The Master of Konoha's Legacy

A flash of anger crossed Minato Namikaze's eyes as he retorted on behalf of Tonan Uchiha:

"Senior, illusion magic is not suitable for direct confrontation."

Tu Nan's illusion magic is quite powerful, but since you were on guard, its effectiveness was somewhat diminished.

Kamiya Ichiki smiled apologetically and handed the map to Uchiha Tonan, saying:

"Sorry, Taro has always been this way."

Okay, here's your map.

Let's head to the border together first.

In that situation just now, even if Yoshida Taro didn't violently dispel the illusion, he would have done it himself.

After all, the caster can see the scene in the illusion, which could potentially expose information.

Both exposing Danzo's information and this additional mission are very disadvantageous to our side.

[Chapter 62. Heading to the Border Garrison Town]

"Whoosh~"

Just then, a ninja wearing an animal mask appeared at the barrier and said coldly:

"Gentlemen, the mission has changed. Lord Danzo requests your presence."

Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro instinctively knelt on one knee and bowed their heads, saying, "Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Kazuki Kamiya and Taro Yoshida exchanged a sharp glance and realized what was happening at the same time.

Because members of the Root organization who possess the seal of severing the root of tongue-trouble cannot reveal Danzo's name to outsiders.

So......

The two simultaneously formed hand seals, accelerating the flow of chakra.

"Illusion, dispel." x2

"Pfft~"

As the genjutsu dissipated, Uchiha Tonan coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes automatically reverted to Sharingan mode.

But blood and tears still streamed down her face.

Minato Namikaze and Kakashi instantly rushed to Tonan Uchiha's side and helped him up.

Seeing that Uchiha Tonan was on the verge of death, Kakashi glared at Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro.

His other hand had already reached into his ninja tool pouch and was gripping the kunai tightly.

Even the usually gentle Minato Namikaze was now enraged.

He looked at the two of them coldly and said, "It was just a test. Why did you violently dispel the illusion?"

Uchiha Tonan quickly waved his hand, looking weak, and said:

"It's alright, it was my oversight."

I forgot to tell the seniors the code to stop the test.

This was the only way they could break the illusion.

Kazuki Kamiya wanted to make an apologetic expression, but his perpetually expressionless face prevented him from doing so.

He could only bow slightly to Uchiha Tonan as an apology, saying:

"Sorry, we didn't expect your illusion to be so realistic."

Out of instinct, one might subconsciously and violently break through the illusion.

However, to be fair, your Sharingan genjutsu is truly amazing.

A faint smile appeared on Uchiha Tonan's pale face as he shook his head and said:

"Senior, you flatter me. If the enemy is on guard and closes their eyes, I will be helpless."

Upon hearing this, everyone present raised their eyebrows slightly.

Kakashi and Minato thought to themselves: Tu Nan is too naive, actually telling others such important information.

Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro exchanged a silent glance.

Kamiya Ichiki handed the map to Uchiha Tonando:

"Here is your map."

Then he glanced at Taro Yoshida.

Yoshida Taro understood and took out three thumb-sized cylinders from his ninja tool bag, each with a mini red button on it.

"Each person has a signal flare, which is to be ignited when the two adults are on standby."

Everyone else must go to provide support immediately.

Seeing that Uchiha Tonan wasn't going to hold a grudge against the two, Minato Namikaze and Kakashi decided to let the matter drop.

After all, the other party has already apologized, and it doesn't seem to have been intentional.

The three of them took the signal flare from Taro Yoshida and put it into their respective ninja tool pouches.

"You rest for a bit, I'll carry you on my back."

Minato Namikaze thoughtfully carried the weakened Uchiha Tonan on his back.

The five began their journey toward the border of the Land of Fire.

Two days later, the group was running through the forest.

According to the map, in a little while, everyone will part ways and head to their respective garrison towns.

Uchiha Tonan kept pondering what was wrong with this mission the whole way.

First, there's the task itself.

An S-class mission that requires both the Dark Force Captain and the Root Force Captain to execute simultaneously...

And it's at this particular time.

It seems that Sakumo Hatake is about to die, which means that this mission will most likely fail.

Despite Uchiha Tonan's efforts over the years, Hatake Sakumo did not express his approval.

Although Uchiha Tonan learned a lot about the samurai spirit.

But there wasn't a suitable time to chat with Sakumo Hatake alone.

Are we really going to miss out on such a big fish as Sakumo Hatake...?

No, if I really can't gain their approval, I must stop Sakumo Hatake from committing suicide no matter what.

Once I gain his approval, given Hatake Sakumo's fragile heart, killing him shouldn't be too difficult.

Another suspicious point is the two unfamiliar teammates on this rescue mission.

Previously, Uchiha Tonan used the Hell Viewing Technique on the two of them in order to see through their fears.

However, the two of them did not seem to have much fear.

Fortunately, the illusion is still going on, which means that these two people still have people or things they are afraid of.

Furthermore, it's not hard to tell from the words of the messenger ninja in the illusion that these two are afraid of Danzo.

Given their consistently expressionless faces, it's almost certain they are Root ninjas.

Uchiha Tonan dared not let his guard down around the subordinates of a villain like Danzo, who committed all sorts of evil deeds.

In particular, Uchiha Tonan knew that Orochimaru was already experimenting with the Sharingan.

Since there have been no reports of missing persons within the family, Danzo must be in dire need of Sharingan.

Most of the Uchiha clan ninjas joined the Konoha Police Force.

Since Danzo in the village was difficult to target, he himself became the best prey.

Three hours later.

The group was already close to the border of the Land of Fire.

The five began to head towards the garrison town according to their respective maps.

Uchiha Tonan, being cautious, sent out several white doves to follow Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro from a distance.

About half a day later.

Uchiha Tonan arrived in the town.

These small towns near the border are not prosperous; most of the locals are engaged in farming and simple commercial activities.

Of course, there were also soldiers from the Land of Fire stationed in the town, as well as some genin who had been assigned C-rank duty missions.

Most of these genin are older and have no potential for promotion.

While C-level missions like these don't offer particularly high rewards, they are stable and offer some perks.

After a brief introduction to them, Uchiha Tonan checked into a hotel under the arrangement of the duty captain.

Pour the tea leaves you carry with you into a teapot, add water, and boil it on the gas stove.

Next, we just need to wait patiently.

After all, no matter how strong Hatake Sakumo is, he should have only been in the Land of Rain for a short time now.

Including the journey and the inevitable battles during the hostage rescue, it will probably take another seven or eight days.

There's absolutely no rush.

Moreover, Uchiha Tonan knew the plot of the original work, and Hatake Sakumo had failed this time.

It's unclear who Sakumo Hatake chose to abandon the mission to save.

It probably won't be Kakashi or Minato, since the original story mentioned that the person who was saved was also blaming Sakumo Hatake.

Excluding those, only the three core personnel involved in this mission remain.

Um......

I haven't gained Sakumo Hatake's approval yet. Should I take care of the two teammates I can deal with first?
