Konoha 38, January 3, morning, Konoha gate.
When Akaseki arrived, Yakushi Nonō and a ninja who looked to be in his thirties, with blond hair and a square face, were already waiting at the door.
"Akaseki Captain."
Seeing Akaseki coming, the two of them greeted him, and Akaseki nodded reservedly.
Nonō:----
Then Akaseki took a few more glances at the blond square-faced ninja - he didn't recognize it, but he thought it was the "elephant" from Anbu, but because it was not Anbu's mission now, he was not wearing a mask.
"This is my ninja certificate--you can always call me Guan Ze." Guan Ze said proactively.
Akaseki checked the documents and confirmed his identity.
Although because he joined Anbu, only the Anbu code "Elephant" is written on his ninja certificate, and the mission records are also hidden, the identity can indeed be confirmed from the anti-counterfeiting Cursed Seal Formula on the certificate.
This "Guan Ze" is definitely not his real name. It is just the title "Xiang", which is the code name within Anbu. He will also use a pseudonym when performing other tasks.
"Guan Ze----Let's talk as we walk." Akaseki said, taking Guan Ze and Nonō first and heading west.
Sky Ninja Village is currently floating in the territory of Land of Wind. It normally takes seven days to get there. The mission time limit for Konoha is ten days. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later -
Because I am reporting to Jiancheng Clan Leader.
"Guan Ze, let me test you." Akaseki said in a captain-like manner, "Do you know what Nonō and I are good at?"
If you are cooperating with ordinary ninjas, Akaseki would be a bit embarrassed to ask this, but----
As Anbu, Akaseki believes that he must know!
"Akaseki Captain Ninja Academy graduated at the age of twelve. In the same year Chunin, and in the following year Jonin, he led the A-level team 3 times and served as the main A-level team 11 times. times, Combination Technique, Sharingan Genjutsu who are good at five escapes, Ninja Beast who can channel psychic energy and is good at sealing, and Ninja Beast who can heal trauma----"
Guan Ze told Akaseki's basic information.
As for "Susanoo"----
Konoha doesn't know much about it. At best, there are speculations. This kind of information is not something ordinary Anbu would know.
As for Yakushi Nonō, Guan Ze, I also know it very well, and even listed in detail Medical Ninjutsu that Yakushi Nonō knows----
"Well, that's right, Nonō, I'll test you too - do you know Guan Ze Jonin?" Akaseki turned to Nonō and asked.
"Guan Ze Jonin is from the Yamanaka Clan. He is good at collecting and analyzing intelligence, and - he has a lot of knowledge and can quickly analyze the enemy's capabilities." Nonō said calmly.
Sure enough----
Akaseki looked at Guan Ze's little yellow hair--it was indeed Yamanaka Clan.
It is said that Yamanaka Clan, as well as the memory-assisted Secret Technique, can allow users to record a large amount of information, but not all clan members can learn it--since Nonō said so, Akaseki estimates that Guan Ze is the Yamanaka clan member who has learned this Secret Technique.
From this point of view, Hiruzen Sarutobi assigned Guan Ze to assist Uchiha Clan in its actions, which also had usage considerations. Sky Ninja Village's biggest "reliance" now is that Konoha does not understand it.
This little Ninja Village who suddenly rose up is full of mysteries and his methods are also very strange.
Having a "jack of all trades" at this time will indeed be helpful in the task.
"Well, it seems Nonō you know Anbu very well!" Akaseki nodded in praise and looked at Guan Ze.
Nonō:----
"Guan Ze, you also know Root very well!" Akaseki said to Nonō again.
Guan Ze:----
"I feel relieved to see you understand each other so well when we work together for the first time." Akaseki said seriously.
Nonō, Guan Ze:----
Why are these words so awkward?
It's as if we are specifically collecting information about each other!
Although this is indeed the case, don't say that——
Afterwards, along the way, Akaseki marched in a hurry as usual.
Fortunately for Nonō, I have become accustomed to Akaseki being in a hurry every time he leads a team, and as a member of Root, he is already very good at this kind of squeezing rush. In the past training, the endurance training was more than ten times that of the Ninja Academy students of the same age, and those who could not meet the standards were "eliminated"!
But Guan Ze suffered more----
Although Yamanaka Clan is a rare Shinobi Clan with dual talents of "Yin Style" and "Yang Style", there are many Chunin and in the clan Jonin, both have the talents of Yin Style and Yang Style, but Guan Ze only has the talent of Yin Style, and is a little weaker in physical fitness. It is a bit too much to catch up for a day.
In the evening, when he finally rested, Guan Ze suggested. "Captain Akaseki, if we are in such a hurry, if there is an enemy attack, we may not be able to hold on——"
"Comrades on the front line are all looking forward to it. We are trying to compress the seven-day journey to five days. Lord Hokage said that Sky Ninja Village will be solved within a month, so we will take Sky Ninja Village in ten days!" Akaseki encouraged.
Guan Ze:----
Nonō on the side hesitated again and again, but finally reminded, "Akaseki----Captain, in fact, many Konoha ninjas have said privately that when Uchiha Clan was the team leader, he was always on the road and squeezing everyone's rest time to improve their results----"
Nonō heard this from Master Danzo. After all, Nonō has only worked with Akaseki and Uchiha Clan.
When Danzo talked about this, he told them to deepen everyone's impression of the Uchiha Clan if they had the opportunity - but not as a member of Root!
Therefore, Nonō hesitated and reminded Akaseki-Since Mr. Danzo said, don't use your identity as a member of Root----then my identity, Both Guan Ze and Akaseki know it, so of course they can't "deepen Uchiha Clan's bad image". Then----Danzo didn't say anything, so he shouldn't remind Uchiha Clan at this time, right?
Akaseki heard Nonō say this, and immediately fell into thinking------
As the saying goes, I examine myself three times a day----
"Who is slandering us Uchiha Clan like this? What is their purpose? Is there anyone behind it?" Akaseki said angrily.
Then Akaseki looked at Nonō with an expression of "Do you think so too?"
Nonō:----
"Guan Ze Jonin, I now appoint you as the vice-captain!" Akaseki waved his hand.
Guan Ze, Nonō:----
Regarding Akaseki's superficial "suppression", not to mention Nonō was speechless, Guan Ze couldn't stand it for a moment - three people, they were just a temporary team on the way before reporting, and you also appointed a vice-captain? Just to control her as a team member, right?
Nonō also understood that it is precisely because some shortcomings of the Uchiha Clan cannot be corrected, so these are their "weaknesses"----
If Uchiha Clan didn't have these "weaknesses", Root or even Senju Clan would have nothing to do!
"Beware of the enemy. Don't worry. I will be responsible for keeping watch. You guys have a good rest. This journey is nothing to me." Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
And after hearing what Captain Akaseki said, Guan Ze couldn't say anything else.
Konoha 38, at noon on January 8, Akaseki arrived at the temporary base of "Special Countermeasure Force" composed of the Uchiha Clan in six and a half days.
It's not that Akaseki is running slow, but --- Jiancheng Clan Leader and the others are tracking the floating position of Sky Ninja Village in real time, so the final destination, compared with the position when the mission was accepted, deviates more seriously than Akaseki imagined. Looking at this section of Sky Ninja Village--
Time is running out, I guess I want to get rid of the Uchiha Clan's pursuit!
In other words, Akaseki is Uchiha Clan. Only by using the mark Secret Technique of Sharingan within the family can we find it all the way here.
"Akaseki, you are finally here - Sealing Technique is waiting for you!" While Jiancheng looked at Akaseki, he also glanced at the two people behind him.
It's not that Uchiha Clan doesn't have other people who can Sealing Technique, but firstly it's a strength issue, and secondly - Jiancheng suspects that Sage of Six Paths's seal is broken. If so, it's necessary to wait for Akaseki who owns "Rashomon" to arrive, but of course you can't say that in front of outsiders.
"Clan Leader, this is Lord Hokage sent to assist us in our operation." Akaseki said, and wanted to introduce Jiancheng.
"Well, I heard Lord Hokage say it." Jiancheng nodded without sincerity - in front of outsiders, he still shouted "Lord Hokage" properly.
"Clan Leader, Sky Ninja Village's fortress——is that one?" Akaseki said, looking at a mountain peak in the distance.
There are obviously man-made structures on the top of the mountain. At the same time, many Uchiha Clan tribesmen were taking turns watching the "top of the mountain". In addition to what they heard about "Sky Ninja Village" before, Akaseki certainly had some guesses.
"That's right, it's parked there." Jiancheng nodded.
Now Konoha's response to this thing is to closely track it, give timely warnings, and intercept the flying ninjas!
"Sky Ninja Village" was just a little-known Ninja Village before, and there were no experts. At this time, it was the kind of flying ninja that caused a headache.
"That kind of flying ninja tool is not really flying. It's just that other ninjas - most of them don't have the means to target high-altitude targets. This makes Konoha vulnerable when faced with Sky Ninja's attacks!" Jiancheng said this with some arrogance.
Yes, Jiancheng places so much emphasis on "other ninjas", naturally Uchiha Clan has ways to deal with it.
It is precisely because of this that after Jiancheng proposed that Special Countermeasure Force be formed from the Uchiha Clan, both the commander Hatake Sakumo at the front and the Hokage Building in the village immediately supported it.
"Master Jiancheng, why don't you see Hyuga Clan's ninja?" Guan Ze looked at the on-site configuration and asked in confusion.
As far as he knew, it was true that Special Countermeasure Force was formed by the Uchiha Clan, but it was only right that Jonin of the Hyuga Clan joined in - after all, "Byakugan" could be tracked from a long distance and was very convenient.
No matter how much Uchiha Clan refuses to admit it, "Sharingan" is inferior to "Byakugan" in terms of static vision.
But----
"Hyuga's ninja is too arrogant and has already left." Jiancheng said matter-of-factly.
Akaseki You will understand as soon as you hear this----
It must be Clan Leader who made them angry on purpose!
After all, it may be related to Sage of Six Paths's reward. Jiancheng Clan Leader certainly does not want other ninjas to get involved, especially Shinobi Clan who claims to be a descendant of Ninshu.
As for the Hyuga Clan?
There are so many Hyuga jokes, just a few words can make you angry----
As for popularity?
Just think of me as Uchiha Clan, I have never had those!
