Naruto the Genius

Chapter 81: Don’t chase the poor criminals
Hinata opened her Byakugan, looked into the distance and said, "The enemy is running away quickly towards the twelve o'clock direction. If we chase them now, we should be able to catch up." Everyone in Konoha looked at Naruto, and one of them said, "Captain, let's chase them immediately. With so many of us, we can kill them sooner or later." Just as they were about to chase, Naruto raised his hand to stop them, and said slowly, "The task assigned to us by the Hokage has been completed. The other party may have stronger forbidden techniques that have not been performed. I don't want to sacrifice too many of my companions." After hearing what Naruto said, everyone lowered their heads and kept silent. What Naruto said resonated with them. "

A group of people stood on the water, and there was a rare quiet situation. The tasks of the Anbu were usually cruel, but these Anbu were directly under the Hokage and were basically loyal to Tsunade. Although the policies of the Third Hokage and Tsunade were not strong enough, they reduced the casualties of Konoha to a large extent and preserved its strength, which was actually more advantageous in the game between the big countries. Most of the Anbu who followed Tsunade were infected by this idea, and now they completed the task with the least casualties, which was naturally more ideal.

Naruto broke the awkward situation, walked to the middle and said: "Since the mission has been completed, let's go back to Konoha." After that, Naruto took the lead and rushed to the base. The people of Konoha could only follow behind Naruto. Although there were a few who wanted to chase, they did not dare to oppose Naruto. It was a little awkward at the beginning, but later everyone was happy that the mission was successfully completed, and slowly began to become harmonious. Naruto and his group went to the base to rest first, and then find a way to return to Konoha.

The two brothers of the "Blood Ninja" were also very worried about being hunted down by the people of Konoha. They retreated at the fastest speed and did not dare to stop. They stopped to rest after running a long way. They found that the people of Konoha were not chasing them. They sat together panting. The Bloody Maniac lay down on the ground and said, "Brother, we finally escaped. The situation just now was very unfavorable to us. If we continue for a long time, we will definitely be killed." The Bloody Wind also fell to the ground with a puff and said, "The legendary Black Thunder, no wonder the third brother was killed. We finally escaped, but why didn't they chase us."

The Bloodthirsty Devil said, "Let's not think about this for now. Our mission this time has completely failed. I don't know how to explain it when we return."

Bloody Rain said: "This operation was not completely fruitless. At least we found the ninja who assassinated the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, Black Thunder, and we also learned that he was from Konoha. Although we don't have evidence for the time being, it still has some value from the perspective of intelligence."

The two rushed back to the Land of Water as fast as they could. The Mizukage had not expected that this time he had dispatched so many ninjas to bring back such news. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the two's ability to do things, based on the information they brought back, he also knew that it was because the opponent was too strong, so he did not hold them too accountable.

The Mizukage paced back and forth in the office. The failure of this mission dealt him a heavy blow. "Black Thunder, I never thought Konoha would have such a talented ninja again. Has the gap with the Land of Fire widened again? The situation may become increasingly unfavorable in the future." The Mizukage muttered to himself in the office. He was destined to suffer from insomnia that night.

Konoha brought many Anbu back to Konoha, and had previously reported the basic situation of the mission to Konoha through a messenger pigeon. Tsunade was very satisfied with this mission, and also agreed that Naruto did not pursue Kirigakure relentlessly. Naruto's importance in Tsunade's heart increased again. Gathering most of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, Tsunade announced a message to everyone: "From today on, Jing Lei will become the commander-in-chief of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, and he enjoys a position second only to me in the Anbu directly under the Hokage. Everyone must obey his command."

Naruto stepped forward, neither humble nor overbearing, bowed to Tsunade and said: "I thank the Hokage for his respect, and I will do my job well in the future." However, some Anbu still couldn't accept this news. Naruto had been in the Anbu for too short a time, and many people didn't even know him, so it was normal for him to have some criticism. An Anbu stepped forward and said: "Hokage, the position of the commander-in-chief has not been determined before, because it is difficult to choose a person who can convince everyone in the Anbu. I don't know this Jinglei, may I ask..."

The implication is that there are great doubts about Naruto's ability to take such a position, but this is also within Tsunade's expectations. Tsunade coughed, and everyone quieted down. Tsunade said: "Jinglei has not been in the Anbu for a long time, and has not performed many missions. It is normal that some people don't know him." As soon as Tsunade said this, everyone stared at her intently. Everyone was very skeptical about using a newcomer to take such a position.

Tsunade ignored everyone's expressions and continued, "Let me briefly talk about the more important tasks that Jing Lei performed. First, he once led a four-man team to destroy the alliance between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water, and prevented the Raikage's plan to invade Konoha." This was indeed a very difficult task. Some of the Anbu who had been dissatisfied with Naruto before had stopped talking, but some were still dissatisfied.

Tsunade added: "Let's talk about the second one next. However, the following are all secrets of the Fire Country and must not be leaked. He once sneaked into the Earth Country alone and assassinated the daimyo of the Earth Country, which directly shattered the Earth Country's idea of ​​harming the Fire Country." Many Anbu looked at Naruto with disbelief. What kind of strength is needed to do this? This time, no one was dissatisfied.

Tsunade was still not satisfied, and continued, "Recently, he led Konoha's Anbu, and despite being at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, he stopped the action of Kirigakure, which had assembled more than a hundred Anbu. Most of these Anbu were jonin, and three of them were extremely powerful. Jing Lei led many Anbu to act together, and only two people from Kirigakure escaped, while Konoha only lost two people." This time, Tsunade once again dealt a heavy blow to their hearts, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

Tsunade said: "So, I have decided to let Jing Lei be the commander-in-chief of the Anbu directly under the Hokage. From now on you will use the title given to you by the Tsuchikage in the Anbu, Black Thunder. Do you have any objections?" Many Anbu members were silent. Only a few legendary figures in the Anbu could achieve such an achievement.
