Because the Sand Village, which originally targeted the Rain Ninja, also joined the battlefield, the Konoha front, which had just won a great victory, fell into anxiety.

Fortunately, Orochimaru and his three companions were at the front most of the time, and they would deliberately leave one person to guard the front when performing tasks.

In addition, the pressure on the front line increased, and for a while Danzo was unable to find the right opportunity to assign dangerous tasks to Rope Tree and others.

Therefore, this period of time became a time for the three teams to grow rapidly.

Every day, they were either refining chakra, learning ninjutsu and sparring, or on the way to do tasks. Although it was very tiring, everyone's strength and mission experience were steadily increasing.

It is still the 37th year of Konoha, but time has gone from the spring of vitality to the autumn of harvest.

It has been more than half a year since Asakawa Naoki and his companions came to the front of the Rain Country.

In addition to the three-person team of Orochimaru's class who were promoted to Chunin in advance, the two teams of Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Mikoto also took the time to return to Konoha to participate in the Chunin exam, and naturally passed it easily in the end.

It has to be said that in the war era, the death rate of ninjas is indeed high, but if a ninja can complete many tasks and still survive, the growth rate will be much faster than in peacetime.

It has been only half a year since graduation from the Ninja School, and all nine disciples of Orochimaru and his three companions have been promoted to Chunin.

And most of their classmates who did not go to the front line but stayed in Konoha to do tasks are still Genin, and only a few participated in the Chunin assessment and passed it to become Chunin.

It can only be said that there are pros and cons. Growth is indeed fast on the battlefield, but the danger is indeed high.

If it were not for their powerful instructors and disciples of the contemporary Hokage, and if there were no genius ninjas like Asakawa Naoki, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Mikoto leading the three teams, they would probably have died on the battlefield under the cruel command of Danzo.

However, even on such a dangerous front battlefield, there are still people whose light is increasingly difficult to cover up, so that the ninjas stationed on the front line of Konoha and even many ninjas in Konoha know the name of Asakawa Naoki.

"Hello, we are here to submit the mission."

Asakawa Naoki and the other two came to the mission club on the front line. The person in charge was still the black-haired female ninja. Seeing the three people, she asked enthusiastically:

"Okay, it's Asakawa Naoki, Nawaki and Masamura Oki, right? Do you have a mission report?"

"Yes." Nawaki took the initiative to hand over a mission scroll.

Taking the scroll, the black-haired female ninja looked at it carefully, and then made a seal on the scroll. The bodies of three ninjas wearing Sand Village forehead protectors and several puppet remains stored in the scroll appeared outside the club, causing a panic.

Obviously, the Konoha ninjas who came to submit the mission recognized the identity of the bodies.

"This leader must be Shahai Juro, he's quite good at puppetry, but I didn't expect him to die at the hands of Asakawa Naoki's team."

"That's right, this guy is a jonin from the Sand Village, and the other two guys are chunins. The three of them are proficient in puppetry and work well together. They killed a lot of ninjas from the Rain Village and our Konoha. I didn't expect them to die so soon."

"So, Asakawa Naoki should be almost as strong as a jonin." A ninja asked, but no ninja answered.

Asakawa Naoki graduated at the age of ten and has been on the front line for more than half a year. If he became a jonin, he would be less than eleven years old.

Many ninjas watching suddenly felt that they had lived like dogs all these years.

"The puppeteer is too weak in close combat." Asakawa Naoki explained softly, but didn't say anything else.

The surrounding ninjas looked like you were too modest. The puppeteer might be weak in close combat, but the puppeteer would not let anyone get close to him easily!

Moreover, this is not the first jonin killed by Naoki Asakawa.

Others who died at the hands of Naoki Asakawa were not all puppeteers.

"Okay, your mission has been completed." The black-haired female ninja said after reading the report:

"In view of the appearance of the Sand Village ninja, the difficulty and danger of the mission have been increased to S-level. Congratulations on completing another S-level mission."

"Thank you, if there is nothing else, we will leave first." Naoki Asakawa nodded.

The three of them walked on the road, and Naoki and Masamura Oki also felt a little emotional.

Not only did the onlookers feel that they had lived like dogs these years, but even those who were the same age as Naoki Asakawa felt that they had lived in vain for more than ten years.

Although they were honored in front of outsiders, they still felt a sense of gap when they were alone.

"Naoki, you are too strong." Naoki sighed.

"Yes, it feels like the two of us are just dragging you down." Masamura Oki also sighed.

In the past six months, they have done a lot of tasks, and most of them were completed easily without any accidents.

Once an accident occurs, basically all of them were solved by Naoki Asakawa.

If it weren't for Naoki Asakawa, they would have died several times.

"How long have you graduated? You've become Chunin in less than a year. You're already very strong." Naoki Asakawa looked at the two.

Compared to when he graduated, he was only 1.4 meters tall. Now Naoki has grown to 1.5 meters tall, and his appearance has matured a little. Masamura Oki is about the same.

In fact, the two are already very strong. If they were promoted to Chunin half a year ago, their strength was still lacking.

Then after half a year of study and training, the two have already possessed the real strength of Chunin, leaving those peers who are still Genin far behind.

"Don't compare with me, I just developed earlier and improved my strength earlier, but I won't be so fast in the future." Naoki Asakawa smiled.

"Got it."

The two nodded. It's frustrating to compare with others. Sure enough, they can't compare with Asakawa.

Back to the residence, because the war was in a stalemate, the tents where the ninjas lived had all been replaced with wooden houses.

In the wooden house, they saw a figure.

"Teacher Orochimaru, are you back from the mission?" Nawaki said happily.

"Yes, I heard that you also completed the mission very well." Orochimaru touched Nawaki's head affectionately and said.

"Well, it's mainly Naoki's credit." Masamura Oki nodded.

"Naoki's strength is indeed very strong, but you don't have to be inferior, you are already very strong." Orochimaru comforted, and then looked at Asakawa Naoki.

He couldn't see through this disciple.

"Teacher Orochimaru, do you have any mission?" Asakawa asked with a smile.

He also had to admit that worshipping Orochimaru as a teacher was indeed a correct choice.

If it weren't for the teacher being Orochimaru, Asakawa Naoki would not have been able to show his talent, complete so many missions, and accumulate many mission experiences that ninjas might not be able to complete in their lifetime.

It is precisely because Teacher Orochimaru can protect him from the wind and rain, and block the suspicion and investigation of the Konoha high-level and even Danzo, that he can slowly reveal his strength and become a genius ninja.

If his teacher is just an ordinary jonin, he may choose to reveal his strength when he can dominate the ninja world.

"There is no mission." Orochimaru shook his head and said:

"I just think that your strength is almost there. After the war is over, maybe I can recommend you to become a jonin."
