Chapter 35 Mist Blade Squad!
Chapter 35 Mist Blade Squad!
Without a doubt, the list provided by my uncle was extremely challenging.
The ghost lamp is full moon, the dried persimmon is Kisame, and the ring is full of rain.
Three of the Second Generation Seven Ninja Swordsmen arrived, each more powerful and more talented than the last.
The other two need no further explanation.
He was just wanted by Konoha and appeared on the village's gold wanted list, with a bounty higher than Asuma's.
The other one is a medical ninja from the Yuki clan!
As is well known, medical ninjas have always been a rare commodity in the ninja world.
Putting aside innate talent, mastering medical ninjutsu requires extremely precise chakra control, extensive professional knowledge, and the mind and perseverance to put it into practice. One must also have a calm and composed mind when facing casualties and groans in war.
Various limitations made medical ninjas extremely rare, becoming alchemists in the ninja world.
This Minazuki Yuki not only awakened the Ice Release bloodline limit, but also mastered medical ninjutsu, making her invaluable.
The problem is, apart from Ao and Minazuki Yuki, the other three are still little Lakarami!
He originally thought that he was invincible by leading Manyue on this mission deep behind enemy lines, but he didn't expect there to be other experts out there.
The clan leader is indeed the clan leader, awesome!
"Uncle, these kids combined aren't even as old as my shoe size. I'm going to the front lines to fight, not for a picnic!"
Seeing the bitter look on Gouju Makoto's face, Gouju Teru picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and wore a meaningful smile.
"Cheng'er, do you think I'm senile if you become the clan leader?"
"Actually, it's precisely because they're young and have great potential that I want to entrust them to you!"
"Full Moon goes without saying, he'll be Hozuki's pillar of strength in the future. Ringo Ameyuri possesses a lightning release talent that's one in a century, the hope for the Ringo clan's revival. Kisame Hoshigaki is an absolute genius; although he's only ten years old, his chakra is already comparable to that of an ordinary Jonin!"
"These children are the seeds of hope for their respective tribes. Don't you understand why I put them in your squad?"
"...Bind on?"
Gouju Cheng understands this perfectly well, but it's really difficult.
Although this mission is dangerous, as long as we can successfully carry out a few sabotage operations, it will be a real achievement and qualification.
These young men have risks following him, but they also have many more opportunities!
For their families as well, it's also an investment, a...
Stand in line!
"So my little team is a 'gilded class' and a political social club."
"That's one way to understand it."
Teruhime Gokuji stated frankly, "Hozuki, Hoshigaki, and Ringo are all powerful clans in Kirigakure. Although Ao comes from a commoner background, he managed to obtain the Byakugan and successfully transplant it, demonstrating both shrewdness and skill; his future is limitless. As for the Yuki clan, there's no need to elaborate!"
"This time, the three of them will be your future core team. As for Ao and Minazuki Yuki, it would be best if you could recruit them. If not, they will still be a great help in this mission."
"With them by your side, it's as if you have a portion of their power standing behind you. After the war ends, your influence will be much greater. Coupled with Yagura, the prestige and influence of our Karatachi clan will reach their absolute peak!"
Of course, all of this is predicated on Makoto Kuraki being able to complete the mission and... bring them back alive.
Dead people have no value.
Gouju Cheng patted the list in his hand, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
He originally wanted to bring a baby who was a full moon old, but since the clan chief had already said so much, he obviously couldn't refuse.
However, the squad is fully equipped with all the necessary skills: assault, attack, reconnaissance, and healing.
Forget it, I'll bring them if I can, otherwise I'll just leave them with my cousin.
"Alright, these will do."
"But Uncle, swords and spears are silent on the battlefield, and I can't possibly protect you in every situation. If you don't survive, don't blame me."
"That's natural."
Kujira nodded, his smile gradually fading: "The path of a ninja is inherently fraught with danger. This mission is not only your opportunity, but also theirs."
"Whether they can catch them or not depends on their own fate. You just need to do what the captain should do."
"OK."
Gouju Cheng nodded: "Then I'll go see these precious kids first. When and where?"
"I will have someone notify them early tomorrow morning at training ground number three outside the village."
"Okay."
……
The following morning, outside Kirigakure Village, at Training Ground No. 3.
Here, close to the coast, the terrain is open, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, howls past, making the flagpoles at the edge of the training ground flutter.
The ground was specially treated hard soil, with some wooden stakes and targets scattered around for practice.
After the sun was high in the sky and the village fog had dissipated somewhat under the bright sunlight, Makoto Koji arrived.
When he strolled into the training field, five figures had clearly been waiting for him for a long time.
"Oh, everyone's here. Looks like you all have good discipline and didn't keep this captain waiting too long."
"...You're almost two hours late!"
Full Moon glared at Gouju Cheng through gritted teeth.
They agreed to meet at six in the morning, and he got up early with great enthusiasm, but now the sun is already high in the sky and it's almost lunchtime when Gouju Cheng finally arrives late.
That's outrageous!
The others also looked at Makoto Koji with unfriendly expressions.
Although ninjas are known for their exceptional endurance, who would be happy to stand there for so long and endure the cold wind all morning?
"Oh dear, I got a little lost on the path of life this morning." Makoto Karatachi's gaze swept lightly over the group as he said with a smile, "Besides, I didn't say when we'd meet, did I?"
"Lord Hui sent someone to say..."
"It's not like he's the one leading you on the mission."
Gouju Cheng's words silenced Manyue's rebuttal.
He strolled slowly to the five people, his languid purple eyes scanning each of them.
Standing at the very front was Hozuki Mangetsu, holding the White Fang Short Sword. No words were needed. Beside him was a boy with a face, skin, and sharp teeth that resembled a shark.
He carried a ninja sword on his back, his eyes were calm, and he stood there silently, his demeanor unusually composed for a child his age.
Kisame Hoshigaki.
Makoto Goji lingered on him for a moment.
Although this guy is only eleven years old, his calm aura and the faint chakra fluctuations he exudes are already quite impressive. In the original work, he is a tailless tailed beast whose chakra is comparable to that of a tailed beast!
Kisame seemed to notice Makoto Karatachi's gaze, raised his eyes and grinned, revealing a pair of shark fangs.
On Kisame's other side was a slender girl with long, reddish-brown hair.
She crossed her arms, a senbon stick dangling from her mouth, her eyes sharp, radiating a manic aura that kept strangers at bay, making her look like a tomboyish, rebellious young woman.
Lin Jiaoyu Yuri, the genius of lightning escape, the future heir of Thunder Sword Fang!
Besides the three little ones, there was also Qing, who wore a mist-covered headband, had a white bandage wrapped around his right eye, and had a calm expression, as well as a woman dressed in light blue with a cool and aloof demeanor.
Minazuki Yuki, a medical ninja from the Yuki clan!
