Uchiha Jin's Squad Just Left, Root's Mission Arrives Right After!

Inside the tent, the atmosphere was heavy.

Despite the good news brought by Takada Fujiwara, no one showed any excitement, which made him confused. "What happened? Why do you all look like that?"

"Shikaichi, you explain," Uchiha Jin said.

Nara Shikaichi nodded and began to speak slowly.

Ten minutes later.

After hearing the explanation, Takada Fujiwara's expression also became solemn. "Your analysis does make sense. I also found Sunagakure's assassination attempt strange, I didn't expect there to be such an explanation."

"But would anyone in the village dare to do this? You know it's no different from defecting?"

As a civilian, he couldn't understand it for a moment.

Corruption had already shocked him, he never expected that betraying village intelligence and colluding with foreign enemies would come out.

Uchiha Jin sneered, "If we're dead, who would know these things?"

"As long as one reaches a certain position of power," Nara Shikaichi said slowly, "Power represents the right to speak. Those below have no ability to discern. Whatever the higher-ups say, that's what it is."

"Take Captain Takada for example, even if you know the truth, what can you do now?"

Takada Fujiwara fell silent!

This was the first time he felt the importance of power. He used to think the Hokage served everyone, but now he realized the "Will of Fire" was all a lie, just a means for the higher-ups to control the lower ranks.

As a civilian before, he couldn't possibly understand, but now that he had become a Jonin, he naturally began to come into contact with these things. However, this also meant more trouble and worries.

This made him realize that although the money from last time was spent enjoyably, the danger behind it was equally great.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly said, "Shikaichi, you don't need to investigate anymore. The camp is heavily guarded, and ordinary ninjas are not allowed to move around freely."

"I know the command structure of the Kikyo Mountain Camp. Let me introduce it to you now."

Takada Fujiwara sighed. Although he was helpless, he still introduced them in detail.

Meanwhile.

After hearing these words, Uchiha Jin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "The person in charge of distributing front-line missions is called Sawada Seiichi? This is good news for us."

"Kakashi, it's your turn!"

"Let's try to see if your father's reputation still works. If possible, find an intelligence gathering mission, preferably one that gets closer to the front lines. It doesn't matter if it's a little dangerous."

"The longer the mission duration, the better. And we don't need to rest, it's best to leave this camp as soon as possible!"

Kakashi hesitated.

He really didn't want to rely on his father's prestige to do such a thing. If it were in the past, he would never have agreed. But now, as he understood more about the darkness of the village, he hadn't lost as much friendship as in the original work, and naturally hadn't become as decadent as in the original work.

He was full of drive now!

As a young man, he still wanted to figure out the truth behind his father's suicide and even avenge his father. So, after a moment of thought, he still nodded and left the tent.

Half an hour later.

Kakashi returned with a mission scroll. "Sunagakure's Pakura appeared in the Land of Rain a few days ago. The mission requires us to go to the Land of Rain immediately and find out Pakura's true purpose there as soon as possible."

"There is no time limit, until the mission is completed!"

Almost instantly.

Everyone in the tent couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes.

It seemed that Hatake Sakumo's legacy was indeed useful. Even in death, someone was willing to protect Kakashi. You must know that those who could manage the mission commission system were almost all Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidants.

And people who could reach such a position, would they not know that they were being targeted?

But even knowing this, they were still willing to help, which further proved the preciousness of the list in his hand.

"Don't delay, let's go immediately!" Uchiha Jin said with a serious tone.

Everyone was a little surprised. Takada Fujiwara couldn't help but say, "Why don't we rest for a day first."

"No, it's easy to have problems," Uchiha Jin shook his head.

Although he couldn't say some things directly, he knew Danzo's personality very well.

If Danzo was truly behind this matter, then with his petty nature, once he found out, he would definitely make another move. Modifying the commissions in their hands would not be a difficult thing at all.

He absolutely couldn't give him this chance!

Although the people present didn't fully understand, they chose to believe Uchiha Jin.

Ten minutes later.

Relying on the mission scrolls in their hands, they left the Kikyo Mountain Camp directly.

Two hours later.

A team of masked Anbu arrived at the Kikyo Mountain Camp. They went to Orochimaru's tent and knelt on one knee, speaking slowly.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

"Lord Danzo has issued a special order, requiring the Takada Fujiwara squad to carry out a special mission!"

After speaking.

He directly raised the mission scroll in his hand high.

Orochimaru, who was studying the map, couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity at the words.

He casually took the mission scroll from the other party, opened it, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Destroy Sunagakure's supply line?"

"And requiring the Takada Fujiwara squad, who just graduated not long ago?"

"This method—it's so crude!"

Orochimaru shook his head, his eyes full of disdain.

Yes!

Anyone with a normal mind could sense the malice within.

He looked down on Danzo from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Teacher Hiruzen's support, he could easily kill scum like Danzo.

But, likewise.

He naturally didn't pay much attention to the lives of Takada Fujiwara and the others.

If Uchiha Jin couldn't even avoid this kind of danger, then no matter how much of a genius he was, Orochimaru wouldn't be interested.

If they died, they died!

He directly called a ninja over and said casually.

"Summon Takada Fujiwara here. There's a mission!"

"Yes!"

After the other party bowed and left the camp, he went to prepare the Takada Fujiwara squad, but it was clear he came up empty.

He didn't report back to Orochimaru immediately. Instead, he began to investigate the matter. After all, it was difficult to leave the camp without proper authorization. Finally, after learning the truth from the patrol team, he found Sawada Seiichi at the mission management office. The two then returned to the commander's tent together.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Takada Fujiwara squad has left."

"They received their mission from the mission management office two hours ago and are now heading towards the Land of Rain."

"Do you need me to bring them back?"

The ninja asked, kneeling on one knee.

Orochimaru was stunned. The Takada Fujiwara squad had actually left?

What a surprise!

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh a moment later.

"Interesting, truly interesting!"
