Chapter 153: Mission Out of the Village
Danzo is dead, but the problems he left behind are no less.

The other things are easy to deal with, but as for the matter of Uchiha’s Sharingan, no matter what, he cannot escape the fact that he has stolen the bloodline of the ninja clan.

However, the one who stole the bloodline of the ninja clan was Danzo, the elder of Konoha.

This is really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, with no way to express the pain.

“Hokage, you told me to come find you outside the village before.” Uchiha Fugaku’s voice was a little flat, but Sarutobi Hiruzen still heard anger in it.

Thinking about this, he sighed again and said, “Fugaku, I don’t know about this matter either.”

“But the compensation you deserve will not be less.”

“At the same time, I promise that such a thing will never happen again.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expression gradually became serious, “As for compensation.”

After a moment of silence, he said hesitantly, “The Root will be cancelled in the future. I will compensate you with half of his funding.”

“As for the rest, you can go to the Shimura clan to ask for it. Konoha is sorry for you in this matter.”

As he said this, he stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Uchiha Fugaku.

Seeing his expression, Uchiha Fugaku’s anger was reduced a little, but he still said a little stiffly, “If that’s the case, then let’s end this matter here.”

“I will go find the Shimura clan later.”

Uchiha Fugaku said this. In fact, he didn’t want to embarrass his relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two advisors.

This is the best way to handle this matter.

The Uchiha clan received compensation, and Konoha turned this matter into a conflict between the Shimura clan and the Uchiha clan.

Although he was still somewhat resentful, at least Danzo was dead.

The death of this high-ranking Uchiha who had been targeting them was actually the best outcome.

“In that case, I will take my leave.”

Uchiha Fugaku came out of the Hokage’s office and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Among the four high-ranking Konoha officials, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a staunch supporter of fusion.

It was the same idea as his, wanting the Uchiha to integrate into Konoha.

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu are neutral and support Sarutobi Hiruzen. Only Danzo inherited the will of that damn Senju Tobirama and has been suppressing their Uchiha clan.

After walking a distance, Uchiha Fugaku murmured, “I hope things will get better later.”

Four days later.

Danzo’s death did not cause any waves in Konoha. Most of the civilians in Konoha did not know of Danzo’s existence. Among the ninjas, those who had families were warned by their families not to discuss this matter.

Among the rest of the civilian ninjas, few knew Danzo.

Life has to go on, and Yuichi Yuuki is now carrying a small schoolbag, standing at the entrance of the village with Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze.

“I say, why is Obito late again!” Hatake Kakashi was speechless.

“This is our first mission outside the village.”

Hearing that he was a little speechless, Yuuki Yuichi shrugged, “It’s not like you don’t know about that guy Obito.”

“It would be a disaster if he wasn’t late one time.”

“That being the case, it’s not good to be late every time.” Hatake Kakashi complained.

Namikaze Minato stood behind the two of them, listening to their conversation with a smile and shook his head, “There’s really nothing I can do.”

As he spoke, he saw a hedgehog-head wearing goggles running towards him, with a black cat chasing after him.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he could see clearly the black cat behind him.

The two eyes are different colors and the hair on the body is also shiny.

“That cat looks familiar.” Hatake Kakashi suddenly said.

Yuuki Yu nodded, “A little bit.”

“That’s the objective of our first mission.” Namikaze Minato chuckled, “Obito is really an incredible guy.”

While they were talking, Uchiha Obito had already arrived in front of them.

The black cat behind him also stopped here, meowed softly at Yuuki Yuichi and the other two, and then ran in the opposite direction.

Uchiha Obito was still breathing heavily, but when he saw this scene, he was immediately furious and jumped on the spot, “Damn black cat!”

“I only caught you once, but now you’re pestering me every day! I’m going to stew you sooner or later!”

“Obito, you’re late again.” Minato Namikaze said helplessly when he saw his look.

“Teacher Minato, just as you saw, I was blocked by the black cat again.” Uchiha Obito said with a somewhat collapsed tone. He was also very desperate!

Every time I go out for an appointment, I am dragged down by various things and end up being late.

Hearing his words, Namikaze Minato also sighed. He also knew about Uchiha Obito’s situation, but he still couldn’t figure out where Konoha came from with so many old men and women as well as stray cats and dogs.
However, he did not delve into it, but said, “Since everyone is here, let’s go!”

“Hey! Great!”

Uchiha Obito cheered, “Master Obito is finally going to embark on his path to becoming Hokage!”

“Everyone be prepared! Hehe, hahaha!” He put his hands on his hips and laughed in place. When he came to his senses, he found that he was the only one left here.

Minato Namikaze, Yuichi Yuuki and Kakashi Hatake had already walked some distance away.

“Hey! Wait for me!” Uchiha Obito shouted, then ran away.

When they were carrying out the mission before, they agreed to take on a C-level mission close to the capital of the Fire Nation.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki would naturally not go back on their word.

Walking on the road, Namikaze Minato looked at his three disciples, his expression gradually becoming serious, “Although this is a C-level mission, you can’t be careless.”

“Many ninjas died during C-rank missions.”

Namikaze Minato said seriously, “Although the standard of C-rank missions is that ninjas will not be involved, unexpected situations will always occur during the mission.”

Yuuki Yuichi nodded seriously, obviously he knew it.

“There will always be unexpected events during a mission, just like our mission this time.” Yuichi Yuichi said, taking out a mission intelligence and said, “Although this mission is to wipe out a mountain stronghold, no one knows if there is any trickery involved.”

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded, “Yes, I also took on many such missions when I was performing C-rank missions before. They look ordinary, but there are many tricks in them.”

“Like there are ninjas or new-style samurai among the bandits.”

“A new school of samurai?” Uchiha Obito scratched his head and asked in confusion, “Are there any new schools of samurai?”

“Or is this a special group?”

Glancing at Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi said calmly, “Because of the emergence of ninjas, the status and living space of samurai have been greatly reduced. Traditional samurai do not have chakra.”

“They only hone their fighting skills and techniques, but they are essentially no different from ordinary people. However, because they hone their skills, their lethality is much higher than that of ordinary people.”

Hatake Kakashi said, and glanced at Uchiha Obito again, paused and continued, “But with the emergence of ninjas, they were gradually replaced.”

“Eh?” Uchiha Obito asked in surprise, scratching his head, still puzzled, “Then why don’t they refine chakra?”

“I remember Uncle Sakumo seemed to be a samurai who used chakra, right?”

“Oh, you too, Kakashi.”

Hatake Akashi: “.”

He didn’t want to talk anymore. Uchiha Obito’s words left him speechless.

But if he didn’t speak, someone else would speak up. Namikaze Minato continued his words and explained, “Sakumo-senpai and Kakashi are not samurai.”

At this point, Namikaze Minato paused for a moment and added, “Although it looks a bit like that.”

“But it’s different.”

“The Hatake family was a samurai family before, but later joined Konoha and gradually began to accept everything about ninja. Now they are no longer samurai, they are ninja.”

“However, the Hatake family combined the family’s swordsmanship and chakra to develop a set of secret ninjutsu.”

“So they just look like samurai, but they know ninjutsu, too. It’s just that swordsmanship is more suitable for them to perform tasks.”

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito was a little confused, but doubts arose again.

“Swordsmanship can be combined with chakra, shouldn’t samurai be better?”

“Then why are they like this?”

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato shook his head and said, “Kakashi, the Hatake family used to be a samurai family, so you should speak.”

“Yeah.” Hatake Kakashi nodded.

“Although chakra can be combined with swordsmanship, many people still cling to the glory of the samurai and are unwilling to change. At the same time, they also prohibit such changes.”

“So bad.” Uchiha Obito complained, “It can be even more powerful, just an extra chakra, why don’t you want it?”

Seeing his expression, Yuuki Yuichi kicked the stone at his feet into the grass nearby, and then said, “This is the obsession in their hearts.”

“It is also the pure land in their hearts.”

“Not everyone wants to change, Obito.” Yuuki Yuichi said, looking at Uchiha Obito, “Just like you want to become Hokage, it is obviously a difficult thing, and there are many people in Konoha who aim to do this. Will you give up?”

“In other words, if one day, ninjas become samurai, will you give up your ninja title, your Uchiha clan’s Sharingan and your honor?”

Uchiha Obito was silent. He couldn’t accept the thought of it in his mind. He couldn’t give up becoming Hokage or giving up the Sharingan and the honor of Uchiha.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and his expression became firm, “I won’t give up!”

“No matter how difficult the road is, I will never give up my dream!”

“I am the man who will bear the Uchiha clan emblem and become Hokage!”

When Yuichi Yuuki saw him, he always felt like a follower of some passionate male protagonist.
“You’re very ambitious, Obito.” Namikaze Minato looked at him with a smile.

Uchiha Obito’s face suddenly turned red when he heard this. He scratched his head a little embarrassed, but he still asked, “So, what is that new school of samurai?”

Looking at his expression, Yuuki Yuichi was somewhat speechless, “So you haven’t realized it yet?”

“Realized what?” Uchiha Obito looked confused.

With a sigh, Yuuki Yuichi said directly, “The samurai who do not accept chakra are traditional samurai, and the samurai who accept chakra and combine swordsmanship with chakra are naturally new-style samurai!”

“Obito, if possible, you can eat more walnuts.”

“Six at a time, six times a day.”

“Why?” Uchiha Obito looked at Yuuki Yuichi. For some reason, he always felt offended.

Looking at his expression, Yuuki Yuichi sighed, “I heard that six walnuts are good for the brain.”

Uchiha Obito: “.”

“In that case, it seems you need to eat more.” Hatake Kakashi said from the side, making Uchiha Obito fall into doubt. Is he really that stupid?
“Wait, aren’t we talking about the mission?”

“How did we get to this point?!” Uchiha Obito’s IQ suddenly took the upper hand.

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, “Then go on.” “Like Yuichi said just now, there will always be unexpected things during the mission. There may be samurai who master chakra, or there may be rebellious ninjas or wandering ninjas.”

“Their strength varies. Some may not even be as strong as Genin, but some may have the strength of Jonin.”

“These are unexpected circumstances.”

Namikaze Minato said as he walked behind Yuuki Yuichi and the other two, leaving a Flying Thunder God mark on their clothes, and then continued, “If your lives were not in danger this time, I would not have taken action.”

“But just in case, I left the Flying Thunder God Mark on your clothes, which will allow me to rescue you in time.” As he said this, he smiled at the three of them.

“So, I’ll leave first.”

“I will watch you from the dark, but if I show up, your mission will be considered a failure.”

As he said this, Minato Namikaze disappeared on the spot. Yuuki Yuichi and the other two didn’t know how he disappeared.

However, it is normal for Minato Namikaze, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, to suddenly disappear. After all, even he himself does not know how many Flying Thunder God marks he has outside.

Looking at the mark of the Sword of Ninja Love on his chest, Yuuki Yuichi felt completely safe.

Well, the Flying Thunder God mark is left on their clothes, and Minato Namikaze is still observing the three of them in the dark, so it will be difficult for them to die this time.

“What should we do next?” Uchiha Obito looked at the two of them and then spoke.

Hearing his words, Hatake Kakashi looked at Yuuki Yuichi, thought for a moment, and said reluctantly, “You tell me.”

“You are the strongest and have the most ideas.”

“You be the captain.”

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Yuichi looked at Hatake Kakashi in surprise, “You are so generous. It seems that you are sensible, Xiaoxi.”

“Don’t give me a nickname!” Hatake Kakashi was a little angry, “My name is Hatake Kakashi!”

“Okay, Kaka.” Yuuki Yu nodded, then looked at the information in his hand and said, “It’s still about four or five days away from the mission target.”

“Let’s go over there first and talk about it later.”

As he said that, Yuuki Yuichi looked at the two of them.

Don’t think that the ninja world is small just because ninjas can travel across a country in just a few days.

In fact, the ninja world is not small. The number of all the countries combined is comparable to the Europe in his previous life.

The speed of the ninjas is not slow. By infusing chakra into their feet, their speed is enough to compete with that of ordinary cars.

And they also have the ability to take shortcuts.

Even though Yuichi Yuuki and his three companions were a little slower as it was their first mission, it was still amazing enough.

Hearing Yuuki Yuichi’s words, Uchiha Obito nodded and said, “Then what are you waiting for?”

“move!”

As he said that, he ran forward.

Yuuki Yuichi and Hatake Kakashi looked at each other, then followed reluctantly.

Minato Namikaze was hiding in the dark, and was speechless when he saw Uchiha Obito’s actions. He took note of his reckless shortcomings in his mind and prepared to correct them in the future.

Three days later, at dusk.

Yuuki Yuichi and the other two squatted on a big tree, looking at the mountain village standing halfway up the mountain opposite.

“That’s our mission objective, right?”

Hatake Kakashi narrowed his eyes and looked over there, then spoke without turning his head.

“Yeah, right there.” Yuuki Yuichi didn’t move.

“Then what are we waiting for?” Uchiha Obito was a little excited, and his whole body couldn’t stop shaking.

“Should we go for the assassination or just charge in?”

“Obito, calm down.” Yuichi Yuichi looked at him and sighed, “We don’t know what the situation is yet.”

Hearing his words, Uchiha Obito became a little anxious and said immediately, “But the intelligence has already written that there are several samurai in this mountain village, more than 30 people.”

“They often robbed nearby villages before, and only asked for some silver and food, so they could still tolerate it. But the first two times they went down the mountain, these bandits killed seven or eight people, which made these villages a little panicked.”

“So the three nearby villages pooled their money and sent people to Konoha to issue the mission.”

“Isn’t this very clear?” Uchiha Obito said hurriedly, “We only have to deal with those few samurai.”

“Wouldn’t it be easy to kill the others?”

Hearing his words, Yuuki Yuichi looked at him deeply.

Get rid of it?

Killing someone easily is not something that can be done simply, no matter how well prepared you are mentally.

He dared to guarantee that Uchiha Obito, who was shouting the loudest now, would be the one who suffered the most later.

Even if their target was the bandits, that still amounted to more than thirty lives.

“Obito, we need to investigate.” Hatake Kakashi spoke from the side.

“Although it’s already written in the mission information, this is just what the villager who issued the mission said.”

“We need to investigate before the mission begins.”

“If this intelligence is wrong, or if this mission is a trap set by someone, then we have the right to refuse the mission.”

“A trap?!” Uchiha Obito’s pupils shrank, he couldn’t believe it.

“No way”

“Why not?” Yuuki Yuichi glanced at him and asked, “It’s not like the ninjas of various ninja villages haven’t been tricked before.”

“Some wandering ninjas will specifically send people to the ninja village to post missions, then trick the ninjas to the mission location, and then kill them to obtain some ninjutsu or information about the ninja village.”

At this point, Yuuki Yuichi looked at him speechlessly, “Obito, although I didn’t really pay attention in class, the teacher has talked about this kind of thing many times in class, right?”

Ikkaku Umino is a good teacher. Every time he teaches a class, he will talk about some things that need to be paid attention to when performing tasks.

These include but are not limited to someone posting a false mission to lure a ninja to death, how to reduce one’s presence during an assassination, how to poison someone smoothly when poisoning, etc.

Whenever there was a suitable opportunity, Umino Ikkaku would bring up these precautions. Just the one about the mission to lure and kill ninjas, Yuuki Yuichi had heard it no less than three times.

He heard this even though he didn’t pay much attention in class.

Hearing his words, Uchiha Obito’s face turned red. He hadn’t listened to the teacher’s class since the first assessment when he discovered that he could use the Sharingan to copy other people’s movements.

In the morning, he practiced at the training ground. In the afternoon, during class, he kept looking at Nohara Rin, or fantasizing in his mind about how he would manipulate Yuichi Yuuki and Kakashi Hatake and become Hokage.

He, Uchiha Obito, doesn’t like to attend classes.

Seeing his look, Kakashi Hatake and Yuichi Yuuki knew that this guy didn’t listen in class at all.

Minato Namikaze, who was hiding in the dark, took out a small notebook, which was filled with the shortcomings of the three people.

He wrote the names of Yuuki Yuichi and other two at the front, and then wrote the shortcomings that needed to be improved or changed.

There are only a few questions behind the names of Yuuki Yuichi and Hatake Kakashi, while there are densely packed questions behind the name of Uchiha Obito.

Looking at the notebook in his hand, Minato Namikaze sighed and wrote another question on it, [Lack of common sense in the ninja world]. He really didn’t expect that Uchiha Obito didn’t know such a common sense question.

“I have to discuss this with Kushina when I get back.”

Now, apart from his strength, basically nothing else about Uchiha Obito is acceptable.

In other words, he is a reckless person who only knows how to use force.

After putting the small notebook away again, Minato Namikaze looked in the direction of the village, and then subconsciously left a Flying Thunder God Mark on the big tree where he was hiding.

This is his habit. Whenever he goes out on a mission, he will leave the Flying Thunder God Mark everywhere.

This is also one of the reasons why he doesn’t know how many Flying Thunder God Marks he has.

Not far from him, Yuuki Yuichi and two other people were lying on another big tree. After discussing how to investigate the intelligence, the three of them separated.

There are exactly three villages, one for each person.

There aren’t too many people in villages like this.

Although there are not many mountains in this place, there are not too few either.

If you want to be rich, build more roads. This saying is not groundless.

Without a road to the outside world, you cannot become wealthy.

Walking on the road, Yuuki Yuichi thought about these things, and then ran towards the village.

While on the road, he also used transformation techniques to disguise himself as a samurai.

It just so happens that his Pluto also fits the identity of a warrior.

There are many wandering warriors these days.

As we walked into the village, the villagers became alert when they saw strangers entering the village.

“Old man, can you stay here for one night?” Seeing the old man who looked like the village chief walking towards him, Yuichi Yuuki stepped forward and asked.

“I’m a samurai from the Iron Kingdom. I got lost around here and would like to stay for one night. I’ll leave tomorrow.”

As he spoke, he took out a thousand-liang bill and handed it over.

After receiving the 1,000 taels, the village chief showed a helpless expression, “My dear, this area is not safe.”

“If you’re just staying here, then it’s fine. But if you stay here for more than three days, the bandits in the mountains will demand money for your life.”

Hearing this, Yuuki Yuichi felt happy. Isn’t this the opportunity to gather information?
Thinking about it, he asked with a puzzled expression, “Per capita money?”

“Are there any bandits around here?”

“Yeah.” The village chief nodded, put the bill away, and smiled bitterly, “Yes.”

“The bandits came a few years ago. At first they just wanted some food and property, but in the past two years, they started asking us to pay a head fee.”

“Everyone has to be given 1,000 taels a month. It was okay at the beginning. Basically every family had some extra money. After all, we live in this place and can find something to eat in the mountains.”

“But we have to pay every month, and we can’t afford it. In the past two months, some people were killed because they couldn’t pay.”

At this point, the village chief sighed, as if he didn’t want to say anything more. Instead, he waved at him and said, “If you want to stay, then come with me.”

“If it’s just for one night, it’s fine.”

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Yuichi followed in silence.

He didn’t say anything else, but looked around.

The villagers were somewhat wary of his arrival, but generally did not harbor any ill will.

Moreover, most of the villagers looked pale and thin, which was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition.

ps: I have been busy recently, so the updates are a bit unstable. I will start updating normally tomorrow, and the updates that were missing before will be made up.
