The season when winter transitions into spring.
Although it gets dark earlier than in winter, it still doesn't get as late as in summer!
6:35 PM.
It is located in the Yamanaka, a five-hour drive from the border town for the average person.
Inside a cave enveloped by a Wood Release creation.
After finishing all the important tasks without stopping, the three people and the dog finally sat down to rest by the fire.
They spent ten minutes cleaning up the battlefield.
With the help of the Mole and the Ninja Dog, the floating treasure was basically looted.
Then, they immediately spent another twenty minutes traveling to choose a battlefield.
This time, the mountain they stayed in was no longer the kind of place with little vegetation they had visited before.
Instead, they chose a place with dense forest.
The environment here provides a significant advantage to Uka, who possesses Wood Release techniques.
Of course, it won't have a significant impact on the other two.
After confirming the location, while it was still relatively bright...
The three then spent another five minutes setting up multiple Traps around the battlefield.
This time, it's no longer just a simple warning.
Some of them were also lethal.
Although it's still uncertain whether the enemy will come, it's never a bad thing to be prepared.
"Woof woof!" Brown and White, who hadn't set any Traps and had gone to bed earlier than the others, urged the people beside them on.
This time, without using a friend's translator, Aburame Kaun understood the little guy's cries from his expressions and actions.
She raised her hand to stop Furin, who was about to discipline her dog.
Leaning back to the side, he chuckled and took a Scroll from his Ninja Tool Pouch, tossing it over.
"Since you're in such a hurry, the inventory work will be assigned to you."
"Remember not to sort them incorrectly! One card will be deducted from your account for every wrong one!"
He just looked up and caught the Scroll with his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Brown and White immediately spat it onto the ground again.
It's a dog and hasn't learned arithmetic.
It recognizes numbers one through ten.
But it won't work for more than that.
They clearly agreed that if you put in the effort, you'd get seven big ones.
It had already decided what else to buy, so why is it starting to calculate the cost now?
Even if the calculation is wrong, I still have to deduct the penalty?
Isn't this bullying a dog?
So it freed its mouth and immediately started arguing with Kaun.
Amidst the sounds of a person and a dog exchanging words.
Knowing that the two were just fooling around, Inuzuka Furin stopped interfering.
Instead, she got up, took things out of her bag, and began preparing dinner.
Nearby, I heard a person and a dog arguing, and I saw the Furin moving.
Uka Senju then remained lying on the ground, resting and recovering.
Today's mission was very rewarding, in addition to the experience gained from the First Shinobi World War with the Jonin.
The system notifications kept ringing, but I hadn't had a chance to check them before because I was too busy.
Taking advantage of this moment, he opened the system panel with a thought.

The system panel above showed changes as he learned more Ninjutsu.
He glanced at the recent stats and noticed that his Taijutsu had increased by 10 points because of today's First Shinobi World War?
This unexpected situation made him carefully recall the battle he had fought that day.
Even though it only lasted a few minutes today, that Jonin is already dead.
But that was caused by his and Furin's combined attack; both of them are the strongest in terms of Taijutsu!
Thinking of those rapid, high-quality exchanges and the improvement in his data, he couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that only evenly matched life-or-death battles can truly maximize the scope of my strength improvement!"
It's important to know that mastery represents the level of Jonin ).
In other words, his Taijutsu skills are now good enough to try and earn him the title of Special Jōnin Taijutsu.
Why is the strength section of the system panel still Chunin?
Having had this thing for so many years, he's figured out a few things about it.
Changes in the system's strength panel are calculated based on all aspects.
The assessment of one's own strengths and influence, as well as the assessment from the outside world, are all indispensable and must be considered together.
If a single point is highlighted, unless it is highlighted to a certain extent, the overall score will not be able to pull it into the relevant category.
Even his promotion from Genin Chunin was only completed in the last few days.
Therefore, he only used the system's strength section as a reference.
Through this, he can see some changes in the outside world; they may not be many, but they are still very useful!
Habitually, Uka Senju clicked the plus sign on the Ninjutsu bar and found that there wasn't much change since the last check. She then focused her attention on the energy bar!
Seeing the numbers double in just a few days, he couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration!
Since the last time I used up all my energy using Wood Release).
During his year and a half in the village, he only amassed a little over 80,000 energy points.
Since cultivation took up most of his time, he could only collect materials during the three-day weekends on the seventh day of each month.
We can't use all three days for frying fish, because we need to control the number of times to avoid going too far.
This means he only goes a maximum of twice a month!
Even with careful and frugal spending, it only took a year and a half to accumulate a little over 80,000.
Comparing his gains over the past few days since leaving the village, he could only sigh helplessly.
If he had had this speed from the beginning, he wouldn't only have one Kekkei Genkai Wood Release now.
In just a few days, he completed four missions involving over two thousand people, absorbing the energy of seventeen or eighteen hundred of them, totaling nearly one hundred thousand units of energy!
If we calculate it this way, after a year... I'm afraid that besides the Sage Body, I'll also have more than half Sage Eyes!
However, this is just wishful thinking.
Judging from the current changes in the mission, it seems that his path to great success may be about to be interrupted.
The next mission will most likely not target ordinary people, but rather be aimed at Ninja.
Although Ninja have high individual energy values, how can their numbers and cost-effectiveness compare to a regular C-rank cleanup mission?
"Damn, Uka Furin, it seems we've landed a big fish this time!" Aburame Kaun exclaimed as she looked at the Scroll in front of her.
Upon hearing this, Furin, who was cooking, and Uka, who was resting with her eyes closed, quickly looked at their friend.
Noticing their gazes, Aburame Kaun each tossed a Scroll to one of them, saying, "Those wagons were all loaded with grain, but these Scroll that Brown and White found contain Ninja resources!"
After he finished speaking, he watched as the two of them, somewhat bewildered, accepted the Scroll.
Knowing what puzzled him, he smiled helplessly and explained, "Back then, time was tight and the task was heavy, so I didn't have time to check them one by one. It was only when that money-grubbing Brown and White was showing off his credit that I remembered these Scroll."
"Upon closer inspection, besides a few misleading grain Scroll, there were also four weapons, three Military Rations Pill, and two Ninja resource Scroll inside."
"It seems our mission has a rather serious problem!"
