Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's confident demeanor, Kakashi Hatake and the others finally reacted.
That's right!
The person leading them to accept the mission was Uchiha Yuzuru, who single-handedly crushed the Shinobi Alliance and shook the Ninja World!
With him leading the team, even completing an S-rank mission would be no problem, right?
After realizing this, Uchiha Obito, Kakashi Hatake, and Uchiha Shisui all nodded vigorously: "Big Brother Yuzuru, we'll take this mission!"
"Alright, let's go." Uchiha Yuzuru chuckled and led the three youngsters to the mission reception window.
Before long, he had accepted the mission to "Support Loulan."
After leaving the mission hall, Uchiha Yuzuru looked up at the sky and said, "You all go back and prepare. We'll depart tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"

The next day.
By the time Uchiha Yuzuru appeared, Uchiha Obito and the other two had already been waiting for nearly three hours.
They were too excited yesterday and forgot to ask Uchiha Yuzuru for the exact meeting time, so they rushed over early before dawn.
But unexpectedly, they ended up waiting for three hours.
Uchiha Obito complained discontentedly, "Big Brother Yuzuru, why are you so late?"
To avoid being late this time, he had rushed over without even eating breakfast.
Uchiha Yuzuru looked at Uchiha Obito in surprise: "I thought you would be late, so I wasn't in a hurry."
Hearing this, Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Shisui were speechless.
Given their understanding of Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Yuzuru's thought process was completely reasonable.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and get going."
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru leave, Uchiha Obito and the other two immediately followed.
----

"Let's rest for a bit."
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Uchiha Yuzuru took the initiative to stop.
Uchiha Obito immediately began scouting the surroundings, Kakashi Hatake was responsible for collecting wood, and Uchiha Shisui took the opportunity to set traps.
Although Ninja travel quickly, the distance between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Wind was truly too great.
It took them half a month to reach the border of the Land of Wind.
"Seriously, it hasn't been easy traveling all this way."
After a round of inspection, Uchiha Obito complained as he sat down next to Uchiha Yuzuru.
Ever since they left the Land of Lightning, the journey had become more difficult.
Most places didn't even have a decent road, which was a huge difference compared to the Land of Lightning.
Uchiha Shisui nodded in agreement, "Big Brother Yuzuru, the people outside live such miserable lives. How about we help them with construction?"
Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Even if we want to help them, they might not be willing."
"That's simple." A naive smile appeared on Uchiha Shisui's face, "As long as we conquer them, we can help them improve their lives."
Hearing Uchiha Shisui's reply, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
If you don't accept my goodwill, then I'll beat you until you accept my goodwill... Okay, that's very Uchiha.
Just then, Kakashi Hatake piled up the collected wood: "Senior Yuzuru, should I light a fire?"
"Light it."
With Uchiha Yuzuru's permission, Kakashi Hatake lit the fire.
Uchiha Yuzuru then took out four thick lamb legs from the Kamui Dimension and said to Uchiha Obito and the others, "One for each of you."
Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui silently put down his mission log and said with some helplessness, "Clan Head Ketsuna, is it really okay for us to make a fire so openly?"
"I feel like eating soldier pills would be better."
When Ninja are on missions, concealing their tracks is very important.
Making a fire in the dark is absolutely taboo!
Uchiha Yuzuru also nodded: "It's indeed not very good. Don't learn from this when you're on missions in the future."
"Of course, if you have the confidence to overcome everything, then you can be like me."
After Uchiha Yuzuru finished speaking, he took out some seasonings and sprinkled them on the roasted lamb legs.
Instantly, an enticing aroma filled the air.
It's not that soldier pills couldn't be afforded, but roasted lamb legs were more cost-effective.
A moment later.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru, Uchiha Obito, and Kakashi Hatake all eating with greasy mouths, Uchiha Shisui swallowed his saliva.
Never mind, eat!
So delicious!

Uchiha Yuzuru leading the team was all about doing whatever he pleased, acting on a whim.
This gave Uchiha Obito and the others the illusion that they weren't on an A-rank mission, but rather on a vacation... Another week passed like this, and Uchiha Yuzuru and his three companions finally found the Loulan Kingdom in the desert.
Looking at the towering spires of Loulan, reaching straight into the clouds, Uchiha Obito and the others gaped in astonishment.
What peculiar architecture, is this Loulan?
Even from a distance, they could feel a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.
"You all stick close later. We'll go in first to gather some information."
"Yes!"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's serious expression, Kakashi Hatake and the others also unconsciously became more serious.
This was an A-rank mission; they absolutely couldn't be careless in the slightest.
Under Uchiha Yuzuru's leadership, the group easily infiltrated the Loulan Kingdom.
Towering spires stood tall, and countless pipes connected each tower, extending in all directions like blood vessels within a living organism.
There were hardly any people on the streets; the entire Loulan looked like a ghost town.
Uchiha Obito was a bit bewildered: "Why is it so quiet here? It's so strange..."
Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Shisui gripped their short blades, fully focused on guarding against any possible mishaps.
After walking for some time towards the center of Loulan, Uchiha Yuzuru heard a melancholic song.
He frowned and looked in the direction of the sound; it was coming from a nearby abandoned tower.
"Let's go take a look."
Uchiha Obito was the first to rush forward, with Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi Hatake close behind.
When they rushed into the abandoned tower, they found a long-haired woman sitting on the ruins, singing.
Noticing their entry, the woman suddenly turned her head.
After a glance, she immediately turned and entered a passage, running out.
"Wait!"
Uchiha Obito wanted to chase after her, but two Puppets appeared in the passage and rushed towards him.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Obito formed hand seals, and a massive Great Fireball instantly engulfed the Puppets, scattering their parts across the ground.
"Hmph! Pathetic."
Uchiha Obito snorted proudly, but Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Shisui, not far away, changed their expressions.
"Obito, be careful!"
Uchiha Obito looked back and saw that the Puppet parts scattered on the ground had reassembled, wielding sharp blades and attacking him.
Uchiha Obito was so scared that he stumbled backward a few steps, accidentally tripping and falling to the ground.
Just as he thought he was done for, the two Puppets seemed to lose their power and fell directly outside the passage.
"That was close..."
Uchiha Obito couldn't help but pat his chest.
He almost died just now...
