Chapter 341 – 341 Encounter
On a sunny day, Uchiha Mikaze's team took a mission to go out of the village, and this is the opportunity Kakashi has been waiting for.
"Sandan-sensei, where are we going this time?" Mikaze asked curiously.
"Mikaze, our mission this time is to go to the Land of Bear to take a confidential document. It is an A-rank mission, so we need to be careful." Sandan said.
Hearing this, Mikaze became a little excited and said: "A-rank mission? It is a long time since I have done one!"
"Mikaze, don't be so excited, the A-rank mission is very dangerous." Aomaru said.
"What's so dangerous about it? Our team has a Jōnin, and three Chunin, so it would be easy for us to complete the A-rank mission." Mikaze said with some disapproval.
For an A-rank mission, their team configuration is indeed good enough, so it may not be difficult for their team to complete the mission.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Mikaze has such confidence.
"It's always right to be careful." Aomaru said.
"You brat is always like this. For my Uchiha Clan, the A-rank mission is just a small mission!" Mikaze said proudly.
As a member of the Uchiha Clan, Mikaze has his own pride.
In other words, every Uchiha Clan's clansmen have their own pride.
It's just that some are arrogant even if they don't have the strength to back up their pride.
"Hmph, Are you not ashamed to say that you belong to the Uchiha Clan? You even haven't awakened the Sharingan until now." Aomaru said disdainfully.
Mikaze blushed when he heard this, and then he said angrily: "What do you say! I will awaken the Sharingan sooner or later! As soon as I awaken it, my eyes will become the most reliable helper for the team! At that time, defeating a Jōnin is not an impossible thing!"
"Hmph, you always say that, but you haven't awakened it even after all this time!" Aomaru said contemptuously.
"You!"
"Okay, okay, you two should stop now. We're on a mission right now, so stop arguing like that."
The only Kunoichi on the side couldn't stand their arguments anymore, so she stops them.
"Hmph, I will let you go as Chitose told us to stop," Mikaze said arrogantly.
"That is what I should say!" Aomaru said angrily.
"Hmph!"
The two coldly snorted at each other before they stopped talking.
Both Chitose and Sandan couldn't laugh when they saw this. They already saw this scene a lot of time as both of these two guys have been in the same team for more than four years, and they are always arguing.
However, it's not that the relationship between these two is not good, it's just that the way they get along is different from others.
"Okay, focus, we need to be careful in the road." Sandan said.
At this time, the First Shinobi World War had just ended, so it was inevitable that there would be some bandits and missing-nin along the way.
The four of them shuttled through the forests, and just not far from the four, a figure silently followed after them.
"Have you finally come?" Kakashi muttered to himself, with an expression that is hard to understand on his face.
Kakashi is following behind the four, but he didn't have the slightest plan to make a move.
He… is still thinking about something.
Sandan feels a bit uneasy today, and he feels that something big is going to happen.
But he didn't have any clue. It's just his Jōnin's intuition as there seemed to be a lot of twists and turns on this road.
Therefore, on this road, Sandan adjust his alertness to the highest level to prevent sneak attacks on the road.
The three Chunin didn't feel anything like what Sandan feels. They just felt that this mission is really suitable for them.
During the First Shinobi World War, they were also had been on the battlefield, and the tension back then was incomparable to what they are doing right now.
After the war, there was no passion for the missions they accepted.
The three have long been bored.
And this A-rank mission has reignited their enthusiasm.
'This time, I must show off my talent!' Mikaze secretly thought in his heart.
With no troubles on the way, the team successfully arrived in the Land of Bear, obtained the confidential documents, and then returned on the way back to Konoha.
"Isn't this mission too simple? Nothing happened along the way." Mikaze complained.
"Idiot, for this kind of mission, the return journey is the most dangerous time." Aomaru said.
"Who are you calling idiot!" Mikaze said angrily.
"Okay, stop arguing you two. Aomaru is right, this is the most dangerous time of this mission," said Sandan.
"Why is that so, Sandan-sensei?" Mikaze asked in confusion.
Sandan then answered: "I am afraid that there are many people who want to get this confidential document. Now when we are bringing it back, many people will try to stop us. Now is the beginning of the danger. We can't take it lightly. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Konoha."
Sandan's words hit the three Chunin's hearts like heavy hammers, and the three Chunin turned serious. At this moment, they finally understand the real danger of this mission.
Mikaze's nerves tightened for a moment and then he shouted: "Sandan-sensei, don't worry, whoever dares to come, I will let them know how powerful Uchiha Mikaze is!"
As soon as Mikaze said this, Aomaru and Chitose's emotions were relieved in an instant.
A smile appeared on Sandan's face. 'This Mikaze always has the ability which can make people's tension instantly disappear.'
"Oh? That's very interesting. Let me see how strong the member of the Uchiha Clan is."
A cold voice quietly echoed in the ears of everyone, and in the next moment, Mikaze feels that there is a kunai on his throat, and he can be killed in an instant.
As the kunai is about to be cut his throat, the hand holding the kunai is firmly grasped by Sandan.
"You finally reveal yourself." Sandan said coldly.
"Oh? I didn't expect to be discovered. It's really a shame."
The figure gave up Mikaze, lifted his right hand, and sent a Kunai towards Sandan's throat.
"Hmph, you must be delusional if you thought that this kind of attack would succeed!"
Sandan quickly pulled out a kunai with his left hand and blocks the enemy's kunai with it.
Ding!
With a soft sound, the Kunai was blocked.
"Oh? Two times." said the figure, and then he turns into a phantom and disappearing from that place.
Sandan quickly shouted: "Third Formation!"
The three Chunin stood back-to-back after hearing Sandan's words, while Sandan stood in front of the three.
"Mikaze, are you okay?" asked Aomaru.
Mikaze shook his head and said: "I'm, be careful, the enemy this time is very strong."
Aomaru nodded. He knows Mikaze's strength very well. For the figure to silently put his kunai on Mikaze's neck, Aomaru knew that the enemy's strength is at least at Jōnin-level.
Had it not been for Sandan to act quickly, Mikaze would have already dead by this time.
The figure slowly appeared not far away, and his forehead protector has revealed his identity.
Sandan frowned and said: "Iwagakure's Shinobi?"
