Chapter 116: Iwagakure Special Troop's Surprise Attack! (Edited)

Back in his tent, Naito took a short break.

Since he took Konan and Yahiko as disciples, Naito became more concerned about them.

Meanwhile, Naito was also thinking about some things that will happen after the Second Ninja World War.

For example, Nagato, White Zetsu, Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara.

Although these people did not directly affect the Second Ninja World War, they are certainly not unimportant.

On the contrary, they are very important, they are even more important than the Second Ninja World War itself.

However, so far, there is no trace of Nagato's existence, and Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu should be in hiding, observing the Second Ninja World War.

Naito felt pressure the moment he thought of Madara.

Although Naito was strong enough to fight head-on against a low Kage level ninja, he still doesn't have the strength to kill them.

However, this strength will not be enough to face Madara.

It won't be enough even against Nagato who has the Rinnegan and can only use part of his power.

After all, that was the Rinnegan, a power belonging to the Sage of the Six Paths himself!

Naito muttered, "Really, there's no time to rest and relax at all..."

Every time he thought of Uchiha Madara and how he watched the world from the darkness looking for an opportunity to begin his plans, and Black Zetsu and his plans to resurrect Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Naito felt a strong pressure.

And that pressure made Naito not dare to become lazy at all, using every moment he had to continue his training and slowly becoming strong.

In order not to be controlled, Naito has to become stronger than Madara, AND even stronger than Kaguya Ōtsutsuki!

After resting for half a day, Naito wasn't willing to waste any more time, even if it was a few minutes, so he was about to start training.

But just as Naito was about to start his training, he received an urgent summons from Sakumo, "Naito, come to the command tent quickly!"

Urgent summons were a rare thing and, of course, it was usually the Anbus who were summoned.

After all, the Anbus themselves were an elite unit known for their discipline and speed.

Donning his cloak and mask, Naito stepped out of his room.

...

Right now, in the central tent of the Konoha camp.

Sakumo is sitting there, and there was another person wandering around, looking very worried.

In the central tent, there were only the two of them.

Looking at the information on the papers on the table, Sakumo spoke in a deep voice, "The Tsuchikage has made a move, this is really bad."

The man said, "Yes, and it will be very difficult to handle the situation."

The man wandering around looked very worried, he had long silver hair and was none other than Jiraiya, one of the future three Sannins.

Just at that moment, Naito, who was wearing his Anbu uniform, walked in.

Jiraiya looked at Naito slightly surprised, vaguely feeling a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember who it was.

After glancing at Jiraiya. Naito ignored him and instead approached Sakumo and asked directly, "What's wrong?"

"Iwagakure has sent a surprise attack troop to continuously harass and our supply lines in the rear," With a slightly solemn look, Sakumo replied to Naito, "This started almost half a month ago, Iwagakure ninjas started targeting our supplies."

Jiraiya couldn't think about who Naito was, so he put aside the question of Naito's identity for now and spoke in a deep voice with a slight hint of anger on his face, "A few moments ago, Minato was also attacked, and if it weren't for the fact that Minato is a genius and his strength is almost close to that of a Chuunin, there is no way he could have escaped"

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Naito was surprised.

So when he was resting, Minato was attacked not far from the Konoha camp?

How unlucky!

Besides, it must be said that those Iwagakure ninja are really brave, did they really dare to attack the supply line when Konoha's camp was only half a day away?

Frowning, Naito looked at Sakumo with slight confusion and said, "A sneak attack at such close range, and that lasted half a month, how come they haven't been wiped out by now?"

Sakumo shook his head and said with a slightly ugly expression, "Iwagakure sent a very special squadron for this mission, they are moving underground!"

"Underground?", Naito revealed a surprised expression.

Sakumo nodded and then continued, "Yes, they are a special squad of Earth Jutsu users, they are using special equipment, which allows them to move underground and launch a sneak attack whenever they wish."

"Besides, because they are very good at Ground Jutsus, even if our ninja arrive in time, they won't be able to do anything to stop them, and once they use Ground Jutsus to hide underground, there's not much they can do."

Hearing this, Jiraiya to the side also said in a deep voice, "That's right, this surprise attack squad from Iwagakure has been constantly harassing and sneaking up on us for half a month now, I've fought them many times, but once they all go underground, there's nothing you can do about them."

There was a tinge of annoyance in Jiraiya's tone, clearly already annoyed by the previous half month, and this time the sneak attack on Minato, his future student, was getting on his nerves, "Although we have a slight advantage once they perform the sneak attack, they are all proficient in Ground Jutsus, and when they join forces, they are simply difficult to fight."

"Also, there's the most important point, because it's hard to keep track of them, there's no way of knowing where they'll come from next, so, to deal with them, you need ninjas who are especially fast to be able to lend support quickly," Jiraiya paused again at this point and gave Naito a somewhat strange look.

Naito was wearing a mask, so of course he didn't know Naito's identity, but since Sakumo had summoned Naito here, there had to be a reason for it.

Noticing that strange expression on Jiraiya's face, Sakumo nodded and said, "Well, Yujin is very fast, you should let him join you on this mission."

Hearing this, Jiraiya immediately nodded, showing an expression of praise and said, "Oh? so you're fast!?"

Saying this, Jiraiya looked at Naito and said, "Can you use any Ground Jutsu?"

Naito was quiet as he said, "Sorry, I don't know any Earth Jutsu."

Jiraiya stumbled the moment he heard Naito's words and almost fell down, "Oi oi! Sakumo, are you kidding!?"

Looking at Naito with a face full of disbelief, Jiraiya then turned his head to look at Sakumo and said, "That's no good! If you don't know the Ground Jutsus, even if you're fast, you won't be able to do anything to those guys!"
