The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"Yes, Teacher Jiraiya, did you accidentally take the wrong mission scroll given to you by Lord Hokage?" Uchiha Enye asked weakly.

"Or maybe you overslept yesterday and are playing a joke on us now?" Uzumaki Kushina also complained.

Even Minato looked at his teacher with suspicion at this moment.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at? I specially applied for this mission from Hokage based on your abilities. With your abilities, will it be helpful for you to complete ordinary D-level and C-level missions?" Jiraiya looked at the four little ones in front of him with an expression that said he was doing it for their own good.

After a while of contemplation, they had to admit that what Jiraiya said made sense.

Ordinary D-level and C-level missions are basically used to test ninjas with Genin strength.

Although they are only Genin now, their actual strength is far beyond that of Chunin.

Those ordinary tasks are just a waste of time for them.

The four of them just suddenly couldn't accept this huge feeling of gap.

It was agreed that Genin could only carry out D-level and C-level missions, but now they are given a big one. After graduation, the first mission starts with A-level. Who else is there?

No wonder it was said in previous lives that Konoha's Jonin were performing simple tasks, Chunin were performing difficult tasks, and Genin were performing nightmare tasks.

"Sure enough, love it, this is the treatment of Konoha's Genin." Cang Si sighed helplessly in his heart.

The legend of Konoha's Genin begins with their generation!

Since the mission has been assigned, the four members of Cang Si’s team had no choice but to accept it.

It's impossible to run back to Konoha now, find the Third Hokage, and then tell him that this mission is too difficult and we can't complete it, so you should find a team of senior ninjas to complete it.

If this were true, not only the Konoha high-level officials, but even the main Hyuga clan would give up on training him.

In the past few years, Cang Si has been trained with great efforts by the main family, otherwise how could he have caught up with Minato Namikaze in strength with Jiraiya behind him?

"Then let's set off, but I have to remind you, unless we encounter special circumstances, I will not take action. This is an experience for you guys. If I take action, the nature of the situation will change." Jiraiya calmly dropped another bomb.

However, since several of them had even accepted the A-level mission, it was not difficult for them to accept that Jiraiya would not take action.

In the following days, several people wandered around the territory of the Fire Nation, basically going wherever they went without any specific goals.

The main reason is that the scope of this mission is too broad, covering the entire Fire Nation.

Even if they include Jiraiya, there are only five of them. If they want to clean up the entire territory of the Land of Fire, it will take several years.

Just now, they have cleared out a gang of thieves.

In this month, Cang Si and his team have cleared out at least 10 of these small gangs, if not 8.

These people basically became mobs because of the outbreak of the Ninja World War, and then they turned from good citizens into mobs, and then turned from mobs into bandits, making a living by robbing and looting.

During this period, even if they encountered a few stray ninjas, they were basically at the level of Genin, so Cang Si and his companions were able to easily take care of them.

"A-level missions seem to be just like this, so boring." After easily dealing with a stray ninja, Uchiha Yan's arrogance emerged again.

"Yan, don't be careless. This is an A-level mission after all. There is a great possibility that we will encounter elite jonin from other villages." Minato reminded Uchiha Yan.

Over the past month, Uchiha Yan went from being cautious and giving his all in the beginning to not taking A-level missions seriously at all now.

Cang Si and the others didn't know what to say.

First of all, it is true that they haven’t encountered any powerful ninjas recently, which caused Uchiha Yan to be so proud.

Secondly, and most importantly, when Uchiha En killed a thief for the first time, he was so stimulated that he awakened the two-magatama Sharingan!

Cang Si really didn't expect that this guy who seemed so arrogant on the surface was so fragile inside that even ordinary thieves didn't dare to kill him.

You should know that after Uchiha En killed the thief, as his Sharingan changed from a single magatama to a double magatama, he was so shocked that he fell into a coma.

It took him a day and a night to wake up from his coma, for which he was often ridiculed by Uzumaki Kushina.

This may be the reason why many people are not used to killing someone the first time.

Two years ago, when Uzumaki Kushina was kidnapped, Souji and Minato had teamed up to kill a Kumogakure jonin and cripple two others.

Uzumaki Kushina even experienced the destruction of her country at a very young age.

Therefore, killing people while performing tasks does not put much pressure on them at all.

Only for Uchiha Yan, this could be said to be his first killing experience.

What's more, the Uchiha clan itself is full of emotions, and Cang Si and the others understand this point.

The gap between theory and reality is vividly reflected in Uchiha Yan.

And with Uchiha En awakening the Second Magatama Sharingan, his strength has also increased greatly, and now he is no weaker than Uzumaki Kushina.

After falling into a coma after killing someone for the first time, Uchiha Yan started to get used to it. A ninja must go through the baptism of blood in order to grow.

However, unexpectedly, Uchiha Yan became more and more arrogant, and now he no longer takes this A-level mission seriously.

This kid will definitely suffer a big loss. This is the common thought of several people, but they didn't say it out loud.

Because even if they told Uchiha Yan at this time, he probably wouldn't listen.

Because the Uchiha clan is so stubborn, they won't turn back until they hit the wall!

From Uchiha Madara to Uchiha Sasuke, they all had this personality.

"Okay, let's take a break. I just heard some important information from a thief." Jiraiya clapped his hands and called a few people over.

"Teacher, is this news about ninjas from other ninja villages?" Minato asked.

"Well, according to a thief I interrogated just now, when he went to the valley northwest of this village to collect herbs a while ago, he was sure that there were signs of human habitation there, but when he went to look for it, he found nothing." Jiraiya told him the information he had obtained.

"Is there anything strange about this? Doesn't it just prove that someone once lived here?" As expected, Uchiha Yan was the dumbest one among the group and asked the question.

"How stupid! Being able to avoid the thief's detection and not killing the thief doesn't seem like the style of a wandering ninja at all." Uzumaki Kushina habitually confronted Uchiha En.

This sentence also successfully made Uchiha Yanqi grin.

, but the core mission of their team is to protect Uzumaki Kushina, so of course he can't fight with her.

"The operation is so secretive, and they don't randomly kill ordinary thieves to avoid alerting the enemy. This cannot be done without a certain level of discipline." Cang Si analyzed with a gleam in his eyes.

"There is only one possibility for them to do this. They are ninjas sent by the other four major ninja villages to cause trouble in our Land of Fire. Killing ordinary thieves may not only attract attention, but also help the Land of Fire to quell the rebellion. They won't be so stupid!" Minato made the final judgment.

"Well, your analysis is all good. Uh, only you, Xiao Yanzi, need to work harder, otherwise you will appear special every time." Jiraiya first praised the other three people, then looked at Uchiha Yan with a slightly regretful look and said.

"Teacher Jiraiya, could you please stop calling me Xiao Yanzi all the time? It really sounds weird." Uchiha Yan expressed his protest.

"Hmm? Then I'll call you Yan boy." Jiraiya agreed to Uchiha Yan's request with a smile.

Does that make a difference?

Uchiha Yan really wanted to continue resisting, but after thinking it over he decided to give up.

Who knows what even more unpleasant nickname Jiraiya will call out next.

The others watched all this and tried to hold back their laughter.

"You can analyze what to do next by yourselves. I won't ask any more questions." Then Zilai ran into the thieves' village, found some wine that the thieves had stolen, and drank it happily.

This attitude clearly meant that he wanted Cang Si and the others to figure out a solution themselves and he would never interfere.

"No, Master Jiraiya, this time we are facing ninjas from the other four major ninja villages, among whom there may be elite jonin. Are you really going to just ignore it?" Souji was the first to stand up and protest against Jiraiya's lazy behavior.

"Little Cangsi, with your strength, if you unite together you should be able to deal with even the elite jonin. Even I suffered a great loss at that time. You have to have confidence in yourselves." Jiraiya was still drinking his wine, expressing his high recognition of Cangsi and the others.

Is this a question of confidence?

If they don't handle this well, and there are powerful ninjas on the other side, they may lose their lives at any time.

But there was no way, since Jiraiya had made up his mind, they had no way to force him to change his attitude.

"Then let's discuss the battle plan." Minato took out a map of the Fire Country and said to them.

They bought this map from a small vendor during their journey. It wasn't very detailed, but it happened to have the coordinates of this area.

Looking at the detailed information of the valley depicted on the map, several people began to discuss.

The battle plan they finally came up with was to let Uchiha En, who had the two magatama Sharingan, take the lead to attract the enemy's attention, and then let Cang Si use his Byakugan to observe the valley and note the positions of all the enemies in detail.

Then Souji told Minato this information and asked him to go up and assist Uchiha En.

Cang Si is responsible for dealing with enemies hiding in the dark.

Uzumaki Kushina was responsible for guarding the valley entrance to prevent the enemy from escaping.

This is just a tentative plan. As for the details, if something unexpected happens, we can only react accordingly.

After discussing the plan, they decided to take a good rest and go to the valley to carry out the mission tomorrow. After all, it was almost dark.

Chapter 43 Wuyang Valley

After a night's rest, the members of Souji's team got up early the next day. After eating the breakfast prepared by Uzumaki Kushina, they ran towards the northwest valley where ninjas from other ninja villages were suspected to be hiding, with Jiraiya waving goodbye.

"Let's act according to the plan we arranged yesterday." As the temporary captain of the team, Minato Namikaze said while running.

"understand!"

Cang Si and the other two nodded in agreement.

When they were about to reach the valley entrance, several people stopped at the same time, and then walked forward carefully step by step.

"We're here. Well, Yan, I'm leaving it to you. If anything unexpected happens, just send a signal. Don't force yourself. We will rush over to support you as soon as possible." Namikaze Minato always had a smile on his face, but he rarely showed a serious and cautious expression when he looked at Uchiha Yan.

After all, as the temporary captain of the team, in the absence of Jiraiya, he is not only responsible for the mission, but also for the life safety of his teammates!

What's more, several people in the team are his most important friends in his growth process, and he doesn't want his friends to suffer casualties in the first mission under his leadership.

"Don't worry, Minato, I promise to complete the task perfectly." Uchiha Yan replied confidently.

Although he was confident, Uchiha En was not a brainless reckless man. After answering Namikaze Minato's words, he carefully checked the ninja tools he carried with him.

Then he took a deep breath and walked towards the valley entrance with determination.

Jiraiya learned from the gang of thieves yesterday that this valley entrance is called Wuyang Valley!

As the name suggests, it is a valley where even sunlight cannot penetrate.

Looking from the valley entrance, one can only see a dark valley path. On both sides of the valley are cliffs about seventy to eighty meters high, covered with many herbs, mosses, mushrooms and other vegetation that can survive in dark environments.

The entire valley was in the shape of an hourglass, with the valley entrance located right in the middle of the hourglass. Cang Si and his companions and the group of hidden ninjas were on both sides of the hourglass respectively.

The side where Cang Si and his companions were staying was densely wooded, and sunlight could easily shine in through the gaps between the trees.

As for the unknown group of ninjas, they were hiding on the other side where even the sunlight could not penetrate.

Seeing that Uchiha Yan's figure had completely disappeared into the valley, Cang Si and the other two calmed down, looked at each other, and began to act.

Several people quickly placed detonating talismans at the entrance of the valley and set various traps.

One is to prevent the enemy from escaping, and the other is to be prepared in case the enemy is too powerful. If they are defeated, they can use these traps to buy time to escape.

"Kushina, the rear is now left to you. Similarly, if any accident happens, send a signal immediately and we will withdraw as quickly as possible." Namikaze Minato said to Uzumaki Kushina who stayed behind with a worried look in her eyes.

"Well, you also have to be more careful. If things are impossible, you have to give priority to your own safety. After all, don't forget that your most important task is to protect me." At the end, as if to ease the depressing atmosphere and to comfort herself, Uzumaki Kushina rarely showed her weak side.

This was actually unbelievable for the always strong-willed Uzumaki Kushina, and she even refused the arrangement of staying behind at first.

But this kind of task has to be done by someone, even to put it bluntly.

If Souji and his companions were killed in the valley, Uzumaki Kushina must immediately report the news back to Jiraiya.

No matter how noble their identities are, in the eyes of Konoha's high-ranking officials, they are not as important as Uzumaki Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

So in the end, after being persuaded by several people, Uzumaki Kushina had to compromise and accept this arrangement.

This also made Cang Si and the others feel relieved.

You know, sometimes when a strong-willed person gets stuck in a rut, even ten bulls can’t stop him!

What’s more, her character is sometimes even more boyish than that of boys, Kushina Uzumaki.

"Ah, we remember that our team's first mission is to protect you, Kushina, so we will definitely come back safely." Namikaze Shui

The door said after giving Uzumaki Kushina a reassuring smile.

Then, about fifteen minutes after Uchiha En stepped into the valley, Minato and Souji also headed towards the valley entrance, leaving behind Uzumaki Kushina who still couldn't hide her worry.

"Blind eyes!"

At the entrance of the valley, Cang Si opened his eyes and looked into the depths of the valley.

"Sure enough, Yan has attracted the attention of all the ninjas in the valley. This way we can follow them quietly."

In the black and white world observed by Cang Si's Byakugan, the group of ninjas in the valley all fixed their eyes on Uchiha En who was still walking in.
