3 days later inside a Cave in the Country of Birds.
The four shinobi of class-11 were sitting around the bonfire, eating, chatting, and discussing
It has been 3 days since their battle against the Rock unit in the Country of Bears, since everyone except Shisui was more or less injured so Kakashi decided to take a short break in the Country of Bird.
As for what happened in the final battle against the wandering ninjas you ask? It's obvious. Although Kuroto was quite injured but still had enough strength and after their battle with Guy the enemy ninjas were also injured not to mention Shisui and Guy soon arrived.
After killing all the enemy ninjas, the four people gathered all the information about the ambush attack only to find that in addition to the 4-person team of Rock Beheading unit, there were a total of 24 wandering-nin from the country of Bears that participated in the ambush.
Of the total ambush party, their captain Iwamoto took the initiative to deal with Kuroto, and the remaining three members of the beheading unit led 8 wandering-nin each, after Kakashi, Shisui, and Guy.
Iwamoto was an elite Jonin, there is no doubt that the remaining three members of the beheading unit were also Jonin, and the wandering-nin also had the strength of above genin class.
If you think about it, this was already a powerful force, what's more, the battle started from an ambush, so for Class-11 to even make it out alive would have already been a big achievement not to mention they completed annihilated the enemy force.
Among the four shinobi, Shisui had the easiest time eliminating the enemy, with the Mangekyou even ordinary genjutsu attacks are much more dangerous so the rock ninja that went after him didn't even get the chance of casting any ninjutsu and died without putting up any resistance.
Without the command to lead them, the wandering-nin also died one after another in the same way, from Shisui's description it seemed all too easy that the other three of the Class-11 kind of felt depressed!
Kakashi's performance was only slightly inferior to Shisui's. Because his body cannot bear the burden of Sharingan, so even if he has the largest chakra among the four, it's continuously consumed by the Sharingan, which is why even an A-level ninjutsu Chidori is too much for. Therefore, after the battle, it is normal for him to collapse.
Guy's fight was not very interesting.
This is also natural, as no matter how much effort he puts, Guy still hasn't grown up so his natural strength is still not very high, unless he uses 'Eight Gates' it is difficult for him to go against one Jonin plus 8 near chunin class ninjas, so him managing to stay alive is already more than one could ask for.
In Kuroto's opinion, his performance wasn't bad either.
The only part that makes him depressed was that he was being led around by the enemy for most of the battle, and the fact that he was deceived by Iwamoto at the end, that put him in an extremely dangerous situation, he still gets a cold sweat thinking of that suicide blast.
This battle gave Kuroto the understanding that he is still too green, he may have gained the strength but he isn't experienced enough to use it effectively.
Kakashi didn't agree with Kuroto's thought as he shook his head and bluntly denied, "In Konoha, very few people can kill the leader of Beheading unit! So, your performance is actually more than just impressive"
Kuroto asked curiously, "Why? Is he that dangerous, I mean I know Iwamoto is dangerous obviously, but he can be such a threat?"
"Of course!" Kakashi nodded while continuing, "As far as I know there are only 7 beheading units in the Rock village, of those 7 one units one was besieged by more than 100 shinobi of our village but almost all the shinobi of our village died in that battle!"
Guy was surprised: "More than 100 shinobi were eliminated by just 1 unit?"
Kakashi nodded seriously: "Well, that battle was very tragic, although that unit was eliminated, only 7 of our shinobi came out alive."
"Several of the elite Jonins of the Uchihas were also killed by Rock's beheading unit," Shisui added.
Guy was a little shocked and muttered, "Then did we do a good job? By the way, if we count the unit we just eliminated, does that mean only 5 beheading units are left?"
Kakashi again shook his head, "No! There are only 2 left. 2 of them were annihilated by Yondaime-sama and 1 was eliminated by Sandaime Raikage!"
Hearing Kakashi mention this Kuroto subconsciously muttered, "No wonder Iwamoto had so much hatred towards Yondaime-sama!"
Iwamoto mentioned 'Yellow Flash' more than a few times during the battle.
Only now Kuroto understands the resentment Iwamoto had towards Yondaime-sama and where does it come from, "It wasn't just because of the incident that time... huh?"
"We have more pressing issues that we need to be worried about now! I am afraid Rock Village will use this incident to cause some disturbances!"
Listening to Kakashi mention this Kuroto leaned against the wall and said in a carefree manner: "Well, too bad! What is there to be worried about? This matter will be up to Hokage-sama, we were just defending, it's not like we could just let them kill us without putting up resistance, can we?"
Guy suddenly raised his hand, "By the way, why did they ambush us anyway?"
Listening to Guy's question both Kakashi and Shisui turned to look at Kuroto.
Kuroto only shrugged in response: "Don't look at me, I am not very clear either!"
Even Kuroto isn't very sure why Iwamoto was so obsessed with killing him? It shouldn't just be because he feared Kuroto would eventually become another Yellow Flash? Because if that's the case then it's too dumb!
And even if that really is the case, Kuroto can't come to publicize such a thing.
Once such a thing spreads out, it would attract too much attention to him, the hostility of the entire Rock Village not to mention the unwanted attention of people like SHIMURA DANZO!
After all, Kuroto was promoted to the rank of a Special Jonin just about a month ago, the rapid increase in strength has already brought too much attention to him that he isn't willing to seek now. If it becomes known that the captain of the Beheading unit of Rock Village came after him because he considered him a threat on the same level as Yellow Flash; then it would get increasingly difficult for him to hide the Tenseigan.
Kuroto is already feeling a headache after knowing just how big of a matter being able to eliminate Iwamoto is! He doesn't have any idea how to explain this matter in the report; after all, according to common sense, a recently promoted Special Jonin shouldn't even be capable of competing against an elite Jonin, much less being able to kill him.
Sigh… Kuroto could only try not to think about it for some peace of mind.
After everyone had their fill, Shisui took the initiative to keep the watch.
Kuroto naturally had no objection as his injuries were the most severe.
Guy also smiled and said, "You don't have to watch for the whole night, I will watch from midnight."
After a few days of rest in the Country of Birds, Class-11 finally returned to the village and this time there was no trouble on the route so they returned safely.
Because it was an Anbu mission directly under Hokage-sama's order, they reported the details of the mission in the Land of Demons to Sandaime-sama.
After hearing that the Demon Moryo had the strength comparable to a tailed beast, Sandaime-sama were also surprised, and that surprise only became more apparent as he learned of the ambush party Class-11 encountered, by the time the team leader and proctor Kakashi conveyed all the details Hokage-sama fell into a silence.
After pondering for a long time, the details of the mission were classified as Class-S secret and sealed in the confidential archive that only the Hokage could read.
At the same time, a password was issued to all members of Class-11, any information related to the mission must be kept confidential and not be disclosed to anyone.
And finally, because of the successful completion of the mission, the three members of Class-11 were officially appointed as Anbu, which means the test was considered to have passed...
Even Guy was appointed to the Anbu, which is something Kuroto can't understand…
