All three of them came from ninja clans. Even a small ninja clan like the Uzuki clan, which has survived from the Warring States period to the present day, must have some secrets to its heritage, so naturally, they need to spend time cultivating it.

Uchiha Gen, on the other hand, devoted his time primarily to learning the Uchiha-style swordsmanship and medical knowledge.

Although the daily pace is extremely fast, it is exceptionally fulfilling.

Time slipped by quietly for a month.

With Orochimaru as a master instructor, Uchiha Gen's improvement after a month of hellish training was greater than that of a whole semester in the past.

Most importantly, Orochimaru led them through fifteen D-rank missions during that month.

Even if the experience won't all go to you because the mission is carried out by a small team, the key is the high frequency.

Promotion to a higher rank is a natural consequence.

"finally!"

Outside the Hokage's office, Uchiha Gen was holding a small booklet as usual, but his attention was focused on the system.

This time, it was Sarutobi Enjun who went to the Hokage's office to submit the mission.

Clearly, the mission is now complete, and the experience points will be credited at this point.

Uchiha Gen had been eagerly anticipating this gacha pull.

Because every time you draw ten cards, a pity system is triggered, guaranteeing you the highest quality character card in the current prize pool.

Given his current stage, he will definitely release a green-quality character card.

It's hard to say who will be the last one to come out, but no matter how you look at it, it's definitely better than that white card of Haruno Sakura (the ninja academy student).

Should I draw now, or wait until I get back, wash my face, and try to accumulate some good karma before drawing?

Just as Uchiha Gen was still struggling with his decision, Sarutobi Enjun arrived with the mission reward.

"Source, here we go."

Before the team split up, Orochimaru suddenly spoke and threw a bell at Uchiha Gen.

"Orochimaru-sensei, this is...?"

"This is a small ninja tool to increase your resistance to genjutsu. It can also help you offset some of the shockwave's erosion when you're using the Rashomon contract. I've already taught you all the battlefield experience I needed to teach you. How effective it will be on the battlefield in the future depends on your own fate. The theoretical instruction time afterward will be changed to genjutsu combat tests. Each team will take turns sparring with two teammates until you can dispel genjutsu on your own within one second and can stably cast ninjutsu even when Rinne interferes with your chakra."

understood.

The teaching schedule has been updated; new courses have started.

"By the way, which book on medical ninjutsu are you on?"

"I just finished reading them yesterday. I originally planned to review and solidify them for a while before telling you about them, and also to copy down those rare books."

The medical ninjutsu books that Tsunade gave out, apart from a few rare books from the Senju clan, were all in triplicate, with one copy for each member of the team.

Because Uchiha Gen was the fastest at reading books, those few rare books are now with him.

"I've asked Jiraiya to take charge of the training for the next three days. Now that you've finished reading those books on medical ninjutsu, go find Tsunade to learn about live medical experiments after you've completed Jiraiya's special training."

A peace delegation from Kumogakure will be arriving tomorrow. The Third Hokage has assigned Elder Mitomon and me to receive them, so I won't have time to take you with me for the time being.

The peace delegation from Kumogakure?

Uchiha Gen's heart skipped a beat.

In the original timeline, were peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure ever successful?

It seems like there really isn't one, right?

The first peace talks with Kumogakure were met with internal strife, which led to the death of the Second Hokage. As a result, the Hokage position had to be passed on to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was the best of the worst.

The subsequent negotiations...

Hmm, it seems like the other side wasn't really there for negotiations, but just using this opportunity to poach people.

At this point in time...

Uchiha Gen recalled the infamous Blood Red Hot Chili Pepper from the Ninja Academy, who was a year younger than him and had crushed most of the boys in his grade, as well as the blond-haired fifth-grade champion.

The timing seems to match up perfectly. Could this be the one?

"I understand, Orochimaru-sensei. But do you really think Kumogakure will negotiate with us at this time?"

Gen Uchiha looked into Orochimaru's eyes and feigned curiosity.

"I'm not sure either. They're fighting against Iwagakure while they're fighting us, so they're under a lot of pressure. Even if the peace talks don't go through, they'll definitely hope that the intensity of the fighting can be temporarily reduced because of the peace talks."

However, the greatest pressure is on us. Hanzo of the Land of Rain has declared war on multiple major powers at the same time, muddying the waters. In addition, we have to fight against the main forces of the Wind and Lightning powers from two directions at the same time. Given the Third Hokage's personality, he will definitely do his best to promote the success of peace talks between the two countries.

Even if peace talks fail, Sarutobi-sensei wouldn't mind temporarily reducing the intensity of the conflict on the front lines.

Otherwise, if the war continues like this, Konoha will inevitably run out of manpower. Not only will your graduating class of ninjas be sent to the battlefield, but even the senior ninja academy students have been told by elders that they could graduate early to replenish the ranks.”

Orochimaru's meaning is very clear.

Given the current situation in Konoha and the Third Hokage's personality, Konoha will take the Kumogakure's peace talks seriously, regardless of their sincerity, and will do its utmost to promote peace between the two countries.

This is not something that Orochimaru, a Konoha Jonin in charge of receiving guests, can decide. Even though he can now be considered the face of Konoha's younger generation of ninjas, the power in the village lies with a few Konoha high-ranking officials who are in their prime.

"I see. But perhaps because the village suffered too many losses during the negotiations with Kumogakure during the First Shinobi World War, I still have a bad feeling."

"Alright, Gen, what's there to worry about? This is a negotiation in our village. What trouble can those barbarians from Kumogakure cause? My old man may be incompetent, but he's not useless either. Let's go. Since Orochimaru-sensei is busy for the next few days, shouldn't we have a good get-together tonight? It's on me. It's Akimichi clan's yakiniku Q. Order whatever you want tonight!"

Sarutobi Enjun reached out and put his arm around Uchiha Gen's neck, patting his chest with the other hand, and said with a heroic air.

Dude, what we're worried about is your dad, that good-for-nothing!

Forget it, we'll see when the time comes. If we have the ability to intervene, we will; if we can't, that's something for the big shots to worry about.

Uchiha Gen only hoped that the outcome of this matter wouldn't be altered by the butterfly effect caused by his time travel.
