During the war, some of the ninja tools used by Konoha ninjas were provided by the village, which reflects Konoha's wealth and resources.

The Land of Fire is a rich and resource-rich country. The annual funding that Konoha receives from the Daimyo is enough to make Sunagakure and their Kazekage drool with envy.

However, even with Konoha's economic resources, it's impossible to guarantee that every ninja will be provided with whatever they need. Therefore, if ninjas feel that their quotas are insufficient for certain high-value consumables, they will need to pay for them themselves.

During the break, Yu Xian purchased some explosive tags, smoke bombs, shuriken, steel wire rope, blank reels, and other similar items from the logistics department of the front-line camp.

According to Akimichi Torifu's previous statement, the origin of explosive tags may be related to Explosion Release. It would be great if we could figure out how explosive tags are produced... Using explosive tags to smash people on the battlefield without regard to cost is also an efficient way to kill enemies.

Ninjas earn a considerable income, but it's easy to have money but not the life to enjoy it, so Yugen used all his mission earnings to purchase various ninja tools.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished a round of purchasing and was about to leave the front-line logistics department, he saw a group of Uchiha ninjas passing by.

The Uchiha clan is relatively easy to identify, not only because they possess a certain special aura, but also because they often wear clan crests, regardless of whether they are friend or foe, as if they are afraid of not knowing their origins.

Among the passing Uchiha ninjas, one of the energetic young men looked somewhat familiar... Hmm? Could it be Uchiha Fugaku?

The age matches up; at this time, Fugaku Uchiha should only be nineteen years old, just the right age to go to the battlefield and die... Fugaku Uchiha can be said to be the culprit of the Uchiha clan's extermination. If he hadn't gotten married, the Uchiha clan might have survived.

Well, things that happen ten or twenty years from now are a bit far from Yugen's future. If we're talking about what connection he has with the Uchiha clan now, it's only that one of his teammates is an Uchiha ninja.

After the Uchiha ninja's figure passed by, Yugen then saw Akimichi Torifu.

"Captain, you look much better. It seems you're recovering well."

"Yes, I received treatment at the frontline hospital, so I recovered... You're doing well too."

The two did not meet by chance; Akimichi Torifu had come specifically to find Hagen.

Yu Xian nodded. "Captain, I've also been to the frontline hospital. Thanks to the help of the medical ninjas, I've recovered."

At this moment, he realized that Akimichi Torifu hadn't come to him for no reason, so he asked directly, "Captain, is there something you need from me?"

Could it be that a second mission is about to begin so soon?

"It's nothing, don't worry, we haven't received any new mission orders yet."

Akimichi Torifu reached out and patted Hagen on the shoulder. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to realize what to say next:

"Yugen, based on your performance on the battlefield, I know you weren't a genin to begin with. I can understand your idea of ​​hiding your strength, but... on the battlefield, a genin is definitely no safer than a chunin or jonin. You should be able to understand that too."

Yu Xian: "..."

What kind of talk is that? It's as if he's deliberately hiding his strength, when in reality he's just a sixteen-year-old genin.

"Captain, you're overthinking it. I just never had the chance to participate in the Chunin Exams before I was dispatched to the battlefield... Captain, you know my background. Sometimes, even ninjas like me can't form a team during the Chunin Exams."

That's all Yu Xian could say. He couldn't very well say that my strength only surpassed the genin level after I used a cheat code.

Akimichi Torifu suddenly realized, "I see, I misunderstood you. This makes things easier. The Ninja Exams are a product of peacetime. In wartime, frontline ninjas are promoted based solely on their strength and battlefield performance... Come with me, with your strength you should be promoted to Chunin."

Yu Gen instinctively didn't want to be promoted, but putting aside the Jonin, there was one thing he felt Akimichi Torifu said correctly... On the battlefield, there was not much difference in the survival probability between Genin and Chunin.

Ninjas fight in squads, which often include Jonin, Chunin, and Genin. In any case, Genin are the weakest link in the battle line.

Most importantly, the captain has already noticed his performance... Akimichi Torifu led the team on the mission with the intention of discovering talent.

So, Yugen had no choice but to follow behind Akimichi Torifu.

The two arrived at the Konoha Ninja Organization Management Office one after the other, and Akimichi Torifu began to help Hagen submit various materials... It seems he was well-prepared.

Among the materials submitted by Akimichi Torifu were proof of participation in high-difficulty missions, proof of killing Iwagakure Jonin, certification of Akimichi Torifu's qualifications as the captain, and the stamp of Mitokado Homura, the highest commander of the camp.

With all the necessary materials readily available, Yugen, ninja registration number 005311, was promoted from genin to chunin.

After leaving the management office, Yu Xuan was still a little dazed. "Captain, is being promoted to Chunin really that simple? Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"Being on the front lines, everything should be kept simple... No matter what happens, your status as a Chunin will not change."

Well, his nature as cannon fodder in the Fourth Shinobi World War will not change.

For the next few days, Yu Xian did not receive the order to launch an attack. He could only stay at the front-line camp to cultivate and practice. Cultivation certainly had some effect, but compared to the rapid progress he made in the dungeon, Yu Xian was not satisfied with this level of progress.

He was waiting for the instance to cool down.

However, just two days before the dungeon cooldown ended, he received orders for the team to regroup.

A new mission is coming.

Unfortunately, I was just a little short of being able to re-enter the instance and investigate Orochimaru's secret laboratory.

But Yu Xian had no choice but to be ordered to attack.

This time, Yuzuru was the first to arrive at the rendezvous point. After a while, the team regrouped, and Akimichi Torifu didn't waste any words and went straight to explaining the mission.

"The mission we are to carry out this time is still related to the reconnaissance mission we carried out last time... Iwagakure has changed its route of advance, and in order to keep track of their movements, we need to establish a new reconnaissance base."

It sounds like the next step in a series of missions.

"Should we go and carry out the reconnaissance mission? Captain, I have a clear understanding of my own abilities. It seems that my intelligence gathering skills alone are insufficient to grasp the movements of Iwagakure."

Omori Kairi hesitated. Generally speaking, she wasn't the kind of reconnaissance ninja with strong overall abilities, and she was the only one in the team capable of carrying out mid-to-long-range reconnaissance activities. In other words, the task of monitoring Iwagakure's movements would fall on her... She was somewhat insecure and worried that her negligence might cause some irreversible consequences.

Konoha has no shortage of reconnaissance and sensory ninjas, so this kind of mission shouldn't be assigned to this squad.

Sending a pair of white eyes over there would instantly maximize the reconnaissance efficiency, wouldn't it?

"No, it's not that we're going to carry out reconnaissance missions. We're just responsible for establishing outposts initially. Only after we complete our missions will reconnaissance ninjas be stationed there," Akimichi Torifu explained.

This made the mission seem more reasonable, but Yu Xian frowned secretly, still feeling that the mission was strange... What was so special about establishing a base? Why split the base establishment process and the reconnaissance process into two separate tasks?

Are reconnaissance and sensory ninjas incapable of doing civil engineering work?

Yu Xian had some vague guesses, but couldn't verify them with the captain.

"Any further questions? If not, check the status and prepare to depart!"

"That's all, Captain."

So, after a few days, the team set off again, preparing to head to the dangerous area near Iwagakure.

…………

Konoha Frontline Camp, Command Post.

There were five people in the tent: besides Mitokado Homura and Shimura Danzo, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade were also there.

"Have all the teams set off yet?"

"We're off. Akimichi's team is taking the more dangerous Route 3... which is the route through Suspect Number 3. If they encounter the enemy at the designated reconnaissance outpost, it means that Number 3 leaked the information."

It's clear that Danzo Shimura orchestrated a fishing operation, which was quite efficient, the only problem being that the team acting as bait was in considerable danger.

However, although Shimura Danzo was cold-blooded and ruthless, he wouldn't simply give up on a fighting force of Akimichi Torifu's caliber. So he addressed the three-person team inside the tent:

"Once the situation is confirmed, the three of you should be ready to rush to our aid immediately."

"Understood."

These three have little room to express their opinions; they can only accept orders.

"Then set off quickly. You also need to advance a distance to shorten your reaction time and be ready to provide support at any time."
