Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 14: Healthy Competition and the Hunt Begin!

Arai's training of Yubi was not limited to simple practical guidance, but included many other aspects.

For example, in addition to guarding against infiltrating enemy ninjas, their mission also includes inspecting passing caravans.

Although it was during the Fourth Shinobi World War, some economies in various countries were still operating... When Yubi was inspecting the convoy, Arai would often use his transformation technique to disguise himself and launch attacks against him, or disguise himself as various enemies, or set traps in the valley, etc.

And so on.

Because the fighting styles between ninjas are inherently diverse, Arai did this in order to further enhance Yubi's experience in dealing with situations on the battlefield.

Because of Arai's rigorous training, Yubi always returned to the base covered in dust and grime every day.

Sometimes... due to exhaustion or injury, Arai would carry them back to the base.

This scene was also witnessed by Scorpion.

Scorpion also knew that even when Yubi was resting, he would secretly cultivate on his own.

He's a complete madman who exploits himself.

Under this "diverse" training, Yubi's growth is naturally evident.

Especially in physical combat, he can now exchange simple blows with Arai and hold his own for a while instead of being overwhelmed.

This rapid improvement was astonishing even to Arai, an elite Jonin.

In his eyes, Yubi was like a dried-up sponge, constantly absorbing the experience and techniques he taught her, and perfectly digesting and utilizing them.

Sometimes, he doesn't need to emphasize or correct many things; he understands things immediately, his comprehension is almost superhuman.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, in addition to training, they also encountered some enemies, most of whom were from Amegakure.

Even though the previous great battle had already brought bitter consequences to Amegakure, Sunagakure and Amegakure did not shake hands and make peace, and minor frictions continued between the two sides.

Arai felt that the time was almost up... so he changed his mind and decided to take Yubi and Sasori to launch a surprise attack on the stronghold in the Land of Rain.

It is only polite to reciprocate; we cannot allow the people of Yuyin to run rampant in their Wind Kingdom.

swoosh swish...

Therefore, one late night.

Three figures, one large and two small, headed straight for the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain.

"This is a solo mission... I will record the entire mission and hand it in after returning to the village. I will not interfere during the mission. What you two need to do is very simple: kill Amegakure as quickly as possible and get out unscathed."

On the way, Arai said in a deep voice.

Although venturing deep into enemy territory is dangerous, as an elite Jonin, Arai is confident that he can lead the two kids away even if something goes wrong.

His goal was to create healthy competition between Scorpion and Yubi.

In his opinion, although Yubi is currently only a genin, he has already reached the level of a chunin.

After returning to the village, you can apply for the assessment.

In addition, Yubi has been competing against him... Although he has gained experience, it has been in a rather one-dimensional way.

Different ninjutsu are good at different escape techniques and have different fighting styles... Fighting against various types of enemies is undoubtedly the best way to accumulate combat experience.

"Given your previous experience fighting Amegakure, I must remind you that the opponents you encountered weren't particularly strong. While Amegakure isn't considered a major ninja village, it was very active in the recent Shinobi World War. Its leader is Hanzo of the Salamander, known as a demigod. Those who survived the trials of war, especially those guarding the border, are all exceptional individuals. Once you enter the Land of Rain, besides searching for their hiding places, you must also conceal your own movements. Exposing yourself too early will be extremely dangerous."

"clear."

Yubi nodded.

He knew that Arai was referring to him.

Scorpion had more experience with missions than him, so he naturally had more insights.

Before long, in the darkness of night, the gravel beneath them gradually turned into soil, and some green vegetation appeared around them... In the distance, even the dark shadows of mountains could be seen.

This is undoubtedly one of the routes where the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain meet.

As soon as the three approached, some Sand Village guards nearby appeared and tried to stop them.

But after seeing that they were one of their own, they let their guard down.

"It's Arai-sama."

The two Sunagakure inhabitants bowed to Arai.

"How is it?"

Arai asked.

"Rain Village has been very quiet lately... Although there have been some minor movements, we discovered them all in advance," the former replied.

"Um."

"What are you doing here?"

The two Sand Village ninja glanced at Yubi and Sasori.

"Take them on some missions," Arai casually remarked.

The two Sand Village ninjas glanced at Yubi curiously; Sasori… they knew each other.

Who is the remaining little devil?

After exchanging a few more words, Arai led Yubi and the other two away from the cordon and began to venture deeper into the Land of Rain.

Do you know him?

After watching the three leave, Sunagakure, standing still, looked at his companions.

Even with Lord Arai there, sneaking into enemy lines alone is incredibly dangerous... Even they don't have the confidence to do that.

They acknowledged that Scorpion was the village's genius puppeteer.

But the other kid... no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem quite right.

"You look unfamiliar."

The latter replied.

……

"The border defenses are indeed tighter than those in the rear; we were discovered as soon as we showed our faces."

Yubi ran quickly, glanced back, and thought to himself.

"Be careful, keep up with me."

As they drew closer to the border, even under the cover of night, Arai's attitude became extremely serious.

After saying that, his speed instantly increased.

Arai clearly had some understanding of Amegakure's deployment along the border; his route and path into the Land of Rain were obviously carefully chosen.

Sparse trees began to appear around us, and ahead lay a vast forest.

Without the slightest pause, three figures leaped into the forest, using tree trunks as cover to leap with all their might.

No sooner had they left than several figures emerged from the shadows.

"I think I heard a sound... Is it the enemy?"

A rain-dwelling figure squinted, observing the ground and surroundings for any possible signs.

Nothing unusual was found.

"There are no signs of intrusion."

Another Rainbow confirmed this.

Then, the figures flashed and disappeared.

A few hundred meters away, on the shady side of several tree trunks, the three of them crouched and leaned against the ground, using it as cover.

Arai remained silent, knowing that they were now in enemy territory and any slight movement could expose them.

Arai simply gestured to the two of them.
