Bai Yun Chapter 2: Compliance Test
Dark and damp feeling everywhere, like the impression the roots give.
The construction of the roots obviously did not have the underground moisture-proof. On the dark walls, there will be dark patches somewhere, which is the appearance of groundwater seeping into the room.
There is a musty smell in the air, Duanmu glanced at his hand for a long time, as if to say, do you regret it?
Takujiu entered the state very quickly, ignored Duanmu at all, and quickly recognized his identity as Anbu.
The ninja at the root who led the way, listened to Danzo's name, his name is 'Ji'.
The root ninja is called the Heavenly Stem, and if it is full, there are ten official Heavenly Stewards members and ten squadrons with them as captains. However, the root has not been full for a long time.
The title of 'Ji' also proves that his ranking at the root is the sixth in the Heavenly Stem.
This is a tall man with dark skin, broad shoulders, broad body, and looks like a person from the north of the Ninja continent. There will be a lot of rough men like this.
Everyone came to a training ground. The training ground is about 400 square meters. It is already a big project underground.
I jumped onto the corridor-style stand on the second floor and said to the six newcomers below:
"I don't care whether you were geniuses, jōnin, fighting madmen, or incompetent rats before you joined Anbu!"
"The root only trains you one thing!"
"That's obedience! In addition to obedience, obedience!"
"Go to the duty room and wait! Until the next order arrives!"
Speaking of which, Ji was about to turn around and leave here.
The six newcomers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
A fat ninja couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't you want to test our abilities? I think..."
Before he finished speaking, a kunai entwined with lightning struck the fat ninja's throat with unstoppable momentum.
It seems that he really meant to kill. Fortunately, the fat ninja hid at the end, otherwise, he would have really died.
Did not die in the Ninja World War, but died on the first day of entering Anbu, the joke was a big one.
But the side of his neck was still burnt by Lei Dun. He just covered his neck and stared at his back angrily.
Poor Qiu Dao clan ninja, he thought he was chosen as Anbu because of his outstanding strength.
In the training room, my own voice echoed: "Obey! Ability is something your boss needs to consider, you just need to obey!"
The others looked at each other and followed the directions to the duty room.
Duanmu noticed that his thunderbolt was very strong. Dark skin, tall figure, powerful Lei Dun, this combination is not common in Konoha or in the country of fire, maybe it was an orphan who was kidnapped from the country of thunder before.
The duty room is not large, and the wooden planks that are nailed out along the wall are regarded as seats.
Nothing else.
No lights, no food, no water, just the faint sound of wind in the vents.
All rooms at the root are buried deep in the ground, and even if the ninja doesn't need light, ventilation is always needed.
Duanmu stared at the vent silently in the dark. I don't know if I can find the information on the ventilation system at the root. If you can use it, you can use the poisonous mist to make a first move...
That's it, no one knows how much time has passed.
If you are hungry, you eat the pills, and when you are thirsty, you drink water from a bamboo tube. Each Konoha ninja will prepare a little supply for the out-of-the-village mission that pops up.
However, it is a strange experience to eat unpalatable ration pills in Konoha.
Maybe it's been half a day, maybe a day, staying in a closed room for a long time makes people anxious to varying degrees.
Even Kakashi, who was as motionless as a dead fish, could see him starting to adjust the gauntlets on his arms.
Duanmu didn't talk to Tehisa, nor to Kakashi, because maybe the people from the roots are watching the six newcomers in the dark.
Perhaps, this is also part of root training.
To be able to participate in Anbu's ninjas, strength is no longer a factor that Anbu needs to consider. Instead, everyone's strange habits and ideas should be polished first.
Submission is the most important thing Anbu should consider.
Suddenly, when the newcomers were about to reach the limit of exhaustion, they pushed the door open.
"Give you fifteen minutes, food and water are next door, and the bathroom is at the end of the hallway. In fifteen minutes, leave the village with me!"
Whatever he does, as long as he can get out of this dark place, he can say anything.
With six newcomers, they are running towards the northwest of the Fire Country. northwest? Isn't that the direction of the Land of Rain and Land of Earth?
After Sandyin Village was defeated by Konoha on Kikyoyama Mountain, Yanyin Village believed that Sandyin Village was weak and could be bullied, and a war broke out between the two villages.
It was originally a one-sided war, but because of the betrayal of Zhuli Laozi, a four-tailed man from Yanyin Village, the battle became evenly matched.
Because Yanyin Village has to be careful of Yunyin Village's revenge, the war is very stalemate. Not only the number of deaths of ninjas in the two villages is very terrifying, but also the war has caused huge damage to the rain country as a battlefield for half a year. .
The leader of the Land of Rain, Demigod Hanzo, has always restricted Yuren to Yuyin Village, and has never made a single statement about the war that took place in their country.
This is equivalent to ceding the Kingdom of Rain to Yanyin Village and Sandyin Village, and at the same time, also ceding the Kingdom of Rain to the rebels who were dissatisfied with Hanzo.
After Yanyin Village and Sandyin Village retreated, Hanzo discovered that there were rebel groups dissatisfied with him everywhere in the Land of Rain.
Hanzo has repeatedly stated that the Third Ninja World War is nearing the end, and there is no need to waste Yu Ninja in the final war, but the resistance organization has determined that Hanzo is between power and the country of rain, and chose the former.
As a result, after Iwa Shinobu and Sand Shinobi retreated, the Land of Rain was plunged into civil war again.
These have nothing to do with Konoha, and Duanmu also saw these in the intelligence reports that the Shangnin could access.
Now Roots is driving them towards the northwest frontier, not sure what Roots wants to do.
It also takes three or four days to travel from Konoha Village to the northwestern border of the Land of Fire.
On the way, Ji at the root didn't slow down at all, and kept on rushing at the speed of marching. Only in the middle of the night would he choose to rest for a while.
I don't have a good rest, and I have to march in a hurry during the day, so my body is very burdened.
As newcomers know, this is also part of the test.
However, it's really exhausting. At this speed, the four-day journey seems to be finished in two days.
For Duanmu and Tejiu, they have been practicing the Seal of Reincarnation of the Five Elements, which can improve their physical fitness. Their physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary people, so there is no problem in persevering.
Kakashi seems to be able to handle it, he is a genius, and this is not beyond his limits.
But the remaining three newcomers collapsed.
He didn't have any thoughts of taking care of them, and was still running wildly, jumping on the tree trunks.
Seeing that the three behind him were about to fall behind, Duanmu speeded up and got close to him.
I noticed the approaching Duanmu and followed him unhurriedly. Does this seem like a provocation?
Afterwards, he began to accelerate.
Not to be outdone, Duanmu accelerated, and the speed of the two became faster and faster.
Long-term use of the seal of reincarnation within the five elements to strengthen the body, this consumption is not a problem.
At the same time, the seal rune under Duanmu Huan's feet is still spewing air vortices. After the speed is fast, not only does the movement not deform, but also more elegant, and a small movement can take a big step.
No matter how fast he is, Duanmu can easily follow, not far or near, just one position away.
My speed is getting faster and harder.
Although he was wearing a mask, Duanmu could hear that his breath was a little chaotic.
When it was evening, before it got dark, I didn't leave, waiting for the others behind me.
It took more than twenty minutes for everyone to gather. The last three were panting, their hands resting on their knees, and their waists could not be straightened.
Duanmu stood aside very easily, waiting for his orders.
I made a gesture, forcibly suppressed my panting, and said, "Rest!"
Tekyu nodded in a timely manner and said, "Obey! Anbu's most important thing is to obey! Rest!"
This evening, everyone was able to rest for a long time.
Tekhisa guessed that the reason why this root self didn't test the newcomer's strength must be that after seeing the files of Duanmu and Kakashi, he judged that he couldn't beat him, so he saved this step.
The next day was finally normal, but I rushed to the border without stopping.
In a village on the border, there is an abandoned farmyard.
Seven Anbu ninjas from Konoha stared at the courtyard from a distance. Half of the thatch on the roof had collapsed, leaving only the other half, and was blown unevenly by the strong wind.
The other courtyards in the village are still intact, and there should be villagers living there. Only this courtyard is clean, but it is very dilapidated.
He said without expression:
"According to the information, there are five orphans in the yard. They are all vagabonds with ninja talents collected by the spies of the roots in the land of rain and land."
"In addition to the orphans, there is also an old woman from the Land of Rain who takes care of the orphans. Create an accident and let the old woman die in an accident. The people at the root will go and bring those homeless children back to Konoha."
The fat ninja said, "Why did you kill the old woman?"
After walking for a few days, several people already know that this fat ninja is from the Qiu Dao clan, and his characteristics are relatively obvious.
I didn't give an explanation at all, just like deliberately taking revenge on the Qiudao ninja, saying: "The reason for the mission does not need to be explained to you. Since you have asked the question, it is up to you to execute the final blow!"
I thought to myself, sure enough, Danzo-sama was right. Anbu should be planted with the seal of the root of the tongue, so that we can better protect Konoha in the dark!
Although the ninjas of the Qiu Dao clan wear masks, Duanmu can also see his grievances.
Everyone didn't speak, Duanmu asked, "Is that old woman a ninja?"
I asked about the mission information, and I replied: "No."
The crowd fell silent.
Why should an old woman who was not a ninja, an old woman taking care of homeless children, be killed?
Is this a compliance test?
In the morning, there was laughter in the yard, and a group of orphans went to the forest to pick food, leaving only the old woman to prepare breakfast in the dilapidated house.
The kids were noisy and seemed very happy. Some were holding the corner of the bag, and their body was so small that the bag was dragged on the ground. Some two people carried a basket together, and the pulling of the basket restricted their joyful running, causing the two children to stumble in their running postures.
One of the children wears a strange samurai hood that is so large that it looks like he has a small head.
Unbeknownst to them, the cataclysm is imminent on their grandmother's head.
With a long sigh, Takuma appeared on the back wall of the house.
A few strands of steel wire were thrown out, silently, and a mechanism was made at the already unstable roof beam.
Afterwards, Shoujiu Shunshu returned to everyone's side, pointed to the steel wire on the far back wall and said:
"As long as that wire is shot, the beam will snap and our mission is over."
My opponent said for a long time: "You're fine, you didn't act on your own."
He pointed to the ninja of the Qiu Dao clan and said, "You, go to the last step."
The ninja of the Qiu Dao clan clenched their fists and was silent for a long time.
In the dilapidated thatched house, the smoke from the cooking rose, and the smoke of the cooking smoke floated upward, and the more it drifted, the lighter it was, like a life that was about to die.
Until the distant forest, the children's laughter appeared again.
The ninjas of the Qiu Dao clan were masked by masks, and finally found a kunai, which was not far away. A kunai shot out and accurately hit the wire on the back wall of the yard.
It has a thatched roof and three 20cm thick beams. The girders were damaged by the agency and smashed down with the thick thatch from the roof.
The homeless children heard the loud noise in the yard, and were so frightened that they threw everything away and rushed to the yard...
The hooded child, using the hat as a basket, is holding a hat of small fruit. The hat was also thrown away, and the fruit was scattered all over the floor.
However, the children had no chance to rescue the old woman.
Thatch fell into the early fireworks, sparking the fire.
Neighbors rushed out of their homes, but because the men were all out to work, only a few women and children were helping to put out the fire.
The fire is very big, and it is lucky not to spread to several surrounding houses.
Eventually, the homeless children gathered in a group and cried heartbroken in front of the fire.
At this time, a female ninja, dressed in the distinctive Konoha costume, arrives from the entrance of the village.
The long golden hair fluttered behind her, and Duanmu knew her, the pharmacist Ye Naiyu.
Those wanderers seemed to know the pharmacist Ye Naiyu, and they surrounded Ye Naiyu, crying and begging.
Yo Naiyu sent a water escape to put out the fire.
In the end, the old woman was only left with a charred corpse, and under the leadership of Ye Naiyu, was buried in the wasteland of the woods.
The dust settled, and the pharmacist Ye Naoyu took these children and set out in the direction of Konoha Village.
Is this the way the roots collect strays?
The six newcomers were silent, not saying a word.
Especially the ninjas of the Qiu Dao clan have never been able to let go. This is 108,000 miles away from what he envisioned, protecting Konoha's greatness in secret.
Finally, Duanmu spoke first:
"The old woman is from the Land of Rain because our Konoha spies exposed their identity to that old woman? So that old woman must be killed?"
The ninja of the Qiu Dao clan raised their heads and eagerly waited for his answer.
I seem to have expected it, and I know that some people can't help it:
"Whether you guessed it right or not, the Anbu who received the mission does not need to know the cause and effect of the mission, just execute it."
"I emphasize one last time, the duty of Anbu is to obey!"
"You dare to doubt indiscriminately, and you will be punished to **** those orphans back to the Konoha Orphanage."
"If you lose an orphan, get out of Anbu!"
"After the guards go back, they will immediately come back with the walking priestess. She knows where to find me. After half a month, it will be your graduation assessment."
Hearing such a rude reply, Duanmu didn't say anything, turned around and left, looking for the pharmacist Ye Naiyu.
