Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 204: Secret Technique of Anbu

Although the mission objectives were determined, Kaito still had many questions that he had not figured out, so he simply asked them all at once.

"So how many escorts does Konohagakure have? Will there be someone from the Sunagakure Village to pick them up? Or will Konohagakure send them all the way to the Land of Wind?"

Yagura didn't seem to be unhappy about Kaito asking so many questions.

Intelligence is crucial for ninjas to carry out their missions, so the more detailed the better.

Yagura first took out an intelligence scroll and handed it to Kaito, and also gave a brief explanation.

"According to intelligence, the number of Konoha's escort personnel will not be too large. However, we cannot identify their exact personnel, not even the person leading the team knows."

'There aren't many of them, so they are all elite soldiers, right?' Kaito silently translated for Yagura in his heart.

"As for the support from Sunagakure, don't worry. Konoha will escort Pakura all the way to the border of the Land of River for the handover. You just need to intercept them on the border of the Land of Fire."

"And this time it's a secret escort, so Konoha won't take the conventional main road. Instead, they will bypass their own front-line camp."

Kaito could think of only one reason: shameful!

The number one ninja village was not only forced to return the prisoners, but also had to secretly escort them all the way back to their hometown. It was simply shameful.

But this has nothing to do with Kaito, so he continued to ask.

"Since it's a secret escort, what's the route?"

Yagura thought about it and decided to explain it in more detail.

"We have obtained the route through transactions with some people in the Sunagakure Village, but it is only a rough route. That's why we asked Ao to accompany you this time. We also need him to help you lock on to the target."

Kaito subconsciously looked in Ao's direction, but Ao just smiled at him and didn't say much.

"Kisame is mainly responsible for covering your actions during this mission, but you still need to minimize the combat of ground forces to avoid inconvenience in retreating from the Land of Fire."

"In addition, you will need to depart from the sea for this mission, and you will still be in charge of the second aircraft carrier. Although the members of the escort aircraft carrier will follow you, you will only be given half of the flying ninjas."

"The rest of them need to stay at the front camp and Flying Unit Leader Harusame will take the command. Make sure there are enough flying ninjas support at the front."

After hearing this, Kaito nodded and understood.

After all, this operation from the Kirigakure Village is a secret operation, not a bombing of Konoha, so there is no point in bringing too many people.

"The rest of the detailed information is in the scroll. You can take a closer look before the mission."

Kaito was not in a hurry to check it immediately. He just stuffed the scroll into his arms, but what he was thinking about in his mind was what Yagura had just said.

'I didn't expect that this information would come from inside the Sunagakure Village.'

'It seems that someone doesn't want Pakura to go back.'

'Rasa?'

'It shouldn't be. After such a long time, Pakura can no longer threaten Rasa's position. Instead, she will be a good fighting force. Otherwise, the return of the prisoners would not be achieved this time.'

'I guess it's some kind of dirty internal struggle?'

Kaito didn't care much about these things, but turned to look at Harusame.

Kaito had been a little confused before, as to why Harusame, who had nothing to do with this mission, would be on standby here.

He originally thought there was something else going on, but it turned out that he was here to hand over the work to his team members.

"It's not a blessing, Leader Harusame. The people under me are all very bad. You have to be careful when using them."

Harusame looked at Kaito who was pretending to be pitiful with a frown on his face, and held his forehead in silence.

It's not the first day he has known this guy, how could he not know what kind of person he is?

In the end, he just shook his head and laughed.

"Don't worry, I'll keep them all for you and return them to you when you come back."

Kaito grinned when he heard this.

"Thank you, Leader Harusame."

Then he looked at Yagura.

"Yagura-sama, when should we leave?"

"No need to rush. We got the intelligence early this time. Konoha hasn't started transporting Pakura yet. You can go back and rest and arrange the operatives."

Kaito shrugged.

"Well, that's not bad."

However, after Yagura finished his last sentence, the rest of the people walked out of the tent one after another.

But Kaito had no intention of moving at all.

Instead, he stood there motionless, staring at himself.

"Um, Kaito, you're not leaving?"

Unexpectedly, Kaito had an expression that said "listen to what you are saying".

"Yagura-sama, have you forgotten something?"

Seeing that Yagura hadn't reacted at all, Kaito simply stretched out his right hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger in a 'heart' gesture.

Yagura suddenly realized what was going on, patted his head and cursed with a smile.

"You little brat! You won't be missing out."

After saying that, Yagura picked up a scroll from the table and threw it to Kaito.

Kaito took it and looked at it. On the scroll was written "Secret Technique: Mist Rain".

'I didn't expect it to be this technique!'

Yagura also explained.

"This secret technique was originally only available to the captain of the Anbu, but you were transferred out before you could become a captain."

"Of course, it's not against the rules for you to study as the squad leader of the flying unit now. Go back and take your time."

Kaito said with a cheerful and sunny smile.

"Then I would like to thank you, Yagura-sama."

'Secret Technique: Mist Rain' has the effect of generating a fine rain composed of special chakra, which reduces the power of the enemy's ninjutsu.

Although it was not the signature ninjutsu of Yagura, 'Water Style: Water Mirror Jutsu' as he had imagined, Kaito was still quite satisfied with this jutsu.

There is no such thing as too many ninjutsu with special effects. Kaito might be able to draw inferences from this and develop other effects.

After happily leaving the tent, Kaito originally wanted to find Ao to ask about his recent situation.

Unexpectedly, he did not find the other party, so he simply returned to his aircraft carrier to arrange the next personnel to be taken out for the mission.

Anyway, they still have to carry out the mission together next time, so there is no rush to meet now.

"Captain, let our squad go with you! As for the first squad and the second squad, it's fine, but what about the eighth squad? What gives them the right?"

As he said this, the captain of Team Seven glared at his colleagues.

"What are you looking at! Since when did our Flying Unit team start to rank people according to their abilities? If you don't agree, go to the sky and practice!!"

"What? Do you think Am I afraid of you?"

Kaito didn't think too much about it this time. He just randomly selected seven well-organized teams to follow him to carry out the mission.

But he didn't expect that the others were so active that they even quarreled over a place to go on a mission.

"Stop talking nonsense, I was planning to rest in the camp myself! You all can just enjoy yourselves!"

Although he said so, Kaito still had a smile on his face despite his subordinates' behavior.

Although his prestige in the Flying Unit was earned through repeated victories, he was still somewhat relieved to have the trust of these blood mist ninjas.

"Okay, the rest of you go report to Leader Harusame."

"Be careful when you're on a mission, don't rush ahead like an idiot! I don't want to train new people again after I come back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone smiled with an "I understand" expression.

"Yes! Captain!" xN
