He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

Chapter 35 The Wind Passes Without a Trace, Uchiha's Love

A training ground on the edge of a forest, where the fishy thoughts were finally finished.

The team is led by Jonin Hatake Sakumo, Jonin Uchiha Takeshima, Special Jonin Uchiha Aoen, Chunin Namikaze Minato, two other Uchiha members, and Isogen Yuuka, who has three and a half years left before graduating from the Ninja Academy.

Once everyone had arrived, Hatake Sakumo began, "Please introduce your strengths and abilities."

"Uchiha Takeshima, three-tomoe Sharingan, skilled in Fire Release sword techniques and genjutsu."

"Uchiha Aoen is skilled in Fire Release and Genjutsu."

The two Chunin Uchiha were introduced in the same way as him.

"Minato Namikaze is skilled in taijutsu and wind release techniques."

Minato Namikaze is not yet at his full potential; being a Chunin for one year already demonstrates his potential.

His reason for joining the team was simple: one of his teammates was inheriting a family business, another was injured and hospitalized, leaving him as the only one with nothing to do.

Hatake Sakumo nodded slightly, having already made up his mind, and then looked at Gojūgen Yogo.

"Wu Xuexian Yuge, a medical ninja, is skilled in taijutsu, wind release, and earth release, and is proficient in the use of ninja tools."

After listening to Isogen's self-introduction, Sakumo Hatake's lips twitched slightly.

He had personally witnessed Fifty Strings gang of two Root special Jonin cutting off their own flesh to repay their debts; their methods were more ruthless than those of many veteran ninjas.

"In addition, I also know a little reconnaissance ninjutsu."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes lit up.

A combination of medical ninja, reconnaissance ninja, and combat ninja?

This is a rare find even in the entire Leaf Village!

The people present were all well-informed and had long heard of Isogen's feat at Konoha Hospital. Uchiha Itsuka, who was in the police department, also had a deep understanding of his combat prowess.

Minato Namikaze's eyes widened slightly as he looked at this 'younger brother' who was two years younger than him, and he was quite shocked.

Just a year ago, Isogen was just an unknown ordinary ninja academy student. Who can tell him what kind of magic pills Isogen has taken in the past year that has enabled him to blossom in so many ways?

He had no doubt about his proficiency with the fifty strings.

Although they didn't fight, it's easy to infer from the fact that Isogen was included in this mission in Naruto that Isogen Yuuka's strength is at least enough to participate in this mission.

Uchiha Takeshima looked slightly embarrassed.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Several figures darted swiftly through the dense, shady forest.

After departing from Konoha, the group rushed to the location provided by the intelligence.

"Stop, rest here for a while." Hatake Sakumo waved his hand, and the resting group entered a resting state.

He sat on his knees, sucking on the fishy smell, recovering his depleted strength.

They all took off their water bags to drink water and eat military rations.

The taste is a given.

The purpose of the soldier pills was to quickly replenish the stamina of ninjas so that they could quickly recover their chakra and get back into battle; taste and texture were not taken into consideration.

Fortunately, apart from the two commoners, everyone present came from wealthy families, and they had both military supplies and provisions.

These are not problems for ninjas. A ninja's ninja is someone who endures. Even Minato Namikaze, who had only graduated a year ago, was already used to it.

Isogen took out the scroll prepared by Hinata Mizuki, and from it took out a bag of beef jerky and milk.

Chew, chew, chew.

Stare (each)

Minato Namikaze glanced at the soldier's rations in his hand and instantly found them tasteless.

Although that's how it's supposed to taste.

"or."

"Give me some."

Chew, chew, chew.

Sakumo Hatake glanced at the soldier's rations in his hand and decisively threw them away.

"Give me some too."

"beg me."

"..."

Chew, chew, chew.

Sakumo Hatake's chewing of beef jerky even exuded a sense of nonchalance.

Isogen glanced at it, unsurprised.

To those unfamiliar with White Fang, this ninja, who embodies some characteristics of a samurai, must be an extremely traditional person. However, Isogen knows that Kakashi's Thousand Years of Death technique, so powerful that it terrifies countless people and is even widely known in another world, was learned from this 'traditional' ninja.

The beef jerky prepared by Hyuga Mizuki was quite delicious and extremely high in calories, which quickly warmed up the energy that the group had used up during their high-intensity journey.

The group seemed to be on a spring outing, and it would have been even more fitting to bring out two tents at this moment.

Isogen glanced at the storage scroll.

The Plus version tent that Hinata Mizuki prepared lay quietly inside.

Like a spring breeze overnight, the chakra of the Fifty Gates silently drifted away with the wind.

Wind Release: Wind Passes Without a Trace.

The principle is to attach chakra to each wisp of wind and spread it outwards from itself. Within a five-kilometer radius, any living or dead thing will be fed back into the Fifty Strings brain to construct a model.

It is a reconnaissance ninjutsu developed based on existing conditions after the Yin-Yang attributes of the Fifty Strings were enhanced.

The inspiration comes from the Rain Tiger Free Technique of the future Nagato Emblem Village. If raindrops can do it, there's no reason why other escape techniques can't.

The wind is invisible and intangible, and difficult to grasp, but as long as you add your own created wind to mix it in and then let it be carried away, this reconnaissance ninjutsu is complete.

"There's a moving chakra signal three kilometers to the southeast. Judging from its strength, it should be a Chunin. Should we give chase?"

Chakra reflects, to some extent, the power level of its owner.

At lower levels, players with low chakra levels can still win through skillful maneuvering, but once they reach a certain level, they automatically exit the stage.

Sakumo Hatake chewed on the beef jerky, a strange look flashing across his eyes.

Who would eat military rations when there's beef jerky available?

"How far can your reconnaissance ninjutsu see?"

"It's five kilometers now."

Fifty strings answered truthfully.

Without considering the possibility of defection, the trust between team members must be maintained, especially since their team is going to meet Yakushi Nonou.

Sakumo Hatake nodded slightly and said, "You should continue to rest."

After saying that, his figure disappeared instantly, about three minutes later.

"They are two wandering ninjas."

The fate of those two wandering ninjas was obvious.

Just then, Uchiha Genjima, who had finished replenishing his energy, spoke up.

"Lord White Fang, besides picking up that intelligence agent, do we have any other missions this time?"

From a subordinate's perspective, Uchiha Genji's question was offensive, but he was a Jonin.

Unlike the Jonin in "Naruto: The Legend of the Eyeballs" that Ishigaki watched in his previous life, who were killed off in various ways, every Jonin in the real ninja world is a pillar and backbone of their village.

Jonin are qualified to participate in the voting for Hokage. Reaching this level means truly standing at the top of the village's power structure, transforming from a pawn who has to risk his life into an exploiter.

Asking this question as Uchiha Genjiro has no impact; in fact, it's perfectly reasonable.

No ninja village in the world is so extravagant as to use blood-sucking Jonin as firecrackers.

The future Blood Mist Village and Sunagakure Village led by Rasa are not included.

Sakumo Hatake's recent disappearance sparked his thoughts.

Hatake Sakumo looked around, no longer concealing his intentions, and said in a deep voice, "Now I'm lifting the restrictions on you. According to intelligence, the reason the spies were exposed this time was because of a rogue ninja."

"A rogue ninja?!"

Uchiha Aoen suddenly raised his head, his Sharingan faintly appearing.

The fierce aura startled Minato Namikaze.

'Although everyone says the Uchiha are arrogant, their love for the village is no less than anyone else's. Once I have enough power, I will definitely help the village and the Uchiha resolve this conflict.'

He secretly thought.

Isogen's reaction to them was unusual, and the Konoha F4 became increasingly wary of the Uchiha, yet they failed to understand that the Uchiha were essentially a clan of love.

Their hostility was never directed at Konoha itself, but rather at the fact that they, as the founders of Konoha, not only failed to receive the status they deserved but were also regarded as a scourge.

Creating love requires unwavering perseverance, but destroying it takes only a moment.

Suddenly, the nerve in the fiftieth string twitched slightly.

Wind Release: Wind Passes Without a Trace - a familiar chakra was captured.

Chapter 36 I Prefer to Bully the Weak (Please Read and Add to Favorites)

On the other side of the forest, a thrilling and unique ultra-long-distance running race is in full swing.

If I catch up, I'll give you my life.

Hiashi Hyuga and his group fled in disarray, with blood seeping from multiple wounds on their bodies, but their faces were only slightly disheveled.

Behind them, at a distance, shadowy figures kept appearing in the treetops, their eyes gleaming with wolfish greed.

"We've entered the Land of Fire. Hurry up, and remember, don't hurt the Byakugan!"

"Hehe, no need for your lecture. Just roll your eyes. Since Konoha is willing to let such a treasure out, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"Eye roll, hehe."

His lewd tone startled Hiashi Hyuga, who was running wildly, and he almost fell off the tree branch.

"This can't go on."

With over a dozen shuriken marks left on his vest, Yagyu Aoki gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute.

"Hisashi, you must leave!"

The other two Hyuga ninjas remained expressionless; they were already prepared to sacrifice themselves.

Hiashi Hyuga's face darkened: "I can't abandon him..."

"Listen!" Yagyu Seijo took a deep breath: "You are from the main family, and you must not let the enemy fall into your hands."

Their group was originally a standard Jonin leading the team plus three students. Now, the Jonin leading the team is risking his life to cover their retreat in order to protect the Byakugan, but the pursuers are still coming in droves.

The Byakugan is an extremely important strategic resource, and its value to the ninja village even exceeds that of a single Sharingan.

If Hiashi Hyuga were to perish here and be captured by the enemy, or even worse, be taken back alive, the main branch of the Hyuga clan would not be able to recover, and he would be destined to live a miserable life as a sex slave.

Then they would be the sinners of the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

Hiashi Hyuga clenched his fists, his expression filled with grief and indignation: "Damn it, if it weren't for those damned Iwa ninja!"
