Chapter 7: Don't talk nonsense (please follow)

Any information?

In a hidden corner of the forest, Yuzhi watched Shancheng Qingye slowly get up, and he curiously asked.

The battle didn't take long; they were ambushes from the start, and the three of them, including Yuzhi, were all exceptionally talented.

With the element of surprise, the battle barely wasted any time, and it hardly caused any commotion.

However, the Rock Ninja Captain Yuzhi didn't strike to kill, which also gave Aoba room to act.

"Hmm, I got some interesting intel."

Aoba nodded, he looked a bit tired.

After all, he had been using crows for reconnaissance, and in the previous battle he had done his best to assist.

After the battle, he still had to probe the enemy's mind for information, which really drained him.

"But this guy is just a Chunin, so the information he got isn't much."

According to his memory, there is a stronghold about ten kilometers to the northeast, which is a Large Supply Point of Rock Village.

Besides, there are many squads like theirs on the road, and the supply point seems to have a Special Jonin.

This information isn't much, and it's not very specific either, but Yuzhi still nodded.

Even though they are people deep behind enemy lines, if Yuzhi had memories of his past life, he still wouldn't know what they were supposed to do.

All we can say is that these ninjas rely on building a towering success from nothing, rising and falling by their own efforts.

"Large Supply Point?"

Akai's eyes lit up at those words, but he quickly turned his gaze toward Yuzhi.

He's just hot-headed, not 'worried about both studies and conduct,' and he can see that Yuzhi and Aoba are worried he'll act recklessly.

So he's still relatively honest now, even though he keeps coming up with bad ideas.

"How many people are at that supply point, and who is the Special Jonin?"

Yuzhi naturally saw Akai's gaze; although a bit hesitant, he still asked a question.

A Special Jonin may not be as well-rounded as a Jonin, but such people are generally not weak.

Even if it's just a position, even if promoted during wartime it signifies notable achievements, so Yuzhi couldn't help but worry.

The three of Yuzhi are decent, but hard skill can't beat hard fate; even if strong, they shouldn't be too arrogant.

They're just three people; if there are too many enemies, they should still retreat.

"The garrison inside the stronghold is about twenty people."

Aoba immediately relayed the information.

"As for that Special Jonin, his name seems to be Xumo Zhi."

"Xumo Zhi?"

Hearing that name, Yuzhi tilted his head; he seemed to have some impression.

He seems to be a ninja very skilled in Earth Release, and this guy also apparently besieged Kakashi.

Yuzhi is a transmigrator, but he couldn't possibly remember everything clearly.

Especially, he's the kind of extra who disappears after one episode.

【Obtained New Side Quest】

【1. Destroy Iwagakure Supply Station, cause turmoil in Rock Village】

【2. Tell the plan to Rock Village, defect and become a member of Rock Village】

【Task Reward Unknown】

Just as Yuzhi was pondering, his system suddenly issued another task.

Just seeing these two tasks, Yuzhi almost couldn't hold it together.

He was about to go back and shout, 'Father-killing heavenly brother, the realm cannot be conquered, Fugaku is not the rightful heir, the clan belongs to Yuzhi's public.'

What does this newly popped second task mean? Does it want him to start a new Uchiha?

If that's the case, wouldn't even fishing require a helmet?

Although it's not impossible, Rock Village would probably be happy to have the Uchiha bloodline continue in their village.

But the problem is his task is to overthrow Uchiha Fugaku's tyranny, and it also tells him 'Your wife, I will raise,' so how can he defect?

I understand.

Yuzhi nodded helplessly, after accepting 【Task 1】, he directly said.

"Now, rest on the spot, Aoba, please mark the situation inside that stronghold as detailed as possible."

I think we should take action.

Yes.

Shancheng Qingye's expression also turned serious.

After Yuzhi gave the orders, he simply sat on the ground, and Akai proactively jumped onto a tree to start keeping watch.

However, it's clear that Akai is still very excited.

Not enough manpower, insufficient strength, really a death sentence.

Compared to Akai's excitement, Yuzhi didn't show any expression on his face, but he felt somewhat depressed inside.

If he were strong enough, like Madara Uchiha, he could probably charge through alone, right?

But soon he self-mockingly shook his head: with that strength, he wouldn't even need to directly slay Uchiha Fugaku; he could even have toppled Konoha!

After returning, to overthrow Uchiha Fugaku we'll need more planning, greater strength, and more helpers.

For some reason, Yuzhi suddenly thought of his other side quest—Uchiha Ultimate Weapon.

To be honest, he still has no clue about this task.

The information in the scroll is too scarce, and he also doesn't know where that guy is buried.

Besides, after being sealed for a hundred years, it's already turned into a pile of bones—what's there to go look for?

However, this is just a thought—side quests can grant abilities from others.

Even if it's just a pile of bones, perhaps he could still earn some rewards?

Especially, that person was even acclaimed as the 'Uchiha Ultimate Weapon'; surely his strength in life wasn't weak either.

"Looks like, after going back, I need to think about those families that have good relations with the Senju."

Yuzhi rubbed his chin, suddenly realizing that perhaps the Leaf Village has an ancestral home of the Uzumaki clan.

Moreover, Kushina is now living together with Minato Namikaze—

"Today's luck is not bad, but tomorrow might be dangerous; we must be more careful."

In a mountain cave, Kakashi looked at the new bandage on his shoulder, intending to say thanks.

However, considering their current situation, as the current squad leader, he couldn't help but give a reminder.

Minato Namikaze sent them to the rear, and after dealing with the Magic Leech responsible for reconnaissance, he returned to the front line.

Rock Village is too crazy, Leaf Village's pressure is too great, and Minato Namikaze must attend to the front line.

Fortunately he has the Flying Thunder God Technique; otherwise he couldn't carry out this mission.

"Tch, this morning Water Gate Sensei just said that."

Obito lay to the side, chewing a blade of grass indifferently, but his gaze toward Kakashi was still somewhat different.

He already knew about Kakashi's situation, and he also felt quite moved inside.

"Don't worry, we'll be careful."

Rin Nohara also smiled at the side, but she soon sighed.

"I don't know how Yuzhi and the others are doing now; seriously, that day he didn't tell me he was also coming to undertake this mission."

On the day of departure, upon seeing Yuzhi, she finally realized that Yuzhi was also going to carry out a mission.

Even though she herself had to face such a dangerous mission, she didn't forget to encourage herself to follow through, which also left Rin feeling quite moved.

But her words instantly made Obito beside her unable to hold back; Obito had always remembered that day Rin was supposed to come notify him of the mission.

As a result, Yuzhi intercepted him midway, which made Obito extremely displeased.

"That guy is just a bastard."

Obito, displeased, spoke up.

"It's just that luck was good and he awakened the Sharingan; otherwise."

"Don't talk nonsense, Obito."

But before Obito could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Rin's dissatisfaction; her tone unconsciously became a bit stricter.

"Yuzhi is a person full of conviction, with a gentle heart; he's not what you say!"

Obito, momentarily choked up, was at a loss for words; he stared at Rin in disbelief, his breathing becoming rapid.

Kakashi, seeing this, also shook his head helplessly—but just as he was about to tell both of them to be quiet.

A roar suddenly shattered the night's tranquility, and the ground trembled slightly.
