nThe rain didn’t stop because of the war.

nThe thick dark clouds in the sky made the pressure tenser as it was covering the entire sky.

nNaito was waved his sword without stopping.

nThe energic sword shocks were flying toward the three Shinobis of the Rocks continuously without letting them take a break.

nAt this moment, they couldn’t bear it anymore.

nIt was like a water tank, as long as you manage to make a hole in it, the tank will dry out of the water.

nNaito held tight his sword and rushed toward the enemies then sent a big blow.

nFor a moment, the rain froze in the air, and the ground trembled like it was hit by a thunder.

nThe Shinobis of the Rocks couldn’t react immediately, with a trace of desperation they looked at Naito.

n“Monster…”

nBoom!!

nthe flying energic shock kept moving toward them until it hit them hard.

nUnder the power of Naito’s attack, the Shinbois of the Rocks got defeated and crashed on the ground.

nTheir bodies fell on the ground.

nAt this point, their plane on ambushing Naito and his team got destroyed!!

nVery stunning scene.

nEven 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.

nBut this made the scene more shocking.

nNaito 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.

nHowever, Naito’s body didn’t have even a drop of blood on it.

nAs if he was Death himself.

nIn the distance, Asano and Yamanaka who were watching this battle couldn’t even move for the entire time.

nAll they had on their faces was disbelieving.

n“D-…Dead? All of them is Dead?”

n“Naito was actually strong enough to this extent, am afraid that the Captain was… no, even the Captain wouldn’t know this!”

nHe said that the power of Naito will grow more as he performs missions with them, but still, this power is just unbelievable.

nNow, no one can understate Naito’s power!

nHe’s just a killing machine that was born to be in a war!

nSlowly 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.

nAt that moment, Asano and Yamanaka finally moved and came by the side of Naito letting go of all the feelings they had.

n“This is a war, death is unavoidable if it wasn’t him it would have been one of us.”

nHe couldn’t see Naito’s face under the mask, but he said that comfort him.

nAfterward, Naito turned and never looked back and said: “Clean up the battlefield and let’s go.”

n“Yes.”

nAsano and Yamanaka responded to Naito’s orders and start to clean up the battlefield.

nThey couldn’t help it, but their attitude naturally changed to subordinates.

nAfter Cleaning their traces, and sealing the heads of the enemies, Yamanaka and Asano quietly followed Naito and left the place.

nOnce 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.

nThey owe him their lives.

n……

nRain Village.

nThe establishment of the camps can only be built on high grounds.

nKonoha’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.

nIt was more like a small village.

nThe general commander of Konoha’s army room was in the center of the camp.

nSakumo was standing there quietly looking at his table, analyzing the situation of the battlefield.

nSecretly, he was also the Anbu Captain.

n

n

nHe was more important then Orochimaru or any other Jonin, he was the frontline commander of this war.

nAt this time a Ninja rushed into his room.

nThe blood was all over him.

nSakumo 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.

n“Sakumo-san, we’ve discovered that an enemy troop from the Rocks has gone deep into our defenses.”

n“How could this happen?”

nSakumo revealed a trace of shock.

nAn assassination force sneaked into our camp, so the target must be an important figure of Konoha or even one of our armies.

nOnce the ambush is successful, the consequences will be so serious.

nIf an elite such as Orochimaru, or Jiraiya got killed, it will have a big influence on the direction of the war itself.

n“Did you manage to determine the approximate location?”

n“It’s roughly northwest, but I couldn’t determine the specific location.”

n“Okay, understood, you can go and rest for a while.”

nSakumo nodded and waved his wave in a way that indicated the medical troops to came immediately and help this injured Ninja.

nAt the same he immediately summoned several of Shinobis, to start an urgent gathering.

nAn ambush has been discovered.

nAn 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.

nSuddenly, someone broke into the room.

nTo dare to broke in the room in this serious situation, he shouldn’t be an average person.

nIt 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.

nThe frontlines were led by Sarutobi and Sakumo.

n“Hatake Sakumo, you can’t leave.”

nDanzo refuted Sakumo’s decision.

nSakumo 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.”

nDanzo 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?”

n“Of course no.”

nSakumo calmly looked at Danzo, who really had a point.

n“I can destroy them all without leaving any traces.”

nDanzo 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.
