Early the next morning, Tsunade held a brief meeting.
Then she announced the Surprise Raid Mission on the supply route of the Land of Earth, to be led by the two young ones.
Some people raised objections, believing that although the two young ones had decent strength, they were still not qualified for such an important and dangerous mission.
Only with Kawaki's insistence and the strong support of the Uchiha clan leader was the mission finally confirmed.
For this reason, Fugaku also joined the team of the two young ones.
"Be careful on the way. Safety comes first."
Kawaki wasn't so rigid. The mission was never his top priority. Even if it failed, it wouldn't be the end of the world for him.
Nothing was more important than life.
"Got it, Teacher (Brother-in-law)."
The two young ones obediently nodded in response.
"Follow the orders carefully."
The Uchiha clan leader also gave Fugaku some instructions on the side.
He clearly knew the status of Minato and Nawaki in Kawaki's heart.
"I understand, Uncle."
Fugaku had no sense of aversion at all, mainly because he also recognized the strength of the two young ones.
"That's good. Come back safely after completing the mission."
The Uchiha clan leader stroked Fugaku's head. His nephew had become much more mature now.
"Set off! The sooner you go, the sooner you'll return."
Seeing Fugaku rejoin the troop, Tsunade issued the order to depart.
"Wait for our good news."
After Nawaki said this, he turned around and left.
This team consisted of elites from various clans. They were top-notch in both combat power and intelligence.
"Let's go back."
Watching the team fade into the distance and disappear, Kawaki patted Tsunade on the shoulder.
"I'm still a bit worried."
Tsunade turned around, with deep worry on her face.
"Don't worry. They aren't kids anymore."
Anyway, Kawaki had never seen kids who could cut down enemies one by one with the Flying Thunder God[b]Flying Thunder God[/b] or kill a large number of enemies with a single mouthful of Water Release[b]Water Release[/b].
"They've already left. I'm just worrying for nothing."
Tsunade said with a bitter smile and then followed Kawaki back to the camp.
Even if the Surprise Raid Mission was completed, she still had a lot of things to deal with, not to mention that the team had just set off.
Romantic feelings could only last for such a short moment.
...
The Konoha Ninjas were still constantly clashing with the raiding forces of Iwagakure and Sunagakure in the Land of Rain.
The situation didn't improve because of the departure of the two young ones.
Kawaki and Tsunade began to count the days, looking forward to good news.
In just a few days, they had fought with Ōnoki and Bunpuku several times. Their reluctance to engage in a head - on fight really gave Kawaki a headache.
However, these things couldn't distract the two young ones. They only had the mission in mind now.
After setting off from the camp and heading north all the way, they had now entered the territory of the Land of Grass.
It was an endless prairie, and they had chosen a winding path.
There was no one around along the way, only the footsteps of the troop moving forward.
At this moment, the two young ones were filled with mixed feelings.
The last time they came here was when Kawaki took them back after capturing the Seven - Tailed Beast. This was only the second time they had been here.
Back then, they were just kids tagging along with the elders to gain experience. Now they were leading a team to carry out a mission.
Time passed like an arrow. The two young ones had different emotions.
"Time really flies by so fast."
Nawaki sighed with emotion, vaguely remembering the first time he met Kawaki.
He thought to himself, 'Who is this arrogant guy, opening his mouth to give me instructions?'
"Yeah, we're starting to take on responsibilities on our own."
Minato looked ahead and kept walking. Everyone was still trying their best to hurry.
After seeing the Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b] of the Seven-Tailed Beast[b]Seven-Tailed Beast[/b], he found a breakthrough point in the development of a new Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b].
Now it was almost developed.
Nawaki could leap far with just a light tap of his toes. On the way, he didn't forget to practice the Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu[b]Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu[/b].
"This mission, we can only win, not lose."
Nawaki firmly said this. Minato turned his head and the two looked at each other.
They nodded to each other. This time, the two of them had to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet.
It was a farewell to their past selves and the beginning of a new journey.
"Have you thought about what to do after entering the [Land of Earth]?"
Fugaku had now gotten familiar with the two young ones. He put away the arrogance inherent in the Uchiha clan.
The relationship between the two young ones was what he yearned for.
His uncle had placed too many expectations on him. He had always lived under great pressure, and at this moment, he even felt a sense of relief.
"Of course." (Twice)
The two young ones said in unison. How could they have the nerve to come out on a mission if they hadn't arranged such a small thing?
"That's good."
A smile appeared on Fugaku's serious face, and he didn't intend to ask further.
Nawaki never thought he had much hatred for the Uchiha clan and had a good attitude towards Fugaku.
As the saying goes, respect is a two-way street.
Now the Uchiha clan was on the same boat as Tsunade, all their own people.
Their top priority after entering the [Land of Earth] was to figure out the supply route of Iwagakure in a short time.
For this reason, the two young ones had set three plans. Without any source of Intelligence, they could only rely on themselves.
"Fugaku, we'll definitely need your help then."
Minato didn't call everyone "big brother". At least, his relationship with Fugaku wasn't that close yet.
In the [original plot], Kushina was actually good friends with Fugaku's wife, so their relationship should also be good.
They got along quite harmoniously at this time.
"Of course. I'll follow orders."
Fugaku remembered his uncle's instructions clearly, and from his observations in the past few days.
Although Minato was younger than him, he was quite smart. As for Nawaki, he could only scoff.
"It's all for the mission. There's no need to say that."
Nawaki didn't realize his intelligence had been looked down upon and was grinning like a goofy husky.
"I hope everything goes smoothly for us."
Fugaku didn't come out alone. He also brought many clan members.
He also needed to be responsible for them.
The radar user from the Hyuga clan glanced at them a few times without saying a word, as they still had their own tasks to complete.
Although this route was hidden, they still kept vigilant. The Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b] was sometimes activated to observe.
Tsunade had indeed arranged excellent [Ninja] for the two young ones, which also showed her emphasis on this mission.
Under the leadership of the two young ones, the entire troop kept hurrying except during rest time.
Finally, after a few days, they arrived at the border of the [Land of Earth].
Minato didn't rush in rashly. During the war, Iwagakure might be on alert.
He made a gesture to stop hiding, and the team halted.
"How's the situation ahead?"
This is when the radar user comes in handy.
"There are civilians, but they're just ordinary folks."
The radar user checked several times before giving a definite reply.
"Avoid them and sneak in."
Nawaki kept silent. Minato was the commander throughout.
Everyone scattered and slipped out of the ordinary people's sight, quietly entering the territory of the Land of Earth.
When everyone gathered on a mountain in the Land of Earth, the surprise attack operation officially started.
"Now can you tell us the plan?"
Fugaku calmly asked about the next plan.
"It's okay that there are civilians. You come with us to the town to gather some information."
"The rest of you stay here for rest and recuperation and wait for our news."
This was the first plan of the two young ones.
Fugaku nodded, and then the three of them left.
They used the Transformation Jutsu[b]Transformation Jutsu[/b] to change their appearances before entering the border town of the Land of Earth.
