Although Hinata Hyuga's birth did not cause the same shock as Shinichi's birth, it still received enthusiastic congratulations from all branches of the Hyuga family.

For a family like the Hyuga clan, a large and prosperous main branch is always a good thing.

Moreover, as for Hiashi Hyuga's own family, he also hoped to have both a son and a daughter, and to live a happy old age surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

Hinata's birth also fulfilled his life in a way.

Even though Shinichi was busy with his training, he would still make time every day after Hinata's birth to help his mother take care of his younger sister.

Although Hanako had a maid who had moved out of the family to help take care of her, an outsider is still an outsider. No matter how hard she tried, Hanako was more at ease with her own son.

Several weeks passed quietly, and Hinata, whose face was originally wrinkled, gradually grew up, becoming fair and tender, which made her very popular with Hiashi and Hanako.

Shinichi was no different. He had never personally experienced caring for an infant, even in his previous life. Sometimes, holding the soft and boneless Hinata, Shinichi Hyuga became increasingly aware of the "responsibility" he carried on his shoulders.

elder brother...

Being a good older brother is not an easy thing.

While Shinichi Hyuga was enjoying a warm family life, the situation in the ninja world was quietly changing.

The fundamental conflict that led to the Third Shinobi World War was the struggle for resources between major powers.

The Land of Fire, due to its powerful national strength, occupies one of the most fertile regions in the entire world.

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage was merely the fuse for the Ninja War. In order to appease the ordinary ninjas and the public who were unsettled by the loss of the Kazekage, the Sand Village leadership chose to divert internal conflicts through external warfare.

The Land of Fire, rich in land and waste resources, naturally became their target.

After the Sand Village and Konoha went to war, other major powers also became eager to join the fray. The Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water also joined the battle, participating in the division of the Land of Fire.

The Ninja World War was thus ignited.

To withstand the powerful forces from all sides, Konoha Village naturally deployed its elite troops. In the early stages of the Ninja War, Konoha's White Fang killed the son and daughter-in-law of Sand Village's Elder Chiyo, crushing the morale of the Sand Village in one battle.

As the war continued to escalate, Konoha stabilized the situation after suffering heavy casualties.

Minato Namikaze performed brilliantly in the Fourth Shinobi World War, helping Konoha win the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. Not only did he help Konoha win the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, but his team, which partnered with Jiraiya, also managed to escape unscathed after being surrounded by two Jinchuriki from Iwagakure.

Meanwhile, Minato also intimidated the Kumogakure's Abby duo on another battlefield, leading to a tacit understanding between the two sides and easing the pressure on that front.

Escaping the encirclement of the Iwa ninja Jinchuriki and intimidating the Abby duo foreshadowed the later falling out between the Iwa and Kumo ninja.

When Minato became famous during the Ninja War, Konoha's genin Might Guy opened all eight gates to protect his son, directly crippling the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

After several major battles, the terrifying results achieved by Konoha thwarted the plans of other major powers to carve up the territory.

As the situation has evolved to this point, the Sand Village has been defeated by the Leaf Village, and the Land of Wind, a country already severely lacking in resources, is no longer able to support the Sand Village in their war effort.

The Sand Village and Konoha signed a peace treaty, becoming allies.

The battle lines between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning became deadly feuds because the Third Raikage was surrounded and killed by a force of 10,000 Iwa ninja.

Although both sides still have minor frictions with Konoha, the strategic focus of these two major powers is on each other.

With the pressure on several fronts reduced significantly, Konoha was given a chance to recuperate.

Now, Konoha's greatest enemy is actually the Land of Water.

However, Konoha Village had an overwhelming advantage over Kirigakure. In the eyes of Minato and other high-ranking officials, the threat posed by Kirigakure was nothing more than a minor ailment.

Against this backdrop of the Ninja War, Shinichi Hyuga's squad received their first mission since the squad was formed.

"Disarm the bandits?!"

In the Hokage's office, Aburame Shiki, who had just received the mission assignment, quickly glanced at the mission details and murmured to herself with a hint of unease.

The Third Shinobi World War lasted for several years, and order was disrupted in many regions due to the war.

During the Ninja Wars, many deserters and rogue ninjas emerged from various ninja villages. These rogue ninjas gathered in twos and threes to form bandit gangs, making a living by plundering.

As the situation in the Land of Fire gradually stabilizes, these bandit groups that disrupt local order naturally become a thorn in the side of those in power.

Inside the office, the entire Aburame Shinobu squad was present, and in addition to them, Hyuga Hiashi also made an inappropriate appearance in the Hokage's office.

The mission for the Zhiwei team was carefully selected by Minato and approved by Nissai before it was decided to be assigned.

The mission objective is a bandit group of about twenty people.

The leaders were three Konoha rogue ninja; the rest were just a group of strong rogue ninja who had gathered together, and were not ninjas at all.

These rogue ninjas were all Chunin during their time in Konoha, and their strength and qualities were only so-so.

Sending a team like Zhiwei to carry out such a mission is actually a waste of their talents.

However, Minato still assigned this B-rank mission to them. It involved rogue ninja of Chunin rank, so even if a Jonin was leading the team, they needed to be careful.

This kind of mission is a good experience for them.

Moreover, the enemy's location is within the Land of Fire, so there is no need to worry about external enemies posing a threat to Shinichi of the main family.

"Zhiwei, the fundamental purpose of this mission is to help your team improve its coordination."

"The mission isn't particularly difficult, but you still need to be cautious and not underestimate the enemy."

"The mission scroll contains detailed information about the rogue ninja. Your team should depart on a chosen date and make this a swift and decisive battle."

Minato sat behind his desk and explained.

Even without him saying it, the others understood Minato's intention.

Their team is somewhat unbalanced; two members are too young. The main purpose of this mission is actually to let Shinichi and Shisui shed blood.

Even Shisui, who had become a Chunin, had mostly been involved in logistical missions before, and purely killing missions like this were relatively rare.

As for Shinichi, it was his first time.

"Shinichi, do your best and don't let me down."

Beside him, Hiashi Hyuga looked at Shinichi and solemnly gave him instructions.

Although it wasn't particularly difficult, Shinichi's performance on his first mission as a member of the main family would still affect the reputation of their main family.

He had confidence in his son, but he couldn't help but worry about his young son going on a long mission.

"Don't worry, Father, I will try my best."

Suppressing bandits...killing people...

Shinichi didn't really have any expectations for this kind of thing.

Surely no one would expect to kill someone and see blood?
