A group of 50 ninja were currently standing in a small room. They were currently dressed in their Blacklight uniform along with all their weapons and gear. In front of them was a young girl was who observing each and every one of them keenly.

The weasel masked officer in front of them gave a small nod, as everyone relaxed.

"We have been assigned an important mission behind enemy lines. Have all of you read the mission details?" asked Mikasa seriously,

"Hai" said all the ninja in unison,

"If you have any doubts or questions...now would be the time to speak" said Mikasa calmly, and she patiently watched as Genma stepped forward.

"Captain, is the intel accurate? We do not want the tragedy of Shuri Castle or the last mission to happen again..." said Genma politely, and she noticed the same question in the eyes of almost all her comrades.

"Everyone, I know how you feel. There is a lot of risk in this mission...but we have to do this in order to end this war. We owe this to all of our fallen comrades.." said Mikasa encouragingly,

"What is our plan, Captain?" asked Izumo faithfully, if Naruto believed she was fit to lead...then he would place his faith in Mikasa.

A small smile came on Mikasa's face as she spotted all of her friends faithfully standing in front of her. Genma, Izumo, Rangiku, Hana and the now recovered Shizune, Iwashi and Anko had volunteered to join in this mission in order to support her.

The latter 3 had just joined a few hours ago, and were saddened on discovering Naruto's death. But despite that, they were ready to fight for her...

"We will be dividing ourselves into 2 teams each having a strength of 24 ninja. I will be leading one team, while Wolf you will be leading the other one" explained Mikasa briefly,

"Understood, Captain" said Izumo devotedly, as Mikasa showed a hand made drawing of the enemy position.

"The depot is surrounded by walls from all sides, electricity is constantly passing through the barbed wires making it impossible for us to jump over the walls. That leaves us with only 2 options" said Mikasa seriously,

"We can either attack from the air and land directly within the depot, or attack it from outside" suggested Iwashi (Eagle) analytically,

"Precisely, we don't know what kind of traps the enemy has placed in the ground. So our only option would be a sudden aerial strike. We cannot just drop bombs on the place as it would attract the attention of the nearby enemy forces and we would get boxed in. We need to go in there quietly and finish it off, leave no survivors" instructed Mikasa,

"Hai"

"Captain, we still need to keep a team outside the perimeter of the depot...just in case if some enemy forces that are stationed outside try to get away and get more reinforcements" suggested Rangiku smartly,

"Impressive, Bird (Rangiku)...you do present a very valid point. You are quite skilled in stealth and are an expert marksmen, you will be on the outer perimeter" said Mikasa seriously,

"I'll be her backup...if that's okay with you, Captain?" asked Anko expectantly,

"Be careful out there" said Mikasa worriedly, after all these two girls were her new friends...and she didn't want them to get hurt.

"We'll be starting the mission at 2200 hours, the enemy forces must be neutralized within 1 hour...and after destruction of that place, we will be falling back towards the LZ where aerial transports would be waiting for us at 4000 hours. Make no mistake, don't get separated that forest is one of the most dangerous places of our world...even the Nidaime Hokage (Tobirama) lost his life here" warned Mikasa seriously,
