Chapter 5 The Country of Tang, the Land of Chaos
"Cijun." Uchiha Shisui stepped forward and patted Uchiha Ci on the shoulder.
He keenly observed the tremor that Uchiha Ci had just made.
However, because Shisui graduated early and was still young, he was as short as a radish, so his comforting actions were somewhat funny.
"You don't have to worry too much. I didn't expect Elder Setsuna to personally lead the team to carry out this task. From this point of view, the risk factor on your side should not be high."
Uchiha Shisui smiled kindly and offered words of comfort.
Obviously he chose the more dangerous battlefield of Rain Country, but instead he comforted Uchiha Ci here.
Uchiha came back to his senses and looked at him helplessly.
His grandma, even if he robbed my brother of my task of feeding pigs, you can also rob me of a job that will lead to death?
Can I be a human being?
"Cijun, I have to complete the task before gathering tomorrow, so I'll excuse you now."
Uchiha Shisui shook the C-level mission file he had just received, then left immediately.
After Shisui left, Uchiha Ci's eyes flickered twice.
Is the danger factor of Hell Valley in Yuno Country really not high?
This is not necessarily the case.

At night, the full moon opens the clouds, and the clear light covers the earth.
Within the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha stepped on his clogs and opened the wooden door indifferently.
In the small room, scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
"Great Elder!"
Amidst the greetings one after another, Uchiha sat down cross-legged at the head of the room at the center of the room.
Sitting next to him was the second-in-command of the Hawk Faction, Yashiro Uchiha.
And below, they are all members of the Uchiha clan who are above the chuunin level and have opened the Sharingan. There are nearly a hundred people.
This is the essence of the hawks.
"Great Elder, haven't you already decided to support a group of tribesmen with good fighting ability to go to the Kingdom of Tang?"
Yashiro frowned slightly and asked aloud:
"Why is there a genin in the list, but there is still a genin that has not activated the Sharingan."
"Didn't you explain the danger of this mission to your tribe?"
Uchiha picked up the tea cup in an instant, glanced at Yashiro, and said calmly: "I will go to this mission personally."
"Just me alone is enough."
"But this time it's not just a change in the Blood Pond clan, it's as simple as an increase in the pressure on the guards." Uchiha Yashiro analyzed with a frown.
"The Kingdom of Yu is located between the three kingdoms of Fire, Thunder, and Water. In addition, both Iwagakure and Sunagakure have recently engaged in small-scale wars with Kirigakure. This place has fallen into extreme chaos."
"There is a mixture of spies and combat troops from all over the world. In addition, there are many small organizations that appeared in small countries after the Second Ninja World War, such as Xuanyuan Clan, Prajna Clan, Evil God Cult, Earth Spider, and the remnants of the destroyed Kagero Flame Village. Kirigakure's The demolition troops of Kirisame, Oi Nin, and Iwagakure, Rasa who made military exploits on the Kirigakure front in order to ascend to the position of Kazekage, and the bounty hunter in the underground gold exchange."
"This place has turned into a mess." Yashiro Uchiha shook his head solemnly, feeling that Uchiha Setsuna was a little overconfident.
In this situation, even if the Third Hokage goes into battle in person, he may not be able to ameliorate it.
Although Setsuna Uchiha was a veteran Uchiha from the Warring States Period, it seemed a bit inappropriate to only bring one genin and one chuunin.
However, the manpower within the clan is actually not abundant. Members of the security department are restricted by Konoha and cannot leave the village without any reason.
Uchiha Yashiro suddenly mentioned: "Perhaps, we can ask Konoha for assistance?"
"That's enough." Uchiha put down the tea cup in an instant, his tone was calm and unquestionable,
"I alone am enough!"
"Yashiro, the mission to garrison Hell Valley does not come from Konoha. It is a long-term mission entrusted to Uchiha by the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder. It is also the one with the few pockets of money we have now."
"Don't base your sense of security on others, especially Konoha, Sarutobi, and Danzo." Uchiha raised his head in an instant, and a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes lit up, terrifyingly cold.
"Only things that you can make the decision count. If others give you charity, you should nod and bend like a dog to receive it. If someone is dissatisfied, he can kick you away at any time."
Uchiha Yashiro fell silent under these words.
Ninjas are fighting tools independent of production. The wealth that Uchiha can obtain, apart from ancestral business and real estate in Konoha Village, is only the financial resources developed by relying on family ninjas to complete large-scale tasks undertaken by the clan.
The annual reward for the task of guarding the Blood Pond clan is equivalent to an S-level task.
Long term, stable.
This was also the reason why Uchiha Setsuna did not allow Konoha to get involved in this mission.

Snap.
Uchiha Ci just opened the door to his residence.
A gray-faced young man wearing goggles fell from the tree in the yard.
Uchiha Ci could tell at a glance that the reason why this thing fell was because the chakra distribution and output were uneven when he stepped on the tree to practice and did not hold on to the tree trunk firmly.
"Obito, what are you doing again?"
Seeing this uninvited guest, Uchiha was slightly speechless.
This person is Obito, who just graduated from the ninja school last year.
He is also his current neighbor.
"Oh, it's resignation, haha, I'm preparing for the chunin exam!" Uchiha Obito touched the back of his head and said haha, then showed annoyance.
"Damn Kakashi, he actually used his identity as a chuunin to suppress me and made me have to obey his command!"
"It's obviously a simple task of catching a cat!"
"When I succeed in training, I will definitely throw my chuunin vest in his face!" Obito Uchiha cursed and told what happened.
Uchiha Ci was slightly startled after hearing this, a little enlightened.
Unknowingly, he had spent a whole year in Konoha, which was still relatively peaceful.
Only then did I realize that the timeline had reached this point. Obito had already formed a three-person team with Kakashi Nohara Rin last year, led by Minato Namikaze, and had been doing D-level missions for some time.
However, Obito's wish to become a chuunin this year may not be realized.
The Ninja World War is about to break out. Namikaze Minato, as an elite jounin, is about to rush to the front line. This team can only follow Minato around this year.
It will not be until the Thunder Kingdom slows down its offensive, giving Konoha a chance to breathe, that a Chunin Exam will be held in Konoha 48.
It was also at that time that Obito was seriously injured by a kick from Metkai. Although he was defeated, he was finally promoted to Chunin.
"Why are you in a daze? Grandma has cooked noodles. Come over and eat." Obito waved his hand in front of Uchiha Ci and asked, tilting his head.
"Okay, let me put things away." Uchiha nodded and did not refuse the invitation.
On the way back, he passed by the river and took back the fork and shoes.
However, a sack of cans that could be sold for money disappeared with the bag, and it was unknown which grandson took it away.
Uchiha cursed secretly, the world is really in decline.
How could such a thing happen in Konoha last year?
That is to say, the Uchiha clan of the Security Department has recently been affected by the coming war.
There are too many meetings and no time to take care of things.
This has caused the current trend of petty theft in Konoha to rise.
