The rain didn’t stop because of the war.
The thick dark clouds in the sky made the pressure tenser as it was covering the entire sky.
Naito was waved his sword without stopping.
The energic sword shocks were flying toward the three Shinobis of the Rocks continuously without letting them take a break.
At this moment, they couldn’t bear it anymore.
It was like a water tank, as long as you manage to make a hole in it, the tank will dry out of the water.
Naito held tight his sword and rushed toward the enemies then sent a big blow.
For a moment, the rain froze in the air, and the ground trembled like it was hit by a thunder.
The Shinobis of the Rocks couldn’t react immediately, with a trace of desperation they looked at Naito.
“Monster…”
Boom!!
the flying energic shock kept moving toward them until it hit them hard.
Under the power of Naito’s attack, the Shinbois of the Rocks got defeated and crashed on the ground.
Their bodies fell on the ground.
At this point, their plane on ambushing Naito and his team got destroyed!!
Very stunning scene.
Even though the fight was over, the rain didn’t stop falling from the sky and start washing the blood of this fierce battle from the ground.
But this made the scene more shocking.
Naito stood there quietly while all that you can see around him is the falling bodies and the blood which made it look like hell on earth.
However, Naito’s body didn’t have even a drop of blood on it.
As if he was Death himself.
In the distance, Asano and Yamanaka who were watching this battle couldn’t even move for the entire time.
All they had on their faces was disbelieving.
“D-…Dead? All of them is Dead?”
“Naito was actually strong enough to this extent, am afraid that the Captain was… no, even the Captain wouldn’t know this!”
He said that the power of Naito will grow more as he performs missions with them, but still, this power is just unbelievable.
Now, no one can understate Naito’s power!
He’s just a killing machine that was born to be in a war!
Slowly he turned, then he walked quietly passing the dead bodies of the enemies, he didn’t stop, and continued walking until he reached Horitsu’s body.
At that moment, Asano and Yamanaka finally moved and came by the side of Naito letting go of all the feelings they had.
“This is a war, death is unavoidable if it wasn’t him it would have been one of us.”
He couldn’t see Naito’s face under the mask, but he said that comfort him.
Afterward, Naito turned and never looked back and said: “Clean up the battlefield and let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Asano and Yamanaka responded to Naito’s orders and start to clean up the battlefield.
They couldn’t help it, but their attitude naturally changed to subordinates.
After Cleaning their traces, and sealing the heads of the enemies, Yamanaka and Asano quietly followed Naito and left the place.
Once again, they were looking at the back of Naito ahead of them, they couldn’t help but respect him, they wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him.
They owe him their lives.
……
Rain Village.
The establishment of the camps can only be built on high grounds.
Konoha’s camp was on a high hill, but it wasn’t a temporary one, this place was their Headquarters of operations for a long time.
It was more like a small village.
The general commander of Konoha’s army room was in the center of the camp.
Sakumo was standing there quietly looking at his table, analyzing the situation of the battlefield.
Secretly, he was also the Anbu Captain.
He was more important then Orochimaru or any other Jonin, he was the frontline commander of this war.
At this time a Ninja rushed into his room.
The blood was all over him.
Sakumo just looked at him, he didn’t need to ask questions, the scout Ninja starts immediately on giving him the information that he risked his life to deliver it.
“Sakumo-san, we’ve discovered that an enemy troop from the Rocks has gone deep into our defenses.”
“How could this happen?”
Sakumo revealed a trace of shock.
An assassination force sneaked into our camp, so the target must be an important figure of Konoha or even one of our armies.
Once the ambush is successful, the consequences will be so serious.
If an elite such as Orochimaru, or Jiraiya got killed, it will have a big influence on the direction of the war itself.
“Did you manage to determine the approximate location?”
“It’s roughly northwest, but I couldn’t determine the specific location.”
“Okay, understood, you can go and rest for a while.”
Sakumo nodded and waved his wave in a way that indicated the medical troops to came immediately and help this injured Ninja.
At the same he immediately summoned several of Shinobis, to start an urgent gathering.
An ambush has been discovered.
An assassination troop force had sneaked in, this is really a bad situation, Sakumo finally decided that he will lead them personally to make sure they don’t go any further in their territory.
Suddenly, someone broke into the room.
To dare to broke in the room in this serious situation, he shouldn’t be an average person.
It was Danzo, he’s also one of the frontline commanders, however, Danzo is always working undercover where he carried out various of assassination targets, he rarely interferes in the frontlines of the battlefield.
The frontlines were led by Sarutobi and Sakumo.
“Hatake Sakumo, you can’t leave.”
Danzo refuted Sakumo’s decision.
Sakumo responded: “We are equal here, there are no special cases, casualties include everyone, if an enemy troop is on our territory, we cannot let it go any further, we will strike with all what we have to break their progress.”
Danzo said: “We’re still in the first stage it’s a Cold War, if you go out now, the words will spread out to the enemies, do you like them to know that there’s no one left to protect Konoha?”
“Of course no.”
Sakumo calmly looked at Danzo, who really had a point.
“I can destroy them all without leaving any traces.”
Danzo said that and waited for Sakumo who kept silent for a while, finally, Sakumo nodded at him while he had an unpleasant expression on his face.
