Chapter 53 The Great Power Robbery Escalates
The calendar pages flipped quickly, and before we knew it, Konoha's 34th year had come to an end.
For the past two months, Gojo Yoru has not been staying in Konoha to train, but has been traveling around half of the ninja world with Orochimaru.
They carried out a wide variety of tasks.
There are C-rank missions to escort caravans, B-rank missions to escort nobles, and A-rank missions to accept invitations from small countries to help them defeat a ninja squad from another country...
短短两个月，五条夜的履历，就从1次S级任务和两位数D级任务，变成了57次D级任务、1次C级任务、1次B级任务、1次A级任务、1次S级任务。
Such a resume is absolutely number one among genin, far surpassing the resumes of the original Gaara siblings.
It has only been a little over half a year since Gojo Yoru graduated early.
The fact that Gojo Yoru was able to complete so many tasks in such a short time is naturally thanks to the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The most time-consuming tasks are not the high-level missions to defeat ninja squads, but rather the C-rank and B-rank missions that require walking alongside them.
Without the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would take half a month just to travel back and forth.
However, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Gojo Yoru and Orochimaru only needed to escort the mission target to the destination, and they could return to Konoha in a few teleports.
In order to spread the Flying Thunder God Technique throughout the ninja world, Orochimaru did not give Gojo Yoru a long vacation. He only allowed her to rest for a day or two before sending her back on missions.
Cultivation also takes place during missions.
"At this time, it's too late to reach the next village or town. Let's just make do here for the night."
It's another B-level escort mission.
The Land of Bears, sandwiched between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, is a rocky mountainous region relatively close to the Land of Earth.
Orochimaru found a good spot and spoke to the person who had commissioned the mission.
The latter did not refuse, but very politely requested, "Then I'll trouble you, ninja sir, to keep watch tonight."
"Don't worry, this is our duty."
Just as the team was setting up their tents, Gojo Yoru, as usual, went to find some secluded and inconspicuous places to leave behind the Flying Thunder God technique.
Gojo Yoru didn't know the maximum distance between the caster and the spell, so he left a Flying Thunder God spell almost every ten miles, or even every few miles.
When Gojo Yoru sensed it, a large number of light spots immediately appeared in his mind, all of which were spacetime anchor points in the style of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
By consuming space-time chakra to connect to the anchor point, Gojo can instantly appear at any of the anchor points.
Swah——
Just as Gojo was alone, passing by a huge rock.
A cold glint suddenly shot out from the rock, slicing through the body of the five nights.
"One done."
The transparent figure gradually solidified.
The ninja who had successfully carried out the assassination wore a smug smile.
But the next second, his smile froze.
With a snap, Gojo Yoru, who had been cleaved in two by the ninja sword, turned into a puddle of mud.
"Earth clone? No, earth substitute, when did he form the hand seals?!"
The ninja looked bewildered, then suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to form hand seals to escape.
At that moment, a hand landed on his shoulder.
"You've been with us for so long, you must be exhausted. Take a rest."
"Sealing Technique: Heavy Sealing of Limbs"
Tadpole-shaped incantations spread from the shoulder, instantly taking control of the ninja's body.
call out--
Just as Gojo Yoru finished sealing, the upper body of a person emerged from a huge rock not far away, spitting out a pebble that shot towards Gojo Yoru with a whooshing sound.
"There are other experts?"
Gojo Yoru was slightly surprised and dodged the pebble attack in a flash.
The ninja didn't linger in the fight. Instead, he rushed out of the rocks, grabbed his companion, and prepared to flee.
*Pfft*
As the sound of tearing cloth rang out, a golden light suddenly flashed in the ninja's eyes.
The next second, darkness engulfed his consciousness, and death took his life.
When the head was separated from the body, the ninja's eyes were still filled with doubt.
He clearly didn't know where that golden light came from, or how he suddenly died.
"Ryuta!!"
The sealed ninja stared in horror, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
"It's so noisy! You're the perpetrators, why are you acting like victims?"
Gojo Yoru rubbed his ears, which were ringing from the shock, and put the laser sword back into its hilt. Then he raised his hand and placed it on the ninja's head, casting an illusion to knock him unconscious.
On the shoulder of this ninja, there is still a remnant of the Flying Thunder God technique.
When sealing him away, Gojo Yoru habitually left behind a Flying Thunder God Technique formula, which was the cause of death of the ninja named Ryuta.
They waited in the same spot for a while longer.
After seeing that no one else appeared, Gojo Yoru took out a storage scroll, put away the head of the ninja named Ryuta, and then carried the unconscious ninja back to the group.
"Master Ninja, who is this?"
Upon seeing Gojo Yoru return carrying someone after going out, the mission commissioner's expression instantly changed, as if he had realized something.
Gojo Yoru ignored him and instead reported to Orochimaru, who was neither wearing a Jonin vest nor any other vest and appeared to be an ordinary person: "Orochimaru-sensei, the rat has been lured out. Besides this guy, I also took down another one. They used Earth Release: Rock Concealment Technique, Earth Release: Mind Reflection Fish Technique, and Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique. They should all be Iwa ninja from the Land of Earth."
Upon hearing this, before Orochimaru could speak, the mission commissioner's expression changed drastically again, and he shouted to the group, "Stop setting up the tents! Quickly take them back; we need to travel under the cover of night."
Orochimaru crouched down and began to search the ninja's body, then stood up and sighed, "Even ninjas from major countries are infiltrating small countries and acting as bandits. The ninja world is getting more and more chaotic."
"Orochimaru-sensei, will they have reinforcements coming from behind? Should I go scout ahead?" Gojo Yoru asked.
"There's no need for that. They don't even have headbands, so it's probably not a spur-of-the-moment decision. They're probably specially trained for robbery, and they probably don't even have ninja files," Orochimaru said coldly. "People who can do this kind of dirty work have their brains implanted with jutsu. The higher-ups won't let them know too much. We won't get any information out of them. Just kill them."
"Yes."
Gojo Yoru took out the Thunder God Sword and channeled chakra into it.
A dazzling golden light shot out from the middle of the handle, piercing through the head of the ninja whose name was unknown, and sending him to the Pure Land to reunite with the guy named Ryuta.
Immediately at the request of the person who commissioned the mission, the team set off under cover of night.
Such scenes are not unique to Gojo Yoru and his group; they can be seen everywhere in the ninja world.
Military conflicts stemming from economic imbalances are escalating.
Nowadays, even major powers still have some sense of shame and will hide their headbands.
When the conflict escalates again, they've completely abandoned all sense of shame.
