The place where the shadows were, as he thought, was a little dim and silent.

In the air, there seemed to be a bleak and murderous atmosphere, which made Xuan Yu involuntarily tense his nerves.

The deeper he went, the more people gradually increased, most of these people were wearing dark uniforms, and there were also some people in black or gray robes on the outside, who were in a hurry, but when they saw Qimu Shuomao, they all respectfully shouted 'Captain'.

It can be seen that the influence of the other party has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at this time.

Among these people, many people noticed Xuanyu's existence, and they all looked at it with a little curiosity, and some even showed surprise in their eyes, as if they recognized Xuanyu.

Xuan Yu was a little confused when he saw this, after all, it was only the first time he came.

Qimu Shuomao also saw the doubts on his face, so he explained to him as he walked.

It turned out that there were some members of the dark department, and they had all seen Xuan Yu in the official competition, so they remembered Xuan Yu's appearance.

Therefore, when I saw Xuan Yu coming to the dark department just now, I was naturally surprised, after all, even if it is a preparatory member, there are very few people like Xuan Yu who can be selected at this age.

Xuan Yu was puzzled, too, how could a game like this, which gathered so many people to watch, not send the dark department to protect it.

In the original book, there were many members of the dark department who hid in the secret during the ninja exam, and this competition has the effect of encouraging before the war, and the importance is naturally self-evident.

While some people were observing him, Hyun Woo was also observing the people here.

Some of them can clearly see that their bodies are always on alert, and their eyes are cold, as if any wind and grass may cause them to react.

Xuan Yu was shocked when he saw it, it was estimated that he had not experienced a lot of battles, so it was impossible to have such vigilance.

The two continued to walk inside, and Xuanyu finally came to the core of the dark department under the leadership of Qimu Shuomao.

Xuan Yu looked around, and felt that this place was like a transit station, extending everywhere, and many places were also marked with some signs, writing something similar to road signs.

Before he could look at it, he was led by Qimu Shuomao to a small window for special registration, and then handed in his documents.

Then, the person in charge of registration handed out a mask, a dark uniform, and a black robe, and did not say anything in between.

Xuan Yu didn't ask out loud, and he also knew that this place was probably a newcomer registration office, and it was estimated that it would have no other purpose.

Seeing that the formalities were completed, Qimu Shuomao directly took Xuan Yu and began to point to the surrounding road signs to introduce them, and asked him to memorize these contents once, because no one would show him the way after that.

After listening to what the other party said, Xuan Yu also had a general understanding of the structure of this place and the places where these passages lead.

The dark part is only one basement, but there are many entrances in various directions.

There is a task room, which is very large, and it is a place dedicated to the handover of tasks, and some large-scale or special tasks will also be released there.

The ninja room not only has free dark equipment forbearance, but also a variety of captured strange weapons that can be purchased.

You can even customize the weapon you want, but it's more expensive.

The scroll storage room is specially used to store record scrolls of various ninjutsu, illusions, and body arts.

At the same time, he also learned that reserve members can only be allowed to consult scrolls containing C-level and below for free, and only after becoming a full member can they consult B-level scrolls.

As for the A level, it belongs to the forbidden art level, and it is not easy to learn.

Unless you have created amazing feats, it is possible to learn from the seal scrolls mastered by the three generations of Hokage, and of course this is not the only way.

And on top of this, there are also S-levels that belong to the Upanishads, which of course are rarer in number and more difficult to learn.

Xuan Yu also knew that the classification of techniques was based on difficulty, not completely according to power.

Although generally speaking, the higher the level, the greater the power of the technique, but it is not absolute, and it has a lot to do with the user and the characteristics of the technique.

C-level, low difficulty, is the most commonly used by ninjas, such as the two fire escape ninjutsu that Xuanyu learned, which belong to C-level ninjutsu.

Grade B is more difficult in the normal grading, but with enough effort and time, it is generally possible to learn.

A-level is a forbidden art, and not everyone can learn it, because many of the A-level have restrictions.

For example, it is required to have enough chakra, or to meet certain physical fitness requirements, or some other special requirements.

It's like the Eight Dunjia that Xuan Yu himself learned, which belongs to the A-level physical technique, that is, a kind of forbidden technique.

And the S-level is a super ninjutsu that you may not be able to learn even if you put in a lot of talent and effort.

The difficulty is that S-ranks usually require some special conditions or special abilities to master, which has nothing to do with talent and hard work.

Later, when Hyun Woo was taken by Hagi Shuo Mao to continue to understand the dark environment, he also asked many questions, all of which were things he didn't know in his memory.

The other party did not hide it, and immediately answered.

The Shadow Division, that is, the assassination tactical special unit, was founded by the second generation Hokage Senjuma, who was single-handedly created after taking office, and it is also the core force in the hands of the Hokage.

Of course, the dark department is not only guarding the Hokage, but more importantly, guarding the safety of Konoha Village.

In the shadow level, the lowest level is undoubtedly a reserve member like Xuanyu, and further up, there are official members of the dark department.

Every official member of the Shadow Department is at least an elite ninja in terms of strength.

The full members, on the other hand, are generally divided into teams of one to five people.

Each squad will have a squad leader, who is responsible for handing over the task and directing and guiding the task during the mission.

The squad leader is usually served by a special shinobi, and there are a very few who serve as a shinobi.

Above the squad leader is the squad leader, who is responsible for managing a certain number of squads.

The strength of the team leader is at least at the level of upper ninja, and some of them have even reached the level of elite upper ninja, which can pose a threat to the shadow-level powerhouse.

Above the detachment leader, there is only one person, and that is the captain of the dark army, who is responsible for managing all the members of the entire dark department, and is the person who belongs to the core of power in Konoha Village.

This person is Qimu Shuomao, who is walking beside Xuanyu at this time.

Regarding his own strength, Qimu Shuomao just smiled and didn't say it explicitly, but Xuanyu knew that at this time, he was already a powerful shadow-level powerhouse.

This hierarchical system of the dark part has been perfected.

In terms of the number of people, the dark department has always been maintained at more than 100 people, and as for the specific number, even Qimu Shuomao, who is the commander of the dark army, said that he did not know.

The main reason is that the number of personnel will continue to increase and decrease, and the number of people who die in the mission will decrease, and the number of new members will increase.

Therefore, it will be very difficult to count the specific number of people for a long time.

This also made Xuan Yu feel that the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest in the shadows should not be underestimated.
