Chapter 45 Shocking Change

With the end of the Chunin Exam.

Uchiha Ofu, Yuhi Kurenai, and Uzuki Yugao from the first team officially became members of the Chunin.

Afterwards, he was celebrated for his advancement in the Chunin Exam by his classmates including Kakashi, Nohara Rin, and Might Guy. With mutual encouragement, the classmates were in a great mood and got along very well.

After some time, Uchiha Yufeng's first shift finally returned to its previous calm.

Every day I follow the team to do some D-level tasks, catch cats, and help people water the trees...

Although life is simple, it is very comfortable.

"The Hokage-sama summons you!"

When Uchiha Yufeng was holding Yuhi Kurenai's hand to read her palm, an Anbu ninja came over and said.

Uchiha Yufeng nodded and ran towards the Hokage Building with the two of them.

As soon as I arrived, I saw that the Hokage building was full of ninjas.

"Teacher Zhenhong, why are there so many people here!?"

The three of them found Yuhi Shinku and asked in a low voice.

"There might be trouble!"

Xihi Shinku did not answer directly, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Seeing Xihi Shinku's reaction, the three of them became more serious.

"I've noticed that everyone who was called here today was at least a Chunin, so the three of you need to be prepared!"

After taking a quick look around, Xihi Zhenhong reminded the three people with a serious look on her face.

They are all Chunin and above. Why are they mobilized with such a large force?

A hint of thought flashed across Uchiha Yufeng's eyes.

After a while, the Third Hokage arrived.

"Let's ask everyone to come here today. There is a task for everyone to be assigned!"

The Third Hokage finished speaking and asked the Anbu people around him to distribute it.

As the leader of the first team, Yuhi Shinku read the document and handed it to Uchiha Yufeng and the other two.

Uchiha Yufeng looked at the contents of the document with a fixed gaze.

Assigned mission, A-level!

Tomorrow, the team will go to the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire to expel the ninjas from the Sand Village who have sneaked into the Land of Fire.

The specific location is shown on the map.

Uchiha Yufeng pulled out a document from the back, and a detailed map appeared before his eyes.

The arrows above mark the direction and location of this mission.

"Recently, our Land of Fire has been frequently invaded by Sand Ninjas."

"The Fire Country Daimyo has sent a message to our Konoha Village to send ninjas to eliminate the Sand Village ninjas in the Fire Country."

After hearing what the Third Generation said, Minato Namikaze stood up.

"Third Hokage, expulsion means..."

The Third Hokage groaned.

"If you find any traces of the Sand Ninja, drive them away verbally first. If they continue to go deep into our Land of Fire, no matter what the reason, kill them!!"

When they heard the word "kill", the ninjas were shocked.

"Yes!"

"If there are no questions, follow the tasks just distributed, with one squad as one unit, and start the action!"

After the Third Hokage finished speaking, he glanced at Uchiha Yufeng and the other two, paused, and spoke again.

"Also, if there is any danger, prioritize your own life!"

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

Everyone looked determined and spoke to the Third Hokage in unison.

"Disperse!"

As soon as the words fell, the ninjas left the Hokage Building one by one.

Uchiha Yufeng and the other two followed Yuhi Shinku and came to Ichiraku Ramen.

"I really don't know whether your promotion to Chunin is a good thing or a bad thing!"

As a veteran jonin, Yuhi Shinku is quite sensitive in judging the situation of the entire ninja world.

The situation today is on the brink of war.

Uchiha Yufeng and the other two saw Yuhi Shinku fall silent.

Look at each other.

"Teacher Zhenhong, we have also looked at this mission. In fact, it is not very deep from the location."

Yuhi Shinku looked at Uchiha Yufeng.

"Yufeng, what do you think of this situation?"

"What's the situation? Are they the ninjas from the Sand Village in the Land of Fire this time?"

Yuhi Zhenhong nodded.

"I don't think it's very optimistic. The ninjas from the Sand Village entered the Land of Fire. Either they want to start a war, or something happened in the Sand Village, and they are afraid that Konoha will take action if they find out."

Uchiha Yufeng did not say it clearly. After all, the Kage of the Sand Village was killed by a young man. No one would believe it if he told him.

"Some time ago, news came that the Kazekage of the Sand Village was missing..."

After Xihi Zhenhong finished speaking, his expression changed.

"No, you just became Chunin, I have to talk to the Hokage about your affairs, I can't let you do this mission!"

Xi Ri Zhen Hong's face was solemn and his voice had just fallen.

Uchiha Yufeng walked up and stopped him.

"Teacher Shinku, all those who come to receive the mission this time are ninjas above the level of Chunin. We have just been promoted to Chunin. If we don't go, what is the point of this exam to be promoted to Chunin?"

Xi Ri Zhenhong glanced at the three people and looked at the young boys and girls in front of her with a firm look in her eyes.

I couldn't bear it. After all, they were my students. They looked childish. It was like I was just throwing three kids to the border. It was too dangerous...

"Teacher Shinku, we are your students, and we are also ninjas of Konoha..."

Mao Yue Xi Yan put down her chopsticks and said seriously.

Xihi Zhenhong was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, his eyes more serious than ever before.

"Since you have all made up your mind, I won't say anything more. However, you must protect your own safety. Put the mission aside for now. Ensuring the safety of the three of you is the first priority! Do you understand?"

"After you finish eating ramen, pack your things and gather at the old place!"

"Yes!"

The four of us each had a big bowl of tonkotsu ramen and enjoyed the meal with gusto.

After dinner, Uchiha Yufeng headed towards his home.

I simply cleaned the house, packed my daily necessities and left.

I bought some daily necessities from the street and went to the orphanage in Konoha Village.

Pharmacist Nono still insists on going out to earn money as usual and is not in the orphanage.

After putting down the things I bought, I briefly chatted with the manager of the orphanage about the recent situation and stayed there until it was almost time to gather.

……

At this time, in a high-end casino in the Fire Nation.

Tsunade stood in a daze looking at the cards on the gambling table, while Shizune beside her had an excited look on her face.

"Lady Tsunade, we have never won since we left Konoha. This time, we will finally win!"

Tsunade came back to her senses when she heard Shizune's words.

His eyes fell on the gambling table, his face solemn.

Tsunade played a few cards at random.

The faces of the people opposite were livid.

"Why are these cards so smooth?! What bad luck!"

Discard the next hand.

Several rounds in a row.

Tsunade made a lot of money, and Shizune beside her was so excited that her eyes were full of money.
