the team have their own positioning. Shirai Ryo is responsible for setting the strategy, Yamanaka wind-sensing ninjutsu assists and controls, and Xia Shu is to check the gaps, and use the team’s strongest strength to turn it into execution. , Turning strategy into reality.

Regardless of whether they are high or low, the tacit cooperation is based on the same aspirations, so they are all performed by their own strengths, and it is precisely because of this that they can leapfrog to complete A and even S-level tasks.

“As an assessment task, this time is naturally S-level, and it is different from the previous missions of infiltration, assassination, and intelligence detection. This is an interception task where a frontal battle will occur.” Ren said coldly: “So, this task is not. Then there is the action of a separate team, but the three teams of you will execute it together.”

“Yes!” the nine people responded in unison.

Unlike ordinary ninjas, Anbu ninjas do not have the initiative to choose tasks, while root ninjas do not even have the right to refuse tasks.

At this moment, Xia Shu and others are not officially root ninjas, but as long as the assessment is successful, it will be natural, so they have developed this habit of not rejecting.

“So… scattered!” Ren waved and shouted.

The three teams disappeared instantly, and the air in the training ground was suddenly shocked into a mess.

Danzo turned around and walked out slowly, saying indifferently: “Yongma, keep up. If the final task is completed, you can provide proper support. If the task fails…”

The young man wearing sunglasses and a purple tattoo on his face respectfully nodded, and then vanished into place.

Leaving Konoha Village from the secret road, the three teams gathered in the forest outside the village.

“The mission goal is in the country of birds at the moment. When we get there, we must cross the country of rain.” Hanazawa Heijiro’s indifferent boy first spoke. On both sides of him were his teammates Fukuyama Hidema and Shiraishi Kou.

“The country of birds is a small country between the country of earth and the country of wind. It is insignificant, but the country of rain has frequent turmoil, and it is easy to cause trouble if you set foot on it rashly.” A corner frowned and shook his head. Next to him, the young but precocious Inuzuka Yuu nodded and continued to support his companion.

“You can borrow from the country of grass, but this will take a day and a night.” Kobayashi Lihua, who had no choice but to turn Byakugan to Inuzuka Yui, made a suggestion with her soft voice.

“We don’t have so much time to waste.” Shirai Ryo directly denied, squinting his eyes, and solemnly said: “In fact, the key point of this mission is very clear, that is, the power of the goal far exceeds us, so we must Grasp all the advantages that can be occupied, time is one of them!”
