Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Inside the wooden house, Genma opened his eyes.

It's a memory relayed from the clone in the Land of Grass.

Xuanma formed hand seals, and the spirit communication spell was spread out on the wooden floor.

Bang!

Aoba Yamashiro appears.

"Hey, Genma, what's all this time...?"

Yamashiro Aoba was filled with doubt.

Genma said directly, "The Iwagakure surprise attack force is passing through the Land of Grass, and they will probably launch their surprise attack at dawn."

Yamashiro Aoba immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "They actually did it!"

Genma continued, "Transform your clone into a falcon and report to Master Sakumo!"

Yamashiro Aoba said, "I'll send my clone back to Konoha, and my main body will go to Sakumo-sensei's place to avoid any accidents along the way."

Xuanma remained silent.

Yamashiro Aoba adjusted her sunglasses and smiled, "I know you're worried about me, but I have your talisman, don't I?"

Xuanma nodded slowly: "Then be careful."

Yamashiro Aoba nodded: "Don't worry, since we've made preparations, we won't let Iwagakure succeed."

After saying that, he created a shadow clone.

Genma formed hand seals, transforming Yamashiro Aoba and his clone into hawks, and said, "Iwagakure's forces number around 800, far exceeding our strength. Be careful."

The two falcons nodded, then flapped their wings and flew out of the cabin, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

After thinking for a moment, Xuanma created another clone, which transformed into a mole and burrowed away.

We still need to set up an ambush near the Kannabi Bridge.

……

Because of the short distance and the fact that they traveled in a straight line by air at a fast speed, Yamashiro Aoba arrived at the border defense unit where Hatake Sakumo was located more than two hours before dawn.

"I am Yamashiro Aoba!"

While still in the air, Aoba, the mountain dweller, introduced himself to avoid being attacked by shuriken.

"Lord Genma's transformation technique!"

"How enviable!"

The Konoha ninjas on night watch watched with envy as the hawk landed.

Of course, they still subtly surrounded Yamashiro Aoba, with a hint of vigilance.

After deactivating his transformation, Yamashiro Aoba reverted to human form and immediately said, "I have important information. Please take me to see the Commander right away!"

The Konoha ninja were startled. After exchanging glances, one of them took charge of leading the way, while the others stayed behind to keep watch at night with even greater vigilance.

Yamashiro Aoba soon met Hatake Sakumo and Mimura Yomaki, the commander in charge of the unit.

"Aoba, Genma sent you. Did something go wrong on his end?"

"We've just met," Hatake Sakumo asked.

Yamashiro Aoba shook her head: "Teacher, Genma sent me here."

"Iwagakure has dispatched a surprise attack force of no less than 800 men, which is currently passing through the Land of Grass and is expected to arrive at dawn to launch the attack."

Mimura Yoru's expression changed: "800 people!"

There are fewer than four hundred people here.

Moreover, since it was a surprise attack, the Iwa ninja must have organized an elite force.

Mimura Yoru looked at Hatake Sakumo: "There's still time. We can ask Jiraiya for help."

Sakumo Hatake's expression turned grave: "I'm afraid that won't work."

"The Iwa ninja over there will definitely coordinate an attack, leaving Jiraiya and the others with no energy to rescue this side."

"If we send the intelligence back to the village overnight and then wait for reinforcements from the village, it will probably take at least two days."

Yamashiro Aoba quickly replied, "My clone has already transformed into a falcon and flown back to Konoha."

Mimura Yoru calculated: "Then, the village's reinforcements should arrive as early as tomorrow morning."

It's a brand new day now.

Sakumo Hatake calmly replied, "We can hold on until tomorrow."

"Ye Juan, pass on the message and start preparations."

Mimura Yoru nodded.

……

On the wooden roof, Genma looked up at Onoki in the sky, then turned his gaze southward.

A fierce battle must have broken out there.

In Sage Mode, Genma could clearly sense the chakra fluctuations of his teachers, Hatake Sakumo and Yamashiro Aoba.

Ok?

Suddenly, Genma sensed that the [Settings Collection] seemed to be moving.

He opened it and saw that the setting value had increased by 5 points.

Where did it come from?

Xuanma was stunned after looking at the log.

Kakashi Hatake has been promoted to Jonin!

Wait, how old is Kakashi again?

I remember now, my birthday is in September. Thankfully, I'm already 10 years old.

Xuanma was both amused and exasperated.

His record as a Jonin at the age of 10 was almost broken.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi really is...

Two consecutive 10-year-old Jonin.

However, Kakashi's current ninjutsu skills are enough to qualify him as a Jonin.

Chidori, Lightning Release: Body Flicker, Lightning Tiger Kill, Hatake Sword Technique, Earth Release.

I wonder how well he's progressed in his Flying Thunder God Technique.

"I'm all prepared for the other teams to go and complete the Kannabi Bridge mission."

Xuanma sighed inwardly.

Fate is unpredictable.

……

Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Kakashi had only recently been promoted to Jonin, and Rin Nohara, who was well-prepared, invited his classmates from the village to celebrate and give him gifts.

Obito Uchiha, who had also become a Chunin, was quite embarrassed while holding a bouquet of flowers.

He thought it was a celebration for him.

That arrogant Kakashi always steals the spotlight!

Obito Uchiha was very unhappy.

It's just a pity.

Before they could even have their celebratory lunch, the Watergate team was notified of an urgent mission.

"Kakashi, I'm sorry, the celebration can only wait until after the mission is completed."

Minato Namikaze sounded slightly apologetic.

Kakashi calmly said, "There's really no need to celebrate this kind of thing."

Nohara Rin said regretfully, "But we've already discussed giving you a gift with everyone."

Seeing Nohara Rin's expression, Uchiha Obito immediately said, "As for the gift, it's the same as giving it to her when we get back, right?"

Nohara Rin said, "That's true, but they're different after all."

"But luckily I was prepared."

Rin Nohara took out the medical kit she had prepared: "Kakashi, this is a gift for you. Congratulations on becoming a Jonin!"

Kakashi reached out and took it: "Thank you!"

Then he looked at Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha took a step back: "What are you doing? I had no idea you could actually become a Jonin."

Kakashi pursed his lips and turned to ask Minato Namikaze, "Minato-sensei, what kind of urgent mission is it?"

Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha's attention was immediately diverted.

"Let's talk about it on the way!"

Minato Namikaze left the village first, and Kakashi and the other two immediately followed.

After leaving the village for a while, Minato Namikaze introduced the mission details: "This mission is divided into two parts."

"The border defense forces of the Land of Grass are under heavy attack by the Iwagakure surprise attack force and need our support, but this is a task assigned by our teacher."

"The other is to infiltrate the Land of Grass, circle around to the enemy's rear, and destroy the enemy's important supply line. That place is called Kannabi Bridge, which is the only supply passage between the Land of Grass and Iwagakure Village."

"Kakashi, this will be your first mission as a Jonin leading a team."

Kakashi nodded solemnly, "Understood, I will try my best!"

Obito Uchiha was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Minato-sensei, are we going to carry out a mission alone?"
