In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 267: Taijutsu, Steeljutsu, and Blood Dragon Eye
"A year ago, it was said that a Taitun ninja appeared near the Land of Waves, but he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. Although that place is not the Land of Water, it is still within the sphere of influence of the Hidden Mist Village. It is far away, and there is too little information, so it is difficult to take action or find him."

"Among the twelve jonin elders of Kusagakure Village, there is one named Ginniu. He possesses the Steel Style Bloodline Genkai and is quite powerful. He is also one of the top three core figures in Kusagakure Village. It is relatively easy to find him, but killing him may cause some trouble. However, he is also a good target."

"The remaining one is the Blood Pond Clan in the Hell Valley on the border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Hot Springs. This clan was crushed by the Uchiha during the Warring States Period. I can't say how many people are left now, but their blood dragon eyes have great potential. Kumogakure has also been pushing for this clan to join Kumogakure.

In terms of value, the Blood Pond Clan is the most suitable, but the Cloud Hidden Clan is a troublesome one that is difficult to deal with.

As for the remaining bloodlines, they are not from the five major ninja villages, or the information source has been more than a year ago, so they are of no reference value. "

Qingshui silently calculated in his mind.

The Tai-tun ninja from the Land of Waves appeared a year ago, and is located in a remote area, within the sphere of influence of the Hidden Mist Village. The Sand Village's manpower and influence there are probably not that strong, so it's probably not that easy to find.

The Land of Grass and the Land of Hot Spring do not directly border the Sand Village.

But the former is right next to the Rain Country, while the latter is far away on the other side of the Ninja Continent.

If you want to go to the Kingdom of Hot Springs, there are two ways.

One is to reach the Rain Kingdom first and then cross the entire Fire Kingdom.

This route can be passed for now. If I really enter the Land of Fire and am discovered by Konoha, I will be in trouble.

The other route is to go around in a big circle, also starting from the Rain Country, and then passing through several small countries such as the Grass Country, the Taki Country, the Iron Country, the Field Country, etc. The journey is long.

"That's it..."

The Third Kazekage was also thinking.

Tai-tun can be ruled out first, and the only ones left are Gang-tun and Blood Dragon Eye.

One is one of the top three figures in the Kusagakure Village, whose strength is greater than that of ordinary jonin, and the other is a ninja clan.

Even though they lost to Uchiha at the beginning, the Blood Dragon Eye is still a powerful eye technique and bloodline limit that surpasses most of the bloodline in the ninja world. Even if there are not many people left, it is not something that ordinary ninjas can handle.

Not to mention that it is the sphere of influence of Yunyin.

Then the team that carries out this mission must be strong enough, and the leader cannot be just an ordinary jonin, but must have enough ability to solve the problems encountered...

The Sandaime Kazekage's gaze silently turned to Shimizu.

"Shimizu, this mission is for you to lead the team. Bring back the body of the silver bull from Kusagakure. By the way, check if there is any inheritance of Steel Release in the Land of Grass. It would be best to clear yourself of the blame and put the blame on Iwagakure and Konoha.

We will try our best to win over the Blood Pond Clan. The Sand Village is happy to accept a new bloodline family. If not, we will not allow them to join other ninja villages.

You can choose the personnel yourself. By the way, you can bring Maki with you as a test for his promotion to jonin. I think you can handle the details."

The Third Kazekage issued a task order for an S-level mission to Shimizu on the spot.

After the meeting, several people quickly left the Fengying Building.

Rasa went to select elite members of the Anbu, while Ebizo went to contact several rebel ninja organizations outside the village that served as the black gloves.

And Shimizu is also selecting personnel.

Since the Third Kazekage said that this mission would be regarded as an assessment for Maki's promotion to Jonin, then Maki must take up a place.

This kid has now mastered the two types of transformations, wind jutsu and earth jutsu, and has also participated in Shimizu's swordsmanship improvement class. His strength has reached the standard of a Jonin.

Xiao Ma Ge is getting better now. If this mission is successful, he will be a fourteen-year-old Jonin. For the Sand Village, his training value will be greatly improved, and the ceiling of his future development may be higher than the original time and space.

Ye Cang can also be brought along, not for a honeymoon, but because she has just awakened the Scorch Release, and it would be best if she could help herself build a new combat system through actual combat at a certain level. The strength of an elite jonin is enough to deal with most troubles, and even if she encounters a Kage-level master, she can barely help.

These two people will be the most loyal ones among his loyal ones in the future, and they must be trained with emphasis.

So the team of four is still missing one person.

It would be best if it was an experienced jonin who had enough experience and was stronger.

Feng Shang Qianlan, Sunagami Sayama, and Ishido are all OK.

These are our own people, and when the Fourth Kazekage election comes, if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely choose to stand on our side.

But you can also choose some other centrist jonin to build relationships with them during this mission, preferably the kind that can establish some kind of relationship with them.

Now, it is time for him to form his own faction in the Sand Village.

In the future, he would be able to smoothly take over the intelligence team and puppet troops that Ebizo and Chiyo had run for many years, but that didn't mean he would just wait for them. He still had to do what he had to do.

"Jonin promotion examination?"

When Maki saw the assignment in Shimizu's hand, he almost jumped up with excitement.

Now among the three of them, he is the only one who is not a jonin.

"Well, I want to ask, is Kurokawa-senpai free now? I want to invite him to assist in this mission."

Shimizu said to Maki.

Kurokawa was Maki's mentor when he was a Genin. Shimizu had dealt with Kurokawa several times before during the Ninja World War, and their team had also carried out missions with Kurokawa.

This is an elite jonin with decent strength, over 40 years old and rich in experience.

"Teacher Kurokawa, he should be on a mission in the River Country right now, and he won't be back for a while."

That's a bit of a pity.

"But I do have a jonin here who can try to invite you."

"Oh?"

Qingshui was a little curious.

Who is worthy of Machi's recommendation?

"I am currently the vice-captain of the elite combat unit, Sanda. In terms of strength, I may be a little worse than Mr. Kurokawa, but I am not weak among the jonin. I am good at earth escape and fire escape."

Then, Maki's face suddenly showed some gossip.

"About three years ago, Senior Sanda pursued Karuru, and was beaten up by Rasa. There were some conflicts between them. Last year, Rasa became the deputy director of the Anbu and caused trouble for Sanda Jonin."

And this thing?

He had offended Rosa because of his pursuit of Karuolo, and he probably didn't want to see Rosa become the Kazekage the most.

Now that Shimizu has emerged as a rising star, he probably has come into contact with Maki, Shimizu's good friend.

Then it must be him.
