Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 76

For more than a month, a squad from the Intelligence Department failed to detect the Rain Village ninja's tracking, leading to an attack on their outpost, the squad members being scattered, and ultimately almost all of them dying on the battlefield.

Among them, the intelligence squad 1, besides the level 3 commander, also has one jonin and two special jonin, a total of four jonin.

However, so far, only one special jonin has escaped back to the camp, allowing the camp to learn of this.

It's highly likely that his intelligence was leaked around this time.

In addition, on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, all the members of the combat department, including Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who were second-level commanders, came to the Land of Rain's position, as did Tsunade from the medical department.

The battlefield strategy was to draw the attention of the Amegakure forces through several battle lines, and after confirming that the Amegakure ninjas had almost all been transferred away from Amegakure, to send an elite team to directly infiltrate and head to Amegakure in the central area of ​​the Land of Rain to carry out the mission of assassinating Hanzo!

The squad responsible for intelligence has basically begun the evacuation process, leaving only Shirahoshi's second squad with one last area reconnaissance mission.

—The responsibilities of a level-three commander are definitely more than those of a regular intelligence squad.

Moreover, after this mission, his career as a commander will also come to an end, and he can return to the village to enjoy life: during his tenure, if he was not in office for a full month, he would be paid a base salary of one month, and for two months he would receive a base salary of two million taels of silver plus the accumulated reward after tax for each A-level mission, for a total reward of about three and a half million taels of silver.

This is roughly equivalent to the pre-tax cost of three and a half S-rank missions.

however.

It seems there's no chance to go back and enjoy life now.

In their line of sight, both the Amegakure Chunin and Jonin ahead were at their peak, and the Jonin's strength was not to be underestimated.

"Looks like it's my turn this time." Shirahoshi chuckled, tossing the scroll in her arms to Hinata Suzuka. Hinata Suzuka's eyes widened in disbelief: "Captain..."

"Having been on the battlefield for so long, I have hardly encountered any enemies."

"Speak of it."

Despite being surrounded, Shirahoshi's expression and tone still conveyed mockery:

"Your Rain Village's pursuit force isn't very good either. After more than a month, you haven't even found a trace of me."

Upon hearing this, the Chunin from Amegakure all showed expressions of anger.

The Amegakure Jonin calmly looked at the intelligence scroll in Hyuga Suzuka's hand:

"Exchange intelligence in front of us."

Do you think I'd fall for your trap?

In an instant, Hinata Suzuka understood Shirahoshi's meaning: they planned to split into two groups to send important intelligence back.

"I understand, Captain." Hinata Suzuka realized that what she had wasn't real information, but what did it matter if she sacrificed herself for her captain? "Then, I'll take my leave!"

call out--

Hinata Suzuka immediately broke away from Shirahoshi and retreated in another direction.

Bai Xing also took out a fake intelligence scroll from her pocket and put it back, a cold smile on her face.

Ahead, the middle-aged man calmly glanced in the direction Hinata Suzuka had fled, then stared intently at Shirahoshi, as if afraid she might escape:

"You three, go and bring that woman back! She's still rolling her eyes at you! Don't make a mistake."

"Yes!" x3

The three responded and prepared to take action.

At that moment, Bai Xing's hands flew into hand seals: "I never intended for you to pursue me!"

"alert!!"

The middle-aged man roared, and the Amegakure ninja immediately stopped in his tracks, looking nervously at Shirahoshi not far ahead.

The Amegakure Jonin carefully observed Shirahoshi's hand seals. He had already completed twenty seals, but there wasn't a sound from his surroundings...

In an instant, the Amegakure Jonin's fist clenched silently, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes:

"Is it fun?"

"It's not fun." Bai Xing realized her little trick had been discovered, so she put her hands in her pockets. "But it's very useful."

He used chakra to enhance the chakra fluctuations and carefully performed each hand seal, and this series of seals was incomprehensible to others.

Just ask if you are afraid of it!

"hehe."

The rain fell softly, and Yu Yin Shangren smiled coldly.

stab-

The ninja sword behind her was drawn, and a white light shone on the middle-aged man's face.

The aura of a Jonin-level ninja is spreading outwards.

The Chunin squad behind the man were frantically swallowing: Captain Qingyu was angry.

"My name is Qingyu."

You've probably heard of it, right?

Shirahoshi's pupils contracted slightly. He was the vice-captain of the Amegakure pursuit team, skilled in water-style techniques and swordsmanship. He was an elite Jonin, and the intelligence squad was wiped out by the enemy leader.

"Damn it. It was you."

"It seems I can't escape this time."

Bai Xing sighed, looking like she was resigned to her fate: Of course, it's just an act for those who might be hiding.

He checked the route from the outpost to the town in the Seventh District and then to the evacuation route, and found no trace of ninja movement along the way.

The only people who could potentially expose their route are the Nagato trio.

But clearly, no.

Based on what this Jonin from the Rain Village said, he is a Rain Village ninja...

This script looks so familiar.

Shirahoshi glanced back, thinking that Hinata Suzuka might be in danger, but he was currently facing an attack by Jonin, so he could only wish her good luck.

"Are you prepared to die?"

"The intelligence probably also comes from you, you cunning fox."

"They actually handed over the intelligence scroll right in front of us! Did they really think I'd fall for it?!" Qingyu Jonin roared.

The hidden White Zetsu: "..."

I can testify that the intelligence scroll was always on Shirahoshi's person before, but that may not be the case now.

For a moment, Bai Xing's face showed a look of shock, as if she had been exposed, but she quickly suppressed it: "Think what you want, you can go and find my companion to verify it now."

"I'll have three of your team members deal with me."

Those eyes and those words only strengthened Qingyu's confidence. "Stop pretending. If it really were her, would you Konoha ninjas say such things?"

"I thought the genin commander might be hiding some strength, but I never expected you to be such a coward!"

Seeing that Bai Xing showed no remorse whatsoever, and that she was calm and shameless, the middle-aged man became even angrier.

Although the bonds between the Rain Ninja teams are not as deep as those in Konoha, at least they won't betray their comrades in a life-or-death situation!

"you."

"It's a disgrace to the ninjas—"

Next, Jonin Qingyu formed a hand seal with one hand:

"Ninja Art: Rain Mist Technique!"

gradually.

The light mist that surrounded us and the pattering raindrops increased in that moment, and the sound of the rain gradually faded, as if they were being absorbed by the mist.

Just as the ninjutsu was fully completed, Hyuga Suzuka suddenly stopped, because no one was chasing her.

Byakugan could clearly see Shirahoshi's figure and also her previous deceptive actions.

At this moment, Hinata Suzuka confirmed that Shirahoshi's intelligence scroll was fake: it did not have the special markings of Class 2.

The one who truly brought up the rear.

It's White Star.

"team leader......"

After gritting her teeth, the girl finally decided that she could not let her captain down and ran towards the Konoha camp.

Not long after the girl left, in the middle of the forest, a white and black pitcher plant slowly emerged from a tree.

His gaze fell upon the white mist not far away.

"Is it similar to the Hidden Mist Technique of Kirigakure?"

"That genin is probably doomed this time."

"Not necessarily." Black Zetsu refuted White Zetsu's words, shaking his head, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes: "This person is definitely not a simple genin."

"Under normal command, it is impossible to easily change the station location."

"The last Konoha intelligence team was easily killed by the Amegakure ninja disguised as a White Zetsu clone."

"But Konoha's intelligence team 2 was constantly being moved around by this cautious guy, which prevented them from accurately delivering intelligence to the Rain Village."

"If they didn't have real strength, why would they risk changing positions on the battlefield?!"

"That's true, but thankfully, Konoha has made up its mind to fight Amegakure. That should make Nagato, who has awakened, much safer."

"Let us witness the end of this Ninja World War," White Zetsu said from the side.

Black Zetsu sneered: "A great war doesn't end so easily. The Iwagakure forces have completed their deployment against the Land of Grass. Once the logistics personnel and necessary supplies arrive, we don't know if Konoha will be able to handle it."

But regardless, after the battle, the Iwa ninja on the Rain Country battlefield will have to retreat, won't they?

Shirahoshi didn't notice the two commentators' appearance because their gazes weren't on him, and his sixth sense-based perception couldn't accurately detect them. However, he could sense the approximate location of the four Rain Village ninjas ahead.

At this moment, the surrounding environment was barely visible to the naked eye within the mist.

There were also the soft sounds of raindrops falling gently and tapping on everything.

At this moment, Qingyu also began to use the Body Flicker Technique, moving swiftly through the mist. The direction his blade was aimed at was Baixing's right hand: he wanted to kill this Konoha enemy ninja who didn't care about his comrades, stole the Amegakure's intelligence, and caused the death of his Amegakure comrades in a cruel way!

"go to hell!"
