Chapter 146 Special Team
In the northeast of the Land of Fire, under the faint dawn in the sky, a ninja team of about twenty people was marching rapidly on the snow-white wilderness. read
Even though they were attacking at the speed of locusts, they could still leave neat footprints and snow marks wherever the team passed.
It can be seen that they are not low-level ninjas.
Of course, the most peculiar thing about this team is actually the age of the members. Except for the two leading captains, their average age is actually less than 14 years old...
From the snowy night when we set out, to the early morning of winter.
It can be seen that such a rapid marching team should be charged with a very important mission...
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and after the team finally reached a more open plain, at the signal of the two captains, they decided to stop and rest.
After getting a breather, most of the young ninjas who had been tensing their nerves and trying their best not to fall behind suddenly collapsed on the ground in a large area. Obviously, it was the first time for most of the young ninja girls to experience such an urgent march.
"Everyone, get ready and rest quickly. I will explain the current battle situation with the deputy captain later, as well as the specific division of labor for our next tasks!"
In front of everyone, on a snow-covered rock, the captain of the team, an old figure, was standing high.
He first glanced at the crooked teenagers below, couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, and then conveyed the order.
"yes."
"clear."
"..."
The young voice responded sparsely. Seeing this scene, the old man shook his head secretly, but finally turned around and looked further into the distance.
It snowed heavily overnight, covering the mountains and fields, and everything was white as far as the eye could see.
This old man wears sunglasses and has a somewhat fashionable appearance. He is wearing beige long sleeves and his clothes are unique. If it weren't for the ninja forehead protector with the Konoha symbol tied around his waist, not many people would have guessed that he was actually a Konoha jounin.
Wherever the fashionable old jounin looked, a very fast black shadow soon came into view. In the blink of an eye, the black shadow quickly landed beside the old man with a few jumps.
"How's it going? Are there any traces of the Kumogakure ninja troops passing by nearby?"
The old man with fashionable hair and sunglasses looked serious at this time, looked at the settled black figure with a little eagerness, and asked.
The black shadow wears a worn-out bamboo hat on his head and carries a large pot on his back. There seem to be some spatulas, spoons and other cooking utensils hanging inside. At first glance, the clothes are shabby like ordinary people, with only an inconspicuous hanging on the back of his waist. Wearing a small sword, this attire makes it difficult for people to think that he is actually a Konoha ninja.
"No trace of the Kumo ninja has been found yet. It seems that the front line has not been breached yet."
As the hat rose, the black shadow revealed an older but kinder face and responded.
The fashionable sunglasses ninja breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and couldn't help but praise sincerely: "The Yondaime only brought a few dozen Anbu, but he was able to stop thousands of Cloud ninja troops invading the Land of Fire overnight. , it’s unbelievable”
"Of course Golden Flash has never disappointed, but since the opportunity has not been lost, it is our turn to do our best to implement the subsequent strategy of blocking the enemy and waiting for reinforcements..."
The old man in the hat obviously believed deeply. Unlike other people's one-sided understanding of the Fourth Hokage's praise of virtues, he himself was fortunate enough to have deeper contact with Namikaze Minato, that is, Zeng Jin and Namikaze Minato who had not yet become Hokage. We performed missions together...
These two people are actually the two captains responsible for leading this team.
On the other side, young and girl ninjas were resting. Many of them looked at the backs of the two old ninjas discussing the mission on the rock from a distance, but they started talking secretly.
"I really didn't expect that the captains this time would be two seniors of such an age. It seems that the village really can't find any outstanding nakajonin who can lead the team..."
"There's nothing we can do about it, but for those of us who need to show off our skills, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Not only them, but along the way, most people have actually discovered that although the people gathered this time are all genin, in fact they are all elites and outstanding people, including several top graders who have graduated genin in the past two years, almost all of them are Gather here. It can be said that these elite genin are only one exam away from being promoted to chuunin...
"That's right. I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking about the war in the Land of Grass. They actually didn't let us genin participate in the war. This was not the case before. My brother, who is four years older than me, has only graduated for more than a year, but he just... After the war with the Iwa ninja in the past few years, he was promoted to chunin after returning.
This speed of promotion is really enviable..."
At this moment, outside the group of people who were gathering together to discuss secretly, a girl's voice with a slightly mocking tone suddenly came: "I thought that all the Genin elites were summoned for this mission, but I didn't expect that there were so many novices. ah.
I really have no knowledge at all..."
As soon as these words were said, several of the teenagers who were discussing quickly stood up and cast angry glances in the direction of the source of the sound.
It turned out that the person who was mocking them was a girl in a trench coat with purple hair, wearing a Konoha forehead protector, standing in the snow with her arms folded, and a kunai surrounding her exposed index finger, which was spinning continuously.
Judging from her leisurely demeanor, it seems that she is not the same as most people who have a lot of physical strength due to rushing all night.
The most uncomfortable thing is actually the girl's aggressive gaze, full of arrogance and provocation...
Due to this mission, most people were suddenly called together, so many people actually didn't know each other, and the dissatisfied and mocking teenagers didn't know the truth of the purple-haired girl for a while. After all, there were too many genius ninjas and potential genin in this group of strangers. It would be bad if they hit the iron plate with their rude words...
Therefore, the very dissatisfied teenagers who stood up had to endure it first, suppressed their anger and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
However, the purple-haired girl seemed to be a little disappointed with the performance of these people who didn't dare to attack. She curled her lips slightly. Although she explained, her tone was more contemptuous: "You don't know the elite jonin of Konoha, the master of physical skills, Mr. Chen, you might as well not be a ninja..."
These few short words shocked the teenagers instantly.
There weren't many ninjas who were famous for their physical skills, especially those who had reached the level of Konoha's jonin. So in this period when Might Guy hadn't become a famous jonin, many people had heard of the name of Master Chen, the master of physical skills, even if they had never seen him. Moreover, he was a senior who had been famous for a long time...
The purple-haired girl glanced at the people who were looking at each other in bewilderment, and seemed to think that it was really meaningless to mock these rookies, so she turned around and left.
After she left, the crowd of people who were talking immediately exploded.
"Is it Senior Chen Long, the master of physical arts? Is it true?!"
"But, how come I heard that Senior Chen Long died of illness two years ago? Is our captain really the master of physical arts?"
"I think this is probably... true."
At this moment, everyone had already secretly looked at the two captains on the rock. One of the young men looked at them for a long time and suddenly said, "I heard that Senior Chen Long is an older senior who dresses very fashionably. So..."
"Sure enough, all the people summoned for this mission are monsters, even the captain is such a legendary senior."
Although after a discussion, everyone immediately became more curious about the identity of the other old ninja, but no one could give an answer to this. Instead, during the discussion, someone recognized the identity of the rebellious girl who had mocked before.
Orochimaru's direct disciple, Mitarashi Anko...
