Nakata Hei-tsuru's expression dimmed slightly. After all, she had been the captain for many years and had developed feelings for the team, but now she was leaving, leaving her with a mix of emotions.

“Captain!” Zhang Ye said.

"Stop, I'm not the captain anymore, you are. Heh heh..." Nakata Heizuku said with a wry smile.

"Sister Crane, are you leaving us?"

With tears in her eyes, Yun Jian Huizi looked at Nakata Heihe and hugged his arm tightly. Her voice trembled with sobs as she said, "Heihe-neechan, please don't leave. Huizi will miss you!"

"Yuna will miss you too!" Kato Yuna made her presence known once again.

Seeing the rich expressions on the faces of the three women, Zhang Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Nakata Heizuku asked, frowning.

"I'm laughing at how naive you are. When did I ever say I wanted to be the captain of this team? You just unilaterally said that you lost and would give me the captaincy, but I never said that!"

Zhang Ye smiled as he looked at Nakata Heizo, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. His captain was just too adorable.

"Do you look down on our squad leader's position?"

"Of course not, I really want to be the captain, but... this team doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you!" Zhang Ye said with a faint smile.

"So you mean..." Nakata Heikaku was a little confused by Zhang Ye.

"What I mean is, you're still the captain, but our team's attitude needs to change. We can't be like a retirement army anymore, doing nothing every day. Starting tomorrow, our team is determined to be the strongest team!" Zhang Ye's eyes gleamed as he said, "So, Captain, lead us to the pinnacle of life!"

"Um!?"

"No, lead us to become the strongest Konoha team, so that all enemies will be terrified at the mere mention of our name!" Zhang Ye said sincerely.

“You…” Nakata Heizo was stunned. She never expected Zhang Ye to say that.

Masato Kusama, who was standing nearby, also laughed and said, "That's right, Captain, we need your leadership!"

"Sister Crane, please don't leave us, okay?" Yun Jian Huizi looked at Nakata Heihaku, who was still hesitating, with hopeful eyes.

"Yuna doesn't want the captain to leave either!"

"you……"

Nakata Heikaku looked at Zhang Ye and the other three people surrounding him, and a tear involuntarily rolled down his cheek.

He casually wiped away his tears.

"Alright, since you've all said so, I agree! I will make our team a force that Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, will tremble at the mere mention of their name!"

Chapter 74 Start the Mission

"I want to go to the front lines!"

"you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure!"

In the general operations conference room, Zhang Ye and Hatake Sakumo were talking.

Sakumo Hatake had a furrowed brow and was supporting his chin with both hands, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhang Ye stood in front of him, silently staring at his reply.

Time passed slowly, but Hatake Sakumo still hadn't given a clear answer.

"Uncle Shuomao, can you give me a definite answer?" Zhang Ye asked anxiously, growing impatient.

Sakumo Hatake raised his head, his sharp eyes fixed on Zhang Ye, and slowly said, "I know you want to do your part for Konoha as soon as possible, but isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Anxious?! Yes, I'm very anxious. I'm really worried about my nickname right now. If I don't complete the task, I'll die, I'll die!!

"Uncle Shuomao, do you remember what we said? Didn't you already agree? Why are you going back on your word now!" Zhang Ye said in an unfriendly tone.

A bead of cold sweat dripped down Hatake Sakumo's forehead. He hadn't wanted this either; he had originally thought that Zhang Ye would have no chance of persuading those people.

But the outcome completely exceeded his expectations; not a single one of them objected, they all agreed.

Sakumo Hatake sighed, looking at Zhang Ye with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said, "Alright, since you've all agreed, I won't say anything more!"

"But you must remember to protect yourself on the battlefield. Don't do anything unnecessary for the sake of merit, understand?"

Upon seeing that Hatake Sakumo had agreed, Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I understand. It's settled then, Uncle Sakumo, we're going to the front lines!"

After saying that, Zhang Ye left the general operations conference room quickly without waiting for Hatake Sakumo's reply.

Watching Zhang Ye's departing figure, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but chuckle bitterly, then took out a scroll and began writing on it.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned a ninja dog, handed it the scroll, and whispered a few words in its ear.

boom! !

The ninja dog then vanished from the main command center.

……

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

The Konoha base was already filled with ninjas, many of whom had just been transferred from Konoha the day before to support the troops fighting on the front lines.

The venue was packed with them, all discussing the battle between Jiraiya, his two companions, and Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure.

The war has reached its most difficult moment in the last two days. The others in Amegakure are not difficult to deal with, but the most difficult one is Hanzo, who is known as a demigod.

His strength is extraordinary, and his blood contains toxins. He also possesses a highly venomous summoning beast, the Salamander!

"Captain, can we slow down? It's only this early! I'd still be sleeping at this hour!"

Masato Kusama's voice immediately resounded throughout the entire venue, and everyone stopped talking and looked over.

Nakata Heizuku grabbed Kusama Masato's ear and led him toward the venue. Behind her followed Yuna, who was holding a white rabbit, and Kato Yuna, who looked like she hadn't woken up yet.

Zhang Ye, on the other hand, stood three meters away from them to show that he did not recognize the four of them.

"How could it be them?" a ninja said with a frown. Judging from his clothes, he was a Chunin, and his clan crest was on the back of his uniform.

Uchiha Clan Crest!

But when he saw Zhang Ye not far behind Nakata Heikaku, his expression changed, and he stared at Zhang Ye with icy eyes.

How could it be him?

Zhang Ye felt a strong killing intent lock onto him, and following this feeling, he slashed forward, meeting the ninja's eyes.

Uchiha ninjas! What are they doing here?

Zhang Ye was puzzled, thinking that many powerful clans would not send their own ninjas to participate in the battle here.

They have their own dedicated troops, which is why they wouldn't send their own sons to such a mixed and unrefined force.

"It's this team! How despicable!"

"If it weren't for them, I would have become a Jonin long ago. MLG***, if I ever run into you guys on the battlefield, I'll teach you a lesson in no time!"

Not only did the Chunin and Genin look at them coldly, but even many Jonin looked at them with a hint of hatred.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye couldn't bear to open his True Sight Eye, because all he saw after opening it was a sea of ​​yellow!

"Sigh..." Zhang Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Although the voice was very low, it was perfectly clear to the Jonin Nakata Heizuku.

boom!

Nakata Heikaku walked up to Zhang Ye and punched him on the forehead, coldly shouting, "What, you think you're disgracing our team? If you're going to be disgraced, then don't come here! I don't care about you!"

"Captain, I... I didn't say anything!" Zhang Ye looked helplessly at Nakata Heizo, who was furious.

At that moment, Hatake Sakumo also stepped onto the high platform. He looked down at the densely packed ninja below and pressed his hands down.

The previously noisy ninjas immediately quieted down, and the entire venue became silent.

"Everyone knows why we're here. We're currently facing a tough battle on the front lines and urgently need a large number of fresh troops to join us so that we can turn the tide of the war!"

"I, Hatake Sakumo, am not good at saying fancy words, but I only have one sentence."

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die; the firelight will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout."

"Konoha...will be victorious!"

When Sakumo Hatake uttered the word "victory" again, his tone was filled with determination.

"Konoha!"

"Victory is certain!!"

"Konoha!"

"Victory is certain!!"

……

The entire venue erupted in cheers, and even Zhang Ye was ignited with passion.

The battlefield is where soldiers belong!

"Now I'll tell you about the battlefields assigned to each squad!"

"First squad, first division, you will proceed to the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind to intercept the Sand Ninja forces!"

"First team, second squad..."

"..."

"Third Squad, First Division, you will proceed to the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth to intercept the Iwa ninja forces!"

Everyone stared at Hatake Sakumo in shock upon hearing his command, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

It's important to know that Zhang Ye's team never goes to the battlefield themselves. Their missions are usually logistical, and only simple logistical ones at that, not the kind that involve leaving the base.

This time, they're actually being sent to the battlefield.

Some people who knew the truth about Zhang Ye's team showed expressions of shock.

If a group of guys with powerful connections were to go to the battlefield, those old guys might cause some bloodshed. It seems like Sakumo Hatake doesn't want to be involved anymore.
