As Uka moved, the aroma from the pot gradually wafted out.

As the temperature inside the cave rose, Senju Tsukika, who had been resting, gradually regained consciousness.

Watching the boy's movements by the fire, and smelling the slightly burnt aroma.

With a slight smile, she softly instructed, "Don't let the spoon sink to the bottom while stirring, or it will be completely inedible."

After saying that, she got up, took out her toiletries, and walked straight to the cave entrance.

Hearing the teacher's words, and seeing the black spots that had already appeared in the pot...

Uka Senju had hardly ever been in a kitchen in either of her lives, nodded.

He immediately picked up the spoon that had sunk to the bottom and began to follow the instructions given by his teacher.

Stepping out of the cave, feeling the slightly chilly morning air, we quickly washed up in a stream not far from our rest stop.

Senju Tsukika returned to the warm cave with the items in her hands.

Looking at the boy sitting by the fire, she tidied her belongings and asked softly, "How does it feel to be away from home for the first time?"

Upon hearing the teacher's question, Uka Senju thought for a moment and replied, "Although it was only for one day and I only completed one task, the rewards were unparalleled in the village."

"Aside from being a little tired, everything else is fine. I can adapt."

These are his true feelings, whether it's about energy or Ninja experience.

The difference between inside and outside the village is like night and day.

Just like the energy collected yesterday.

That number.

Without a bumper harvest in the village every month, it would be impossible to achieve this.

As for Ninja experience, it's the same; no matter how much they practice within the village...

Deep down, they both knew the other person wouldn't really hurt them.

Therefore, when making moves and choices, there will be subconscious wishful thinking and negligence.

Meanwhile, outside, on a mission.

It's either you kill someone or someone kills you.

The place where life and death are experienced is where growth happens the fastest.

This is the fundamental reason why all Clan arrange for their talented descendants to gain experience.

You can't raise a true dragon by simply raising it; without experiencing trials and tribulations, it will only become a shiny-on-the-outside piece of trash.

After putting her personal belongings into Scroll, Senju Tsukika sat down by the fire.

Looking at the large bonfire that Uka had created, she took out a Scroll from her Ninja Tool Pouch.

It was passed over in the flickering Kakkō.

I received what the teacher gave me, under her scrutinizing gaze.

Uka Senju spread it out on her lap and began to examine it carefully.

Task Level: C

Task type: Cleaning.

Quest Token: 3 intact heads of bandit leaders.

Mission Location: Akizuki Castle, the third mountainside from the east Asakura Stronghold the Fukuyama Mountains, thirty miles east of Qiuyue City.

Mission Details: According to intelligence, the mountain stronghold has a total strength of 500: 400 able-bodied men and 100 women, elderly people, and children. The able-bodied men are each led by one of the three leaders. Most of the able-bodied men have mastered basic martial arts techniques. Besides the leaders, there are four people who require attention: three are the leaders' martial arts representatives, and one is the wife of the chief leader...

Client: Fukuyama Village.

Seeing the students begin to inspect the fire, Senju Tsukika, while using Kunai just taken out to bury food inside, softly said to them, "You did a good job on yesterday's mission."

"The battle plan was also excellent; everyone played to their strengths."

"I've taught you everything I needed to, so you'll be in charge of arranging this second task from start to finish!"

"The only requirement is that this mission must be completed before sunset tomorrow night."

After speaking, she continued working, waiting for the students' replies.

According to the Clan arrangements and his own teaching plan.

The way these three children are taught is much faster than that of other children.

Others can follow their teacher on missions and gradually learn and grow until their strength reaches Chunin or higher.

However, Uka Senju and the other two were not as capable, because their strength had already surpassed this stage.

However, external circumstances do not allow Wood Release to develop too slowly.

So for the three of them, the only thing they lack right now is experience.

Before she left the village, her Clan knew about the teaching plan and gave her the right to make her own decisions!

If she agrees, then Uka and the other two can immediately begin their individual missions.

Of course, "alone" here refers to her serving as a guard and teacher.

That is, she only plays her proper role at the end of each mission.

The process begins with critiquing the three individuals' performance throughout the day, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and then providing solutions or methods for improvement.

At other times, she would just stand by and watch like a wooden statue.

The teacher's instructions and the problems I noticed yesterday connected in my mind.

Uka Senju nodded as if she suddenly understood, accepting her teacher's decision.

I readily agreed, firstly because there was no other way to refuse!

Secondly, he felt that this suited his own taste.

A teacher's hands-off approach to education will definitely lead to a much faster growth rate than a nanny-style approach!

Therefore, there is no need to refuse or refute it.

The only downside to letting go is that you have to be extremely careful.

In the following tasks, you will need to make all the decisions yourself.

Seeing that the student was quite sensible and had no objections, he looked at the white-haired boy opposite him through the flickering Kakkō.

After burying the food, Senju Tsukika discarded the dusty Kunai, deciding to give the sensible person a temporary reward.

So, she smiled and said softly, "The information for the second mission was provided by the client, and the type is the same as yesterday's—cleaning."

"But we don't need as many credentials as yesterday, so it's up to you whether you choose infiltration and assassination or a frontal assault!"

"However, remember not to damage those three required documents; bring them back intact!"

Hearing the teacher's words, Uka Senju nodded in understanding.

Yes, there are only three requirements.

Then we could easily solve the problem quietly, just like we did yesterday when we sneaked into the mansion.

This way, things can be done less and more simply.

However, only the leader was dealt with.

What if they choose another leader after they leave?

Wouldn't Fukuyama Village have wasted its money?

If I remember correctly, the price difference between clearing the entire content and just clearing the leader isn't that big!

Did entrusting the task to the village chief already deplete all the funds of the client Fukuyama Village?

If that's the case, the whole village is so poor.

Those nobles of Akizuki Castle and Asakura Stronghold are really ruthless!

Otherwise, how could the entire village not be able to gather enough people?

As time passed, the cave gradually filled with the aroma of meat porridge.

The remaining two people and one dog who were still resting also woke up.

After a quick wash and breakfast, Uka Senju told her teammates about the tasks and changes the teacher had given her that morning.

"So when do you think we should set off?" Aburame Kaun, now dressed in a gray Combat Uniform and large gray sunglasses, put down the mission Scroll in her hand and asked.

Hearing her companion's question, Inuzuka Furin, who was wearing a black Combat Uniform and had been pondering with her two willow-leaf Inuzuka Furin furrowed, also looked up curiously at the white-haired boy.

After listening to Uka's account of the mission and changes...

She had already started examining the map and calculating the travel time.

"I just don't know what Uka-kun will choose!"
