Chapter 161 The storm is coming
In the lonely little mountain village, Yuichi Yuuki wiped the blood off the body of Pluto, looked at the mess, and couldn’t help shaking his head.

“There are more and more C-level missions like this.” Hatake Kakashi watched from the side and said with a frown.

“Isn’t it good to have more missions?” Uchiha Obito said heartlessly, “The more missions I have, the closer I will be to the position of Hokage!”

Glancing at Uchiha Obito, Yuuki Yuichi chuckled and raised his eyebrows, “But have you noticed that there are more and more missions like this? What does that mean?”

“What does it mean?” Uchiha Obito scratched his head, “What can this mean?”

“Aren’t they just some bandits?”

“Idiot.” Hatake Kakashi, holding his short sword beside him, sneered: “The increase in the number of these bandits and robbers means that the current situation is not good. Don’t you know what will happen if the situation is not good?”

“Yeah.” Yuuki Yuichi nodded in agreement, “I have a feeling that soon we won’t be able to perform C-rank missions like we do now, and will only be able to perform B-rank missions occasionally.”

“Let’s go back.” Namikaze Minato appeared in front of them without knowing when, and smiled at the three of them, “Yuichi is right, I received a notice from the Hokage, asking us to return to Konoha as soon as possible, because a war is likely to break out soon.”

“Eh?!”

Uchiha Obito’s eyes widened, and he looked at Yuuki Yuichi and Hatake Kakashi in disbelief, “How could you have guessed such a thing?!”

“Obito, many things can be seen from other places.” Namikaze Minato put his hand on Uchiha Obito’s head, “Pay more attention to the subtle changes around you.”

Yuichi Yuuki snorted twice. Although he didn’t remember when the Third Ninja World War broke out, he knew it was most likely during this period.

In addition, the number of various bandits and robbers has increased, but it cannot be said to have increased.

There are actually no more bandits, but there are more tasks.

Although these two seem somewhat similar, they are essentially different.

The increase in the number of bandits is because more people have become bandits, and the increase in the number of missions to eliminate bandits does not necessarily mean that there are more bandits, but it may also be that there are fewer ninjas who accept these missions.
That’s why this illusion occurs.

The tasks are not the same as the tasks in the online games in the previous life. These tasks are not automatically issued by NPCs.

Once a mission is completed, it is completed and will never appear again, unless it is a mission in the village such as catching cats and dogs, unclogging sewers and clearing rivers.

Mission accomplished, the four of them ran in the direction of Konoha.

From time to time, Yuichi Yuuki would leave his little head pattern on the road, and Minato Namikaze and the other two didn’t say anything when they saw this.

Ever since the Byakugan and Sharingan merged, time has passed and they have been Genin for two and a half years.

Yuuki Yuichi is now over twelve years old and can be considered an experienced Genin.

“Yuichi, are you too cautious?” Uchiha Obito deliberately slowed down and moved closer to Yuichi Yuuki. The two of them kept the same speed. He couldn’t help but ask.

“You have engraved the Flying Thunder God Mark in many places in and outside the village.” At this point, Uchiha Obito still felt a little bit of pain, “There are so many Flying Thunder God Marks, can you tell them apart?”

“I can’t tell.” Yuuki Yuichi shook his head decisively, “I really can’t tell.”

Yuuki Yuichi said, and then asked, “But what does it matter if you can tell the difference or not?”

“When fighting, I will use the Flying Thunder God Kunai and temporarily engrave the Flying Thunder God Seal.”

“Then why don’t you just engrave it during the battle?” Uchiha Obito scratched his head, “Isn’t it a bit too cautious to engrave the Flying Thunder God Seal everywhere now?”

“You may never use these marks, right?”

Although Uchiha Obito was asking, his tone was very affirmative.

“Of course.” Yuuki Yu nodded and did not deny it.

“But I hope that if we encounter an unstoppable enemy in the future, I can use these Flying Thunder God Seals left everywhere to help you escape.”

Yuuki Yuichi said confidently, “This is why I engraved the Flying Thunder God’s mark everywhere.”

His words made Minato Namikaze in front of him look back.

He actually had the same idea before.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be Flying Thunder God marks left everywhere.

However, he has never used it once until now, because he has Flying Thunder God and does not need to use this last resort at all.

The location of this mission is not too far from Konoha, and I don’t know why these bandits chose to rob near Konoha.
Yuichi Yuki could only attribute these problems to the bandits’ crazy brains.

When we returned to the village, it was already the next morning.

“I’m finally back.” Uchiha Obito shouted while standing in front of the gate of Konoha.

“Konoha, your Master Obito is back!”

“Stop shouting, see if anyone is paying attention to you.” Hatake Kakashi walked past him and said lightly.

Because of Uchiha Obito, their team is still very famous in Konoha.

He is not famous for his strength, but for Uchiha Obito’s brain circuit.
Just like the way he’s yelling now.

If it was anyone else, someone would have definitely come over to watch.

But since it was Uchiha Obito who shouted, no one came to watch the fun.

Because in the eyes of the people of Konoha, no matter what Uchiha Obito does, they will not find it strange.

It’s just like the father and son of Might’s family shouting and yelling in the street every day because of their practice. It’s nothing strange.

“Minato, are you guys going back to the village too?” Yuhi Shinku walked out from the side and greeted them.

“Yuichi!” Yuhi Kurenai came out from behind him and threw herself on Yuichi Yuuki, hugging his neck and hanging him behind her back.

“Hehe, we also completed a C-rank mission!”

There was some joy in Yuhi Kurenai’s voice. When she saw Yuuki Yuichi again after a few days, she couldn’t control herself.

“Hong, come down quickly, everyone is looking at us.” Yuuki Yu half squatted down and motioned Yuhi Hong to get off him.

Hearing his words, Yuhi Kurenai also noticed the gazes of the people around her, her face suddenly turned red, and then she got off Yuuki Yuichi’s back.

“Hong, you are so brave.” Nohara Lin whispered beside Yuhi Hong.

“This is youth!” Might Guy yelled beside him.

It has been half a year since they graduated.

When the classes were divided, Nohara Lin, Yuhi Kurenai, and Might Guy were placed in the same class.

Yuhi Shinku is their team leader.

As for Asuma Sarutobi, his team leader is his biological brother, Shinnosuke Sarutobi.

“Senior Shinku, have you just finished your mission as well?” Namikaze Minato and Yuhi Shinku were walking in front, talking in low voices.

“Yes, I received an order from Hokage-sama right after I finished my mission.”

Yuhi Shinku said, with some sigh, “If there is no order from the Hokage, we probably won’t be back until tomorrow.”

“After all, I won’t be so anxious.”

“But, in this case, I won’t be able to meet you, hahaha.” Yuhi Shinku smiled and patted Namikaze Minato’s shoulder.

“That’s true.” Namikaze Minato smiled, then scratched his head, “But I thought we were the only ones who received the order from the Hokage.” “I didn’t expect that Senior also received the order from the Hokage to return to the village.”

Hearing his words, Yuhi Shinku looked around and whispered, “I heard from others that the Sandaime Kazekage seems to be missing.”

“The Hidden Wind Village blamed Konoha for the disappearance of the Sandaime Kazekage.”

“They are already gathering ninjas.”

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato frowned, “The Third Kazekage is missing, and they blame us, Konoha?”

“Isn’t that so?” Xihi Shinku was also a little indignant, “You also think it’s outrageous! This kind of thing is really…”

“Alas,” Xihi Zhenhong sighed, “Be more prepared, the war may begin.”

Namikaze Minato nodded, “Yes.”

“Let’s go find the Hokage and hand in the mission first.”

“How about we have a meal together?” Xihi Shinhong looked at the six people gathered behind her and suggested.

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze turned his head to look back and nodded without thinking.

“Ok.”

“I’ll have Kushina go to the barbecue Q and ask them to reserve a private room.”

“it is good.”

In the Hokage’s office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and looked at the two teams of Namikaze Minato and Yuhi Shinku who came with him. “I think you guys have heard the news about why I asked you to come back early this time, right?”

Namikaze Minato and Yuhi Shinku looked at each other, and then they both nodded at the same time.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, “Although you may know it.”

“But I’ll still tell you something.”

“The Sandaime Kazekage of the Hidden Wind Village has been missing for a long time.”

“Now they have selected the Fourth Kazekage.” At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, paused and continued: “The Fourth Kazekage is Rasa.”

“Because the Sandaime Kazekage disappeared for no apparent reason, and Rasa became the Fourth Kazekage directly, they need a war to win or eliminate certain voices within their ranks.”

“So Luo Sha, Chiyo and the others are guiding public opinion and blaming these things on us, Konoha. Now they are preparing for war.”

“Eh?!” Before Minato Namikaze and Yuhi Shinku responded, Uchiha Obito yelled angrily: “The Wind Village is too unreasonable!”

“It’s their Kazekage who’s missing, yet they’re blaming us, Konoha!”

Uchiha Obito said, muttering softly, “The Wind Village is truly born evil!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s hand holding the pipe paused. He didn’t expect to hear such words as “Innately Evil Wind Village” from the Uchiha who was called inherently evil by his teacher.

However, when he saw Uchiha Obito’s indignant look, he couldn’t help but smile.

It seems that the relationship between the Uchiha and the village is moving in a better direction.

He loved it.

It seems that the relationship between the Uchiha and the village will move towards peace under my leadership.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself and was also very happy.

He was happy in his heart, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he said, “You two teams don’t have to carry out missions during this period.”

“We need you on the front lines.”

As he said that, he looked at Yuuki Yuichi and the other two, thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Namikaze Minato and said, “Minato, do you think these three have the ability to become Chunin?”

“Eh?” Namikaze Minato obviously didn’t expect that after coming here to report the mission, he would actually ask himself such a question.

What’s the point of asking yourself this question when the war is about to begin?

Although he didn’t quite understand, Namikaze Minato still said honestly, “In fact, when they graduated, they were strong enough to form an independent team.”

“But their other abilities are not enough to be called Chunin.”

“Now, if we form a separate team, the three of them are already capable of doing the job.”

Minato Namikaze did not exaggerate his relationship with Yuichi Yuuki and the other three, nor did he belittle it out of the idea of ​​protecting them. He spoke the truth.

Hearing his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, “Is that so.”

As he said this, he looked at Yuuki Yuichi and the other two, his expression became serious, “The war is about to begin, so the Chunin Exam will not be held. I still know your strength.”

“Minato has led the team for two years. I believe you all know what you need to know.”

“In that case, from now on, the three of you are the Chunin of Konohagakure!”

“You can register downstairs later, and they will deliver the Chunin vests to your home.”

In wartime, keep things simple.

I still know this truth.

After hearing his words, Yuuki Yuichi and the other two looked at each other, and Uchiha Obito spoke first, “Great!”

“Great! From now on I’ll be a Chunin!”

Yuichi Yuuki and Kakashi Hatake thanked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Namikaze Minato seemed to be hesitant to speak, but at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again, “You are now Chunin, and it stands to reason that you should form a separate team.”

“But at this time, I will allow you not to form a separate team.”

“You four should just stay like this.”

“Minato Namikaze is the captain, and you three are the team members.”

“Yes.” Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile on his face.

The same was true for Yuuki Yuichi and the other two.

It’s best if we can stay together.

However, when walking out of the Hokage’s office, Yuichi Yuuki looked back.

He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen made this arrangement most likely because he wanted Namikaze Minato to protect himself, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Obito.

Yuichi Yuki could only say that he had underestimated him.

He cannot say that he is invincible in the ninja world with his current strength, but at least when he wants to escape, even Minato Namikaze may not be able to catch up with him.

The reason is simple: the Flying Thunder God Technique that he masters has a wider range of use than his.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is so plain and boring.
