I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 125 [S-Rank Mission: Support the Front Lines]!

In the following days.

Nara Rangsei has been steadily advancing its numerous research projects.

With the combined efforts of Yakushi Nonou and Hakura day and night, his [Wisdom] attribute improved at nearly double the rate it had before.

However, he never found the rich aroma of the fermented rice wine and fat sheep from that night again.

Nara Rinka could roughly deduce that the fat sheep was deliberately avoiding him.

however……

You took a bite and ran away, Tsunade-hime!

Nara Rinka made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely get revenge for the "mouth" he had been given last night.

That morning.

Nara Rinka was planning to give Yakushi Kabuto some pointers on his [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] training as usual before going to study Yotsumura's Scorching Release technique.

A slightly familiar, jet-black crow flew into the Kikyo Orphanage, circling around him and cawing incessantly.

"Well, it seems the days of vacation are over."

Nara Rinka raised his arm and took the crow that Uchiha Shisui had kept.

As expected, a small scroll containing a message was found between the crow's legs, and the content of the message was still very concise.

"Hokage-sama, a mission is being summoned!"

After tidying up, Nara Rinka left Kikyo Castle and arrived in Konoha Village.

But this time, he was the last one to arrive.

"Is everyone here?"

Nara Rinka sat on the back of the [Shadow Creature] and looked at Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Rei, and Shizune, who were also fully prepared for battle.

"Then let's set off together!"

"Shisui, what's the mission this time?"

"Um...actually, I don't know the specifics of the mission yet."

Uchiha Shisui said somewhat hesitantly.

"I only received a temporary notice from the Third Generation Lord."

"The specific details of the mission still need to be obtained and confirmed by the captain at the Hokage's office."

"This is so troublesome..."

Nara Rinka landed on the [Shadow Creature] and stood next to several team members.

"Shisui, didn't I entrust you with the heavy responsibility of taking on the mission before?"

"You are so lazy."

"I'm so sorry, Captain!"

Uchiha Shisui, the honest man, pressed his hands tightly against the seams of his pants and gave a deep, solid 90-degree bow.

"I'll definitely be more careful next time!"

Hinata Rei, with his Byakugan eyes wide open, coldly observed everything unfolding.

She didn't say anything, but her rolled-up eyes seemed to say it all.

"Captain, Shisui-kun, let's stop worrying about who should take on the mission."

Silent stepped forward to smooth things over.

"The Third Hokage has summoned us urgently; he must have an important mission for us. Let's head to the Hokage Building immediately!"

The four-person team made their way to the Hokage Building with practiced ease.

Having received a subtle reminder earlier, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't waste any more words this time. He directly took out a mission scroll and handed it to Nara Rinka... and Uchiha Shisui, who was standing next to him.

"Um?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Shisui, who had taken the initiative to accept the mission, and then at Nara Rankei, who was doing nothing, and could only sigh in his heart, "Young people don't follow traditional rules."

"Well, because of the special nature of your team, this mission scroll does not record the detailed mission content."

"We'll confirm the specific mission requirements with Orochimaru when you get to the front lines."

"Your mission this time is to support the front lines!"

A new mission message popped up on Nara Rinka's panel.

[An S-rank ninja quest has been detected!]

[S-Rank Mission: Support the Front Lines]

[Mission Objective: Travel to the Land of Grass and provide support to the Konoha ninja stationed on the border of the Land of Grass in their fight against the Iwagakure forces.]

[Mission Reward: One S-Rank Ninja Scroll]

This is the first time I've received an S-rank mission from this village!

Nara's heart stirred slightly as he looked at the osmanthus tree.

"I wonder if the village's S-rank scroll is different from the clan's S-rank scroll..."

The thought had barely formed in his mind when another notification popped up on the panel.

This is a long-term faction quest!

[During this mission, other faction-related quests will not be available!]

"Hmm? This is..."

After bidding farewell to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Nara Rinkei led the other three members of his team out of the Hokage's office.

Having gained experience from the previous mission to the front lines.

After leaving the Hokage Building.

Nara Rinka created a shadow creature that carried the four-person team out of Konoha.

During flight.

Nara Ranka silently summoned the panel to check the task prompt from before.

Accepting the S-rank mission "Support the Frontline" will not affect the triggering and acceptance of other missions.

"This seems to have happened before... during the S-rank mission, 'The Defense of Kikyo Castle'!"

"I remember during that S-rank mission, when we fought the Sand Village's puppet forces, the mission wouldn't even trigger."

"Several new combat missions were triggered only after the main mission ended."

"This kind of faction-based commissioned mission...that's a new kind of mission!"

"I wonder what kind of mission I'll get next..."

Nara Rinka regained his senses and, controlling the [Shadow Creature], sped towards the battlefield of the Land of Grass.

Departed in the morning, arrived in the afternoon.

The Nara Lan Gui squad once again arrived at the Konoha ninja camp located on the border of the Land of Fire.

[Shadow Creatures] Lurk in the shadows.

The Nara Lan Gui squad entered the camp in an orderly fashion and arrived at the main tent in the very center.

Several days have passed since we last met.

There were almost no changes in the main business accounts.

"Nara-kun, you've arrived."

Orochimaru was not at all surprised by the arrival of Nara Rinka and his group, clearly having received prior notice from the village.

Nara Rinkazu looked at Orochimaru sitting in the main seat of the tent, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the request Tsunade had made earlier flashed through his mind.

"Given the current situation on the front lines, demanding an explanation from Orochimaru... should be postponed for now."

After some polite greetings, Nara Rangsuke got straight to the point.

"Lord Orochimaru, when the Hokage sent us to the front lines, he did not give us any specific mission details."

"Do we need to carry out a mission now? If not, let's go and rest first. The journey has been tiring and exhausting."

rest……

Orochimaru licked his lips, his hoarse voice echoing in the tent.

"Nara-kun, war gives people no chance to breathe."

Nara Rinka, unwilling to waste any more words with Orochimaru, raised his elbow to strike his teammate.

"Still water".

"oh oh!"

Uchiha Shisui belatedly stepped forward and bowed slightly to Orochimaru, appearing somewhat reserved.

"Lord Orochimaru, what is our team's mission?"

"It's been so many years since I've seen such a polite and restrained Uchiha..."

Orochimaru's gaze was fixed on Uchiha Shisui's young face, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Unfortunately, his target was the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

The Uchiha were nothing but a group of losers who fell before the God of Shinobi!

"This is your mission: to go to the heart of the Land of Grass, attack and destroy the supply nodes set up by the Iwagakure ninja there."

Orochimaru took a scroll from a nearby table and tossed it to Uchiha Shisui.

"Do not linger in battle, finish the fight quickly, focus on destruction, killing is not your mission."

"knew!"

Uchiha Shisui nodded respectfully and walked out of the tent with his other companions, quickly arriving at the spot where they had just landed.

The team members checked the mission details together.

A task prompt immediately popped up on Nara Lan Gui's panel.

[A Rank B ninja quest has been detected!]

[Rank B Mission: Running Out of Food]

[Mission Objective: Destroy a supply depot of Iwagakure located within the Land of Grass.]

[Mission Reward: One Rank B Ninja Scroll]

"A new quest has been triggered! The battlefield is definitely the best place to trigger quests..."

Nara Rinka shifted his attention from the panel to his team members, and the [Shadow Creature] emerged from the shadows.

Who has the map of the Land of Grass now?

Hinata Rei replied briefly, "Me."

"That's fine too, your eye rolls are the best detection tool."

Nara Rinka signaled several team members to board the [Shadow Creature], and the Shadow Eagle soared into the sky.

"Hyuga, show me the way."

Hyuga Rei took out a scroll of the topographical map of the Land of Grass, sat down next to Nara Rinka, and used his Byakugan to scan the environment below. He quickly found the location of the B-rank mission issued by Orochimaru.

"Captain, over here."

With Hinata Rei's assistance, the Nara Rinka team quickly located the exact location.

This is a secluded valley located within the Land of Grass. A rock-built warehouse stands in the valley, and a few ninjas wearing Iwagakure headbands are scattered around the warehouse.

Nara Rinka manipulated the [Shadow Creature] and slowly descended onto the nearby mountain peak without alerting any of the ninjas in the valley.

The group looked down at the rock warehouse below.

Nara Ranka suddenly spoke up: "Hyuga!"

Understanding immediately, Hyuga Rei activated his Byakugan, looked down, and accurately reported the location of each ninja.

"A total of twelve ninjas, with chakra levels roughly at the genin level, and the one with the most chakra only at the level of a regular chunin. They are respectively at..."

After Ryūki Ryū quickly finished reporting.

Nara Rinka then looked at Uchiha Shisui beside her.

"Still water, move."

"yes!"

Uchiha Shisui leaped from the mountaintop and landed at the bottom of the valley.

His landing quickly drew the attention of the Iwagakure ninja guarding the area.

"Alarm! Someone's coming!"

"Wearing a Konoha headband, he's a Konoha ninja!"

"He's alone, everyone attack him together!"

A crimson glint flashed in Uchiha Shisui's eyes as his three-tomoe Sharingan instantly activated. His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, and clones raced out from around him.

"When did I become alone...? Where's the captain?!"

Using this special "Phantom Body Flicker Technique", Uchiha Shisui perceived his surroundings and discovered that he was indeed the only one who had landed in the valley.

However, the battle situation was urgent, and Uchiha Shisui could not dwell on his captain's shameful behavior. He drew his ninja sword and engaged in battle with more than ten Iwagakure ninjas.

Faced with these Iwagakure ninjas whose average strength was low.

Uchiha Shisui's "Phantom Body Flicker Technique" is an excellent technique for mowing down enemies.

In no time at all.

A series of screams rang out.

Many Uchiha Shisuis returned to one.

Meanwhile, the Iwagakure ninja guarding the warehouse had been completely wiped out.

"Shisui, quickly set another fire."

The urging voices of Nara Langui came from the sky.

"Ideally, a high-powered fire jutsu would burn this stone house to the ground!"

Uchiha Shisui secretly grumbled to himself, but his hand seals did not slow down at all, and fire-type chakra accumulated and surged within his body.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Update is late.
