Chapter 45: The First Root Mission
"I haven't been out on a mission yet......"
Itachi faintly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Last year, Itachi joined the Shadows and officially became the smallest member of the Shadows (not counting the roots).
Now, months later, Itachi's job is only to train with the Kakashiban where he is; Standing guard in the Hokage's office; Or accompany the three generations around.
And Konoha, who is in peacetime, has no assassination mission at all. Itachi is basically idle, so there is just a dissatisfaction, just because there is no task.
"Serving as Hokage-sama's bodyguard is also one of the tasks!"
Kakashi pale as he explained, though he knew that his own explanation wouldn't help.
"Shadow Division, shouldn't it be an assassination tactical special unit?!"
Itachi asked, confused, turning.
"It's a truce!"
Kakashi sighed that after experiencing the Third Ninja World War, he was not too interested in the killing mission.
Squeak!
Just as the two of them were chatting idly, suddenly the door of the office opened, and an old man with a short stature and a withered shape walked out.
"Kakashi!"
The three generations commanded as they walked.
"In!"
Kakashi jerked up straight, waiting for the three generations to command.
The three generations stood still and said slowly: "I just mean to send a team publicly, but Tuan Zang thinks that there is something behind the mission. Nor can he ignore his opinions. Therefore, a special team will also be sent secretly. ”
"In other words, it's not the Hokage's order, is it?!"
Kakashi was outside the office, and when he heard everything about the Rinno Kuni, he also understood the meaning of the three generations, and said lightly.
Once used by Danzang, he almost assassinated three generations, and was even assassinated by Danzang with Yamato in turn in order to seize the experience of writing wheels, so that Kakashi did not have the slightest good impression and trust in Danzang.
Kakashi didn't want to pay attention to Danzo's orders.
However, the third generation said, "I heard about Danzo's order!" Then he turned and walked away.
The third generation also knows that Kakashi and Danzo are in the same boat. However, in the face of the interests of the village, both of them sacrificed some. Of course, it was Kakashi's sacrifice and forbearance that made more of it.
At this moment, a gloomy voice came from inside the office.
"On the surface, it's peaceful diplomacy. We will exchange information with the ninjas of the country of the forest and exchange information across the border. But I think that nine times out of ten of them are traps of the enemy. ”
Tuan Zang paused and added.
"The third generation also agrees with this view."
"Therefore, it is necessary to send out a shadow ministry to protect the troops who are openly carrying out their missions. Then as soon as the opponent turns back, launch an attack on the troops. ”
"Just kill them! Not a single mouth is left alive! ”
Kakashi turned, and the blood-red writing wheel glanced inside the office and confirmed, "Is it annihilation?!" ”
"You have to let them know that Konoha can't be betrayed!" Danzo is categorical, and as a hardliner, he will not allow any enemy to damage Konoha's interests.
Danzou regarded Konoha and the position of the Hokage as something in his pocket. How can he let others covet and damage the interests that belong to him in the future.
"I'd like to form a duo with Itachi."
Kakashi knew that the task could not be shirked, and his heart moved, and he proposed.
"Can ......"
Tuan Zang nodded, and the figure of a young man suddenly appeared in his heart, and continued: "We will also send a ninja from the root to go with you!" ”
What Tuan Zang remembered was exactly that, Autumn Dao Ding Kai!
In the original book, Danzo didn't send any root ninjas.
Mainly because Kakashi can go alone. Kakashi, who is nominally an elite shinobi, has a strength comparable to that of a quasi-kage. If you count the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Pupil Technique, Shenwei, it can be compared to the combat power of the shadow level.
Even Itachi, it's just that Kakashi is afraid that Itachi will get bored with the work of the guards, so by the way, he takes Itachi to get used to the killing mission in the shadows.
However, now Autumn Dao Ding Kai has become a ninja that Tuan Zang focuses on cultivating. It is more important than Sai of the ink ninja method, the secret ninja Yamanaka Stroke, the oil girl and others.
And Ding Kai's strength also reassures Tuan Zang. The only thing Ding Kai lacks is the experience of the mission. This mission couldn't be more suitable for Ding Kai.
"I don't need to drag a bottle!"
Kakashi said lightly.
"Don't worry, it won't!"
Tuan Zang closed his eyes and said confidently.
And Ding Kai, who was hunting and adding some rations for himself, didn't know that he had been hidden by the group and arranged a mission in the dark.
After listening to Danzo's nonsense, Kakashi also left with Itachi.
……
In the evening, Ding Kai, who had eaten most of the roast wild boar, also picked his teeth slowly and went back to the dormitory to rest.
A large wild boar weighing four or five thousand catties is only more than two thousand catties, about a ton of pork.
And Ding Kai alone ate more than half a ton. In fact, Ding Kai's can eat the whole pig. However, due to the limited barbecue speed of the canteen food and the limited seasoning, Ding Kai can only be supplied with about half a ton of roast pork.
The perverted spiciness, which Ding Kai demanded alone, exhausted a whole sack of chili peppers in the root canteen. Not to mention, other ingredients.
To be sure, for the next few days, the ninjas at the root will eat a little lighter.
As soon as Ding Kai returned to the dormitory, he was notified that the group had an invitation.
Ding Kai, whose facial expression returned to normal, instantly entered a state of emotionlessness, and his eyes swept the root ninja with murderous aura. Nodding expressionlessly, he put on his mask and followed the ninja to Danzo's office.
"Lord Tuanzang, Autumn Dao Ding Kai has been brought!"
The root ninja said with a respectful bow.
"Well, you go down!"
Tuan Zang was on crutches, with one eye closed, and said gloomily.
"Yes!"
The root ninja, who was accustomed to Danzo's tone, bowed again and turned to leave.
"Autumn Road Ding Kai ......"
Tuan Zang opened his eyes and glanced at Ding Kai.
"In!"
Ding Kai has already practiced Oscar-level acting skills, his face is expressionless, but his eyes are full of murderous energy, and he shouted. If Tuan Zang didn't use Chakra and probed the curse mark in Ding Kai's body, he wouldn't have found any abnormalities at all.
Of course, Tuan Zang checked Ding Kai's spell mark more than once. On the surface, the black characters remain unchanged. Moreover, Ding Kai's performance is also flawless.
Even with the insidious and vicious Tuan Zang, there is no way to know that Ding Kai's body still has devouring power comparable to the power of the six realms. His little curse seal chakra had long been devoured by Ding Kai's devouring power and turned into devouring chakra in his body.
"Well, that's good. How has your training been lately and how much has your strength increased? ”
Tuan Zang asked with concern.
"If you return to the Tuan Zang Lord, the training of your subordinates has entered a bottleneck period, and you have long been proficient in ninjutsu and physical arts. Limited by the amount of chakra, the strength has not increased much recently. If there is enough food......"
Ding Kai replied indifferently.
"Stop!"
As soon as Tuan Zang heard about Ding Kai's food problem, he was the first two big, and immediately stopped drinking.
