Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"Such unstable factors must not be allowed to exist!"

"Moreover, the other party is a capable Jonin under the command of that old codger Setsuna."

"otherwise......"

"The Uchiha clan will definitely do everything they can to push Uchiha Keisha to a higher position."

For example, the Fourth Hokage.

"Somebody come!"

call out--

Behind Danzo, a Root ninja appeared out of thin air. His eyes, gleaming with a chilling light, shone from beneath his bull-head mask. The moment he saw Danzo, he showed a hint of fear and respect.

At this moment, the Root ninja knelt humbly on one knee and bowed, saying:

"Lord Danzo."

"How are those three members of the Uzumaki clan doing?"

"Currently, they are all receiving normal training under 'Bald Eagle's' guidance. Their ninja talent is quite good, and they should be able to..."

"not enough."

"It's simply not enough—"

Danzo let out a long sigh, interrupting the Root ninja's report. The Root ninja lowered his head, sweat beading on his forehead, and dared not interrupt.

"recent."

"Were there any special individuals sent to the battlefield?"

In terms of strength, Uchiha Keishin awakened the legendary eye that only Uchiha Madara possessed, and Uchiha Madara, with his Mangekyou Sharingan, was invincible throughout the ninja world, with no one except the First Hokage being his match.

therefore.

Danzo wasn't stupid; he definitely needed to find a different approach and had to find a way to ruin the other party's path to advancement.

The Root ninja in front of Danzo was a captain in Root who was specifically responsible for intelligence.

After thinking it over carefully, he finally came up with a person in mind.

"Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru's first squad is departing for the Fire Rain border at noon today to carry out..."

The Root ninja began to recount the content, mission, and even the members involved in Orochimaru's class's mission, reciting almost every piece of information they could recall.

—C-level battlefield-level daily mission: Battlefield intelligence changes rapidly. As mentioned before, there is an added risk along the way when using summoning beasts. Important intelligence will absolutely not be transported using summoning beasts.

Unless the ninja faces a situation where certain death is inevitable.

"Is that useless Nawaki in there?" Danzo viewed every 'useless' ninja from a very fair personal perspective.

Even Might Guy, who developed forbidden ninjutsu and recently handed it over to the village, was still looked down upon by Danzo.

The Eight Gates technique, a ninjutsu, demands extremely high physical abilities from the ninja. While opening the first or second gate is simple for a ninja, no ninja would accept using this technique.

Physical fitness is one aspect.

On the other hand, with enhanced chakra, ordinary Chunin can be faster and safer than opening the first and second gates, and will not experience the fatigue that comes with opening the Eight Gates.

As for the requirements for opening all three gates, it goes without saying that many people cannot meet the physical requirements. Even Kakashi in the later stages of his career only reached the level of opening one gate.

This is why many people consider taijutsu ninjas to be trash.

Ignoring Danzo's sarcastic remark about Nawaki, the Root ninja nodded slightly in response: "Yes, Lord Danzo!"

"It's a pity, if only that piece of trash was a Chunin."

"Continue to gather intelligence on the front lines in the Land of Rain. Especially on Uchiha Keishin!"

"Yes!"

At noon, the first bus officially departed.

Immediately afterwards, four figures moved swiftly through the forest, paths, and rocky outcrops outside the village: Orochimaru in front, Nawaki behind, Shirahoshi third, and Dai fourth.

On his first mission as a team leader, Orochimaru finally understood why Dai was disliked by other teams: his stamina was entirely dependent on physical strength.

After passing through a forest, the figure at the front landed and stopped.

Not a moment later.

Behind him, Nawaki caught up with Orochimaru, half-crouching on the ground, scanning his surroundings, and asked Orochimaru, who was not far away:

"Teacher, what happened?"

"too slow."

"At this rate, it will take at least three days to reach the border."

Under normal circumstances, Orochimaru and Nawaki could finish in two days, while Shirahoshi could finish in one day at full strength.

But for Dai, with his constitution, even taking military rations was useless.

Nawaki remained silent for a moment. Having carried out two missions in the Land of Whirlpools, he was well aware of Dai's weaknesses. On that occasion, Shikaku and the others had looked at Dai with a hint of disdain.

"Well... Uncle Dai did his best too."

"I know."

"Ultimately speaking, Dai's talent isn't suited for long-distance missions," Orochimaru objectively commented.

"perhaps."

"Being a genin who carries out D-rank missions in the village is also a good choice."

As Orochimaru's words created a somewhat oppressive atmosphere, Shirahoshi hurriedly appeared from within the forest, landing on the ground beside the rope tree. She glanced around and understood what was going on, but still pretended to ask:

"Did something happen?"

Rope Tree stood up and scratched his head: "It's still the same problem."

"Hmm. I see. During missions, it's inevitable that young, fierce beasts will sometimes be unreliable and inefficient," Bai Xing said.

In summary, he's a bit of a drag on the team, no wonder they're reluctant to leave him.

If you're on the battlefield and you're exhausted before you've even run 100 kilometers, who wouldn't despise you?

Secondly, much battlefield intelligence is time-sensitive, especially for war weapons like ninjas who are fast-moving and have combat power several, dozens, or even hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people.

Information from one second can change in the next.

After waiting for about a minute, Dai finally caught up.

At this moment, the young man codenamed "Youthful Beast" was leaning against the trunk of a large tree on the outskirts of the forest, breathing heavily.

"Good, good, so fast..."

Orochimaru, a ninja skilled at escaping, must have an incredibly fast movement speed when traveling.

At this moment, Orochimaru slowed down completely, just wanting to see exactly where the limit of not being able to open the Eight Gates was.

—Now it seems that I am still far behind ninjas with chakra talent.

Dai only began to catch his breath and rest for a short while after seeing the backs of Shirahoshi and Rope Tree, who had stopped in their tracks ahead.

In front.

From Dai's unseen perspective, under the watchful eyes of Shirahoshi and Nawaki, Orochimaru made a concealed hand gesture.

"Disperse!"

shhhhh--

Instantly, the three who had used chakra enhancements all used ordinary D-rank Body Flicker Techniques and disappeared in front of them: Normal Konoha genin and rookie chunin's Body Flicker Techniques can only be used for a moment or a few seconds, while jonin can use them continuously, and even use chakra attributes to enhance the various abilities of the Body Flicker Technique.

Both the D-rank Body Flicker Technique and the D-rank Magic Binding Technique are basic tutorials found in the Ninja Academy textbooks.

In the original work, Sasuke also used this technique once when fighting Zabuza—grabbing Naruto, appearing in mid-air in a teleportation motion, and throwing the Shadow Windmill Shuriken.

"Huh? No, wait for me!!" Might Guy was too tired to concentrate, so he thought Orochimaru and the others had continued on their way, and hurriedly ran out of the forest.

It was a little past four in the afternoon, and the sun, with its countless blinding rays of white light, was still hanging high in the sky.

A white light flashed in the eyes of the young man rushing forward.

Once the outside scenery became clear, it was a high and steep cliff with a clear stream flowing slowly below.

Matt Dae paused slightly.

Because at this moment, a Konoha team appeared in a forest in front of the river below the cliff.

"Ah."

"Isn't this Liuyun? It's been so long..."

call out--

Boom!

The kunai flew by, brushing past a strand of black hair near the young man's head. A few strands of hair quickly fell to the ground, and the kunai landed on the trunk of a tree to the left of Dai's back.

The leader was not Yuhi Shinku, because Yuhi Shinku had not fully recovered from her injuries and was unable to perform battlefield missions. Therefore, it was a relatively unfamiliar Jonin youth.

The kunai was wielded by this young man.

"signal."

"Give me the code."

The young man is Sarutobi Ryosuke, a Jonin of the Sarutobi clan who supports the battlefield and participated in intelligence gathering missions in the Land of Whirlpools.

His gaze swept over Might Guy, who was about a hundred meters away from them and completely stunned. He noticed that Might Guy wasn't wearing a green vest and thought to himself, "Why did the village send such a weak genin to die on the battlefield again?"

Previously, many teams of genin led by junior ninjas had been ambushed and attacked by enemy ninjas on their way to the border camp.

Injuries of various degrees are considered minor; many people died on the spot.

"Secret, secret, the code is yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes—" This was Mighty's first time carrying out a battlefield-level mission, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.
