Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

This trip to the Land of Grass was a disappointment for Ye Shan. There were things he wanted to tell the four people, but he gave up for some reason. The next morning, Ye Shan set off to return to the village. There were still many things waiting for him as the Hokage to deal with. Any waste of time was a luxury. He felt like a spinning top that needed to keep spinning to maintain its shape.

Kakashi and the other three hid in a big tree outside the camp and watched Ye Shan go away. The young boys and girls always felt that time was not precious and that every separation was short-lived, but they didn't know that some separations could last a lifetime.

"Well, it's time for us to continue our mission." Kakashi jumped to the ground and called his companions to come over. He took out a waterproof map and kept gesturing with his fingers.

"This mission is very simple. According to the instructions, we need to patrol area C. There has never been a battle in area C before, but the difficulty lies in the vast area, so it will be a bit tiring." Kakashi said in a deep voice. Over the past year, he has been acting as the captain and there has been no trouble.

Uchiha Obito folded his hands behind his head, looking nonchalant: "I really don't understand what those people in the mission department are thinking. They actually let me go on patrol. Isn't this a waste of talent?"

Shan Chengxing looked at the map carefully, and said sarcastically: "I think you are a small talent with great potential. At most, you can do odd jobs in the camp, and the patrols are arranged for the sake of Lord Ye Shan."

The two have been together for a long time, so Uchiha Obito would not be annoyed by a word from the other party. In fact, he is very thick-skinned: "Tsk, aren't you the same?"

Yuan Yelin pushed Uchiha Obito and said with a smile: "Ninjas should always obey orders. Let's think about how to complete the mission."

Kakashi put away the map and calmly analyzed the situation. "Area C is deep inside the camp. It stands to reason that the enemy will never infiltrate here. But yesterday, Lord Yeshan promised that the war will soon be over. There is no guarantee that the enemy will send a team to ambush and conduct reconnaissance. Please put aside your laziness and obey my orders."

The three men suppressed their smiles and nodded seriously. After a long period of contact, they realized that Kakashi had a perverted obsession with obeying rules and orders, and naturally would not touch Kakashi's bottom line for no reason.

"Obito, go to the logistics department to get supplies. Remember to ask for a few more detonating tags. Area C is too large, and we need to use traps to warn people. Hoshi, go get medical supplies..."

Just as Kakashi was arranging the tasks in an orderly manner, a middle-aged ninja suddenly appeared, causing all four of them to be on guard. After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, they felt relieved but still did not remove their hands from the ninja tool bag.

They knew this man, a ninja from the Uchiha clan, who was directly under the command of the front-line commander and was responsible for drafting and delivering orders on a daily basis. Seeing him meant that the commander was looking for you, and sure enough, Kakashi received the order to "go to the command room immediately."

Kakashi released his hands from the secret seals and said thoughtfully: "It seems that we will soon face a truly high-risk mission."

Uchiha Obito took off his goggles and wiped them carefully. After seeing that there was no dust, he put them back on his forehead protector. His voice revealed excitement: "Let's go quickly. Uncle is finally going to give me a difficult task. I can't wait."

His uncle was Uchiha Fugaku, the general manager of the front line. Of course, he was not his biological uncle. The relationship within the big family was close, and even ninjas who didn't know each other could be related. Uchiha Fugaku's father and Obito's grandfather Uchiha Kagami were brothers, so it was appropriate for him to call him uncle.

.......

In the command room, Uchiha Fugaku and Namikaze Minato sat at the top, listening carefully to the reports from the relevant persons in charge. Orders were issued one after another, and the atmosphere in the camp became tense.

"The Third Squadron is responsible for cutting off the enemy's reinforcements. Your mission is to hold on here for at least three days! Not a single Iwa Ninja reinforcement can be let go within three days, otherwise you will be punished by military law!"

"Yes!" An elite jonin took the order.

"The fourth squadron will attack the enemy's left wing, and the fifth squadron will attack the right wing. You don't need to use all your strength, just disrupt the formation of the Rock Ninjas. Remember, deep combat is not allowed!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Uchiha Fugaku looked around, the two wrinkles on his face made him look very fierce: "The rest of you all concentrate on attacking the enemy's center. I will also join the battle. We must completely crush the fighting spirit of the Rock Ninjas within three days and send them to see the Sage of Six Paths!"

Everyone stood up and responded to the order. Uchiha Fugaku added, "The logistics department will take out all the stored meat and alcohol supplies and let them run wild in the camp for two days. After two days, we will officially launch the attack!"

It is customary to indulge yourself before a big battle. Ninjas are not afraid of death, but they also need an outlet, otherwise they can easily become mentally ill due to long-term repression.

Namikaze Minato added with a smile: "You can indulge yourself, but don't be rude to those who drink and cause trouble. The war is imminent, and the number of ninjas responsible for patrols has been increased to three times the usual amount. Keep a close eye on them all."

Don't be fooled by the fact that Minato Namikaze always looks smiling. Once he gets angry, he is more ruthless than anyone else. As the deputy commander-in-chief, he is no pushover.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and agreed, "Just follow the deputy commander's instructions. Go and get busy. I'll treat everyone to a drink in the command room tonight."

The solemn expressions of the ninjas faded away. Uchiha Fugaku habitually lit a cigarette and leaned back in a chair slightly tiredly. Before he could take a few puffs, another guard ninja came in to report that Kakashi and four others had arrived. He had no choice but to force himself to meet them.

"Team Kakashi has been ordered to come!"

"Stand up, everyone. You are not outsiders. There is no need to be so formal." Uchiha Fugaku's words "you are not outsiders" brought the two of them closer. They were indeed not outsiders and they had met each other frequently in the past few years.

"Kakashi, I heard that Master Yeshan was angry with you yesterday?" Uchiha Fugaku asked with a smile, "You two haven't seen each other for a long time, what made you angry when you met?"

"Nothing, sir, is there any mission you called us here for?" Kakashi didn't want to say much and asked about the mission directly.

Uchiha Fugaku put out his cigarette and beckoned the four people to come forward: "Come forward, I have an important task for you to complete."

Kakashi and his three companions walked forward and saw the complicated situation between the enemy and us on the sand table. They also heard Uchiha Fugaku say, "I need you to cross the defense line of the Hidden Rock Village and sneak into the hinterland of the Land of Grass to carry out a sabotage mission. Do you see this bridge?"

"Is this the Kannabi Bridge?" Kakashi asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it is the Kannabi Bridge! Your mission is to blow it up and destroy the supply line of the Iwagakure Village."

Kakashi felt dizzy. This was not an important mission, this was clearly a mission to send himself to death! He knew the famous Kannabi Bridge. Many Konoha ninjas had died there in the past two years, including many outstanding jonins!

On the contrary, Uchiha Obito was inexplicably excited. He felt that his value as a ninja had been affirmed. He was the type who had weak limbs and simple minds. "Yo, let's do something big!"

Namikaze Minato smiled and flicked Obito's goggles. The mission was not that simple, not to mention sneaking into the rear to sabotage. It was a test of a ninja's comprehensive qualities, and it was not something that could be accomplished with just outstanding strength. "Take it seriously. This operation is crucial to the village. Lord Hayama has issued a death order. You know how serious it is, right?"

Kakashi stared at Kannabihashi with an unpleasant expression: "Ninjas must obey orders unconditionally. Those who don't follow the rules are trash. Am I right, Minato-sama?"

"From the perspective of regulations, there is nothing wrong with what you said. But Kakashi, I hope you remember that a ninja must learn to judge the situation. Blindly pursuing the completion of the mission is too rigid. Sometimes you need to be alert, and sometimes you need to be rigid. The captain's duty is to carry out the mission while ensuring that the team members are as safe as possible. Sacrificing the lives of companions is absolutely not advisable." Minato emphasized.

Kakashi turned his head and looked at his three companions, retorting, "Master Hayama has talked to me many times, and those who cannot give up anything will gain nothing. Since we have chosen to become ninjas, we must be prepared to make sacrifices, especially in times of war. The interests of the village and the country are greater than personal interests. What do you think?"

Minato Namikaze held his forehead and sighed helplessly, because Kakashi was right. In order to complete the mission, many ninjas chose to sacrifice themselves, but this kind of sacrifice is completely different from being sacrificed, and there is a huge gap between them.

The teacher in charge of teaching emphasized it a thousand times or ten thousand times, but the students sitting at the desks might not take it seriously. The cruel reality is the best teacher. Only when people experience it personally can they truly grow up, but Minato still wants to avoid it because the cruelty is really unpleasant.

"Kakashi, you are the youngest Jonin in the village. I hope you can remember that life comes first. This is also a valuable quality I learned from a certain adult."

Kakashi disagreed. There seemed to be a big difference in the philosophies of both parties: "Lord Minato, let's discuss how to complete the mission and stop arguing about those unimportant things."

Namikaze Minato recalled the helplessness of Ye Shan yesterday. He said in a stern voice, "The task of blowing up the Kannabi Bridge is very difficult. Many experts have failed before. For the sake of secrecy, Lord Fugaku and I have chosen you to complete the task. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" x4.

"Okay!" Minato continued, "We will set out overnight, cross the Land of Sound to the north, and sneak in from the northernmost border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth. If all goes well, we will reach the vicinity of the Kannobi Bridge by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. At that time, you will lie in wait where you are, and I will return to the camp to confuse the enemy. The rest will depend on you."

Kakashi understood that Namikaze Minato was responsible for escorting them to the Kannabi Bridge safely and secretly. He would not participate in the mission of blowing up the bridge. They could only rely on themselves. But he soon discovered the difficulty: "There is an elite squadron of the Iwagakure Village stationed at the Kannabi Bridge. How can we blow it up without anyone noticing?"

An elite ninja squadron means a fully functional squadron with combat ninjas, sensory ninjas, and medical ninjas all included. The sensory ninjas are especially difficult to deal with, often causing them to be surrounded by the enemy without realizing it, and there is no way they can get close to the Kamnubi Bridge.

Uchiha Fugaku took a sip of water and said calmly, "We will launch a large-scale battle in three days. It will be difficult for the current combatants of the Iwagakure Village to cope with it. If Huang Tu wants to maintain the stability of the battle line, he will definitely order the ninja stationed at the Kannabi Bridge to rush to the rescue. Then your chance will come."

Although he had expected this, Kakashi still felt a great deal of pressure after hearing the entire battle plan. The opportunity created by Konoha's all-out attack was handed over to him. If the bridge bombing failed, he would face huge accusations.

Minato patted the table lightly, trying to be as relaxed as possible and said, "Don't be too nervous. This is just an attempt. Success or failure doesn't mean much to the village. Besides, the four of you have completed difficult missions many times. I think sneaking in and destroying a bridge should be a piece of cake."

Even the usually carefree Uchiha Obito fell silent, not to mention the meticulous and quick-witted Kakashi. He even wanted to disobey orders. This was not the time to be brave. The mission was related to the lives and property of hundreds of Konoha ninjas. Every second he delayed would result in the death of several more people on the front line. The pressure was extremely great.

But orders are orders, and a ninja's duty is to obey orders. No one can bargain during wartime unless he wants to become a rebel ninja.

"This is the mission appointment letter signed by the Hokage himself, appointing Hatake Kakashi as the captain, Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Obito, Yamashiro Hoshi, and Harano Rin to blow up the Kannabi Bridge. You can take it to identify its authenticity." Uchiha Fugaku took out an exquisite document and said.

Kakashi apologized and took the mission document respectfully. The content written on it was almost the same as what Uchiha Fugaku said. The Hokage's name was signed in the lower right corner, and the name was stamped with the bright red Konoha mission seal and the Hokage seal.

Ordinary missions naturally do not need to be so complicated, but once it involves A-level and above missions, they need to be signed by the Konoha Mission Office and the Hokage in person. This has been a practice for many years.

The mission letter was passed around among the four people and returned to Kakashi. He carefully kept it close to his body and began to make requirements: "The undercover mission is extremely dangerous. I need a large amount of precious medical drugs and the highest grade military ration pills. The more the better."

"You can choose from antidotes, healing drugs, and even concentrated stimulants. I've already made arrangements." Uchiha Fugaku had expected this.

"I also need a map with accurate enemy deployment, a thousand detonating tags, and a new chakra-conducting ninja sword."

"Can!"

"I want several water and lightning attribute ninjutsu sealing scrolls, all with a power of B rank or above."

"Can!"

Kakashi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Uchiha Fugaku, who stood up and said proudly: "What do you need? I have everything I need, but I only want the Kannabi Bridge to be destroyed. Is that clear?"

The four of them nodded heavily, and Minato also stood up and said with a smile: "Let's eat first, and then we'll leave. You have a quarter of an hour to pack your things. I'll wait for you in the cafeteria in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes!" x4.

A mission that concerns the fate of two ninja villages is about to begin, and a battle that will determine the future of four people is also half-hidden. Ye Shan, who is reviewing documents in the Hokage's office, does not know what kind of turmoil his unintentional personnel arrangement two years ago will bring to this village and this ninja world.

The cycle of the ninja world seems to be unchangeable. It is like a satellite whose orbit has long been set. Even if there are some disturbances along the way, it will still run according to its destiny.
