Escape from konoha 55

The meeting with Anbu 'Roots' ninja ended in less than ten minutes.

Afterwards, these people hibernate in secret again. It is estimated that they will come to meet again only when they are officially in action. Let's confirm the preparations of both parties.

After coming to the hidden Grass, Shiraishi and others sat down in a circle.

"Speaking of which, what kind of organization is Anbu's 'root'? Is there such an organization in Anbu, is it directly under the Hokage?"

Anbu is directly under the Hokage, and special course explanations are set up in the textbooks of the ninja school. The main reason is to prevent future ninjas from mistaking Anbu from their own village for enemies.

The ninjas who can join Anbu are all elites. The main composition of Anbu is 70 people, divided into four teams, and each team has four squads. The four teams have a total of 16 squad leaders.

And the strength of every squad leader is at least at Jounin.

Anbu protects the safety of Hokage, and performs various high-risk confidential tasks. It can be said that They are the ninjas who protect Konoha in the dark.

But Shiraishi had never heard of Anbu's "root", so he became suspicious of the identities of those ninjas.

Ayane also shook her head. The Anbu matter is a secret. Most ninjas only know that such an organization exists, as well as the composition and number of troops.

As for who joined it, and what the Anbu ninjas are good at, these are all confidential.

Ruri frowned slightly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and said after a while of silence: "I heard about the 'root' of Anbu before from the elder Tenjin in the clan. He said that it is another high-level unit directly under the Hokage. This unit hides deeper than ordinary Anbu, and their tasks are even more shady. They follow the strategy of 'rather kill the wrong than let them go', silently protecting Konoha in the dark."

"Adopt the strategy of killing the wrong Then never letting the wrong go? Will Hokage-sama acquiesce in this kind of thing?"

Shiraishi was puzzled by this.

If this kind of thing comes out, it will deal a huge blow to the reputation of the high-level leaders headed by Hokage.

Even after Anbu catches someone, there is still an interrogation stage to determine whether a person is an enemy or a friend.

Ninjas in Anbu 'root' don't need to do this, as long as they subjectively judge anyone as enemy, they will directly wipe them out.

If this kind of organization is not properly operated, it is easy to cause a huge loss of reputation to the rulers of the authorities, resulting in being forced to step down.

"This matter should be acquiesced. If there is no acquiescence, Root will not grow up with the power of Anbu. The ninjas of this organization have no name, no emotion, no past, and no future. They only have tasks that must be completed in their hearts."

After listening to Ruri's narration, Shiraishi and Ayane remembered this mission. The ninjas of Anbu 'Root' planned to make Themselves a human bomb to destroy the supply point of the sand ninjas, which indeed fit the category of machines.

The only purpose of their existence is to complete the task.

As for the means and what to sacrifice, that is something that will be considered after the task, or there is no need to think about it.

"What a horrible bunch."

Shiraishi sighed with emotion.

No matter what, when a person who doesn't even care about his own life for a certain goal, he will make other people feel scared of him from the bottom of their heart.

Without the darkness of the abyss, there is no beautiful and calm lake.

No matter what the era is, these people who work silently in the dark are needed.

"So, what do you think about this mission?"

Ruri put the map stand that the ninja of Anbe 'Root' gave them on the ground. This is a precise map of the Land of Rivers, and all the places are recorded on it, and the distance and environmental information are marked.

Ruri pointed to an area in the valley of the Land of Rivers, where the supply point of Hidden Sand Village was located, and it was also the location of Shiraishi's attack.

Shiraishi looked at the map and said slowly: "The supply point is very close to Sand village's camp. Judging from the distance marked above, it only takes ten minutes for the support to arrive. In other words, we only have ten minutes to do a feint attack to cause a large-scale riot until we leave the battlefield safely. With the strength of the three of us, it is too reluctant."

The division of labor in the plan is very clear. The three of them and the others are responsible for a feint attack, maximizing the disturbance, and then quickly leave the battlefield, switching to the ninja of Anbu Root.

The difficulty of the task lies in how to quickly and effectively cause large-scale riots within ten minutes, attract the attention of the sand ninjas, and create a reliable offensive environment for the ninjas of Anbu 'roots', and then how to evacuate the battlefield in time to avoid being affected by their own detonators.

"No matter how you look at it, ten minutes is too short."

Ayane nodded, agreeing with Shiraishi's statement.

There must be many sand ninjas guarding the supply point in the Land of Rivers, let alone high-level ninjas. In such an important area, it is not too much to place more than ten high-level ninjas.

In addition to the Jounin, there are a lot of Chunnin. To complete the feint mission under the siege of so many Jounin and Chunnin, in the time limit of ten minutes. In theory, this is an almost impossible task.

"If there is a commotion, I can use a large-scale Fire Style technique. And because there are important supplies there, the sand ninjas will not use large-scale ninjutsu attacks, so this is a place that is more beneficial to us. But it is not an easy task to escape from the sand ninja circle. I remember that you made a lot of very practical props this time."

Ruri glanced at Shiraishi.

"I didn't expect these to come in handy so soon."

Shiraishi sighed helplessly, took out a scroll from the ninja bag, spread it on the ground, unlocked the sealing technique on it, and a bunch of things appeared with white smoke.

"these are…"

Ayane picked up a projectile that looked like a smoke bomb, showing curiosity.

"Contains highly toxic smoke bombs, the range and duration are longer than ordinary smoke bombs, and there are antidotes."

"But if the enemy uses Wind Style to blow away the smoke..."

"It doesn't matter, I will use the Fire Style technique at that time. If the enemy uses Wind wind Style to attack, it will strengthen my Fire Style technique and expand the range of Fire Style."

In this way, the enemy's Wind Style cannot be easily used, and the three of them can use the poisonous mist to make a feint and make a big fuss there.

However, after that, he will face a large number of sand ninjas, and it requires careful planning on how to escape.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the river valley area at the junction of the Fire Country and the River Country was already shrouded in darkness, with gusts of cold wind blowing.

"Let's talk about the retreat plan while walking on the road. We have to arrive at the mission site in the middle of the night, and there are less than six hours left. Time is going too fast."

This time it was a surprise attack plan, so I didn't have too long to think about the countermeasures. I had to destroy the supply point before it was transferred.

Otherwise, once the timeliness of the information expires, it will not be that simple to find out the location of the supply point of Sand village again.

••••

Late at night, the Konoha Camp on the border of the Land of Fire was so quiet that not even the chirping of insects was heard.

In a tent, the simple electric lights inside are a bit dim, so that only the center of the tent is lit, and the edges of the tent are still covered in darkness.

Tsunade stood in front of a table and sorted out a piece of information.

Because the information this time is not trivial, it needs to be carefully reviewed.

At this moment, a white-haired ninja came in from outside.

"Tsunade, are you still working? It's already too late."

The person who came was Jiraiya, who is also a Sannin with Tsunade. As soon as he came in, he smiled at Tsunade and said hello.

"It's you, Jiraiya. What's the matter?"

Tsunade looked up at Jiraiya, then continued to lower his head to check the information carefully.

It can be seen that she is not in the mood to talk to people now.

Seeing Tsunade like this, Jiraiya sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry about Nawaki, if I was there at that time..."

If Sand Village and Konoha started fighting, he could come back as soon as possible and take care of it with Orochimaru, maybe he could avoid the tragedy of Nawaki.

However, this incident has passed, and people cannot be resurrected after death. Seeing that the smile on Tsunade's face is much less than before, Jiraiya is both worried and guilty.

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Tsunade's tone became very cold.

Hearing that Jiraiya also talked about Nawaki, Tsunade felt a pain in her heart, but she quickly cheered up and was not Sad because of this kind of thing.

She is now burdened with a large number of Konoha ninja's health and life, she must not show a weak posture at this time, and make people look down on her.

"..."

Jiraiya stood aside silently, and did not refute Tsunade's words.

"Since you're back, just hurry up and do your job well. Don't hinder my work here."

Tsunade's tone softened, but the meaning of driving him away was very clear.

Jiraiya didn't say anything, but a disappointed expression appeared on his face.

"Wait!"

Tsunade suddenly stopped him.

"What's up?"

I also feel strange.

"Sakumo's team is responsible for the surprise attack on the Sand village Supply Point this time, right?"

Tsunade suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the moment.

"Yes, It's Sakumo's team. Because this task is very important, only Sakumo is suitable for completing this task, so the higher-ups handed over this task to his team to complete."

The task of cutting off the hidden sand supply point this time is related to the future of the battle.

If the mission can be completed perfectly, the front of Hidden Sand Village will be self-defeated due to insufficient supplies, and Konoha will achieve the greatest results with minimal sacrifice.

At that time, the two sides will enter into a peace talks meeting to end the war that has lasted for more than two years.

In case of failure, the war will continue. For Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire, this is not a good result.

The best result is to end the war quickly, and the two sides enter into a peace talks meeting to end the war through peace talks.

Jiraiya also had great confidence in Sakumo's ability, and even had great confidence in this mission.

It’s probably not just him, the village has probably already started drafting the peace talks between Konoha and Sunagakure.

Seeing Tsunade's increasingly strange expression, Jiraiya felt a sudden shock in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"This is the information on conflict with the sand village drawn up by me and Orochimaru. And this is not the usual connection signal of Anbu at all..."

Tsunade took out one of the many documents.

After hearing this sentence, Jiraiya's expression changed.

"Jiraiya, when you were in the village, when you took over the information from Anbu, are you sure you didn't drop or lose it?"

Tsunade frowned and looked at Jiraiya.

Because this matter is of great importance, the information transmitted from Konoha this time was sent by Anbu to Jiraiya, and then Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, personally escorted it to the front line to ensure that it was safe.

"Impossible! On the way, I have been acting with Sakumo's team. It is impossible for someone to tamper with this information!"

Jiraiya snatched the information from Tsunade, and read it carefully from beginning to end.

His complexion is getting worse and worse.

"What, what's going on here? Why is the content on this different from what Sarutobi-sensei explained to me?"

Jiraiya's shoulders began to shake, and he looked at the information displayed on it in disbelief.

"It seems that you were tricked. Since there was no accident on the way, there is only one possibility. The one who gave you that was part of the Root, and They were not Sarutobi-sensei's subordinates."

Tsunade's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Jiraiya's body stiff and cold sweat dripping from his face.

This is completely bad!

The failure to complete the mission is secondary. If Sakumo's team died in this mission because of his carelessness and fell into the enemy's scheme, then the real problem will begin.

"No, I have to save them!"

Jiraiya was sweating profusely in anxiety, and rushed out of the tent regardless of anything.

"Wait, Jiraiya, don't be impulsive, even if you rush over now—"

However, by the time Tsunade caught up, Jiraiya had already disappeared into the vast night without a trace.

"This idiot, if you rush to rescue like this, you will easily be ambushed by the enemy!"

Tsunade cursed in a low voice, and could only stare helplessly at the door of the tent.
