Chapter 75: Heading for the Land of Rain (Edited)

After Naito waited for some time, a few Anbus finally appeared in front of Naito.

These Anbus were official members.

Of course, Naito was now an official member as well.

"This is a direct order from Hokage-sama, Naito, you will join Team Eight under the code name 'Yujin'"

One of the Anbu who seemed to be the Captain of the squad put a document in front of Naito, which had information about his identity and number, it also had some instructions about assigning him in the Eighth Team of the Anbu department.

After taking a look at the document, Naito nodded and said, "So you are all members of the Eighth Squadron, right?"

"Yes, and I am the Captain of Team Eight, Kudo Horitsu, I use Fire Jutsus and a Kenjutsu user, my code name is Kasai" (Kasai: Fire), The Anbu who handed the document to Naito, after nodding, introduced himself, then took off his mask so Naito could see his face, and then put it back on.

Since they were on the same team, they needed to get to know each other before they could cooperate.

The other two Anbus likewise removed their masks, allowing Naito to see their faces, before putting them back on their faces.

"My name is Asano Senna, I specialize in puppet control, I am also related to the use of poison, my codename is 'Ghost'," Asano Senna was wearing something wrapped with bandages on her back, it appeared to be her puppet.

And probably just one of them.

"I am a member of the Yamanaka Clan, my name is Yamanaka Oyuki, I specialize in mind related Jutsus, I can stop or even control the enemy's movements. However, there are some situations that require the cooperation of my teammates, my code name is 'Yoru'." (T/N: Yoru: Night)

Hearing this self-introduction, Naito, who looked very calm, suddenly showed a strange expression.

Yamanaka Oyuki felt that Naito was looking at him strangely, so she asked, "Is there a problem?"

Naito shook his head and said, "No."

But Naito in his mind was thinking: isn't Ino's father one of the Yamanaka Clan too? But this isn't her father, maybe it's her uncle or something?

The only reason they were introduced was because they were teaming up and needed to build a mutual understanding with each other in order to cooperate.

What made Naito feel strange was that the Yamanaka Clan member in front of him was not teaming up with the Nara Clan and Akimichi Clan.

"Well, since the situation is very urgent, there is no time to train our cooperation, we have an urgent mission to do," Horitsu said that with a calm tone, "The mission will take place in the Rain Country, it is an espionage mission, we must spy on both Iwagakure and Amegakure, we must strike hard if there is a possibility of assassination, this is an urgent mission and we must start now!"

"So urgent!?"

Not only Naito was surprised, even Yamanaka Oyuki and Asano Senna looked very surprised.

Horitsu nodded and said, "The situation is very serious, we have suffered many casualties, we need to reorganize our lines and immediately return to the battlefield"

"By the way, Naito is a newcomer, although he is very talented and had great results in the substitute training, this is a real battlefield, and you two will have to take care of him"

"Yes" Both Yamanaka Oyuki and Asano Senna nodded.

Naito, for his part, had a helpless expression and, without saying anything, followed Horitsu out of the Anbu department.

Even Naito did not expect things to happen so suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, he had to go to the Rain Country.

This time, despite the urgency of the matter, Naito did not forget to say goodbye to Kushina.

Horitsu and the others also had things to deal with, so after leaving the Anbu department, they split up and decided to meet at the entrance of the village.

Naito took off his mask and cloak and then quickly found Kushina and told her that he was going to leave the village to go on a mission.

During these four months, Kushina would come to Naito when she had nothing to do, and did not interfere with Naito's training, but quietly watched from a distance, so she knew that Naito's power, now, was very, very strong.

Still, she couldn't help but be worried about him, but she also couldn't stop Naito from carrying out his mission just for her.

So, in the end, she could only look at Naito with immense seriousness, then she walked up to him, hugged him and whispered, "Make sure you get back safely."

"Yes, don't worry," Naito nodded softly, then smiled at her, and suddenly, he leaned towards her and kissed her on the forehead, after that, he turned around and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Kushina let out a gasp of surprise, her cheeks flushed slightly with a pretty blush, then pursed her lips, looking at the direction Naito disappeared in.

After saying goodbye to Kushina, Naito took out the mask and cloak again.

It was a rule that an Anbu's identity could not be casually revealed, though Kushina's identity was actually more special than that of an Anbu.

She stopped in a corner and put on the mask and cloak, then walked all the way to the entrance of the village.

With the cloak and mask on, no one tried to stop Naito, well, even if they wanted to stop him, they couldn't, since, with his speed, even a Jounin couldn't catch up to him.

When he reached the entrance of the village, he met Horitsu and the others again.

Horitsu asked Naito, "Did you finish all your preparations?"

Naito nodded, "Yes."

Horitsu looked at everyone and said, "Well then, you must not let anything affect your mind during the mission, stay alert at all times, let's go!"

....

Hokage's office.

Hiruzen was looking through his crystal ball at Naito and the Anbu leaving the village.

"Well, I left it in Horitsu's hands, he will take good care of Naito, as long as there are no accidents, there shouldn't be any problems," With a soft sigh, Hiruzen unconsciously tried to find someone to talk to, but was silenced when he thought about the fact that Sakumo was, at this moment, in the Rain Country.

He was the Hokage and could not leave easily.

The highest ranking commander in the Rain Country was Sakumo.

At this very moment, Danzo was also not in Konoha, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, even Tsunade were heading to the Rain Country.

That was the center of the Second Ninja World War.

"I hope you can survive in this war, after all, with your talent, I'm sure you can grow by leaps and bounds, and it won't be long before you reach the level of a Jounin," Muttering to himself, Hiruzen looked off into the distance with confidence.

...

In the Land of Fire.

The team Naito was in was advancing at full speed.

Along the way, Horitsu communicated with Yamanaka Oyuki and Asano, and of course Naito was among them, though most of the time Horitsu didn't question Naito, who merely listened.

Although Naito had an extremely impressive performance in the Anbu candidate training, this was now a battlefield, this is the reality.

Geniuses who did not experience true blood and fire are not considered true elites.

From Horitsu's point of view, Naito would only be a burden in the first few missions.

Horitsu also received special instructions from Hiruzen, asking him to give him more guidance and to take care of Naito and, if necessary, he should protect him when needed.
