Chapter 121: Orochimaru! (Edited)

Looking at the detailed information about the battlefield, Onoki's eyebrows furrowed as he felt the familiarity of the traces of that battlefield, "It's the same as the last battlefield, the whole battlefield ended up destroyed, so, if I'm right, it was probably done by the same person."

"Damn, who the hell is this guy and why isn't there any information about him? Even if it's top secret information from Konoha, there should be at least one person who knows him," Unable to resist cursing angrily, Onoki slammed the intelligence document on the table.

After a moment, Onoki took a deep breath and slowly calmed down, then his eyes finally flashed with a glint of coldness, "These small battles won't help us anymore, in that case, we can only start a real face-to-face battle."

Once a face-to-face battle broke out, then almost all the ninja would have to return to their camps, even the Anbus.

During all this time after the start of the Second Ninja World War, the Three Great Ninja Villages, Konoha, Iwagakure and Sunagakure restricted and delayed the start of this battle by launching sneak attacks on each other in the Rain Country, after all, no one dared to be the one to start the war.

But, so far, Konoha had the upper hand in the local war, and Onoki has received news that even Sunagakure has suffered losses at the hands of Konoha.

If this continues, they will suffer even more, so in this case, the only choice they have is to start the final and decisive battle.

.....

In the Land of Rain, Konoha's camp.

After dealing with Iwagakure's surprise attack squad, Jiraiya proudly returned to the camp.

But because he was too proud, he didn't look at the ground as he entered and stumbled.

Because Jiraiya was an Elite Jounin, with a push of his foot, he did a somersault in the air and finally landed in front of Sakumo.

Sakumo: "..."

"Cough!!!", Jiraiya coughed several times and then reported the results of the mission, "Sakumo, this is the summary of what happened on the battlefield against Iwagakure's surprise attack squad."

"Yes," Sakumo nodded and then smiled as if he had predicted it.

Seeing Sakumo's expression, Jiraiya was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "That Anbu, he's really strong, who exactly is he?"

"Sorry, that information is top secret at the moment," Sakumo smiled at Jiraiya, actually it would be fine, even if he told Jiraiya, but still the rules had to be followed.

As for Tsunade being able to know, it was because the matter of Tsunade had been discussed many times between him and Hiruzen, Tsunade was equivalent to a link between Naito and Konoha.

"Top secret!?", Jiraiya's eyes immediately widened, the identity of an ordinary Anbu could never afford the word top secret, then there was no doubt that Naito's identity was extremely high even within the Anbu department.

This made Jiraiya more and more interested about Naito's identity, as he knew basically all the high ranking and powerful people in the village, but none seemed to fit Naito.

Orochimaru? Tsunade?

Obviously, none of them were.

"Well, don't think too much about that, there are more important things to happen, the real battle is about to begin. By then, you should be able to figure out who it is," Sakumo said that very seriously.

As soon as he heard these words, Jiraiya's expression changed.

A truly decisive battle, it's obvious that Konoha will gather all their forces!

Moreover, it is estimated that the upcoming battle will decide the course of the Second Ninja World War!

Jiraiya's expression became solemn.

Not only Jiraiya's expression became solemn, in Konoha, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, also had a solemn expression.

If he didn't know that at the moment neither the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure were still in their villages, he might have left for the Rain Country.

"The war is coming," With a soft sigh, Hiruzen walked over to the window and looked off into the distance, "Naito's power will be very important in this war."

"But... Can he really be trusted?" suddenly, Danzo interrupted Hiruzen's thoughts and walked into his office, "Naito, after all, he is an outsider, Hiruzen, you can use him, but you must never give him power."

Danzo looked very serious as he looked at Hiruzen.

Hiruzen didn't speak again, he just looked outside from his window, not knowing what to do.

...

Right now.

Naito wasn't in the Konoha camp, but was going deeper into the interior of the Rain Country.

Although Naito did not care about the general situation of the battlefield, he could easily sense that a decisive battle was approaching.

And before the final battle, Naito decided to deal with Konan and Yahiko first.

Most importantly, Naito wanted to see if Konan and Yahiko, at that time, had already met with Nagato.

Naito continued to travel at full speed.

Soon, Naito returned to the last place where Konan and Yahiko were training Ninjutsu, but it was empty.

After shaking his head, Naito went to the nearest village.

However, after searching the entire village, he could not find any trace of these two, nor did he even get any information about them from the ninjas in the village.

It was as if the two had magically disappeared.

"Weird... No wonder he didn't find Nagato, but now even Konan and Yahiko!", Naito frowned with a hint of confusion.

At the same time, Naito went to other nearby villages, hunting down some scouts from other ninja villages, at the same time he also gathered information.

However, there was no trace of Konan and Yahiko.

He was sure that they were definitely not dead, as they were not normal people now, but ninjas.

If they had been killed, they would have made a lot of noise, and it was unlikely that they would disappear quietly, as they did now.

Most likely, they were now staying somewhere far away from here.

"In this case, there is nothing else to do, they should be fine, even if the decisive battle is approaching, they should not be harmed," After taking a deep breath, Naito shook his head and finally stopped searching.

However, when he was about to return to the camp, he was surprised to meet someone.

Orochimaru!

He found him in a small village, Orochimaru had a mission and was about to return to camp.

Sure enough, Orochimaru was using the Transformation Jutsu.

Naito almost couldn't recognize it, his Transformation Jutsu was perfect, it wasn't an ordinary one, it looked like it was a more advanced technique.
