Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 10 Oh no, I've become a guide for the enemy! (Please read on!)

"Captain, barring any unforeseen circumstances, those Konoha ninjas are in this area."

On the outskirts of the forest, about twenty Iwa ninjas gathered together. A young Iwa ninja spoke in a low voice.

Many of the Iwa ninjas looked rather disheveled, their faces covered in ash, clearly indicating that they had also been affected by last night's massive explosion.

However, they were lucky; they survived because they were chasing after Akai.

They were either patrolling outside and not inside the base, or they came from other places.

They were filled with anger. The actions of those Konoha ninjas were utterly humiliating, like making them push a millstone naked – a complete disgrace!

Putting aside the fact that they were sneaked to the rear, the fact that their camp was raided and they failed to hold it was enough to make them lose face.

Not to mention that those guys also detonated the camp's explosive tags, and even killed a special Jonin and a group of garrison ninjas!

This incident has certainly dampened their hopes for the future in Iwagakure; it's not exactly a positive outlook, but at the very least, it's utterly disheartening.

Whatever their motives, they absolutely had to kill these Konoha ninja!

"Now that we've found them, let's form a team and conduct a thorough investigation to find them!"

The leader, an Iwa ninja, spoke through gritted teeth; he hated these Konoha ninjas to the core.

However, just as they were about to take action, a colorful light suddenly appeared in the sky.

All the hidden rock dwellers looked up and saw a signal flare shooting into the sky, trailing a long plume of smoke!

"this"

The Iwagakure captain in charge of the team was clearly stunned when he saw the signal flare. Not only him, but the other Iwagakure ninjas also looked at each other in bewilderment.

They clearly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"Captain, now we..."

The young Iwa ninja who had spoken earlier asked cautiously, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way.

The color of that flare signifies support, and it's a very high-priority support.

"us."

The leader, an Iwa ninja, looked at the signal flare in the sky, then turned to look at the forest in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"Go and provide support first; something important has obviously happened there."

"And our reinforcements are coming too. Leave a small squad behind to provide cover, the rest of you come with me!"

"Yes, Captain!"

-

"Haori, they're gone?"

Inside the forest outside the cave, Yamashiro Aoba whispered to Hagoromo beside her with a strange expression.

Akai was also full of questions. He had already prepared to fight to the death, but he never expected this to happen.

"Yes, they left. It seems they ran into trouble."

Yuzhi nodded, but his expression wasn't as pleasant as one might expect.

He knew why Iwagakure had left, because his system had given him the answer the moment they left.

[A new side quest has been obtained]

1. Support Kakashi and Rin Nohara

2. Cooperate with Iwagakure to take down Kakashi's team.

[Task rewards unknown]

It's obvious that the signal flare was fired by Iwagakure, and unsurprisingly, Kakashi and his group were the ones who suffered!

Just seeing this task made Yuzhi feel like her head was about to explode.

He had to admit that his purpose in moving this way was indeed to encounter Minato Namikaze.

After all, he had so many pursuers behind him, and if he wasn't careful, he could just kick the bucket and live a life of leisure.

Only when they encounter someone like Minato Namikaze can they feel safer.

He also hoped that Minato Namikaze and Kakashi would find out about this, because it would be very helpful for him to gain reputation!

Haori really wants to improve.

But what he wanted to encounter was Minato Namikaze, not the current Kakashi squad.

But his luck seemed to be a bit bad; he just happened to be there!

"Let's go over there."

Taking a deep breath, even though he was frustrated, Yu Zhi had no choice but to accept the mission.

However, he also silently comforted himself, thinking that Minato Namikaze would come.

"Captain, why don't we take this opportunity to leave?"

Aoba was taken aback by these words, then spoke softly.

"The situation over there is unclear and very dangerous. Should we stick to the plan?"

It's alright, we were just following plan, we just arrived at the wrong time.

"Aoba, do you remember what I said was the main objective of this mission?"

As Haori walked outside, she asked Aoba.

"I remember, this was the mission to end the war!"

Although Akai didn't understand why Yuzhi wanted to go, he already admired her immensely.

Moreover, Yuri is the captain, so he will support whatever decision she makes!

"you mean"

Yamashiro Aoba was really smart; he understood immediately after just a little guidance.

"Iwagakure might have encountered Minato's Jonin team, which is why they sent out the signal flare?"

"That's right, Jonin Minato is the main force, and the rest of us are just assisting him."

Yuzhi nodded directly. After checking the surroundings, he took the lead and began to accelerate.

"Now that Iwagakure has even given up searching for us, the most likely explanation is that we've run into them."

After all, there is no doubt about Minato's strength as a Jonin; only a larger number of people can withstand him.

They are the main force and cannot afford to be harmed easily, so we must go and check on them no matter what.

Yuzhi's words seemed reasonable, and this incident made Kai and Aoba nod involuntarily.

Indeed, the only team that could command such a large-scale mobilization from Iwagakure is probably Minato Namikaze's team.

And that team is the key to this mission, so thinking about it, it seems they really have to go and check it out!

Unbeknownst to them, Kai and Aoba had already been imprinted with the mindset of Yuzhi.

Based on their previous cooperation in the Land of Whirlpools, and now that they've all entered the Land of Grass together, they already have immense faith in Hagoromo.

Moreover, Yuzhi's analysis was flawless, and more importantly, what Yuzhi did last night truly impressed them.

They are smart, capable, and classmates; how could they not be trustworthy?

"Understood, Captain!"

Akai was the first to give a thumbs up, his big white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.

"Let's go rescue Kakashi!"

"You'd better behave yourself; we need to be careful."

Aoba glared at Akai, but this only made Akai laugh twice.

Fortunately, Aoba got used to it, and apart from being easily excitable, Kai was fine in every other way.

"Then let's speed things up."

Seeing that the team had reached a consensus on their plan, Yuzhi couldn't help but nod in approval.

He then thought of Fugaku Uchiha, who even knew that the small team on a mission needed to be united.

Why was this pig-like guy so obsessed with the "way of balance" during such a crisis?

"Once we get back, we need to figure out how to deal with him!"

Yuzhi secretly hardened her heart, but just as she thought of Uchiha Fugaku, she thought of something else.

"Looking at the mission details, it's just about rescuing Kakashi and Rin Nohara. I imagine Obito Uchiha has already been eliminated."

However, we still need to be careful, because Madara Uchiha is nearby.

Thinking of Uchiha Madara, Yuzhi subconsciously pursed her lips. Even if that old man was on his last breath, he was still extremely terrifying.

Yuri is now considering whether, if he were also captured by Madara Uchiha, he should submit or try to remove Madara's oxygen tube.

"Haori."

Just as Haori was pondering, Aoba suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but speak up somewhat awkwardly.

However, his words almost caused Yuzhi to stumble.

"Do we mean we've brought a bunch of enemies with us?"

These words almost made Yuzhi lose his composure; he had only one thought in his mind.

Oh no, have I become a traitor?

As a newbie, I'm begging you to follow along! Following along now will determine everything about a book; neglecting a book too long can easily kill it.

Thank you all, Onz
