Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 21? (Please continue reading)

"Is this all true?"

Late at night, inside the Konoha camp.

After hearing the details of the mission, Jiraiya stared in disbelief at Minato Namikaze standing before him.

Seeing his disciple nod earnestly, he couldn't hold back for a moment.

That Uchiha Hagoromo is such a troublemaker!

This mission was a success, and it can be said to be a great success!

Especially with the return of the Yuri team and Kakashi's group by Minato, it's safe to say that Konoha has truly won.

Although, there were losses as well.

Apart from these two squads, the other squads that entered enemy territory together can be considered to have been wiped out.

But how could there be no losses in a war? And compared to Konoha's gains, these losses are really nothing!

However, the details of this operation were so outrageous, especially the extraordinary performance of Hagoromo and his squad, that even Jiraiya was speechless.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I know you're surprised, but I'm actually more surprised than you."

Minato Namikaze looked at Jiraiya, who seemed somewhat dazed, shook his head, and spoke with a smile.

"However, we have all underestimated Haori's abilities."

I've spoken with him, and I can say with certainty that he knew the purpose of our mission from the moment he received it.

"So, that's why he accelerated and launched a direct assault on a large supply point, and that supply point just happened to have a large number of explosive tags?"

Jiraiya rubbed his head and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded. He had already asked Guy and Aoba, and their answers were exactly the same.

Yuzhi only intended to launch a surprise attack on the stronghold in order to attract the attention of Iwagakure, but she did not expect that there would be so many explosive tags in that place.

If they hadn't been lucky, they would have been blown up there!

The impact of this massive explosion can be said to have truly accelerated the course of the war.

It blatantly tells all the Iwa ninja on the front lines that our territory has been infiltrated and that we can cause massive destruction at will!

While it cannot be denied that this explosion also brought bad luck to other teams, even Kakashi's team was affected.

But for those on the front lines, the impact of this event was entirely positive.

It greatly boosted the morale of the front lines, dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Iwagakure, and led to a great victory for Konoha!

"Although the flaws do not outweigh the merits, they may have taken my presence into account during their escape, and thus brought quite a few enemies to Kakashi's side."

Seeing Jiraiya still deep in thought, Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment before finally speaking simply and directly.

"But it cannot be denied that their actions also saved Kakashi and the others."

Furthermore, in the subsequent operation, they eliminated Gari and arrived in time to kill more than ten ninja guards stationed at the Kannabi Bridge, ultimately completing their mission.

"That guy, Kari, is dead too, and he killed so many people."

Jiraiya could understand Minato Namikaze's meaning, but at this moment, he was still reviewing everything Haori had done in his mind.

Jiraiya naturally knew about this guy, Kari, as this elite of Iwagakure had caused considerable casualties to Konoha.

He was actually killed by Yuzhi, who also took care of more than ten Iwa ninja stationed there.

It could even be said that without the haori, the mission to blow up the bridge wouldn't have gone so smoothly, which truly moved Jiraiya.

"It's perfectly normal for him to go see you."

Although he felt a pang of emotion, Jiraiya knew he had other matters to attend to, especially his disciple's words.

He looked up at the water gate, then smiled and continued.

"He's already guessed the details of the mission, so it's not a big deal if he encounters big trouble and wants to rely on you."

However, this conjecture doesn't need to be included in the report; just say that he accidentally encountered Kakashi while evading Iwagakure's pursuit.

"I understand, teacher." Minato Namikaze couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"You little rascal, you're trying to play tricks on me."

Jiraiya glared at his disciple with amusement, then laughed and scolded him.

"Alright, let's spread the word about the mission's achievements and make everyone happy."

Yuzhi is so amazing, she's done so much, we can't let her go unnoticed.

Uchiha are also ninjas of Konoha; our job is simply to handle matters on the battlefield.

As for other troublesome matters, let's leave them to the people who need them.

"Yes, teacher."

Minato Namikaze's smile grew even brighter. He had always known that his teacher, though sometimes seemed unreliable, was still a teacher.

But when it comes to serious matters, your teacher is still the most trustworthy person.

As the first rays of dawn touched the earth, in a camp in the Grass Country forest, Yuri sat up from her simple wooden bed.

Looking at the simple but clearly man-made environment around him, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Instantly, a feeling of relaxation filled his entire body.

"It's finally over."

Although it was only a few days, and he had to admit that it wasn't that dangerous for him during those days.

However, in such an environment where enemies could be encountered at any time, life was really not easy.

Moreover, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of yesterday's battle.

That kind of combat experience was indeed extremely enjoyable, and the feeling of having complete control was something he would never forget.

He now seemed to understand why Madara Uchiha's battles were performed with such artistry that they were breathtaking.

Putting aside Madara's living environment during the Warring States period, which honed his incredible taijutsu skills, the power of the Sharingan truly played a crucial role!

The power of the Sharingan is truly unimaginable; Madara Uchiha could dance among tens of thousands of people using only three tomoe.

Yuzhi had only raised her eyes to the three-tomoe level a few days ago, yet she could move freely among dozens of ninjas while fully activating those eyes.

Such power is truly unimaginable!

Yuzhi is now even more eager to see what kind of effect her eyes will achieve after she continues to improve them.

In addition, he also longed for the power of the kaleidoscope.

After all, in the future, the power of the kaleidoscope is the only way to have a basic ability to protect oneself.

"However, yesterday was still a bit risky."

Although she was very excited, Yuri remained relatively calm.

Recalling yesterday's battle, he was still sweating profusely.

Although he didn't have to worry about what the Iwa ninja would do to him, Minato Namikaze was genuinely fighting the Five-Tails.

Fortunately, Minato Namikaze managed to restrain them well, preventing the Five-Tails from launching a Tailed Beast Ball in their direction.

And he took them away before the Five-Tails had any ideas, otherwise he might have really kicked the bucket and lived a life of seclusion.

"We still need to be more careful in the future."

Yuzhi stood up. He felt refreshed after a good rest and didn't want to stay lying there any longer.

"Haori, you're awake?"

But just as he stood up, a voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"It's you guys, Rin, and Kakashi?"

Yuzhi turned her head and glanced at it, then smiled and nodded.

"Shouldn't you rest a bit more?"

Lin asked with some concern, while Kakashi nodded quietly to the side.

Yesterday's performance by Hagoromo was truly etched in his mind; his elegant, almost artistic fighting style was unforgettable.

Moreover, it was precisely because of Yuzhi's timely support and powerful intervention that this mission was able to be successfully completed.

"I feel great right now, and I don't want to stay in bed all the time."

Yuzhi wanted to say, "Why sleep so much in life? You'll sleep forever after you die," but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

After all, in this world, there's the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so one might not even have a long sleep after death.

"It would be nice to go out for a stroll, but you'd better be prepared, Haori."

After hearing Yuzhi's words, Lin thought for a moment before smiling and speaking.

"Now, everyone knows you."

Yuzhi stared at Rin for a moment, then paused.

"what?"
