Konoha Thief

Chapter 173 S-Class Mission

Chapter 173 S-Class Mission

Shirai Ryo's injury was not serious, so although Shan Zhongfeng's medical ninjutsu was a little unreliable, it still saved Shirai Ryo's life.

Therefore, after a night of rest, the three of them set out on their way home, but the difference was that Shirai Ryo was carried all the way back to Konoha.

Enter the konoba through a hidden passage at the root, then go straight back to the root base.

Shirai Ryo's injuries needed treatment, so he was sent directly to the medical room, and then Xia Shu and Shan Zhongfeng came to the mission room.

"It's done very well." Ren put down the information scroll in his hand, and said calmly: "Take a day off and continue training tomorrow."

The two withdrew as promised.

Back in the dormitory area, Xia Shu recalled what happened yesterday, and shook his head with a wry smile after a long time.

"Anyway, that's out of my control. It's better to refine more chakras if I bother to worry about the third Hokage."

The root training is rigorous but the effect is remarkable. With a variety of secret medicines, Natsuki's chakra level at the moment has already reached the Chunin standard.

Even though this is still a drop in the bucket for the gradual increase in consumption, I have long been used to the accumulation of sand into a tower, but I am a little annoyed about it while daily refining chakra "filling holes".

During the next day's training, Xia Shu found that the number of ninjas had dropped sharply, and had not changed for a long time after that, which deepened the previous speculation.

There is no need to tell others about these things, you know what you should know, and you will never know what you should not know.

Besides, even if you know it, so what, even the ninja school has a death rate, and the roots hidden under Anbu will naturally not be easier than that.

Especially ninjas are self-proclaimed tools, and they generally ignore life, whether it is someone else's or their own.

After performing the mission for the first time, Shirai Ryo and Shan Zhongfeng formed a team with him, and the training of the internal competition and grouping was completely stopped after that. The initial 27 people stabilized at 15 people, forming five teams.

After the formation of the team, there is still competition among each other, but it is only transferred to the small team, and because of this procedural change, the root base can no longer be used as a training ground, and gradually enters the Muye Village, and even goes out of the village for training.

During the training process, all teams gradually take on tasks, and Xia Shu's team is no exception.

Initially it was C grade.

With Ryo Shirai's strategy, and Kazun Yamanakakaze's subtle mysticism, and Natsuki's execution ability, even if there is an emergency at this level of mission, it can be easily suppressed.

After the transition, it is mostly B-level.

Tasks of this level must be cautious, but with tacit cooperation, it can generally be pushed flat.

A-level and S-level, which have been performed the least number of times, can't be overly cautious. Except for the thrilling infiltration and intelligence missions, they are basically in dangerous situations and survived.

Time flies like an arrow, time flies by, half a year later, the final root examination begins!

On the training ground, all teams gather!

Xia Shu stood among them, beside Shirai Ryo whose face was no longer as pale as before, and Shan Zhongfeng who was restrained and taciturn.

Looking across the slightly empty training field, compared with half a year ago, these root candidates have reduced by two teams, leaving only three teams of nine!

On the guardrail of the stands on the second floor, several root ninjas wearing masks suddenly approached, looking down indifferently.

The figure of Danzo then quietly emerged, wearing the root standard clothing, with a chilling aura, as if he had just returned to the base.

"There is no need for useless people at all. People who fail the assessment have no value in living in this cruel world!" Danzo said this cold remark, and the murderous aura of the shadow class suddenly poured out. In an instant, the air seemed to freeze. Everyone on the field couldn't help but tremble all over.

"This is the task of this assessment." Ren held a scroll, but when he threw it, it turned into three.

Xia Shu took a scroll and handed it to Shirai Ryo beside him.

Shirai Ryo's strength is still very average after root training, and he can even be regarded as the floor of Chunin, but he has a good mind and flexible strategies. In the past cooperation, Natsuki was quite happy.

After many adjustments, the three members of the team have their own positions. Ryo Shirai is responsible for setting the strategy, Kaze Yamanaka senses ninjutsu to assist and control, and Natsuki checks for deficiencies and makes up for the omissions, and uses the strongest strength of the team as execution power. , turning strategy into reality.

No matter how high or low they are, the tacit cooperation is based on the same appeal, so they all use their strengths, and it is precisely because of this that they can leapfrog to complete A or even S-level tasks.

"As an assessment mission, this time is naturally S-level, and it is different from previous infiltration, assassination, and intelligence detection missions. This is an interception mission that will involve direct combat." Ren said indifferently: "So, this mission is not No longer is the action of a single team, but it is carried out jointly by your three teams."

"Yes!" The nine people responded in unison.

Anbu ninjas are different from ordinary ninjas in that they don't have the initiative to choose missions, while root ninjas don't even have the right to refuse missions.

At this moment, Natsuki and the others are not officially root ninjas, but as long as they succeed in this assessment, they will naturally be, so they have already formed the habit of not refusing.

"Then... loose!" Ren waved and shouted.

The three teams disappeared in an instant, and the air in the training ground was immediately thrown into chaos.

Danzo turned around and walked out slowly, saying indifferently: "Ryoma, follow up. If the final mission is completed, you can provide appropriate support. If the mission fails..."

The boy with the purple tattoo on his face, wearing sunglasses, nodded respectfully, and then disappeared on the spot in an instant.

Leaving Muye Village from the secret road, the three teams gathered in the forest outside the village.

"The mission target is now in the country of birds. To get there, we have to go through the country of rain." Hanazawa Heijiro's indifferent boy spoke first, and beside him were his teammates Fukuyama Hidemo and Shiraishi Tsukuru.

"The country of birds is a small country located in the gap between the country of earth and the country of wind. It is insignificant, but the country of rain is in frequent turmoil. It is easy to cause trouble if you step there rashly." One corner frowned and shook his head, beside him, the young but precocious Inuzuka Yuki nodded repeatedly, supporting his companion as always.

"You can borrow from the country of grass, but it will take a day and a night." Kobayashi Lihua, who rolled her eyes helplessly at Inuzuka Yuki, made a suggestion in her soft voice.

"We don't have that much time to waste." Bai Jingliang denied it directly, squinted his eyes, and said solemnly: "Actually, the key point of this mission is very clear, that is, the power of the target is far greater than ours, so we must Grasp all the advantages that can be occupied, and time is one of them!"
