After Uya for a while, several Anbu Ninja finally arrived in front of Uya.
These people were all official Anbu ninjas.
Of course, Uya is the same now.
"This is the Lord Hokage's order; you are being assigned to the Squad Eight, codenamed Ten'u."
One of the ninjas, who appeared to be the captain, placed a document in front of Uya, which recorded Uya's identity and number, along with the order to assign Uya to the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad Squad Eight.
Uya glanced at them, then nodded and said, "So, you're all members of the Squad Eight, right?"
"Yes, I am the captain of the Squad Eight, Guren Gekko. I specialize in using Fire Release Ninjutsu with Ninja Blade, and my codename is Zanka."
The ninja who handed the document to Uya nodded, then introduced himself, removed his mask to show Uya his face, and then put the mask back on.
Since we are members of the same team, we must understand each other in order to cooperate.
The other two team members also removed their masks to show Uya their faces, and then put their masks back on.
"My name is Sana Asama. I'm skilled in Puppet Technique and also have some knowledge of poison. My codename is Kishu."
On Sana Asama's back was something wrapped in bandages, which looked like her puppet.
And it may only be one of them.
"I am Ino Yamanaka, specializing in mental Secret Technique. I can restrict or even control an enemy's movements, but there are limitations. I need to cooperate to perform reliably. My codename is An'ya."
Upon hearing this self-introduction, Uya, who had maintained a calm expression, suddenly revealed a strange look.
Is there a problem?
Ino Yamanaka looked at Uya with a somewhat strange expression.
Uya shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
But in her heart, she was thinking, "In the original story, Ino's father was named Inoichi Yamanaka, so is this Ino perhaps Ino's uncle or something?"
Although he found it strange, Uya didn't ask any further questions. Anbu Ninja never inquired about each other's backgrounds. The reason they introduced themselves to each other was because they needed to understand and cooperate with each other to form a team.
What puzzled Uya slightly was that the Yamanaka Clan didn't seem to necessarily have to cooperate with the Akimichi Clan and Nara Clan.
"Alright, the situation on the front lines is extremely urgent right now, and there's no time for coordinated training. We have a mission to carry out immediately."
Guren Gekko's eyes held a hint of calm and solemnity.
"The mission is in the Land of Rain to gather intelligence on the ninjas of Iwagakure and Amegakure. If there's an opportunity, we can carry out assassinations. I'll explain the details along the way. We must set off now."
"So urgent?"
Not only was Uya a little surprised, but Ino Yamanaka and Sana Asama were also somewhat astonished.
Guren Gekko nodded and said, "The situation over there is quite serious. The Anbu members have suffered heavy casualties. We've undergone some reorganization and need to head back immediately."
"By the way, Uya is a newcomer. Although he participated in training camps before and achieved outstanding results, this is the real battlefield. You two should take extra care of him."
"Okay." Ino Yamanaka and Sana Asama both nodded.
Uya wore a helpless expression and said nothing before leaving the Anbu with Guren Gekko.
Even Uya himself didn't expect things to happen so suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, he was about to head to the Land of Rain.
Despite the urgency of the situation, Uya did not forget to say goodbye to Kushina.
Guren Gekko and the others also had some trivial matters to attend to, so after leaving the Anbu, they parted ways and prepared to meet at the village entrance.
Uya first removed his mask and cloak, then quickly found Kushina in the village and told her he was leaving to carry out a mission.
Over the past four months, Kushina would visit Uya whenever she had free time, but she wouldn't disturb his Uya. She would just quietly watch from the sidelines, so she knew that Uya's power was already very, very strong.
Even so, she still couldn't suppress the worry in her heart, but she couldn't stop Uya from carrying out the mission because of herself.
So, in the end, she could only look at Uya with utmost seriousness and speak softly.
You must come back.
"Yes, don't worry."
Uya nodded gently, giving her a reassuring smile. Suddenly, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead before turning away and disappearing in a few flashes.
Kushina gasped, a cute blush rising slightly on her cheeks. She then pursed her lips, staring blankly in the direction where Uya had disappeared.
After saying goodbye to Kushina, Uya took out his mask and cloak again.
The identity of the Anbu cannot be revealed casually; this is a rule, even though Kushina's identity is actually more special than that of Anbu Ninja.
He stopped in a corner, put on his mask and cloak, and then Uya sped towards the village entrance.
With Uya dressed like this, no one would stop Uya. Besides, Uya now was not someone anyone could stop just because he wanted to; his speed was so great that even ordinary Jonin would have a hard time keeping up with him.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, they reunited with Guren Gekko and the others.
Have you finished dealing with the trivial matters?
"Um."
"Alright, don't let anything affect your mindset during the mission. Stay alert at all times. Let's go."
The Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly stared at the crystal ball in his hand, watching Uya leave with the Anbu squad.
"Hmm, I've asked Guren Gekko to take special care of Uya. As long as nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
With a soft sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously wanted to talk to someone, but then he remembered that Hatake Sakumo was already in the Land of Rain at this moment, and fell silent.
He is the Hokage; he cannot be mobilized lightly.
Meanwhile, the highest commander in the Land of Rain is currently Hatake Sakumo.
At the same time, Danzo was not in Konoha, Orochimaru also in the Land of Rain. In fact, Danzo, Jiraiya, Tsunade were also in the Land of Rain at this time!
A gathering of heroes—this was the stage for the Second Shinobi World War.
"I hope you can survive the war. With your talent, you'll likely grow rapidly, and reaching the level of Jonin won't be too far off."
He Hiruzen Sarutobi something to himself, his gaze unfathomable as he looked into the distance.
Within the Land of Fire.
Uya's squad is advancing at full speed.
Throughout the journey, Guren Gekko talked with Ino Yamanaka and Sana Asama, and Uya was also among them. However, most of the time Guren Gekko didn't ask Uya any questions; Uya was just a listener.
Despite Uya's outstanding performance in the Anbu, all of that is meaningless now that he's on the battlefield.
No matter how talented someone is, if they haven't experienced blood and fire, they can't be considered a true elite.
In their view, Uya was mostly a burden in the early missions.
Guren Gekko also received specific instructions from Hiruzen Sarutobi, asking him to guide and take care of Uya, and to protect Uya if necessary.
