The Steady King of Konoha

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 tasks they perform are more 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 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. It has been five or six years since the start of World War II. With bad luck, the civilian ninjas with insufficient strength have long been exhausted, and those who can survive are elites. Extremely cruel deaths

The rate caused the civilian families in the village to no longer choose to send their children to ninja schools and began to look for other ways out. Because the ninja schools completely turned into cannon fodder processing factories during the war, they only taught simple three-body surgery and distributed forehead protectors.

Groups of cannon fodder were sent to the battlefield in batches. 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 a few civilian ninjas. Under the influence of the Konoha Ninja Army, civilian ninjas will be replaced by the Konoha Ninja Army.

The proportion has dropped significantly, gradually losing the atmosphere at the beginning of the war. It has to be said that the war has progressed so far, and the purpose of launching the war by the ruling group headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen has been achieved. The Senju clan has retired, and the Uchiha clan has now

They were still fighting Kirigakure on the border; they were extremely harmonious internally, and they fought wherever they wanted; civilian ninjas suffered heavy casualties in the war, and they would no longer shout for fair treatment all day long. All the conflicts before the war were caused by the enemy's weapons.

Silence and search for traces, kill three birds with one stone, there are not many such good things in the world.

The second reason is that Sarutobi Hiruzen's reforms forced all the major families to participate in the war. The first Hokage's governing style was to embrace 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 the Sage)

). Strong strength brings an extremely broad mind. All things in the village are discussed together and are never dictatorial. The second-generation Hokage's governing style is institutionalized and rigorous. No matter what the purpose, the Ninja Village

This group has truly flourished in the hands of Senju Tobirama. The series of systems he founded have turned the loose family-owned Konoha Village into a war machine and exerted strong cohesion. It was during this period that

During this period, the ninjas began to truly abandon the traditional family concept and initially adopted the national concept. By the time of the Third Hokage, they who grew up in the greenhouse lost the mind and strategy of their ancestors and became four different people. On the one hand, they shouted "Fire"

The slogan of will, on the one hand, suppressed each ninja clan and turned the democratic village into a monolithic village, making everyone miserable. They even issued policies that strictly ordered each ninja clan to allocate manpower to the war according to proportion, a proper high-pressure rule.

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 Nara clan ninja with a very flexible mind. He has always been Hatake Sakumo's military leader. When he saw Namikaze Minato and others walking in, he looked 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, otherwise, with the strength of the Minato Team ninjas, there is no way to return it alive.

questionable.

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, Yeshan continued to squat down, waiting for the next person to introduce himself.

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

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

Good guy, why are you two talking about cross talk? Hayama 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 respected, and when the time comes, it is most comfortable to use strength to slap people in the face.

The method is much more refreshing than speaking.

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 hand-to-hand combat, it is difficult for them to achieve success in other aspects.

Achievements. There is always only one criterion for measuring the strength of a ninja, and that is comprehensive strength. It is not impossible to specialize in one area, but it is 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 his 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. As of now, it is not Namikaze Minato's turn. Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo in front are waiting in line to take over. Even if

To become Hokage, he is probably 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 food. The westernmost part of Akihabara is bordered by the endless desert. In order to prevent soil desertification, Sunagakure Village

Several hills of earth were piled here, and the hills were planted with trees to isolate the dry air of the desert and prevent soil erosion.

Hayama has been here several times, and every time he marvels at the wonders 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. Unfortunately, some people

There are disputes everywhere. 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 Sand Hidden 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 outside 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 was not an ordinary dog, but

It is a ninja dog trained from an early age by the secret arts of the Inuzuka clan. Not only does it have an extremely sensitive nose and sense of smell, but it can also cooperate with its owner to perform the family's secret arts, making it a perfect dog-like fighter.

The ninja dog with the eyepatch was huge, as big as a calf. It twitched its nose a few times and let out a few whimpers. 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 narrowed his eyes and after seeing Minato's gesture, his whole aura became vague, and then he gradually sank into the ground and moved toward the entrance of the cave. Minato suddenly disappeared on 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 them to step back, and the majestic chakra in his body boiled and slowly formed a knot.

Seal.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

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.

Guessing that the heat was about the same, Hayama 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 his body was 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 medicinal herb is hard-won and is a treasure in Sunagakure's heart. Sunagakure's senior officials even announced that it was missing.

How could an order like "Medicine Master's Severe Punishment" not make the guarding sand ninjas anxious?

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

Hayama set a fire in the darkness, burning many Suna ninjas with rage, but he left without hesitation under their noses. One Suna ninja was so angry that he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fainted on the spot...

Sure enough, space ninjutsu is the necessary ninjutsu for killing people and setting fires. 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!
