Return

Hizashi Hyuga didn't know much about Shiyu's White Rinnegan's specific functions, only that the Sharingan could copy abilities, so he didn't say much more.

But Shiyu actually felt a bit guilty inside.

"Be careful when you use it in the future. After all, the more trump cards you expose, the more dangerous it becomes... In the face of absolute strength, everyone is just a paper tiger." Hizashi also gave a final reminder before ending the conversation.

On the way, Shiyu clenched his fists. His desire to become stronger grew more intense. He thought, My current chakra level should be at the peak of the Kage level, just one step away from Super Kage. If we consider my overall combat power, ordinary Jonin might not even be my opponent.

If Jonin are divided into Special Jonin, Ordinary Jonin, and Elite Jonin, then with my trump cards, I can probably steadily reach the Elite Jonin level. But... I'm still too weak. You have to know that in the later stages, even Kage-level shinobi are just weaklings.

Shiyu then pondered, "Madara of the Six Paths, and various Six Paths-level figures. Compared to them, I'm still far behind."

"Genius is divided into natural genius and hardworking genius. I believe that with my efforts, and possessing the Otsutsuki bloodline, I will definitely become the strongest!" Shiyu said firmly.

The four of them walked from the mountainous terrain to a lush, dense forest, indicating they had traveled from Yugakure in the Land of Rivers to Konohagakure in the Land of Fire.

Finally, the four of them reached the Land of Fire, and no enemies appeared along the way.

"Good things come to those who wait. Our enemies were very strong this time," Hizashi said. "However, it's truly gratifying to complete such a mission perfectly on the first try."

"The difficulty of this mission would probably be A-rank, right? If it weren't for Shiyu, even I would have been defeated. But I estimate that the higher-ups will only report it as B-rank. Don't spread the word, as missions of this level are usually classified," Hizashi Hyuga reminded them again.

"Understood, Teacher!" The three students were very reliable, having matured so much compared to the beginning.

Hizashi Hyuga smiled in satisfaction and then added, "Let's go! We'll reach the village soon! How about I treat you all to a meal when we get back to the village?" Hizashi Hyuga smiled.

"Alright!" Seeing that they had arrived at the village, Hinata Kurenai and Kakashi Nao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shiyu was slightly stunned for a moment before reacting, "Sorry, I might need to go look for my sister. I don't know how she's doing."

"Ah, alright. It's okay, we still have time," Kurenai said to Shiyu with a hint of disappointment.

"Huh? Hyuga? Shiyu isn't going to the dinner party? You seem a bit down!" Kakashi Nao teased unexpectedly.

"Ah!?" Kurenai's face instantly turned red, unsure of what to do.

"Haha!" Nao also laughed unexpectedly, finding Kurenai's blushing face too exaggerated.

"Kakashi Nao, I thought you didn't smile!" Shiyu took the opportunity to help Kurenai out of her predicament.

"Haha!" The three of them burst into laughter, and the awkwardness disappeared.

However, when Kurenai looked at Shiyu, her face was still burning hot. Shiyu, on the other hand, was only thinking about quickly submitting the mission and finding his sister, Xiao Xing.

Then, the group returned to the gates of Konoha smoothly. Just seeing the gates gave everyone a sense of familiar warmth. They all felt like they had finally returned home after a long time.

"Only half a month, and I never thought I'd miss the village this much," Kurenai said.

"Yeah, it's the first mission, everyone misses home," Shiyu replied.

"Shiyu, is your sister the only one at home?" Kurenai asked.

"Yes. I've never met my parents since I came to this world. Xiao Xing is my only family. So I want to quickly find her after submitting the mission and give her a surprise. I'm afraid someone might bully her if she's not taken care of," Shiyu said truthfully.

The first person Shiyu saw when he transmigrated was Xiao Xing, and he could tell that Xiao Xing cared about him deeply. Naturally, he treated Xiao Xing as his own sister.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Kurenai quickly apologized for bringing up the topic of parents.

"It's fine." Shiyu clearly didn't mind at all.

The minor interlude ended, and under Hizashi Hyuga's lead, the three entered the village and headed directly to the Hokage's office beneath the Hokage Rock.

The Third Hokage was still handling official business. Of course, there was a strong smell of smoke in the room. As a heavy smoker, the Third Hokage must have smoked during his break, filling the room with haze. Beside him were some Anbu members assisting with the work.

"Oh? Hizashi is here," the Third Hokage said, looking up in surprise.

"How was it? Did the mission go well?" the Third Hokage asked with a smile. "Did my disciple cause you any trouble?"

Hizashi Hyuga shook his head and said, "Lord Third Hokage, Shiyu performed exceptionally well."

Just as Hizashi was about to report, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!" the Third Hokage said.

Then, three people pushed the door open. Leading them was a female ninja with long, curly purple hair and an incredibly cute face. Although her figure hadn't fully developed due to her age, she looked quite good.

In a few more years, she would surely develop into the legendary combination of a devilish figure and an angelic face.

The second ninja was an extremely ordinary ninja, unremarkable in appearance, build, or weight. Having no distinctive features was their only characteristic.

The last ninja was also a male. The complete opposite of the second male, he was young but possessed explosive muscles and a burly physique. He looked like someone not to be trifled with.

"This should be a Taijutsu user. The ordinary ninja seems to have balanced development. The purple-haired girl is likely a genjutsu specialist," Shiyu analyzed their abilities at a glance.

"Violet?" Hinata Kurenai also reacted.

"Hinata Kurenai!?" Violet also recognized her.

"Yo? Here to submit a mission!" Violet said haughtily.

"This is bad. How did these two run into each other?" Hiruzen seemed troubled, patting his head before quickly distributing the mission rewards.

"Lord Third Hokage, I'll be back soon to report to you privately!" Hizashi said, intending to leave. The Third Hokage didn't stop him.

Shiyu and the other three were allowed to leave. However, even as they departed, Violet shot a provocative glance at Kurenai.

Just as Hizashi Hyuga opened the door to leave, he bumped into another woman.
