"How's that? Is this enough?"
Even through the mask, you can still feel a slight change in the breath. Shōji asked leisurely after taking back Kunai.
"See the captain, please forgive me for the previous offense!"
The thin Anbu immediately knelt down on one knee and said with a respectful tone.
"See Captain!"
The two Anbus on both sides also knelt down on one knee simultaneously and saluted.
"Haha, get up. From now on, we will all be our companions in the trenches. We don't need so many courtesy. Let's introduce ourselves first. It doesn't need much, just your code name and your special abilities!"
Shōji waved his hand slightly, came to the top position, looked at his three subordinates below, and said in a steady tone.
"Yes!"
Anbu's identity needs to be kept secret, but when facing his immediate superiors and teammates in the same team, it is generally impossible to keep it secret, nor will it be kept secret, especially in a small team. In order to better lead the team, the captain must understand the abilities and strengths of the three people in the team as much as possible. Only in this way can they reasonably allocate their responsibilities during the execution of the task.
After the three people responded simultaneously.
Let's start with the skinny Anbu who was the first to provoke. "My code name is Xing, and I am good at Feng Ninjutsu style. In previous missions, I usually played the role of frontal assist."
Then Anbu, who initially grew up on the left side and was the tallest and strongest, with a slightly deeper voice, said, "My code name is Kumagan. I am good at Earth Release. I am generally responsible for cover and side attacks."
Finally, she is the only female Anbu in the Shōji team. Her voice is slightly green, and judging from her exposed white skin, this female Anbu cannot be more than 20 years old at most. And from the first impression, this female Anbu has the strongest evil aura. Judging from this point alone.
This one may be the strongest among the three.
"My code name is Xi. I am good at Water Release and sword skills. I also have some research on enchantment."
And he is obviously the one with the best overall quality in the team.
'Sword skills? '
Shōji's eyes lit up slightly, and he thought to himself as he looked at Xi with a short knife on his back.
This female Anbu named Xi was also saying the word "sword skills" when Gods glanced behind Shōji. People who are equipped like this in Anbu are usually people who are good at sword skills!
If Shōji doesn't feel wrong.
At that moment.
This subordinate of his came with a look of eagerness in his eyes.
"Okay, let's stop here for the greetings. Today, the squad leader issued a mission. This mission was personally issued by Lord Hokage and requires special attention. The content of the mission is to find out the truth about the recent disappearance of people in the village. As mentioned above, the person behind the scenes is likely to be a spy from the four major villages. During the mission, you must be more cautious and meticulous!"
"No matter life or death! Do you understand?"
Ninjas are different from ordinary people.
Even if it is just a corpse, ninjas still have ways to detect the intelligence and information they want from the corpse. Of course, it is another matter to set up special sealing techniques in advance. It is better to catch them alive. However, in the battle of ninjas, let alone the battle between the same level, even if they are superior in strength, they may not necessarily be able to capture the opponent alive. Sometimes, in order to forcefully capture alive, it is easy to backfire and let the opponent escape, or even be counter-killed by an opponent weaker than themselves!
Therefore, unless there is really a very obvious gap in strength between each other, the word "capture alive" will not be used lightly in the battle between ninjas.
In particular, it is the task that Anbu needs to perform.
"This is the area we need to investigate. We must ensure that no valid information is lost. Do you understand!?"
Shōji passed the information he had received previously to his three subordinates to browse through it one by one. Before finally setting off, he ordered in the most serious tone.
"Yes, Captain!"
"Then, come out!"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
Soon after.
The group of people was led by Shōji.
They left this Konoha Anbu sub-base and rushed towards the easternmost corner of the village, which was the area assigned to them by their squad leader for Sixth Squad investigation. This was also Shōji's first mission in Anbu.
Konohagakure.
Although it is said to be a 'village'
But it actually covers an area comparable to the capital of Land of Fire.
Although it is completely inferior to those big cities in Shōji's previous life, Konoha, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, is already a giant 'city' in this world. Only in the central area where the population is concentrated, if special training grounds belonging to Konoha Ninja such as Forest of Death and the Eastern Forbidden Land are included, as well as remote areas where no one lives.
The area of 'Konoha' will expand several times!
At this moment, the area that the team led by Shōji needs to investigate is a dense forest located in the eastern area of Konoha. There is a long road from here to the bustling residential area of Konoha. Normally, ordinary people will not come to this place. Further to the edge, there is a giant city wall built by Konoha, as well as a barrier.
Those who come here are basically Konoha Ninja on patrol.
It was in this rarely visited area that four ninjas disappeared before and after. They were patrolling ninjas in the same team. Although these people were not very strong, the Konoha Ninja who could be arranged to patrol at night were basically Chunin, even if they were not counted. He is the best among Chunin, but under normal circumstances, even if one Jōnin can easily defeat four Chunin, it would be a bit scary to make four Chunin unable to send a signal.
This is also the largest number of people missing at one time in the past six months.
Precisely because there may be a very powerful real murderer hidden inside, and considering that Konoha cannot have more negative news now, Third Hokage did not dispatch a public investigation team, but let Anbu take over the incident.
"This is the area where the intelligence showed that the last traces of the patrols were left. Spread out the search and make sure not to miss any corner, but be careful not to separate too far apart. Once you have information, report it immediately. Remember!"
Come to the area where the missing person was last seen.
Shōji swept past, taking in the scene in front of his eyes.
He said this to his three subordinates in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
