In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"This……"

Beneath the masks of the ANBU ninjas

They all gasped, their teeth chattering.

Thinking back to a few years ago, when the Nine-Tailed Fox wreaked havoc...

Those predecessors who were stronger than them were all killed in a single encounter with the Nine-Tails.

Their current strength... is really not enough!

Thinking of this,

Beneath their masks, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

"Then... Captain, why are we running around here in the middle of the night, braving this cold wind? What are we doing here?"

As the captain of the dark side squad, codenamed "Purple," Uzuki Yugao mustered her courage and asked Tengo.

Tianyu raised his chin slightly, gesturing to the crowd,

"Look down below, they're here."

Everyone was stunned.

He quickly looked down into the forest.

At this moment, the perception team in the Dark Division, responsible for sensing, suddenly spoke loudly.

"Report, Captain! A small, unidentified team of four has been spotted 4 meters to the southeast, rapidly approaching their target, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Report, Captain! An unidentified squad of four has been spotted 4 meters to the northeast, rapidly approaching their target, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Report, Captain! A small, unidentified team of four has been spotted 4 meters to the southwest, rapidly approaching our target, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Enemy attack?

The instant the ninja reported the message,

The ninjas of the Anbu became tense.

"Captain Mingyu, let me lead my squad to the southeast to intercept the enemy!"

"Captain Mingyu, I request permission to lead a squad to intercept the enemy in the northeast!"

"Then I'll request to lead a squad to the southwest to intercept the enemy!"

The squad leaders of the Dark Division,

They all volunteered to join the battle and intercept the enemy.

At this moment,

Tianyu, however, calmly raised his right hand.

He gestured for his men to be quiet and obey his orders.

He smiled faintly.

"No rush, let's see what these people are planning to do first."

Upon hearing this,

The ninjas of the Anbu all looked on with puzzled expressions.

The enemy has already launched a coordinated attack on their target—Naruto Uzumaki. Why isn't the captain in a hurry?

Based on their previous methods, shouldn't they have launched an immediate attack to nip those enemy plans in the bud?

After defeating them, should we quickly capture them and take them to the interrogation department for questioning?

Sitting idly by and waiting for death has never been the style of the Dark Division.

Tianyu, however, had no intention of explaining to them.

He wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

It's because he already knows who the enemy is.

If he doesn't let the other party give anything away... how can he catch them red-handed?

Isn't there a saying that goes like this?

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Chapter 107 "Those with Connections"

"Who...who are you people?"

In this forest,

A ninja with Chunin-level strength.

I received a notification from the Hokage tonight.

They were transferred here to carry out a mission: to find a brat named Naruto Uzumaki in the village and retrieve the stolen Book of Seals.

Although I don't know why the Hokage would only send him, a ninja with the strength of a Chunin, to carry out such an important mission.

However, he did recognize that brat named Naruto Uzumaki.

He's a kid who didn't even graduate from the ninja academy.

This should just be a simple search mission, right?

Just as he was thinking this,

He suddenly realized that he was surrounded by several masked ninjas dressed in black.

Sensing the other party's hostility,

He immediately questioned the other person loudly.

"Who are you people? How dare you do this in the village..."

He hadn't finished speaking when

With a "thump!"

He was knocked unconscious by the masked men and collapsed on the spot.

"How foolish, to ask such an idiotic question." One of them sneered, holding a kunai as he approached the Chunin lying on the ground.

"Just knock him unconscious, don't kill him. The master instructed us to keep a low profile. Our target is the Book of Seals," another person said.

The person holding the kunai seemed somewhat reluctant to stop. After putting the kunai away, he said indifferently, "I understand."

Then, these masked men,

Then it leaped to another spot in the forest.

He knocked out another ninja of Chunin strength, causing him to fall to the ground.

……

"Lord Mingyu! The Chunin and Genin squad that the Hokage sent to search for Naruto Uzumaki has been completely knocked unconscious by the enemy. Shouldn't we make our move now?"

One of the secret service squad leaders finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Tianyu.

His tone was somewhat anxious.

Before Tianyu could speak,

I've been standing next to the captain since tonight.

A ninja they had never seen before, wearing a cat-face mask, began to hurl insults at them in an unfriendly tone.

"What are you asking? Didn't you hear the captain's order?"

"Obey orders from superiors."

Don't you remember the primary principle of the Anbu ninja?

Now you even dare to question the leader's orders? Do you still want to stay in the Dark Division?

If you don't want to stay here, then get out of here right now. Stop standing here in the way and getting in everyone's way; it's infuriating to even look at you.

"I really don't know how you people were selected for the Dark Division. Each generation is worse than the last!"

The ninja who was being insulted was immediately rendered speechless.

Having already served in the Anbu for several years, and now as the captain of an Anbu squad,

He was somewhat resentful of Ming Yu, who was only thirteen years old but had already become the newly appointed captain of the Dark Guard and his superior.

He was publicly berated like this.

Knowing he was in the wrong, his old face beneath the mask immediately flushed red.

He felt so ashamed and embarrassed that he now wanted to hide in a hole.

The other ANBU ninjas all focused their attention on the person who had just been shouting insults, their eyes looking confused beneath their masks.

Who is this person?

The squad leaders of the secret service exchanged glances.

Then they saw in each other's eyes the same confusion they had felt.

They're not from my team.

They're not from my team either.

that……

Who exactly is this person?

To dare to point at and yell at a squad leader of the secret service right off the bat... that's too audacious, isn't it?

"Ahem... She's my newly recruited bodyguard."

Tianyu promptly offered an explanation.

Everyone put on an expression of sudden realization, instantly understanding why the "female guard" dared to be so arrogant. It turned out she was a "connection member" who had joined the Dark Division through her relationship with Captain Mingyu.

"Almost got it."
