Uchiha Xin decided to accept the mission. He knew it would not only test his strength, but also temper his will. He quickly returned home and began preparing for the upcoming assignment.
He first inspected his bladed tools. They were his companions in battle and symbols of his strength. He selected several sharp ninja blades and kunai, ensuring they could unleash their full power in combat. At the same time, he prepared several concealed weapons in case of emergencies.
Besides weapons, rations were also essential. He knew this mission might last a long time, and they could pass through barren regions where they would be unable to replenish their food supplies in time. Therefore, he packed ample rations and water, ensuring they had enough energy to face the challenges of the journey.
The merchant party consisted of only two people: the merchant himself and his capable subordinate. Though there were few of them, the mission was ranked A, meaning they would face considerable danger. Yet Uchiha Xin was unafraid. He believed his strength was enough to handle any challenge.
After accepting the mission, Uchiha Xin began making careful preparations. He checked his ninja tool pouch to ensure that weapons such as his ninja blades and kunai were as sharp as ever, while also preparing concealed weapons for emergencies. In addition, he packed enough rations and water, as well as necessary medical supplies, so he could handle all kinds of unexpected situations during the journey.
Before setting out, Uchiha Xin had a brief meeting with the merchant party. He learned that the merchant was named Sakata, a shrewd businessman, while his subordinate was a loyal and agile warrior. Although Sakata and his subordinate were somewhat worried about the mission, the calm confidence in Uchiha Xin's eyes gradually put them at ease.
