Chapter 77: Naito's attack (Edited)

The whole process happened in a matter of moments, and even Naito barely had time to react when Horitsu, the Captain who had been taking care of him at all times for over a month, died in front of him!

Although Horitsu seemed to treat Naito as a burden, he was actually just protecting him.

This was... the cruelty of war.

In the next second, anyone could die, even a Jounin like Horitsu couldn't control his own fate in a war!

Naito took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but a cold glint shone in his eyes.

Whoosh, whoosh!!!!

The next moment, a dozen ninjas appeared around him.

They all wore Iwagakure uniforms.

To the naked eye, none of them were below the level of Elite Chuunin, and there were even several Jounins among them!

They surrounded Naito and the others in the center and did not attack directly, but one of the more prominent Jounins showed a hint of disappointment and said, "Man, I thought we caught a big fish, but it looks like it was just a few Anbus from Konoha!"

Another Jounin gave Naito and the others a cold look before he shook his head, his expression not wavering in the slightest, and said, "Hurry up and kill them and then retreat, Konoha should be able to sense movements around here."

The two of them, Yamanaka Oyuki and Asano Senna, had wanted to drag Naito with them to retreat after Horitsu's death.

But seeing that the number of enemies was large, surprisingly large, the two could not help but show a hint of desperation.

Obviously, the target of these Iwagakure ninja was not them at all.

Maybe they were ambushing Orochimaru or Tsunade, or maybe they were trying to ambush a higher status ninja, like Sakumo.

But as it turned out, they had fallen into the trap.

"I can't believe there are so many of them.... Damn...", Yamanaka Oyuki knew that this was a bad situation, despair completely flooded her mind and she couldn't think of any way to overcome this situation.

On the other hand, Senna knew that they had already lost the only chance to escape!

There was no way he and Yamanaka Oyuki could kill their way out of this situation, and as for Naito, even if he was a little stronger than them, it would be useless.

It was already a hopeless situation.

Although she was already controlling her puppet, Asano Senna's fingers were trembling slightly, and she was actually desperate.

The group of Jounins among the Iwagakure ninja had no intention of making a move, but directly ordered the dozen Elite Chuunins under their command to surround them, ready to directly finish off Naito and the others.

But, just at that moment.

Naito, who had not said a word from the beginning, suddenly stepped forward.

As his feet fell, the puddle of rainwater mixed with blood rippled violently under his feet, but there was no splash of water.

Taking another step forward, Naito smoothly unsheathed the sword at his back.

His murderous intent was all over the place.

Seeing Naito's action, both Yamanaka Oyuki and Asano Senna were slightly surprised.

They did not expect that Naito, who was a complete novice in this situation, would not only not be intimidated, but would actually have the idea to confront the enemy.

But, although surprised, they shook their heads with a bitter smile.

Still, what was the point?

At most, they could drag a few ninja before they died, and it was almost impossible to survive.

And the next moment, the sword, which Naito unsheathed... was swung upwards.

Buzz!!!

The moment the sword was swung upwards, a white bubble suddenly appeared and a terrifying aura immediately spread.

Immediately after, Naito directly swung his sword and threw a fierce slash forward.

The white bubble was thrown directly by Naito, unexpectedly flying forward!

The ninjas of Iwagakure had been alerted the moment Naito had begun to move, and at that moment, seeing Naito's attack, they all retreated in unison.

However, Naito's attack had a very long range, AND it couldn't be easily avoided!

Crack!!!

The next moment, the shockwave exploded directly in front of them.

The rain falling from the sky seemed to freeze at that moment, and all the raindrops were instantly suspended in the air, As if they had been frozen!

Space began to crack and shake, everything looked like it was going to turn upside down.

Suddenly, white cracks spread out in all directions!

All the Iwagakure ninja near the cracks immediately recoiled, and the closest one was hit by the shockwave, his body began to shatter with a horrible sound as he shattered into a puddle of flesh and bone.

Even some of the Iwagakure ninja, who managed to retreat, immediately paled, as they felt a strange force enter their bodies.

In an instant, they all vomited blood!

With one swing of his sword, Naito was able to wound almost the entire troop of Iwagakure ninja and made them all vomit blood!

Seeing this scene, Yamanaka Oyuki and Asano Senna, who were preparing for a bloody fight and dragging a few ninja with them to hell, showed expressions of incomparable surprise.

How could Naito... be so strong?

The enemies were all Chuunins, and every one of them was an Elite Chuunin by the looks of it.

The fact that Naito could hurt almost all of them was too unbelievable!

Even the Jounins of Iwagakure, astonished, looked at Naito.

They looked at Naito as if they wanted to see the face under his mask.

As for the injured Chuunin, they all recoiled in shock, then looked at him with horrified expressions.

They could not understand what kind of power Naito had used.

He didn't use any hand seals and, with just a single swing of the sword, he attacked with such terrifying power, It was too unbelievable!

However, they were all elites, even though they were injured and vomited blood, they all reacted immediately.

No one dared to reveal any careless moves.

"Water Jutsu: Water Explosion Wave Collision!" (Suiton: Bakusui Shōha).

"Water Jutsu: Water Explosion Wave Collision!" (Suiton: Bakusui Shōha).

In the blink of an eye, all the Elite Chuunins of Iwagakure made the same hand seals and then cast the same Jutsu.

In an instant, all the Jutsu connected and formed a huge wave of water, it was so big that it could block the sun, it looked like it was capable of devouring the ground!

"Water Jutsu: Great Water Explosion Wave Collision" (Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shōha).

It may not be comparable to the same Jutsu that Kisame used against Team Might Guy, but it was still terrifying.

This horrible wave grew bigger and bigger until it covered the sky above them.

Seeing this scene, both Yamanaka Oyuki and Asano were shocked, then revealed a hint of horror and couldn't help but look at Naito.

With this kind of attack, no matter how strong he is, he won't be able to stop it.
