Chapter 238 Sending Letters

Under the bright sunshine.

After completing his meditation practice, Toshiro left the Nanga River and headed towards his family's residence.

Even after he reached the sage mode, he did not interrupt his meditation practice.

With the help of this kind of practice, it can help him feel the breath of nature, which will help him enter the immortal mode faster.

After returning to Konoha, the Nanga River, which was less visited and relatively close to the village, became his first choice for training.

Speaking of which, about half a year ago, he saw a little ghost jumping from a nearby cliff from a distance. It's a pity that the other party was awakened by the crow of a crow at the last moment and successfully saved himself.

Otherwise, there will be many things missing in the future.

It has been nearly half a year since the Kannabi Bridge mission ended.

Konoha also successfully signed an armistice agreement with Iwa Ninja, and the conditions were quite generous.

This made a large number of ninjas who lost relatives and friends in this war very dissatisfied.

In this regard, the Sandaime is also preparing to use his abdication to calm the emotions of the villagers.

As for the successor, he has already decided.

It's just that the other party is still young and needs to work hard before he can retreat to the background.

But these things have nothing to do with Toshiro.

However, how could the Sandaime Hokage, who was still in power, allow him, an Uchiha, to live leisurely in the village so easily?

"I don't know what the mission is for you, Sandaime-sama, to come to me?"

After breakfast, Toshiro came to the Hokage Building in the center of the village. Early this morning, he received a summons from the ANBU.

"There is indeed a task that needs you to complete~"

"It's my pleasure!"

Although he said this on his lips, Toshiro was already scolding him in his heart.

I just enjoyed the leisurely days of punching in and clocking in for half a year, so I assigned tasks to myself. I really didn't want him to be idle.

“The thing is, although the village has signed a peace agreement with the Iwa ninja, the war has not ended there.

Cloud ninjas are testing the northern border from time to time. Although Jiraiya has been sent there, this is not a long-term solution! "

After saying this, the Sandaime paused for a moment, as if he wanted to see Toshiro's reaction.

It's a pity that he didn't show any thoughts about this news, with a calm expression on his face, quietly waiting for the Sandaime to follow.

"And the Kingdom of Water has become more restless recently, so I hope you can complete this task, so that we can usher in peace as soon as possible~"

‘You have brought peace, how can I refuse? ’

Hearing the Sandaime's speech, Toshiro did not expect that just half a year later, he would be sent to the front line as cannon fodder again, but he didn't know whether it was on the northern border or the country of water. Orochimaru's men over there.

At this time, Orochimaru had been 'exiled' by the Sandaime Hokage to the front line of the battle with the Kingdom of Water, and went to serve as a battlefield commander, probably to distract him and make way for someone.

And his place is probably where he will go.

But he didn't panic, he was no longer the kid who was trembling when facing Orochimaru three years ago.

Especially after his battle with Loess.

"The mission scroll is here. I hope you can carefully consider whether to accept this mission!"

Before Toshiro could think about it, the Sandaime threw a scroll to Toushiro. Moreover, the word caution was emphasized.

For Kakashi's Sharingan, he had to make some compromises and make some arrangements for Toshiro's whereabouts. Just because of his identity, it would not be so easy.

If he failed to complete this mission and unfortunately died in the mission, it would be no wonder that he, the Third Hokage, did not keep his promise.

The opportunity has been given to the other party, but you Uchiha did not seize it.

‘I knew that this old man would be up to no good if he came to find me! ’

There is a lot of inner drama, but Toshiro is now able to keep his emotions and anger a secret. With a calm expression, he unfolded the mission scroll in his hand.

He wanted to see what kind of mission Sarutobi Hiruzen would prepare for him.

"hiss!"

After just briefly glancing at the contents of this scroll, Toshiro gasped. The composure he had gained from so many years of experience on the battlefield was thrown away by him.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, is this old man trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife? Otherwise, why would you arrange such a fatal task for him?

It's not like Toshiro Uchiha, who judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. It was really outrageous for the Sandaime to assign him this task.

"Originally, this mission was planned for Namikaze Minato to complete. There is no one more suitable for this mission than him!"

"But he is not in the Leaf Village now. After thinking about it for a long time, I think you are the best person to complete this task!"

After saying this, the Sandaime Hokage pressed the hat on his head with his hand. Quietly observing Toshiro's reaction.

This mission, to put it simply, is to send a letter.

It's just the address and recipient, which is a bit troublesome, and if you don't get it right, something will happen.

"I wonder what is in the letter that the Third Hokage is going to send to the Fourth Kazekage?"

He really didn't want to do such a task, so Toshiro expressed his intention very tactfully.

According to common sense, how could the letter that the Hokage gave to the Kazekage be revealed to him, a ninja on a mission?

But at this time Toshiro asked, I believe the third generation Hokage can tell the meaning.

"About this mission..."

Without answering Toshiro's question, he took a puff from the pipe in his hand. The Sandaime Hokage squinted his eyes and looked at Uchiha Toshiro below.

He began to explain to him the importance of this mission, and at the same time secretly pointed out the reasons for this mission.

He was very dissatisfied with Toshiro's response.

You must know that a Konoha ninja is not qualified to refuse the mission issued by the Hokage. The other party's current attitude clearly does not take the 'Will of Fire' to heart.

However, considering the other party's last name, he became more determined to let the other party complete this task.

"In that case, I understand~"

After listening to the Sandaime Hokage's explanation, Toshiro understood the origin of this mission. Have a general understanding. At the same time, the other party's attitude also made him understand that it was basically impossible to refuse this mission based on his status as an Uchiha.

In other words, it was precisely because of his last name that this task fell on him.
