Chapter 206: The Dark Part

In order to protect the identities of the members of the dark department from being leaked, members of the dark department are not allowed to detect each other's identities except for the accidental team leader.

In this way, even if a member of the dark part is captured by the enemy by accident, it will not let the enemy forces obtain information, and the captains of the dark part are excellent ninjas, and their strength and experience are enough to ensure that they will not be captured by the enemy, maybe they will be defeated, or die, but it is not so easy to get their complete corpses.

Of course, no one in this world dares to say that their secrets will never be known by others, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the dark companions of the same detachment, such as Shikamaru, who have spiral pills and "black magic" and "no style", will inevitably reveal some of their unique habits or fighting methods when fighting, and under long-term contact, it is very likely that other members will guess their true identity, so there is a tradition of regularly splitting the team members in the dark department.

After every five missions, ordinary members will be transferred to other detachments, and after three such transfers, you will still be alive, and if you don't become a detachment leader, you will be retired from the dark department.

In other words, each member who joins the Shadows can complete up to fifteen missions in the Shadows, and none of these tasks will be lower than A-level.

And this kind of system allows the detachment leader to know the information of the vast majority of the members of the dark department, so don't look at them as the lowest level of the dark leader, there are only about four or five people under his hands, but the actual power and status are extremely high, and strength and loyalty are extremely important and hard requirements, because in addition to the position of "detachment leader", the entire dark department only has the position of deputy captain.

This position was held by the captain of the first detachment of the dark department, and as for the chief captain, he did not - in fact, the Hokage.

This is also understandable, after all, unlike Shikamaru's previous life, the lowest-level ninja in the shadows is also a middle ninja, and in this world, the middle ninja is already a military unit that can independently perform battles and tasks, in terms of status and strength, it can be compared to a small army in Shikamaru's previous life.

Equivalent to status and power, it is the responsibility of the detachment leader, they are the direct superiors of the members of the dark department, in order to protect the intelligence and identity of their subordinates, they need to do a lot of work, especially the addition of a new member, which is the most troublesome thing.

Equipment, uniforms, and ordinances are the easiest steps to receive, and Tenzo only needs to take the order to the department and take it directly to Shikamaru.

There are only a few troublesome points, and that is the acquisition of masks, tattoos and code names.

Any successful organization with high cohesion and combat effectiveness will not lack a goal, belief, or its own characteristic culture that its members strive for.

Interests, honors, beliefs.

The collective values such as nationalism and patriotism preached by various countries in Shikamaru's previous life, or the corporate culture of some excellent corporate companies, are all in the service of this.

Some people think that this is brainwashing, but in fact it is a very ridiculous view, this is an obligation and consciousness, human beings cannot leave the power of the collective, without it they are nothing, while receiving the protection of the collective lì, while refusing to contribute their own strength to it, this kind of person is not even as good as ants.

Of course, the dark department has its own culture and beliefs, and even because it cannot see the light of day in most occasions, it needs this kind of culture that belongs to its own department even more to give all members a firm belief.

The salary of the Shadow Department is not much higher than the salary of other positions in Konoha Village, but don't forget, they also have a temporary position, and the salary of this position is also owned by the members of the Dark Department.

And joining the dark department, not to mention the tasks completed during the job, is also a qualification in itself, which is of great benefit to the future.

This is to unite the interests of the members of the dark department.

In Konoha Village, the Torture Department and the Intelligence Department may have a dispute over the responsibilities involved, which of the two departments is more efficient? And who is more important in the members of the medical emergency squad and the corpse disposal squad that are also composed of medical ninjas? Some departments with equal composition and competing work content will always be a topic of debate among the villagers of Konoha Village, and they will blush and have thick necks over the departments they support, but when it comes to the strongest combat department in Konoha Village, everyone can reach a consensus.

Composed of the most potential and excellent ninjas, directly under the Hokage, the dark part that is still ready for battle in peacetime is the deepest hidden and sharpest blade in Konoha Village.

The best in Konoha Village, and the most excellent.

The dark part is so educated and informed to every member, and it is also what every member says to themselves in their hearts at all times.

That's the power of honor.

As for faith, changing the soup is not just changing the medicine, it is still the will of fire in Konoha Village.

People in the dark tend to yearn for the light, and human beings often like to find excuses to excuse themselves when they do evil things, and it is precisely because they can't see the light that they need a nobler reason to comfort themselves.

One qiē is all for Konoha Village.

They are the unsheathed blades of Konoha Village in peacetime, and the unsung heroes who ensure the prosperity of Konoha Village are the focus of the education of the dark department.

If you want to understand these three points, then Tianzo's prudence can be somewhat understood.

The beliefs and culture of the Shadows make it necessary for all members of the Shadows to be more "special" than the other departments.

Compared to leather armor, the suspender is not only to ensure better mobility for the members of the Shadows who often carry out secret missions, but also to assert that they are superior to ordinary ninjas.

Special tattoos are also to indicate their status, such as Kakashi Hachiki and other ninjas who left from the shadows, even if they intellectually understand that revealing this kind of tattoo will attract the attention of the hostile ninja village ninja and add a lot of unnecessary dangers, they still will not deliberately hide this, it is nothing more than the inner sense of honor that plays a role.

Codes and masks are the key to preserving the personal will of the members and making them aware of their sense of honor as an indispensable member of the organization.

Everyone can choose an animal to make their own mask, and the code name to join the dark department can also be chosen by themselves, and the role of the team leader at this time is to let the new members understand this, and at the same time prevent the new members from inadvertently revealing their true identity information from the details of the mask and code name.

Shikamaru quietly listened to Tenzo's explanation, thinking in his heart, and after hearing Tenzo's explanation, he nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.

The two of them are now in Tenzo's home, and ninjas rarely advocate enjoyment, and the amazing will to endure difficult conditions is something they are proud of, and this characteristic is also shown in Tenzo's house. It's not simple, but it doesn't have anything to do with luxury, with a lot of wooden furniture, pottery and wooden handicrafts, which seem to have been made by Tenzo himself in his spare time.

Shikamaru thought slowly, he didn't think that the Shadow Ministry's move was meaningless, and a person's attitude towards Konoha Village, and towards the Shadow Department itself could also be seen from the choice.

In other words, with the nature of the Shikamaru traverser, he is actually a little unimpressed by this, but if it seems to be a random choice, it shows that kind of alienation, and the attitude of not caring about the organization, the punishment can't be talked about, but for the dark part of Konoha Village, a ninja who has no basic centripetal force for the organization is more dangerous.

After thinking for a moment, Shikamaru chose "Ape" as his mask.

Perhaps the other members would prefer to choose some more representative animals to show their special and style, such as the ferocity of the tiger, the strength of the bear, the cunning of the fox, and the cruelty of the wolf, but Shikamaru cares about this.

However, the "ape" is really not distinctive, and Tenzo thought that Shikamaru would choose the "deer", the symbol of the Nara clan.

Of course, Tenzo didn't know that the education of his previous life told Shikamaru that the people of that world had evolved from "apes" and had become a more advanced creature far beyond other lifeforms, and this mask could warn Shikamaru that he was not yet perfect, and that he had not been able to truly transcend his current form, transforming from "ape" to "man".

His code name is "Urashima", which comes from the myth of "Urashima Taro" in his previous life.

…………

There is nothing special about the material of the mask itself, what is important is the meaning that the mask represents, and it does not take much time to make it.

So when Shikamaru decided on his mask, Tenzo took the mask directly when he got the uniform for him and brought it back to Shikamaru.

It was an ape mask with minimal ornamentation, not delicate, but it was also somewhat recognizable as an animal.

A circular cavity is dug out of the eyes, the mouth is caged, and the bottom of the eyes has two red lines like waves, which seem to be folds on the skin of apes, and above each of the eyes there are three red lines that imitate the folds of orangutan skin, and the ends extend into the under-eye lines.

Other than that, Shikamaru's mask has no extra patterns.

Shikamaru was quite satisfied with this, especially when he turned his head to look at Tenzo's fancy feline mask.

The two had already left Tenzo's home, and after Shikamaru got the equipment from the Shadows, Tenzo ordered him to put on his uniform and armour, bring a ninja sword and mask, and go with him to the Shadows base.

The production of the tattoo has to be completed in this base, and it is also to lead Shikamaru to understand the environment of the shadows.

Shikamaru had already untied his Nara clan's iconic braid and braided it into a simple ponytail that hung down to the back of his head, but now he was indistinguishable from a dark man except for the empty skin on his left arm.

The base of the Dark Department is built underground, if you don't want to be known to outsiders, this is the most secret kind of location, there is a long walkway before leading to the gate, empty and without extra cover, any outsider who wants to enter the Dark Department needs to pass through here, and this terrain is destined to have a difficult place to hide.

Unless you use ninjutsu, then the enchantment in the dark base will be activated.

"Here we are." Tenzo, who had been walking silently with Shikamaru, suddenly stopped and whispered.

Shikamaru, who was thinking in his heart and felt wary because of the eyes hidden in the shadows along the way before, suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes fell on the few lines of large characters on the deep stone wall above the gate for the first time.

Shu is all over the world, and the volume is not full.

Ten big characters are deep on the hard stone wall, one stroke at a time, as if the solid stone wall is just thin paper, Shikamaru's eyes shrank, and then he noticed the slightly smaller signature below, neither declaring his prominent position, nor showing his special name, only four words - a thousand hands.

("Shu is all over the world, and the volume is not full of arms.") "From the "Three Strategies", which means "filling the entire space when opened, less than a cup when put away", it is actually a bit nondescript to use alone, but I still think that it is much more suitable to use it as an inscription on the dark part of the thousand hands, than "the good keeper hides under the ...... of the nine places". ）
