They rushed into the cave and killed the sleeping brown bear.
Take out a deodorizing ball and smash it on the ground.
Uka Senju then picked up today's dinner, stepped out of the cave, and began to prepare it.
He used a short knife to cut off more than 30 kilograms from various parts of his body that did not require much cleaning before burying the rest underground.
He lit a fire, took out the various items sealed in the Scroll, and started making the simplest roasted meat and rice.
It's not that they can't solve the problem with rice balls like other Ninja.
The three of them were very exhausted tonight, and the exhaustion is expected to be even greater tomorrow.
So I have to eat something nutritious tonight.
Otherwise, they won't have such a good opportunity to replenish their supplies when they reach the mission location tomorrow!
Twenty minutes later, the aroma of food wafted out.
Two people who were setting up security for the settlement also came into the cave.
As soon as you enter, you can smell the aroma of roasted meat.
Inuzuka Furin walked over to her Ninja Dog, took the clips from Uka's hand, and began to manipulate them.
Aburame Kaun loosened her armor and sat down on the ground beside the fire.
He was exhausted from traveling all night, but he was still thinking about setting up Traps outside and the situation mentioned on the note.
This prevented him from letting down his guard.
Only at this time, by his two teammates' side, could he rest in peace.
After Furin took over the task, Uka Senju picked up some dry firewood and started a fire.
Looking at Kaun, who was half-lying on the ground, having let down all his guard.
He chuckled and reminded her, "Dinner's almost ready, don't go straight to sleep."
If you don't eat this meal, you'll regret it tomorrow.
Hearing her friend's reminder, Aburame Kaun, with her eyes closed, slowly nodded.
Although eating makes it harder to fall asleep, not eating according to the plan will make me feel unwell tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and asked his two friends, "What do you think was the problem with this mission?"
"All I guessed along the way was that the man would have a lot of guards; I had no other clues."
Upon hearing this question, Inuzuka Furin was grilling meat, said softly, "Could it be the time?"
"The time allotted by the teacher for this task was unreasonable and too rushed."
After speaking, she glanced at the person beside her while continuing with her work.
He used Chakra to dry the two pieces of wood in his hands and stuffed them into the fire.
Uka Senju chuckled and said, "Yes, but this task isn't the teacher's real purpose."
"The target's identity is likely not simple, so once we make our move, our information will be leaked."
"The situation in the Land of Rivers is also very complicated. If I'm not mistaken, the real trouble won't arrive until after this mission is over."
This was his deduction based on the situation during the third mission, the location of the fourth mission, and the state of power in the vicinity of the Land of Rivers.
The previous missions were on the South Battlefield, which has been under the control of the Senju for so long.
Anyone who poses a threat to him at this stage would know this information.
The teacher has no right to force the First Elder to open the door.
After all, their responsibilities and duties are different.
The First Elder would absolutely not take the blame for the teacher should something go wrong.
Therefore, if they stay in the South, it will be difficult to achieve the desired results for the teacher.
The Earth and Lightning factions are chaotic enough, but that's Hiruzen Sarutobi's territory.
After much deliberation, the only option left is the area near the Land of Rivers.
There are Senju, Hyūga, Ino -Ino-Shika-Cho, and a small number of Uchiha.
And the Land of Wind and other small organizations and individuals.
It's chaotic enough, but also safe enough.
If someone with superhuman abilities really comes along...
The teachers can also mobilize various forces in Konoha to provide support.
But if they don't come to the limit, wait until they complete their mission and the news spreads.
That's when the real trouble for Uka and the other two will begin.
One hundred million!
He's still just a kid, not even Jonin.
This allure will draw in waves of people who are driven by money.
Yes, one hundred million.
This was the latest price he knew before leaving the village.
The 60 million that Asakura's third-in-command asked for was last year's price.
At the time, he actually just wanted to help correct it.
However, he later realized there was no point in talking to these dead people, so he didn't argue.
Upon hearing Uka's perspective, the two of them frowned and pondered for a moment.
After a long silence, Aburame Kaun nodded in agreement and said, "What you said is very likely, it might even be the truth."
"Looks like I need to eat more. We might not be able to enjoy ourselves like this until we leave the vicinity of the Land of Rivers!"
Upon hearing this, the other two smiled helplessly.
Why is this friend's focus always so strange?
Shouldn't you be thinking about how to deal with all the trouble and assassinations that will follow?
Picking up the wooden tray beside her, Inuzuka Furin used tongs to scoop up the already baked portion.
Instead of doing what she usually did, she handed it to the person with the eccentric way of thinking first, "Then you can start eating today!"
Eat more, so you won't miss it in the next few days.
Hearing her friend's teasing, Aburame Kaun, readily agreed, nodding and saying, "Okay!"
After speaking, he was stared at by wide, Brown and White eyes.
He immediately began binge eating.
It took an hour for the three of them and their dog to finish over 30 kilograms of meat and a large pot of rice.
Satisfied, Uka Senju manipulated her Wood Release to create a large vine net at the cave entrance, covering the entire opening.
Then, he used Wood Release Chakra to stimulate the plants inside the cave to grow wildly.
After spreading the fire throughout the entire cave, he stopped, squatted down, and rubbed the dog's head, instructing, " Brown and White, just watch this fire and don't move it."
"Just yell if there's a problem, and we'll react. Don't be afraid even if you're attacked with large-scale Ninjutsu from the outside."
"Remember, you must never leave the wooden plank under your feet."
Hearing the instructions, the Brown and White dog nodded quickly.
Seeing that they understood her meaning, Uka Senju got up and told the two of them to rest.
All three of them need to sleep tonight to adjust their condition in order to deal with various problems that may arise later.
Therefore, the task of guarding the area had to be left to the Ninja Dog.
Of course, they are resting now, and the Ninja Dog will also be there when they travel tomorrow.
It was carried on Uka Senju's back during the journey for a rest.
This method was confirmed after discussion among the three of them.
That's why the two of them had set up warning Traps on the perimeter for so long.
In addition to Ninja Dog and Traps, Uka also used Wood Release creations to build a cave.
This way, even if the enemy avoids the Traps and the Ninja Dog' detection,
Faced with this third layer of defense, the enemy will have no choice but to reveal their presence.
Because without breaking the third barrier, the enemy simply cannot harm the people inside.
Of course, the Masked Man can smuggle himself through time and space, but there isn't such a person yet, right?
