Chapter 431: Hidden Crisis
The other four did not speak, but waited until the tall and thin man in the lead spoke.
The pace of his feet has obviously quickened a lot.
From the animal and ghost masks they wear, we can know that this is a Root team affiliated with Danzo Shimura.
Along the way, all we could see were flocks of flying birds startled by the team's hasty journey.
There was no laughter in the entire team.
There was no other sound except the sound of people hurrying on their way.
Everyone seems to be a mute.
This is the Root. Every ninja at the Root is like a machine.
A machine that performs tasks.
Just like this mission, except for the captain, the other four team members didn’t even know what the mission was.
But the other ninjas in the team did not ask curiously.
Because by then, all they need to know is what to do.
This Root Ninja Team had been carrying out reconnaissance missions in the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth.
The latest developments of Iwagakure were provided by their team.
This team has extremely rich experience in both combat and intelligence reconnaissance.
Just as this team was rushing to the Kannabi Bridge.
A two-man team was heading towards Kannabi Bridge.
"Rin, are you okay?" Obito couldn't help but ask as he looked at Nohara Rin who was following him.
Nohara Lin stopped on a tree trunk, holding the tall trunk of the tree with her right hand.
Panting heavily.
After all, Nohara Rin is just an ordinary Chunin, and her strength is not that of a solid Chunin.
Nohara Rin's success in the Chunin Exam was more like luck and a trick.
Now Nohara Lin's development direction is to develop into a medical ninja.
How strong can a medical ninja be?
Not every medical ninja is Tsunade or Okamoto Dousuke.
Medical ninja is more of a synonym for cowardice.
So after meeting Okamoto Dousuke, Uchida Ayumu realized that all his views on medical ninjas had changed.
"Obito, am I holding you back?!" Nohara Rin took a short break and said to Uchiha Obito.
"No, Lin, I am so touched that you care about me! Hehe!" Uchiha Obito heard what Nohara Lin said.
He touched the back of his head embarrassedly and laughed.
"Okay, let's go!" Nohara Rin rested for a while and said to Uchiha Obito.
"Hmm!" Uchiha Obito stopped giggling and took out the worm from his arms.
"This way!" Uchiha Obito pointed in a direction.
The two of them hurried in the direction indicated by Zichong.
The sound of whizzing through the air continued to be heard.
Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin, two inexperienced people, startled the birds in the forest.
After all, they are two inexperienced Chunins, and Uchiha Obito has a careless personality, so he will not pay attention to those details.
The two of them rushed towards where Kakashi was.
The sun was setting.
The red sunset makes the Shinwubi Bridge look particularly gorgeous.
At the same time, the five-member team of the Root finally arrived near the Kannabi Bridge.
The Root Squad, led by the tall and thin captain, stared at the Kannabi Bridge in the distance.
"Rest now! Recover your chakra as much as possible!!" The tall and thin captain turned around and said to his four team members.
After hearing the captain's words, several Root ninjas, without any hesitation, each found a position and took out military rations pills and dry food directly from their ninja tool bags.
Start to recover your physical strength and chakra.
Eat while you're at it.
After a while, everyone seemed to have finished their meal.
The tall and thin captain stood up and walked in front of the four people.
He took out a mission scroll from his ninja tool bag.
See the captain's actions.
The four people who were originally resting all gathered around the tall and thin captain.
"This is the mission assigned to us by Lord Danzo this time." Sure enough, the tall and thin captain began to tell several people about the mission.
"This time the mission is to monitor the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze!!" The tall and thin captain announced the mission directly.
"What!" Among the four ninjas present, a ninja wearing a ghost face mask exclaimed after hearing the task requirements.
This exclamation instantly attracted the attention of the other four people present.
The other people stared at the famous ninja.
"Mountain Dog, I hope I won't hear any strange voices from your mouth next time!" The tall and thin captain looked at his team member coldly.
"But Captain..."
"If you have any questions, let's talk later!" The tall and thin captain directly interrupted the ninja code-named Mountain Dog.
"I understand!" After hearing the captain's words, Shan Gou lowered his head.
"Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, Konoha's jewel Okamoto Dousuke, and Konoha's new jonin Kakashi, the three will carry out the mission of destroying the Kamubi Bridge today." The tall and thin captain paused here.
In a corner that he didn't notice, a member of the team was reading out the names of those in the mission while the tall and thin captain was reading out the names.
When I heard the name, my body trembled slightly.
"Our mission is, if Minato Namikaze and his team complete the task of destroying the Kannabi Bridge, then we will be responsible for killing Minato Namikaze and the members of his team!!" said the tall and thin captain coldly and ruthlessly.
As soon as the tall and thin captain finished speaking, two members of the team immediately raised their heads and looked at him in surprise.
"This is an order given by Lord Danzo himself. I don't want you to hold back the team due to personal reasons! Do you understand?" The tall and thin captain looked at his four team members coldly.
Especially the two players standing in the corner.
"Yes!" The two ninjas from the X2 Root Team answered immediately.
The tall and thin captain and the two Root ninjas who answered immediately were war orphans adopted by the Root from all over the ninja world.
Under the long-term brainwashing of the Root, he obeyed Shimura Danzo's orders unconditionally.
Not to mention killing Minato Namikaze and the people in his team.
Even if it meant a surprise attack on the Hokage, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, or asking them to commit suicide, they would not hesitate at all.
"Mountain Dog, Cha Mi!!" The tall and thin captain suddenly stared at the two team members standing in the corner.
These two ninjas were sent to the Root by the families in the village in order to gain the support of Danzo Shimura.
A characteristic of this type of ninja is that when faced with an excessive task, they will resist execution.
So this is one of the reasons why family ninjas like them can never become high-ranking members of the Root.
