Noticing their gazes, he thought about the route he had studied that morning and the teacher's requirements.
Uka Senju frowned and stroked her chin, saying, "The teacher requires it to be before sunset tomorrow; there's plenty of time and distance."
"But I think it's best to finish the mission tonight at the latest. We can choose to infiltrate under the cover of darkness or confront them head-on."
"If we wait until tomorrow, it will be too difficult to infiltrate during the day. The most likely option left is a direct assault."
So, should we hurry on our way?
Upon hearing this arrangement, Aburame Kaun sitting cross-legged with her arms crossed, pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's good. This way, we have more options and time to deal with unexpected situations."
"However, I suggest everyone manage their energy levels on the way or take a rest once you arrive."
"Otherwise, I'll just have to watch you fight again."
He shrugged helplessly when this was mentioned.
Because of the teacher's requirements and the need to get to work, he slacked off for the entire first task.
Although I had already made up my mind to intensify my physical training again.
But this won't improve in just a few days.
Since there was plenty of time for this mission, he wanted to feel a sense of participation.
Upon hearing Kaun's suggestion, he turned his gaze to Furin, who had remained silent beside him.
He gently shook his head, offering no further comment.
Uka Senju immediately made a decision and explained his plan, "I did some preliminary calculations, and I plan to travel at the same pace as yesterday afternoon."
"There will be an hour for lunch and rest at noon, so we can arrive at Fukuyama Village around 4 PM."
"After a two-hour break, around 6 PM, during sunset and dinner time, we can also confirm the information with the client again."
This plan was based on the two men's condition and the distance on the map yesterday.
Choosing the afternoon mode would minimize their encounters with people and other situations along the way, allowing them to better conceal their tracks.
Of course, he didn't intend to be as strict as the teacher had asked yesterday.
Intermittent cover-ups are enough to eliminate their situation.
The teacher was so strict yesterday because it was for their own teaching purposes.
Even a normal Ninja wouldn't be so cautious and overly respectful on the road for several hours at a time, even when on a secret mission.
Upon hearing Uka's arrangement, the two nodded in unison.
Inuzuka Furin smiled and said to those around her, "So... shall we begin preparing to depart now?"
"Okay!" Aburame Kaun immediately stood up and replied upon hearing this.
He watched as Kaun began to walk to the side and put on his armor.
Uka Senju pointed to the campfire and said with a smile to the girl beside her, "Teacher made some good stuff this morning, want to take a look?"
Hearing this, I glanced at the teacher across from me who hadn't uttered a sound or smiled.
Inuzuka Furin smiled as she picked up the dusty Kunai from the ground.
They started digging at the spot Uka pointed out.
In just a few moments, several black lumps appeared in the ashes.
Long, slender fingers pinched one of them and cut it open.
Smelling the fragrance, she looked at the boy with some surprise and asked, "The Western Head Regiment?"
Seeing the joy in those big eyes, Uka Senju smiled and nodded.
Upon receiving confirmation, Furin turned to her teacher with a happy expression and thanked her, "Thank you, Teacher Tsukika."
Although the teacher didn't say that this was prepared just for her.
But of the four people present, only he liked this thing.
Teacher and Uka can eat, but they eat very little, while Kaun can't even eat much.
So after confirming, she immediately thanked the person who had prepared it.
Seeing the happy child, Senju Tsukika nodded slightly and accepted her gratitude.
She was very satisfied and pleased with the only female trainee's personality, appearance, and performance during the mission.
I thanked the teacher and tasted what was in my hand.
Inuzuka Furin teased the silent person in the corner, " Uka-kun, how about we skip cooking lunch and just eat this?"
Hearing this, Yu Nu Jia Aburame Kaun, immediately retorted, "No way! You can eat this stuff, but Uka, the teacher, and I still need to eat normal food!"
He just couldn't understand why girls would like this thing.
That taste, that texture!
How can anyone eat that?
Even if he starves to death, he definitely won't eat it.
Looking at those who were bristling with anger and objecting.
Uka Senju smiled and nodded at the Furin in a very cooperative manner.
Seeing this ally turn against him, he recalled the vow he had just made to himself.
Aburame Kaun quickly turned to her teacher as an ally.
While Uka Senju and the others were playfully joking around as they began their second mission.
Inside a minimalist stone house in the center of Ihyo Castle, the South Battlefield Command Headquarters.
The main seat is directly opposite the entrance.
An elderly man with gray hair and a robust build, dressed in a black Combat Uniform and wearing red arm armor, frowned slightly and pondered after hearing his subordinate's report.
The Clan told him to pick out any disobedient ones in the neighborhood and beat them up.
However, the conflict between the Senju and the village became public, and the Trade Association monopolized the docks.
Several disobedient ones suddenly emerged.
They all felt that Senju's sword was no longer effective.
Because of these people, the Trade Association also sent a message asking people to say that there are now many messages of dissatisfaction with the Senju' monopoly at the dock.
So, should we kill them all while we're at it, or pick a big rooster and kill it to show the monkey what will happen next?
If we kill them all, how can we mitigate the subsequent consequences?
How should these occupied territories be governed?
Should it be handed over to the Land of Fire, or should it be managed by ourselves?
You should have objections to me taking charge of the Land of Fire's Daimyō!
But right now, the various tribes don't have enough manpower to manage themselves.
But are all these things being handed over to the Daimyō?
That's such a loss...!
Thinking of this, the person in the head seat frowned even more deeply.
While he was pondering...
The Fifth Elder, who had also listened to the report, noticed that the Chief remained silent for a long time.
He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and immediately shouted in a loud voice, "Boss, what are you thinking, frowning like that?!"
"If these things dare to jump, then we'll just wipe them all out."
"Whether they're leaders or pawns, send their entire families to the Pure Land, and then no one will dare to complain!"
"They'll only talk today, if you put up with it, they'll dare to piss on your head tomorrow."
"Yes, it's right above you, all of you. They definitely wouldn't dare come here."
As he finished speaking, he patted his chest with considerable pride.
It was as if they were celebrating their own power.
Because up until this point, some people were jumping in front of the First Elder, some were jumping in front of Inuzuka Elder, and some were jumping in front of Elder Aburame.
But no one has ever dared to jump over him!
My thoughts were abruptly cut short by a heavy slap.
The chief First Elder was somewhat annoyed, looking at the person who had written a long, scathing satire of them and seemed quite pleased with himself.
But after hearing the Fifth Elder's sarcasm, and considering this person's situation...
He suddenly realized that what Lao Wu said made sense.
Because these guys have never actually contacted Lao Wu.
Even when they saw the fifth brother, they still had smiles on their faces.
However, hitting it is easy.
But there will be trouble afterwards!
