I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Hoshino Yu scratched his head, took the task list handed to him, and began to look at it carefully.

"C-level mission: patrol along the border, record unusual movements, and drive away wandering ninjas and small-scale enemy spies."

"Level C mission: Inventory explosive tags, medical bandages, ration pills, and other combat supplies, and safely transport them to the border warehouse."

"Rank C mission..."

Hoshino Yu's brows furrowed more and more as he read on. How could even these C-rank missions be related to war? He continued reading.

"Escort high-value supplies such as chakra test strips, advanced medical kits, and sealing scrolls to the front lines; track down and capture enemy intelligence ninjas who have infiltrated the village, and bring them back for interrogation."

"Set up traps and barricades at key crossroads such as border canyons and river channels."

Seeing this, Hoshino Yu closed the mission list and handed it back to the ninja who had issued the mission.

"Now you know, Yu, there are mostly frontline missions right now. Which one do you want?"

The middle-aged ninja was quite familiar with Hoshino Yu, Orochimaru's disciple who often came to him alone to accept B-rank missions.

And Hoshino Yuto is also quite good. Since he's here, I'll naturally pick out a few easier tasks for him.

But Hoshino Yu didn't want to choose anything easier.

The current situation is already known. Basically, all the current missions are related to the war. All the Jonin have gone to a meeting, and the next step is probably to go to the front line to make arrangements.

He didn't know if Orochimaru would take him there, but based on the way Orochimaru took Nawaki to the battlefield in the original work, he had no doubt that he would be the first to receive a notification from his teacher once the order was given.

Then came the water gate.

But Minato is different from him.

Minato, having not been tempered in battle, is currently as strong as an average Chunin, but he is not as extraordinary as Hoshino Yu.

On the surface, if we're talking about the village, aside from those few ninjas who didn't want to become Jonin or couldn't become Jonin for some reason, Hoshino Yu is the strongest below Jonin.

This is the result achieved through performance and demonstrated strength.

"Wait a minute, uncle, let me think about it."

Hoshino Yu recalled the task list she had just seen and couldn't help but ponder.

It's not impossible for him to actually carry out battlefield-related missions, but he has to play some role.

At this stage, I am thinking of going to Thunder Gorge to continue my cultivation for a while in order to prepare for the upcoming war.

Moreover, they are not short of money for the time being, so their goal is already very clear.

Go to the border front, or just take on a few missions related to the Land of Rivers that have a long time limit.

That means the number of tasks available for selection isn't very large.

One of these measures involved using the Land of Rivers as a buffer zone to transport rations, bandages, and basic ninja tools to the front lines of the Land of Fire.

On the border of the country of Kawano, simple watchtowers and signal posts were built, and the surrounding terrain was hand-drawn.

Another ideal B-level mission is to infiltrate the border of the Land of Rivers and destroy the enemy's signaling devices, which are located in the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind.

"Tsk, do we have to go to that border again?"

Hoshino Yu sighed softly.

There's no way around it; ninjas have a special status, and besides, it's close to war now, so we can't just let you leave the village whenever we want. Every time you leave the village, you have to go with a clear purpose or mission.

Moreover, he now belongs to the Hokage faction, is Orochimaru's disciple, has high talent, and has a promising future, making it even more difficult for him to leave.

However, since he was prepared to come, he didn't intend to just go home.

After a moment's thought, he spoke to the ninja uncle who had issued the mission:

"Uncle, I need to take on the mission to infiltrate and destroy the enemy's signaling device."

As soon as he said this, all the ninjas around him turned to look at him.

Those present were all Chunin and Genin. Seeing that Hoshino Yu, who was also a Genin and not very tall, said he wanted to take on a B-rank mission, they naturally wanted to see who was so fearless.

However, this glance made everyone realize the truth.

"Oh, so you're Lord Orochimaru's disciple. That's alright then."

"Hoshino Yu, is that the genius who graduated from the ninja academy after only one month? I'm so envious..."

"Yu-kun! Yu-kun! When will you update your novel?!"

"..."

Hoshino Yu was embarrassed; how come he had fans here too?

"Wait a moment, let me take a look." Upon hearing this, the ninja who issued the mission quickly glanced at the mission list and soon took out the corresponding mission.

"Yu, this mission requires us to enter the Land of Rivers, and things are a bit complicated there right now. Are you sure you want this?"

"Leave it to me, uncle."

Hoshino Yu took the mission token and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, the ninja said earnestly:

"Be careful, Yu, you must come back safely."

"..." Hoshino Yu turned to look at the ninja upon hearing this, and seeing that the other party really meant well, he didn't know what to say.

"..."

"Damn it, they're saying things like that before we've even left the house. They're hoping I won't come back, aren't they?"

The ninja's tone was like that of an old general on a stage covered with flags, leaving him speechless.

Once outside, seeing that the weather was clear, Hoshino Yu tidied up the ninja tool pouch at his waist and quickly fled towards the Konoha gate.

Upon reaching the gate and completing the handover, the gatekeeper ninja, who was quite familiar with Yu, jokingly asked:

"Yu, are you short of money now? Why are you working so hard on missions?"

Hoshino Yu smiled helplessly:

"No way, senior, who would complain about having too much money? Right?"

"Doing more tasks now and earning more money is so that I can enjoy a wonderful life in the future."

"That's true." The gatekeeper ninja laughed, about to speak, but was quickly stopped by Hoshino Yu.

"Senior, let's talk when I get back. The mission is urgent, we should set off now."

After saying that, he grabbed the mission token and disappeared from the spot using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

"Ha, this kid."

......

Meanwhile, Hoshino Yu left Konoha and sped off in the southwest, towards the direction of their target, the Land of Rivers.

For him, the Land of Rivers was a place he visited frequently, and several missions were related to it.

He was currently moving rapidly through the forest, glancing at the time on his mission token.

[Rank B Mission: Infiltrate the Land of Rivers, travel to various border locations, and destroy enemy signal devices]

【Item No.: B011】

[Timeframe: Depends on the situation; options include remaining in hiding, but regular updates are required]

Hoshino Yu was eyeing the "depending on the situation" timeframe below.

Reporting the specifics isn't difficult; we can use a secret method to find two snakes and inform his teacher, Orochimaru.

In any case, Orochimaru and his group of Jonin were bound to go to the front lines to command. The distance between the several front lines was much closer than going directly back to Konoha.

Besides, with the elemental speed granted by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, reaching any desired location in the blink of an eye is no problem.

Once out of the forest, Hoshino Yu sensed that there were no figures around, so he immediately activated his elemental transformation.

His body crackled with electricity, and in a flash of blue light, he vanished from the spot.
