Chapter 1038 Special Merit

Huhu

The blizzard in the Iron Kingdom cannot stop the encirclement and suppression troops.

The encirclement and suppression troops in white cloaks braved the storm on the snowy field and galloped quickly. Because the leading troops had already engaged the enemy, as reinforcements, they no longer needed to sneak and could march at full speed.

The leader of this encirclement and suppression force was a jounin who belonged to the Konoha sealing class, named Takahashi Ryuichi.

There are two vice-captains in the team, one is a jonin from Kirigakure and the other is a jounin from Sunagakure.

The Kirigakure Jonin is good at Taijutsu and is responsible for dealing with monsters and monsters. His partner, Shen Nong, is a remnant of Kong Ninja Village. Sunagakure Jonin is a puppet master, proficient in sealing and using poison.

While galloping, the Kirigakure Jonin, as the deputy captain, asked: "How long will it take?"

Takahashi Ryuichi replied: "Keeping the current speed, it will take about thirty minutes!"

Kirigakure Jonin frowned slightly: "Can the vanguard troops hold on?"

Next to him was the deputy captain Sunagakure Jonin, who said: "Before departure, I looked at the personnel configuration of the vanguard. Excluding the logistics support personnel such as the reconnaissance squad, communication squad, intelligence squad, and medical squad, the number of combat personnel reached more than sixty. There are more than a dozen tactical teams, so it shouldn’t be a problem to hold on for a few hours!”

Takahashi Ryuichi gently nodded: "Yes, the intelligence team in the headquarters has calculated it. The configuration of the vanguard is enough to entangle the enemy for at least half a day!"

The Kirigakure Jonin breathed a sigh of relief and grinned: "So, we just need to arrive as planned and clean up the mess?"

Limited by their chakra reserves, ninjas are often the most effective at the beginning of a battle. Once entering the stalemate and struggle stage, the ninja's combat effectiveness will gradually decline with the consumption of chakra and physical exhaustion, which even the jinchūriki cannot avoid.

Therefore, compared with the vanguard force, the subsequent support encirclement and suppression force obviously has an advantage.

Sunagakure Jonin smiled: "As long as we can get rid of the two official members of the Akatsuki organization, the Demon King and the Shen Nong, the special merit awarded by the Five Shadows will be obtained!"

When Takahashi Ryuichi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Everyone, please work hard!"

The 'special merit' mentioned by Sunagakure Jonin was the special reward proposed by the Five Shadows in order to increase the enthusiasm of the ninjas under his command in the Ninja War.

The conditions are also very simple. As long as you can kill or capture a formal member of the Akatsuki organization, you can obtain the 'special merit' awarded by these five shadows.

Those with 'special merit' can apply for one 'S' level ninjutsu or three 'A' level ninjutsu from any of the five major ninja villages.

This is only the most superficial reward.

Obtaining 'special merit' also has hidden rewards. For example, Sunagakure has made it clear internally that if a ninja commander who has received 'special merit' passes the loyalty review after the war, he can enter the elders' group and become the elder of the village. one.

Although there are no similar clear regulations in other villages, various rumors have spread.

In fact, this is normal, because those who can become ninja army commanders are basically jounin, and most of them are the best jounin.

These people already have a lot of prestige in their respective villages, so once they obtain "special merit" in the Ninja War, it is natural to go one step further and step into the management of the village.

Just like Takahashi Ryuichi's encirclement and suppression force.

Takahashi Ryuichi himself is not famous in Konoha, but as long as he can get rid of the demons and Shennong and get the "special merit", he has a high probability of becoming the next seal squad leader of Konoha.

As the deputy captains, the Kirigakure jounin and Sunagakure jounin have a high probability of entering the elder level of their respective villages.

And because there are only so many official members of the Akatsuki organization, the Ninja Village Alliance does not have to worry about the proliferation of 'special merits'.

In a tense and exciting mood, the three captains of the encirclement and suppression force, the captain and the deputy captain, braved the blizzard on the ice field and finally arrived in front of the snowy peak of target No. 7.

"Huh!?"

Takahashi Ryuichi looked around and let out a light sigh.

According to the plan, there should be ninjas to respond to them near the target, but their team has already arrived, but the ninjas to respond have not yet appeared.

The Kirigakure jounin pointed to the cave entrance on the snowy peak in the distance: "That seems to be Target No. 7! The cave entrance is connected to the mountain's belly. Won't all the leading troops have already entered?"

The Sunagakure Jonin was a little impatient when he heard this: "Damn it, there seems to be a sealing squad in the vanguard. Won't the Demon and Shennong have been killed by them? Captain, attack!"

Takahashi Ryuichi hesitated: "But."

The Kirigakure jounin also advised: "Even if the vanguard has been wiped out, we have no way out, so there is nothing to hesitate!"

Takahashi Ryuichi thought it made sense, so he waved his hand: "Attack!"

Soon, the entire encirclement and suppression force launched a well-trained attack formation, and successively attacked Xuefeng from the entrance of the cave.

I thought I would encounter an ambush in the narrow cave passage, but the encirclement and suppression troops had marched more than half way, and the forward team at the front had almost entered the mountainside, and they did not suffer any attacks. Takahashi Ryuichi suddenly felt a gap in his heart, and Sunagakure The jounin was also worried whether the sprites and Shennong would have been eliminated by the vanguard.

After passing through the cave and entering the heart of the mountain, Takahashi Ryuichi immediately felt a warmth. This warmth is undoubtedly radiated from the hot springs located in the heart of the mountain, making the temperature inside the mountain much higher than the snowy field outside where there is ice and snow.

However, the warmth on his face could not suppress Ryu Takahashi's sudden chill in his heart.

As his vision widened, everything in the mountain came into his sight, but what he saw was not the busy scene of the vanguard cleaning up the battlefield, but the broken limbs and arms all over the ground, and the leader of the vanguard who was sitting on a pile of corpses, looking at his vanguard with a playful look on his face.

Takahashi Ryuichi was speechless for a moment: "You"

The leader of the vanguard sitting on the pile of corpses slowly stood up, looked down at his body, and complained: "This body is still too weak, why can't you send some stronger guys over?"

Takahashi Ryuichi suddenly realized.

The person on the pile of corpses was not someone else, but their target monster Wuliang. This monster was obviously occupying the body of the leader of the vanguard.

The deputy captains of the encirclement and suppression team, the Mist and Sand Hidden Ninjas, were eyelids twitching at this moment.

They didn't expect that the vanguard was not only defeated, but also defeated so thoroughly, which was completely contrary to the command center's deduction.

Takahashi Ryuichi ordered: "Notify the temporary camp that the vanguard was defeated and wiped out, and our encirclement and suppression team will take over the battle!"

"Yes!"

An intelligence squad ninja in the team responded and quickly rushed out of the cave.

Bang!

As a result, the intelligence squad ninja was hit by a punch from a black shadow as soon as he approached the cave entrance, and was blasted back into the mountain.
