Chapter 89: Sunagakure Squadron (Edited)

"What!?"

Yahiko and Konan froze for a moment upon hearing Naito's words.

Then, Yahiko couldn't help but let out a laugh and then said with a big smile, "Well! That's right, I'm a ninja too, And a very strong one!"

Konan couldn't help but smile and looked at Naito, saying, "Speaking of which, it might be a pretty good thing if you can be a ninja, at least you can protect yourself!"

With a dejected expression, Naito looked at the two of them.

Yahiko smiled and stood up, patted Naito on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Well, with your talent, you can definitely become as strong a ninja as me in the future!"

Naito: "..."

....

....

The sky was slightly dark.

A squad of Sunagakure ninja were moving quickly in the rain.

The squad's lead team looked at the sky and then said, "It's too late, we can't move in this darkness, it's too dangerous, it's possible that Amegakure ninjas will ambush us, we need to find a place to rest tonight."

"Yes," the ninjas replied.

The Sunagakure ninja squad had about a dozen people and it looked like it should be a squad consisting of three teams.

The group looked around.

One ninja then approached and reported, "Captain, there seems to be a cave ahead of us."

"Go and check it out."

Although it was possible to make a cave with the ground Jutsus, there was certainly no need to bother doing so if there was a natural cave nearby.

...

In the distance, in the middle of the cave, Konan and Yahiko had lit a fire, and Naito was sitting next to them, thinking about something.

"It's not easy to find dry wood in this place, this wood was collected and dried for a long time," Yahiko scratched his head and smiled.

The Rain Country's environment naturally made it much more problematic to find firewood to make fire.

Naito was watching the fire rise slightly as he thought about Nagato, the Rinnegan and Madara.

Hearing this, Naito came to himself and said with a slight frown, "Normally it's best not to build a fire at night."

If one lived in a small town, of course, it would be fine, but living in a cave in the middle of this wilderness, lighting a fire was not a good thing in Naito's opinion.

Yahiko, who was not a ninja, but was very perceptive, also came to his senses in an instant and said, "That's right, let's hurry and prepare the food and then put out the fire."

"Yes," Konan nodded, then stood up and said, "I'll get some water."

With that said, Konan headed for the exit.

And just as he reached the entrance of the cave, his whole body froze on the spot.

"Konan, what's wrong?", Yahiko showed a strange expression, then, she couldn't help but get up and walk towards the cave entrance as well.

Then, her expression also froze instantly, and cold sweat broke out from her forehead.

Seeing this scene, Naito, who had been sitting silently, suddenly shook his head and sighed softly, then stood up and slowly walked towards them.

Outside the cave, a squad of ninja stood, and no one rushed into the cave.

It was clear that they saw Yahiko and Konan in the cave.

"Captain, it seems there are two wandering orphans inside the cave... no, three," A ninja examined Konan and Yahiko, and as he reported he saw another near figure emerge behind Konan.

Yahiko's mind filled with fear.

As he himself had said, one must not mess with ninja or else he would be killed outright.

With his mind working at full speed, Yahiko gritted his teeth and boldly stepped out of the cave towards the squad of Sunagakure ninja.

"Yahiko!", Konan looked at this scene and couldn't help but shout his name and follow him.

Naito, for his part, shook his head slightly and examined the group of Sunagakure ninja.

Most of them were Genins, there were a few Chuunins and the leader seemed to be an Elite Chuunin, however, no Jounin were visible.

Yahiko took a deep breath, then looked at the Sunagakure ninjas and said, "If you want something, we'll give you everything, even if you want the cave, we'll give it to you, you just have to let us go."

Yahiko knew better than to fantasize about seizing her belongings in front of these ninja, so she quickly just spoke in a low, pleading tone.

The ninja did not respond to Yahiko's words, they just looked at each other.

One ninja asked the squad leader, "Captain, there shouldn't be any ambush in the cave, what do we do? let these three brats go?"

"No," The leader's Captain's gaze was slightly cold as he said, "We can't let our position be revealed, it's better to make a mistake than to let them go."

"Yes!", the ninja replied, then everyone stared.

It's true that not all ninja are cold-blooded killers, but when it comes to fulfilling their duties, they force themselves to be.

Hearing his words, Yahiko's face turned pale and she instantly began to regret her actions.

She should have known better than to light that fire at night!

She was just showing off in front of Naito how many supplies she had, if she didn't do that, these ninjas wouldn't discover this place....

Konan, on the other hand, was too scared, so much so that her face turned pale, and her blue hair was messed up by the rain, but she wasn't aware of that, as she was too scared.

She even felt a vague sense of despair.

It was impossible to resist or escape in front of the ninjas.

And in her desperation, she couldn't help but look at Naito beside her, and in her kind heart she couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of regret.

If she hadn't dragged Naito with them, he would still be in that village, and not in the desperate situation he was in now.

A ninja in front of them began making hand signals.

"Fire Jutsu: Great Ball of Fire (Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu))

Boom!!!

In an instant, a Great Fireball surged and rushed towards Yahiko and Konan.

Although in the Rain Country's environment, Fire Jutsu were weakened, but it was still not something that normal children like Konan and Yahiko could withstand.

Even if they dodged the Great Fireball, there were still the Sunagakure ninja.

Yahiko's face was full of despair as he muttered, "It's over, we're dead!"

On the other hand, Konan, who was also in despair, wanted to apologize to Naito before she died, but she couldn't even move.

At that moment, Naito, who was silent for a long time, finally moved, passing by the two, then stood in front of them.

His expression was incomparably calm.

Then, Naito performed a very simple action, which was to clench his fist and strike in front of him.

Suddenly he struck the space in front of him.

Boom!!!

And what happened was shocking, the ground in front of him started to shake and break.

The scene was extremely terrifying!

As for the Fire Jutsu, it was destroyed as if by a single blow, as if a small flame had been extinguished by a slap.

Even the rain stopped falling at that moment.

Everything in front of the fist seemed to be destroyed by this blow!
