Chapter 85 Super S-Rank Secret Mission: Instantly Killing Fifty-Five Sand Ninja
It was already evening when the Sand Ninja passed the information to Chiyo.
Let's turn back time to the afternoon.
Konoha, the ninja academy, which is already on holiday, should be deserted.
But at this moment, a certain classroom was full of people.
They weren't students who hadn't graduated yet, but rather mostly all-around Jonin who wore green vests.
The remaining people who don't wear vests are also all-around Jonin, they just don't like wearing vests, like Gojo Yoru.
For example, the three legendary Konoha Sannin, who took time out of their busy schedules to attend the Jonin meeting, were unusually not wearing vests or combat armor today.
On the platform, Hiruzen Sarutobi and two elders sat at a long table, discussing various topics with the Jonin.
The vast majority of these issues are related to war.
"I have a proposal—"
As another topic came to a close, Tsunade suddenly stood up and, under everyone's gaze, said, "I hope to reform the current training system of the Ninja Academy."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed.
Wearing the Hokage's hat, Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly, "Please state your thoughts, Junin Tsunade."
"I hope the Ninja Academy can reduce some unnecessary courses and increase some elective courses, so that every student can quickly learn their own chakra nature, cultivate and discover their talents based on their interests, and form clubs so that they can have common topics after class, freely discuss, learn from each other, and compete to grow."
Tsunade slowly recounted the reform ideas she had finally perfected over the past few months, after consulting with Gojo Yoru on numerous occasions.
The Jonin on the field, who came from an ordinary background and only got to sit here through talent and hard work, had increasingly bright eyes.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with surprise, as if they were seeing their childhood friend for the first time.
What a forward-thinking idea! It also gives students from ordinary families and ninja families a chance to get closer to the ninja clan.
Only the Jonin, who came from ninja clans and represented their clan leaders at this meeting, had rather unpleasant expressions.
If Tsunade weren't the granddaughter of the First Hokage and the representative of the Senju of the Forest, they would definitely hold a grudge against her.
Tsunade's proposed elective course reform was practically an attempt to break the ninja clan's departmental monopoly.
These ninja clans have been able to maintain control over important positions in these departments thanks to their bloodline limits and secret techniques—a unique skill they are born with.
Only a few geniuses among the common people are qualified to squeeze into this circle.
Now, Tsunade wants to help ordinary people discover their talents and cultivate their skills at the Ninja Academy.
It may not affect the status of these ninja clans in the short term, but it's uncertain in the long term.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Tsunade, his face expressionless, but his heart was filled with surprise.
Tsunade's proposal was a revelation to him.
Although this reform will also affect Hiruzen Sarutobi and the rule of the Konoha elders and clans, it will further solidify his position as Hokage and allow Konoha's commoner ninjas to rise rapidly.
He could also place some exceptionally talented individuals into certain departments, gradually forming factions and diminishing the power of the ninja clans.
If another Ninja World War breaks out, he won't have to worry about those ninja clans anymore.
Hiruzen Sarutobi made a decision instantly.
But on the surface, his expression and eyes remained unchanged.
After Tsunade finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced around the classroom and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"I agree with Lady Tsunade's proposal."
A young man wearing a green vest and with long silver-white hair stood up and spoke.
As the first person to agree, he successfully caught Tsunade's attention.
But she only glanced at him, gave him a smile, and then looked away.
No one was more confident in this proposal than her, especially on this occasion. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to protect the interests of the ninja clan, he couldn't stop her at all.
I second that.
I second that.
I agree.
"6
Including Jiraiya and Orochimaru, the Jonin all raised their hands to vote.
Today's Jonin meeting mainly discussed matters related to the war; Tsunade's proposal was purely unexpected.
The clan leaders of those ninja clans who did not participate in the war only sent a representative jonin.
There are only a few ninja clans in Konoha, and the number of Jonin they hold barely exceeds double digits.
Because the family representatives of the Konoha Elder Council were all in front of that long table.
The rest of the Jonin came from ordinary families or ninja families.
They were all very aware of how difficult their journey had been, and that their rise to the top ranks of Konoha was entirely due to talent and luck.
However, their talent does not guarantee that their descendants will also be talented.
If Tsunade's proposal is passed, their descendants will benefit. How could these Jonin possibly oppose it?
This is an overwhelming victory!
Seeing that the vast majority of Jonin had voted in favor, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally smiled: "Since everyone has chosen to agree, I will also take your opinions into consideration and reform the Ninja Academy's training system, and then implement it as soon as possible."
"Does anyone have any other topics or proposals?"
By the time the Jonin meeting ended, it was already dusk.
The Jonin walked out of the Ninja Academy as if they were leaving school.
Some of the Jonin did not linger in the village, preparing to return to the border today.
The three legendary Konoha ninja, acting as commanders, walked slowly towards the izakaya.
This attitude is completely different from what it was a few months ago.
Because—Tsunade has already developed the formula for an antidote.
During these months of probing and tug-of-war, Konoha has established several production lines and produced a large quantity of antidotes.
Although it cannot yet cover all three fronts, the front responsible for confronting the Land of Rain has already ensured that each person has several bottles of antidote.
Unless Hanzo the Salamander moves to other fronts and allies with the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, or fights against both of these countries and the Land of Fire simultaneously, his attack on border bases no longer carries the near-invincible strategic deterrent he had a few months ago.
The war has lasted for more than eight months since the beginning of the year.
Thanks to the efforts of the reconnaissance team and the Anbu, the fact that it takes five minutes for the salamander to fill with poison gas is no longer a secret known only to Sunagakure.
Hanzo the Salamander has lost the power to fight against a single nation.
The three legendary Konoha ninjas, who no longer needed to flee at the sight of this demigod of the ninja world, could finally breathe a sigh of relief and hand over the task of maintaining the border base to the command team.
That's why I came back to attend the Jonin meeting.
"Where's that kid, Ye?"
On their way to the izakaya, the three legendary Konoha ninjas happened to pass by Gojo Yoru's house.
Tsunade glanced at the small house, which was dark and devoid of chakra fluctuations. She had originally intended to invite him to dinner to celebrate, but then looked at Orochimaru beside her.
If you look closely, you'll notice that Tsunade's appearance has changed slightly compared to a few months ago.
A few months ago, Tsunade was either wearing combat armor that was even thicker than her green vest, or she was only wearing a white shirt.
Her long, light yellow hair was often styled into a large ponytail.
Now, Tsunade is still wearing a white shirt, but she has put on a dark blue cardigan over it, and her hairstyle has changed to long, straight hair.
The way Gojo Yoru is called has changed from the original Gojo-kun to Yoru-kun, and now it's called Yoru, just like Orochimaru.
Clearly, after several months of seeking advice, the two had become acquaintances.
However, the biggest change is that a faint blue-purple diamond-shaped mark has appeared on Tsunade's forehead, which is the rudimentary form of the Yin Seal that is about to be completed.
It was only in the last few months, with the advice and help of Gojou Yoru, that Tsunade began to train in the Yin Seal.
In less than four months, thanks to the Senju clan's vast chakra, the knowledge of the medical master, and the experience provided by Gojo Yoru, Tsunade surpassed Gojo Yoru's efforts of a year.
Once Tsunade has fully mastered the Yin Seal, her appearance will remain frozen for decades, capturing the lingering charm of youth and the budding maturity of womanhood—the most beautiful stage of a woman's life.
Because—in the original story, Tsunade hadn't even mastered the Yin Seal by the end of the Second Shinobi World War.
By the time she completes her cultivation, she will have long passed her golden bloom period.
Upon hearing Tsunade's question, Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "He sent us back a few days ago and then went to carry out a secret mission."
"What mission?"
Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru with curiosity.
"I already said it's a secret, how would I know?" Orochimaru was unusually speechless, but gave a cryptic answer: "Sarutobi-sensei did hint that if this mission is perfectly successful, it will be a Super S-rank mission, allowing him to exchange for a technique in the Book of Sealing or the Forbidden Technique Library. If it fails, it will just be a very ordinary B-rank mission."
"A super S-class mission?"
Both of them stared wide-eyed. Jiraiya said incredulously, "He's just a special Jonin, and Sarutobi-sensei is sending him on a mission of this level? Could it be that he wants him to infiltrate a major ninja village to assassinate the Five Kage, or perhaps assassinate a Jinchuriki and the commander?"
Just like how S-rank ninjutsu are generally recognized as the highest-level ninjutsu, techniques like Flying Thunder God Technique and Spirit Transformation Technique are still considered high-level ninjutsu.
It is also known as a super S-rank ninjutsu.
S-rank missions also include missions that are still classified as S-rank, but are actually referred to as "super S-rank" missions.
These types of missions are more dangerous than S-rank missions. They can not only endanger the lives of the executors, but also potentially harm the ninja village and even the entire country. Usually, only the Five Kage and the candidates for Five Kage have the ability to carry out and complete them.
"I've already said, only a perfect success counts as a Super S-rank mission. It's not as serious as you're making it out to be." Orochimaru was full of confidence in Gojo Yoru. "Besides, given his abilities and personality, are you really worried he'll get into trouble?"
"Haha—that's true. That kid is so cautious; he would never touch anything he's not sure he can do."
Jiraiya scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily.
Tsunade had her hands in her coat pockets, a beautiful smile on her face.
It was in the early hours of the morning.
The land of rain remains shrouded in dark clouds, with rain falling in many areas.
In the neighboring land of rivers, however, it was deep and quiet at night, and even the animals in the forest had fallen asleep.
-
Today is August 16th, and the full moon hangs high in the sky.
The moonlight, like a silvery curtain, spread over the lush vegetation and mountains.
Whoosh whoosh————
A series of black afterimages flew through the mountains.
The sound of it breaking through the air was barely audible, and its chakra control was exceptionally astonishing, like a ghost entering the darkness.
After an unknown period of time, these figures gradually disappeared into the darkness, as if they had used an invisibility spell to hide, or as if they had vanished into thin air.
Inside a certain mountain, there is a man-made cave, which is now illuminated by dim lights.
Inside stood more than fifty ninjas dressed in ANBU uniforms and wearing animal masks; it was unclear whether they were genuine ANBU members or imposters.
In the middle of these dark areas was Ebizo, who was completely undisguised.
With the return of all the members of the Dark Guard, a member who was clearly the captain knelt down on one knee and reported: "Lord Ebizo, after three hours of investigation, we can confirm that there are no traces of man-made caves or mining areas in the mountains and underground within a radius of twenty kilometers in that area."
"No one within twenty kilometers?" Ebizo's expression finally changed, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Could it be that some members of the Hyuga clan have a range of vision that has exceeded the limits reported in the intelligence, allowing them to see beyond two thousand kilometers? Or is it really just a coincidence?"
The ninjas he brought were the cream of the crop.
He has cultivated undercover agents over many years, high-level combatants who have not yet made a move in the war and whose intelligence has not yet been exposed, and members of the Dark Guard directly under the Kazekage.
Each person possesses either formidable combat power or unique abilities, and their expertise is among the best in their respective fields.
When they investigated together, even experts in world destruction and masters of earth-flipping techniques, as well as those who could use the through-throw technique, were nowhere to hide.
If even they can't find a problem, then there really isn't one.
The fewer problems there were, the more suspicious Ebizo became.
So, being cautious, he thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Shinta, Hiko, you two use Earth Instantaneous Body to sneak in there, and then use Shadow Clone Technique to open the two super-large scrolls and check if there are any strategic materials inside, or if there is any Flying Thunder God Technique."
"If there are no problems, bring those two reels back and let us know."
"During this process, remember not to expose your true forms, and especially not to make contact with that team. Their aura may have already been marked, and they might not even be able to be isolated by the barrier."
Ebizo thought of the Aburame clan.
That race possesses an endangered insect called the Microfragrant Insect, which has a olfactory ability a thousand times stronger than that of a ninja dog, enabling it to track any specific gaseous substance it touches.
If Mu Dan had used that kind of insect, he would have definitely already captured the ninja squad's qi, and even from twenty kilometers away, he would have been able to know their location.
"Yes."
The ANBU member named Shinta Kazuhiko bowed respectfully before slowly disappearing into the ground.
Once their heads had completely disappeared from the ground, the dark figures sitting cross-legged in the four corners of the cave, maintaining the mercury seal hand gesture, suddenly changed their hand gestures, returning to normal in less than a second.
After about an hour and a half, one of the secret agents maintaining the Eternal Boundary suddenly spoke up: "Lord Ebizo, they've returned."
"How is it?"
"The aura and intensity of the chakra have not changed; it is Shinta Kazuhiko's true form."
"Let them in."
"Yes."
As the hand seals changed again, Shinta Kazuhiko's figure quickly emerged from the ground.
Behind them, hanging from their waists, was an enormous scroll that stood upright, almost as tall as them.
Shinta said excitedly, "Lord Ebizo, the scroll does indeed contain strategic materials. According to the inspection by the Shadow Assassin clone, none of the materials inside contain the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Upon hearing this, Ebizo couldn't help but smile: "Very good—"
Before he could utter the words of his request, a false voice entered his ears.
"That's really good. I didn't expect it to be you, you old schemer!"
The pupils instinctively began to contract, shrinking towards the size of a pinhole.
His expression changed from joy to fear.
But whether it was the change in his pupils or his expression, Chen Cheng was so slow.
It's like time-space freeze.
Then, in Ebizo's field of vision, the cave, barely illuminated by the dim light, suddenly revealed black lines with faint traces of black electric arcs around it.
These lines, like electric arcs, curved and spread outwards.
It's like an artist holding a pencil and drawing barely legible lines on a static cartoon character.
However, black electric arc effects were added around these wave lines.
The lines stretched to the edge of Ebizo's field of vision, which was also the end of one side of the cave, before stopping.
There, a figure had appeared out of nowhere, surrounded by wisps of black electricity, holding a katana in his hand, both the hilt and the blade of which were black.
The katana was also surrounded by black arcs of electricity, as if it were covered by a black lightning nature transformation.
The figure turned around and faced Ebizo.
The turning speed was normal, and Ebizo's vision began to tilt to the upper right, while at the same time being invaded by darkness.
Before his vision began to blur and be swallowed by darkness, Ebizo saw the dark areas on the upper right and lower sides. The places where the black lines had just been drawn were now detached from their bodies, their faces smooth and straight, with no blood spurting out.
It was as if—not that the body was physically severed, but rather that it was disintegrated by the power of rules.
Before his consciousness completely faded, Ebizo didn't think of his sister, but rather experienced a sudden realization.
It turns out—it wasn't that the time-space frozen mercury was used, but rather that his nerve reflexes were too slow, while the other party was too fast, resulting in him being torn to pieces before his expression could even change.
Like him, so were the shadowy figures around him.
Before he could think about or analyze what that power was, Ebizo's soul went to the Pure Land.
Like him were fifty members of the Dark Guard, standing in two rows around him, occupying most of the cave's space.
Looking at Lord Ebizo and his companions, who were announcing good news one second and then turned into pieces the next, the four ANBU members responsible for maintaining the SKU World, sitting cross-legged in the four corners of the cave, were the only ones present who could change their expressions.
However, their reaction was not very good either.
Or perhaps they were simply terrified.
When the four kunai magnified in their eyes, they finally came to their senses, but it was too late.
Swah—
A black flash, and a wisp of black electricity, disappeared in an instant.
The heads of the four ANBU members fell to the ground almost simultaneously, rolling several times.
If you remove their masks, you'll find that their expressions are still those of shock.
Looking at the mangled corpses scattered on the ground, Gojou Yoru gripped his chakra blade, which remained spotless, and a smile of excitement spread across his face. Coupled with the black arcs of electricity around him, it resembled the savage grin of a murderer.
"Damn, this is awesome! I knew I'd wasted my time waiting all day!"
Gojo Yoru suddenly swore and swung the chakra blade in his hand a few times.
If it weren't for the mangled corpses scattered all over the ground, he would have loved to dance around in circles to release his overwhelming emotions.
There was no way around it, he was having too much fun chopping!
Using dimensional shavings in a cramped space packed with people is something that can only be done by chance.
Since the development of Dimensional Debt, Gojo Yoru has dreamt of it countless times, and now the dream has finally become a reality.
Moreover, these guys were all wearing animal masks, seemingly powerful members of the Dark Side, making their lineup even more impressive than Gojo Yoru's Dream.
Having secretly followed the two ANBU members using the Intangibility and Earth Instantaneous Body Techniques, and confirming that they were all experts, Gojo Yoru did not hesitate at all. He immediately released the Space-Time Yin Seal, not only using Intangibility and Dimensional Instantaneous Body Techniques, but also combining Space-Time Chakra with Lightning Release Chakra, pushing Mule's speed to the extreme.
The thrill of unleashing one's full power and instantly annihilating a group of powerful individuals made Ryougo Yoru tremble with excitement.
Especially since she had been following that special Jonin squad since daytime, from the Land of Fire to the Land of Rivers, if it weren't for those supplies being marked, she wouldn't have dared to be so bold. Before setting off, she told Sarutobi Hiyori about her plan and received his agreement and encouragement, as well as the assurance that she could request support at any time and minimize losses even in the event of an accident.
Even so, it still put considerable pressure on Gojo Yoru.
Fortunately, the plan went very smoothly, and the team eventually stored all the supplies in the secret base.
During the stakeout, Gojo Yoru teleported away countless times to replenish his space-time chakra, his emotions constantly building up.
Now, this ultimate strike, along with the pent-up emotions of the five nights, unleashed double the pleasure. Even the affairs between men and women from the previous life seemed insignificant in comparison.
