Yusuke Terada looked at Mo's profile and said earnestly.

However, the next moment, Uchiha Mo suddenly turned his head, and a pair of scarlet eyes instantly entered Terada Yusuke's mind.

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Terada Yusuke's body trembled, his eyes transformed into the shape of two-tomoe Sharingan, and his expression instantly froze.

As Mo urged Terada Yusuke to walk as usual, he slowly asked:

"Were you lying to me just now?"

"no."

"Why is the planned route so strange?"

"In order to delay the return to the Bird Country as much as possible and avoid the large black market."

Upon hearing this, Mo frowned. "Be more specific."

"Something has happened in the Bird Country. It seems that a minister has offended a very powerful ninja. During the time I was away, many nobles in the Bird Country died, including my father. So I dare not return to the Bird Country."

However, due to the daimyo's orders, I have to return. Therefore, I can only try to avoid the place where the incident occurred, delaying the inevitable while ensuring that I return to the capital as quickly as possible after entering the Land of Birds.

"A very powerful ninja? Who is he? How did that minister offend him? And what does this have to do with the underground black market merchants? Tell me everything."

Uchiha Mo remained calm, the tomoe in his eyes slowly rotating, his powerful ocular energy continuously flowing into Terada Yusuke's brain.

However, after he finished speaking, Terada Yusuke looked blank and shook his head.

"I have no idea."

"Don't know?" Mo raised an eyebrow. "What else do you know?"

"..."

Terada Yusuke looked thoughtful for a long time before saying with certainty:

"That person... is incredibly strong!"

"..."

Uchiha Mo's eyes flickered with hidden tomoe, as he withdrew all his eye power.

A look of clarity gradually returned to Terada Yusuke's eyes. He sneezed, then asked in confusion:

"Your Excellency Mo, where were we?"

……

At the front of the group, Sarutobi Asuma and Gekko Hayate were chatting excitedly, one after another. It was their first time leaving the village and their first time carrying out a formal ninja mission, so they were unusually excited.

Although it was also Kurenai's first time leaving the village to carry out a mission, she focused more of her attention on Uchiha Sumi behind her.

Although Team 8 has been established for nearly a month, Kurenai Yuhi has never had a proper chance to talk to Sumi Uchiha. Sumi disappears at lightning speed after each mission, leaving Kurenai with no opportunity to catch her.

Seeing that Uchiha Sumi and Terada Yusuke had stopped talking, Kurenai Yuhi immediately slowed down and moved to the other side of Uchiha Sumi.

A smile appeared on her delicate face. "Mo, how have you been these past few years?"

Uchiha Mo glanced at her. "Not bad."

"I see... So how's your illusion magic training going?"

Although Mo's tone was indifferent, Yuhi Kurenai still felt very satisfied, with a slight smile on her lips and a very good mood.

"Not bad."

Although illusions are difficult to use in high-level games, they are still very useful for Mo with his current strength. Moreover, practicing illusions can also help him improve his control over the precision of his eye power.

Just like the illusion technique used on Terada Yusuke, you have to use your eye power to precisely control it, both to completely manipulate it and not to output too much eye power to make him an idiot.

"That's wonderful! I was always worried that your father hadn't given you proper guidance!"

As she spoke, the tips of her ears turned red, and she grabbed Mo's right hand, stealing a glance at Mo's profile.

Upon seeing this, Terada Yusuke smiled knowingly, looked away, and seemingly casually quickened his pace, walking to the middle of the group.

As soon as she finished speaking, the air fell silent. Kurenai's mind raced, and a blush crept across her face. Finally, as if gathering her courage, she straightened her back, looked up at Uchiha Mo, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Um... Mo, my father has been very busy lately. After the mission is over, could you... could you come to my house... and teach me illusion magic?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo turned to look at the girl.

Their eyes met, and the girl blushed, but her gaze remained steadfast as she looked into those clear, dark eyes.

"I remember Uncle Shinku was on duty in the Barrier Class, responsible for the period from noon to evening."

Upon hearing this, the girl felt a little uneasy, but once she made up her mind, her will was exceptionally firm.

Kurenai met Ink's gaze with an unchanging expression and calmly explained, "Recently, one of the Jonin in the Barrier Class has fallen ill, so my father will have to temporarily take on more shifts from evening to midnight."

"..."

Mo turned his gaze back, withdrew his right hand from Yuhi Kurenai's embrace, and replied, "I understand."

Kurenai was overjoyed. She tried her best to suppress the urge to grin wildly and kept her expression unchanged.

After a while, once her mood had calmed down a bit, Kurenai raised her smiling face again to look at Mo's profile.

"Mo, your younger brother is very strong, just like you were when you were little. Are you training him?"

The girl followed the boy excitedly, asking him questions one after another. Even though the boy's response was very indifferent, she did not feel tired. On the contrary, she was happy to do so.

The front of the group had fallen silent at some point, and Asuma moved forward in silence, his eyes occasionally glancing back.

At the rear of the group, Kurenai Yuhi nestled beside Mo, her face beaming with smiles, almost leaning half her body against him. Even though Mo's expression remained indifferent, Kurenai's joyful mood was as rich as honey that had been fermenting for decades before being opened, permeating the space and turning into a bitter aftertaste in Asuma's nostrils.

"..."

"Cough... Asuma?" Hayate Gekko seemed to sense his emotions. He looked at Asuma, then turned to look at Kurenai Yuhi, who had a big smile on her face.

……

The ninjas had impressive footwork, but unfortunately, there was a frail and delicate nobleman in the group.

Therefore, it took a full day for Team 8 to finally approach the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain. The journey was uneventful, with no bandits or rogue ninjas attacking the team, which made Kurenai Yuhi and Hayate Gekko somewhat disappointed, while Asuma, who was usually lively and rebellious, inexplicably looked gloomy and fell silent.

The group found a hotel to stay in, and Terada Yusuke generously booked the entire hotel, fully demonstrating his aristocratic extravagance.

After a night's rest, the group set off again, finally entering the Land of Rain...

The Land of Rain is situated between three major powers, and the situation there is complex and complicated. Therefore, Mo also became slightly more alert after entering the Land of Rain.

Before the group had traveled for long in the Land of Rain, the first major incident occurred.
