The Ninja Village represents a country's military strength. As a gathering place for ninjas, it is natural to have a public training ground. The various training grounds in the village are such places.
There are five large training grounds distributed in Konoha Village. In addition, several small training grounds are also owned by several large families.
The first training ground is actually a special public training ground.
Compared with the other four large training grounds, it is more confidential, and special applications are usually required to enter it.
Because this place was originally intended for those ninjas who possess secret techniques and blood succession limits. Of course, their abilities are not suitable for exposure, especially if there are spies infiltrating the village and exposing the secrets of their blood succession limits in the future.
On the battlefield, it is very disadvantageous to fight an enemy who knows the information about his abilities.
Although the original intention of the village is very good, in fact, there are still very few secret arts and blood successor ninjas coming here as a training place.
Because the major ninja families in Konoha, such as the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, all have their own small training grounds, and some smaller occult families, such as Ino Shikacho, prefer to find their own places where no one is around.
place to practice.
The above reasons have led to the fact that although this public training ground has the most complete facilities and the highest confidentiality in name, it is basically in a state of neglect most of the time.
"This training ground..., this is my first time here."
Dieyivasi looked around curiously. In front of him was a wall. Inside the wall was probably the legendary first training ground. But standing outside at this time, of course he couldn't see anything.
In the distance, Shiranui Genma was at the gate, talking with a Konoha ninja who looked very old.
It is very reasonable for a ninja to be stationed at such a confidential venue.
"Let's go to each other. After all, this is a training place arranged for those special ninjas."
The curiosity in Lei Tong's heart was much less than that of Die Iwaxi. While Xuanjian was still negotiating with the defenders, he was full of curiosity and suddenly had a whim. He secretly made several seals and then closed his eyes.
eyes.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes with a look of disappointment and withdrew the seal.
"Senior Lei Tong, what are you doing?"
Deyiwahi asked puzzledly.
"Nothing, I just want to see how confidential this training ground is..."
Notwithstanding the depressed look on Zurei's face, the sensing ninjutsu he just used failed to detect the situation inside the training ground at all.
Because of the power of perception, he encountered an invisible barrier on the outside as soon as it spread, which made him believe that the confidentiality facilities of this special training ground did have a certain level.
"Let's go, let's go, Xuanjian is really slow..."
Just when Dieyiwaxi was about to say something else, Bing Zu Lei was already rushing towards the gate, not forgetting to greet him at the same time.
It turned out that in front of the gate in the distance, Shiranui Genma had finished negotiating with the stationed ninjas and was waving to them.
The two of them rushed to the Xuanjian together, and then registered before being allowed to enter by the old man stationed at the training ground.
After walking into the training ground, the three people immediately discovered that the facilities here were indeed better than the other four training grounds. There were shooting ranges for practicing shuriken, training equipment for practicing physical skills, and even there were several different types of venues.
Corrected the level training field open space, a small lakeshore, and a wooded area further inside.
As soon as Genjian and the others entered the empty training ground in front of them, a blond man wearing a standard Jonin uniform appeared in everyone's sight with a ghostly flash.
"Everyone, are you all here?"
Namikaze Shuime picked up the Flying Thunder God Kunai stuck on the ground, smiled warmly, and slowly walked towards the three of them.
Just now, he has gone to check out various venues. The terrain here is rich, and it is quiet when no one is around. It can be regarded as a unique private training venue.
But there are not many people in Konoha who can think so.
After all, not just anyone can come here if they want to...
"Lord Hokage..."
"..."
After seeing the figure of Minato Namikaze, the three people in Genma all looked attentively and immediately bowed in salute.
Namikaze Minato came closer, glanced at the three of them, nodded with satisfaction, and then went straight to the point: "The situation in the ninja world is likely to become tense again recently."
"So in order to cope with the possible war here, I want to test your strength and how much you have improved in this year."
Because in the near future, a local war with Kumogakure and Iwagakure will happen, I don’t know when.
So Minato Namikaze wanted to find out today how much strength his Shadow Guards have now, in order to prepare for the war ahead.
Ninjas who can learn the Flying Thunder God are extremely rare, and once they can master the Flying Thunder God, their influence in the war cannot be ignored. Even if the three people in front of him need to work together to use the Flying Thunder God, the purpose is only
It is limited to sending people and materials, but in wartime, it is still very useful.
"Hokage-sama, are you going to test us?" Shiranui Genma probably understood something, and was so shocked that he almost dropped the thousand books in his mouth.
The ones next to them, Hinazaku Raido and Tie Iwashi, looked puzzled, obviously they still didn't understand the meaning of Namikaze Minato's words.
Seeing this, Namikaze Minato nodded helplessly, and could only say more bluntly: "Yes, I will be your opponent."
"Next, I will give you a few minutes to prepare and discuss tactics. Try to use all your abilities. There is no need to hold back during the battle."
"After it's over, I will give you some guidance based on your ability type and expertise..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ningzu Raidong and Tie Iwashi's eyes widened. They had heard of special jounin and jounin assessments, but never heard of the Hokage assessment.
Especially the fact that the Fourth Hokage was their opponent really made them feel a little scared.
"I understand, Hokage-sama."
It was Shiranui Genma who was the first to react. At the same time, Tadashi guessed Namikaze Minato's intention. Seeing that Amaizu Raidong and Iwaki were still in a daze of surprise, they couldn't help but remind them: "Hey, you two are still stunned.
What?"
"Being able to fight against Golden Flash, such an opportunity is not available to everyone..."
After hearing Genma's words, Nakazu Raido and Tie Iwashi finally reacted. Although they were a little frightened, since this was Namikaze Minato's order, they had no choice but to obey it.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Shiranui Genma said.
Since taking up the position of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato has rarely had the opportunity to take action again. Today, there are really not many opportunities to take the time to guide the Shadow Guards.
