After leaving Shiraishi's office, Kazuki returned to the Thorns Team lounge with the Jonin roster.

As a spearhead force specially established by the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts, every time the military has a major task or faces a dangerous enemy, the Thorns Team is the first to rush to the forefront of the battlefield.

It becomes a sharp knife in the hands of the military that pierces the heart of the enemy.

Based on this, the treatment of the Thorn Team in the military is naturally excellent. The military also gave the members of the Thorn Team great benefits in the lounge and office space.

Yi Ji returned here and found that there were only two people stationed here in the spacious and luxurious lounge, and the other few people were missing, making the lounge look extremely empty.

"Are you two the only ones here? Where did the others go?"

Ichiki held the Jonin roster under her arm and did not open it immediately. Instead, she asked the only two people in the lounge.

These two are rare female ninjas in the Thorns Group, one big and one small.

The older woman was in her thirties, but she looked as if she was in her twenties, and she looked very young.

She stood here quietly, holding a tea cup in her hand, with long vertical black hair, giving people an aesthetic feeling of admiring a classical woman.

Summer Star is the name of this female ninja.

He was originally a Jounin of the Star Ninja Village. After he was incorporated into the Demon Country's military in the Star Ninja Village, he successfully stood out from all the Jounin with his strong strength and was successfully selected into the Thorn Team. He is good at the Peacock Magic, which is an extremely rare aerial combat.

Type Ninja. In terms of maneuverability and flexibility, the peacock technique he masters is even better than the flying ninja tools produced in the Kingdom of Demons.

The other person is slightly petite. Like Xia Xingxing, he has long black straight hair and white pupils. He is sitting on the sofa with a quiet atmosphere surrounding him, giving him a quiet and gentle temperament.

Sunflower.

She looks to be only about twenty years old, about the same age as Ichihime. She is one of the leaders of the younger generation of the Hyuga clan in the Kingdom of Demons. In terms of strength alone, she can also be ranked among the Jonin in the Kingdom of Demons.

forefront.

It's just that because he was selected into the Thorns Group early, his reputation is not obvious, but he also likes a quiet personality, and he doesn't seem to value things like reputation very much. Generally speaking, he is a person who doesn't pay much attention to fame and wealth, but he does care about self-improvement.

A ninja who takes things too seriously.

When I joined the Thorn Group, I was also thinking about how to improve my ninja strength faster.

Ichihime always feels that the Hyuga clan in the Kingdom of Demons does not seem to pay much attention to the cultivation of appearance and temperament. Under the leadership of her 'little mother' Hyuga Ayane, the Hyuga clan is very interested in the cultivation of force, and gradually becomes more and more similar to the Uchiha.

The characteristics of the clans began to overlap.

This may have something to do with the personality of the leader of the clan.

Seeing Ichiji come in, Hinata stood up from the sofa and quickly responded to Ichiji's question: "They said they wanted to go out to relax and treat themselves in the barbecue restaurant. Captain, yes

Is there something important that needs to be called back?"

Yiji thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Forget it, since they are having a party and it's a little inappropriate now, there's no need to disturb them. Besides, it's not anything particularly important."

As she said that, she picked up the roster folder between her arms and raised it slightly to Hinata Kui and Natsu Hoshi.

"Captain, this is..."

Not only Hinata Aoi, but also Natsuhi Hoshi is curious about the documents in Ichiji's hand.

"This is the Jonin roster that the old man gave me. He just told me in the office that the recent completion of the mission of the Thorn Team was not very satisfactory to him, and some combat power needs to be added."

Yi Ji said without blushing and her heart not beating.

She couldn't attack and say that the strength of the team members was so poor that she, the captain, could not fully utilize her strength.

Therefore, Ichiji did not hesitate to put the proposer of this plan on Shiraishi's head.

Anyway, my old man is already a resentful being outside of people and gods. If there are more lice on his body, he probably won’t take it seriously.

Nia Xing and Hinata looked at each other, then lowered their heads in shame, feeling uneasy.

Although I don't know where I went wrong, since the top leaders of the military have said such words, it seems that it is not without purpose.

"However, you two don't need to worry too much. That old guy is already forty years old and is probably about to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. It is inevitable that he will be a little hesitant in doing things recently. He is dissatisfied here and there, just like a menopausal woman. After all,

No matter how brilliant the achievements were in the past, now he is just a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly and a lack of work. So you just have to do your part."

Ichiji comforted Natsuhi and Hinata Aoi, with an expression of indignation on her face, like an upright leader who upholds justice and grievances for his subordinates, with no room for sand in his eyes.

After hearing this, Niaxia Xing and Hinata Kuei felt a little comforted and grateful.

Compared with the unattainable Minister of Military Affairs, the captain Yi Ji has frequent contact with them and can give them a greater sense of identity.

However, the two of them did not think that the Minister of Military Affairs was a so-called middle-aged greasy man, and they could not imagine that he was pot-bellied and indolent. After all, two years ago, he personally took people to Miaomu Mountain, one of the Three Holy Lands.

I can't say that such a leader is unique, but at least he uses force to make his own people feel at ease.

These malicious comments coming out of Yi Ji's mouth are probably the 'warm' daily life between father and daughter.

"Then, the purpose of bringing this document back is..."

Hinata Aoi looked at the document in Ichiji's hand and had a guess in her mind.

"As you guessed, the old man asked me to select a few outstanding jounin from the roster to make up for the team's lack of combat effectiveness. Although I really want to refuse."

Ichiki casually sat on the sofa opposite Hinata Aoi, put down the jounin list in her hand, and calmly threw some lice at Shiraishi.

Xia Xiaxing quickly prepared a glass of iced juice for her.

Yiji picked up the Bingzhen juice and drank it all in one gulp. In this hot season, the most comfortable thing is to blow the air conditioner in the office, drink Bingzhen juice, and then spend time leisurely, waiting to return from get off work. Rest at home.

However, Kazuki's laid-back look made Hinata Aoi, who had a more serious personality, feel tremendous pressure. She took the jounin roster and began to study it carefully one by one, hoping to find some who could join the Thorn Team and compete with them.

Colleagues who work together.

It's just that since the Demon Kingdom's military has grown, the number of Jonin has already surged to 300.

This number may not seem to be much, but the number of jounin produced by the ninja villages of other major countries will never exceed this number. In this regard, only Kumogakure, whose military power is also extremely strong, is qualified to compete with ghosts in this regard.

countries on a par with each other.

Followed by Kirigakure and Konoha, Iwagakure and Sunagakure are at the bottom. The number of jounin may be just over 200. These two villages have been given special attention by the military.

Even so, it would take a long time for Hinata Aoi to browse through the information of more than 300 Jonin. Not to mention, it is impossible to browse such an important roster and find a suitable one to join the team.

Forbearance, at least I have to flip through this roster a dozen times before I give up.

Finally, it depends on whether you are willing to work in the Thorns Group. If the other party is not willing, you cannot force the other party to join, otherwise it will easily lead to disagreements among colleagues.

"Captain, what do you think?"

Compared to Hinata Aoi, who was already in the state of selecting people, Natsuhi knew that Kazuhime's thoughts were the most important. Judging from the way she threw the list away, she probably didn't like the jounin on the list.

It's a bit rude to say this, but Xia Xingxing believes that the Thorns Group has hindered Yi Ji's development.

With the opponent's strength, he could have killed everyone in action alone, fighting without any worries.

The Thorns Group is more like a heritage in Yiji's name, but it is also a shackles on the opponent.

After thinking about this, Xia Xing directly asked Yi Ji what he thought.

"These jounin are capable in conventional battles."

Yi Ji put down the empty cup in her hand and placed it on the coffee table in front of her, commenting like this without being salty.

When ninjas reach the jounin level, they are all a group of beings who have developed their own unique abilities. Among them, even the weakest special jounin will have a huge gap compared with the regular chuunin. It can be said that it can be done

None of the ninjas at this level are mediocre.

Yi Ji's evaluation is just telling the truth.

But Xia Xing heard another meaning. Although these jounin abilities were good, the Thorn Team needed ninjas stronger than them to join them.

In the past, as a Jonin of the Star Ninja Village, she had participated in the management of the village. Therefore, she also had some experience in selecting and appointing people. She was like Hinata Aoi, a young Jonin who had great strength but poor management ability.

Different, she is not only excellent in terms of strength, but also has rich management experience.

In the Thorns Group, she is one of the few members who can discuss the group's development plan with Yiji.

Therefore, Xia Xing couldn't help but frowned in embarrassment at Yiji's suggestion.

In reality, there is no shortage of top-level ninjas in the Demon Country's military. Ninjas at the level of the Five Kages, if you search carefully, it is not too difficult to pick out a dozen or so.

But these top ninjas either hold important positions and cannot be easily transferred from their positions without instructions from their superiors, or they are the team leaders and will not be subordinated to others. Even if Ichiji personally invites them, they will not be in the thorn team.

Take the post and work for Yiji.

"Captain, how about Uchiha Sasuke? He is a newcomer to the military, and he has the ability to defeat the Sharingan Itachi and invade Konoha."

From Xia Xing's point of view, such a newcomer is the easiest group to win over among the top ninjas.

As far as she knew, many high-level cadres in the military were eyeing the other party and wanted to transfer him to serve under their command.

"No, the old man said that he will not be inferior to others. Besides, he is currently involved with Kakashi Hatake of the Intelligence Department, so he will probably not be invited. Even if he is invited, he will follow Kakashi Hatake."

Yiji shook her head.

"So, where is Saijounin?"

Xia Xing proposed again, thinking of Yiji's half-brother.

Although there is already a white-eyed ninja in the Thorns team, the team has no special rules and does not allow ninjas with the same bloodline to join together.

In Xia Xingxing's impression, the half-brother of his captain is not only humble and low-key, but also very capable. He is definitely qualified to become the number two figure in the group.

"He has been working in the security force recently, and it will be difficult to transfer him."
