A new member was suddenly added to their mission squad, and an outsider at that. By all rights, it was a serious violation of the Ninja Handbook.

Kakashi was about to say something when Uchiha Yoichi cut him off, "Kakashi, you need to learn to be flexible. When Mina agreed, she became part of my Uchiha clan.

Besides, Mina is a sensor ninja. You need to understand how much a sensor ninja can help with missions. Learn, Kakashi."

As Uchiha Yoichi spoke, Uzumaki Mina lowered her head, her heart trembling.

In the Ninja World, if you said someone was part of your family, it basically meant they were married into the family and changed their surname. For example, Uzumaki Mina would become Uchiha Mina.

However, Uchiha Yoichi didn't have that intention. He planned to take Uzumaki Mina in as a vassal, and then ask the Second Elder to train her. In the future, his mission squad would definitely have a spot for Uzumaki Mina.

One reason Uzumaki Mina accepted Uchiha Yoichi's invitation was that she hadn't been having a good time in Kusagakure.

After her abilities were exposed, the Grass Ninja treated her like a mobile blood bag. Fortunately, Uzumaki Mina hadn't revealed her Sealing Jutsu yet, or the Grass Village would have drained her of every last bit of value.

"Mina, how large is your sensory range?"

"At most three to four kilometers. I only awakened this ability two months ago, so I'm not very proficient yet."

Uzumaki Mina said softly, a little embarrassed. She didn't know much about the ninja world, but when she told Akutagawa of Kusagakure about it back then, he had disdainfully told her things like 'So useless.'

Because of that, Uzumaki Mina thought her sensory ability wasn't developed well.

"Three, three to four kilometers?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's face, hidden behind his mask, showed shock. Such a sensory range was already incredibly powerful. He remembered his father saying that the Hyuga's Byakugan could generally only observe one to two kilometers.

And Uzumaki Mina had only just awakened this ability. From what she said, it seemed like it would become even stronger in the future.

Even he would feel envious of such an ability. Although the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline abilities weren't focused on combat, they were still terrifyingly powerful.

Thinking this, Kakashi felt that Uchiha Yoichi might have heard about the Uzumaki Clan's abilities within the clan, which was why he immediately wanted to take Mina with him after seeing her.

While this might violate Konoha's rules, it at least increased the mission's success rate by at least double.

"The next mission is here, a Stone Ninja outpost. According to the alliance revised after the Second Shinobi World War, each ninja village can only build outposts within their own country. However, this time the Stone Ninja have built an outpost in the Land of Grass."

Uchiha Yoichi explained the mission they were about to undertake, mainly for Uzumaki Mina's benefit.

As for violating regulations?

As long as he could complete the mission, he didn't need rules to bind him. If Uchiha Yoichi didn't need combat experience, he wouldn't bother taking missions for such meager rewards.

However, missions had another benefit for him: legal plunder. Any money obtained outside of the mission could be handed over to Konoha.

"Simply put, this mission is to remind the Stone Ninja of the alliance and dismantle this outpost in the Land of Grass. Generally, an outpost only has a Chunin squad, so it's unlikely there'll be a Jonin. But to be safe..."

Uchiha Yoichi paused here, then turned to Uzumaki Mina, who was listening intently beside him, and asked, "Mina, can you sense the target's chakra levels?"

"I should be able to, but I'll need to get closer. At the maximum range, the sensation is very blurry."

"Alright. When the time comes, use me as a reference to sense the number of enemy ninja and their chakra levels."

Uchiha Yoichi also assigned Mina a task. High chakra levels didn't necessarily mean a strong opponent, but low chakra levels meant they were almost certainly weak.

They could barely use a few Ninjutsu, let alone engage in pre-battle probing.

"We'll rest for the night and set off tomorrow. I'm going out for a bit, you don't need to mind me."

After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi prepared to leave. Kakashi originally wanted to ask Uchiha Yoichi about his destination and follow him.

However, after receiving a look, he abandoned the idea of speaking up.

Leaving the place they were staying for the night, Uchiha Yoichi ran south for about six or seven kilometers. He had passed a mountain hollow during the day and stopped here.

"It's far enough. I hope the first summon won't be too unlucky."

Uchiha Yoichi intended to try out the random summon ability. He had refreshed this ability, and if he didn't use it even once, he would feel a little unwilling.

"Call from another world, come forth!"

Uchiha Yoichi shouted loudly. This was a mandatory requirement from the Superpower Roulette, which always came up with new tricks.

After saying this, a massive summoning circle appeared in front of Uchiha Yoichi. Then, with a 'boom,' the summoning circle emitted purple light and smoke.

As soon as the summoning circle appeared, Uchiha Yoichi instantly dodged backward. However, he suddenly noticed that there was a summon notification on the Superpower Roulette panel, so he opened it to take a look.

[Goat that grows in the Elemental Forest]: Once wanted to use its sturdy horns to gore the various species that hunted them, but found that its horns offered no protection. In the end, it could only rely on instinct and the protection of elemental spirits to survive.

(Its meat is extremely delicious, thanks to living in a forest rich in magic elements. Eating its meat can quickly restore stamina.)

[Note: Summon has been recorded. It can be summoned repeatedly or re-summoned.]

"This, this description is... I summoned a skewer of lamb?"

Uchiha Yoichi's mouth twitched. After the smoke cleared, he saw the goat he had summoned. It was indeed good-looking, a prime example of a goat, with wool as white as snow. However, the description suggested it had no combat power.

Sizzle!

Lightning crackled around Uchiha Yoichi, and he instantly appeared beside the goat, placing a hand on it.

Startled by the sudden attack, the goat kicked its four hooves, trying to escape. However, its meager strength was no match for Uchiha Yoichi.

After struggling for a long time, it still couldn't break free from one hand. At this point, Uchiha Yoichi was certain that this goat from the Elemental Forest truly had no combat power.

"I summoned a meat sheep on the first try. Should I consider myself lucky?"

Not summoning a powerful exotic beast was acceptable. If he had summoned one, it would have been a hassle for him, as the probability of summoning something just right for him was very small.

Uchiha Yoichi applied a little more force with his hand, directly crushing the goat to death. He then stored it in a storage scroll, planning to find an opportunity to taste the delicious meat.
