Chapter 4: Kakashi's Shadow Mission

Nasty spiders...

The four of them wearing Konoha dark battle uniforms walked through the forest, and Aono Unma, who was at the end of the line, let out this sigh in his heart.

I don't know what's going on, there are a lot more spiders on the road today than usual, is it a psychological effect?

When this mission is over, be sure to go to the hot spring town to soak in the hot springs...

If you do a big survey of all the ninjas, and the survey is about the most hated animal, the spider will most likely be selected in first place.

The fastest way for a ninja to move long distances is undoubtedly through the forest canopy.

In the canopy, in addition to the branches, the spider webs are the ninja's path.

In particular, the special combat suit in the dark part of Konoha exposes the position of the shoulder, and the feeling that the spider silk sticks to the skin and cannot be shaken off, which is very uncomfortable.

Every time he returns from a mission, Aono Unma can pull out a ball of spider silk from his body, and then wash away seven or eight spiders when he takes a bath, which is nothing new.

If he could, Aono would love to wipe out all the spiders in the world.

Unfortunately this is not possible.

In this world with a developed forest system, the total weight of spiders should be the heaviest except for ants, and their footprints and field of vision occupy almost the entire land mass.

...

Suddenly, the dark ninja in front of him, who was the leader of the team, stopped on a thick branch, and the three dark ninjas in the back, including Aono Unma, also stopped immediately.

"The mountain ahead is where the bandits are stationed, and the primary goal of our mission this time is to find out the intelligence of this gang of bandits, and now we will start to explain the plan of action..."

Under the assignment of this dark elite named Kakashi, the team of four was divided into groups of two, with Aono Unma following Kakashi to infiltrate from the front of the bandit's lair, and the other two in a group of two, infiltrating from the back of the bandit's lair.

With the course of action explained, Kakashi took the map back and gave one final admonition.

"There's a good chance that this gang of bandits has a ninja who is proficient in illusion, and if you come across him, remember not to fight him head-on, our priority is just to gather intelligence."

"Scatter!"

Four black shadows scurried out in both directions.

...

Although he has entered the bandit's sphere of influence, Kakashi, who is in the front, is still thinking about the words of the three generations of Hokage.

"Kakashi, the task given to you this time is very difficult."

The three generations of Hokage smoked their pipes when they assigned the task for a long time, which shows that the arrangement of this task is also very entangled in the hearts of the three generations of Hokage.

"It's said that the bandits have a powerful illusion ninja, right?" Kakashi, who was kneeling on one knee, asked as he looked up at the back of the three Hokages.

"Hmm." The third generation Hokage nodded, "When I arranged this task, I already considered that there might be ninjas among the bandits, so I asked the oil girl Zhixin, who had just been promoted to a middle ninja, to lead the two shinobi in the same class to carry out this task, but I didn't expect it to be a mistake." ”

"What about the oil girl's ambition? How is he now? "It's Kakashi's habit to gather enough intel before the mission begins.

"I'm currently being treated by a medical class, but still..."The Mitsuyo Hokage turned his head to look out the window, "It's a very powerful illusion. ”

"When you are so far away from the caster, you can't even dissolve the illusion, and the elite illusion ninjas in the village can't use the ordinary illusion solution to dispel the illusion."

"It's rare..."

Kakashi noticed that the words of the three generations of Hokage were not unseen, but rare, indicating that the three generations of Hokage still had some ideas of their own about the origin of this illusion.

"In short, this mission will be very dangerous, be sure to pay attention to your own safety!"

"Yes."

...

This gang of bandits calls themselves a country of bandits, and judging from the ideas of external propaganda, they are trying in vain to establish a country that belongs to bandits, but in fact they are just an ordinary bandit group that burns, kills, and loots.

According to the information of the mission client, the number of this bandit group is no more than fifty people, and no ninjas have been found in it, so this mission was set as a C-level ordinary extermination mission when it was released.

Normally, this kind of quest can be issued to an experienced shinobi class, after all, no matter how strong an ordinary person is, it can't be compared to a ninja who can use chakra.

But the three generations of Hokage made an exception this time and handed it over to a class with a middle ninja, the purpose should be to train the command ability of the newly promoted middle ninja.

Unexpectedly, the other party's bandit group also has a ninja, and the strength should be the upper ninja.

It was this upper ninja who defeated the oil girl Zhixin class, captured two lower ninjas, and missed the only middle ninja.

That's all about Aono's analysis of this mission.

And now there are four Konoha Shadow Ninjas on my side!

The threshold for the internship of the Konoha Shadow Department is the middle ninja level, but the ninjas who can officially enter the Konoha Dark Department are at least very good ninjas, and the ninja named Kakashi next to him is the elite of the upper ninja, and he became a genius who became the captain of the dark part at the age of fifteen!

Three upper ninjas plus one genius upper ninja, in the face of one upper ninja, the strength should be completely crushed.

But with such a crushing advantage, why is Kakashi next to him so cautious, looking at the closed door of the bandit and doing the most thoughtful reconnaissance.

Now Aono Yunma really wants to complete the task quickly, and then shoot off the spiders on his body, these spiders have been attached to him all the way, which is really unpleasant.

"Alright, let's go inside."

Kakashi did a good job of scouting around the gates of the bandit camp, but found no sentry or any ambush.

This is not normal.

Just been attacked by Konoha ninjas, and let one of them go, how can he still be unsuspecting? Aren't you worried that Konoha Village will send someone back to retaliate?

Despite his doubts, Kakashi jumped into the bandits' camp from a towering tree with Aono Unma.

As soon as they landed in the bandits' camp, Kakashi and Aono saw a corpse at their feet.

A corpse lying under a wooden fence.

Aono Yunma stepped forward and turned the corpse over, only to see a horizontal blood mark on the corpse's throat.

"The fatal wound is here, it looks like the ninja's kunai was inflicted."

Kakashi nodded in response, but at this point Kakashi's attention was more focused on the corpse itself.

Judging that this is a human corpse based on the limbs and head alone is extremely imprecise.

Judging from the outfit, it's okay for this corpse to be a bandit in the bandit group, but this corpse is very weird.

The corpse did not have a single hair on its head, and it did not look like a natural bald head, but fell out.

The facial features of the corpse were very blurred, and the thin lips and flat nose did not have any three-dimensional effect, like two pitch-black holes and a slit of flesh growing on the face.

In addition to this, the skin of the corpse was also very abnormal.

The skin lines don't look like those of humans, and the scales of a fingernail look like fish scales, and the "scales" of the white flowers reflect a little silver light in the moonlight.

And for some reason, Kakashi found a puddle of slime underneath the corpse.

The slime seeped into the dirt, but it didn't dry up, and as Aono turned the body over, fine strings were pulled from his side.

Kakashi looked up and saw dozens of identical corpses lying on the ground in the camp.
