With the strong wind howling in their ears, the gray vests wearing Konoha cat-face masks maintained a formation of one in front and three in back, moving at high speed among the dense virgin forest.

At first glance, it seems that ANBU masks have no rules, but people who have received ANBU training can at least distinguish between friend and foe.

For example, Konoha's masks are all based on animals like cats and are derived from them. Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water chose the theme of waves. Most of the colorful lines symbolize waves and tides. More importantly, the Kirigakure Village logo was added.

This team is the team sent by Danzo to the Kingdom of Waves with the goal of obtaining the decapitating sword. As for why such a strange mission was issued, Sakichi guessed that it was probably related to Danzo's body or experiments.

This guy's behavior pattern is actually easy to guess. He is a very typical egoist. Everything he does now is to improve his strength, ensure his health, and get the position of Hokage.

Danzo has not shown up for such a long time. Danzo probably has a bottleneck on the issue of cell transplantation between Senju Hashirama, and the special function of the decapitating sword is

"It can absorb the iron in the enemy's blood, thereby repairing itself and absorbing the blood to restore physical strength, so it is regarded as an unbreakable sword."

In other words, this is a complete system of energy absorption, transformation and storage, and it has effects on living things like humans or dead things like weapons. Obtaining this beheading knife may provide some reference for how to use the first generation of cells. For Danzo, whether it is Uchiha's eyes or the first-generation cells, they are just tools, and the decapitating sword is also a tool. Thinking about it this way, the role of reference is really obvious.

If Danzo knew the magic of Samehada, he would probably also covet it.

However, he and Samehada had no connection. When Kisame Akisaki was all over the map catching wild animals, Danzo didn't know its whereabouts. The war has broken out, and it is even more difficult to catch Kisame Kisaki. What's more, Danzo has already completed the balance between the two powers of Uchiha and Senju. He who feels invincible in the world may not even look down on him. That kind of thing.

Returning to the task at hand, Sakichi's team, in addition to the powerful captain Jubei, also has a sentient ninja named Gen, and a chuunin named Shokan who is good at ninja tools.

Just by hearing the names, you can tell that they are all fake. People like them probably rarely appear in front of others. At least Zoji has no way of matching them with someone he knows.

The first person to go forward is Sensing Ninja Gen. He is a ninja who is good at using psychic beasts for investigation. According to Sakichi's speculation, he should have some intersection with the crow users of Yamashiro Aoba, and even learn from the same origin. What he channeled was a falcon-like bird with sharp eyes and the ability to communicate simple information through its calls while maintaining a certain distance from the illusion.

Very much like a Druid.

As for the general, Sakichi often met him in ANBU, and he was also a senior "gen", but he didn't expect that his specialty would be in the area of ​​ninja tools. His appearance is somewhat similar to Sakichi, and he carries a long sword similar to Moonlight Hayate and a huge scroll on his back.

On the contrary, it was Jubei who was the burliest and the most agile in moving. In addition to being good at physical skills, more importantly, he did not carry so many odds and ends.

"Stop" As Huan clenched his palm into a fist, everyone stopped.

The coastline in the distance has been vividly seen, with white sandy beaches and silvery waves. Underneath the beauty, there are hidden rough waves.

"The front is the territory of the Kingdom of Waves. Be sure to stay vigilant. If you encounter a ghost, Buza, retreat immediately." Jubei's words were decisive. When performing the mission, only one voice was needed in the team.

Danzo has always used ninjas as tools, but he is also aware of the wear and tear of tools. For example, in this mission, the decapitating sword is only something that may be helpful to him, and he will try his best to get it without paying any price.

But a realistic person like Danzo would not be willing to waste the useful "tools" in his hands in exchange for unknown benefits. It would be fine if they were some insignificant cannon fodder, but Jubei is considered his direct descendant, sentient ninjas are also scarce resources, and Sakichi is also a chess piece that can be used in the future. If this team is really to be folded here, Danzo still has to Think twice, think twice, think twice, so he also gave Jubei a certain right to act expediently, and allowed them to retreat if things couldn't be done.

Konoha is in a troubled time, not to mention Sarutobi, even Danzo's people have become stretched thin. What's more, there is another incident that has made Danzo anxious recently. A large number of people are involved near the village.

Danzo's instructions were also the main reason why Jubei did not confront Zabuza head-on. That was Kakashi's mission, not to mention that Konoha had already arranged a support team, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had already arranged people who were enough to fight Zabuza. , there is no need to take this risk yourself.

"Hi", everyone had no objection to the captain's decision. Most of the time when a ninja goes out on a mission, he must be aware of his own mortality, but if he can survive, who wouldn't want to live well?

The Country of Waves is an island country with complex topography, numerous rivers, and abundant water resources, resulting in a landscape of high mountains and dense forests. After crossing the strait and landing successfully, you only need to follow the criss-crossing waterways to reach various villages in the Country of Waves.

At the same time, two guys dressed like ordinary merchants had just arrived at the port of the Country of Waves by boat. They were carrying bamboo baskets on their backs and holding crutches. One tall, one short, one foot deep and one foot shallow, towards the depths of the island. Move forward.

"Why did you choose the location of the joint here?" the short man complained as he walked.

"Because that guy has to perform a mission here," the tall man explained, "What's more, we can also pay a visit to Kado. He is a big donor. He contributes a lot of heavenly gold to Lord Kujo every year. It's Our valued partner.”

"I see, it's no wonder that Lord Kujo rejected requests to build bridges and facilitate trade several times." The short man paused for a moment while holding the cane in his hand, and spoke with a clear tone.

"Of course, monopoly is the most profitable way. We should be thankful that there is no soil for ninjas to survive in this tiny place. Otherwise, Konoha's influence here will definitely make the implementation of our plan even more difficult."

"But I have received news that Cardo seems to have hired powerful rebel ninjas through underground channels." As he spoke, the short man moved his body closer to the taller man and lowered his tone, as if he was telling some secret. .

"Where there is oppression, there will naturally be resistance. Rebellion is the best way to deal with problems. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. As for what you said, a very powerful ninja can only explain the problems he encounters. It's just a bit tricky." The tall and thin man could see clearly.

"No, that's the mission that guy needs to perform."

"If you say so, it's not impossible. Then we need to see Kado more." After hearing the little man's reminder, the tall and thin man quickened his pace.
