S-Rank Mission

The quiet time is also short.

Early on the morning of the third day, as soon as Kazuya arrived at the Anbu base, a very imposing ninja stopped him at the entrance.

"Captain Kazuya!" the ninja said solemnly. "Call your team. There is an S-rank mission, and we will start soon!"

The person who came was the captain of Anbu's first unit, the eldest son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke. He was also the father of Konohamaru, extremely skilled in Fire Style and Earth Style, and a powerful Elite Jōnin. According to rumors, his combat power was by no means inferior to that of the first Anbu under the Third Hokage!

"OK," Kazuya nodded.

In the next moment, he disappeared instantly.

In the office, Kazuya had already put on Anbu's equipment and wore a white mask on his face.

"Kurenai!" he called out. "Go and gather the fifth team, the sixth team, the seventh team, and the eighth team!"

"Yes, Captain Kazuya," Kurenai responded quickly and went down to gather the teams. When it came to business, Kazuya-kun would become her immediate boss!

Soon, on the training ground, the two reorganized Anbu squads were assembled. From the first to the eighth squads, all were present. Except for Yuhi Kurenai's seventh team, the other teams consisted of four people each.

The first sub-captain, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and the second division captain, Kazuya, stood in front of 31 Anbu ninjas. The atmosphere was very dignified.

"S-rank mission!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke said in a deep voice. "There are elite teams from Kirigakure and Cloud Shinobi Village sneaking into the Land of Fire. Our task is to find them and repel them! When fighting, you have to give it your all, understand?"

"Clear!" a group of Anbu ninjas responded.

"Captain Kazuya, do you have anything to add?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked sideways.

"Well... No," Kazuya shook his head. At this moment, the expression on his face was a little empty, but no one would notice through the mask.

"A lot of Chakra!" Kazuya sighed inwardly. His attention was focused on the golden lights.

[You picked up 50 combat experience points]

[You picked up 20 points of Fire Style talent]

[You picked up 20 Earth Style talents]

[You picked up 50 points of Chakra]

[You picked up 40 points of Chakra]

...

So much golden light! Eight squads of Anbu ninjas, plus Elite Jōnin Sarutobi Shinnosuke, emitted a total of 500 points of Chakra. Coupled with the 5000 Chakra points he picked up two days ago, Kazuya's Chakra amount now stood at:

[Chakra: lv4 (9260/100,000)]

With more than 9000 points! With more than 90,000 points of Chakra, Kazuya's level could directly break through from Kage-level to Super Shadow!

After a while, all the Anbu captains left the Anbu base with Kazuya and Sarutobi Shinnosuke. A group of people hurried to the gate of the village.

"Mist Shinobi and Cloud Shinobi's elite squad..." Kazuya thought, with a thoughtful expression on his face. "Is this the Hyuga Hizashi incident about to start?"

In the original plot, the ninja of Cloud Shinobi Village kidnapped Hinata, but was killed by the head of the Hyuga clan in a few moves. Then Cloud Shinobi Village used this to put pressure on Konoha to hand over the life of Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the Hyuga branch house, to calm things down.

Konoha, the victor, being threatened by the defeated Cloud Shinobi! This sounds outrageous. Moreover, even though the Fourth Hokage had passed away, Sannin's Orochimaru and Jiraiya were still in the village, and there were many top-level combat forces. Being threatened by Cloud Shinobi Village must mean they had some leverage over Konoha. Otherwise, an old fox like the Third Hokage would never give in when he is strong!

What kind of weakness would make Konoha, which was on the stronger side, give in? Kazuya felt at a loss with too little relevant information to figure it out.

At this time, a group of Anbu left the village gate, ready to head north.

However, at the gate of the village, a white-haired man suddenly appeared.

"That is..."

"Jiraiya!?" Kazuya's eyes flashed.

[You picked up 100 points of Chakra]

[You picked up 100 points of Chakra]

[You picked up 50 battle experience points]

As soon as they met, three clusters of golden light flew over. As expected of the Toad Sage in legend, the quality of the golden light he emitted was almost the same as that of the Third Hokage!

"Master Jiraiya!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped in his tracks.

"Last night, the old man told me about the mission, and I will set off with you," Jiraiya said solemnly.

"Yes, Master Jiraiya!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke responded with a solemn voice. His expression also became a little heavy. Even Lord Jiraiya had been dispatched. It seemed that the ninjas invading from Cloud Shinobi and Mist Shinobi were very powerful.

The other Anbu also felt the gravity of the situation. Two reorganized detachments, plus Master Jiraiya, meant they would face an extremely formidable enemy.

"There's another big prize coming!" Kazuya was excited. Even Toad Sage was here, and there must be Kage-level ninjas on the opposite side. If he was lucky this time, he would definitely be able to pick up high-quality attributes. Maybe his strength could have a great breakthrough!

"Set off!"

"Yes!" a group of Anbu ninjas quickly disappeared in place.

"Strange..." Jiraiya glanced at Kazuya, a little surprised. "What a strong Chakra. When did Anbu have such a powerful ninja?"
