Konoha Security Department.

Beneath the Red and White Ping Pong Racket Clan Crest.

A group of Uchiha stood in the Security Department's lobby, selecting missions.

A Handsome Youth squeezed through the crowd, gazing up at the bulletin board covered in mission requests.

Normally, missions were posted at the Mission Assignment Office in the Hokage Building.

But Uchiha Ci was not a registered Konoha ninja.

He was like the Cannon Fodder that the Five Great Nations suddenly scraped together during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

He was a Clan Ninja belonging to the Uchiha.

Although he wore a Konoha Dog Tag, there was still a difference.

For example, missions were mostly assigned directly from the village to the clan, and then posted within the clan in this manner.

The main idea was participation and doing what one could.

However, this clearly did not meet Uchiha Ci's expectations.

"Damn it, not a single mission related to the border line?"

Uchiha Ci was dumbfounded.

At this time, the most dangerous places

were undoubtedly the border areas between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, especially places like the Land of Rain and the Land of Valleys.

But at this moment, on the mission board, there were no missions for Border Patrol, Cross-border Supply Escort, or Stalk and Assassinate Enemy VIP.

All of them were missions that could be completed within the country borders.

There were even many D-Rank missions like Cat Search and Message Delivery posted to fill the quota.

Within the scope of C-Rank missions he could accept, the most dangerous one

was to drive back a giant Wild Boar that had strayed out of the Death Forest not far from the village.

"Damn it, I thought I could die as soon as I left the village," Uchiha Ci felt like crying, "But what's the difference between this and the past?"

Uchiha Ci's face was ashen, and he shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to decide to take the most dangerous C-Rank mission: driving back the Wild Boar.

He'd try to give Brother Pig an extra meal.

But just then, a slightly Tender hand reached out and took the mission scroll before him.

"Excuse me, please give this mission to me."

A handsome youth with clear features, wearing a black high-necked short-sleeved shirt and pants, and carrying a Wakizashi, smiled at Uchiha Ci.

With his signature Dumpling Nose, Uchiha Ci instantly recognized him as the Uchiha genius whose reputation had not yet spread.

Shisui Uchiha.

Uchiha Ci: "..."

Damn it, you're a registered Konoha ninja, why are you competing with me for a clan mission?

"Sorry, Uchiha Ci, this mission can help me hone my swordsmanship. I can give you the reward for the mission, but please let me have this Opportunity!"

Shisui Uchiha smiled earnestly, his emotions sincere.

Under such a bright smile, Uchiha Ci had no reason to refuse.

It was just a C-Rank mission anyway, and he probably wouldn't die. When the Ninja World War broke out, there would be plenty of opportunities to die, so Uchiha Ci didn't care about this one.

He was rather surprised: "You know me?"

Shisui Uchiha, he certainly knew him.

But it was quite unexpected that the other party knew him.

"Yeah, we did a D-Rank mission together before, don't you remember?" Shisui Uchiha smiled, casually telling a lie.

"Perhaps," Uchiha Ci mumbled. He had taken too many missions to remember them all.

He had no interest in befriending these characters from the Original Work. If this changed the future and prevented the Crown Prince from saving the world, then his sin would be great!

Now, he just wanted to die and go home as soon as possible.

He was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, so Uchiha Ci continued to look at the Mission Bulletin Board.

In fact, Shisui Uchiha had just checked Uchiha Ci's name from the Mission Log.

Moreover, he was shocked by Uchiha Ci's resume.

Uchiha Ci: Genin, Ninja Resume: 1 year, Missions Completed: D-Rank 855, C-Rank 0.

This unknown peer was actually a mission fanatic, completing 2-3 D-Rank missions a day on average, without a single day of rest in a year.

Terrifying!

Uchiha Ci didn't know that his resume would shock Shisui Uchiha. He had completed so many missions simply to see if he could die from overwork.

But if he knew he would gain Shisui's approval for this reason, he would definitely twist his body and shout:

"What a sin!"

This made Shisui Uchiha even more convinced that this peer was not a vulgar Uchiha.

A genin had reached this extent!

He was truly burning himself out for the village!

For this reason, Shisui Uchiha didn't care about being ignored by Uchiha Ci.

Instead, he took a step closer, their shoulders almost touching.

"W-what are you doing~!" Uchiha Ci let out a startled yelp.

I didn't expect this.

Shisui Uchiha, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to have such a hobby at such a young age?

Shisui Uchiha only thought that his companion was a bit socially anxious. He smiled knowingly and whispered into his ear, "Ci-kun, I know what you're thinking."

Uchiha Ci's eyes widened.

You, how do you know I want to cheat Bao?

"The Great Elder will hold a mobilization meeting later, and there are two very dangerous missions," Shisui Uchiha said gravely.

"But don't worry, I won't let you take them!"

It was like a demon whispering in his ear, and Uchiha Ci shivered.

He looked at Shisui Uchiha in terror.

Does this Birdman have some kind of cheat that lets him hear thoughts?

Is he trying to fleece me?

However, the two missions mentioned by the other party made Uchiha Ci's eyes light up.

"What missions?" Uchiha Ci lowered his voice, not wanting others to hear, making it seem like they were conducting an underground transaction, mysterious and secretive.

"As expected, you are that kind of person!" Shisui Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with admiration.

He reaffirmed his approval of Uchiha Ci in his heart!

Then he made up his mind that he would never let Uchiha Ci die in a dangerous mission.

Such talent, should become a bridge between the village and the Uchiha!

Just then, An old man with a white-haired hedgehog head, wearing a cold half mask, and a high-collar black robe of the Uchiha Clan without a Konoha Headband, ascended to a high place in the Security Department hall.

His eagle-eyed gaze was so sharp that no one dared to look directly at him.

Uchiha Ci was suddenly startled.

Because the person before him was the sole survivor of the Uchiha Clan, the Great Elder, Uchiha Setsuna!

As a fierce person who had once conspired to assassinate the Second Hokage and was still alive and kicking, he was naturally the leader of the Uchiha Clan's Hawk Faction.

The Uchiha present also turned their gazes to the old man, their eyes showing respect, hatred, or indifference.

"Why you have been summoned here, I'm sure everyone present has some idea."

Uchiha Setsuna spoke calmly, his voice echoing through the Security Department hall.

"That's right!"

"The war is about to begin!"

"After the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the entire ninja world's structure has gradually moved towards chaos."

"Here in the Land of Fire, border friction is becoming increasingly intense."

Latest news reports that small-scale battles have already begun on the Battlefield of the Land of Rain.

And in the further outside world, Iwagakure and Kirigakure have harbored grudges for a long time, and war is on the verge of breaking out.

Those barbarians from Kumogakure are also insatiable, repeatedly probing and encroaching into the Land of Fields.

"The entire ninja world will soon be engulfed in an era of warfare!"

"However--"

Uchiha Setsuna paused, his voice turning cold:

"My Uchiha clan, having endured thousands of years of warfare, these petty scoundrels are nothing to fear!"

"Currently, the Battlefield of the Land of Rain and the garrison at the Valley of Hell in the Land of Hot Water."

"Require two Jonin, two Chunin, and two Genin each, to form two squads for support."

"Genin are not strictly required. Jonin and Chunin will make their own decisions. If the required numbers are not met by the deadline, I will personally select and forcibly assign participants."

As his words fell, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Hearing the two place names Uchiha Setsuna mentioned, many people's faces turned pale with fear.

Uchiha Ci, standing in the crowd, had intended to immediately raise his hand and volunteer, Shouting: "To recast the glory of the Uchiha clan, it is my generation's bounden duty!"

When suddenly, his vision blurred, and his entire body trembled.

A dispassionate voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

[Talent has arrived.]

[Heart of Steel (SSS): Please, let me be steel one more time! --Steel, Gate]

With a deafening, crisp clang, Uchiha Ci instantly snapped back to reality.

But upon hearing the name of this talent, Uchiha Ci's heart skipped a beat.
