-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ('Line break')

When Makoto Uchiha came to Konoha Gate, Minato hadn't arrived yet.

He first registered his arrival with the guard and then waited for the arrival of Minato.

About ten minutes later, Minato Namikaze finally arrived at the gate.

It's just that he is not alone, there are four people beside him.

Three of them were wearing Ninja Mail, while the other middle-aged man was wearing ordinary clothes. If he was not wearing a Forehead Protector, Makoto Uchiha thought he was a civilian, because the man was carrying a big pot on his back.

"A total of five Jonin? It seems that this Mission is not easy." Although Makoto Uchiha was mentally prepared for this S-Class Mission, he saw that in addition to Minato Namikaze and himself, there were three Jonin, and a strange Ninja making him suddenly became more cautious.

"Everyone has arrived. Everyone introduce yourselves. I am Minato Namikaze, the Captain of this Mission, I am good at instantaneous movement." Minato Namikaze smiled.

"I'm Juro Watanabe, Jonin, I am good at Wind Style."

"Sakamoto Izawa, Jonin, I am good at Thunder Style."

"Tou Ogata, Jonin, I am good at Water Style."

"I'm Makoto Uchiha, Jonin, and I am good at Konoha Style Swordsmanship."

When Makoto Uchiha introduced himself, the attention of the three Jonin focused on him and his Clan emblem on his left shoulder.

After all, Makoto Uchiha's age seemed to be on the younger side and they didn’t expect him to be a Jonin at a young age.

Then, it was the turn of the middle-aged Ninja carrying the wok. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he scratched his simple face with an embarrassed smile, "Well, my name is Maruboshi Kosuke. I am good at cooking and tracking."

Maruboshi Kosuke?

When Makoto Uchiha heard the name, he remembered. Isn't this the Eternal Genin, also known as Konoha’s Strongest Genin? His true strength is not weak.

The three Jonin, like Sakamoto Izawa in his early twenties, who were the elites who had followed Orochimaru to participate in the Battle of Kikyo Pass, when they heard a Genin was accompanying them, their faces suddenly changed.

After all, they are completing an S-Class Mission, if there is someone who is dragging them down, the failure rate of the Mission would naturally increase.

Even if Maruboshi Kosuke said that he is good at tracking, can his tracking ability compare to a Jonin’s?

Any S-Class Mission is an important Mission related to the safety of the village, and they are extremely dangerous. Once it fails, it is difficult to guarantee one’s safety. Even if they return to the village alive, the loss caused to the village after the Mission’s failure is not small nor can they bear it.

Remembering Konoha’s White Fang, who was even more prestigious than the Sannin, who failed to perform an important Mission and caused huge losses to the village. In the end, he chose to commit suicide because of the pressure from the public.

This trip includes the Yellow Flash, which shows the importance of the Mission.

Sakamoto Izawa could not understand why the village sent Makoto Uchiha, a new Jonin let alone a Genin.

Although the Uchiha clan is well-known, Sakamoto Iizawa has never heard of Makoto Uchiha among the genius Ninjas of the Uchiha clan.

Makoto Uchiha has no reputation at all, and obviously, his strength is not outstanding.

What's more, he also participated in the Battle of Kikyo Pass. In Sakamoto's eyes, Makoto Uchiha only survived the Mission out of luck.

However, even if Makoto Uchiha is a Jonin and has a Jonin’s strength, what about Maruboshi Kosuke. How is a Genin participating in an S-Class Mission?

In his opinion, this time the S-Class Mission has Minato Namikaze which should be enough to complete the Mission, so there is no need to send burdens to the Mission. When he thought about this, Izawa’s face twisted but he didn’t voice his opinion as he knew the Village wouldn’t send burdens deliberately.

The other two Jonin, Watanabe Juro, and Ogata Tou are both veteran Jonin in their forties.

Knowing the deeds of Maruboshi Kosuke, they did not have any contempt for him.
After everyone introduced themselves, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Minato said: "We will leave the village first, and I will tell you the specific content of the Mission on the road."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

......

In the dense forest outside Konoha Village, a group of six people is rushing.

Minato Namikaze is telling others about the content of the Mission.

"Our Mission this time is to investigate Hidden Cloud's intelligence and understand the situation inside Hidden Cloud after the death of the 3rd Raikage.

They needed to see the conflict between Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud intensify, when it did, the end of the war would be nigh.

Of course, it is best to take this opportunity to test Hidden Cloud's intentions, a truce is the best result so that they can concentrate on dealing with Hidden Rock Village.

At present, all troops in Hidden Cloud Village have withdrawn, and some of them are left in the north of the Country. Therefore, as they pass through there, at the very least, they must investigate the strength and deployment of Hidden Cloud's army to prevent Hidden Cloud from sending troops to attack Hidden Leaf.

In the case that the peace talks with Hidden Cloud are not possible, try to create chaos and delay time to prevent relapse into the siege of the two Countries. "

Makoto Uchiha's face suddenly became serious after Minato Namikaze finished talking about the content of the Mission.

The Mission this time is called a Mission, but there are many things to do.

If they want to test whether Hidden Cloud is willing to negotiate with Konoha, they have to try to contact Hidden Cloud's senior management, but now the two Villages are still at war, once the talks collapse, their lives would be in danger.

No wonder they’re sending Minato.

It is best if Hidden Cloud is willing to make peace. If they are unwilling to negotiate, they are going to create trouble for Hidden Cloud.

Minato has [Flying Thunder God] and can come and go freely, but they are different.

Makoto Uchiha does not know what the 3rd Hokage is thinking, wouldn’t it be safest to send Minato alone on this Mission?

Or would they be treated as abandoned children that can be discarded when necessary?

Although Minato Namikaze will likely not abandon them, the battle situation would constantly change, except for their strength, no one can guarantee their safety.

......

After two days of rapid marching, Makoto Uchiha's Team came to the northern border of the Land of Fire.

In the evening, Makoto Uchiha and others camped in the forest to rest.

Six people were sitting around, in the middle was a simple stone stove with a large pot on it which was boiling with fragrant fish soup.

From time to time, Maruboshi Kosuke puts spices and wild vegetables and mushrooms picked from the forest into the pot.

"Senior Kosuke, your cooking skills are not inferior to those chefs!" Makoto Uchiha sipped the fish soup and ate the tender fish.

"I’m not that good, eat more if you like it." Maruboshi Kosuke scratched his head and smiled, he then looked at Sakamoto Izawa who was holding an empty bowl in a daze and asked:

"Izawa-Kun, do you want another bowl?"

"I..." Sakamoto Izawa hesitated while smelling the fragrant fish soup, then lowered his head and handed the bowl to Maruhoshi Kosuke, "I would like another bowl."

Sakamoto Izawa was a little embarrassed after listening to Watanabe Juro and Ogata talk about the deeds of Maruboshi Kosuke in the past two days, especially when he remembered that he had spoken harshly to Maruboshi Kosuke.

"Hey? Izawa, you do not mean that Ninjas are not just Shinobi but they can also cook?"

"Yeah, Izawa, didn’t you say you wouldn’t drink a sip of the soup, how come you’ve eaten 3 bowls in one go? Don't force yourself if you don't like it!"

Seeing this situation, Watanabe Juro and Ogata Tou started to tease Sakamoto Izawa.

"Stop messing around! I am the one who caught the fish, s of course I can eat it!" Sakamoto Izawa said in anger.

"Hahaha!"

"It's so fragrant!"

"Delicious!"

Watanabe Juro and Ogata Tou looked at each other and smiled and continued eating.

Minato Namikaze watched the Team take a short break after 3 days of rushing on their way, the atmosphere became much more harmonious, and his heart was certain. After all, they were about to leave the territory of the Land of Fire, and then they would face a life and death crisis, the Team became harmonious. This also increased the success rate of the Mission. Since he brought these people out, he would not leave any behind.

The night darkened, and in the second half of the night, Maruboshi Kosuke and Uchiha Makoto were watching. The two were sitting around the bonfire and talking quietly.

Aaawoooo~

He suddenly heard the howl of a wolf.

This is Warwick's warning.

Makoto Uchiha's face changed, and he directly used the skill [Blood Hunt], and suddenly his vision changed:

Nine Ninjas wearing Hidden Cloud Forehead Protectors in a semi-arc formation were approaching them, slowly enclosing them within.

These people are about two hundred meters away from them, the average Ninja cannot find them at this distance.

There is a Sensory Ninja in the opponent's Team, otherwise, it would be impossible to spot them in the dense forest with lush vegetation, besides, the opponent accurately avoided the simple warning traps they set up.
