Chapter 53: First Training Ground

Ninja Village represents a country's military strength. As a gathering place for ninjas, it is natural to have a public training ground. The various training grounds in the village are such places.

There are five large training grounds distributed in Konoha Village. In addition, several large families also have some small training grounds in their residences.

The first training ground is actually a special public training ground.

Compared with the other four large training grounds, it is more confidential, and special applications are usually required to enter it.

Because this place was originally intended for those ninjas who possess secret techniques and blood succession limits. Of course, their abilities are not suitable for exposure, especially if there are spies infiltrating the village and exposing the secrets of their blood succession limits. On the battlefield, it is very disadvantageous to fight an enemy who knows the information about his abilities.

Although the original intention of the village is good, in fact, there are still very few secret arts and blood successor ninjas coming to this training place.

Because several major ninja families in Konoha, such as the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, all have their own small training grounds, and some smaller occult families, such as Ino Shikacho, also prefer to find places where no one is around them. Land to practice.

The above reasons have also led to the fact that although this public training ground has the most complete facilities and the highest confidentiality in name, it is basically in a state of neglect most of the time.

"This training ground... is my first time here."

Dieyiwasi looked around curiously. In front of him was a wall. Inside the wall was probably the legendary first training ground. But standing outside at this time, of course he couldn't see anything.

In the distance, Shiranui Genma was at the gate, talking with a Konoha ninja who looked very old.

It is reasonable for such a confidential venue to have ninjas stationed there.

"Let's go to each other. After all, this is a training place arranged for those special ninjas."

The curiosity in Lei Tong's heart was not much less than that of Dieyiwaxi. While Xuanjian was still negotiating with the defenders, he suddenly had a whim and secretly made several seals, then closed his eyes. eyes.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes with a look of disappointment and withdrew the seal.

"Senior Lei Tong, what are you doing?"

Deyiwahi asked in confusion.

"Nothing, I just want to see how confidential this training ground is..."

Not to mention the depressed look on Zurei's face, the perception ninjutsu he just used did not detect the situation inside the training ground at all.

Because of the power of perception, he encountered an invisible barrier on the outside as soon as it spread, which made him believe that the confidentiality facilities of this special training ground did have a certain level.

"Let's go, let's go, Xuanjian is really slow..."

Just when Dieyiwaxi was about to say something else, Bingzu Leitong hurried towards the gate, not forgetting to greet him at the same time.

It turned out that in front of the gate in the distance, Shiranui Genma had finished negotiating with the stationed ninjas and was waving to them.

The two of them rushed to Xuanjian together, and then registered before being allowed to enter by the old man stationed at the training ground.

After walking into the training ground, the three people immediately discovered that the facilities here were indeed better than the other four training grounds. There were shooting ranges for practicing shurikens, training equipment for practicing physical skills, and even there were several different types of venues.

There is a flat open space on the training ground, a small lakeshore, and a wooded area further inside.

As soon as Genjian and the others entered the empty training ground in front of them, a blond man wearing a standard Jonin uniform appeared in everyone's sight with a ghostly flash.

"Everyone, are you all here?"

Namikaze Shuime picked up the Flying Thunder God Kunai stuck on the ground, smiled warmly, and slowly walked towards the three of them.

Just now, he has gone to check out various venues. The terrain here is rich, and it is quiet when no one is around. It can be regarded as a unique private training venue.

But there are not many people in Konoha who can think so.

After all, not just anyone can come here if they want to...

"Lord Hokage..."

"..."

After seeing the figure of Minato Namikaze, the three people in Genma's expressions became serious and they immediately bowed and saluted.

Namikaze Minato came closer, glanced at the three of them, nodded with satisfaction, and then went straight to the point: "The situation in the ninja world is likely to become tense again recently."

"So in order to cope with the possible war here, I want to test your strength and how much you have improved in this year."

Because in the near future, a local war with Kumogakure and Iwagakure will happen.

So Minato Namikaze wanted to find out today how much strength his Shadow Guards had now, and this was also to prepare for the war ahead.

Ninjas who can learn the flying thunder god are extremely rare, and once they can master the flying thunder god technique, their influence in the war cannot be ignored. Even if the three people in front of him now need to work together to use the Flying Thunder God, and their use is limited to sending people and materials, they are still very useful in wartime.

"Hokage-sama, are you going to test us?" Shiranui Genma probably understood something, and was so shocked that he almost dropped the thousand books in his mouth.

Next to them, Hinazaku Raidou and Tie Iwashi looked puzzled, obviously not understanding the meaning of Namikaze Minato's words.

Seeing this, Namikaze Minato nodded helplessly and said more directly: "Yes, I will be your opponent."

"Next, I will give you a few minutes to prepare and discuss tactics. Try to use all your abilities and don't hold back when fighting."

"After that, I will give you some guidance based on your ability types and specialties..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bingzu Leitong and Die Iwashi widened their eyes. They had heard of special jonin and jonin assessments, but had never heard of Hokage assessments.

Especially the fourth generation Hokage coming to be their opponent, it really made them feel a little terrified.

"I understand, Lord Hokage."

It was still Shiranui Genma who reacted first. At the same time, Duo also guessed what Minato Namikaze meant. Seeing that Bianzu Leitong and Die Iwashi seemed to be still in a daze of surprise, he couldn't help but remind them: "Hey, what are you two still in a daze?"

"Being able to fight against Golden Flash, such an opportunity is not available to everyone..."

After hearing what Genma said, Bianzu Leitong and Die Iwashi finally reacted at this time. Although they were a little panicked in their hearts, since this was Minato Namikaze's order, they had to do it.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what Shiranui Genma said.

Since he took office as the fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze rarely had the opportunity to take action again. Today, he was able to take time to guide the Shadow Guard. Such an opportunity is really rare.
