Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Yugen woke up instantly and subconsciously prepared to fight back. Then he realized that there was only Kohinata Shingan beside him and no enemy in sight.

"Hagen, it's dawn, we should set off." Kohinata Shingen took a step back and then said this.

What caused Yu Xian to exit the instance was not an enemy attack, but a teammate's wake-up call.

Although it's a bit absurd, the current peaceful situation is definitely much better than actually encountering an enemy.

Yu Xian looked up and then reached out to block out some of the bright morning light. He sighed inwardly. There was nothing he could do; the long duration of the dungeon naturally brought about this problem... If the dungeon time were just set at one night, then he could complete the dungeon while sleeping.

"Huh? It's actually sunny today?"

Having spent too much time in the gloomy environment, Yu Xian found herself somewhat unaccustomed to such a bright, sunny day.

Even the sounds of birds, beasts, and insects chirping in the forest seemed more frequent and cheerful.

"Yes, such weather is very rare in the Land of Rain."

Yu Xian checked the dungeon status again and found that although the corresponding "progress" had been saved, he could not enter the dungeon at any time. He would have to wait for the cooldown period to end before he could enter the dungeon again.

"Let's go."

After tidying up their campsite from the previous night, the two set off for the main camp at the border.

Due to Yu Xian's slacking-off strategy, the results achieved by Yu Xian and his companion in this operation were mediocre on the surface, even making them seem rather passive. However, even such a result is actually reasonable.

After all, they were a Chunin duo, so their fighting strength was naturally slightly weaker than that of a Jonin team.

While it's not fair to say "I'm weak, so I'm right," they should have kept a low profile in this situation. However, after returning to camp from their mission, they actually took the initiative to meet with the two commanders.

In the central tent of the camp, both commanders, Danzo Shimura and Homura Mito, were present.

"Kohinata and Hazen, it's you two. Is there anything special you need to report?"

Shimura Danzo did not speak; it was Mitokado Homura who greeted him first.

"Lord Mitomon, Lord Danzo, I don't know if this counts as a special case, but we dealt with a rather well-known enemy during this mission, so we felt it necessary to report it," Yugen immediately explained.

"A well-known enemy?"

Mitokado Homura didn't have high expectations. With the strength of these two, what powerful enemy could they possibly defeat?

Then Kohinata Shingen took out a sealing scroll, unrolled it, and unsealed it, revealing a well-preserved corpse inside the tent.

"This is..." Mitokado Homura looked at the pale face. Although the person looked familiar, he was not sure if it was really that person.

"A member of the Iwagakure Explosion Squad, a user of the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, a Jonin named 'Kari'... there's no doubt about his identity." Kohinata Shingen introduced the corpse's identity.

Mitokado Yan stood up, quickly walked to the body, and then squatted down to examine it.

"It is indeed the Explosion Release Ninja Hunter."

Soon, Mitokado Homura confirmed the other party's identity. Inadvertently, he and Danzo exchanged a glance and found that there was some disbelief in each other's eyes.

"You did a great job. This ninja caused us a lot of losses. He was always the spearhead of Iwagakure's attacks. This result is well-deserved."

"As the tide ebbs and flows, we will gradually gain the initiative on the battlefield. Releasing news of the death of the Explosion Release ninja will also dampen the morale of Iwagakure to some extent."

When a ninja completed an extra mission objective, Mitokado Homura naturally didn't hold back his praise.

These two commanders, one focused on armed conflict and the other on ideological work, seemed to be cooperating quite well.

Next, Yugen and Kohinata Shingen recounted their encounter. They didn't need to go into the details of the battle, but they did need to explain the cause and effect of the fight.

"You will submit a formal battle report later... By the way, for ninjas with Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai like this, the village has an additional bounty system. The village will not forget your contributions, and we hope you can produce more achievements in the future."

"Yes, Lord Mitomon."

The so-called reward is nothing more than giving more mission funds. No matter how much more, money doesn't really mean anything to Yu Xian at this stage. He has very few uses for money, except for purchasing ninja tools.

Bringing back the corpse of the Explosion Release ninja was actually a stepping stone to prove his abilities. Famous ninjas could indeed be used, but what Yugen wanted to prove was not his direct combat power, but his research ability.

Now is the time to "reinforce the impression".

After a combat mission, ninjas who leave the battlefield are theoretically exhausted and can only take the time to rest and recover their strength.

However, Yu Gen seemed full of energy. He completed the battle report that afternoon, and spent the rest of the time preparing a research plan... well, a research plan for scientific ninja tools.

That evening, he went to Danzo's tent and asked to see him again.

"What do you need me for?"

Danzo's attitude remained as indifferent as ever, and he still maintained a stern expression, pretending to be a master.

"Lord Danzo, this is the battle report."

"Let's leave it here for now."

Despite having his personal time taken up, Danzo outwardly showed no reaction to Yugen's initiative in submitting the battle report to him, but inwardly he was quite pleased.

Moreover, Danzo knew very well that Yugen wouldn't come here on his own initiative because of something like this, so he didn't even look at the report, but stared at Yugen's face.

"Is there anything else?"

"Lord Danzo, I am developing a ninja tool with versatility comparable to an explosive tag, and I need your support in this regard." As he spoke, Hazen took out another scroll.

Yu Xian spoke with considerable confidence, after all, he wasn't a researcher, he was merely a technology transfer worker.

But that was too confident a statement, and Danzo certainly didn't believe it. Comparable to explosive tags? Every ninja knows perfectly well how universal explosive tags are.

Danzo was clearly taken aback for a moment before taking the scroll from Yugen's hand... If it weren't for maintaining the airs of a superior, he wouldn't have wanted to touch this impractical scroll at all.

However, when Danzo unrolled the scroll, he immediately discovered the complete research approach for a certain ninja tool.

"This is……"

"A versatile ninja tool that allows an ordinary ninja to use various powerful and highly difficult advanced ninjutsu without mastering hand seals, techniques, or even chakra nature transformation."

"It can be simply called a scientific ninja tool, Lord Danzo."

Yugen said very seriously that he did not believe Danzo was not interested in such ninja tools.
