Namikaze Legend

Chapter 10 The Dark Truth.

"Seven years ago, I started "Operation Black storm", and this is where it all began..." said Minato slowly.

All the people in the room were quite curious as to what this operation was, even the Anbu commander didn't know anything about this, nor did Jiraiya, Hiruzen, Mikoto, or any of the others.

"What is this operation?" asked Danzo intriguingly.

"Danzo, you remember the losses our village suffered, in the third great ninja war?" asked Minato calmly.

"Yes, our casualties were very high. If not for the Sannin, or you, Konoha would have lost the war," said Danzo analytically.

"But, we did recover from that war, didn't we?" asked Homura curiously.

"Yes, we did, now our forces are strong, even though we don't have our Jinchuriki, we still have Jiraiya, Hiruzen, Tsunade, Minato-sama, Mikoto-sama, Kagami, Kakashi, Shisui, the entire Anbu force, and all our forces. We are strong," said Koharu firmly.

"That may be true, Koharu-san, but right now we are surrounded from all sides. Our forces will be stretched thin all across the fire country, our enemy has a very large force in comparison to us, and not to mention they have 5 Jinchuriki as well. We are not strong," said Shikaku harshly.

Everyone understood the entire situation, even though they had motivated their people, they still had to face reality. They had very little hope of winning the war.

"That is why, I launched this black ops operation," stated Minato calmly.

"What do you mean?" asked Mikoto curiously, she didn't know what secrets her husband had been hiding till now.

"After seeing the losses we suffered, I came to the conclusion that the days where we fought head on, were finally coming to an end. I knew the other villages hate Konoha since the beginning, and if by some case they joined forces, then we would be on the brink of extinction. So as you all know I brought every reform in our military forces...," started Minato calmly.

Everyone was listening to him closely; it seemed as if their Hokage had indeed thought about a lot of things.

"But I knew it was not enough, so as soon as I became Hokage, I started creating a secret force," said Minato seriously.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that, even the Anbu commander.

"We already have so many divisions of forces, then why did you create a secret force, and why weren't we informed?" asked Hiruzen seriously.

"The enemy knows everything about our forces, and all their tactics, just as we know theirs. So I started this force, in secret, to give our village an edge on our enemies," explained Minato calmly.

"What is so special about this force? What's its name?" asked Tsunade curiously.

"It's called "Blacklight", and they are the first as well as the last line of defense of our village," said Minato truthfully.

Everyone's eyes widened on hearing this, the Anbu were the finest soldiers of the village, and they couldn't believe what their leader was saying.

"But Hokage-sama, Anbu forces, have protected the village with their lives," argued the Anbu commander.

"Dragon, that is indeed true, but "Blacklight" has been running operations behind enemy lines, since the end of the third great ninja war. How do you think I received information about the enemy so quickly, not even Jiraiya-sensei's spy network knows about them," said Minato honestly.
