Chapter 368: Mission
Chapter 368: Mission
Early the next morning, Nawaki found Allen, and then set off with the other six ninjas.
This time the special operation was led by Nawaki, and the other six members were Chunin.
Nawaki is the only jonin on the team. (T/N: Ok!!)
As for Allen, because he isn’t a Ninja, he had no ninja rank. However, He was strong enough to fight Orochimaru.
Except for Nawaki, the six members were all seeing Allen for the first time, so they expressed doubts about his identity and origin.
As the captain, Nawaki simply introduced Alan to them but concealed that Alan was called by his sister Tsunade to protect him.
On the way, Allen asked: “Nawaki, what is the Mission?”
Nawaki whispered: “You are just called by my sister to protect me, so it is inconvenient for me to tell you the details of the mission. But it will be better if I tell you.”
Afterward, Nawaki told Allen about the Mission they were going for.
It turned out that this Mission was arranged for him by Orochimaru because Nawaki was his disciple, so Orochimaru wanted to train Nawaki’s ability to lead a team.
This Mission is not difficult. After all, Nawaki is the disciple of Orochimaru, and the latter won’t let his disciple get in danger.
And the specifics of the Mission are to sneak into a small village.
This village is inside the water country, under the jurisdiction of Mist Village.
The Mission for Nawaki and others is to enter The village and find out if there are ninja troops from the Mist stationed there.
The task is not difficult, the only danger is that if there are ninjas from the Mist Village there, then Nawaki and the others are very likely to be discovered once they sneak in.
Orochimaru naturally took this into consideration, so he gave Nawaki a scroll.
As for what’s in the scroll, even Nawaki didn’t know.
He just accepted Orochimaru’s words, if you encounter danger, you can open the scroll, and you will be able to get out of danger.
Hearing what Nawaki said, Allen felt that the scroll Orochimaru gave Nawaki might be some kind of seal, which could kill or delay enemies, and help Nawaki and the others have time to escape when they were in danger.
As for why Orochimaru needs to know whether there are ninja troops from the Mist Village stationed in a small village or not, no one knows.
But Allen knew that Orochimaru would never do useless things. He must have his own ideas for asking Nawaki to do this.
In this war, Konoha was facing the four major villages at the same time.
However, fortunately, the four hidden villages are not united, and they are still hostile to each other.
Starting from the camp, after running for half a day, Nawaki and his group finally arrived at a mountain not far from the village.
Nawaki took out a map and said: “That’s the village over there, we will go there when it gets dark.”
Allen on the side saw that Nawaki was ordering in a serious manner, quite like a captain, so he couldn’t help nodding, showing appreciation.
Sneaking in the darkness of the night was best, as it makes it hard for anyone to detect them.
As soon as the night fell, Nawaki and the others sneaked in together.
The village was under the Mist Village’s jurisdiction, so they might have some Ninjas and they might get discovered.
After three hours of investigation, Nawaki and the others found at least 30 Ninjas in the Mist.
At this point, Nawaki and the others completed at least half of the mission.
Now, they only needed to leave and return back to report to Orochimaru.
However, on the way back, one of the Chunin in the team triggered a trap in the forest and was instantly killed.
Seeing one of his team members die, Nawaki was stunned, like the other team members for a moment, before grief filled their hearts.
Especially one of the Chunin, who was close to the one who died. He was sad before the sadness turned to anger as he clenched his fists.
But Allan felt something was wrong and said to Nawaki: “Let’s go, the enemy will be here soon.”
But Nawaki shook his head and said: “No, let’s stay. I want to avenge him, so let’s go take out the enemy.” The other five hesitated.
They were in enemy territory, and the number of enemies was larger than theirs.
It’s obviously not wise to fight with those circumstances.
However, in this moment of anger, Nawaki didn’t consider this point.
