Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

At the same time, in a jungle in the Land of Fire, Hatake Sakumo, who was traveling at a very fast speed, suddenly froze.

"It's been less than two hours and one of the shadow clones has already run out of chakra?"

Hatake Sakumo narrowed his eyes slightly, digesting the information fed back by the shadow clone.

"Uchiha Yi... this swordsmanship is truly astonishing. What Patriarch Fugaku said is true."

After thinking for a moment, Hatake Sakumo suddenly increased his speed and rushed towards the border of the Fire Country.

The battlefield on the front line is currently in a tense situation. As Konoha's top combat force, Hatake Sakumo naturally cannot spend all his time training graduates.

Not long after returning to Konoha, he received a secret mission from the Hokage.

……

The next day, the same thing happened again.

Uchiha Yi and the other two sat on the ground panting, with bruises on their faces and arms.

"Yi-kun, Chuan-kun, this is our Hyuga family's healing medicine. Rub a little on the wound and it will heal quickly."

Hinata Shiori took out two small packets of medicine and handed them to Uchiha Yi and Inuzuka River.

"Thank you, Shiori-san."

"As expected of Shiori, she even prepared the potion!"

Uchiha Yi and Inuzukagawa took the medicine and applied it on the wound. Immediately, a cool sensation came from the wound, and the lump gradually dissipated at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

After the training, the three of them went to Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant together to have lunch.

In the afternoon, the three of them will have free training.

Inuzukagawa and the ninja dog Kenta are practicing a new ninjutsu together. He gathers his chakra in his limbs, making himself look like a wild beast, while Kenta changes into the appearance of Inuzukagawa. The cooperation between man and dog becomes more and more skillful.

Hinata Shiori sat quietly on a stone chair, looking at a large scroll containing information about medical ninjutsu.

In addition, she was practicing soft boxing. For the Hyuga family, soft boxing was the most suitable physical technique for them. Hinata Shiori had already opened her Byakugan, so practicing was naturally twice the result with half the effort.

In the corner of the training ground, Uchiha Yi was still practicing swordsmanship.

Time passes slowly and days go by.

This type of training lasted for a whole month. Under the training of Hatake Sakumo's shadow clone, the combat strength of the three members of the team improved rapidly.

After all, in terms of battlefield combat experience, Hatake Sakumo is unique in Konoha. As the Konoha White Fang who has experienced two Ninja World Wars and carried out countless dangerous missions, getting his guidance is definitely what countless ninjas dream of.

The self-discipline and hard work of the three team members also made Hatake Sakumo very satisfied. Even though he was not there most of the time, the three of them did not slack off at all, and even did extra training at night.

That afternoon, when the three men finished their training and were about to disband, Hatake Sakumo's figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Shumo-sensei?"

Uchiha Yi and the other two looked at Hatake Sakumo in surprise.

Glancing at the three disciples, Hatake Sakumo nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand to signal the three to assemble, as he had something to announce.

"Go back and have a good rest at night and keep in the best condition."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes gradually became serious, and his cold voice was very penetrating, "Tomorrow our team will go out on a mission for the first time, you guys should get ready."

Just after finishing the instructions, before Uchiha Yi and the other two could react, Hatake Sakumo's figure quickly disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving only the three members of the team with stunned faces.

After a moment of silence in the training ground, Inuzukagawa's shout was immediately heard.

"Finally! We're finally going on a real mission!"

"Wang! Wang!"

Inuzukagawa excitedly hugged the ninja dog Kenta, his face full of excitement and impatience.

Hinata Shiori clenched her fists, and there was a hint of excitement and anticipation on her rosy little face.

In comparison, Uchiha Yi seemed much calmer, with his brows even slightly wrinkled. He stared in the direction where Hatake Sakumo disappeared, with an unclear emotion in his heart.

It seems that the day to go to the battlefield is not far away...

The three of them briefly discussed the weapons and equipment that needed to be prepared in advance, as well as necessary medicines and other auxiliary items.

Then the three of them stood up and said goodbye. Uchiha Yi and Hinata Shiori were going home in the same direction, so they walked together, while Inuzukagawa's home was in the opposite direction.

After returning home, Uchiha Yi took a cold shower and then soaked in a comfortable hot spring. The fatigue after a whole day of training seemed to be washed away.

After more than a month of high-intensity training, he clearly felt the rapid improvement in his strength. After all, he could practice with Konoha's strongest swordsmanship master every day, which was unimaginable before.

After soaking in the hot spring, Uchiha Yi, wrapped in a bath towel, prepared the equipment he would take on the mission tomorrow.

In addition to a chakra dagger and a standard long sword, he also has his own special kunai and shuriken.

After completing the preparations, Uchiha Yi lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, the four members of Sakumo's team had gathered at the gate of Konoha Village.

"The mission we are going to carry out today is a B-rank mission. It is very likely that we will start a war with hostile ninjas. I hope you will be prepared in advance!"

Hatake Sakumo's expression became slightly solemn, and the other three members of the team also gradually became serious.

"Let me repeat the details of the mission again!"

Hatake Sakumo's face was extremely serious as he slowly introduced the details of the mission.

"According to the intelligence obtained by the Anbu, at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron, there are reconnaissance ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village disguised as a caravan and secretly lurking into the Land of Fire. Our mission is to follow the caravan and investigate the situation. If the intelligence is true, we will eliminate this team of ninjas on the spot."

"Alright, according to intelligence, that caravan has already entered the Fire Country. We can't let them go any further. Let's set off now. If there are other questions, we can discuss them on the way!"

After saying this, Hatake Sakumo's figure had disappeared from the spot.

"Yes, Sakumo-sensei!"

Uchiha Yi and the other two were also fast and immediately chased after Hatake Sakumo's back.

On the way to the mission location, Uchiha Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful look.

Missions below level C are not dangerous, but starting from level B, they are advanced missions with higher risks and a high probability of combat.

Normally, B-rank missions are carried out by Chunin-level teams.

This team of ninja school graduates started out by directly carrying out a B-rank mission. This is extremely rare.

Of course, with Hatake Sakumo around, their lives would naturally not be in any danger. The mechanism of a Jonin leading three graduated Genin was designed to allow the Genin to accumulate experience and grow quickly.

Obviously, this mission is more like a test before going to the battlefield.
