Chapter 96: The Emergency Call (Edited)

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Naito had thoroughly trained the first stage of Lightning Element Chakra Mode to completion, and if he wanted to go further, he had to achieve the second stage of Lightning Element Chakra Mode.

After mastering the first stage, there would be no obvious lightning emerging from Naito's body, at most, there would only be some subtle arcs of lightning that could not be seen unless one looked closely.

Naito estimated that only when he had completed the second stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode would it be possible for armor to appear on his body, like that of the Fourth and Third Raikage after they trained all the stages of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode.

When the first stage came to an end, Naito's skin and some of his flesh and blood became stronger, and his body gradually changed from youthful to mature, and his complexion took on a tan color.

Naito was only ten years old, but physically he looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

It was not only because ninjas in the ninja world matured quickly, but also because of Naito's physical training.

The growth of his body had also increased Naito's progress in the Reverse Hachimon Tonko training.

Originally, if Naito wanted to reach the standard for opening the Fourth Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Reverse, he would have to train for at least almost a year without interruption.

And having arrived on the battlefield of the Second Ninja World War, there simply wasn't much time to train!

As it was, Naito had very little time to teach Konan and Yahiko how to train, and equally little time to train himself, and he still had to hunt down ninjas and scouts from other ninja villages.

Arguably, if this continued, he would need to train for at least three to five years to open the Fourth Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Hachimon.

But practicing the first stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode helped reduce the amount of time.

It had been several months since Naito arrived in the Land of Rain, and training the Lightning Element Chakra Mode had allowed Naito to improve his physical body non-stop during those few months.

Naito calculated that, if he managed to obtain the second stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode, he would only need to train half as much to reach the standard for opening the Fourth Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Hachimon.

However, this, like the Kusanagi Swords, was something difficult to achieve in a short period of time.

After shaking his head, Naito felt that regardless of whether the remaining Kusanagi Swords were in Sunagakure, he would have to wait for them to appear on the battlefield, and, anyway, as soon as the Kusanagi Swords came within a certain range around him, he would feel it.

If he could not find it on the battlefield, then Naito would make a trip to Sunagakure during or after the war.

In addition to that, Naito would also definitely make a trip to Kumogakure. Since the Lightning Element Chakra Mode decreases the training time to open the Fourth Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Reverse, Naito felt it was imperative to obtain the second and, if possible, the third stage.

"Phew!"

Exhaling a sigh, Naito stood up, as the electric arcs in his body instantly disappeared.

Then, Naito left the room and went to check the progress of Konan and Yahiko's training.

Since Konan and Yahiko were about the same age as him, the results of their training were much better than those kids at the Ninja Academy.

In this world, the younger you are, the better the training results, because chakra is created by combining a person's physical and spiritual energy, although you have to reach a certain age before you start training.

Konan and Yahiko were still in the middle of their optimal training age.

So their current chakra volume is almost close to that of a Genin, Konan's Paper Jutsu has finally been developed.

With learning the Jutsu, they were basically considered to have the strength of a Genin, and it was already difficult for civilians to threaten them.

Naito nodded noncommittally, unable to tell whether he was satisfied or not.

At the same time, what made Naito feel somewhat helpless was that all this time he had been trying to find Nagato, but couldn't find him.

Nagato seemed to have disappeared completely!

This left Naito very puzzled.

As usual, Naito went out once again to a nearby town.

The Rain Country was not very big and there were not many villages, so in almost every village there would be a Konoha ninja scout.

It is worth mentioning that when the news of Naito's killing of Kinjin reached Konoha, Hiruzen kept silent for a long time and finally asked Naito if he needed anything.

What Naito needed was, of course, the second stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode, but there was never any answer from Hiruzen, so he assumed that Konoha really didn't have it.

After taking a quick look around the village, Naito casually eliminated a few Amegakure ninja, in addition to eliminating an Iwagakure scout he had encountered.

After that, Naito went in search of the ninja in charge of delivering information to Konoha.

Passing information on the battlefield required special methods, and passing information from a special Anbu like Naito required even more special methods.

The ancient method of scroll delivery was used.

The scrolls had to be opened in a special way, otherwise they would be naturally destroyed, spoiling their contents.

This method was absolutely confidential.

It had been a long time since Naito had received orders from Konoha, most of the time it was he who sent information.

This time, however, he received information from Konoha.

After arriving at a secluded spot and breaking the special seal on the scroll, Naito took a casual glance at the contents.

But it was this casual glance that caused Naito to freeze abruptly, and a fierce aura emanated from his entire body.

It was almost a direct revelation that Naito was a ninja, but Naito didn't care in the slightest.

He couldn't control himself, nearly destroying the scroll in his hand.

The information on the scroll was: Tsunade and her team were ambushed by Iwagakure ninjas, she was forced to enter the center of the Rain Country, the situation is critical and Naito must go to rescue her as soon as possible.

Tsunade's strength was, at the very least, that of an Elite Jounin, or even a Quasi-Kage.

However, the word they used here is not "Support", but "Rescue"!

There's a big difference between these two words!

This shows that Tsunade is really in danger, otherwise, they wouldn't use that word.

After taking a deep breath, Naito destroyed the scroll and then left the place immediately.

Tsunade was in danger, and there was no way Naito was going to stand by and do nothing. The future had changed too much for Naito, and Naito could not predict whether or not Tsunade would die if he did not go to help.

So he had to leave.

The scroll gave a general direction, and the direction passed right by where Naito, Konan and Yahiko lived.

Therefore, Naito decided to talk to them first.

If the address was in the opposite direction, Naito would waste no time in informing them, and would go directly to the place.

Naito used all his speed and returned to the place where he lived quickly.

Konan and Yahiko were still training.

Naito, for his part, merely informed them that he was going to be absent for a while, and while he was away, he told them to take care of hiding, preferably by going to live directly to a nearby village.

They should be safe there.
