Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

The morning sun, gentle and mild, streamed through the window into a cozy room.

On the wide bed, a man and woman slept naked in each other's arms.

The room's disarray and the woman's love bites were evidence of the newlyweds' passionate night.

Eventually, the glaring sunlight roused the couple from their embrace.

Garura saw her husband's face close to hers, his eyes filled with passionate intent. Memories of his bold advances flooded her mind, and her cheeks flushed crimson. She attempted to rise and serve her husband, the Kazekage, but he pulled her back down, kissing her deeply. It was nearly an hour before the room fell silent again.

"Rest well..."

Watching her husband tuck her into bed and urge her to rest before leaving, Garura felt a flicker of confusion.

Her husband had changed so much, but Garura didn't dislike it. In fact...

"I love it!"

After whispering those words, Garura, weak and flushed, buried her face in the blankets.

They were filled with her husband's scent.

Rōra was unaware of the events at home.

After a night of vigorous activity, Rōra felt more relaxed than ever before.

It was as if the pent-up stress from his sudden transmigration into the world of Naruto during the past half-month had been released. He felt refreshed, and even sensed a slight increase in his chakra.

Upon returning to the Kazekage's office, Rōra resumed his busy schedule.

As the Kazekage, he had many responsibilities.

Especially after this operation.

The paperwork requiring his review and signature was overwhelming!

Unfortunately, very few people in Sunagakure were trustworthy enough to assist him with these trivial matters.

He also needed to prepare for upcoming plans.

Fortunately, his current mood was cheerful, so he didn't feel particularly tired.

However, he still needed to find a solution.

He didn't want to become like Naruto in Boruto, crushed by the village's workload.

Just then, Maki knocked and entered.

"Kazekage-sama, I've found the candidates you requested yesterday!"

"Very well! Send them in!"

Shortly after, Maki led twelve masked Anbu ninja into the office, where they knelt before Rōra.

"Remove your masks!"

Even Maki could sense that the Kazekage's mood was unusually pleasant; his tone lacked its usual coldness and held a hint of warmth.

Nevertheless, the Anbu ninja didn't dare to be careless and promptly removed their masks.

Rōra could immediately assess the strength of each ninja with a single glance.

Maki dutifully presented the files of the twelve candidates. After a quick perusal, Rōra was satisfied with Maki's selections.

Firstly, in terms of background, all twelve ninja were born and raised in Sunagakure, their parents having also been Sunagakure ninja. They were, without a doubt, deeply rooted in the village.

Secondly, they were all currently alone, their parents having died as heroes of the village, leaving them with no other family and relatively simple lives.

Finally, they belonged neither to the commoner faction nor the noble faction, but were purely loyal to the Kazekage's commands.

"Excellent!"

Rōra placed the files on the desk and addressed the twelve ninja before him.

"From this moment on, you will leave the Anbu and become the first members of a new division I intend to establish: the Sunagakure Covert Ops Squad!"

The twelve immediately nodded respectfully.

"Understood, Kazekage-sama!"

Rōra then continued coldly.

"The reason I'm establishing the Covert Ops Squad is simple: I have certain tasks that are not suitable for the Anbu, nor should they be known to too many people. Do you understand?"

At these words, not only the twelve ninja but also Maki knelt down nervously.

"I apologize, the Anbu has disappointed the Kazekage-sama!"

Rōra shook his head.

"No... I am currently very satisfied with the Anbu. I simply have other plans."

Maki breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"The Covert Ops Squad will temporarily be under the Anbu's command, and will retain its previous codenames. However, from today onward, the Covert Ops Squad will only take orders from me, and any matters should be reported directly to me!"

"Understood, Kazekage-sama!"

"Very well!"

Rōra nodded in satisfaction and immediately gave instructions.

"Now, I have several tasks for you. First, which of you is familiar with Kusagakure?"

Upon this question, three of the twelve stepped forward immediately.

"Reporting, Kazekage-sama, I have carried out missions in Kusagakure before!"

"Reporting, Kazekage-sama, I once accompanied the Third Kazekage to meet with Kusagakure ninja."

"Reporting, Kazekage-sama, I have carried out infiltration missions into Kusagakure!"

Rōra looked at the three with satisfaction.

"I have a secret mission for you now. I want you to investigate information about a certain person in Kusagakure."

As he spoke, Rōra produced a pre-prepared scroll and handed it to the three.

"You will set out immediately. The details of what I want you to investigate are written on it. Bring me the information as soon as possible!"

"Understood, Kazekage-sama!"

The three quickly departed.

Rōra then asked.

"Which of you is familiar with the Land of Demons?"

Another three stepped forward, having visited the Land of Demons for various reasons.

Rōra produced another scroll and handed it to them.

They also left.

Now only six people remained.

"Then, which of you is familiar with Rōran?"

This time only two stepped forward.

"Very well, then, the remaining four of you will take on this mission!"

Rōra handed them the scroll for finding Jūgo.

"As for the two of you, three days from now, accompany me to Rōran!"

"Understood!"

After the twelve had left, only Rōra and Maki remained in the office.

Maki was still somewhat nervous, because Rōra's establishment of the Covert Ops Squad, no matter how one looked at it, seemed to indicate dissatisfaction with the Anbu.

Rōra naturally understood, but he didn't offer much explanation, instead expressing his approval through actions.

"Come here, Maki, extend your hand!"

Although somewhat puzzled, Maki nervously approached, lowered his head, and extended his hand.

Then, just like how Yekura and Mikawa had first experienced the power of the Star Release Chakra Mode, sensing the surge of powerful chakra throughout his body, Maki was completely stunned. He felt that his strength had increased by at least twofold.

"This is my reward for you, Maki. I never mistreat my loyal subordinates!"

Maki now completely understood, and said with trembling excitement.

"Serving the Kazekage-sama is my honor!"

"Very well! This is a scroll related to the chakra I gave you, it might offer some inspiration. Cultivate diligently, Sunagakure will face many challenges in the future!"
