"S-class?"

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Uchiha Yue also stood there stunned for a long time, clearly shocked by Tsunade's words.

However, after a few seconds of stunned silence, Uchiha Yue came to his senses and asked Tsunade, "Master, what kind of S-rank mission is it?"

"Minato, you go ahead and clear the way with Kushina. I have something to discuss with Yue."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Tsunade did not answer directly, but instead first distracted Minato Namikaze was standing nearby.

Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze immediately understood that Tsunade had something to say to Uchiha Yue. So, just as Tsunade spoke, Minato Namikaze quickened his pace, leading the way with Kushina Uzumaki, leaving Tsunade and Uchiha Yue to walk slowly behind. However, seeing Tsunade's serious expression, Uchiha Yue became even more Tsunade about what kind of S-rank mission she had mentioned.

Then, after Minato Namikaze went to Kushina Uzumaki's side, Tsunade's gaze shifted to Uchiha Yue, and she said, "Light, there are some things that only we, master and disciple, can know, which is why I had to Minato and Kushina away. Actually, it's not that I can't tell Minato and Kushina these things, but it wouldn't do Kushina any good if they knew."

"Well..."

With that, Tsunade sighed deeply and continued, "Tsuki, I've known for a long time that you're skilled in jutsu, but you've surprised me too much lately. First, there was the Falling Moon Style Taijutsu, then the Ninjutsu you and Minato researched, and now you've developed Ninjutsu that benefits us medical-nin. It's truly beyond my expectations. Therefore, I'm going to assign you an S-rank mission: to help our Konoha secretly research some medicines."

"Drug?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Master, if we want to research secret medicines, isn't having you enough?"

No, that's not enough.

At this moment, Tsunade shook her head at Uchiha Yue and said, "Yue, I dare say my Medical Ninjutsu is top-notch in the Shinobi World, but in terms of technique, I'm nowhere near as good as you. Moreover, researching secret medicines requires not only theoretical knowledge but also some unconventional thinking. So, Yue, you can't refuse my invitation. Even in the entire Konoha, only a handful of people know that we're researching secret medicines!"

"Yes, I understand, Master."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Yue nodded heavily, agreeing to participate in the research on the secret medicine.

However, just when Uchiha Yue thought Tsunade had no other requests, Tsunade suddenly smiled at him and said, "Tsukuru, I have something else to ask you. While researching the secret medicine, I also need to develop some new Uchiha Yue. So, when I'm developing those new Ninjutsu, you'll have Ninjutsu help me out!"

"Well.."

The moment Tsunade finished speaking, Uchiha Yue finally understood her true purpose. It turned out she wanted him involved in developing new Ninjutsu; the S-rank mission to research the secret medicine was just a pretext. However, Uchiha Yue could understand Tsunade's feelings. Ninjutsu all, as Uchiha Yue Tsunade, it would be rather shameful for Tsunade to want his help in researching new Uchiha Yue.

Immediately afterwards...

After receiving a positive reply from Tsunade Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Yue and his group focused on their journey.

After all, Uchiha Yue his group needed to reach the Yakunin Village in the Land of Medicine within a very short time. Therefore, they had almost no time to rest along the way, all for the sake of completing their mission to destroy the Yakunin Village. Fortunately, they did not encounter any more obstacles Uchiha Yue the Yakunin Village Uchiha Yue along the way, which allowed them some time to rest. Otherwise, by the time they arrived at the Yakunin Village Uchiha Yue, they would not have been able to continue fighting.

A day later, Uchiha Yue and the others finally arrived in the territory of Yakunin Village on time, and even sensed the Sunagakure ninjas guarding outside Yakunin Village.

However, seeing the serious demeanor of the Sunagakure ninjas, before Uchiha Yue could even speak, Tsunade sneered, saying, "What a Sunagakure! They're really planning to kill two birds with one stone! First, they lure our Konoha forces deep into the Land of Land of Medicine, then they make our forces fight those guys from the Yakunin Village, and finally, when we're both exhausted, they reap the benefits. It seems Shikaku's worries were indeed correct; if we want to wipe out the Yakunin Village, we first need to eliminate those Sunagakure guards!"

"Lady Tsunade, what should we do?"

When Tsunade, Kushina Uzumaki frowned and asked, "There are too many ninja from Sunagakure. It seems like we don't have a chance to eliminate them with just the few of us. I think we should return to the Land of Fire and wait for an opportunity to eliminate the Yakunin Village ninjas on the front lines first!"

"Hmph, impossible!"

Upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's suggestion, Tsunade snorted coldly and said, "Since those Sunagakure ninjas want to harm us, I'll make them pay the price! Kushina, you'll act with Minato tonight and provide cover for me! Tsuki, you just need to manage logistics; if anyone gets injured, help heal them!"

"As for those guys from Sunagakure..."

"I'll handle this all by myself!"

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Uchiha Yue, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki all tried to stop her, but Tsunade didn't give them a chance to speak. Then, Uchiha Yue and the others lay in ambush outside Yakunin Village for a full half hour, until night fell, when they finally prepared to Sunagakure Uchiha Yue guarding Yakunin Village.

Moreover, Uchiha Yue's mission was to accompany Tsunade and the others to first eliminate the Sunagakure ninjas ahead, then penetrate deep into Yakunin Village to completely annihilate Yakunin Village. Seeing the sheer number of Sunagakure and Yakunin Village ninjas, a hint of worry appeared in Uchiha Yue's eyes. However, Tsunade seemed completely oblivious to the worry in Uchiha Yue and the others; she was determined to go her own way, to kill the Sunagakure ninjas ahead and destroy Yakunin Village!

Only...

Just as Tsunade was about to give the order to attack, Uchiha Yue suddenly remembered something and tugged at Tsunade's sleeve.

Then, when Tsunade's gaze fell upon Uchiha Yue smiled slightly and said, "Master, I have an idea that can make those guys from Sunagakure and Yakunin Village kill each other!"
