The meeting with the Dark 'Root' ninja took less than ten minutes to finish.

After that, these people secretly hibernate again, and it is estimated that only when the official action is taken, they will come to meet again to confirm the readiness of both sides.

Coming to a hidden grass, the three of them sat down in a circle.

"Then again, what kind of organization is the 'root' of the shadows? Is there such an organization in the shadows directly under the Hokage? ”

The Hokage is directly under the dark department, and a special course is set up in the textbooks of the ninja school, the main reason is to prevent future ninjas from mistaking the dark part of their village for the enemy, in order to avoid this embarrassing situation, so all the ninjas of Konoha have an understanding of this organization.

The ninjas who can join the dark department are all masters, and the main number of members of the dark department is seventy people, divided into four detachments, each detachment has four squads, and the four detachments have a total of sixteen squad leaders.

And the strength of each squad leader is at least a special level.

Used to keep the Hokage safe, as well as carrying out various high-risk confidential missions, it can be said that he is a ninja who protects Konoha in the dark.

However, Shiraishi had never heard of the Dark Root, so he became suspicious of the identity of those ninjas.

Ayane also shook her head, the affairs of the dark department were originally confidential, and most ninjas knew that there was such an organization, as well as the composition and number of troops.

As for who joins it, and what the ninjas of the shadows are good at, these are all secrets.

Liuli frowned slightly, clasped his hands to his chest, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "I have heard the elders of the clan say about the 'root' of the dark department before, it is said that it is the direct subordinate force of another high-level of the Thousand Hands Department, this force is deeper hidden than the ordinary dark department, and the tasks it does are even more disgraceful. They pursued a strategy of 'rather kill the wrong than let go', silently protecting Konoha in the dark. ”

"Pursue a strategy of preferring to kill mistakes rather than let them go? Would Hokage-sama acquiesce in such a thing? ”

Shiraishi wondered.

If this kind of thing is revealed, it will deal a huge blow to the reputation of the Hokage and other high-level leaders.

Even after the shadows catch someone, they have to go through the interrogation stage to determine whether a person is friend or foe.

However, the people of the dark 'root' do not need to do this, as long as they are subjectively judged to be enemies, they will be directly wiped out.

If one of these organizations is not properly operated, it is easy to cause huge losses of prestige to the rulers of the authorities, leading to forced resignation.

"This should be tacitly agreed. Without acquiescence, the root would not have grown with the power of the shadows. The ninjas of this organization have no name, no feelings, no past, and no future, and they only have in mind the tasks that must be completed. ”

After listening to Ruri's narration, Shiraishi and Ayane remembered this mission, and the people of the dark 'root' were preparing to create a suicide bomb by themselves to destroy the supply point of the Sand Hidden Ninja, which was indeed within the scope of the machine.

They exist for the sole purpose of accomplishing their mission.

As for the means and what to sacrifice, that is something that will only be considered after the mission, or it is not necessary to think about it.

"What a horrible bunch of guys."

Shiraishi sighed.

No matter when, this kind of person who doesn't even care about his own life for a certain goal will make people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.

Without the darkness of the abyss, there would be no beautiful calm lake.

No matter what the era, these people who work silently in the dark are needed.

"So, what do you guys think about this mission?"

Ruri spread the map handed over to them by the ninja of the Dark Root, a precise map of the country of Kawano, on which all the places were recorded without leakage, and the distance and environmental information were marked.

Ruri pointed to an area in the belly of the country of Kawanoku, where the supply point of the village of Sand Hidden was located, and where Shiraishi and their attack were located.

Shiraishi looked at the map and said slowly, "The supply point is very close to the camp in the sand, and judging from the distance marked above, it only takes ten minutes to reach the support. In other words, we only have ten minutes to move from the time the feint causes a mass riot until we are safely off the battlefield. With the strength of the three of us, it was too reluctant. ”

The division of labor in the plan is very clear, the three of them are responsible for feints, causing riots to the maximum, and then quickly leave the battlefield, switch the ninja of the dark root to blow themselves up, destroy all the supplies at the Sand Hidden Supply Point, and complete the mission.

The difficulty of the task lies in how to quickly and effectively cause a large-scale riot within ten minutes, attract the attention of the Sand Hidden Ninja, create a reliable offensive environment for the ninjas of the dark 'root', and then how to evacuate the battlefield in time to avoid being affected by the detonation charm of their own people.

"No matter how you look at it, ten minutes is too short."

Ayane nodded, agreeing with Shiraishi's statement.

The number of Sand Hidden Ninjas guarding the supply point in the country of Kawanoku will definitely not be small, not to mention the upper ninja level ninjas, such an important area, even if more than ten upper ninja level ninjas are placed, it is not too much.

And in addition to the upper ninja, the equipped middle ninja will not be less, to complete the feint mission under the siege of so many upper ninja and middle ninja, the time limit is ten minutes, theoretically this is an almost impossible task.

"If I cause a riot, I can use a large-scale fire escape technique. And because there are important supplies there, the Sand Hidden Ninja will not use large-scale ninjutsu attacks, so this is a good place for us. But it was not easy to break out of the encirclement of the sand. I remember that before this time, you made a lot of useful props. ”

Ruri glanced at Shiraishi.

"I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon."

Shiraishi sighed helplessly, took out a scroll from his ninja bag, spread it on the ground, and untied the sealing technique on it, and a bunch of things appeared along with white smoke.

"These are ......"

Ayane picked up a projectile that resembled a smoke bomb, revealing a look of curiosity.

"Smoke grenades that contain highly toxic smoke bombs have a longer range and duration than ordinary smoke bombs, and there are antidotes."

"But when the time comes, if the enemy spreads with the wind......"

"It doesn't matter, when the time comes, I will use the Fire Escape Technique, if the enemy uses the Wind Escape to attack, it will strengthen my Fire Escape Technique and expand the range of Fire Escape."

In this way, the enemy's wind escape cannot be used easily, and the three of them can use the poisonous mist to make a feint and make a big fuss there.

However, after that, you will face a large number of sand hidden ninjas to chase and kill, and how to get out will need to be carefully planned.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the valley area on the border between the Fire Country and the River Country was already covered in darkness, and gusts of cold wind were heard.

"Let's talk about the plan of retreat while walking on the road, to get to the mission location in the middle of the night, there are less than six hours left, and the time is very rushed."

This was a surprise attack, so it didn't take too long to think about countermeasures, and it was necessary to destroy the supply points before they were transferred.

Otherwise, once the timeliness of the information has passed, it will not be so simple to find out the location of the supply point of Shayin again.

◎

In the middle of the night, the Konoha camp on the border of the Fire Nation was so silent that there was no even the chirping of insects.

In one tent, the simple electric light inside was a little dim, so that only the center of the tent was lit up, and the edge of the tent was still covered in darkness.

Tsunade stands at a desk to compile a piece of information.

Because this information is not trivial, it needs to be carefully examined.

Just then, a white-haired ninja came in from outside.

"Tsunade, are you still working? It's already this time. ”

The person who came was Jiraiya, who was the same as Tsunade, and as soon as he came in, he smiled at Tsunade and said hello.

"It's you, Jiraiya. Can I help you? ”

Tsunade glanced up at Jiraiya, and continued to lower his head to scrutinize the information.

I could see that she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now.

Seeing Tsunade like this, Jiraiya sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry about the rope tree, if I was there at that time......"

If the moment when Shayin and Konoha start a war, he can rush back as soon as possible and take care of it with Orochimaru, maybe he can avoid the tragedy of the rope tree.

However, this matter has passed, and people can't be resurrected after death, and seeing that the smile on Tsunade's face is much less than before, Jiraiya is both worried and guilty in his heart.

"It's none of your business!"

Tsunade's tone was very cold and hard.

Hearing Jiraiya talk about the rope tree, Tsunade felt a pain in his heart, but he quickly cheered up and was not knocked down because of this kind of thing.

She is now burdened with the lives of a large number of Konoha ninjas, and she must not show a weak posture at this time and be looked down upon.

“……”

Jiraiya stood aside in silence and did not refute Tsunade's words.

"Now that you're back, just hurry up and do your job. Don't get in the way of my work here. ”

Tsunade's tone softened, but the intention of driving him away was clear.

Jiraiya didn't say anything, but a look of loss appeared on his face.

"Wait!"

Tsunade suddenly stopped him.

"What's the matter?"

It is strange to come to the beginning.

"The mission of this surprise attack on the Sand Hidden Supply Point is the Shuomao team, right?"

Tsunade suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the moment.

"It's Team Shuomao. Because this task is very important, only Shuo Mao is suitable for completing this task, so the above handed over this task to his team to complete. ”

This mission to cut off the supply point of Shayin is related to the future trend of the battle.

If the mission can be completed perfectly, then the interior of the Sand Hidden Village will be self-defeating due to insufficient supplies, and Konoha will achieve the greatest results with very small sacrifices.

At that time, the two sides will enter into peace talks, and the war will end after more than two years.

In case of defeat, it means that the war will continue to suffer, which is not a very good result for Konoha and the Land of Fire.

The best outcome is a quick end to the war, and the two sides enter into a peace talks meeting to end the war in the form of peace talks.

And Jiraiya has great trust in Shuo Mao's ability, and even has great confidence in this mission.

I guess it's not just him, but the village, it's estimated that they've already started drafting the peace talks between Konoha and Shayin.

Seeing Tsunade's increasingly wrong face, Jiraiya's heart suddenly struck, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"The information on this is in conflict with the plan I made with Orochimaru. And it's not at all the usual connector signal in the dark......"

Tsunade took one of the large number of documents.

After hearing this, Zilai's face changed.

"Jiraiya, when you received the information from the dark department in the village, were you sure that no one had dropped it?"

Tsunade frowned and looked at Jiraiya.

Because the stakes are so high, the information transmitted from Konoha this time was sent to Jiraiya by the Shadows, and then Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was personally escorted to the front line to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Impossible! I've been working with Shuo Mao's team on the way, and it's impossible for anyone to do anything with this information! ”

Jiraiya snatched the information from Tsunade and read it carefully from beginning to end.

The face is getting worse and worse.

"What's going on? How is the content on this different from what Mr. Ape Fei explained? ”

Jiraiya's shoulders began to shake, and he looked at the information displayed on it in disbelief.

"It seems that you were tricked, since there was no accident on the way, there is only one possibility, you are in the dark part of the Konoha joint, not a subordinate of Mr. Sarufei."

Tsunade's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, causing Jiraiya's body to stiffen and cold sweat to break out on his face.

It's totally bad!

If he accidentally fell into the enemy's calculations and caused the Shuomao team to die in this mission, then the problem is really big.

"No, I have to get them back!"

Jiraiya was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and rushed out of the camp without hesitating anything.

"Wait, Jiraiya, don't be impulsive, even if you rush over now-"

However, by the time Tsunade caught up, Jiraiya had disappeared into the night and disappeared.

"This stupid person, who rushed to the rescue so recklessly, is easy to be ambushed by the enemy!"

Tsunade cursed in a low voice, and could only stare helplessly at the door of the tent.
