"Women who live secluded lives are so easy to deceive, lacking any real experience."
Yoichi looked over the promise note left by Mikoto-san, thinking to himself that the dewy complexion she had after her bath nearly made him, a 'ninja' who had practiced asceticism for nearly three years, lose his restraint.
He thought about the past grievances inflicted upon him by Clan Head Fugaku and decided he would reclaim them through the clan head's wife!
He planned to keep this document safely, as now was not the right time.
Currently, Mikoto was merely frightened, and it was very likely she might regain her composure later.
The reason Yoichi continued to engage Mikoto with the Uchiha Welfare System was to keep her close by, reinforcing his commands and her sense of guilt.
He did indeed need someone to run errands for him, as Elder Kenji had introduced many clan members who were skilled in business and interpersonal interactions, but Yoichi had sent them all away.
After the last clan meeting, two more people were introduced and were also sent by Yoichi to take over the management of the clan's military arms business.
Now, Yoichi had no one to run errands by his side.
He needed a mediator!
As for having Mikoto play this role, would Fugaku be willing? If Mikoto showed the slightest unwillingness, it's estimated that Fugaku would humbly request Mikoto to assist Yoichi.
It would also help him gather some intelligence.
Given Mikoto's character, if Fugaku were to ask, she would surely tell him everything she knew; but that would be the extent of it, as knowing more would leave them with no recourse.
Besides knowing how much money Yoichi could make and how much he spent each month to bribe clan members, Fugaku had no other means.
Mikoto, despite having firsthand data and news, couldn't draw a single penny; the top and bottom were all controlled by Elder Kenji and his appointees.
The more they knew, the more despair Fugaku might feel, as apart from the title of clan head and the support of the peace faction, he couldn't do anything else, even the families of those peace faction ninjas were taking money from Yoichi.
If they were to speak ill of Yoichi upon returning home, it would first cause discord within the family.
Family and beliefs, these people always have to choose one!
After contemplating in his heart, Yoichi became even more determined to have Mikoto, the clan head's wife, act as his errand assistant.
If it weren't for the clan head mentioning it in the clan meeting, he wouldn't have thought of this.
--------------------------------
Boom! Explosions suddenly erupted in the night, followed by soaring flames.
"It's the Konoha ninja, that ninjutsu, he's Konoha's Yellow Flash!"
The Sand ninja's rapid march identified the enemy through the Rasengan-like ninjutsu and blonde appearance, immediately recognizing who the enemy was.
Although Minato was renowned in the ninja world, he had not yet reached the point where the Rock ninja village ordered, 'Upon seeing the Yellow Flash, abandon the mission and retreat immediately.'
Minato was only just beginning to make a name for himself in the ninja world.
Moreover, this was the Sand ninja's rapid march; with five hundred Sand ninja and many powerful fighters among them, they would dare to confront even Konoha's White Fang.
"Kill him, don't let him bring the message back!"
Upon the command, instantly, more than a dozen Sand ninja followed, daring to confront after hearing the name of the Yellow Flash, confident in their own strength.
A sensory ninja immediately used ninjutsu and then loudly stated, "I've locked onto him, he can't escape!"
"Chase!"
Seeing Minato escaping with the Body Flicker Technique, the Sand ninja also pursued with the Body Flicker Technique.
Their team's intelligence absolutely could not be leaked, so they must capture the Yellow Flash today.
After a continuous chase for some distance, Minato sensed the number of people pursuing him from behind and then stopped, pulling out eight Flying Thunder God Kunai.
He calmly stated, "Let's settle this first."
Throwing the kunai, the approaching Sand ninja, upon seeing the kunai, first reacted with caution, but seeing the way Minato threw them awkwardly, they couldn't help but feel a bit scornful.
One of the kunai even landed on the ground at their feet, prompting a Sand puppeteer to mockingly say,
"The Yellow Flash is nothing but this"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Minato instantly appear in front of him, his expression cold as he swiftly slashed his neck with a kunai.
"Sorry, this is war."
Before the words fell, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the next kunai, the blue chakra rapidly condensing into a Rasengan in his hand, directly destroying the opponent's weapon, then pressed it fiercely against the abdomen.
Another kill!
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato appeared behind the third person, the kunai stabbing into the heart of the Sand ninja in front of him, teleporting away before the blood could spray.
The fourth teleport, the kunai pierced through the eye into the brain.
The fifth teleport, the Rasengan struck the heart position.
In the dark night, Minato was like the reaper of lives, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to shuttle in front of the enemies time and again, his casually thrown kunai and Rasengan completely took the lives of the Sand ninja before they could react!
In just three seconds, six elite Sand ninja were killed by Minato's hands.
The Sand ninja could only see his yellow hair, and then those facing him were already dead.
"The seventh"
This time there was a mistake, Minato's expression sharpened.
He didn't make a mistake; it was the Sand ninja who was suddenly dragged behind by golden sand appearing under his feet, causing his kunai to only leave a wound on the opponent's shoulder.
"Yellow Flash!"
Rasa arrived, seeing the loss of so many villagers in such a short time, filled with rage.
And he also keenly noticed that Minato's nearly invisible Body Flicker Technique was done through teleporting to kunai, and he happened to possess Magnet Release!
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Funeral!"
Rasa clapped his hands together, intense chakra bursting from him, and suddenly golden sand erupted from the ground within a hundred meters, covering all of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai.
"Is this the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release?"
Minato, seeing the situation unfold before him, was shocked; his Flying Thunder God Technique, if it had one fear, it might be Magnet Release that manipulates metal.
The Flying Thunder God Kunai he had thrown were now gathered together by the golden sand, losing their purpose for teleportation.
With a swift action, Minato threw three Flying Thunder God Kunai towards Rasa, but Rasa, seeing this, waved his hand, directly using Magnet Release to freeze the Flying Thunder God Kunai in mid-air.
"As expected."
Minato inwardly exclaimed, although he could plant Flying Thunder God seals anywhere, he needed to approach the opponent with the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and now this place had become the opponent's territory.
"Hand of Gold Dust!"
The sea of gold dust on the ground suddenly stretched out huge sand palms, Minato jumped away three times, but the last time he was still caught by a giant gold dust hand.
However, fortunately, he immediately used the Rasengan, breaking the gold dust giant hand.
"Magnet Release, Gold Dust, you must be the Third Kazekage's disciple, Rasa!"
Minato looked at Rasa with a serious expression, this person putting considerable pressure on him, the cohesion of the gold dust was strong, and the Rasengan had difficulty breaking it; moreover, his Flying Thunder God Kunai were seen through, he had no way to approach and plant a seal before close combat.
"You appearing here, it seems you Sand ninja have great ambitions? Do you wish to start a war!"
"Go to the underworld and ask!"
"Gold Dust Burial!"
Rasa, looking at Minato as if he were already a dead man, clapped his hands together, summoning a nearly hundred-meter-tall wave of gold dust from the ground, like a real tsunami, rushing towards Minato.
And Rasa also erected sand walls around, he could control the Flying Thunder God Kunai at the first instance, today he must kill Konoha's Yellow Flash.
"Indeed formidable."
Minato's expression was serious, if he didn't escape, he would only be able to summon Gamabunta to fight; but there was no need for that, Rasa's strength and intelligence were already somewhat tested, there was no need for a desperate fight.
With a swift movement, Minato suddenly disappeared, causing Rasa to frown.
He had gathered all those teleporting kunai together, and he hadn't seen any left behind just now.
"Tomosu, where is he?"
"Kazekage-sama, I can no longer sense him, the Yellow Flash instantly broke free from my sensory lock just now."
Tomosu, the sensory ninja, quickly explained, theoretically, a sensory lock within two kilometers should be able to catch up with the enemy, but just now he suddenly lost sensory of Minato.
This meant only one possibility, the opponent had teleported away using that ninjutsu, exceeding two kilometers.
Rasa grimly stated, "He left a kunai for escape beforehand, huh!"
"Bring back the bodies of our comrades, continue marching."
The large force being discovered by the opponent, this matter will likely soon reach Konoha, he could not delay any longer.
After returning to the troop, Rasa immediately called for a messenger ninja, instructing them to send a message to the village: "Move Shukaku to the front line!"
Originally, according to the plan, Shukaku was supposed to appear on the battlefield in the form of the One-Tail only in the middle or later stages of the war, but now an accident occurred, and their march was known to a Konoha ninja.
Abandoning the war was absolutely impossible, Rasa needed this victory to establish his position as the Fourth Kazekage, he intended to use a surprise attack of absolute strength to gain an advantageous position in the war against Konoha.
Elsewhere!
Minato's figure appeared in a place littered with rocks, teleporting such a long distance directly caused him to use up thirty to forty percent of his chakra, his complexion was somewhat pale.
Quickly taking out soldier pills and consuming them, Minato then quietly waited for his chakra to recover.
While recovering his chakra, Minato also took out a map to see: "Shibi-san and the others should have reached here by now, so I can meet up with them here, then we must hurry back to the village."
Then Minato closed his eyes to recall, the direction of the Sand ninja's large force was clearly towards the Land of Rivers, and recently, the Sand Village had been collecting military supplies.
"They want to start a war!"
After confirming this, Minato didn't wait for his chakra to fully recover, he started moving ahead to meet up with Shibi-san, aiming to report this information to the village as soon as possible.
----------------------------------------------
"Not bad, the three of you have completed a total of twenty D-rank missions, and your control over chakra is about right now, it's time for the next trial."
Yoichi said to the three students in front of him, mastering chakra control is essential for further progress, their chakra control is quite good among Chunin, considered in the passable category.
"Yoichi-sensei, what kind of trial are you planning for us?"
Kurenai asked cheerfully, their time together had also let the three of them understand Yoichi's personality.
Follow the teacher's commands during missions and training, besides that, Yoichi-sensei's temper is quite good, only a few years older than them, and he would generously treat them to meals, not minding the expense at all.
"Killing!"
Yoichi said flatly: "Next, I'll select C-rank missions specifically for assassination, you must quickly adapt to killing the enemy in the shortest time possible. If anyone hesitates, giving the enemy a chance to kill you... Of course, I will save your lives, but whether you end up disabled, I cannot guarantee!"
"Understood, Yoichi-sensei."
The three responded seriously, becoming a ninja means facing this; without the resolve to kill, one can only harm oneself.
Although Kurenai and the others said this, whether they could actually do it would be seen at the time.
Kurenai suddenly raised her hand and asked: "Yoichi-sensei, since we're going to undertake C-rank missions, could you teach us some ninjutsu?"
"Ninjutsu."
Yoichi glanced at the three students, it seemed they had discussed this in advance, all looking at him with hopeful eyes.
"Let me give you some guidance today, but rather than teaching you ninjutsu that doesn't suit you, strengthening your strengths is what's most needed now."
Yoichi-san created two shadow clones, and after separating the three students, he began to give individual guidance.
He taught Kurenai illusion techniques, to release illusions in a more covert manner for unexpected effects.
He taught Rumi to increase chakra flow, making her faster in close combat and her punches stronger.
He taught Kazuhito how to handle ninja tools, giving the thrown weapons a second chance to kill, making the enemy more wary.
These were not difficult, so Yoichi gave them only one day to master the techniques, planning to leave the village for missions the day after tomorrow.
After dispelling the shadow clones, the memories and chakra returned to the original body.
Returning and feeling tired, especially since he had Gates accompany him in training in the courtyard all morning.
"Roar~"
"I haven't complained about being tired, and you're already whining. Look at all that fat on you!"
Yoichi slapped Gates behind, if not for the fur, his slaps would have raised waves of fat.
However, having Gates accompany him in practicing with gravity techniques had a better effect than wearing weights; now, under Lightning Release Chakra Mode, swords and blades couldn't harm Yoichi.
Neither Water Release nor Earth Release jutsu could affect him.
Ding-dong!
Just as Yoichi was about to continue training with Gates, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Yoichi, hearing the doorbell, walked towards the front door: "Who could be visiting at this time?"
