In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

At a training ground near the edge of a forest, everyone had assembled.

The team is led by Jonin Hatake Sakumo, Jonin Uchiha Itsukushima, 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 was present, Hatake Sakumo began, "Everyone, please introduce your strengths and abilities."

"Uchiha Itsukushima, three-tomoe Sharingan, skilled in Fire Release swordsmanship and genjutsu."

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

The two Chunin Uchiha introduced themselves in the same way.

"Minato Namikaze is skilled in taijutsu and wind-style 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 without any support.

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

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

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

He had personally witnessed two special Jonin from the Fifty Strings Gang cutting off their own flesh to repay their loved ones; their methods were more ruthless than those of many veteran ninjas.

"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 item, almost impossible to find even in the entire Leaf Village!

The people present were all well-informed and had long heard of Isogen's heroic deeds at Konoha Hospital. As for combat prowess, Uchiha Itsukushima also had a deep understanding of it from his time in the police department.

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 magic pills Isogen took in the past year that made him so successful in so many areas?

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 Naruto included Yuuko in this mission that Yuuko's strength is at least enough to participate in this mission.

Uchiha Itsukushima looked slightly embarrassed.

In the dense, shady forest, several figures darted about at high speed.

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

"Stop, rest here for a while." Hatake Sakumo waved his hand, and everyone instantly went into a resting state.

Everyone sat cross-legged, recovering their depleted energy.

They all took off their water bags to drink water and eat ration pills.

The taste is a given.

Soldier pills were developed to quickly replenish the stamina of ninjas so that they could quickly recover their chakra and return to battle; taste and texture were not considered.

Fortunately, apart from the two commoners, everyone present came from wealthy families, and they probably 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 at (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 ration pills in his hand and decisively discarded them.

"Give me some too."

"Beg me."

"..."

Chew, chew, chew.

Sakumo Hatake's movements as he chewed beef jerky even exuded a sense of nonchalance.

Isogen glanced at it, not surprised.

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 Strings silently drifted away with the wind.

Wind Release: Wind Passes Without a Trace.

The principle is to attach chakra to every wisp of wind and spread it outwards from oneself. Within a five-kilometer radius, any living or dead thing will be modeled in Fifty Strings' brain through feedback.

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

The inspiration comes from Nagato's Rain Tiger Free Technique, which covers the entire Amegakure village. If raindrops can do it, there's no reason why other ninjutsu can't.

Wind is invisible, intangible, and elusive, 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 by its strength, it's probably a Chunin. Should we give chase?"

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

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.

With beef jerky available, who would still eat military rations?

"How far can your reconnaissance ninjutsu see?"

"It's five kilometers now."

Fifty strings answered truthfully.

Without considering defection, the team members should have the necessary trust, especially since their team was going to meet Yakushi Nonou.

Sakumo Hatake nodded slightly and said, "You may 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 Itsukushima, who had finished replenishing his energy, spoke up.

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

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

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

Jonin are qualified to participate in the election of 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 Itsukushima wouldn't have any negative impact; in fact, it would be perfectly reasonable.

No ninja village in the world is so extravagant as to use a Jonin with a bloodline limit as a firecracker.

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

Sakumo Hatake's disappearance just now made him think of something.

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

"A rogue ninja?!"

Uchiha Aoen suddenly looked up, 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 ordinary. Konoha's F4 later became increasingly wary of the Uchiha, but they did not understand that the Uchiha were essentially a clan of love.

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

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

Suddenly, the fiftieth string nerve twitched slightly.

Wind Release: Wind Passes Without Form captures a familiar chakra.
