A certain scientific Naruto

"So, do you really want to carry out the mission as a 'team' by yourself? You don't need the help of your teammates?" Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded behind Hagoromo, and he looked at Hagoromo with a certain look in his eyes. weird.

That kind of dangerous mission must be done alone. For many ninjas, being "alone" is not a worry in terms of combat strength, but a fear on a psychological level. For them, there are no companions around them. It's just two different mentality.

But Hagoromo was obviously not like that.

"Yes, I have already decided. Orochimaru-sama does not need to confirm again and again." He looked straight ahead and said without looking back.

At this time, the two of them were on a bare cliff about ten meters above the sea. In front of Hagoromo's sight were the ebb and flow of the sea, and the rocks that were sometimes exposed and sometimes hidden.

Further ahead is the line between water and sky.

Behind that line, further out of sight, is the Kingdom of Water.

Several days have passed since the previous raid on Kirigakure, and once the war starts again, although the pace may be fast or slow, it will not stop until it is terminated.

Therefore, even if there was just a fight, Konoha's new battle plan has started again.

Judging from the results and the cost of its own casualties, Konoha's last combat operation should be said to be very successful. It destroyed a large amount of materials hoarded by the enemy for group operations, destroyed a stronghold, killed 600 to 800 enemies, and suffered 200 own casualties. Within, there are also the enemy's high-end combat power Xiguashan Puffer Ghost and others.

After this battle, Orochimaru decided to pursue the victory and further attack the enemy's intelligence and logistics system, so that Konoha could gain a systemic advantage in the subsequent war.

The specific mission arrangement is to send some ninjas to conduct infiltration operations into the Kingdom of Water.

The content includes the acquisition, mastering and transmission of Kirigakure combat intelligence, the reconnaissance, infiltration and destruction of the enemy's actions. At the same time, you can also choose to annihilate the enemy's small forces while avoiding exposing yourself and ensuring safety as much as possible.

To give a high-level summary of Lord Orochimaru's combat thinking, it can be condensed into five words. This is called martial arts behind enemy lines... cough, ninja team behind enemy lines.

Ninjas who perform such tasks naturally need to be bold, careful, and strong, good at disguise, role-playing, and proficient in one-hit kills, technical explosions, and running away.

High-level tasks require high-level ninjas to perform, and Jounin Hagoromo is also considered a high-level ninja.

The operation is still carried out in small teams. Depending on the task breakdown and the specific situation of the ninjas, the ninjas participating in the task are divided into four-person teams, three-person teams, and two-person teams.

A two-person team is almost the minimum, but Hagoromo demands that he act independently.

"You are quite confident in your own skills..." Orochimaru seemed to be sighing.

It was just a simple sigh, with no praise or disparagement in it.

But Yuyi shook his head. Making such a decision was of course related to his judgment of his own strength, but it was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that it was more convenient for him to do many things alone.

Although he cannot claim to be an all-around player, his strength in all aspects is indeed relatively balanced and comprehensive, including ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. Although the latter is slightly weaker, he understands them all. Kushina is incompetent in sealing and barrier ninjutsu. He can almost be classified as one of the top professors in Konoha among the professors he retains, not to mention that he himself has a clear mind and unique ideas... the most important thing is that he is also very good at escaping.

This last point is extremely important on enemy territory.

On the contrary, although bringing teammates has certain benefits, it will basically not improve Hagoromo's combat effectiveness. On the contrary, there will be restrictions... To make a simple explanation, if there are no people from Konoha If he follows, he can fire whenever he wants, but if there are companions from Konoha, in order to avoid inconsistencies in his words and the instantaneous railgun arousing the attention and fear of some people, he I can only seal away that sharp move.

Dare to make such a decision, the idea of ​​"individual is better than the team" is very important.

Hagoromo sometimes thinks this way, it's not surprising that one ninja is better than a team of ninjas.

There is a joke that Naruto is a story about "teamwork", but based on Hagoromo's ambiguous memory, he only remembers that the end of the story is about a team of bad guys fighting another big bad guy - I have to say that he The memory and summary are still very accurate. If the seventh team gathers to fight Kaguya, it is not called teamwork. If the tenth team kills the BOSS together, then it is called teamwork.

No matter how nice the words are, the real situation is that simple: personal strength trumps everything else. If a person can accomplish something alone, why should a second person be added?

"This has nothing to do with self-confidence. It is more convenient for me to move alone... I am very confident in disguise. If I add teammates, it will only increase my burden and the possibility of exposure." Hagoromo said.

He is a master of disguise in another sense, he has been self-taught since childhood... In a sense, isn't he pretending to be in Konoha?

However, this kind of statement that almost expressed the clear meaning of "my teammates are a burden to me" not only did not make Orochimaru feel disgusted and overestimated, on the contrary, he appreciated this statement very much.

After all, Uncle Snake is different from other Konoha ninjas. He has always maintained his own unique thinking circuit and has not been poisoned by the "Will of Fire".

Because of his outstanding personal ability, he also felt that his teammates were a burden when leading a team. Why did he need four people to do something that he could do alone? And it’s extremely inefficient.

"In this case, be careful. The mission will start in three days." Orochimaru warned again, "Don't die in the Kingdom of Water for this kind of mission... This is my personal expectation."

Orochimaru has not yet figured out some of Hagoromo's problems.

Why is it that his cells are very ordinary, and even though he is much more adaptable to thunder escape compared to ordinary people, it still does not exceed the category of "ordinary", even if he is still far from the level of Raikage, why can he What about the negative effects of immunity to Thunderbolt?

Orochimaru had seen Hagoromo release the "Thunder Escape" that exceeded the limits of a ninja, and he thought that his cells had special resistance, but the result was the opposite, which made him think about his sister.

His research direction was obviously wrong. If he wanted to study Hagoromo's abilities, he would not get any results by studying ordinary cells. At the very least, he should study brain cells.

That is something that is difficult to explain using matter or physics. Concrete superpowers are obviously not within the scope of Orochimaru's expertise.

"Understood..." Hagoromo said. He basically understood what Orochimaru meant. In short, his so-called expectation was not that his superiors cared about his subordinates.

It probably means that even if Hagoromo wants to die, he must die in the Land of Fire, and at least he must leave research materials behind.

…………

Three nights later.

There was a white figure swimming in the sea water at night.

Then, a rather large and exaggerated slug landed from the shore, and then slowly climbed forward until it passed through the coast and reached the dense forest further inland. Only then did the feather coat emerge from the slug's body.

Because his waist injury had not fully recovered and he wanted to be more secretive, he took an armed swim like this.

The Kingdom of Water has sneaked in quietly.
