In Konoha, Attributes Double Daily! Section 39

The person only showed their eyes and nose, their entire face wrapped tightly in bandages.

"Who is this?"

Obito muttered softly.

"How should I know?" Han Guang shrugged.

"It's Morino Ibiki," Kakashi recognized him.

Goodness.

How severe were his injuries to be bandaged like this?

Seeing that Team 9 had all arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table to signal for quiet.

"Your mission this time is to go to Supply Station No. 3! Morino Ibiki will tell you the specific details of the mission."

"Prepare yourselves. We depart in one hour."

After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi buried his head back into his paperwork.

An hour passed quickly.

Team 9 assembled and, along with Morino Ibiki, left the village together.

"Hey! Is that you, Little Ibiki?" Han Guang sidled up to the bandaged man and nudged his shoulder.

"Han Guang, please use my full name!" Morino Ibiki turned around, looking a bit annoyed.

"You could have just turned your head. Why did you turn your whole body?"

"Because my neck is injured."

Alright, it seems the injury is indeed quite severe.

Morino Ibiki and Han Guang were in the same graduating class. The difference was that after graduation, Han Guang joined Team 9, while Ibiki was in Team 3.

The reason he hadn't recognized him at first was mainly because the bandages were so thorough.

"Tell us about the mission," Han Guang asked.

"This mission is very complicated."

Next, Morino Ibiki explained the cause and content of the mission.

After listening.

Team 9 looked dejected.

Simply put, the mission was for Team 9 to rebuild Supply Station No. 3, as it had already been destroyed twice.

Given this situation, the Third Hokage decided that the reconstruction of Supply Station No. 3 would be carried out by a ninja squad.

This way, it would combine both reconstruction and defense.

"So, your injuries were caused by a Sand Ninja destruction team?" Han Guang asked again.

"That's right! And both of my teammates were killed."

Morino Ibiki's tone held a hint of sadness.

All his teammates had died; he was the only one who returned alive.

"I see..." Han Guang stroked his chin.

Before a major conflict, infiltration, sabotage, and assassination were standard operating procedures for all ninja villages.

The most crucial of these was destroying supply stations within enemy territory.

This way, frontline troops would not receive adequate supplies, and their combat effectiveness would drop significantly.

A simple example: Side A has an endless supply of kunai and explosive tags, while Side B has a limited quantity!

The outcome was obvious.

His thoughts returned to the present.

"Rebuilding the supply station isn't difficult. The difficult part is, can we defend it?" Han Guang raised his question.

After all, Team 9, plus a half-crippled Morino Ibiki, only amounted to four and a half people.

How were they supposed to defend the supply station?

The Sand Ninja destruction team only needed to sneak over in the middle of the night and throw a few explosive tags, and the supply station would be gone.

"This mission is quite challenging~~" Kakashi also sighed.

Passive defense was manageable with a large number of people, but with few people, there would be a huge disadvantage, especially when the enemy is hidden and they are exposed.

The next afternoon.

The group arrived at Supply Station No. 3, which had been reduced to ruins.

The reconstruction work began.

Kakashi held a hammer, striking with a 'ding-ding-dang' sound as he secured a wooden plank to a tree trunk.

Obito, carrying a pile of scattered wooden planks, was sweating profusely from the effort.

Rin squatted on the ground, sorting usable wooden planks with Morino Ibiki.

Only Han Guang remained still.

He held a plank in his left hand and a hammer in his right, lost in thought.

Ninjutsu: Gravity Sphere (Rank A+) [Quality Evolution]

Staring at the doubled Rasengan, Han Guang was in a daze.

"What is this? The Rasengan doubled, and even its name got lost in translation?"

According to his original guess, a doubled ninjutsu should only have its rank change, but it seemed that wasn't the case.

Just by looking at the name, he could tell this ninjutsu had already deviated from the path of the Rasengan.

"If it doubles again, could it turn into Chibaku Tensei?"

Han Guang made a bold guess.

"Hey! Everyone, look! Han Guang is slacking off!" Suddenly, Obito shouted.

Immediately after, the other three looked at the dazed Han Guang.

"Don't just say things. I'm thinking about a problem," Han Guang stated righteously.

"Is that so?" Obito looked suspicious.

"Han Guang must be thinking of a way to defend the supply station," Rin defended Han Guang.

"Let's get back to work," Kakashi said expressionlessly.

Watching this scene, Morino Ibiki felt a bit confused.

Han Guang, that dead last, was openly slacking off, and Team 9 didn't have much of a reaction?

Had they gotten used to it?

Whoosh!!!

Just then, a strange gust of wind blew in from a distance.

Along with it came over a dozen drifting Explosive Tags.

Seeing this.

Several people retreated about ten meters.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

Over a dozen Explosive Tags floated towards the supply station.

Boom!!

They exploded.

Chapter 32: Malicious Slogans, Han Guang's Fishing Plan!

The explosion sounded, shattering a large number of wooden planks.

Smoke and dust billowed, carrying a few sparks of fire.

Several charred wooden planks flew to their feet, as if displaying their grievances.

"Kakashi!"

Han Guang called out.

Swish!

Kakashi leaped out and charged in the direction the wind had come from.

Ten minutes later.

Team 9 and Morino Ibiki gathered around, looking at the blank sealing scroll on the ground.

"So, you searched all around and only found this?" Han Guang frowned.
