The next morning, early in the morning, Sosuke arrived at the headquarters of Root. He wore a dark blue mask on his face, as he was going on this mission under the identity of a Root operative.

On the way, Sosuke carefully considered the specifics of the mission, but unfortunately, there was very little known information, making it impossible to deduce the exact objectives of the mission.

As for Might Dai, Sosuke trusted him completely and believed that today, Shimura Himiko should take some action. With Might Dai's strength, Sosuke was at ease.

Might Dai was undoubtedly a reliable partner for the team, which is why Sosuke recommended him to Shimura Himiko. And only in the presence of such a trusted comrade, Sosuke felt comfortable doing other things.

After waiting at the headquarters for a while, the Root ninja soon brought the other two members of the team.

They were both young individuals.

They each wore masks.

However, based on brief introductions, Sosuke was able to discern which one was from the Uchiha clan and which one was from the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan member wore a bird-faced mask and went by the code name "Kaga."

The Uchiha clan member, on the other hand, wore a twisted eye-shaped mask and went by the code name "Dou."

After a brief introduction, the Root ninja began to explain the details of the mission to them.

Upon hearing the nature of the mission, Sosuke and the two young Genin couldn't help but be taken aback!

It turned out that the daughter of the daimyo of the Fire Country, Shiji Yoshino wanted to find a group of ninja her daughter age as training partners!

Given such a request, Konohagakure naturally couldn't treat it lightly.

Moreover, since this was a mission personally issued by the daimyo, the selected Genin were not just meant to be training partners, but also likely responsible for protecting Yuko's safety. That's why they were granted special permission as this unique Genin team.

"The specific details of the mission are as follows: Once you arrive at the capital city of the Fire Country, there will be someone to receive you. The specific instructions will be given to you then. For now, it has been arranged for you to be led by Sosuke, operating under the code name 'Aizen'."

After the Root ninja finished speaking, he turned and left.

Leaving Sosuke and the others to digest the information about the mission.

At this moment, Sosuke furrowed his brow slightly as he pondered the role Danzo would play in this mission.

If it was just a matter of protecting the daimyo's daughter, it would be impossible for Danzo, given his character. It was likely that Danzo had reached some agreement with the daimyo of the Fire Country.

Based on Sosuke's understanding, the election of each Hokage required the votes of six daimyos, and Shiji Yoshino undoubtedly held the most influence among them.

Considering the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, as well as the daimyo of the Fire Country participating in this mission, Sosuke narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that things were becoming more and more interesting.

Giving a subtle glance at the two young Genin beside him, who seemed to have no desire to continue the conversation, their team immediately set off, heading towards the central city of the Fire Country, the Royal Capital.

This was also Sosuke's first time leading a team.

......

Fire Country, Royal Capital.

Inside a luxurious palace, on a wide training ground covered with wooden floorings.

A seemingly cold and stern young girl now held a wooden weapon in her hand, standing prepared on the opposite side of several adult warriors.

She was dressed in training attire, and the sweat lightly dampened her fair neck, sticking her hair to it.

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

Several towering adult warriors roared as they charged towards her!

In an instant!

Only a flash of yellow light could be seen from the girl's hand!

"Crack!" "Crack!"

The wooden weapons held by the adult warriors broke one after another.

The crowd of people clutched their vital areas and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The young girl took a deep breath and slowly put down the wooden sword in her hand.

A girl standing by her side immediately handed her a clean towel to wipe off the sweat.

As the girl gently wiped off the fragrant sweat from her body, she spoke softly.

"Tell Father to dismiss these guys. They couldn't even withstand a single blow from me. What use do I have for such people by my side?"

Her voice was cold and crisp, very pleasing to the ear.

She looked towards a certain direction with her black eyes, seemingly thinking of something. She tossed the towel to a maid standing nearby and spoke again.

"Have the Konoha ninjas that Father arranged last time not arrived yet? I'm getting more and more interested in these ninjas. It's said that samurai are no match for powerful ninjas. I wonder if that's true."

"Princess Yuko, the Konoha ninjas should be arriving soon. Besides, even if the ninjas are powerful, can they really stand against the army of the daimyo? We still have to follow your orders, so you are the most formidable one."

Hearing the flattery from her subordinates, Princess Yuko didn't show a smile on her face. She remembered the helpless expression her father had when he mentioned the ninjas.

But strange light flickered in Princess Yuko's eyes. She knew that ninjas' power might truly allow them to single-handedly take on an entire army. Such ability was almost unimaginable to her, so she eagerly wanted to know what made ninjas different.

........

On the way to the Fire Country.

Sosuke and the others continued without rest, making their way toward the capital city.

At that moment, one of the team members, Kaga, suddenly spoke up.

"Captain Aizen, it seems like we've entered the territory of the capital city!"

Upon hearing this, Sosuke immediately stopped in his tracks and glanced at him.

Looking forward from their position, they saw a vast forest. How did Kaga sense that they were about to reach the capital city?

It seemed that it was some kind of ability possessed by the Hyuga clan. Well, it was good. From his words, Sosuke could tell that he seemed to be more inclined towards him. It seemed that this guy had also been informed about the mission to kill the Uchiha.

But the Uchiha clan member, listening to this, cast a doubtful glance at Kaga but remained silent.

Both of them looked at Sosuke.

At that moment, Sosuke spoke softly.

"Then let's continue. Let's meet the ninjas inside the capital city as soon as possible. It will also make it easier for us to carry out our mission."

With that, the three of them set off again.

Of course, each of them carried their own thoughts.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Sosuke's lips.

It was truly an interesting mission. Without the time to execute the mission, without trust between teammates, what kind of situations would they encounter during the mission? Would it only be considered complete if they killed the Uchiha clan member?

Danzo-sensei, what kind of path have you arranged for me? What role will you play in all of this?
