Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 91 The Shadow-Hunting Force?

If the Root ninjas surprised Shikaku, Dai's outburst made him start thinking about the Konoha ninja promotion system.

Being an all-rounder... virtually no ninja can achieve that, and skills like sensory perception and medical ninjutsu have extremely high barriers to entry.

Ninjas operate in small teams to compensate for each other's weaknesses.

Genin who only know taijutsu are extremely easy targets on the battlefield, but if someone is this strong...

Shikaku glanced at Dai with a complex expression, then at the surprised looks on the faces of the audience, and said to Rasa, "Dai has been a genin in Konoha for decades, but today is the day when Konoha will get to know him again."

Dai is a celebrity in Konoha in a sense, and his green bodysuit has long been his trademark.

Many villagers didn't recognize Dai, but they recognized the green bodysuit. In their minds, he was just a noisy genin. But after today, that would no longer be the case...

Nara Shikaku, head of the Nara clan, and class representative of the Konoha Jonin.

Recalling Shikaku's information, Rasa nodded, his expression becoming complex, and sighed, "Konoha's foundation is truly profound."

It was indeed unbelievable that a mere genin could make him feel threatened, but Shikaku had no reason to lie to him about something like this.

It appears to be a forbidden technique that amplifies power.

If Konoha were to popularize it...

Rasa frowned as he imagined a group of ninjas dressed in green bodysuits, their bodies emitting blue steam, rushing towards him.

After watching Dai's matches, seeing that his opponents were all high-ranking Jonin-level "Genin" who were defeated by him, Rasa turned his attention to another female ninja who had appeared.

"I think I saw this ninja before, in front of Konoha Village. Wasn't she one of Yu's subordinates?"

The face looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen it before.

"That's right." Shikaku looked at Yekura with a complicated expression.

This ninja is different from the other seven Root ninjas; he has greater potential.

He is very skilled in the transformation of wind and fire, and can use various ninjutsu at will. He can also find wind-style ninjutsu from the Root organization, which means he was probably taught by Danzo himself.

Was he a close confidant of Danzo?

No wonder Yu kept her by his side to watch over her.

If the two nature changes can be combined to create a powerful bloodline limit, perhaps the strength can be further improved.

Standing nearby, Maki clicked his tongue and said, "Calling this guy a genin is a bit of a stretch."

That strange guy in the green bodysuit seems to only know taijutsu, so it's not surprising that he's stuck at the genin level. What's going on with this guy?

He felt that his overall strength might not be her match.

"Every family has its own problems." Facing Maki's questioning gaze, Shikaku casually said, "At least she was a genin before."

"The winner should be one of these two." Unable to recall who the Konoha genin resembled, Rasa collected his thoughts, silently observed the two for a moment, and walked out of the venue.

He didn't want to watch anymore. Putting aside the ninja named Dai, the next generation of Sunagakure didn't even have a potential candidate to rival the other female ninja.

Even after the death of the previous One-Tailed Jinchuriki, the vessel for the Tailed Beast has still not been found.

I was so foolish to even try to compete with Konoha in these areas. Konoha has always been a cradle of geniuses and strong individuals. How could it not have any outstanding ninjas?

The lack of young geniuses is probably because after the war with Kirigakure ended, young and talented ninjas had already been promoted to Chunin.

Rasa turned his gaze to Yakumaru, "Lord Yakumaru, please show me around Konoha from now on."

"it is good."

……

"Did that guy send us here just to be stepping stones?!"

At the edge of the arena, Kushimaru Kurihara, his appearance drastically changed, looked pale and gloomy as he glanced at his teammates who were either defeated by Yekura or Dai, and said resentfully, "Are you just going to let him toy with us like this?"

"What's there to complain about after being given a second chance at life?" Raiga Kurosugi said calmly.

"Hmph, you call that brat a tool? I think you're the tool!" Suigetsu Hozuki's face was equally gloomy. "We're not like you; we shamelessly and completely surrender to him."

"Aren't we just tools? We were before, and we are now, only the one in charge has changed."

Kurozuki Raiga chuckled coldly and said in a low voice, "Or do you want to go back to the village, given your current appearance?"

Upon hearing this, Suigetsu Hobutsu fell silent.

Their current appearance and physique are very different from before. In addition, news of their deaths has already spread throughout the ninja world. If they were to return to Kirigakure, they would probably be driven away and hunted down before they even saw the Kage.

The fog has vanished, leaving them nowhere to hide.

"He's right, we have no other choice." Pipa Juzo looked up at the sky and said softly, "If we don't follow that person, we have nowhere else to go."

They had no power to resist, nor any backing. If they betrayed Hyuga Yu, his subordinates could wipe them out.

There was no other choice but to do his best to serve Hyuga Yu.

Suigetsu Hobuki was somewhat unwilling, but after looking around at the others, he noticed that even Kushimaru Kurihara, who had initially resisted, was silent. Recalling the battle just now, his clenched fist loosened.

"What was the name of the spy unit he founded?"

"hidden."

Pipa Juzo said slowly, "Because the main task is espionage, there is no set number of personnel, but there will be eight small teams stationed as support units to help spies evacuate, infiltrate, and carry out other activities."

"Thirty-two people... that's half the number of the Dark Guard, huh."

Suigetsu Hozuki sneered, seemingly mocking something, "We're going to be split into multiple squads?"

"That's right."

Juzo Biwa glanced at Raiga Kurosuki, "But contrary to what you think, he won't be joining us. The six of us will be divided into two groups to work under each other."

Upon hearing this, Watermelon Pufferfish frowned.

I originally thought that they, along with that Sand Village ninja, would be the captains of the eight squads, but it turns out that these Jonin are just members? Then who is the squad captain?

"Yazaki Mikura is the captain of the fourth squad."

Seeing through his thoughts, Raiga Kurosuki added a comment.

Upon hearing this, Suigetsu Hobutsuki felt his lips were a little dry.

Despite losing both their ninja swords and their Scorching Release techniques, and being roughly equal in strength, Pakura defeated Kushimaru Kurihara and Juzo Biwa, demonstrating her considerable skill.

Although he was confident that he would not lose to his opponent when both were at their peak, what could he do when they didn't have ninja swords now?

As long as it's not used in public, the Scorching Escape technique can still be used, and it might even become possible to manifest it over time.

He had already thought of all the reasons. After studying Yekura's corpse, Konoha made a breakthrough in the research of Scorch Release, and then Yekura herself could openly use Scorch Release.

So when they faced her, they really lost a step.

If the four captains all use Yekura's strength as the standard, and considering these members, are they really just used for espionage?

Instead of... hunting shadows?

Suigetsu Hobutsu looked towards the audience.

He had heard about the conflict between the Fourth Kazekage and Pakura...

As Luo Sha walked outwards, he felt a chill run through his body.
