"Konoha's Special Combat Ninja Class? Which department is that from?" Kosuke asked in confusion. This was the first time he heard this name after so many years as a ninja.

"This is newly established. It currently does not belong to any department, but belongs directly to the Hokage. The purpose is to form a special ninja force that is good at swordsmanship." Nagaze explained.

"That's right, but I'm just a genin. It's okay for me to do the task. As for the deputy squad leader, I'm afraid it won't work. I won't be able to shoulder such a big responsibility." Gu Jie thought for a while and declined politely.

Back then, it was his command error that led to the death of two teammates. He was not worthy of leading others.

That's why he refused to be promoted to chuunin and jounin. During missions, he would often assume the role of captain.

He didn't want to cause the death of his companions because of his command errors.

But not being a Chunin and a Jonin does not mean that he is unwilling to take responsibility.

Even if Konoha gives him a mission that requires death, he will use his life to complete it. Dying on the road of protecting Konoha is what he has always wanted.

Without such belief, those people would not work with him on the mission.

The second generation, the third generation and the fourth generation, these three Hokages have all performed missions with him. Konoha White Fang and Jiraiya, the legendary Sannin, have also performed missions with him.

To Nagaze's surprise, Gu Jie declined his invitation.

Nagaze was not discouraged. With Gu Jie's experience, it would be strange if Gu Jie simply agreed.

"Maruboshi-senpai, I know that your true strength is not as simple as being a genin. You are more than enough to be a jounin."

Nagaze first stated that he knew Kosuke's true strength, and then continued:

"The reason why I created a special operations class this time to build a group of ninjas who are good at swordsmanship is because I created a breathing method that can improve the strength of swordsmanship ninjas.

If a person with talent in swordsmanship learns the breathing method and practices it all year round, his strength will be greatly improved.

If you are a ninja with good swordsmanship like you, Maruboshi-senpai, you can learn it quickly, so I would like to ask you to be the deputy squad leader."

Nagaze directly threw out the breathing method, hoping to arouse Gusuke's curiosity.

"The breathing method that can improve the strength of swordsmen... It's not like there are no Jonin in Konoha who are good at swordsmanship, so why come to me."

A hint of curiosity flashed across Gu Jie's face at first, then quickly returned to normal and declined again.

He still couldn't get over the shadow of that time. He was really afraid that he would become the team leader and then make another wrong decision and kill his companions.

He just wants to be an ordinary genin and silently contribute his strength to Konoha.

Yongze thought for a while and said: "Since you don't want to be the deputy squad leader, then ordinary members can do it."

Although it was a bit unfair to Kosuke, an elite jounin, but Kosuke himself was unwilling to be the deputy squad leader, there was nothing he could do about it.

"As for ordinary members, I have no problem." Gusuke finally agreed.

He felt that this special operations squad, which belonged directly to the Hokage, probably wanted to build a Konoha blade to carry out some difficult combat missions.

It's a bit similar to ANBU, but more focused on combat than ANBU.

"When the members are confirmed, I will notify you to gather to learn breathing techniques." Nagaze left after saying that.

Since Gu Jie can't get out of the shadows for the time being, he can't force Gu Jie to be the deputy squad leader.

Nagazawa still admired people like Kosuke who worked silently and secretly for Konoha.

As for why Gu Jie must be the deputy squad leader, of course it is because Gu Jie is suitable.

As a person who is admired by the Third Hokage and many powerful men at the same time, it goes without saying that Kosuke's strength, coupled with his superb swordsmanship, no one is more suitable for deputy squad leader than him.

Only by putting the right people in the right positions can we develop the fastest and increase prosperity.

After leaving Kosuke's residence, Nagazawa went to Orochimaru's laboratory, ready to see the progress of Orochimaru's experiments.

Orochimaru's experiment is also the focus of rapidly increasing prosperity.

As long as you find a suitable candidate, implant the secondary Hashirama cells and Sharingan, and train for a period of time, you can create a Kage.

Because the two of them have been using unregistered members for experiments, those people are not considered the power of Konoha at all, they can only be regarded as Danzo's personal weapons, so the success of the experiment will not increase the prosperity.

However, the advantage of this is that points will not be deducted and prosperity will not be lost if you die.

Since Konoha has been quite peaceful during this period, Nagazawa doesn't know whether it is the dead strong men who deducted more, the newly enhanced ones who added more, or the same thing.

Finding a familiar well, Nagazawa unlocked the technique and walked into Orochimaru's base.

When he walked to the experimental area of ​​the base, Nagazawa saw Orochimaru who was engrossed in the experiment.

The two of them were already very familiar, so Nagaze walked directly to Orochimaru and quietly watched Orochimaru do the experiment.

Orochimaru was very meticulous in his experiments, his movements were orderly and very smooth, as if he had everything under control.

After the wait was over, Orochimaru took a breath, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said to Nagazawa: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, Nagazawa-kun."

Yongze shook his head and said, "It's okay. I just wanted to see the progress of your experiment."

"After going through ten experimental subjects, I probably understood that the key point of the experiment is spiritual energy." Orochimaru said.

"Although theoretically, the physical energy of the secondary Hashirama cells is not much stronger than the mental energy of the Three Magatama Sharingan.

But after the two sides meet, they will stimulate each other's growth, and when the time comes, the small gap will gradually become larger, eventually causing the experimental subject to be phagocytized by the secondary intercolumnar cells, leading to death."

"If the mental energy is strong and the mental energy finally suppresses the physical energy, it will only cause a slight change in the personality of the experimental subject, making it more irritable and withdrawn, and the body will be a little weaker than the normal experimental subject.

These costs are undoubtedly much lighter than dying from being eroded by pillar cells."

"If we start from the perspective of spiritual energy, then the best candidate for the experimental subject is the genjutsu ninja." Nagaze thought for a while and said.

Illusion is a form of escape, and a strong illusionist means strong spiritual energy.

Orochimaru nodded, and then said: "In fact, it is best to be able to achieve balance. There will be no side effects. The mind and body are the strongest, but it is too difficult to achieve balance."

You don’t know if you don’t do the experiment, but you will be shocked once you do it.

Orochimaru now even has doubts about his experiment. Is studying Hashirama cells really useful?

The secondary Hashirama cells can overwhelm the highest level three Magatama Sharingan.

And compared with the real intercolumnar cells, the secondary intercolumn cells are not even close to the same.

Orochimaru actually didn't want to call the secondary Hashirama cells before, and wanted to call them Yamato cells.

Because the gap between the two is really big.

But the secondary pillar cells have such strong erosive power, where can he find something that can balance the pillar cells?

ps: I seem to be sick. My nose keeps running and my head feels a little hot. I may only update twice today.
