False Information and Mission
The meeting with the Anbu ninja was over in less than ten minutes.
Afterward, these people hibernated again, and it is estimated that they will come to reunite again only when they formally act to confirm the preparations of both sides.
When they came to a hidden bush, the three sat down in a circle.
"By the way, what organization is the 'root'? Is there such an organization in the Anbu?"
Anbu is directly under the control of the Hokage, and special courses are set out in the ninja school textbooks. The main reason is to prevent future ninjas from mistakenly thinking of the Anbu in your village as enemies. To avoid this embarrassing situation, the Konoha Ninjas are all aware of this organization.
The ninjas who can join Anbu are all masters. The main composition of Anbu is 70 people, divided into four teams, with each team having 16 members, which are divided into small teams of 4 members.
And the strength of every squad leader is Jōnin.
It is used to protect the safety of Hokage and perform various high-risk secret missions.
However, Shiraishi had never heard of roots, so he became suspicious of the identity of those ninjas.
Ayane also shook his head. The Anbu's affairs are classified. Most ninjas know that there is such an organization, as well as the composition and number of troops.
As for who to join in, and what the ninjas of Anbu are good at, these are all secrets.
Ruri frowned slightly, folded her hands over her chest, and said after a moment of silence, "The clan elder has already talked about the roots. Another high-ranking member of Konoha is said to have an army under his command, this unit hides deeper than the Anbu, and their tasks are even more obscure. They follow the strategy of never leaving a trace and silently protecting Konoha in the dark."
"Pursuing a strategy of killing mistakes? Will Master Hokage acquiesce in such a thing?"
Shiraishi was puzzled by this.
If this kind of thing is exposed, it will cause a huge blow to the reputation of the high-level leaders headed by Hokage.
Even after the Anbu catches a person, an interrogation stage is required to determine whether a person is an enemy or a friend.
The people of Anbu's roots don't need to do this, as long as they are judged as enemies subjectively, they will directly obliterate them.
If this kind of organization is improperly operated, it is easy to cause a huge loss of prestige to the ruler, leading to being forced to step down.
"This matter should acquiesce. If there is no acquiescence, the roots will not grow up with the power of Anbu. The ninjas of this organization have no name, no feelings, 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 people of Anbu "Gen" are going to make a human body bomb by themselves to destroy the supply point of the sand ninja, which is indeed in line with the scope of the machine.
The sole purpose of their existence is to complete the task.
As for the means and sacrifices, they are things that will be considered after the task or do not need to be considered.
"What a horrible group of guys."
Shiraishi sighed with emotion.
No matter when this kind of person who doesn't even care about his own life for a certain goal will make people feel scared from the bottom of my heart.
Without the darkness of the abyss, there would be no beautiful and peaceful lake.
No matter what era it is, these people who work silently in the dark are needed.
"So, getting back to business, what do you think about this mission?"
Ruri put the map that Anbu's "gen" ninjas gave them on the ground. This is a precise map of Kawa no Kuni. All the places are recorded on it without omission, and distance and environmental information are marked.
Ruri pointed to an area in the Country of Rivers, where the supply point of sand Village was located, and it was also the location of Shiraishi's attack.
Shiraishi looked at the map slowly and said: "The supply point is very close to the camp of Sand. From the distance marked above, the support can be reached in only ten minutes. In other words, we have always There is only ten minutes of action time to safely leave the battlefield. With the strength of the three of us, it is too reluctant."
The division of labor was very clear. The three of Shiraishi and the others were responsible for feigning attacks, maximizing the turmoil, and then quickly leaving the battlefield. The ninja who switched Anbu roots blew himself up, destroying all the supplies at the sand hidden supply point, and completed the mission.
The difficulty of the task lies in how to quickly and effectively cause a large-scale riot within ten minutes, attract the attention of the sandy ninja, create a reliable offensive environment for the ninja of Anbu, and then how to evacuate the battlefield in time.
"No matter how you look at it, ten minutes is too short."
Ayane nodded, agreeing with Shiraishi's statement.
The number of sandy ninjas guarded at the supply point will certainly not be small, not to mention the upper-level ninjas, even if there are more than ten upper-level ninjas in such an important area.
In addition to the upper ninja, the equipped middle ninjas will not go too far. To complete the task under the siege of so many upper and lower ninjas, the time limit is ten minutes. In theory, this is almost impossible to complete.
"If it causes a stir, I can use large-scale Jutsu. And because there are important supplies there, the sandy ninja won't use large-scale attacks, so this is a better place for us. It's not easy to get out of Sand's siege. I remember that before you left this time, you made a lot of useful props."
Ruri glanced at Shiraishi.
"I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon."
Shiraishi sighed helplessly, took out a scroll from the ninja bag, and spread it out on the ground. After unlocking the sealing technique on it, a pile of things appeared with white smoke.
"these are..."
Ayane picked up a projectile that resembled a smoke bomb, showing curiosity.
"Smog bombs containing highly toxic smoke have a longer range and duration than ordinary smoke bombs, and they also have an antidote."
"But then if the enemy spreads with the wind..."
"It doesn't matter, I will use fire escape when the time comes. If the enemy uses wind escape to attack, it will strengthen my fire escape and expand the fire escape range."
In this way, the enemy's wind escape cannot be easily used, and the three of them can use the poisonous fog to feint and make a big fuss there.
However, after that, there will be a large number of sandy ninjas who will be chased and killed, and how to get out requires careful planning.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the river valley area at the border of the country of fire and the country of rivers was shrouded in darkness, and bursts of cold wind came.
"About the plan of retreat, let's talk while walking on the road. To get to the mission location in the middle of the night, there are only less than six hours left. The time is very short."
This time it was a surprise attack plan, so it didn't take too long to think about countermeasures. It was necessary to destroy the supply point before it was transferred.
◎
In the middle of the night, the Konoha camp on the border of the Fire Country was so quiet that there was no sound of bugs.
In a tent, the light of the simple electric light inside is a little dim, until only the center of the tent is lit up, and the edge of the tent is still covered by 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 reviewed carefully.
At this moment, a white-haired ninja came in from outside.
"Tsunade, are you still working?"
The visitor was Jiraiya, who is also Sannin as Tsunade, smiled at Tsunade and said hello as soon as he entered.
"It's you, Jiraiya. Is there anything wrong?"
Tsunade raised his head and glanced at Jiraiya, then continued to lower his head to check the information carefully.
I can see that she is not in the mood to talk to anyone now.
Seeing Tsunade like this, Jiraiya sighed slightly and said, "I'm sorry about the Nawaki. If I was there at that time..."
If the moment sand and Konoha go to war, he can rush back as soon as possible and take care of Nawaki, maybe he can avoid the tragedy of Nawaki from happening.
However, this matter has passed, and people cannot come back from death. Seeing Tsunade's smile on his face is much less than before, Jiraiya is both and guilty in his heart.
"This has nothing to do with you!"
Tsunade's tone was very cold.
Hearing that Jiraiya talked about Nawaki, Tsunade felt a pain in his heart, but he quickly cheered up and was not knocked down because of this kind of thing.
And she must not show a weak posture at this time to make people look down on her.
"..."
Jiraiya stood silently aside and did not refute Tsunade's words.
"Since I'm back, just do my job as soon as possible. Don't hinder my work here."
Tsunade's tone eased, but his intention to drive him away was clear.
Jiraiya didn't say anything, but a lost expression appeared on his face.
"and many more!"
Tsunade stopped him suddenly.
"what's up?"
Jiraiya also felt strange.
"This time the mission of the surprise attack on sand's supply point is the Sakumo team, right?"
Tsunade suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the present.
"Because this task is very important, only Sakumo is suitable to complete this task, so the above task is handed over to his team to complete."
The task of cutting off the supply point of sand this time is related to the future direction of the battle.
If the task can be completed perfectly, then the inner supply of the village hidden in the sand will be inadequate, leading to self-destruction, and Konoha will achieve great advantage with minimal sacrifices.
At that time, the two sides will enter the peace talks and end the war that has lasted for more than two years.
In case of failure, it means that the war will continue. For Konoha and fire country, this is not a very good result.
The best result is to end the war quickly, and the two sides enter the peace talks to end the war by means of peace talks.
And Jiraiya also trusts Sakumo's abilities very much and even has great confidence in this mission.
It is estimated that it is not just him, but the village has already begun to draft the peace agreement between Konoha and sand.
Seeing Tsunade's increasingly erroneous expression, Jiraiya also felt a sudden change, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"The information above conflicts with the plan drawn up by Orochimaru and me. And this is not the usual connector signal of Anbu at all..."
Tsunade took a large number of documents.
After hearing these words, Jiraiya's expression changed.
"Jiraiya, when you were in the village when you took over the information from Anbu, were you sure you were not dropped by anyone?"
Tsunade frowned and looked at Jiraya.
Because the matter was of great importance, this time the information passed from Konoha was sent to Jiraiya by Anbu, and then Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was personally escorted to the front line to ensure that it was foolproof.
"Impossible! I have been working with Sakumo's team on the way, it is impossible for anyone to act on this information!"
Jiraiya also snatched the information from Tsunade and read it carefully from beginning to end.
His face is getting worse and worse.
"What, what's going on? How is the content on this different from what Sarutobi-teacher explained?"
Jiraiya's shoulders began to shake, looking at the information displayed above in disbelief.
"It seems that you have been tricked. Since there were no accidents on the way, there is only one possibility. You are in the dark part of Konoha, not a subordinate of Sarutobi-teacher."
Tsunade's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Jiraiya stiff and cold sweat on his face.
This is completely bad!
The task could not be completed, but secondly, if he accidentally hit the enemy's calculations and caused the Sakumo team to die in this task, then the problem is really big.
"No, I must save them back!"
Jiraiya was also sweating profusely and rushed out of the camp regardless of anything.
"Wait, Jiraiya, don't be impulsive, even if you rush over now—"
However, by the time Tsunade caught up with him, Jiraiya had disappeared into the night.
"This idiot, if he rushes to the rescue like this, he can easily be ambushed by the enemy!"
Tsunade cursed in a low voice but stared helplessly at the entrance of the camp.
