Konoha Security Department.
Under the red and white ping-pong paddle-like family emblem.
A group of Uchiha stood in the hall of the Security Department, choosing tasks.
A handsome boy squeezed in the crowd, looking up at the bulletin board full of task lists.
Normally, tasks are posted at the task posting center of the Hokage Building.
But Uchiha Ci is not a registered ninja of Konoha.
He is like a bunch of cannon fodder for the ninja coalition suddenly gathered by the five major countries during the Fourth War. He
is a family ninja belonging to Uchiha.
Although he also has a Konoha dog tag on his head, it is always different.
For example, most of the tasks are directly assigned to the family by the village, and then the family will post them directly in this way.
The main point is to participate and do what you can.
However,
this obviously does not meet Uchiha Ci's expectations.
"Fuck, there is not a single task related to the border?"
Uchiha Ci was dumbfounded.
During this period, the most dangerous places
were the areas where the Fire Country and the Wind Country were mixed,
especially the Rain Country and the Valley Country.
But at this moment, there was not a single task on the task list
about border patrol, cross-border escort of supplies, stalking and assassinating enemy officials.
All of them were tasks that could be completed within the country.
There were even a lot of D-level tasks such as finding cats, delivering letters, and plowing fields to fill the gap.
Among the C-level tasks he could accept,
the most dangerous one
was to drive back a huge wild boar that had escaped from the Death Forest not far from the village.
"Damn, I thought I could die if I could leave the village." Uchiha Ci wanted to cry but had no tears.
"But what's the difference between this and the past?"
Uchiha Ci looked ashen, and shook his head helplessly, so he had to decide to take the most dangerous C-level task of driving away the wild boar.
Let's try to give Brother Pig a meal.
But at this moment, a slightly immature hand took the lead and took down the task file.
"Excuse me, please leave this mission to me."
A handsome boy wearing a black turtleneck, short-sleeved shirt and long pants, carrying a wakizashi, smiled at Uchiha Ci.
The iconic bun nose made Uchiha Ci instantly recognize that this was the Uchiha genius who was not yet famous at this time.
Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Ci: "."
Damn, you are a registered ninja in Konoha, why are you competing with me for family missions?
"Sorry, Uchiha Ci,
this mission can help me hone my swordsmanship. I can give you the mission reward,
but please give me this opportunity!"
Uchiha Shisui smiled seriously, with sincere feelings.
With such a hearty smile, Uchiha Ci had no reason to refuse.
Anyway, it was just a C-level mission, and there was a high probability that he would not die. After the Ninja World War broke out, there would be plenty of opportunities to die, and Uchiha Ci didn't care about this one.
He was surprised: "Do you know me?"
Uchiha Shisui, of course he knew him.
But Uchiha Ci was still surprised that the other party knew him.
"Well, we have done D-level missions together. Have you forgotten?" Uchiha Shisui smiled and lied casually.
"Maybe," Uchiha Ci muttered. He had done too many missions and couldn't remember them clearly.
He was not interested in making friends with these characters in the original work. If he changed the future because of this and caused the prince to fail to save the world,
then his sin would be great!
Now, he just wanted to die and go home early.
Not wanting to pay attention to the other party, Uchiha Ci continued to look at the mission bulletin board.
In fact, Uchiha Shisui had just found Uchiha Ci's name from the mission book.
Moreover, he was shocked by Uchiha Ci's resume.
Uchiha Ci: Genin, 1 year of ninja experience,
number of completed missions: D-level 855 times, C-level 0 times.
This peer who is not well-known is actually a mission maniac. He completes 2-3 D-level missions a day on average and has not even had a day off in a year.
It's terrifying!
Uchiha Ci didn't know that this resume would shock Uchiha Shisui. He did so many tasks just to see if he could die suddenly from overwork.
But if he knew that he would be recognized by Shisui for this reason, he would definitely twist his body and shout:
"What a sin!"
This also made Uchiha Shisui more certain that this peer was not a mediocre Uchiha.
A Genin could do this!
He really burned himself for the village!
For this reason, Uchiha Shisui didn't care about being ignored by Uchiha Ci.
Instead, he took a step closer, almost shoulder to shoulder.
"You, what are you doing~!" Uchiha Ci screamed in horror.
Didn't you see that
you, Uchiha Shisui, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have such a hobby at such a young age?
Uchiha Shisui just thought that this friend was a little socially anxious, smiled knowingly, leaned close and whispered in his ear:
"Mr. Ci, I know what you think."
Uchiha Ci widened his eyes,
you, how do you know, I want to defraud insurance?
"The Great Elder will hold a mobilization meeting later, and there are two very dangerous tasks." Uchiha Shisui said solemnly,
"But don't worry, I won't let you take them!"
Uchiha Ci shuddered as if a devil was whispering in his ear.
Looking at Uchiha Shisui in horror.
I wondered if this birdman got some kind of plug-in that can listen to the inner voice.
Want to get something from my buddy?
However, the two tasks mentioned in the other party's words made Uchiha Ci's eyes light up.
"What is the task?" Uchiha Ci lowered his voice, not wanting others to hear, making the two of them seem like they were doing an underground transaction, mysterious.
"Sure enough, you are such a person!" Uchiha Shisui was stunned, and then his face was full of amazement.
In his heart, he recognized Uchiha Ci again!
Then he secretly made up his mind that he would never let Uchiha Ci die in a dangerous mission.
Such talents
should become a bridge between the village and Uchiha!
At this moment,
an old man with a gray hedgehog head, a cold half-face mask, only wearing a high-collared black robe of the Uchiha clan, and no Konoha forehead protector climbed to the top of the hall of the Security Department.
He looked around with eagle eyes, and his eyes were so sharp that people dared not look directly at him.
Uchiha Ci was startled.
Because the person in front of him was the only remaining elder of the Uchiha clan,
Uchiha Setsuna!
As a fierce man who once planned to assassinate the Second Hokage and was still alive,
he was naturally the hawkish leader of the Uchiha clan.
All the Uchiha present also cast their eyes on the old man, with respect, hatred, or indifference in their eyes.
"Why I summoned you here, I'm sure everyone present has some guesses."
Uchiha Setsuna spoke lightly, his voice echoing throughout the hall of the Security Department.
"That's right!"
"The war is about to begin!"
"After the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the entire ninja world has gradually developed into chaos."
"Here in the Land of Fire, border frictions are becoming more and more intense.
The latest news is that a small-scale battle has begun in the Land of Rain.
And in the farther outside world,
Iwagakure and Kirigakure have been harboring grievances for a long time, and it seems that a war is about to break out.
The barbarians in Kumogakure are also unwilling to give up their evil intentions, and have tried to force their way into the Land of Fields several times."
"The entire ninja world will soon be engulfed in a time of war!"
"However--"
Uchiha Setsuna paused, and said in a cold voice:
"I, the Uchiha, have experienced thousands of years of war, and such villains are not worth mentioning!"
"Now, the battlefield of the Land of Rain and the garrison in the Hell Valley of the Land of Hot Spring."
"We need two ninjas of each of the upper, middle and lower levels to form two teams to go for support."
"The Genin will not be forced, and the Jonin and Chunin will make their own choices. If the number of people is not enough, I will call them and force them to participate."
After the words fell, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Hearing the two place names said by Uchiha Setsuna, many people's faces turned pale with fright.
Uchiha Ci, who was standing in the crowd, wanted to raise his hand and sign up immediately,
shouting: It is our duty to restore the glory of Uchiha.
He suddenly became dazed, and his whole body trembled.
An emotionless voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[The talent has arrived.]
[Steel of the Heart (SSS): Please, let me steel again! - "Steel, Gate"]
With a deafening and crisp sound, Uchiha Ci suddenly woke up.
However, when he heard the name of this talent,
Uchiha Ci's heart skipped a beat.
Collect it, read it again, gentlemen, bang bang bang
