Chapter 289: A Total of 10,000 Points

Konoha's current system is somewhat similar to the Roman Republic, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is the consul and dictator of the Roman Republic.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi abdicates to the position of Hokage's assistant, the power of the "senator" will be further strengthened.

After Caesar's death, his adopted son Octavian reorganized the Roman government, changed the republican system to a principalist system, and became the first emperor of the Roman Empire.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicates, his successor will most likely end up in the opposite situation to Octavian.

It is true that history has been reversed.

After bidding farewell to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha came to the Hollow with a long sword on his waist and called his four team leaders.

It has been nearly two years since the establishment of the virtual department, and the four squadrons have been filled with sixteen people.

Among them, the four team leaders of Mirror, Flower, Water, and Moon are Uchiha Tetsuka, Kakashi, Uchiha Kamine, and Hyuga Kagetora, all of whom are acquaintances who have worked together.

"Buchou, what did Hokage say?" Kakashi asked.

Call your job title when working.jpg

In addition, it is common sense not to add "vice" when commensurate with the job title.

The other three people also looked at Mai Uchiha. The ANBU was originally the department in charge of intelligence and investigation, so naturally they had known about the changes in Kirigakure Village for a long time.

"It is currently impossible to determine when Kirigakure Village will take action. Further investigation is needed." Uchiha Mai said calmly.

Tiehuo showed an impatient look on his face and complained: "Check, check, check, there is nothing to look for, no matter how much I check, I can't find any flowers.

Kirigakure Village will definitely invade the Land of Fire, it’s just a matter of time. What we should do now is to send troops in advance to set up defense lines and keep them out.

Do we have to find out the news that they are clearly sending troops before we take action? Haven’t you suffered enough from the first three times? "

The other three people also nodded slightly in agreement.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen also planned this. But of course Uchiha Mai couldn't say that the Hokage wanted to send troops, but I refused and planned to lead hundreds of people to fight Kirigakure Village.

At least not right now.

"Hokage-sama naturally has his own plans."

Uchiha Mai smiled, but did not explain, and continued: "I will lead the team for this mission. You should prepare, and I will select some people from the family and ordinary ninjas to form a squadron of 100 people.

Once an accident occurs and important information is detected, we can also act as the first line of defense and pass the task back to the village. "

"The minister will personally lead the team?"

The four of them were slightly startled, and then felt that the Hokage's order was more reasonable.

The last time Uchiha Mai made a move in public was a year ago. At that time, Uchiha Mai was able to deal with Tsuchikage Onoki for a long time.

Half a year ago, the back hill of the Uchiha family was razed to the ground in a matter of seconds. Some people speculated that this must be Uchiha Mai's handiwork.

It is conservatively estimated that Mai Uchiha's strength is comparable to that of Orochimaru, Jiraiya and others, and it is no problem to ride a thousand horses.

It would make sense if such a great expert led the team to perform reconnaissance missions and also acted as the first line of defense.

"Yes." The four of them solved their doubts, divided their duties, and then went to carry out the order.

As for the Uchiha clan, Tiehuo and Shangfeng were responsible for contacting them. Both of them have activated the three magatama. They participated in the chunin exam with Mai Uchiha a few years ago, and both have basic jounin strength.

And because he is considered to be Mai Uchiha's confidant and has a high status in the family, he is most suitable to serve as Mai Uchiha's voice in the family and handle some trivial matters.

On the ordinary ninja side, Kakashi and Hinata Kagetora will handle it.

Both of them came from well-known families, the former's biological father was Hatake Sakumo, and he himself was a slightly famous genius, but he was overshadowed by Mai Uchiha.

Although the latter was only from a branch of the Hyuga family, he was also a Hinata. He had served as the head of the ANBU Northeast Intelligence Division, and had teamed up with Mai Uchiha to fight against Kumogakure, so he was also very prestigious.

If the two of them act together, there will naturally be no disadvantages.

Within a few hours, the four of them had taken care of all the trivial matters and gathered the troops.

More than a hundred ninjas stood neatly in the square, accepting inspections from their immediate superiors, the deputy ANBU minister, and the second-in-command Uchiha.

"Minister, this is the list of team members, please take a look." Hyuga Kagetora respectfully handed a list to Mai Uchiha.

After taking the list, Uchiha Mai glanced at it casually. After seeing a few familiar names, her pupils suddenly shrank.

Metkai, Metedai...

It’s interesting, just by randomly selecting a few people, I actually selected this father and son pair. Is this the end of the world line?

What's even more amazing is that Akai is actually his father's captain.

About a few months ago, Konoha held a chunin exam in the village, and all the candidates were young people who had just graduated from the ninja school a few years ago.

Candidates who perform well can be promoted to chunin and serve as the captain of the cannon fodder team.

Fortunately, Akai met Obito during the exam, kicked out the sick latter, and became one of the young people who was promoted exceptionally.

Obito has mentioned this matter more than once in his family and ANBU, about taking advantage of others' danger and not being tolerant, and why I will lose if I am not careless...

So Uchiha Mai knew about this.

"interesting."

Uchiha Mai glanced at Metkai and his son in the square formation and smiled slightly.

The father and son's anus tightened at the same time, and they were a little panicked. Could it be that our little Jiujiu has been seen through?

In Konoha, or in the entire ninja world, the age of a ninja is a very important indicator, and it is often linked to potential.

A thirty-year-old jounin, no. A ten-year-old jounin, okay.

Because Akai was young enough and caught up with the war, because of his excellent performance in the village's chuunin examination, he was promoted to chuunin.

Matt Day doesn't have this chance.

A Genin in his thirties or forties and a Genin in his ten years are two different concepts. The former means most of the time that there is no potential to be tapped.

Konoha would never say that it would hold a chunin exam specifically for those genin in their thirties and forties. Even if you really perform well and have chuunin strength, so what?

Although Matt Dai's father was outstanding in strength, he was naturally excluded from various high-level missions because he was only a genin and did not know how to use ninjutsu, genjutsu, or even the three-body technique.

Most of the time, they could only perform tasks such as finding cats for their employers and working as coolies. Konoha had been fighting for more than two years and had never been on the battlefield once.

This makes sense: Ninjas are a multi-functional unit. Who would find a genin who only knows taijutsu as a teammate when they go to the battlefield?

Matt Dai cannot take a special promotion path. He can only accumulate enough tasks and participate in several high-level tasks to brush up his qualifications before he can be promoted to Chunin.

Being able to participate in high-level tasks requires qualifications, which is a logical closed loop.

Matt Dai and his son are very embarrassed. Their son is his father's captain, but his father is more powerful but is only a genin. This doesn't make sense.

Just when he was feeling worried, he learned that Mai Uchiha was about to lead a team to the south, and a large number of team members would need to be selected to perform a reconnaissance mission.

This is a team-type mission. As long as the mission is successfully completed, even an ordinary member of an ordinary team can receive rewards and evaluations equivalent to B-level missions.

If you perform well, it's not impossible to get an A grade. As for Mai Uchiha, who leads the team, she is designated to start at S level.

Mountain darkly, vista.

When Uchiha Mai comes, there will be a blue sky! When Mai Uchiha comes, my biological father will be able to gain promotion through battle merit.

For his father's promotion, when Kakashi was recruiting a team, Akai signed up with a sense of shame, hoping that Kakashi could help his brother.

Ordinary people might look down on Akai and his son because they only know taijutsu, but Kakashi would not. After all, Kakashi, Akai, and Mai Uchiha were all members of the Menshifu team.

Kakashi knows that Akai's biological father cannot be underestimated either, and may be stronger than many chuunin. After all, even Mai Uchiha once asked him for advice on taijutsu.

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi approved Akai's application to join the team.

Back to business.

Uchiha Maijun glanced at Akai and his son and then looked away. After saying a few words casually, he led the team to set off, leading the people out of Konoha and running towards the south.

The entire team of more than a hundred people gathered together, which was very strange for a reconnaissance force, and the target was too big.

At the front of the team were the four group leaders of Mai Uchiha and Kyoka Suigetsu, Shisui, Yamato and other close associates, followed by the Hollow members, then some clan members selected from the family, and finally more than fifty ordinary ninjas.

"Brother Wu."

The group of people ran in a hurry, Shisui ran beside Mai Uchiha, and asked with some confusion: "Isn't it said that it is an investigation mission?

It stands to reason that we should act separately. Dozens of teams investigate different areas and communicate with each other in special ways.

Only in this way can we obtain the most information in the shortest time, but why should we act together? "

Shisui is a very smart and talented young man, but after all, he is a new ninja, and it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes on paper.

"Because there aren't many areas we need to investigate."

Uchiha Mai explained: "The ANBU has already made arrangements in the south, and we can grasp the general actions of Kirigakure Village immediately.

What we need to investigate is actually the area where Kirigakure troops are most likely to land when they attack Konoha.

Even if they log in from other places, we can still receive information from the intelligence agency and rush to intercept them as soon as possible. "

Shisui frowned, this didn't look like a traditional reconnaissance mission.

Rather than saying it is a reconnaissance mission, it is better to say that this is a vanguard mission, which is responsible for blocking the enemy while conducting reconnaissance.

Zhisui thought for a while and then realized that he was right.

If it was just a simple reconnaissance mission, there would be no need for Mai Uchiha to lead the team in person. Just one or two jounin would be enough.

And there are at least six people in this team who have the strength to be a guaranteed jounin.

After clearing up the doubts in his heart, Shisui stopped asking questions and silently retreated behind Mai Uchiha, looking forward to this mission.

I really want to meet the troops from Kirigakure Village, so that I can fight side by side with Brother Wu and score 83 points together.

Shisui was still a little naive. He misunderstood the strength gap between him and Uchiha Mai, as well as Uchiha Mai's ambition.

Mai Uchiha: Are we the kind of people who want to score 81 points by ourselves, 2 points by our teammates, and embarrass our teammates by scoring 83 together?

No, what we want is to let our teammates score 81 points, and then score 9919 points ourselves, a total of 10,000 points!

At the end of the team, Akai and Matt Dai whispered for a while, and after apologizing to the team members, they sped up and left the team, running towards Mai Uchiha at the front of the large team.

This behavior made many fellow ninjas dissatisfied, including ordinary ninjas and some Uchiha people.

The whole army does not have a clear hierarchy, but it does not mean that everyone does not have one in their hearts. At the front is the Konoha boss Uchiha Mai and his confidants, and the second echelon is the Hollows under his command.

Even those ninjas who are from the same Uchiha family as the boss can only be in the third echelon.

You two guys, you actually want to disrupt this shadowy hierarchy without knowing the difference between respect and inferiority, and run to the boss, how shameless are you?

Some ninjas looked teasingly, wanting to see the jokes of Akai and his son.

Then...

Akai ran to Uchiha Mai at a faster speed, with an apologetic look and a grateful face: "Thank you so much this time, Mai. Thank you for giving us this opportunity and not kicking us out of the team.

Dad has been a Genin for many years. He is obviously very powerful, but because he only knows physical skills, he is discriminated against by others and has not been able to perform high-level tasks and get a chance to be promoted.

It's great to have your help!"

Matt Dai also looked grateful, hesitant to express his gratitude.

Passion and youth are what Might and his son always believe in, but daily necessities are also the main theme of life.

Anyone would be depressed if he could not be promoted just because he only knew physical skills.

Apart from other things, in China alone, there have been countless people who thought they were talented but not appreciated and were unhappy all their lives. It is not easy for Might Dai to maintain his current mentality.

"Did I help in any way?" Uchiha Mai asked.

Might and his son, and Kakashi who followed Uchiha Mai, were all slightly startled at the same time. Letting two ninjas who only knew physical skills join the team to perform such a high-level task is not considered helping?

Uchiha Mai continued, "I know the strength of Senior Might Dai very well. With just physical skills, his strength can surpass most Chunin.

If he uses the Eight Gates, he can gain more power than some Jonin.

Senior Might Dai's strength is seriously inconsistent with his ninja level. He should be at least a special Jonin. It is a blessing for me that you can join my team.

After returning, I will propose to the Hokage that Senior Dai should be given a fair promotion and a chance to show his talent."

What?

Kakashi was slightly shocked and glanced at Might Dai inconspicuously.

The strength of a Jonin is certainly not worthy of Kakashi's shock, but a ten thousand year Genin was actually evaluated by Uchiha Mai as having strength beyond many Jonin, which was a bit unexpected.

Uchiha Mai once learned physical skills from Might Dai, and his evaluation should not be bad.

So, in Konoha, how many masters are there whose strength is seriously inconsistent with their ninja level?

I just ignored a master who was overshadowed by the dust because of my preconceived impression. His realm is more than one level lower than Uchiha Mai. I still have a long way to go in catching up with him.
