January 9th, Konoha Year 29
Within the Senju Clan Compound territory of Konoha Land of Fire
After celebrating her birthday with Maki, who had returned from her journey, and Tsunade and her Aunt who were staying in the village, she...
the next day.
7:30 AM.
After completing her daily training, washing up, and changing into a black Combat Uniform, Uka Senju leisurely walked down the stairs and entered the restaurant.
" Aunt, Teacher, good morning!" Uka Senju greeted the two people who had already started their breakfast at the table as she sat down and began to eat.
Looking up at her disciple, Senju Tsukika, who had already completed her duties of guarding and teaching, gave her a gentle smile.
Of course, this is from the perspective of those who know them well.
If someone else saw that smile, combined with that face full of scars!
They really weren't sure if it was a good intention or a malicious one!
Hearing her nephew's greeting, Senju Toka didn't even bother to lift her head.
The fact that this thing is getting bigger and bigger has made her lose the joy of raising it when she was a child.
She didn't even know when it started, but she just couldn't stand anything about her nephew!
Ignoring her Aunt's attitude, Uka Senju started eating her breakfast by herself.
He knew perfectly well why he had offended his Aunt.
He had always been accompanied by Guard Unit.
This resulted in his dates with Tsunade and Maki consisting mainly of eating out and strolling around.
They reserved their intimate acts for their home, where the Guard Unit wouldn't be around!
Over time, despite the dog being fed an unlimited amount of dog food, the grand-nephew showed no signs of pregnancy.
This is the root cause of why he is becoming increasingly disliked by his Aunt.
But given the current situation, there's nothing he can do!
He's underage and not even married.
How could I possibly find her a grand-nephew?
Ignoring the minor family conflict between the aunt and niece, I watched Uka start cooking.
Senju Tsukika gentle voice, adorned with a smile, rang out. "This time, no one will be with you. Have you prepared everything?"
The study plan that she and her Clan devised for Uka has been largely completed after a year.
This led to her resignation from her positions as instructor of Jonin and head of the guards.
Of course, it would be a good thing for her to complete these positions as soon as possible.
Because nowadays, she really doesn't like to be out and about.
However, given the current situation of her Clan, she cannot allow such a powerful asset to remain idle.
That's why she relinquished her position as Uka and immediately took on other tasks assigned by the Clan!
Having understood the second layer of meaning from the teacher's question, he quickly finished eating the food in his mouth.
Uka Senju nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher, everything is ready. I'm not someone who just left the village anymore."
When I returned to the village last time, I learned from the teacher that the training was completed.
He had been preparing for complete independence.
Fortunately, after more than a year of missions and life of assassination attempts, he was able to overcome these challenges.
He has now grown accustomed to living in danger.
"Ha!" He expressed his opinion with the breath that came out of his nose.
After glancing at the person opposite her, Senju Toka continued eating her breakfast while saying, "Preparing the food is secondary; remember to bring your brain with you when you go out."
"There's no one to stand guard for you now, so stop spending all your Tenten flirting with that Inuzuka Clan!"
I heard the person on the other end bring up that incident again.
Uka Senju touched her nose somewhat awkwardly and gave up on refuting the idea.
There was nothing I could do; I was in the wrong.
Having been caught off guard, he had no choice but to listen carefully.
After the meal, I saw my Aunt and Teacher Tsukika off at the door.
After tidying up the kitchen, Uka Senju returned to her room and lay down again.
They agreed to meet at 10:00 AM today.
There are still two hours left; the assembly point is also at the main entrance of the Senju Council Hall.
So he, who was closest to him, continued to lie down and rest.
After going out today, there's really no telling when I'll be back.
That's perfect, since we have some free time.
Enjoy yourself in this comfortable and soft bed!
Thinking about the uncertain return date, he remembered the details of the mission he had learned in advance.
He sat up and rummaged through a box under the bed to find the letter.
He couldn't help but look forward to what it would be like to meet the person he hadn't seen for a year!
I lay there for about an hour and a half.
[Name: Uka Senju ]
[Age: 12 years old]
[Identity: Konoha, Senju Clan ]
[Strength: Elite Chunin ]

Uka Senju casually closed the system panel in front of her and got up to pack the things she needed to take with her on this trip.
After that conversation with my Aunt last year.
Wood Release's performance in battle and its efficiency in gathering abilities.
This led him to decide to choose Ninjutsu as his Jonin and Kage.
But if Ninjutsu is the chosen path, there's just so much to learn.
This makes his Taijutsu still the strongest aspect of his overall abilities, even after he learned Monster Strength!
Right now, he not only needs to find time to practice Ninjutsu to supplement his combat system.
I still need to find time to deepen my understanding of the two Nature Transformation of the Ninjutsu.
This has led to his current strength being stuck in a strange bottleneck period.
Based on experience and reality, only a second injection could allow one to break through physical limitations or master the two Nature Transformation.
Only then can he enter another period of rapid growth.
While pondering her own battle, Uka Senju packed the various Scroll on the table into her bag and fastened her belt.
Wood Release: Battle Armor Technique
Controlling the flow of Chakra within his body, he unleashed the earliest Ninjutsu he had ever created.
Stimulated by the Wood Release technique, the wooden belt around his waist rapidly grew and took shape, covering his body to form a dark green suit of armor.
Upon arriving downstairs, I retrieved two Hengdao from the entrance hall.
Although he is now tall enough to hang it around his waist, long-standing habit has led him to fix it to his back.
After all preparations were completed and everything was checked to ensure there were no errors,
Uka Senju activated his Chakra to empower himself and rushed towards the Senju council hall.
"They're here!"
Good morning, Uka-kun!
Woof woof!
The two people and their dog, who had just reached the entrance of the council chamber, noticed the commotion behind them.
Turning around, they saw the familiar faces of the newcomers and greeted them with smiles.
"Good morning!" Waving in response, Uka Senju smiled and said to her two comrades who had survived alongside her in assassinations and missions, "What a coincidence! Let's go in now!"
They all nodded in unison, and the two people and the dog, led by Uka, entered the Government Affairs Hall.
We followed the wooden corridor to the Clan Leader's Office.
"Knock knock knock!"
A knock sounded on the door, and I glanced at the clock hanging opposite.
Having guessed who it was, Senju Toka put down her pen and said softly, "Enter."
"Creak!"
A soft creaking sound came from the wooden door hinges.
Gate of Opening, Uka Senju led two teammates and Ninja Dog into the familiar room.
"Greetings, Senju Clan Head *3." Standing before the table, the three bowed and greeted him.
"Get up." He nodded and said casually from behind his desk.
Looking at the three little ones in front of him, especially his niece-in-law.
Senju Toka smiled, a smile she rarely showed Uka lately, and said, "I've seen the recommendation your teacher submitted."
"You've all grown so quickly to where you are now, excellent! The Clan is very satisfied!"
"So from today onwards, the three of you will begin carrying out missions independently. I hope that while completing your missions, you will also protect yourselves and contribute more to the Clan!"
Upon hearing this, the three bowed again and said, "Yes!"
After nodding and giving her instructions, Senju Toka took out three small notebooks and a Scroll from her drawer and handed them over, saying, "After careful consideration, Senju has decided to issue you Special Jōnin certificates."
"Your allowance levels will also be adjusted to this level."
"Your next task is recorded in the Scroll."
"You will be transferred to the South Battlefield to receive orders."
"Specific allocation details will be provided to you by the person in charge when they reach the South Battlefield."
"Yes, 3!" The three responded and quickly took the items and distributed them.
He glanced at the white-haired figure among the three, a figure he had recently grown to dislike.
Senju Toka really wanted to keep him in Senju and not let him leave.
But ultimately, you have to walk your own path in life.
The Guard Unit have now been withdrawn.
However, the support and protections provided by the Clan are quite substantial!
I just hope the little guy will be more mindful and careful while he's out there!
He withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the last member of his family's bloodline.
She picked up the pen beside her and continued working!
Seeing her Aunt's attitude, she handed the things to the two of them.
Uka Senju then bowed and led the two out of the office.
[Ding! Your strength has been upgraded to Special Jōnin!]
A familiar notification appeared at the corner of my eye.
Thinking back to a thought that had crossed his mind earlier, he felt that if he could achieve similar results this year as he did last year...
Then my idea can indeed be put into practice!
However, if we want to elaborate...
We can only place our hopes on the battlefields to come!
After observing that only three people and a dog were traveling near the Konoha Gate.
A Young Man Konoha Ninja in a patrol uniform said to his teammates, "You guys follow the route first, I'm going to the restroom."
"Yes, Captain!"
Nodding, the captain, dressed in patrol uniform, left the group and walked towards the public restroom not far away.
"Bang!"
After the partition door closed, he did not take off his pants to relieve himself.
The patrol captain first took out a piece of paper, wrote a short message on it, and then...
He quickly Hand Seals and summoned an eagle.
He stuffed the note into the eagle's body, which was covering its nose with its wings, and then took out two special pills and handed them over.
The Summoning Technique was dispelled as his own summoned beast gradually grew disgusted with him!
at the same time.
As the patrol captain ran to the restroom...
Near the gate of Konoha, there were about a dozen people who found excuses to leave the crowd and use their Ninjutsu in secluded places.
But everything at the entrance changed, and the movements of all the strange people were suspicious.
But it was all seen by several people standing on the high-rise building.
"Follow us, we'll wipe them all out once we figure out their composition!" said a middle-aged man dressed in Senju Combat Uniform.
Upon hearing the order, a person dressed in the same clothes but wearing a mask with irregular patterns bowed and said, "Yes!"
The words fell.
A series of faint flying sounds filled the air.
whoosh--
whoosh--
whoosh--
In just a few moments, half the people at the observation point were gone!
Leading his teammates, they swiftly traversed the boundless forests of the Land of Fire.
They traveled for about two hours.
Having fought together for a year and developed sufficient teamwork, the three stopped in their tracks and unleashed their prepared Ninjutsu.
Wood Release: Tree Spear
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave
Secret Technique: Spindle Technique
The sudden movement caught those following behind off guard, leaving them no time to stop.
Just as they were about to land, a long, dark green wooden spear sprouted from the Daiki as Wood Release Chakra was released.
Seeing this, the leader of the team, dressed in a black Combat Uniform, gray armor, and wearing a cat-face mask, quickly moved his hands.
Wind Release: Sky-Slicing Wave
Chakra rapidly transformed with the hand seals, and just as it was about to burst forth, he quickly aimed his palm at the point of impact.
"Call!"
A sudden gust of wind from his palm stopped his falling body.
While being thrown high into the air, he used the Wind Release released from the pressure points in his hands to change direction and land in a place behind him where there was no one to attack.
Because of the difference in strength between them and the leader, the two Ninja dressed similarly behind him did not have such quick reactions and speed.
When they noticed the unusual movement beneath their feet, they only had time to form the Substitution Seal.
"Bang"
White smoke billowed out, and the two people's positions transformed into two Substitution Wood.
They thought they could escape easily, but little did they know that the double had just successfully switched places with them.
A Wind Release and a swarm of black Mole quickly passed by the two of them.
"Knock knock knock!"
The wind blew, and so did the cloud of Mole.
The two people, who were just intact a moment ago, were instantly split into eight pieces.
It fell to the ground with a dull thud!
Having successfully escaped the deadly attack, the leading Ninja changed upon hearing the commotion, and he immediately had the idea of running away.
However, just as he had this idea...
Uka Senju, in the distance, also unleashed her second Wood Release Ninjutsu.
Wood Release: Tree Burial
"Puff puff puff!"
Amidst a series of earth-breaking sounds, those who had just entertained the idea of running away were surrounded by tree roots.
Because Uka Senju's Wood Release doesn't have the same powerful Chakra absorption ability as Hashirama Senju.
Therefore, this Ninjutsu was slightly modified in his hands.
Compared to the original, his Tree Burial usually closes up instantly after grabbing Ninja.
"Puff"
With a soft, muffled thud, streams of red liquid began to seep out from the cracks in the tree roots!
Upon seeing this result, Inuzuka Furin and Aburame Kaun put down their hands, which were still Hand Seals.
There was no discussion or instruction.
The two immediately moved away from their previous position and ran to the person who had been divided into eight groups to examine the composition of the enemy.
"People from the Root." Opening their mouths to reveal the mark on their tongues, Aburame Kaun, who possessed some knowledge of this information, spoke to the two.
Upon hearing this title, Uka Senju narrowed her eyes slightly.
This wasn't the first time they'd encountered Root.
It seems to have started since October of last year.
These annoying guys, under Danzo's arrangement, resumed surveillance on him.
According to my Aunt, it seems that it was because the Fifth Elder killed several squads of Ninja from Shimura?
Therefore, Danzo's surveillance of him never ceased from that time onward.
Unfortunately, the Cursed Seal could not be used to form evidence.
These people on the mission had no identification.
This meant that they couldn't take action openly, so the Senju could only target the Shimura Clan from the shadows.
And now he has only just left the village.
Danzo's men were right behind him?
These guys seem to be really persistent about their ideas!
After thinking for a moment, he went over and touched the two corpses.
[Energy +136]
[Energy +145]
Upon hearing the system success notification, Uka Senju waved her hand and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go!"
"These poor bastards don't have a single word on them, they're all Traps, no loot."
After saying that, he circulated his Chakra, jumped onto Daiki, and continued on his way.
Hearing this, Inuzuka Furin smiled and followed Uka with her Ninja Dog.
Standing up, Aburame Kaun, while circulating her Chakra up with her teammates, asked with a smile, "What's the deal with these guys from Root?"
Are they really that loyal to Danzo?
"Not only are they fearless on missions, but they also don't have any personal belongings on them?"
Ever since Uka brought back over a million worth of spoils the first time.
Faced with such substantial profits, he also developed the habit of looting corpses and plundering land.
However, despite his ability to gain something each time, he suffered a great loss against the Root.
These people carried nothing but combat gear.
Furthermore, those Ninja Tool Pouch containing combat supplies were all equipped with Traps!
This method of dealing with them has even destroyed their last remaining value.
He had painstakingly defeated several teams over the past year, and this was the result he had achieved.
That was incredibly frustrating!
"It must be the mark on the tongue, right?" Inuzuka Furin was constantly moving on the branches of the Daiki, guessed when she heard the question beside her.
Upon hearing this answer, Aburame Kaun who was moving, shook her head and said, "The Indians force obedience, but that doesn't stop these people from leaving without any personal belongings!"
He stepped on a tree branch, and with the help of Chakra, his body was thrown forward as he descended.
Hearing the discussion behind me, I thought of the plot I had witnessed in my past life and some of the information I had heard in this life.
With a smile, Uka Senju explained to the two, "These Root we've encountered have probably all been brainwashed."
"These people were subjected to extremely cruel training by Danzo."
"And with the addition of India, that's why they've become what they are!"
Having heard a new term from her friend, Aburame Kaun, asked with some confusion, "Brainwashing?"
How should I wash this?
What Ninjutsu should I use?
Upon hearing this, I realized that this term didn't exist in the Shinobi World.
After thinking for a moment, Uka Senju explained, "It's about cleansing the mind. I don't know of any Ninjutsu that can do that."
"I've heard of some common methods, but the best approach is still with children; all you need to do is repeatedly instill this knowledge!"
