  When Shin and his team returo the Senju pound, Tsunade was already there. Seeing them, she asked, "Doh the exam?"

  "Yes, I'm a in now!" Kushina announced proudly.

  "It's just in. What's there to be proud of?" Tsunade said, gng at Kushina.

  "The Sandaime Hokage tried to recruit us into the Anbu," Shin said, looking at Tsunade.

  "And you agreed?"

  "No way. Joining the Anbu is b. I crave freedom, not a life hiding in the shadows like a rat."

  Tsunade eechless. He pared the Anbu to rats? If the Anbu heard that, they'd probably e after him.

  "I'm heading to the border tomorrow. Be careful when you go on missions, especially you two. Listen to Shin."

  Tsunade looked at Kushina and Mikoto.

  She was mainly talking to Kushina. Mikoto was obedient and cautious; she wouldn't cause trouble. Kushina, oher hand...

  "Got it, Tsunade. You be careful too," Kushina said.

  Tsunade was surprised. She had expected Kushina tue, but she actually sounded ed.

  "If the war breaks out, be careful otlefield. We don't want to hear any bad news," Shin added.

  Tsunade was fine in the inal story, but things might be different now.

  "Don't worry, no one defeat me."

  "Just don't be reckless and charge at Kage-level oppos. If you're in danger, sell out your teammates. Let Orochimaru and Jiraiya take the hit. Especially Orochimaru; he's hard to kill."

  Shin offered his advice.

  Tsunade's eye twitched. What kind of advice was that?

  "Rex, the war won't start that easily. It might just be a show of force," Tsunade said dismissively.

  Shin shook his head. He khis war would definitely happen, and it wouldn't end quickly.

  The m, Tsunade left for the Land of Fire's border. Hiruzen had mobilized a force of three thousand Shinobi.

  Including Genin, Konoha had a little over ten thousand Shinobi. Three thousand was a signifit force.

  "Let's go on a mission and have some fun outside the vilge!"

  Shin said to Kushina and Mikoto.

  The mission was sedary; expl the world was the real goal.

  At the mission assig desk, they ran into Nawaki and his team.

  "Shin, you're here! I thought you weren't ing," Nawaki said.

  "Nawaki, we probably won't be able to do missions with you anymore."

  Nawaki was fused. "Why not?"

  "We passed the in Exams. We're in noon't be doing D-rank missions anymore. You should try it too, Nawaki."

  Kushina answered.

  "We graduated together! Why did you bee in without telling me?" Nawaki whined.

  "Don't worry, Nawaki. Genihe stro in Konoha. They destroy the world."

  Shin patted Nawaki's shoulder and took the mission list, sing it.

  [S-Rank Mission: Capture S-Rank Missing-Nin Uchiha Ryota]

  Shin froze. Uchiha Ryota? If he remembered correctly, that was the guy he had a minor flict with at the ramen shop.

  He had also copied Ryota's Sharingan prowess four times.

  But how did he bee a missing-nin? And an S-rank o that?

  S-rank missing-nin varied in strength, but they were generally Kage-level or quasi-Kage level.

  "Sorry, wrong list."

  The clerk took the list back.

  "These are S-rank and A-rank missions. in 't take those. Here's the correct list."

  He handed Shin another list.

  "What are the requirements for taking S-rank missions?" Shin asked.

  "You need a team of at least three elite Jōnin," the clerk replied.

  "Fine. I'll take this mission to hunt down a Konoha missing-nin."

  Shin chose a mission to hunt down ae in-level missing-nin. It was a B-rank mission.

  "Are you sure you want to take this mission?"

  "Is there a problem?"

  Shin frowned. Could they not even take B-rank missions?

  He had looked at the k missions; they were all esissions or bandit extermination. He wasn't ied in those.

  "You , but it's dangerous. You three are newly promoted in."

  "We'll take it," Shin said firmly.

  He wasn't worried about danger. Hunting down a in-level missing-nin shouldn't be a problem.

  The clerk shrugged and handed Shin the missioails. It wasn't his problem if they failed.

  "We're still stuck with D-rank missions, and you're already doing B-rank?"

  Nawaki, Minato, and the others looked at them with envy. They also wao do higher-level missions. D-rank missions were mind-numbingly b.

  "We're going on a mission. We'll treat you all to dinner whe back," Shin said to them.

  They left Konoha. Unbeknownst to them, Hiruzen was informed of the mission they had taken.

  "Hunting down ae in-level missing-nin? With their strength, they shouldn't be in any danger."

  Hiruzeimated Shin's strength to be around Tokubetsu Jōnin level. Kushina and Mikoto could also defeat elite in.

  He didn't think Shin was Jōnin level yet. A ten-year-old Jōnin was too absurd, even for him.

  Meanwhile, Danzō was also informed.

  "Uzumaki Shin, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uchiha Mikoto have left Konoha. This is our ce. I don't want another failure. Uand?"

  Danzō looked at the kneeling Root member.

  His previous attempt to kill Tsunade and capture Shin had failed miserably.

  He had sent members to iigate, but they found nothing. The bodies had been disposed of. Danzō bmed Hiruzen for this.

  Hiruzen was also puzzled by Kato Dan's disappearance. He had sent Anbu to iigate, but they found nothing. He eventually cluded that Dan had been killed by enemy ninja.
