The people in the hiding place did not know about this. Even the other ninjas in the Hidden Fog Village did not know about this. The only surviving sentry lost sleep on the tree for the entire night. The next day, he threw away his forehead guard and ninja gear and picked up a set of tattered civilian clothes. He sailed the boat towards the middle of the sea and disappeared.
The Dark Group followed the plan and ambushed the ninjas of Hidden Fog Village who were collecting supplies the next day. Although they had the right time, the right place, and the right people, they still lost more than ten people, which made Iruka speechless. On the third day, the Hidden Fog troops stationed in the village gathered the remaining people and began to retreat to the seaside dock. The Dark Group began to pursue, and the twelve rookies followed behind under the lead of the four Jounin to observe the battle. However, what they saw was that
The people from Hidden Fog Village came to the dock first and found that the place was in a mess. It was as if a strong earthquake had happened. The ground was shattered, and none of their people had appeared.
The members of the Dark Forces hiding in the bushes behind them were also dumbfounded, especially the troops who had come to investigate before.
"What happened?" The leader of the Dark Group asked the scouting team.
" I don't know," the scout replied." When we came here two days ago, it was still flat ground. There were two houses by the sea and a bridge. There were six boats parked by the bridge.”
"What about the house and the boat?" The leader of the Dark Group asked.
"How would I know?" the reconnaissance team said.
" Forget it," the leader of the Dark Group said." The enemy is in a mess now. Let's go!”
The signal to attack was sent out, and more than a hundred members of the Dark Group rushed forward. Kuna, Shuriken, and all kinds of water and fire flew towards the enemy. Then, they pulled out their long swords and fought with the enemy.
Iruka and the other teachers took the opportunity to explain,""Look, the people of the Hidden Fog Village all like to use knives. Of course, in close combat, it's also very important to have a weapon that's suitable for both attack and defense. In the future, you can also choose a suitable weapon according to your own characteristics.”
"Spiral Ball!"
"Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wooden Leaf Whirlwind!"
"Sixty-four Palms of the Eight Trigrams!"
"Rising Dragon!"
"Flesh Bomb Tank!"
"Soft Fist!"
"Tongya!"
The Genin used their own moves and attacked these people. Because the enemies were too few in number, and they were all middle-class and low-class, they were quickly dealt with. Immediately after, the battle on the Dark Group's side also ended. Although they had the right timing, the right place, and the right people, they still suffered a loss of dozens of people. Iruka was too lazy to complain about their combat strength.
But no matter what, Muye had won. The captives they had captured had clearly stated the purpose of the Hidden Fog Village. They had thought that Muye would be greatly weakened after the invasion, so they had thought of taking advantage of the situation. Who knew that they would be attacked by Mu Ye halfway? Of course, this wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was where the hundred people and the six big ships at the dock had gone?
When they were about to return to Muye with the captives, Aizawa and White were waiting for them at Friendship Bridge to send them off. Iruka saw that there were two more people behind these two. They were
"Not bad, kid. You managed to master the second stage of the Spiral Ball.”Kirai greeted Naruto first.
"Lord Selaiya? Lord Okami?" The others were all stunned. Some of them who had never seen them before asked who these two people were.
"The second stage?" Naruto asked, puzzled. Isn't it the first stage?"
"Hahahahaha! I lied to you before, but I didn't expect you to really learn it.”Zilai also said," I saw your battle at the dock. That chakra is really something. You're really talented to be able to do this in such a short time.”
"Then, how should I practice the next stage?"”
Zirai took out a balloon, blew it up, and handed it to Naruto."In the next stage, you need to condense as many chakras as before. Furthermore, you have to gather all of these chakras in this balloon and not let the balloon burst.”
" Don't let the balloon burst." Naruto took the balloon." I understand."”
"Once you reach this step, you will have completely mastered it.”Zi Lai added.
"Do you accept disciples?" Naruto asked again.
"When you've mastered it, come and find me."”
Naruto nodded. The rest of the people exchanged greetings with No Beheading and White and confirmed that Mu Ye would send ninjas to help the Country of Waves build a ninja village, as well as the alliance between the two countries.
The group returned to Woodleaf Village and reported the results of the battle to Kakashi. Kakashi first affirmed everyone's efforts, then let the Dark Group go back to rest first, leaving Iruka and the other four Jounin in the office.
He watched the figures of the Dark Forces leave and walked back from the window. His expression changed."What do you think of the combat strength of the Dark Group?”
"Ah?" Maitekai was a little confused, but Asma immediately understood what he meant."I don't think so."
" Yes," Kakashi said." Actually, the current Dark Group has a huge problem.”
" In reality, many of them are at the level of a middle-class ninja," Sunset Red said." The highest level they can reach is a super-class ninja. It's impossible to expect them to be like us."”
Kakashi: " That's the reason, but I don't think we can give them a reason. The Dark Group is our main fighting force. The number of Jounins in a village is limited. It's already considered a lot to have dozens of Jounins like us. However, war was not a one-on-one battle. In many cases, it was still dependent on numbers to win. However, the current combat strength of our Dark Group is really uneven.”
"I think it has something to do with their duties.”
"Duty?" Kakashi said," Tell me the details."
Iruka continued," Think about it. They have to carry out war missions on the surface and carry out sneak attacks and assassinations in the dark. They also have to be responsible for protecting important people. Usually, any Jounin can mobilize them if anything happens. Even after Uchiha's family was exterminated, they were in charge of the security of the village. They were in charge of everything from foreign invaders to hooligans fighting. Although they also had internal groups, this group was too unclear. Moreover, different groups usually trained together, so it was normal for their combat strength to be inferior.”
"Yes! As soon as you said it, I understood. This is indeed our current situation. I had an idea after hearing what you said.”
The four of them watched as Kakashi sat back down on the table, unfolded the paper, and picked up the pen." I plan to select the elites of the Dark Group and some Jounin who are usually idle in the village to form a new army."Let's call it 'Root'!"
As he spoke, he wrote a big 'root' on the paper.
"If the other ninjas of Muye are the branches and leaves that are exposed to the ground, then this elite team of the Dark Group is the root that is deeply buried underground. They are our trump card. In the future, all missions involving combat, sneak attacks, and assassinations would be completed by 'Root'.”
" It seems that the " Root " organization has appeared," Iruka thought. Although the time and the founder were very different, at least they still appeared. He looked at the word " root " Kakashi had written on the paper and complained in his heart. The word was really ugly.
The other three Jounin had the same expression.
