She was completely unprepared.

Shingetsu Seiun stopped looking at her, turned to look at Hyuga Kaede beside him, and said in a pretended reprimanding tone, "Don't give me this kind of unreliable job next time."

"I'm not so desperate that I have to rely on women to survive."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Watching him leave, Hinata Rinko grew anxious. She stepped forward and shouted, "Are you sure?"

"When war breaks out, Hyuga is the safest place!"

Shenyue Xingyun didn't turn around, but just waved her hand: "Then you just live your life, you don't need to shout so that everyone can hear you."

Shingetsu Seiun didn't take the unpleasant incident at the Hinata gathering to heart.

Back in his tent, ignoring Asuma Sarutobi's teasing gaze and Kurenai Yuhi's stare, he looked at Itachi Uchiha, who was quietly practicing hand seals to the side.

He had been either fighting against Iwagakure or Hyuga Kaede, and hadn't had any free time. Now that he finally had some free time, he remembered Mikoto's binding mission.

[Bound to: Uchiha Mikoto (Instance - Uchiha Fugaku)]

[Current Task: Succession in an Orderly Manner (Your team leader, a Jonin, is deeply concerned about the education of the children. Please guide Uchiha Itachi to ensure his healthy development up to the age of enrollment.)]

[Task Timeframe: Three Years]

[Mission Reward (Choose one): Susanoo First Form Lv3, Noble Phantasm: Yata Mirror, "Healing and Eye-Nourishing Technique".]

Shen Yue Xingyun silently murmured "healthy growth" in her heart.

What does the system mean by "healthy growth"?

Does it refer only to physical health?

If it's just about physical health, then it's clear that he only needs to ensure the little one doesn't die during World War III.

However, if the system's definition of 'health' includes not only physical health but also mental health, then it becomes more complex.

It's unreasonable to expect a child to be mentally healthy on the battlefield.

Seemingly sensing Shingetsu Seiun's gaze, Uchiha Itachi stopped his hand seal practice, looked up, and asked, "Brother Seiun."

"Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing," Shenyue Xingyun shook her head.

"I'm thinking about giving you a lesson."

"Class?" Itachi Uchiha looked puzzled. "What class?"

"Brother Xingyun, will you guide me in my cultivation?"

"No," Shenyue Xingyun denied, "What are you doing cultivating when you're just a child?"

"Put your hand down right now!"

"From today onwards, go to bed early and get up early. No staying up late, and no refining chakra. Do you understand?"

Uchiha Itachi: "?"

Ignoring the bewildered Uchiha Itachi, Shingetsu Seiun gently rubbed the fine hairs on his chin while pondering silently.

Healthy mindset.

If we want a healthy mind, we must arrange ideological education. We must never, ever let the Will of Fire poison the young mind of Uchiha Itachi.

However, ideological education cannot be done overnight.

It should be done in moderation, scientifically, and according to the child's mental development, while also being careful not to cross any red lines...

It's such a hassle just thinking about it.

Suddenly, he looked at Sarutobi Asuma, who was sharpening his knife to the side.

"Asuma, besides the Will of Fire, have you studied any other ideologies?"

Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback: "Nebula, why are you asking this?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Itachi has reached the age where ideological education should be emphasized, and I think it would be best to teach him something new."

"This way, when the next three generations teach the Will of Fire, he will be able to recognize the superiority of the Will of Fire."

Sarutobi Asuma didn't quite understand the logic behind the Shingetsu Nebula.

However, when it comes to ideas other than the Will of Fire, they are exactly what he wants.

He said with some excitement, "You really have to admit."

"Nebula, I've recently learned a bit about 'jade'. Do you know what 'jade' is?"

Many images flashed through Shen Yuexingyun's mind, and he nodded: "...I understand some of it."

"But what we understand may not be the same thing."

"Asuma, you don't need to tell me. Just tell Itachi your understanding of 'Jade' in detail. Consider it a favor to me."

Sarutobi Asuma replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

He turned to the bewildered Uchiha Itachi beside him and gave him a mysterious smile: "Itachi."

Do you know what 'jade' means in the Land of Fire?

Looking at the thick-rimmed face in front of him, Itachi Uchiha wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of hurting the other person's feelings, so he just shook his head.

Sarutobi Asuma, completely oblivious, launched into a long explanation of his understanding: "Speaking of this 'Jade,' in the Land of Fire, theoretically there's only one person who can possess it, and that's ours..."

Chapter 127 The Gathering of Iwagakure

The idea of ​​having Sarutobi Asuma give Itachi Uchiha a moral lesson was a sudden inspiration from Shingetsu Seiun.

It wasn't because Sarutobi Asuma had a particularly good understanding of 'Jade', nor was his intention to have Sarutobi Asuma actually teach to a certain level.

It was all just to pollute Itachi Uchiha's brain database.

He remembered that Uchiha Itachi was later described as a "young man with the mindset of a Hokage," the kind of mindset that says, "Whether it's a friend, a brother, or even my own child, as long as they pose a threat to the village, I will not show mercy."

That's too extreme.

If we disregard everything else for the sake of village peace, we will put the cart before the horse and ultimately bring darkness to the village.

To avoid this situation and to keep Itachi Uchiha's mind in a relatively healthy state, he decided to strike first!

His plan was: since he didn't have enough ability to teach Uchiha Itachi, and let a more complete ideology replace the Will of Fire, he might as well fill Uchiha Itachi's brain with a bunch of messy ideas.

Being influenced by a single ideology can make a person extreme; being influenced by various ideologies can make a person dislike all ideologies. After Itachi Uchiha understood the Will of Earth, the Will of Water, the Will of Lightning, and the Will of Wind, and after learning what 'Jade' is, what war is, what 'peace' is, and what the methods of rulers are, would he still regard the so-called Will of Fire as his guiding principle?

Probably not...

Watching Sarutobi Asuma gradually get into the zone, he nodded in satisfaction, planning to collect the village wills of other ninja villages after some time and give them all to Uchiha Itachi.

……

Nothing happened that night.

At noon the next day, as the alarms sounded at the three-wheeled defense line, everyone quickly went into battle mode.

The hidden rocks are gathering.

Perhaps due to unfamiliarity with the terrain of the third line of defense, or perhaps because the war has reached such a stage that a surprise attack would be too difficult, in any case, this time, Iwagakure seems to be planning a frontal assault.

Everyone tensed up when they heard that the enemy was gathering.

Uchiha Itachi, however, breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just too tired.

This kind of exhaustion is not physical, but mental torment.

What is the most painful thing in the world?

Listening to an old man spout nonsensical nonsense.

What could be more painful than this?

Listening to a precocious man spout nonsensical nonsense.

When he heard that Iwagakure was preparing for battle, he was even more enthusiastic than Sarutobi Asuma, and quickly got up.

How can I help?

"Prepare meals? Clean the house?"

"I can do it, I can do anything."

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment, then looked at Xi Ri Hong.

"Red, when the fight breaks out later, you take Itachi with you..."

Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and Hinata Kaede hurriedly walked in.

"nebula."

"Hyuga Rinko asked me to inform you to go to the watchtower and act as a guard with me."

Shenyue Xingyun frowned: "Fenghua, didn't I tell you? You don't need to worry about my safety."

"I don't want to be a guard either."

Hyuga Kaede hurriedly explained, "This time, I didn't approach her; she came to me."

Seeing that Shenyue Xingyun had a stern face, she added, "She probably won't have the same attitude as last time. You should go over there."

Shenyue Xingyun shook his head.

Seeing his refusal, Hyuga Kaede's gaze shifted, and she said, "Besides, aren't you with a child?" Then, she looked at Uchiha Itachi beside her, "The danger will be much less in the watchtower."

Shingetsu Seiun hesitated for a moment. Seeing this, Hinata Kaede quickly pressed her advantage, leaning closer and softly saying, "I'm begging you."

With Hinata Kaede half-pulling and half-dragging them, the group arrived at the center of the camp, atop a watchtower several tens of meters high.

When the group arrived, the first thing they saw was the guard in his forties. Not far from him, Rinko Hinata was sitting cross-legged on the ground, the blood vessels around her eyes bulging, and a strong chakra aura emanating from her.

A moment later, the chakra aura dissipated, and the blood vessels around the Byakugan faded away.

"The Iwagakure troops are assembling at a 40-degree northwest direction. No large-scale hidden forces have been detected. The general offensive is expected to take place in an hour and a half."

As Hinata Rinko spoke, someone quickly wrote it down and then passed it on.
