Chapter Seven, The Situation of Caoren Village

In the Village of Grass, the hierarchical system is very strict, and the three-person teams formed by newly graduated ninjas often do not last long before being disbanded and integrated into the four-part system

Ming Chao quickly stood up, without asking for the reason, accompanied by a smile, and left with Feng Gu. After squatting in the prison for 15 minutes, he was inexplicably sent out of the dark department building by Feng Gu along the same route.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. In this context, the lone wanderers emerge. They do not join the four-part system, choosing instead to act independently or to partner with other lone wanderers. In a situation where all high-commission tasks are controlled by the four parts, they have opened another path

Is it still aimed at the vast emptiness behind me or the higher-level bamboo field? But what good does it do to catch me? I just left the team on my own to become a lone wanderer, and those two might still be preparing to deal with me!

"Wind Valley?" The tourists then noticed this name, a look of confusion flashing in their eyes. How could Wind Valley be involved in security patrols? Was it a coincidence?

Beneath the eight of them are the various department's elite jōnin, numbering not many, only about thirty to forty, which also includes those who can be considered special jōnin among the elite chūnin.

The Wind Valley, which has experienced a period of solitary wandering, is evidently a rather formidable presence among the particularly resilient individuals. Even those with only secondary body techniques do not dare to challenge him, let alone violently resist the dark forces' capture, which would be tantamount to betraying the village and seeking death

After some thought, he turned and left, showing no intention of personally treating Sha Huliang

Ming Chao's predecessor was someone who overestimated their abilities and ultimately brought about their own demise by aspiring to be a lone wolf. In other words, the former lone wolf Feng Gu, in a sense, was also an idol for the predecessor.

He felt that it was worth seeing the famous super with his own eyes, so he asked: "What about the lower ninjas?"

With a bang, the door of the dark department building was slammed shut by the wind, and he no longer paid any attention to Ming Chao

Quickly, go find the esteemed tourist!

That lower-ranked ninja is indeed remarkable

Of course, Ming Chao's predecessor was not yet acquainted with every high-ranking member of the Grass Ninjas; the familiarity with Feng Gu stems from the fact that before joining the Anbu, Feng Gu was a lone wanderer

Ming Chao had a foreboding sense of unease and was prepared for a long stint in prison

... ...

I see!

It does not seem that Mingchao is being deliberately targeted for apologizing and expressing gratitude to Xianglin's mother.

He suddenly realized some things

Ming Chao : ?

Nominally 'Shadow of Grass'

Who did this

Lord Fenggu has captured him, and he should be in the Anbu prison

Ming Chao sat on the cold ground, facing the enclosed small black room and the heavy iron door, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. How could he be so unfortunate

However, Ming Chao truly finds it strange

So what exactly is the reason ... ... the name was desperately investigating all possibilities and past memories, and finally faintly recalled something.

Just before Ming Chao adjusted his posture to begin refining chakra from the bodily memories left by his body, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside

The Dark Division Wind Valley that captured him is a special Jonin belonging to the Dark Division

Hmph, this is not a capability that an ordinary genin can possess. He was not the least bit angry; instead, he exhibited a sense of self-satisfaction as if everything had unfolded as expected, akin to the fulfillment of winning a puzzle game

It is indeed him! The tourist squinted his eyes.

If we include the branch that established the Hidden World Prison, the Ghost Lantern City, the Kusa Flower Flow would be even stronger

As for the Ming Chao Yuanqi team, at least half of the commission fee obtained from completing the commission must be deducted without justification

Ming Chao leaned against the wall and changed his sitting posture

Shahu Liang, covered in blood, was sent to Caoren Hospital, causing a commotion that quickly alerted the deputy director You Ren on the second floor of the hospital

It is fortunate that being in prison allows for some reflection on memories, and it does not hinder his entry into the dueling arena. I hope that Zhishui is safe and that he can impart some skills to this senior, Mo Ying, enabling him to swiftly escape from this helpless situation

He looked up inexplicably at the returning Wind Valley, which repeated, "You may leave now"

What is this situation, saying to catch me and then letting me go? What do you take me for?

Another medical Jonin hesitantly informed him: "It was the shadow clone of Lord Fūga who brought Shahu Liang here. According to Lord Fūga, the one who injured Shahu Liang was a Chūnin from the guard unit who had just left the hospital, named Chao."

Is it a dispute between the two factions? Has it already affected a low-ranking ninja like me, who is merely a guard?

Equivalent to a rogue ninja organized by a village

The iron door of the prison creaked open, and a cold voice came through: "You may leave now"

It is approximately four hours until midnight

Something must be wrong!

Let's refine the chakra for a moment

Of course, it cannot be compared to the Five Great Villages, but when compared to the Rain Ninja Village without Hanzo and Akatsuki, it is on par with the defected ninja village of Takigakure.

A high-ranking ninja known from a previous life

The tourists were also taken aback; they had just sent Sha Hu to follow Ming Chao, and how did it turn into this?

There have been rumors regarding the past; after the conclusion of the Third Shinobi World War, the Anbu had fewer missions related to intelligence gathering and assassination. Due to overlapping responsibilities with the Guard Corps, there were multiple conflicts among the higher-ups. It is said that the head of the Guard Corps has been pressuring the head of the Anbu, seeking to gain control over the Anbu, and even aspiring to become the village chief of the Grass Shinobi Village

There is no shadow within the village, currently governed by four departments, where strength is the ultimate authority. The ministers and deputy ministers of the four departments consist of a total of eight elite Jonin, who are essentially the eight strongest ninjas in the Grass Ninja Village

This branch-type management approach maintains the stability of the Hidden Grass Village, but such a hierarchical system has also created a strict class distinction among the Grass Ninjas, leading to the emergence of exploitation

After Sha Huliang had his injuries examined, he pondered and asked, "Who did this?"

The strength of the Grass Ninja Village is not considered strong in comparison to the entire ninja world, nor is it particularly weak

However, he had just contemplated this in his mind, standing at the pinnacle of the Grass Ninja Village as one of the eight high-ranking officials, the Deputy Minister of the Medical Department of the Grass Ninja Village, an elite Jonin specifically responsible for Fang Nai, You Ren

On the way escorting him, Feng Gu did not respond to his inquiries, yet his attitude was not particularly poor, as if he was merely concerned for the sake of concern.

For example, Ming Chao is affiliated with the Guard Corps of the Grass Ninja Village, and there are a total of five lower ninjas in the same squad as him, led by Yuanqi as the squad leader

Something must be wrong!

And the reason is probably that she is standing with her hands behind her back under the streetlight ahead, waiting for her man

Shahu Liang, the Middle Ninja

Several images are revolving in my mind

The discomfort in his actions was evident; Ming Chao knew that he probably did not want to release himself, yet for certain reasons, he had no choice but to do so

The name is even more strange and unsettling

Moreover, in the Hidden Grass Village, the internal brawls among ninjas erupt daily in countless numbers, and the Anbu hardly intervene at all. A jōnin of such status as Kazekage would certainly not participate in security patrols.

The upper level is the Great Sky, which manages two small teams known as the Yuanqi teams. Above the Great Sky is a special Jonin named Takehara, who oversees several Chunin at the same level as the Great Sky.

Is it a lack of caution on my part? I have already led the pursuer to a secluded place and resolved the conflict without any hesitation as quickly as possible

I didn't have dinner and I'm a bit hungry, sigh

He recognized that man; each time he awakened, that man was standing beside Fang Nai. But why did he come personally to save him
