"Ha ha ha, this time the ninjas from Konoha didn't even bring anyone from the Hyuga clan. What's the use of genjutsu? They'll still end up dying in traps, won't they?"
In the Yunyin Village's headquarters, a senior ninja boasted loudly to his subordinates,
"Genjutsu? What's the point of genjutsu if you can't even see my face? Show me something real!"
The next moment, the senior ninja suddenly grabbed his own neck, fell to the ground in pain, and began convulsing madly.
His teammates nearby exclaimed in shock,
"Druid-sama?!"
But before they could come to his aid, they felt their vision blur and were instantly dragged into a genjutsu space.
Hunt One and Hunt Two swiftly arrived with their team members and began assassinating the ninjas responsible for the traps in the Cloud Village base.
They had repeated this simple action more than a dozen times already.
Originally tasked with destroying traps and barriers ahead, the powerful genjutsu from Uchiha Shisui had rendered hundreds of enemy ninjas incapacitated in an instant.
With his help, the Hunter Squad, originally only tasked with destroying traps, also began treating, the ninjas guarding the traps, as traps themselves.
The process went smoothly to the point of being unbelievable, and they understood why the Mist Village's border, guarded by Shisui, hadn't seen a single ninja from the Mist Village.
Too strong!
Truly elite ninjas renowned throughout the ninja world!
Elite Jonin wasn't a separate position within the ninja village; it was just a nickname for distinguished ninjas that set them apart from regular Jonin. The village didn't categorize this position separately like they did with special Jonin.
In the eyes of the ninja world, these elite ninjas were qualified to become the Hokage due to their great strength, so they could also be called quasi-Hokage. Because there was only one Hokage, they were distinguished from regular Jonin to separate them, hence the term elite Jonin.
Usually, such Jonin were accompanied by nicknames, like "The Grim Reaper Zabuza," "The Copy Ninja Kakashi," "The Yellow Flash Minato," and "The Shunshin Shisui."
These renowned Jonin were feared on the battlefield and were considered elite Jonin.
However, before gaining the system and due to his lackluster performance, Toki was still just an ordinary Jonin.
Even if he had the strength of an elite Jonin now, he didn't have the title of elite Jonin.
Originally, the special Jonin had looked down on Shisui's strength a bit because of his performance. But now, one by one, they became as docile as quails.
Being able to become famous in the ninja world with Instant Teleportation wasn't just about having an awesome teleportation jutsu.
After Hunt One and the others finished assassinating Druid and his team, they breathed a sigh of relief.
He excitedly checked the ninja numbering on the headbands and said, "This is the last base. The guy in front of us must be the senior ninja in charge!"
Originally, these rookies were worried that their skills weren't enough to keep up on the battlefield. However, the experience they gained on the training ground seemed to be etched into their bones. They easily applied it, just like breathing.
They couldn't miss any clues along the way, and any traces of clues could be quickly identified and destroyed.
Not only was the Hunter Squad shocked by Shisui's strength, but Uchiha Shisui himself was also equally astonished as he looked at the Hunter Squad members who put away the headbands representing their achievements.
Too proficient!
If he didn't know these people from his clan, he would have suspected that they were imposters!
The last time they met, they were just a bunch of low-ranking temporary workers who could only mess around in Konoha.
But now, after half a year, they seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. Not only were they extremely proficient in physical techniques and transformation techniques, even their shunshin jutsu was fast.
He even saw his shadow in these people!
When he first graduated from the ninja school, his shunshin might not have been as fast as theirs.
What surprised Shisui even more was their mastery of trap techniques to the extreme.
They could easily detect and dismantle even the most well-hidden traps from the slightest traces.
As Shisui watched the returning Hunter Squad, he couldn't help but wonder, "When did our clan produce so many geniuses?"
He had no idea that the group before him was a specialized unit trained for nearly two years, combining his own and Uchiha Itachi's into their training.
Focusing on traps, barriers, with supplementary taijutsu and shunshin jutsu, they excelled at stealth, escape, and setting traps themselves. Their fighting style mirrored the approach of the Assassin class Servants from the Fate series.
"Shisui-sama, these are the captured forehead protectors,"
Hunter One bowed slightly to Uchiha Shisui and presented the sealed spoils of war.
In the ninja world, possessing immense strength always commanded respect. After all, the previous opponent was a jounin, even if not a particularly renowned one. But Uchiha Shisui's ability to instantly incapacitate him with a genjutsu from such a distance spoke volumes about his terrifying power. He was a mere hair's breadth away from Kage-level.Therefore, Hunter One and the others had no intention of stealing Shisui's credit.However, Shisui waved his hand and chuckled, "You guys keep them. These things have no use for me."Shisui's position was already a Jonin. Going further up, there was only one position available: Kage.
So these war merits weren't of much use to him. At most, they could exchange them for money, but it was better to give these achievements to his clan members to help them advance and gain more influence in the village.
After hearing Shisui's words, Hunt One excitedly took back the scroll.
This contained the war achievement of a jounin. In Konohagakure, becoming a jounin wasn't solely based on strength. Mission contributions and battle records also factored into the evaluation. However, a jounin's kill was enough to guarantee a promotion from special jounin to regular jounin. After all, this was practically the second-highest war achievement next only to the Kage.
At this time, Toki also followed the majority of the troops.
