In the northeast of the Land of Fire, under the dim light of dawn, a team of about twenty ninjas were marching rapidly through the snow-white wilderness.
Even though they were attacking at the speed of locusts, they could still leave neat footprints and snow marks wherever the team passed.
It can be seen that they are not low-level ninjas.
Of course, the most peculiar thing about this team is actually the age of the members. Except for the two leading captains, their average age is actually less than 14 years old...
From the snowy night when we set out, to the early morning of winter at this moment.
It can be seen that such a rapid marching team should be charged with a very important mission...
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and after the team finally reached a more open plain, at the signal of the two captains, they decided to stop and rest for a while.
After getting a breather, most of the young ninjas who had been tensing up and trying their best not to fall behind suddenly collapsed on the ground. Obviously, this was the first time for most of the young and girl ninjas to experience such an emergency.
's march.
"Everyone, get ready and rest quickly. I will explain the current battle situation with the deputy captain later, as well as the specific division of labor for our next tasks!"
In front of everyone, on a snow-covered rock, the captain of the team, an old figure, was standing on a high place.
He first glanced at the crooked young men below, couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, and then conveyed the order.
"yes."
"clear."
"..."
The young voice responded sparsely. Seeing this scene, the old man shook his head secretly, but finally turned around and looked further into the distance.
It snowed heavily overnight, covering the mountains and fields, making everything as far as the eye could see is white.
This old man wears sunglasses and has a somewhat fashionable appearance. He is wearing beige long sleeves and his clothes are unique. If it weren't for the ninja forehead protector with the Konoha logo tied around his waist, not many people would be able to guess it.
It turned out that he was a Jounin of Konoha.
Wherever the fashionable old jounin looked, a very fast black shadow soon came into view. In the blink of an eye, the black shadow quickly landed beside the old man with a few moves.
"How's it going? Are there any traces of the Kumogakure ninja troops passing by nearby?"
The old man with fashionable hair and sunglasses had a solemn look on his face. He looked at the settled black figure anxiously and asked.
The black figure wears a worn-out bamboo hat on his head and carries a large pot on his back. There seem to be some spatulas, spoons and other cooking utensils hanging inside. At first glance, the clothes are shabby like ordinary people, with only an inconspicuous hanging on the back of his waist.
Wearing a small sword and this attire, it is difficult for people to think that he is actually a Konoha ninja.
"No trace of Cloud Ninja has been found yet. It seems that the front line has not been breached yet..."
As the hat rose, the black shadow revealed an older but kinder face and responded.
The fashionable sunglasses ninja breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and couldn't help but praise sincerely: "The Yondaime only brought a few dozen ANBU, but he was able to intercept thousands of cloud ninja troops invading the Fire Country overnight.
, it’s unbelievable…”
"Of course the golden flash has never disappointed, but since the opportunity has not been lost, it is our turn to do our best to implement the subsequent strategy of blocking the enemy and waiting for reinforcements..."
The old man in the hat obviously believed deeply. Unlike other people's one-sided understanding of the Fourth Hokage's praise of virtues, he himself was actually fortunate to have deeper contact with Namikaze Minato, that is, Zeng Jin and Namikaze Minato who had not yet become Hokage.
We performed missions together...
These two people are actually the two captains responsible for leading this team.
On the other side, young and teenage ninjas were resting. Many of them looked at the backs of the two old ninjas discussing the mission on the rock from a distance, but they started talking secretly.
"I really didn't expect that the captains this time would actually be two seniors of such an age. It seems that the village really can't find any outstanding nakajonin who can lead the team..."
"There's nothing we can do about it, but for those of us who need to show off our skills, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Not just them, most people along the way have actually discovered that although the people gathered this time are all genin, in fact they are all elites and outstanding people, including several first-year genin who have graduated in the past two years, almost all of them
Gathered here. It can be said that this group of elite genin are only one exam away from being promoted to chuunin...
"That's right. I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking about the war in the Land of Grass. They actually didn't allow us genin to participate in the war. This was not the case before. My brother, who is four years older than me, has only graduated for more than a year, but...
After the war with the Iwa ninja in the past few years, I was promoted to chunin after I came back.
This speed of promotion is really enviable..."
At this moment, outside the group of people who were gathering together to discuss secretly, a girl's voice with a slightly mocking tone suddenly came: "I thought that all the Genin elites were gathered for this mission, but I didn't expect that there were so many novices."
ah.
I really have no knowledge at all..."
As soon as these words were said, several of the teenagers who were discussing quickly stood up and cast angry glances in the direction of the source of the sound.
It turned out that the person who was mocking them was a girl in a trench coat with purple hair, wearing a Konoha forehead protector, standing in the snow with her arms folded, and a kunai surrounding her exposed index finger, which was spinning continuously.
Judging from her leisurely demeanor, it seems that she is not like most people who have a lot of physical exertion due to rushing all night.
The most uncomfortable thing is actually the girl's seemingly aggressive gaze, full of defiance and provocation...
Due to this mission, most of the people were suddenly called together temporarily, so many of them actually didn't know each other. The dissatisfied and mocking teenagers didn't know the reality of this purple-haired girl for a while. After all, these people didn't know each other.
There are too many talented ninjas and potential genin among our people. It would be bad if we were kicked out of a rude speech...
Therefore, these young men who were very dissatisfied and stood up had to endure it first, suppressed their anger and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
However, the purple-haired girl seemed a little disappointed that these people did not dare to attack. She curled her lips slightly. Although she gave an explanation, her tone was even more contemptuous: "Konoha's elite Jonin, Taijutsu
I don’t even know Master Chen, so you should just stop being ninjas..."
These few words instantly shocked these young people.
There are not many ninjas who are famous for their taijutsu, especially those who have reached the Jounin level of Konoha. Therefore, in this period when Metkai has not yet become famous as a jounin, many people have never seen the name of taijutsu master Teacher Chen.
Although he has been famous for a long time, he is still famous for a long time...
The purple-haired girl glanced at the few people who were looking at each other, and seemed to feel that there was really no point in teasing these rookies, so she turned around and left.
After she left, the talking crowd immediately went into a rage.
"Senior Chen Long, the master of physical arts? Is it real or fake?!"
"But, how come I heard that Jonin Chen Long died of illness two years ago? Is our captain really that Taijutsu master?"
"I think this may be... true."
At this moment, everyone had already secretly looked at the two captains on the rock. One of the boys looked at it for a long time and suddenly said: "I heard that Jonin Chen Long is an older senior who wears very fashionable clothes. If you look at it this way...
…”
"Sure enough, the people summoned for this mission are all monsters. Even the captain is such a legendary jounin."
Although after a discussion, everyone immediately became more curious about the identity of another old ninja, but no one could give an answer. On the contrary, during the discussion, someone recognized the Jieao who had made the mocking comment before.
