"If we can choose one target and destroy it, we'll definitely teach Kusagakure Village a profound lesson. What do you guys think?"
After sending out the assembly signal, Kaze said to the four Root squad leaders who had rushed over.
"I think Squad Leader Kaze's proposal is good. Right now, Kusagakure Village's defenses are weak. It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
After a moment of pondering, a Root squad leader responded first.
This man was Yefeng, a member of the Yamanaka branch family. He had orange-yellow hair, was in his early thirties, and had a strong build.
The remaining three discussed for a while. Soon, another squad leader voiced his opinion.
"We also support Squad Leader Kaze's idea. Only by hitting Kusagakure Village hard can we let them know the consequences of offending Konoha!"
The plan proposed by Kaze was quite feasible.
But if someone else took the lead, it might not gain the support of these arrogant squad leaders.
It was precisely because of Kaze's special status that everyone was willing to give him face.
"Then we need to come up with a plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Kusagakure Village takes precautions, it'll be difficult to make a move."
Kaze looked around at everyone and said, "If you have any ideas, feel free to share them."
"I suggest setting the target as the ninja hospital in Kusagakure Village," a Root squad leader said.
"First, compared with the other two locations, the hospital's defenses are definitely weaker. Second, there are many wounded in the hospital, so hostages can be found everywhere."
What he said made a lot of sense. Everyone looked at Kaze with inquiring looks.
Kaze immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, then let's set the hospital as our target!"
After setting the goal, Yefeng spoke up again.
"I've read the memories of several Grass ninjas and roughly know the defense layout of their hospital. I should be able to lead everyone past the guards. Count our team in for the surprise attack squad."
"Then let Squad Leaders Kaze, Yefeng, and Seiven Hyūga lead the infiltration," the previous Root squad leader said.
"Our two squads will create a ruckus and draw the fire for you. After you complete the mission, we'll come to pick you up. How about that?"
"Fine."
After setting the general tone, the five of them began to refine the plan.
During the discussion, Kaze glanced at Squad Leader Seiven Hyūga beside him from time to time.
Why was she chosen to lead the surprise attack?
Because she was the beautiful young woman from the Hyūga clan under Kaze's father that he had always been coveting.
The strategic significance of the Byakugan needless to say.
Seiven Hyūga looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features and a graceful figure. She was like a combination of Hinata and Hanabi, sweet and charming yet also capable.
It was a pity that the greenish "Caged Bird" mark on her forehead tainted her stunningly beautiful face.
"With the Byakugan and the Yamanaka clan's Mind Body Switch Technique, this surprise attack should..."
Don't be a bad omen!
"Smack!"
Kaze gave himself a hard slap, which left the surrounding squad leaders stunned.
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's continue."
Kaze waved his hand and said, "Continue the discussion."
Kusagakure Village.
Three Root squads dispersed and easily infiltrated the village, then gathered in the small garden beside the ninja hospital.
"The defenses of Kusagakure Village are really..." Yefeng Yamanaka trailed off.
"Really extremely weak, right?" Yuto took a sip of his wine and cheerfully continued the conversation.
The hospital in Kusagakure Village was very imposing, standing at four or five stories tall. In the world of the Hokage, it was considered a high - rise building.
"The more luxurious it is, the more fun I'll have blowing it up later, heh heh."
Kaze smiled and looked at Seiven Hyūga, who was holding her breath and observing the hospital intently, and asked,
"How's it going, Squad Leader Seiven Hyūga? Have you figured out the structure of this hospital?"
Seiven Hyūga nodded slightly, took out a pen and paper, and started drawing a rough schematic of the hospital.
"These are the key load - bearing parts on each floor. If we destroy these places simultaneously, we can collapse the whole building."
Seiven Hyūga's schematic was simple and easy to understand. After the group communicated, they memorized the locations to be blown up.
"There are five floors in total. So, two people will be responsible for each floor," Kaze arranged.
"Yefeng, Squad Leader Seiven Hyūga, you two will work together. Your task is to deal with the security inside the hospital and pave the way for the other groups. No problem, right?"
"No problem," Yefeng Yamanaka and Seiven Hyūga replied one after another.
"Good. Then after the brothers outside start the action, we'll begin ours," Kaze said.
Soon, there were sounds of commotion outside Kusagakure Village, and the village was in chaos.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
One after another, Kusagakure squads ran out. Even several squads from the hospital rushed out and hurriedly headed towards the village entrance.
However, the group didn't rush in. They calmly counted the explosive tags in their arms.
"We can start the operation."
Only after Seiven Hyūga nodded did the group enter the hospital in batches and start their operation during the chaos.
"Minato, are you nervous?" Kaze whispered.
He was in a group with Minato. The two were dressed as injured Kusagakure ninjas and strolled leisurely in the hospital.
Both of them were fast and voluntarily took on the task of placing explosive tags on the fifth floor, which was the most difficult floor to evacuate from.
"A little, but not much," Minato replied in Kaze's tone.
Their young ages were really misleading. In the eyes of others, they were just two thin and handsome teenagers.
No one would ever imagine that these two were actually sly thugs from Konoha.
The two wandered up to the fifth floor without arousing any suspicion and successfully reached a load - bearing wall.
Seeing that there was no one around.
Kaze pasted several explosive tags on the back side of the trash can next to the wall.
After setting the explosion time, he pushed the trash can firmly against the wall.
"Let's go to the next place." The two separated and sped up.
Since they were responsible for the top floor, the evacuation time reserved for them was the shortest.
"We're going to spend a lot of money on this mission..."
"Minato sighed inwardly.
The explosive tags they used were specially made by the Anbu. They were extremely powerful, no less than a Jonin's Fire Release attack. Therefore, they were quite expensive.
A single explosive tag cost five thousand ryo.
To blow up this whole building, they needed at least a hundred explosive tags. That meant half a million ryo!
It's just that Kaze and the others were rich and didn't care about the cost. Otherwise, other ninjas wouldn't have been willing to do such a thing.
"Sharingan!"
On the way, when Kaze was setting up the explosive tags, he accidentally bumped into a Grass ninja. But it didn't matter; he used the Sharingan.
He directly handed the explosive tag to the Grass ninja and asked the other person to help him set up the last one.
"If I could easily expose the Sharingan, I could flatten this place by myself!" Kaze muttered.
After the mission was completed, he quickly rushed to the other side of the hospital to meet up with Minato.
"Minato, are you done? It's time for us to leave," Kaze whispered.
Surprisingly, Minato didn't move. Instead, he pointed at a half - opened door in front of him and said with a trembling voice.
"Kaze, look."
"Huh?" Kaze was a bit confused. He looked inside the door in the direction Minato was pointing.
When he looked, his eyes widened in shock.
"This... This is... Holy cow!"
