"Konoha Special Combat Ninja Squad? Which department is that?" Gu Jie asked puzzledly. After being a ninja for so many years, this was the first time he heard this name.
"This is a newly formed unit. It is not currently affiliated with any department and reports directly to the Hokage. The purpose is to form a special ninja unit that is good at swordsmanship." Nagase explained.
"Oh, I see. But I'm just a Genin. It's okay for me to do some tasks, but if I want to be a deputy squad leader, I'm afraid I can't do it. It's difficult for me to shoulder such a big responsibility." Gu Jie thought about it and politely refused.
Back then, it was his mistake in command that led to the deaths of two teammates. He is not worthy of leading others.
That's why he refused to be promoted to Chunin and Jonin. Chunin and Jonin often take on the role of captain during missions.
He didn't want to cause the death of his companions again because of his own command errors.
But not being a Chunin or Jonin doesn't mean he is unwilling to take responsibility.
Even if Konoha gave him a mission that meant he would die, he would complete it with his life. To die on the road of protecting Konoha was what he had always hoped for.
Without such belief, those people would not have joined him in the mission.
The second, third, and fourth generation Hokage, all three of them had carried out missions with him. Konoha White Fang, Jiraiya, one of the legendary three ninjas, had also carried out missions with him.
As expected by Nagase, Gu Jie declined his invitation.
Yongze was not discouraged. Given Gu Jie's experience, it would be strange if Gu Jie simply agreed.
"Maruboshi Senior, I know your true strength is not just that of a Genin, you are more than capable of being a Jonin."
Nagase first stated that he knew Kosuke's true strength, and then continued:
“The reason why we created the special warfare squad this time and created a group of ninjas who are good at swordsmanship is because I created a breathing method that can improve the strength of swordsmanship ninjas.
If someone with a talent for swordsmanship learns the breathing technique and practices it over the years, his strength will be greatly improved.
If it is a ninja like you, Maruboshi, who already has excellent swordsmanship, you will be able to learn it quickly, so I would like to ask you to be the deputy monitor. "
Nagase directly throws out the breathing method, hoping to arouse Gu Jie's curiosity.
"A breathing method that can improve the strength of a swordsman... Konoha is not without jonin who are good at swordsmanship, so why come to me?"
A hint of curiosity flashed across Gu Jie's face at first, but then he quickly returned to normal and declined again.
He still couldn't get over the shadow of that incident. He was really afraid that if he became the team leader, he would make another wrong decision and kill his companions.
He just wanted to be an ordinary Genin and silently contribute his strength to Konoha.
Yongze thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't want to be the deputy monitor, you can be an ordinary member."
Although it is a bit unfair to Gu Jie, an elite jonin, there is nothing we can do if Gu Jie himself does not want to be the deputy monitor.
"If you're an ordinary member, I have no problem with that." Gu Jie finally agreed.
He felt that this special warfare squad directly under the Hokage was trying to forge a sharp blade for Konoha to carry out some difficult combat missions.
It is somewhat similar to the Anbu, but more inclined towards combat than the Anbu.
"Once the members are confirmed, I will notify you to gather and learn the breathing method." Nagase said and left.
Since Gu Jie cannot come out of the shadow for the time being, he cannot force Gu Jie to be the deputy monitor.
Nagase still admires people like Kosuke who silently contribute to Konoha in secret.
As for why Gu Jie must be the deputy monitor, of course it is because Gu Jie is suitable.
As a person admired by the Third Hokage and many powerful people, it goes without saying that Gu Jie is very powerful. Coupled with his superb swordsmanship, no one is more suitable to be the deputy monitor than him.
Only by putting the right people in the right positions can we achieve the fastest development and improve prosperity.
After leaving Gujie's residence, Nagase went to Orochimaru's laboratory to see the progress of Orochimaru's experiment.
Orochimaru's experiment is also the key to rapidly improving prosperity.
As long as you find a suitable candidate, implant the secondary Hashirama cells and the Sharingan, and train for a period of time, you can create a Kage-level person.
Because the two of them have been using unregistered members of the Root for experiments, those people are not considered the power of Konoha at all, they can only be regarded as Danzo's personal armed forces, so even if the experiment is successful, it will not improve the prosperity.
However, the advantage of this is that you will not lose points or decrease prosperity if you die.
Since Konoha has been quite peaceful during this period, Nagase doesn't know whether more points were deducted due to the death of strong people, or more points were added due to the new enhanced people, or maybe they were the same.
Finding the familiar well, Nagase released the ritual and walked into Orochimaru's base.
When he arrived at the experimental area of the base, Nagase saw Orochimaru who was concentrating on doing experiments.
The two were quite familiar with each other, so Nagase walked directly to Orochimaru's side and watched him quietly while he did the experiment.
Orochimaru was extremely meticulous when conducting experiments; his movements were orderly and smooth, as if he had everything under control.
After it was over, Orochimaru took a breath, raised the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and said to Nagasawa: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Yongze shook his head and said, "It's okay. I just wanted to see the progress of your experiment."
"After ten experimental subjects, I roughly understand the key point of the experiment, which is spiritual energy." Orochimaru said.
“Although in theory the physical energy of the secondary Hashirama cells is not much stronger than the spiritual energy of the three-magatama Sharingan.
But when the two sides meet, they will stimulate each other's growth. At that time, the small gap will gradually widen, and finally the experimental subject will be devoured by the secondary Hashirama cells and die. "
"If the spiritual energy is strong and eventually suppresses the physical energy, it will only cause the test subject's personality to change slightly, becoming more irritable and withdrawn, and the body will be slightly weaker than a normal test subject.
These costs are undoubtedly much lighter than dying from being corroded by Hashirama's cells."
"If we start from the perspective of spiritual energy, then the best candidate for the experimental subject is the illusion ninja." Nagase said after thinking for a while.
Illusion belongs to Yin Dun, and a person who is strong in illusion represents a powerful spiritual energy.
Orochimaru nodded, and then said: "In fact, it is best to be able to achieve a balance. There will be no side effects. Both the spirit and the body will be the strongest, but it is too difficult to achieve a balance."
You don’t know until you try it, and you’ll be surprised when you do.
Orochimaru now even has doubts about his own experiments. Is it really useful to study Hashirama's cells
Secondary Hashirama cells can overwhelm the highest level three-magatama Sharingan.
However, compared with the real Hashirama cells, the secondary Hashirama cells are not even close.
Orochimaru actually didn't want to call it Secondary Hashirama Cells, he wanted to name it Yamato Cells.
Because the gap between the two is really big.
But the secondary Hashirama cells are so corrosive, where can he find something that can balance the Hashirama cells
