Kurama Shimei was one of the children on Kurama and his Clan's training list.
What happens next in the Mixed Squadron will be another test and experience for this child!
Hearing what was said behind the desk, Kurama Shimei was also taken aback.
He and his two teammates thought they would be continuing the mission as a three-person independent team.
Unexpectedly, he was promoted to Company Commander in one fell swoop?
But when the Appointment Letter was handed to him, he was slightly stunned. Upon seeing it, he immediately bowed and accepted it, saying, "Yes, sir!"
He returned to his original position and looked at the appointment File in his hand.
He could sense the surprise and stares of his two teammates beside him.
So the three of them quietly began to inspect the area!
The Middle Unit currently has a total of 27 members, divided into nine squads.
The weakest members of the team were the 11 Genin; the rest were newly promoted to Chunin.
There are nine squad leaders in total: four Elite Chunin, four Chunin, and one Jonin!
The entire Middle Unit consisted of teenagers of similar age to the three men.
As for the names, they are clearly various code names!
Such as Yama Five, Yama Three, Tora Four, Tora Six, etc.
Upon reviewing the personnel information, the three of them immediately understood the origins of these individuals!
As someone who spent several months on a mission as a child in what was formerly the Land of Bears, now the Land of Forests.
They had learned some information about the Clan's publicly disclosed bases.
After announcing the arrangements for the two teams, one on the left and one on the right.
Senju Toka flipped through the papers in her hand and focused her gaze on the third sheet.
As she read aloud, she tossed a Scroll toward the white-haired boy in the middle.
"Based on the Clan's comprehensive considerations, the Wood Release Squad has been upgraded to Middle Unit."
After a brief remark, he put down the File in his hand.
She leaned back slightly, leaving the desk and resting in the chair behind her.
Upon seeing this, Uka Senju and the other ten people who received the Scroll immediately understood its meaning.
They bowed in unison, took their leave, and departed the office.
"Snap!"
The sound of the door locking echoed.
Looking around at the crowd of people who hadn't left after going out.
Uka Senju asked softly, "Are you planning to have a private gathering, or shall we go have lunch together now?"
These two teams have officially disbanded today.
But they were part of a squad, and the squad had essentially disbanded!
So he really couldn't figure out what these guys meant.
Upon hearing this question, the group exchanged glances.
Wearing gray armor, Senju Fukami spoke up, "Let's get together. We still have a month of rest, and the team can get together sometimes."
"But we might not be able to get everyone together like this again after today!"
The person representing the majority has finished speaking.
Meeting Uka's gaze, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright!" Uka Senju took out the piece of paper given to her by the Front Line from her Ninja Tool Pouch, handed it to her teammates, and then asked everyone, "So, which house are you planning to go to?"
What do you want to eat?
Upon hearing this, Kurama Shimei said softly, "The best places for a gathering are barbecue, sashimi, and teppanyaki. Which restaurant are you planning to go to?"
"Let's go eat barbecue!" Hatake Kobun suggested.
"Yes, yes, we're so tired of sashimi in the Land of Bears!" Yūhi Shinku agreed.
The Land of Land of Bears is not large in area, and it is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
Fortunately, the Capital was not far from the sea.
So during their few months there, they ate all kinds of seafood!
This led to everyone disagreeing with seafood and similar products after Shimei proposed three options.
After a few quiet discussions, everyone unanimously decided on the barbecue.
As for the shop they chose, they opted for a well-established shop with moderate prices on the street in Senju.
Not a high-priced place like Akimichi!
After confirming, Uka Senju addressed the group, saying, " Kaun, you can go to the finance office with Brother Fukami and the others to collect the reward for this mission."
"Then you guys go over there and order your food. I need to ask you something, I'll be there in a bit!"
Upon hearing this, Aburame Kaun had just received the paper, immediately nodded.
After bidding their farewells, everyone walked out of the Government Affairs Hall.
When the team members disappeared into the nearest corner.
Uka Senju lowered her hand, withdrew her gaze, and opened the office door again.
"Snap!"
The sound of the lock clicking shut rang out.
I watched my relative get up from behind the desk.
Uka Senju quickly stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged her tightly.
He rested his head on the shoulder of his only remaining relative in the Shinobi World, his voice filled with longing as he said, " Aunt, it's been so long!"
This was the first time he hadn't seen this person in front of him for so long, someone he'd known since birth.
I didn't notice anything wrong when I was out.
But on his way back, he missed his blood relative terribly!
She held her nephew, who was almost as tall as her, in her arms.
Upon hearing the words in her ear, Senju Toka smiled and rubbed her white hair on her shoulder.
This is the first time I've been away from home for so long since this little one was born!
When the little guy is hovering around in front of her, she really finds him quite annoying.
But after so long apart, she missed him terribly!
He patted his nephew on the back and led him to the reception area to sit down.
Looking at my nephew, who has grown up a lot in appearance and temperament compared to a few years ago.
Senju Toka smiled and said, "After the dinner party, go home early. We'll have dinner together tonight!"
The people's voices were very soft just now.
But for Ninja like her, hearing the whole thing was not difficult.
Looking at this relative whose eyes already show some wrinkles.
Uka Senju nodded repeatedly in agreement with the other party's arrangement!
If it weren't for the fact that the team members had been together for several months and had a very good relationship...
He doesn't want to leave his Aunt's side now!
After finishing her personal matters, Senju Toka changed the subject and began to explain to her nephew the arrangements that had not been clearly explained when there were many people around!
" Your Aunt is very happy that you were able to break through to Jonin within the time allotted by the Clan, Second Elder and the others are also very pleased."
"But you know the Clan's current situation, so you can't stop for another month like they did!"
Upon hearing this, she learned what her Clan thought of her.
Taking out the Scroll her Aunt had given her earlier, Uka Senju said, "Don't worry, Aunt, I understand."
"Is this the new mission the Clan has given us?"
He had just received them but hadn't had time to examine them yet.
Now that my Aunt is right in front of me, it's more convenient to just ask her directly than to look at her.
He nodded, confirming his nephew's question.
Senju Toka's smile faded as she picked up a teapot and poured water for her nephew and herself, saying, "This contains information about your Middle Unit. Besides those selected, the Clan has also assigned Kenchū Senju to you!"
"His squad of three are all Jonin their Clan. You need to have a plan in mind regarding how to utilize them!"
"The remaining eight squads consisted of individuals specifically selected by their Clan from a larger base."
"They will also be loyal to you and the Clan; you can decide how to use them!"
"The personnel have now been taken over by Kenchū Senju; you should meet with them no later than tomorrow."
"Make sure you write down all the information, and have a plan in mind about who is suitable for what kind of work!"
Having the dual roles of Aunt and group leader, she explained everything that needed to be said about her dual roles to her nephew.
Listening to her Aunt's explanation, a look of understanding flashed in Uka Senju's eyes.
Kenchū Senju's team consisted of three Jonin, a form of protection from his Clan.
The other eight are squads trained at the base!
If they are specially selected by the Clan, then there is no need to worry about their talent, loyalty, or overall quality.
Otherwise, how could it be worthy of having these words specially chosen?
As for loyalty to herself and her Clan, Aunt put herself first.
This means that these people were taught that loyalty to oneself came before loyalty to the Clan.
In other words, if he could subdue these people...
That would be the support my Clan would provide!
Of course, if you're not capable enough, you won't be able to subdue them.
With the Clan involved, there's no need to worry about the loyalty of these people!
But as the old saying goes, there are all sorts of strange and wonderful things without any particular school.
Within the Senju or Clan Alliance, everyone is focused on the common goal of unification.
However, each party still has its own distinct interests!
The Aunt and her Clan were unaware of their own trump cards and the final state of the world.
Based on their experience, this kind of arrangement for themselves is already the limit!
Now it's time to accept the arrangements and gradually provide feedback to the Clan!
Whether it's the increase in strength, the performance in missions, or the inheritance of the Wood Release bloodline.
These are all things that can provide a great deal of positive feedback to the Clan Alliance.
Currently, it is still in the stage of investment and covert warfare.
But we still need to show those who follow the Senju or the Shinobi Clan the advantages of our Clan's victory!
Otherwise, once the open conflict begins, and news of numerous sacrifices is relayed back...
The human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp, no matter the world!
The people produced in the training base are controlled by harsh methods such as Cursed Seal.
But allies and clansmen cannot be bound together in this way.
The Senju and Sarutobi factions have reached this point.
Whether it's external or internal, it's a matter of east wind or west wind.
The deadly battle between the two sides was not just about force alone!
Seeing her nephew's expression, Senju Toka handed him a cup of tea and continued, "The missions recorded in there require you to quickly master your own Middle Unit."
"Then bring along the rest of the Clan members to complete it!"
"In short, the mission is a request for assistance from an organization."
"Those who are on our side are now at a disadvantage; you need to eliminate all those who are on the other side."
"Help up those who are on our side and tie them to the ship!"
This was the first task she gave to her nephew, who was to become the Company Commander, after selecting him.
Although my nephew's Wood Release is no match for that of Hashirama Senju, the clan leader.
But just based on the reputation of Wood Release, it has attracted the attention of countless people both inside and outside the world.
Just like the news that this little guy broke through to the Jonin at the age of 12.
The Clan Alliance has successfully recruited another Small Shinobi Clan that was no longer neutral!
It's important to understand that the name of the Shinobi Clan isn't something that can be earned simply by having many descendants.
Each of the Jonin Clan in Konoha has its own unique characteristics and special skills.
They may not be considered Kekkei Genkai or Secret Technique Clan, but they are by no means comparable to ordinary Ninja!
Without a lineage spanning several hundred years, one Jonin clan in the Shinobi World!
Although my Aunt did not provide general information about the mission.
But the key points of this task have already been outlined for him.
Following her Aunt's advice, Uka Senju began to examine the details of the mission within the Scroll.
Task Level: A~S
Mission type: Resource contention.
Mission objective: Complete the cleansing and restore the Merchant Ninja Organization to normalcy.
Mission Location: Red Province Island and Seven Grass Island, Southwest overseas.
Mission Details: The former leader of the Merchant Ninja Organization was assassinated. After his death, the Merchant Ninja Organization split into two factions. One faction, led by the deceased leader's son, went into exile, while the other faction, led by the deceased leader's disciple, took over most of the Merchant Ninja's power.
The late leader's disciple has now severed all cooperation with the Clan and rejected the Clan's goodwill, instead establishing close ties with Sarutobi's side!
The turmoil in Merchant Ninja has caused the Clan to suffer losses in key resources such as medicinal herbs...!
Client: Miyako Kōmei of the leader of the Clan Alliance and Merchant Ninja Leader.
Seeing this information and combining it with her Aunt's words, Uka Senju immediately knew who the enemies were this time.
Most of the current Merchant Ninja Organization needs to be purged, but their biggest enemy is Sarutobi's faction.
He simply couldn't believe that the death of the leader, Merchant Ninja, wasn't orchestrated by Sarutobi's side.
Although it wasn't written in the Scroll, my Aunt's words made it clear: 'Those who are on our side are at a disadvantage!'
This clearly reveals the core elements and essence of Merchant Ninja's previous actions.
In such a situation, if the organization's leader is assassinated, even the most audacious disciple of the new leader would be at risk.
Where does he get the audacity to reject the Clan and sever ties with the Clan?
Sarutobi's presence in the story is undisguised!
"Looks like we'll have to deal with the Sarutobi Four Clans this time!"
"That's good, so we won't always be facing those scoundrels."
"This also gives me a chance to see what level the core strength of the Five Great Nations is at!"
A thought flashed through my mind.
Uka Senju closed the Scroll, picked up the tea her Aunt had poured for her, and drank it all in one gulp.
It's been several hours since I last drank any water on this journey.
As he savored the taste of the tea as it went down his throat, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, " Aunt, this tea is really good!"
"You didn't save any for guests, and just gave it to me to drink like this?"
Are there many?
Having finished discussing business, Senju Toka, who was smiling, heard her nephew's words.
She immediately raised her hand and smacked her nephew on the head, saying, "When have you never been given the best things first?"
"You have the nerve to say you won't offer your guests a drink?"
"Hehe!" After a moment of hesitation, Uka Senju rubbed her nose, no longer trying to hide her thoughts.
I rolled my eyes at this infuriating little guy.
Senju Toka took a small box from under the Low Table and tossed it over!
Half an hour later.
After finishing their business, Uka Senju chatted with her Aunt for a while before bidding farewell to her Aunt and leaving the government affairs hall to head to the dinner venue!
"Ms. Sōki, I'll leave the afternoon classes to you!" Maki Senju Maki, wearing a dark blue hoodie and black trousers, with long reddish-brown hair, bowed slightly to a female teacher sitting opposite her.
"Hey, don't be shy, leave it to me, don't worry about it." A young woman dressed in a typical Konoha Jonin uniform waved her hand dismissively.
The girl opposite me teaches the same type of course.
Strictly speaking, she was one of the few Commoners Ninja from the time of Tobirama Senju.
This experience led her to decisively side with the Senju side when the Ninja Academy was split in two.
Although they were known as disciples of Tobirama Senju, most of them, who were from the same generation, had ways of knowing what had actually happened between the two sides!
Judging from what Sarutobi and the others did, she was someone whose fate was changed only by Senju's grace.
There is absolutely no way I would choose to collude with Sarutobi!
In particular, she and Sarutobi's side do not have much conflict of interest.
Therefore, they are even less concerned about the consequences of offending that side!
As long as the Senju Sect remains standing, a stable life and a promising future for their children are within reach.
And in her heart, how could the Senju possibly fall?
Although the Senju Clan suffered heavy losses in the war, they still have Wood Release!
Even if Senju's strength were to decrease by one level, with Wood Release, she would never choose Sarutobi's side!
Valley of the End, she was still a student, and she even went along to observe the battlefield!
This is the inexplicable confidence that Wood Release gives to ordinary Ninja and Small Shinobi Clan.
They lacked deeper access to understand the specific details of both sides' current situation.
Therefore, we can only make a judgment based on what we have at hand and the apparent situation of both sides!
The assassination attempt at the beginning of the year, with its commotion at night, caused information about the battlefield to spread rapidly throughout the village.
The news that Wood Release had been made into Jonin gradually spread before his return!
Adding to the covert fighting outside the village, there were clearly more Sarutobi's side.
These various rumors and gossips are the main basis for that Small Shinobi Clan's recent decision to join the Senju side.
Initially, these Small Shinobi Clan remained neutral simply because they were not deeply involved with either side.
But as time went by, the remaining Small Shinobi Clan would join either side based on their own judgment.
In a game where victory or defeat is decided by a single point, the winner takes all, and neutrality at this point means the reckoning is about to begin.
As Small Shinobi Clan and Commoners, they had no right to remain neutral!
The eldest and second eldest brothers fight, the third eldest tries his best to protect himself, and kills the Fourth Elder, fifth, and sixth eldest brothers.
This was a common occurrence during the Warring States period of the Shinobi World!
Therefore, apart from the four largest neutral Shinobi Clan, the remaining Small Shinobi Clan will generally choose to join one side in the coming period.
Those who want to enjoy the soup should do so earlier, while those who prefer stability and don't want to expand should do so later.
But it's absolutely impossible to remain truly neutral forever!
This was a consensus among almost all the neutral Konoha Ninja at the time!
Hearing what was said on the other end, Senju Maki straightened up and gave her older sister, who had been taking good care of her, a kind smile.
Then she picked up the bag that had already been packed on the table.
He nodded and greeted his colleagues as he walked out of the Konoha Ninja Academy!
Because of her social status, all her colleagues were good people.
And then there are the little kids we need to deal with!
She currently feels that the job her grandfather arranged for her is very good.
Of course, she knows perfectly well why she's receiving such good treatment now.
There's no need to elaborate on the family side, but the other side is the reason she took the day off today.
Her status meant that she could easily learn about any movements within her Clan related to Wood Release with just a little attention.
After some thought, Senju Maki decided to have a big meal, something she hadn't done in a long time, to celebrate Uka's return.
She walked along the street through the outer streets and came directly to a small path outside the Senju Clan Compound.
The people living here are all ordinary people who depend on the Senju Clan.
That little street in this area was practically built for the Senju!
" Maki, Miss Maki." An elderly woman dressed in linen stood up from behind the stall, a kind smile on her face, and asked, "What do you need today?"
The old woman had one son and five daughters.
All three of them married into ordinary families of the Senju.
This also gave her the opportunity to set up a stall here.
The woman opposite him, dressed simply, was actually an exceptionally wealthy young lady.
On one occasion when her son-in-law came to visit, she also received some advice from him.
This is the fundamental reason for her attitude!
Upon hearing the greetings and questions from the other side, Senju Maki maintained the decorum of the Shinobi Clan and bowed slightly in response.
Then she frowned and began to examine the old woman's stall carefully.
Noticing the girl's gaze lingering on certain items, the kindly smiling old woman whispered, " Maki, we still have some freshly slaughtered beef at home."
"Please let me know what kind of space you need and how many you require, and I'll get them for you right away."
"These vegetables were delivered this morning, but they look a little wilted after being exposed to the sun all day."
"But I have backups at home. Which one do you want? I'll get you the freshest one from home!"
Hearing the old woman's words, even though the person opposite her was quite old...
However, Senju Maki, who was already used to this situation, nodded without any surprise and began to ponder.
Such differential treatment is perfectly normal in Konoha.
Especially in 29 years ago, when the Ninja profession had not yet fully entered ordinary people's families.
It's just that compared to ordinary Ninja, her status might mean she enjoys more privileges!
What cut of fresh beef do you want?
"Braised beef brisket? And oxtail soup, please?"
"Then after two meat dishes, we'll have two vegetable dishes!"
" Uka has been stationed in the Land of Forests for so long, there must be a lot of food there, so she probably won't be lacking in resources!"
"So, for the remaining two, we'll have one river fish and one semi-meat dish?"
After a flurry of thoughts in my mind, I had a general idea in mind.
Senju Maki pointed to the items on the stall and began to select some.
The old woman listened to the girl's request and wrote it down.
He quickly ran back into the house behind him and picked up something even better than what was on the stalls outside from a special room!
" Uka, Kaun, Furin, bye-bye!" After leaving the restaurant Yūhi Shinku, wearing the Yūhi Clan's exclusive Combat Uniform uniform, waved with her two teammates and said with a smile.
"Bye-Bye!"
Let's get together again sometime!
Goodbye, Shinku- kun!
The three people whose names were called bid farewell to their classmates with whom they had spent four months in the Land of Forests, each in their own way.
After this separation, no one knows when they will have the chance to work together again.
Although the two sides were not very familiar with each other while in school, the four months they spent together and their alliance resulted in a very good working relationship.
Thus, the group formed a good relationship!
" Lord Uka, Kaun, Furin, I'm heading back now." Senju Fukami was wearing the same Combat Uniform as Uka, waved to the three boys and girls.
He has family waiting for him, and he hasn't been home for six months.
If it weren't for this emergency situation of the squad or team being disbanded, he would have wanted to go home to see his family long ago!
" Uka, Kaun, Furin, I'm leaving first!" Hatake Banwa, wearing a black Combat Uniform and sporting short silver hair, said goodbye to the three guys who were hosting him today.
He was gone for half a year, and he missed his little one at home!
" Fukami, Sakawa and Sakawa-nii!" Uka Senju bowed slightly in farewell.
"Brother Fukami, Brother Sakawa, let's get together again when you have time!" Aburame Kaun replied with a smile.
" Fukami, Sakawa and Sakawa-kun!" Inuzuka Furin, with her hands folded over her abdomen and two lines of paint on her face, bowed and said.
These two were not their supervising Jonin.
However, while in the Land of Forests, they also consulted many people about the Jonin system.
If it weren't for Uka's connections, they would have been more accurate to address him as "teacher" or "uncle" based on his age.
With teammates around, the two middle-aged men all agreed to be called "Big Brother" by the kids!
After the others said their goodbyes and left, the remaining few people, who had formed a deep bond since their days at the Ninja Academy, gathered together.
They chatted idly as they walked towards their homes.
After navigating through the streets and alleys, we arrived at a fork in the road.
Kurama Shimei and Hatake Kobun both stopped in their tracks.
Looking at the four people in front of her Hatake Kobun loosened her grip on Furin and said, " Uka, Kaun, Ze, Furin, and the two little ones, I'm going back now. Bye."
"Ze, Black Wolf, don't forget what you promised the teacher in a few days!"
"Don't worry!" Inuzuka Sawa raised his hand in a gesture of understanding and grinned widely.
"Woof woof!" responded the all-black Ninja Dog standing beside its owner.
I gave my most troublesome friend another piece of advice.
Hatake Kobun turned to the three people who were about to embark on a mission together again, and said, " Uka, Kaun, you must be careful on your mission and protect yourselves!"
" Furin, you too!"
"My wishes have all come true. From now on, I must take good care of myself."
After saying that, she reached out and pinched her best friend's cheeks and rubbed them hard!
If things were like before, the chances of them doing a mission together would be even greater.
But their squad had grown into a Middle Unit.
Uka and her comrades also formed a Middle Unit.
The Clan makes no attempt to hide their training methods, which makes it even less likely they'll be able to lift it again in the future!
As for rest time, who can time it perfectly?
"Don't worry!" Uka Senju nodded.
"Don't worry, it's nothing!" Aburame Kaun said with a smile, revealing two rows of White Fang.
"You too, take good care of yourself." Although her best friend pinched her cheeks so hard it hurt, Inuzuka Furin could see the undisguised worry in her eyes.
She knew what this best friend meant.
In the past, best friends might not have had any concept of this, but in the four months in the Land of Forests, there were numerous assassination attempts targeting Uka, both large and small.
This best friend saw it all!
Therefore, she completely understands what her best friend said!
She didn't even care about the explicit indication that her wish had come true.
Instead, she became concerned about this close friend with whom she would likely have difficulty seeing again.
Ignoring the two girls' farewell, Kurama Shimei laughed and punched each of his three friends once.
Inuzuka Sawa, having already been warned by his friend, didn't say anything more.
As for the other two, he put away his smile and said solemnly, " Kaun, you'd better hurry up and get rid of the Mole as soon as possible!"
"You must be careful; the frequency will decrease, but it will also become more dangerous."
It was through this mission to the Land of Forests that he learned about his friends' lives during their missions.
The 200 million yuan bounty has already driven most people to the point of losing their minds.
They didn't even care about the other Ninja in the Capital.
His sole purpose was to assassinate Uka!
Although these kinds of desperate people are usually just small fry.
But the situation in the Land of Forests ended, and news spread that his friend had been promoted to Jonin.
200 million? That's so high, it would be a disservice to my friend's net worth if it didn't double!
In this situation, middle managers who have some knowledge of the matter will definitely back down.
Besides the shrimp, even the top experts could hardly hold back any longer!
Besides those outside, there were also people from Sarutobi's side.
My friend's identity as a 12-year-old Wood Release Jonin.
He refused to believe that Sarutobi and his ilk could continue to sit still!
As for his friend's upcoming missions, the Jonin will certainly not remain confined to the South.
This is why he repeatedly reminded his friends!
Upon hearing Shimei's suggestion, Aburame Kaun put away her smile and nodded seriously, indicating that she understood.
This guy's mind works just as fast as Uka's.
The reason for his instructions is something I can understand myself!
Uka became Jonin, but the one at greatest risk was her own Furin.
Although the main focus will be on Uka!
But the eldest and second eldest brothers got into a fight and killed the unprepared third brother.
Isn't that all normal?
Especially with Uka's price increase, how could my and Furin's value not rise as well?
Back then, even those who dared to come were strongly advised against making more money!
Uka Senju smiled helplessly at Kurama Shimei's words.
He patted Kaun on the shoulder apologetically, encouraging him to keep going!
After the six people finished talking, the two left at the fork in the road.
Until the next fork in the road where the Aburame Clan.
After thinking for a while, Uka Senju said to her two teammates, "Let's get some rest today, and tomorrow we'll meet up to check on the team!"
"After meeting those people tomorrow, the two of you can go back to your clan and attend to your own affairs."
"We're very pressed for time. If you can take that first step before then, then do your best to get there!"
"If you need anything, just let me know!"
He now understands the risks of having these two friends with him.
But he had already accepted all the benefits offered by the Clan.
There's absolutely no way these two can quit now!
That's all I can do—provide more resources for my two friends!
As for the mission details, his Aunt explained them to him very clearly today.
As soon as possible, it all depends on whether these two can seize this opportunity!
"Okay!" Aburame Kaun nodded.
"Yes, Uka-kun!" Inuzuka Furin, who was holding the Ninja Dog dog, replied.
Both of them were stuck at the last minute.
Kaun is just a little Mole; with a bit of luck and the help of his Clan, he'll be able to get through quickly!
The slower-growing Furin, besides lacking mastery of a certain Ninjutsu, also needs to develop her Ninja Dog!
The former might be resolved quickly with a bit of luck, but the latter will likely take until after this year to resolve.
The Inuzuka Clan clan has already devised the fastest growth path for Brown and White.
If this is done any faster, the Brown and White will inevitably suffer internal damage from the forced ripening process!
Even the Inuzuka Clan wouldn't harm Ninja Dog like that.
However, if Furin can master the remaining Ninjutsu as soon as possible, she herself can at least be considered Jonin!
This would significantly increase her survival rate!
After seeing Aburame Kaun, they also saw off Inuzuka Furin and Inuzuka Sawa along the way.
Only then did Uka Senju begin her journey home alone.
Walking on the Stone Slab path, looking at the rows of standard houses on both sides.
After greeting the few elderly people who were enjoying the cool evening air outside, I...
The familiar house with a cherry blossom tree taller than the roof appeared before his eyes.
"Splash!"
I pushed open the sliding door and took out my slippers from the familiar spot.
Sitting in the entryway, changing her shoes, Uka Senju smelled the fragrance filling the house and looked inside.
The commotion at the door was heard by Senju Maki, who was busy in the kitchen.
Knowing roughly who would be home at this time, she quickly got up, dropped the vegetables she was picking, and ran out.
Seeing the familiar figure sitting in the entryway turning around, Senju Maki couldn't help but smile!
I changed into slippers and moved my feet aside.
Looking at the person leaning against the door, half of their body and face visible, I realized I hadn't seen them for over six months.
Uka Senju went straight up and pulled him into her arms to examine him closely.
My own reflection is still visible in those blue eyes that I love so much.
Her pink, upturned lips made him involuntarily lean down.
"Um...!"
A few minutes later, the two separated.
Looking at each other after half a year apart.
Senju Maki ignored her face, which was already burning red.
She pulled her arms away from Uka's neck and stayed close to her Fiancé!
"..."
After a long while, Uka Senju leaned back on the sofa.
He gently stroked the long, reddish-brown hair that was nestled in his arms.
There was no resistance to the movement on its head.
Senju Maki stared blankly at the person in front of her.
Feeling the other person's breath and heartbeat!
Only after her face cooled down, and a smile still lingered on her lips, did she speak, " Uka, what's it like in Land of Forests?"
Although she was a Ninja, she never left Konoha too far!
Back then, her family only assigned her C-rank bandit missions for her genin duties.
Then, with both parties willing to give and receive, those who cared for her and she decided to stay at home.
So, even though she stayed home voluntarily, she was still somewhat curious about Uka and the others' experiences of going out!
Hearing the question from the person in his arms.
I know that Maki has never left Konoha for too long.
Uka Senju smiled and took out several photos from her Ninja Tool Pouch, then began to explain them to her in detail.
"It's a Small Countries, and due to its land area and environment, it has different customs from the Land of Fire."
"They live surrounded by the sea on three sides, making the windy season very difficult, which is why most of their houses are made of stone."
"Look, it's made of these large stones piled up one by one. They rarely use wood where they live!"
Looking at the photos Uka handed me, I saw rows of stone houses.
Senju Maki asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is it very windy? The windows are all so small!"
"Are piles of stones sturdy? If they collapse in a strong wind, it'll be much more serious than a pile of wood."
If this were Uka Senju from her past life, she would have simply said that there was no need to worry about the cement used.
However, at that Shinobi World, he had also gone to see the things that ordinary people used to build houses outside the Capital of the Land of Forests.
That stuff isn't cement at all!
It can only be described as something similar.
So he scratched his head and explained, "I don't know exactly what that adhesive thing is."
"But I tested it, and with that stuff on, the stones were glued together very firmly."
"At least it's hard for the wind to blow it over!"
He nodded, seemingly understanding, but seeing that Uka didn't know the specifics either.
But the doubts were also resolved, so Senju Maki pulled out the second photo.
Gazing at the endless expanse of blue stretching to the horizon, she, with her blue eyes, asked, " Uka, is this the sea?"
"They're all blue!"
"There are no boundaries in this photo, that's how big it is!"
Perhaps it's because she really likes this color.
Or perhaps it was the liking in Uka's eyes when she first saw the color blue!
So when I saw that endless expanse of blue in the photo...
Her mood brightened noticeably, and her voice was filled with undisguised delight!
Sensing the emotions of the person in her arms, Uka Senju smiled and replied, "Yes, this is the sea, an entirely blue expanse, from the light blue at the edges to the deep blue that almost turns black in the distance!"
"I don't know about the edge, but since planets are round, perhaps the edge is on the other side of the Land of Earth?"
He really didn't know how big the sea of Ninja really was.
But he had previously seen a map of the Shinobi World.
It seems that apart from this mainland, the rest of the area consists of scattered large islands!
So all he could do was guess!
Senju Maki understands the color changes.
She also strolled along the river within the village.
The colors of some of the pools in the gentler sections are different.
This should be related to depth!
As for the limits that Uka guessed, she had also seen the Ninja's map.
"If such a continent no longer exists, then it must be as Uka described!"
As she pondered this, she began examining the remaining photos.
What's left are some large seafood and Land of Forests landscape photos!
Apart from some very large things, she didn't sense anything particularly unusual.
So he placed the photos he had looked at on the coffee table next to him.
She rolled over, lying on Uka's lap, and poked the boy's chin above her head, asking, "Is your mission this time dangerous?"
"I heard you dealt with Hoshikage. The intelligence said that the techniques used in that village were quite unique, is that right?"
He did not have permission to review the complete intelligence.
But she could easily get these more common things by just begging her father.
Therefore, she was fully aware of all the major developments Uka was making at the Front Line.
As for the details, she didn't know much about them!
The girl's movements in his arms caused Uka Senju to lean forward slightly.
She bit the slender, white finger that had just poked her chin!
