The next morning.
The sky was still dimly lit.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura had already quickly gotten up and finished washing up.
They quickly packed their belongings and prepared to accept their new mission.
On the Internet, countless workers twinkle like stars.
It covers multiple areas such as intelligence gathering, escort operations, ruin exploration, and clearing out the ninja camp, with varying degrees of difficulty and danger.
Only those with the corresponding permissions can unlock the corresponding level of missions.
Naruto and Sasuke have high authority and great strength, so most of their influence is public knowledge.
Looking at the tasks listed, Naruto couldn't help but complain as he made his selections.
"The name 'Internet' is really awful. Why not call it 'Omni-Net '?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes at him after hearing that.
"This name was chosen by Brother Yan, do you have any objections?"
"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. This is the task we'll take!"
Naruto pursed his lips, selected a mission, and clicked on it lightly.
The light screen quickly unfolded in front of the three members of Team 7.
"Mission accepted!"
" Team 7, your mission this time is to go to the valley region on the border of the Land of Lightning."
"Intelligence indicates that a mysterious ninja group is active there, suspected of being in cahoots with the Land of Rain, gathering intelligence and plotting sabotage against Konoha."
"Your mission is to infiltrate the valley, ascertain their situation, and eliminate them if necessary."
After reviewing the mission details, the three quickly discussed their battle plan.
Once everything was ready, they set off for the border of the Land of Lightning.
Sasuke took out three skateboards from the sealing scroll and handed two of them to Naruto and Sakura.
Naruto curiously took the skateboard and looked at it from left to right.
"What's this new gadget? It looks so cool!"
"This is Konoha's latest Ninjutsu-Powered Skateboard, which can be propelled by injecting chakra."
Sasuke explained.
"The skateboard has a special array of runes on its bottom that can adjust its direction and speed based on chakra fluctuations."
"Moreover, it also possesses a certain degree of stealth capability! When we inject an appropriate amount of chakra, the skateboard will blend into the light refraction of the surrounding environment, making it difficult for the enemy to detect."
"However, the invisibility function consumes more chakra, so we should use it according to the actual situation."
"..."
Naruto and Sakura's eyes gleamed with anticipation as they quickly stomped on it, simultaneously channeling their chakra into the skateboard's drive mechanism.
In Setsuna, the three of them shot into the sky like arrows released from a bow, speeding away into the distance.
Time passed slowly.
As they drew closer to the border of the Land of Lightning, the atmosphere grew tense.
The three gradually descended and landed at the edge of a dense forest.
Sasuke put away his skateboard and said, "From here, we'll be walking into the valley. Everyone, be careful."
On the way to the valley.
Naruto curiously fiddled with a small device in his hand.
This is Chakra Signal Detector developed by Konoha.
Sasuke glanced at it and said, "Don't rely too much on tools; your own sensory abilities are equally important."
As they approached the valley, the sky suddenly darkened, with thick clouds gathering, as if foreshadowing impending danger.
"Something's not right here, everyone be careful."
Sasuke activated his Sharingan, the black Tomoe slowly rotating as he warily observed his surroundings.
Then, using the rocks and trees in the valley as cover, they slowly advanced.
Suddenly, Naruto sensed a faint fluctuation of chakra and immediately signaled Sasuke and the other to stop.
"There's something going on over there."
The three approached quietly.
Before long, a group of ninjas dressed in black robes and wearing masks were sitting around a makeshift camp, talking in hushed tones.
There were some strange ninja tools and scrolls around them, and they seemed to be discussing something important.
Just as Naruto was about to rush forward, Sasuke grabbed him and whispered.
"Don't act rashly, listen to what they have to say."
At that moment, Sakura used a small Sound Ninja to ensure their actions would not be detected.
Through this ninjutsu, they could also clearly hear the conversations of the mysterious ninjas.
"This mission must succeed. We must send back intelligence on Konoha's border defenses. The master will reward us handsomely."
"Don't worry, we've been lying in wait here for a long time and have gathered a lot of intelligence."
"If we wait a few more days, we can lure the Konoha ninjas into the trap."
Upon overhearing the conversation of the mysterious ninjas, Sasuke quickly activated the special function of his forehead Forehead Protector.
A faint light flashed across his Forehead Protector.
It then established a connection with Konoha's internet system, transmitting the scene of the mysterious ninja camp it saw and the content of the conversation it heard to Konoha's mission system simultaneously through the transmission device built into its Forehead Protector.
This is also Konoha's latest policy.
All Konoha Ninja need to activate this function to record mission completion status when they go on missions.
Without this recording, no matter how perfectly you complete the task, it will still be pending.
At first, many people thought it was unnecessary, considering it a pointless exercise.
However, under strong pressure from higher-ups and after dealing with several unruly ninjas, the policy was successfully implemented.
At this moment, the ninja with a scar on his face seemed to sense something, stood up, and looked around warily.
"I have a feeling that something is wrong, like someone is watching us."
Upon hearing this, the other ninjas stood up, drew their weapons, and began to search the area around the camp carefully.
" Sasuke, have we been discovered?" Naruto's body tensed, ready for battle at any moment.
"Probably not yet, it might just be their intuition. But we need to be careful, and if we're discovered, we'll retaliate immediately," Sasuke replied in a low voice, his Sharingan intently watching the mysterious ninjas' every move.
Sakura, meanwhile, quietly prepared Medical Ninjutsu, just in case.
The twenty-odd ninjas searched around the camp but found nothing unusual, so they returned to the center of the camp.
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Let's continue discussing the plan," said the scarred ninja.
Although they sat down again, they were noticeably more vigilant and spoke in much lower voices.
Not far away, Team 7 breathed a sigh of relief, but still dared not let their guard down.
"We can't wait here too long; we have to find a way to thwart their plans," Naruto whispered.
"That's right, but we don't know their specific deployment or the details of that secret weapon yet, so we can't act rashly," Sasuke calmly analyzed.
After a while, a light rain began to fall.
The raindrops pattered on the leaves, providing better cover for their ambush.
"This rain might be an opportunity."
Sasuke's eyes lit up.
