"What do you mean by 'good at training'? Asuma and Kurenai were also trained by me. One was impulsive and reckless, and the other was rather timid."
"But your performance today exceeded my expectations."
Shenyue Xingyun didn't know how to respond, so she remained silent.
Mikoto Uchiha continued, "What are your plans for the future?"
Shingetsu Seiun asked uncertainly, "Mikoto-sensei, you mean...?"
Mikoto Uchiha: "I was referring to the team."
"You and Sarutobi Asuma were in the same team, and you were originally recruited as medical ninjas."
"But now I've discovered that your talents aren't limited to medical ninjutsu."
"So I want to ask you, do you want to be a full-time medical ninja, or do you want to be a captain?"
Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback.
Mikoto Uchiha: "The original plan was for Asuma Sarutobi to be the captain."
"But based on recent observations, you are more suitable than Asuma in terms of both strength and personality."
Shingetsu Nebula: "But Asuma is..."
Mikoto Uchiha: "What is it?"
Shingetsu Seiun: "It's Sarutobi Asuma."
Mikoto Uchiha laughed: "You don't need to worry about these things."
"You just need to tell me if you want to be the captain."
After speaking, she looked at Shenyue Xingyun, waiting for his answer. However, he didn't reply; instead, his gaze was fixed, as if he were lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Mikoto Uchiha asked, puzzled. "What are you thinking about?"
“Answer my question.”
"Oh, oh~" Shingetsu Seiun realized what was happening. Her brain processed the information she had just heard and came to understand the question Uchiha Mikoto had asked.
"team leader!"
"Mikoto-sensei, I want to be the team leader!"
Mikoto Uchiha nodded.
"Row."
"I understand, you can go back now."
“Yes, Mikoto-sensei.” Shingetsu Seiun replied, his gaze lingering on Uchiha Mikoto’s face for a moment before turning and leaving.
His strange reaction didn't escape Mikoto Uchiha's notice.
The latter was somewhat puzzled. Then, she looked around in bewilderment, and when she saw the dim light from the desk lamp and her overly casual clothes, she seemed to suddenly understand.
Recalling the description in the other party's profile—'Public enemy of the ninja academy's male students, with nearly a hundred ex-girlfriends'—her face flushed, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
'You brat!'
She then thought to herself.
'I'll need to be more careful in the future.'
...
Unbeknownst to Shingetsu Seiun, the Jonin leading the team, separated by only a wall, had already become wary of him.
He had been distracted not because of anything else, but because of the panel notification that suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Bound to: Uchiha Mikoto (Instance - Uchiha Fugaku)]
[Current Task: Filial Piety Between Master and Disciple (Uchiha Mikoto has been feeling down lately. Please massage her fingertips for one hour to relieve her stress.)]
[Task deadline: Seven days (Expired task will be void).]
[Task refreshed!]
[Current Task: Advanced Version of Master-Disciple Relationship (Uchiha Mikoto has been feeling down lately. Please massage her fingertips for 80 minutes to relieve her stress.)]
[Task time limit: two days. 】
[Mission Reward (Choose one): Childcare Guide Lv2, Ninja Tool Throwing Lv2, Great Fireball 100x Special Skill Boost Card.]
Shingetsu Nebula: "?"
Looking at the information on the panel in front of him, Shenyue Xingyun was full of question marks.
Wasn't it already expired and invalid? Why is a task notification popping up again?
Furthermore, the time limit has been extended from one hour to 80 minutes. What, the package has been upgraded?
But the mission rewards haven't changed.
Just then, Shenyue Xingyun's gaze sharpened and fell on the section after the mission rewards.
He rubbed his eyes.
If I remember correctly, the third reward was originally a Fireball Jutsu special skill boost card, but now it's doubled?
Doubling it isn't enough!
Poverty and hardship cannot sway him! His principles cannot be changed by a single Fireball Amplification Card!
After closing the system panel, Shenyue Xingyun calmed herself down and returned to her room.
"You're back." Inside the room, Sarutobi Asuma greeted him in a tone he had practiced several times.
Shenyue Xingyun seemed not to hear her and collapsed onto the blankets.
This left Sarutobi Asuma completely bewildered.
Are you angry because I didn't say thank you?
'You cheapskate!'
……
After resting for two days, Sarutobi Asuma's injuries had healed. Having prepared their supplies, the team began their retreat. They needed to bring back new information to Konoha.
Because of his recent injury, Sarutobi Asuma was on one side, while Shingetsu Seiun was in front.
The group focused on their journey. After some time, when they arrived at the area where they had been attacked not long ago, they gradually became tense and cautiously observed the situation.
Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai gripped their kunai tightly, their eyes wide as they carefully sensed their surroundings.
No abnormalities were found.
After quickly passing through and walking for a while, Sarutobi Asuma finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the somewhat silent team, he wanted to liven things up and said...
"Fortunately, the journey back was relatively safe."
"When we get back to the village, I'll treat everyone to barbecue, okay?"
The voice just fell.
"Earth Escape·Diyan Cave" "Boom!!~"
Chapter 59 Trap
A tremendous roar resounded in our ears.
The rumbling tremors made it almost impossible for Sarutobi Asuma and the others to maintain their footing.
To the astonishment of the group, the surrounding earth, rocks, and trees rose rapidly, instantly towering high and blocking out the sunlight.
"No, the ground is sinking!" Kurenai Yuhi sensed the situation and alerted him in a panic.
But it was too late.
The ground within a radius of tens of meters has sunk underground, surrounded by high, raised rock walls.
At a glance, it appears to be at least fifty meters deep.
Such a powerful ninjutsu is definitely not something that ordinary genin or even chunin can perform.
The lowest rank is Jonin.
"Hahaha~" The arrogant and triumphant laughter echoed in the empty, large rock pit.
"Those guys from Konoha, they really made me wait a whole day for nothing."
High up, a section of the rock face juts out gently.
A fat ninja in red, weighing at least 300 pounds, looked down at the group.
Then, two more tall and thin figures emerged from behind.
Sarutobi Asuma and the other man's pupils trembled, and Uchiha Mikoto's expression also darkened. Sensing the chakra fluctuations of the others, she said in a deep voice.
"One Jonin, and two Chunin (the lowest rank)."
"Take care of yourselves in a bit, I might not be able to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai felt a pang of anxiety.
Sarutobi Asuma, in particular, had not yet recovered from his previous defeats when he encountered such an enemy.
After taking a few deep breaths, he turned around and looked at Kurenai Yuhi, who was equally at a loss.
"Hong, let's do our best, don't be afraid."
'If dying together with you isn't so bad,' he thought, turning his head, his eyes gradually hardening, though his hands were still trembling slightly.
"Hahaha..." A tall, thin ninja laughed loudly.
"You lot, stop struggling."
"Hand over the intelligence you possess, and I'll ensure that when you're buried with my men, you'll at least have a whole corpse."
No one answered.
Mikoto Uchiha turned around and glanced back.
