Zhang Ye realized he had been badly tricked by Sakumo Hatake this time. Although he knew Sakumo Hatake meant well, it put Zhang Ye in a difficult position.

Despite accumulating enough battle merits and rising to the rank of Special Jonin, he could not escape death.

【Fearless】This mission requires going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. How can you kill the enemy and complete the mission if you stay in your base peacefully?

Moreover, Zhang Ye was quite tempted by the reward, a designated gold character card, which was very rare.

Keep in mind that Charizard and Arcanine are only silver-level cards, yet they already possess formidable combat power. If I were to obtain a gold-level character card, wouldn't I be on a path to godlike dominance?

But Sakumo Hatake's actions have created an awkward situation, as this place is unsuitable for combat.

Zhang Ye is almost crying her eyes out.

"I've already told you the backgrounds of everyone in our team, and you're still hiding it? Isn't that a bit unfair?" Masato Kusama said, dissatisfied.

"Alright!" Zhang Ye smiled helplessly, "If being a Hokage's personal disciple counts as background information!"

"The Hokage's personal disciple!!" Kusama Masato exclaimed in surprise, then looked Zhang Ye up and down. "When did the Hokage take on a disciple? How come I didn't know?"

"Just recently, I became the Hokage's disciple!" Zhang Ye said with a shrug.

"Damn, you're making it sound so easy. You should know that the Hokage hasn't taken on any disciples for a long time. Becoming the Hokage's disciple will definitely pave a smooth path for your future development!"

Then, he suddenly thought of something, and stared intently at Zhang Ye, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"Go and woo Kato Yuna for me!"

"What!?"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Daily Tasks of the Melee Merit Team

"What?!" Zhang Ye stared at Masato Kusama in shock.

What did he just say? I think I'm hallucinating. Did he just tell me to seduce Kato Yuna?

"You heard me right, I really did say you should date Kato Yuna."

A look of helplessness appeared on Masato Kusama's face.

Zhang Ye shook his head: "Why? I only just met her today. Although she's beautiful and I'm handsome, I don't like her to that extent yet!"

“You said she’s beautiful, and neither of you are married, so you can pursue her without any problem!” Masato Kusama retorted.

"reason!"

"Huh!?" Masato Kusama was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"Well, in the end, this whole thing was stirred up by the elders in our families. Our family and the Kato family are acquaintances, and my mother and her mother are best friends. They were the ones who arranged our marriage, and neither of our families had any objections."

"But I do have one. I've heard since I was little that I have a fiancée. I didn't know when I was young, I just thought fiancée was a term of endearment between friends, and I didn't pay much attention to it. But when I grew up and learned what fiancée meant, I felt disgusted. I don't want to be a puppet controlled by others. I want to be in charge of my own life, and I will decide for myself who my future wife is!"

Zhang Ye was speechless after hearing this. This was the advantage of a large family, no, the disadvantage. It didn't allow people to have the freedom to choose their partners, and the marriage was entirely arranged by the elders in the family.

Why am I suddenly so envious of him?

"Don't you think Kato Yuna is pretty?" Zhang Ye asked, puzzled.

You know, Kato Yuna is a total stunner, with a curvaceous figure and large breasts, she's every man's dream girl.

“It looks good, it looks really good, but so what? I’m a young man of the new generation, how can I let adults arrange my marriage? I advocate free love!” Kusama Masato’s face showed a hint of madness.

His expression darkened, and he continued, "If it weren't for this so-called marriage, I might have fallen for her, but I can't bring myself to like Kato Yuna at all. I've always treated her like my own younger sister!"

"Think about it, is it appropriate for me to go to my own sister's place?"

"They're not even related by blood!" Zhang Ye couldn't help but complain.

This is a classic case of getting a good deal and then selling it; if it were me, I would be overjoyed.

In his previous life, he was all alone, and there were no elders to arrange a marriage for him when he was a child.

I've always felt envious and jealous of those who had arranged marriages when I was little, as I watched them on TV.

"Can you promise me this?"

Masato Kusama looked at Zhang Ye expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

"I can't agree to your proposal. I already have someone I love, and the marriage your parents arranged for you might not be a bad thing. Many people dream of having this kind of marriage!"

"Alright, this is your temporary accommodation. Although it's temporary, we don't need to go to the battlefield, so you can treat this place as your home!"

Masato Kusama pointed to a tent of a suitable size in front of him and said to Zhang Ye.

"You should get some rest today. We're going on a mission tomorrow," Masato Kusama said casually.

"Task?"

Zhang Ye immediately perked up. Ever since he learned about the team's situation, he no longer expected to be able to do missions or go to the battlefield.

As luck would have it, I had a mission the very next day.

"Don't get too excited yet. You'll see how unlucky you are when you see the task you have to do tomorrow!" Masato Kusama's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"..."

Seeing his smile, Zhang Ye suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Silent all night.

Before dawn the next day, Zhang Ye was already up, a good habit he had developed during the 'dark' period.

Afterwards, Zhang Ye did some simple exercises to keep his muscles and bones from getting stiff.

After a while, the sounds of women talking came from outside his tent, mixed with a nonchalant male voice.

Without a doubt, these are the children of officials and the wealthy.

"Wow, you're up so early!"

Masato Kusama entered Zhang Ye's tent, greeted him, and then said, "We should set off now. Today is your first time here, so you should get used to the daily tasks of our mixed battle team!"

The phrase "meritorious service in a chaotic battle" is clearly a derogatory term, but when he said it, Zhang Ye felt as if he were hearing a compliment.

"Daily tasks? What exactly are they?" Zhang Ye asked, puzzled.

"You'll know when you get there!" Kusama Masato then led Zhang Ye out and said to Nakata Heizo, who was dressed in a Shinnin uniform, "Captain, I've brought him out. I'm going back to take a nap now. Call me if you need anything!"

After saying that, Masato Kusama left and headed towards his own tent.

Yuna and Keiko followed behind Nakata Heihaku. They seemed to be half asleep, but when they heard Kusama Masato say "back to sleep," they immediately perked up, said goodbye to Nakata Heihaku, and quickly left.

Nakata Heikaku looked Zhang Ye up and down, then smiled and said, "Let's go, let's set off!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The journey was smooth, and Nakata Heikaku led Zhang Ye to a laundry room, pointing to the room and saying...

"These are all your tasks for today. You can rest only when you're finished!" Nakata Heikaku yawned and added, "Come report back to me when you're done. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now!"

Nakata Heizo left without looking back.

Looking at the mountain of dirty and messy clothes inside, Zhang Ye couldn't help but twitch his lips. How could he, the number one person in the 'Yin' sect, do such a thing?

Since it was a task, he couldn't disobey, right? Zhang Ye obediently washed all the clothes in the laundry basket and hung them up.

Looking up at the dazzling sun on the stage, Zhang Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, a look of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

They immediately ran in one direction.

……

"Uncle Hatake, you tricked me!" Zhang Ye said, standing in front of Hatake Sakumo's table.

"Oh? How did I trick you?"

Sakumo Hatake looked at Zhang Ye with curiosity, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"What kind of team did you put me in? Do you even know what they call their team? The Mixed Battle Merit Team! I demand to be transferred out of this team!" Zhang Ye said angrily.

"Impossible!" Sakumo Hatake said firmly, "This is the team we unanimously decided to assign you to!"

"But I..."

Zhang Ye's face showed resentment. World War II only lasted two years in history, which was originally a lot of time, but in such a team, even encountering the enemy was a luxury.

"I know you have grievances. Although I won't transfer you, you can change them!"

Change...them!

Zhang Ye then smiled and said, "I understand!"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Do You Still Have Dreams?!

That night, Zhang Ye lay in bed, pondering how to change them, but after failing to come up with a solution, he could only go to sleep.

The next day, Zhang Ye arrived at their team's meeting room on time as usual.

But what I saw was an atmosphere that was completely out of place with war.

The room was filled with a lively and cheerful atmosphere, and the entire conference hall was decorated with various items.

Yun Jian Huizi squatted in front of an iron cage, reaching out to shake the rabbit inside, occasionally letting out a cheerful "giggle" laugh.

Masato Kusama held a book in his hand, put his legs on the table, ate a cookie while reading, and let out a laugh that only men could understand.

Kato Yuna sat next to Kusama Masato, staring intently at him and repeatedly saying, "Fight me! Fight me!" She was clearly challenging him to a duel.

However, Masato Kusama was oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on his reading!

However, the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed him; he was definitely anxious at that moment. When he saw Zhang Ye enter, he quickly gave a wink, signaling for Zhang Ye to save him from his predicament.

The most bizarre one was their captain, Nakata Heizuku. She was wearing a loose kimono, lying on a chair, fast asleep with her mouth open, and a trace of liquid could be seen at the corner of her mouth.

This is the squad he's currently in, a place where he's just accumulating battle merits!

A place where everyone is just loafing around and waiting to die!

Zhang Ye desperately wants to change the current situation here, but he doesn't know where to start.

The entire conference room was quiet, except for the clear laughter of Yun Jian Huizi and the murmured "invitation" of Kato Yuna.

Snapped! !

Suddenly, the notebook in Masato Kusama's hand fell to the ground, drawing everyone's attention to him.
