A year later.

Yan Feng started his first formal date with Uchiha Mikoto, and the afternoon was filled with well-arranged activities, and the warm and soft little hands were even more joyful, but when it was dark to send Mai Korto home, he was so excited that he wanted to kiss goodbye, but the shy Mai Qin dodged, but was kissed to the ear, she exclaimed in a panic, and then ran away, Yan Feng felt a little regretful, the first kiss was still kept! Self-pity is not behaving and getting carried away, the monkey is a little anxious...

The improvement rate of meat ball ability has obviously slowed down a lot in the past year, but this is normal, it is like climbing a tall snowy mountain, the higher you go, the more difficult and slower it is, everything has to be gradual, and this is also urgent.

Yan Feng didn't pay too much attention to the Thunder Escape Ninjutsu, but he developed a Thunder Light Fist, according to the comments of the Thunder Escape masters in the shadows, the Thunder Escape Ninjutsu developed actually had the power of B-level Thunder Escape! This surprised Yan Feng a little, so he did it casually, and he came up with a B-level ninjutsu...

The practice of sealing has made great progress, the sealing technique in the root has been read five, five, six or six, and the simple sealing technique is already a little clear, when encountering difficulties, Yan Feng is no longer inclined to rely on the group to solve it, but to consult Mito's mother-in-law, and at the same time of gaining insight, he also learned the stronger Vortex Clan Sealing Technique with Jiu Sinai, and learned a high-level sealing technique: the Four Elephant Seal!

The more I studied, the more I felt like a treasure to the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, and the more lazy I was to turn over the sealing scroll in the root.

He also figured out his new ninjutsu, combining the butterfly transformation ability and the principle of the spiral pill to concretize the ninjutsu of chakra!

It's been two years since he obtained the ability of the meat ball fruit, and his current strength has completely reached the level of upper ninja, once he uses the bear spirit palm, the captain of the dark part of the root is not an opponent at all, he may be far from the level of elite upper ninja like Princess Tsunade, but reaching the level of the captain of the dark part is just around the corner.

Of course, all this is still under the premise of not using secret medicine!

Tuan Zang will often teach him to "follow the good and induce" and persevere!

No matter how firm the mind is, under the influence of hearing and seeing for a long time, it will gradually change, the so-called abalone, for a long time without smelling its smell, change is always unconscious.

But for Yan Feng, this kind of brainwashing is just like earwax, and the ears are cleaned up when they are plucked out.

Fortunately, the war became more and more intense, and it began to show a trend of entering a white heat, and the time spent in the root was greatly reduced, and he often discussed with the Hokage, Mito Menyan, and the two Hokage assistants.

They are both disciples of the second generation, a hero and three gangs, Danzou can provide combat power and front-line command support, Mito Menyan is responsible for strategic support, and Zhuan Koharu is responsible for the overall planning of logistics, which is why the three generations of Hokage can tolerate the existence of roots.

For a long time, Yan Feng has only received a few tasks, but he is too lazy to worry, and he can improve his cultivation with peace of mind, and take the time to hold Meiqin's little hand, isn't it beautiful?

With the severity of the war situation, the shadow members in the root base are becoming fewer and fewer, and the frequency of missions is getting higher and higher, of course, casualties are commonplace, and some figures have completely disappeared and will never come back.

Yan Feng also had a premonition and preparation, it wouldn't be long before he would definitely go to the battlefield and accept the baptism of blood and fire.

At noon that day, he received a big task, an S-class task!

The captain who leads the team is no longer at the level of squad leader, but the detachment leader who accompanies him in training at this stage.

Early the next morning, the detachment leader Ding gathered the eight members who were well prepared, began to explain the mission, and then set off for the neighboring country of Kawano.

The country of rivers is different from other small countries, in the long and narrow border, the north near the country of rain is the intricate valley and river, the central and southern parts of the original rivers and lakes are dotted, but the vast water environment and mild climate lead to the flooding of aquatic plants, with the continuous growth and death of aquatic plants, a large number of decaying remains make the water flow lakes begin to silt shallow, smaller and smaller, with the accumulation of years, when the sediment reaches a certain limit, the original wide water surface of the lakes and rivers become shallow water, water and grass swamps.

Now, except for a few habitable places in the central and southern parts of Kawanokuni, most of them are endless dangerous swamps, but it is precisely by virtue of the complex topography in the north and the geographical environment that the swamps in the central and southern parts are not suitable for ninja warfare, compared with other small countries, in the ninja war, the disaster is much less, and the small ninja village in the country is hidden in the swamp and is not swallowed by the mud.

Although the main battlefield of the fierce battle between Fire, Wind, and Earth was in the Land of Rain, according to intelligence, there was a force of Sand Hidden that had infiltrated the country of Kawano, a neighbor common to Fire and Wind, and it was clear that there was a plan.

The high-level leaders of Konoha unanimously agreed that this matter must involve the strange weapon that once deterred powerful enemies in the Mud Ninja Village of Kawanokuni: Mud Ghosts!

Yan Feng's task this time is to investigate and completely solve this matter, as for how to investigate and how to solve it, everything is improvised, if you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to chop, this is why the root dark department will be assigned.

Mud ghosts, what exactly is and how did they come about, no one can tell, even the people of the Nishinobi Village in Kawanokuni can't tell, and the way is unclear.

Many years ago, there was a sand hidden army that invaded Mud Ninja Village, and then all of them were buried in the vast swamp, not to mention that there were no bones, not even clothes and weapons were left without a single star, it is said that they met mud ghosts and were all devoured!

There are ninjas in the mud ninja village who have seen it from afar, only know that it lives in the endless swamp, often lurking in the swamp mud, once it appears, it looks like a pile of mud, more vividly said to be the shape of a piece of poop, but the volume is very huge, more huge than a building, two giant eyes burst out of blood-red fierce light, usually swallowed slowly, when squirming forward, its body will be elongated, and then the back part of the retraction forward, so that the cycle repeats, to achieve movement, a bit similar to the movement of a snail.

But this is only the case, once foraging and threatened, it will burst out at a very high speed, and if you are fooled by its clumsy appearance, the only end is to become its belly.

With a strange appearance and terrifying power, the country of Kawanokuni regards it as a monster and a ghost, which is why the mud ghost gets its name.

What is so great about mud ghosts?

No one outside the swamps of Kawanokuni knows about it.

Konoha Village does not have the slightest information on this.

Maybe someone in Mud Ninja Village knows how powerful the Mud Ghost is.

But judging from this mission, it is clear that the Sand Hidden Village has also learned about the power of the mud ghosts from some way, and it is likely that they will covet the mud ghosts for use in the current war.

This mission sent nine dark subordinates, not only Yan Feng, who is strong enough to reach the upper ninja level, but also a team leader who can touch the threshold of elite upper ninja, which shows that the arduousness of the task is extraordinary!

The group rushed all the way, and in the evening of the next day, they crossed the border of the land of fire, and came to the territory of the country of Sichuan, there was no dense jungle anymore, only the green meadow, and they didn't continue to move forward for long, and they saw that the green grass in the distance was filled with mist, and under the grass one by one, it was no longer a solid ground, most of it was watery, and it was obvious that there was a swamp in front of it.

It was getting late, and the swamp was difficult to navigate.

Even for the dark department, which is far beyond ordinary people, it is very dangerous to fall into the swamp mud, so the team leader Ding decided to camp nearby.
