Chapter 24: The Assassination Mission

Kikyo City

"Serena, I haven't seen you for three years, I heard Lord Orochimaru say that you went for special training, but I didn't expect that it only took three years to become a ninja, and I didn't win or lose with the scorching Hakura of Sand Hidden Village, tell me, what kind of special training have you carried out in the past three years?"

Hearing this, Serena looked at everyone's curious eyes and scratched his head, he couldn't tell everyone that he had accepted the inheritance of the Divine Dragon, and three years would have passed since he woke up. Immediately said mysteriously: "Is this this?" You can't say it, you can't say it. ”

"Cut!" The crowd looked at Serena with disdain. I didn't know that Genma looked at Serena and sighed: "I didn't expect you to become a shinobi so quickly, I originally graduated from the ninja school, and I was going to fight with you when I came to the battlefield, but now it seems that there is no need for this." ”

"That's it, in order to be able to graduate, I trained hard, and now I'm a middle ninja, I thought that if I became a ninja, I could compete with Kakashi, but I didn't expect that I would be assigned to the battlefield of the Land of Wind."

"Kai, have you become a shinobi?"

"It's not just Kai, I've also become a shinobi."

Serena was surprised when she heard this: "I didn't expect that after three years of not seeing you, you have all become Zhongnin, what about the others?" ”

"They were all sent to the battlefield of the Land of Thunder, and I heard that the war in the Land of Thunder has entered the final stage, and most of the upper ninjas have gone to support the battlefield of the Land of Thunder, so there is no way to take a Hakura who has just advanced to the upper ninja on the battlefield."

"There are still a few upper ninjas in Kikyo City, and they will actually be killed on the battlefield by a Ye Cang who has just been promoted to upper ninja."

"Speaking of which, Serena, you may not believe it, there are only three masters left in the entire Kikyo City, except for Orochimaru-sama, only Kai's father, Maite Zhen, and your cousin, Shigeki Hachiki-sama. The others are all middle and lower forbearance. ”

Serena was surprised when he heard this: "No, there are only three masters in Kikyo City, and the sand ninja on the opposite side actually didn't storm Kikyo City." ”

"The fact that Kikyo City can hold until now depends on the prestige of the three adults, if the three shadow-level powerhouses are desperate regardless of life and death, even if Sand Hidden Village wins Kikyo City, they will pay a heavy price, I think this is the reason why Sand Hidden Village did not attack Kikyo City."

"I see, are you afraid that after you storm Kikyo City, you will be attacked by other countries?"

"That's right, it's a time of war after all, and if anyone is at a disadvantage in the battle, they may face a joint attack from other countries, just like during the Second Shinobi War, Konoha was attacked on all sides, so neither side dares to act rashly now."

"Serena, Lord Orochimaru wants you to go to the battle conference room, and I have a task for you to do." While Serena was discussing the current format with the crowd, a ninja walked in and asked Serena to head to the battle room.

Operational conference room

Orochimaru looked at Serena with satisfaction, he hadn't seen him for three years, Serena's growth was far beyond his expectations, and he was now very satisfied with his decision to take Serena as an apprentice. "Serena, how did you get there?"

Serena was surprised when he heard this: "Does the teacher know where I went?" ”

"Longdi Cave, I've heard Ten Thousand Snakes mention it, but I don't even know where it is? Only the spirit snake clan who have successfully practiced immortal arts are allowed to go to the Dragon Land Cave, and for a thousand years, only the parents of ten thousand snakes have succeeded, and you can have the opportunity to practice immortal arts, which is really enviable. ”

When Serena heard this, she decided to hide the matter of the Divine Dragon Inheritance, and it was better for only herself to know about this matter. "Teacher, what are you calling me here for?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru said solemnly: "Serena, I believe you also know the situation in Kikyo City, the current Kikyo City is in danger. ”

"Teacher, I've heard about this, so what are we going to do?"

"We must hold on until the Thunder Nation battlefield is victorious, so that we can counterattack, now that Kikyo Castle is empty, we can only be forced to defend, but if this continues, Kikyo Castle will be broken by Sand Hidden Village sooner or later, so I want you to infiltrate the Land of Wind to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Wind."

Serena was shocked when he heard this, "Teacher, I have no experience in assassination at all, and I am not sure of success, if you assassinate the Daimyo, you should let Brother Lei Tong go, he is very good at assassination." ”

"Lei Tong is still a mid-ninja now, and he can't complete this task. Besides, I sent you to the Land of the Wind to assassinate the Daimyo, not so that you could kill him, but so that you could cause chaos in the Land of the Wind, and it would be better to attract the attention of all the ninjas in the Land of the Wind and lead them all to you. I'll send another elite team to destroy the opponent's supply depots. ”

"Does the teacher mean to let me be the bait?"

"Yes, you are now a shinobi, and you have the strength to create chaos in the Land of Wind, as long as you are still in the Land of Wind, the Daimyo will definitely have trouble sleeping, and will definitely send ninjas to surround and suppress you, so as to create a chance for another team. Moreover, you have signed a blood contract with the Spirit Snake Clan, and in case your life is in danger, you can also use the psychic reverse summon to escape. ”

"I see, Sensei, but what if I kill the Daimyo?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and smiled evilly, "That's even better, if it weren't for the tension of the staff, I would have sent Shigeki to assassinate the daimyo a long time ago." ”

"When am I leaving, teacher?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, and the current situation does not allow us to hesitate for a moment."

"I know, I'll pack my things and get ready to go." Serena turned and left.

"Wait a minute, Serena."

Hearing this, Serena stopped and wondered, "Teacher, is there anything else?" ”

"You have to be careful of one person when assassinating the Daimyo." Serena was curious when she heard this: "Teacher, who is that person?" ”

"Just like the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is protected by the Twelve Protectors, the Land of the Wind also has people who protect the Daimyo, known as the Four Protectors of the Country, the other three are all the same Shinobi as you, and the other person is the person you have to be careful with this time, he is the head of the Four Protectors of the Country, Yagami and Ma! He has the blood inheritance boundary of the wind, and he can freely control the wind without sealing, and is known as the first person below the shadow level, but that was ten years ago, and no one knows how strong he is now, after all, he hasn't done it for almost five years, so you must be careful not to be caught by the other party. ”

Hearing this, Serena said solemnly: "I know, teacher, I will be careful." ”

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, you go down and prepare." Hearing this, Serena left the war room and began to prepare for a trip to the Land of Winds.

A blonde boy with a height of 1.5 meters walked alone in the desert with wind and sand, the boy was dressed in white, holding a map of the Land of Wind in his hand, and was carefully determining the route, it was Serena who had infiltrated the Land of Wind, if you just looked at the appearance, no one would believe that he was only 7 years old. "Really, what kind of broken map is this, I got lost, where is the capital of the Wind Country? How can this accomplish the task? Serena looked around, hoping to find a passerby to ask for directions. The hard work paid off, and he finally found a team of caravanserais.

Ichiro Matsumoto looked at the boy in front of him and smiled kindly. "The little brother is going to Garan, the capital of the Land of Winds."

"That's right, I don't know if my uncle can tell me how to go?"

"Little brother, it's easy to get lost when you walk alone in the desert, why don't you go with us, it just so happens that we are also going to Garland."

Serena said excitedly: "Can I really be with you?" ”

"No problem!"

"Great!" Serena got Matsumoto's answer and happily sat in the car. "Uncle, what are you doing?"

"I'm a merchant who mainly trades in the specialties of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire."

"That uncle must have been to a lot of places, can you tell me about it."

"Of course, I'll tell you・・・・・・" In this way, Serena blended into the caravan and followed the caravan to Garan, the capital of the Land of Winds.
