After drinking the tea, Shisui went out of the house si was now time for the meeting with his eam. He arrived at the designated location, where three of the fastest Anbu Jonin were waiting for him.

  This elite team had been handpicked from his previous team for their speed and bat skills, making them the perfect choice for this high-stakes mission.

  Their birength would be more than enough to hahe Root base, whily housed in-level ninja. The team also included Shingi, who, while not as fast as the rest of them, was necessary due to his fuinjutsu expertise.

  “Good m, everyone,” Shisui greeted, his voice calm but resolute.

  “Good m, Shisui-san,” the three Anbu Jonin responded in unison, each of them nodding respectfully.

  “Everyohe pn Shikaku-sama had sent, right?” Shisui asked.

  “Yes, sir,” everyone said.

  “We have a clear objective: remove the Root base in Kumogakure and eliminate everyone inside. So this mission is going to be an easy one, sihe base only has 12 in and 15 Genin. This should be quick work for us,” Shisui said, wasting no time.

  “Yes, sir, but we have to go to the Land of Lightning, so I think the danger is still very high,” one of the Anbu ninja said.

  “This is an A-rank mission. Of course, this is going to be difficult, but if we maintain proper alertness, this will be a piece of cake for us. And what to worry about? We were able to plete a mission in the Land of Iron without gettied. The Land of Lightning is not going to be that difficult,” Shisui said.

  (A.N: The Land of Iron has Samurai, and Samurai are much higher in han Ninjas in any single ninja vilge. Also, the Land of Iron is much smaller in area pared to the Land of Lightning, so there is a rger density of Samurai in the Land of Iron than the density of ninja in the Land of Lightning. That’s why Shisui said those things ^~^)

  “Any more doubts?” Shisui asked.

  “No, sir,” everyone said.

  “Great. Then we will modify anything needed in the pn after reag our destination,” Shisui said.

  The team set off immediately, their movements swift and silent. They traveled at top speed, reag the outskirts of Kumogakure in record time.

  “From here on, we will remain on full alert. Even though the patrols are very rexed in this area, there is still some risk of us gettied. So follow my lead without making any sound,” Shisui said, activating his Sharingan, though only to the 3-tomoe level. There was o tire himself before any major i.

  They once again started moving. Luckily, this base was also oskirts of the Land of Lightning, quite far away from Kumogakure. There was no way Danzo was going to take such a big risk of sending his ninjas, even though they were in, very deep into eerritory.

  As they approached the Root base, they quickly assessed the situation. The base was well-hidden and was guarded by a ninja in Kumogakure’s uniform. If not for their prior knowledge, Shisui and his team may have guessed that this was one of the safe houses of Kumogakure.

  After cheg that the initial information was correct, Shisui gave his final orders.

  “Positions,” Shisui anded, and the team spread out, each taking up a strategic point around the base.

  Shisui sighe attack, and in a matter of mihey had breached the defehe in inside barely had time to react before they were overwhelmed by the swift and deadly strikes of Shisui and his team. One by ohe Root operatives fell, their attempts to mount a defense proving futile against the Anbu Jonin’s superior skills.

  The mission was unfoldily as phe attack team had taken their positions around the Root base, ready to strike. After firming everyone was at their designated position, Shisui gave the final and, which also became the st words those Root ninjas heard before they died.

  “ATTACK.”

  Shisui and three Anbu Jonin moved with blinding speed, their movements synized like a well-rehearsed dance. Shingi, while not as fast, provided essential support with his fuinjutsu. The base was covered in seals, and it was his job to make sure the team didn’t fall for any traps and also to remove as many seals as possible.

  As the team advahey entered a group of in-level Root ninjas. These operatives were experienced and disciplined, but they were no match for Shisui and his elite team.

  One of the Root ninjas lu Shisui, kunai in hand. Shisui sidestepped effortlessly, his Sharingaing the attack with ease. He tered with a swift kick to the side, sending the ninja crashing into the wall. Before the ninja could recover, Shisui was already upon him, delivering a precise strike to his neck with his katana.

  Meanwhile, the other Anbu Jonin ehe remaining Root ninjas. One Jonin, specializing in Taijutsu, weaved through the enemy ranks with fluid grace. He delivered a series of powerful punches and kicks, each strike nding with bone-crushing force. The Root ninjas tried to mount a defense, but their efforts were futile. The Jonin's speed and strength were overwhelming, and within moments, several Root operatives y defeated at his feet.

  Another Jonin specialized isu, wielding a sleek, razor-sharp bde. She moved with the precision of a seasoned swordsman, her bde cutting through the air with deadly accuracy. A Root ninja attempted to block her strike, but her bde easily deflected the on followed by a swift and strike that sucked the life out of the enemy’s body.

  Shingi, though not directly involved in the melee, pyed a crucial role from the background. He skillfully removed pre-set fuinjutsu traps, ensuring that none of his teammates faced any unfortunate acts.

  Shisui tio cut through the ranks of Root operatives, his Sharingan allowing him to anticipate their every move. He moved with unparalleled speed and agility, his strikes precise ahal. As he dispatched the st of the in-level ninjas, a group of Genin-level operatives attempted troup and mount a terattack.

  “Not so fast,” Shisui muttered, dashing towards them. With a series of rapid hand seals, he unleashed a powerful genjutsu, ensnaring the Genins in an illusion. They froze in pce, uo distinguish reality from the nightmare Shisui had created.

  “Finish them off,” Shisui anded, and his team swiftly moved in, incapacitating the remaining Root ninjas with practiced efficy.

  In the span of a few mihe battle was over. The Root base y in ruins, its operatives defeated and incapacitated. Shisui and his team regrouped, taking a moment to catch their breath.

  “Status report,” Shisui said, sing the area.

  “All targets ralized, no casualties on our side,” the Taijutsu master reported, his breathing steady despite the intense fight.

  “Good work, everyone. Let’s secure the area and plete the task,” Shisui ordered.

  The team moved quickly, searg the base. This time, the mission was to just shut down the base. There was ion ing back the survivors to Konoha sihe experiments were done on some Kumo Ninjas. Also, this was not particurly a stific base. There were a handful of captives in the base who were ralized swiftly by Anbu Ninjas.

  After that, they cleared all of the seals and buried the base after destroying it pletely.

  “Mission aplished. Now, let’s proceed to our location,” Shisui said, his voice calm but resolute.
