Yūto was walking alone on the road leading to Land of Water Front Line. The surroundings were quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
"What the hell is Sister Mikoto doing..." Yūto scratched her head and said to herself,
"You just came back yesterday, and you kicked me out of the village today?"
He recalled the past few days with his fingers, teaching children training, going shopping with Pakura, and chatting with Fugaku. He did nothing extraordinary at all!
"You can't be afraid that Pakura will attack me, right?" Yūto suddenly thought of this possibility and even laughed out loud.
"Are you kidding? Pakura is such a serious person..."
Smiling, he suddenly remembered that Pakura looked at him in a strange way recently, and he shuddered immediately.
"Impossible, impossible!" Yūto quickly shook his head and quickened his pace.
"Front Line must be short of manpower. Sister Mikoto is worried for me!"
A few days later, the humid sea breeze blew in.
Yūto Standing on the coast, the air is filled with a strong smell of fish.
"Kirigakure these people are really good at picking places..." Yūto muttered, pinching his nose, "If you can't beat them, just hide in the sea, like bastards."
While he was complaining, a shout suddenly came from the distance, "Yūto! This way!"
Two figures wearing Uchiha uniforms ran towards him.
Yūto squinted and saw that they were Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inabi.
About half a year ago, when Yūto was still Genin, the two of them would never look at him.
Because like Obito, he is a crane tail on the surface.
Uchiha Clan has a proud character and looks down on novices the most.
But who would have thought that in just half a year, he would become Jonin of Three Tomoe.
Not only that, but also got Tailed Beast.
I have been able to beat Rasa and Kazekage.
Tekka and Inabi looked at Yūto from the previous disregard to the current respect and admiration.
Tekka took Yūto's arm, "Mrs. Mikoto specially sent a message asking us to pick you up because she was afraid you would get lost."
Inabi chuckled beside her, "She also specifically told us to keep an eye on you and not let you go the wrong way."
Yūto's mouth twitched. "As for that?"
He is not a child anymore, so how could he have gone the wrong way?
Tekka shrugged. "Who knows? Let's go, I'll take you to the camp first."
The three of them advanced along Coastline, and Yūto discovered that Konoha's defense line was not concentrated in one place, but was scattered into multiple small Root Headquarterss, lined up along Coastline.
"Kirigakure These people are like loaches. They shoot and change places." Inabi pointed at the sea fog in the distance, "They sneak attack from the sea and then escape after the attack. It's very annoying."
Yūto nodded. Kirigakure's hard power is not top-notch, but his strength lies in his elusiveness. Moreover, when fighting across seas, it is difficult for Konoha to take the initiative.
After hearing this, Tekka added:
"Commander Front Line has been talking about you recently, saying that he needs a ninja with fast reaction speed who specializes in catching sneak attacks Kirigakure Ninja."
"Commander? Who is it?" Yūto asked casually.
"Lord Jiraiya." Inabi replied.
Yūto was stunned. "Huh? That old pervert?"
Tekka and Inabi looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
Arriving at the big tent in the center of the camp, Tekka opened the curtain. "Lord Jiraiya, Yūto are here."
Yūto walked in and saw Jiraiya sitting at the table, holding a book with a focused expression, as quiet as a literary young man.
"Huh? Have you changed your gender?" Yūto muttered in his heart and glanced at the cover of the book curiously.
Icha Icha Paradise.
Yūto:...
Sure enough, he is still the same old pervert!
He coughed twice, and Jiraiya then raised his head. His eyes lit up when he saw Yūto, and he hurriedly stuffed the book into his arms:
"Hey! Isn't this Yūto? Long time no see!"
Yūto laughed dryly, "Lord Jiraiya, your book..."
Jiraiya chuckled, took it out again, and handed it over excitedly:
"This is the latest version! I specially asked someone to buy it from Konoha. I didn't expect it to be written by you!"
Yūto is a little embarrassed. In the original work, this book was clearly the masterpiece of Jiraiya, but now it belongs to him.
"Can you sign your autograph for me?" Jiraiya's eyes shone like a star-struck fan.
Yūto bit the bullet and signed, and quickly changed the subject. "Um, do you have a battle plan? It's best to have one that can capture prisoners."
Jiraiya put away the book, touched his chin and thought, "Capture prisoners...Kirigakure people are very slippery, but..."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of information Scroll.
Yūto took it and took a look. It contained information from the intelligence team of Kirigakure.
According to the above information, a group of intelligence personnel from Kirigakure will escape from Land of Fire back to Kirigakure in the past two days.
Most of them are intelligence ninjas with little combat effectiveness, and there is only one Jonin escorted by Kirigakure.
The content of the intelligence always seemed a bit familiar to him.
Yūto put down the information Scroll, feeling a little uninterested.
His targets are those powerful Kunoichi, or Kunoichi with Kekkei Genkai.
Rather than intelligence officers with little combat effectiveness.
Uchiha Clan's Sharingan already has the ability to obtain intelligence, and there is little need for such acquired intelligence talents.
However, Yūto does not intend to let this opportunity pass.
Even if the fisherman knows that this time he will probably be in the air force, he will still go to make a nest.
"Okay, I'll take this mission!"
Jiraiya showed a pleased smile and patted his shoulder, "Great, Front Line is short of manpower."
Yūto is a little confused:
"Didn't Sunagakure have a ceasefire? Logically speaking, they should be able to mobilize a lot of people to support Kirigakure Front Line, right?"
Jiraiya sighed, shook his head and said:
"Sunagakure's reinforcements have been sent to Iwagakure Front Line."
"Iwagakure?" Yūto was stunned, "Isn't Iwagakure still at war with Kumogakure? How can they come up with so many troops to deal with Konoha at the same time?"
"Kumogakure and Iwagakure have ceased fighting."
"A ceasefire?!" Yūto was surprised, "Didn't we fight very fiercely before?"
Jiraiya nodded. "Third Raikage died in the battle. Kumogakure is in a mess inside. We have no energy to continue fighting Iwagakure for the time being."
Yūto suddenly realized. "I see... no wonder Iwagakure can free his hands to deal with Konoha."
He thought for a while and said simply, "Then I will prepare tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."
Jiraiya waved his hand. "There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's not too late to rest for a night before leaving."
Yūto nodded. "Okay."
Jiraiya suddenly came closer, rubbed his hands, and said in a low voice with some embarrassment:
"Well, Yūto, since you are free tonight, can you teach me how to write a book?"
Yūto's mouth twitched. "Are you serious?"
Jiraiya said sincerely, "Of course! Your book Icha Icha Paradise is really good, I want to learn the skills!"
Yūto raised his head helplessly. "Okay, but let's agree first that I will only teach the serious parts!"
Jiraiya chuckled, "Don't worry, don't worry, I promise to study hard!"
