My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

"They're so slow. Is this the standard of ninja training for the Uchiha clan?" Before Uchiha Touhuan and his two companions could even speak after arriving, the Jonin from the Utatane clan was the first to question them.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two civilian ninjas who wanted to go up and greet Uchiha Touhuan froze on the spot, not knowing what to do. After all, both Uchiha and Utatane were people they could not afford to offend, even though they were only special Jonin at the very least.

Uchiha Touhuan glanced at the person who spoke, smiled disdainfully, ignored him, and walked up to the two civilian ninjas with a warm smile, extending his hand.

"My name is Uchiha Touhuan. It is an honor to be able to carry out this mission with you all."

The two civilian ninjas were somewhat flattered as they shook hands with Uchiha Touhuan. They hadn't expected that the new head of the Uchiha clan, a powerful figure who had already made a name for himself in the Three Kingdoms, would be so easy to talk to.

"Seiichi Nagai, I hope Chief Tohwan will take good care of you on this mission."

"Ryuta Kuroki, with you here, this mission will definitely be completed successfully."

"Not at all, this mission will require everyone's close cooperation," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

Seeing that Uchiha Touken and his companions were completely ignoring them, the Jonin of the Utatane clan, Utatane Itsuki, became somewhat annoyed: "Didn't you hear what I said? You're so late, and you don't even have an apology?"

"I remember, it seems like it's not time for the agreed meeting yet." Uchiha Touhuan turned around, his eyes turning cold.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito behind them instantly activated their Sharingan and stared at each other.

"Furthermore, didn't your elders teach you to have at least the most basic respect for the strong?" Uchiha Touhuan's three-tomoe eyes slowly rotated.

Inuzuka Kaze, Gekko Hayate, and Uzuki Yugao originally wanted to come over and greet Uchiha Touhuan, but given the current situation, they could only stand aside and watch. As for the other two Hyuga clan members, they crossed their arms and watched the scene coldly.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's set off." Kakashi put away Little Liu Bei and came to the middle of the group, speaking at this moment.

"Since Captain Kakashi has spoken, let's go." Uchiha Touhuan turned off his Sharingan and said with a smile back on his face.

Although the first meeting wasn't exactly pleasant, the group, led by Kakashi, still submitted the exit procedures at the village entrance.

The mission wasn't time-sensitive, so no one was in a rush to get there.

According to intelligence, Orochimaru recently appeared on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rice Fields, so the direction everyone is heading is north of the village.

During their journey, Inuzuka Kaze's ninja dog named Sumaru would occasionally gravitate towards Uchiha Touhuan.

"Your nose is really sharp." Seeing this, Uchiha Touhuan smiled and took out a few pieces of raw meat from the sealing scroll and fed them to Mowan.

After finishing eating, Mowan barked twice in satisfaction and then licked Uchiha Touhuan's palm.

"Huh? It's strange that Momo is so friendly to you, a member of the Uchiha clan." Inuzuka Fu was also a little surprised. You see, although the Inuzuka clan and the Uchiha clan didn't have any conflicts in the village, the Inuzuka clan, where everyone kept dogs, and the Uchiha clan, where most of the summoning contracts were with ninja cats, didn't have a very friendly relationship.

"It's probably because I'm one of the few in the clan who hasn't signed a summoning contract with the Ninja Cat Clan. Also, since my summoning beast is a Ninja Hawk, I always keep raw meat on hand, so this little guy can smell it," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

"I see." Inuzuka Fuya smiled broadly.

This little incident brought Inuzuka Fu and Uchiha Touhuan closer together. That's how the Inuzuka clan works; if you get along well with their dogs, they become especially friendly.

Seeing this, Hayate Gekko and Yugao Uzuki also came over to greet Uchiha Touhuan.

As time went by, everyone gradually became more familiar with each other. Even the two Hyuga ninjas, after Uchiha Touhuan took the initiative to break the ice, put down their airs and chatted with everyone for a bit. Meanwhile, Utatane Itsuki and Mitokado Hayato, who had not gotten along well with Uchiha Touhuan from the beginning, were gradually isolated.

As evening fell, the group arrived at Tanabata Street, located in the northern part of the Land of Fire.

"It's getting late, let's rest here for the night," Kakashi said.

With no objections, Kakashi led everyone to a small inn to get rooms. Just then, Uchiha Touhuan suddenly spoke up, "How can we get proper rest in a place like this?"

"Hmph, we're on a mission right now, it's not your place to complain." Zhuan Shenshu sneered, "If you're not satisfied, you'd better go back now."

Uchiha Touhuan completely ignored their taunts and said, "Since we've all ended up in the same team, I'll pay for today's expenses. Kakashi, you, as the team leader, shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"Of course, no problem." Kakashi nodded.

"That's good." After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan walked towards the center of the town on his own.

The others hesitated for a moment, especially the two civilian ninjas. However, seeing that Kakashi followed Uchiha Touhuan without hesitation, the others followed as well, leaving Utatane and Mitokado Hayato standing there.

Uchiha Touhuan led everyone to the most luxurious hot spring hotel in the city. After booking a suite for each person, he suggested that they find a place to have a couple of drinks, which everyone readily agreed to.

Everyone thought that Uchiha Touhuan would at most treat them to a barbecue restaurant in the city, but to their surprise, Uchiha Touhuan took them directly to the most luxurious restaurant in the city.

It should be noted that the customers of this kind of shop are mostly nobles and wealthy merchants from the Land of Fire. Among the crowd, even Inuzuka Kaze, who has a not low status in the Inuzuka clan, has never been to such a place to spend money. As for the two commoner ninjas, although they are already Jonin, they live a very frugal life because they need to save money to exchange for ninjutsu. They don't even dare to think about such a place.

Therefore, everyone was naturally a little reserved after taking their seats.

At that moment, Uchiha Touhuan, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first to raise his glass.

"Thank you all for giving me face. Now that you're here, relax a bit. The Uchiha clan has always been generous to its friends," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

"That's true!" Inuzuka Kaze laughed and downed his drink in one gulp. "I accept you as a friend!"

After everyone had a drink, Kakashi finally spoke up: "Speaking of which, Touhuan, you're not an adult yet, are you? It's not good to break the three ninja prohibitions so early."

"People who are always clutching those erotic books don't seem to have the right to say that," Uchiha Touhuan said irritably.

Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere at the table became lively.
