Time passed quickly, and it had been months since Aoki began training the women in the Valley of Hell. During this time, significant changes occurred among the women trained by Aoki. Those who were once merely directionless Genin-level ninjas began to show potential as formidable warriors.
Aoki trained them in various weapon fighting techniques, ranging from the use of swords, spears, to daggers. Each training session was designed to build strength, speed, and precision. The intensive training made them not only more technically skilled but also more confident.
Not only that, Aoki also taught the Basic Breathing Technique to the leaders of the subgroups, known as Hashira.
This technique allowed them to control their breathing better, enabling them to manage their stamina and maximize their performance during battles. Mastery of breathing became an essential foundation for facing long and exhausting fights.
In between training sessions, Aoki often left the Valley of Hell to go to the Dark Market. Aoki's goal was not only to gather information about the situation of the Third Shinobi World War but also to collect data on the rebel ninjas who had fled from their villages.
Aoki had a clever and well-planned strategy. These rebel ninjas would become training targets for the women trained by Aoki.
By facing real opponents, they would gain valuable fighting experience. On the other hand, Aoki could utilize the bounty rewards from these rebel ninjas to fund his group.
This was a "win-win" strategy that allowed the women to acquire skills while Aoki gained financial benefits without having to be directly involved in the hunts.
To implement this plan, Aoki worked hard to compile a target list from the latest Bounty Hunter book. Each name on the list was carefully selected, ensuring that the targets had a difficulty level appropriate for the capabilities of the designated group. Once the list was complete, Aoki began to strategize.
Aoki decided to send out small groups consisting of the most skilled women. Each group was led by a Hashira, who was responsible for ensuring the mission ran smoothly.
The Kisatsutai, the name of the mercenary army formed by Aoki, was now divided into eighteen subgroups. Each group consisted of thirteen members, with a Hashira as their leader.
However, for the time being, only five groups were allowed to commence missions. Aoki intentionally limited the missions so that the women could focus and not be burdened by overly heavy tasks. Each group was only permitted to face one target at a time.

Time continued to pass, and now the Third Shinobi World War had officially begun. News of this major conflict quickly spread throughout the ninja world, and of course, Aoki learned of the developments through his information network.
In recent months, Aoki had focused his time on training the women under his guidance. Additionally, Aoki also sent them to work as Bounty Hunters, which became part of the grand plan for the mercenary group he formed, Kisatsutai.
Initially, the Dark Market aggressively sought out Kurisu and her group. However, after months without results, they eventually gave up. This situation gave Aoki more room to develop his group. Now, the women Aoki trained could carry out missions as Bounty Hunters without drawing excessive attention.
The name Kisatsutai gradually became well-known. Many recognized this group as a large force composed entirely of women. However, what the public did not know was the fact that the true leader of Kisatsutai was a man—Aoki.
Aoki himself did not care much whether he was known as the leader of Kisatsutai or not.
