Having heard the answer he wanted, Shimura Danzō nodded in satisfaction.
This Shimura Kiken has been with him for many years, and its greatest virtue is its obedience.
Although they were relatively weak at first, they were very useful!
Last time, his Kiken was with him.
He wouldn't impulsively arrange for someone to Wood Release.
This is a person who does things honestly and diligently.
I definitely won't interrupt like Heihachi!
Thinking about the price I paid for listening to advice.
He knew he shouldn't blame Heihachi, who was so loyal, since his advice back then was correct.
All the changes stemmed from that Wood Release technique that shouldn't have appeared!
However, whenever I see my one-eyed self in the mirror...
He would then recall everything that happened in the Senju Clan Compound.
Anger welled up inside him.
However, she had already died while escorting her younger siblings' children.
The surging anger could only be directed at the Wood Release technique.
After inquiring about the matters he was concerned about, Shimura Danzō slowly answered his subordinate's earlier question, "Now that they're all back, let's move on to the next step!"
"Have the seconded personnel handle the arrests, and the Root personnel handle the handover. Remember to select some talented individuals and send them to base beforehand."
After saying this, he took out a Scroll from his pocket, tossed it over, and continued, "This contains the handover location and the contact information for the people involved."
"Wolf, from now on, you'll personally lead the team when handing over duties to them!"
He took the Scroll and listened to the instructions given by the person behind the desk.
The middle-aged man wearing a white mask with blue patterns and a cat's face bowed crisply and emotionlessly, replying, "Yes!"
The sun gradually moved past its zenith and headed west.
The slightly warm weather also left with it.
At this time of daylight, as the temperature gradually decreases.
After a series of rustling sounds, the four travelers burst out of the dense forest and finally arrived at their mission destination.
Standing by the stream at the foot of the mountain.
After running continuously all afternoon, Uka Senju was feeling tired. She was catching her breath and adjusting her condition while comparing the differences between traveling in the morning and afternoon.
In the morning, there are occasional unexpected encounters with ninja beasts, wild animals, and other unexpected situations, as well as in the afternoon after lunch.
Under the teacher's guidance, they had never encountered any living creatures.
For more than five hours, all we could see was an endless forest.
If it weren't for the four people around him proving that this was the Shinobi World, he would have thought he had returned to the ancient wilderness!
However, after stopping by the stream and having a moment to clear my mind...
He then understood his teacher's intention.
The situation in the morning is what a normal Ninja mission would look like.
The afternoon is dedicated to special and secret missions.
In terms of levels, it's C, B: S, A.
The former doesn't require much concealment due to its content and level of danger.
However, the latter's level of danger and content necessitate maximizing the concealment of its movements.
The difference between the two is quite simple: it's about trying not to leave any traces!
However, the difficulties only become apparent during actual operation.
For example, when traveling in the afternoon, the teacher specifically instructed that no one should damage anything along the way.
In this respect, they need to pay attention to the force of their stomping and the choice of landing point for each jump.
That exhilarating feeling of clearing a path with a knife has completely disqualified me from using it!
However, the teacher taught so much in just one day.
It seems my guess is about to come true!
Just as Uka's mind was racing, she looked at the three students in front of her who looked quite exhausted.
Senju Tsukika stood to the side, her face neither flushed nor out of breath, and said with a faint smile, "I will begin preparing dinner in three minutes!"
After saying this, he ignored the student's complicated expression.
She went straight to the stream and sat down to rest.
Seeing the teacher's attitude, I didn't have time to think about anything else or summarize.
Looking at his two teammates on the left, who were in even worse shape than him.
Uka Senju quickly instructed, "Two minutes to refine Chakra, then rest."
"Once the time is up, immediately end the ascent. Exchange status updates along the way!"
The two were caught off guard by the teacher's words.
Upon hearing the instructions from the other key figure, he immediately sat cross-legged and began refining his Chakra.
I traveled all afternoon in a way that was even more tiring than in the morning.
Even Senju as physically gifted as Uka, known as the Thousand Hands, gets tired, let alone the two of them.
If it weren't for the fact that I sat on the Wood Release chair behind Uka during the journey and refined my Chakra once, I wouldn't have been able to.
They had already gone to bed.
However, there was still quite a bit of Chakra left.
However, the constant mental strain left them extremely exhausted.
Two minutes passed quickly.
Seeing the two people who had also stood up, Uka Senju scooped up the Ninja Dog from the ground and rushed towards the mountain.
A minute later, with the Ninja Dog's prompting and the teacher's afternoon training, he and his two companions managed to evade several sentries.
It was hidden high up outside a mountain village halfway up the mountain.
While looking down at the unobstructed view of the mountain stronghold below, he whispered to his two teammates beside him, "How are you two doing?"
"To be honest, don't be reckless at a time like this."
I was going to say that Kaun and Furin would be fine.
I paused involuntarily when I heard the last sentence.
In that instant of hesitation, Inuzuka Furin, having grasped the situation, spoke first, "Brow and Brown and White are in alright; we can engage in normal or moderately intense combat."
She's from the Inuzuka Clan, and her daily training load is no less than today's.
Although her Chakra reserves are similar to Aburame's, she is, after all, Ninja specializing in Taijutsu.
If it weren't for the teacher's extra request to hurry in the afternoon, and the time it took to recover from the checkpoint earlier.
Give her a few more minutes to rest and relieve her tension.
She can handle high-intensity combat.
Someone took the lead and stopped being so competitive.
Having calmed down, Aburame Kaun replied softly, "My condition is so-so. I can handle normal combat, but I need to rest a bit more for more intense battles."
This is his current situation.
Although she felt she was different from the Aburame in her Clan who only used Secret Technique from the rear.
But after all, the Clan's specialty isn't physical.
The difference is significant even in basic aspects like secret medicine and training.
Therefore, at this point, his condition was far inferior to that of his two teammates.
Upon hearing about the situation of her two teammates, Uka Senju nodded and began to arrange the operation. " Kaun, first scout out the interior of the stronghold, and after comparing it with the intelligence, go and block the road up the mountain."
" Furin, you're taking the Ninja Dog to take care of the outer sentries, and then you're going to block the road down the mountain."
" Furin, remember to make your move in two minutes. If either of you encounter any unexpected situations, remember to signal immediately. I will disengage from the battle and rush over as soon as possible."
"Remember, the mission objective is to eliminate all targets, so no matter who comes from either side, you cannot release any targets!"
"Yes!" After responding softly, Aburame Kaun released Mole downwards to begin scouting the situation.
