After Tsunade's comfort, Haru trained harder than ever. He used the scrolls left by Yasuhi to him .
He also spent more time with Tsunade now.
One day, he was notified to go to the Hokage's office to accept the task issued by the village.
Arriving at the Hokage's office, Haru saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, who liked to hold a pipe as always.
He said : "You have grown up."
"Next, There is a task that I need you to complete."
"Excuse me, but may I ask who is my team leader?" Haru asked
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "The leader will be someone from your clan, Uchiha Chi. He is a ninja recommended by your clan."
Haru was quite satisfied with what he heard.
This person was an old acquaintance, not just any random person
So Haru asked"That's good, what is my next mission?"
"You will gather at the gate of Konoha later, and Chi will explain it to you."
Haru said indifferently, "Then is there anything else to do? If not, I will leave."
"Aren't you curious about the other two?"
"Anyway, I've said it, I probably don't know them either, I can get to know them later."
Haru didn't pay much attention to the information of other people in the village except Tsunade.
It's better to improve his own strength with this time.
Hiruzen looked at Haru and sighed. He learned from his spies that Haru had created a ninjutsu and also heard Elder Yasuhi's evaluation of him.
This makes him always on gaurd against Haru. He doesn't want any unstable factor arise during his rule.
He wanted to give Haru some hard task to kill him outside village. But for some reason Clan leader of Uchiha clan has very tough attitude against it.
This makes him wonder whether Haru has awakened Sharingan, but there is not witness of it.
So he could only give up. He can use Danzo but Danzo is also busy dealing with Land of Grass.
Some time ago ninjas from land of Grass were seen meeting Ninjas of Hidden Sand village.
So he dispatched Danzo to handle this matter. But what he didn't know was that Danzo was going to use this to escalate matter and this will be start of Second Shinoni world war.
.....
At the gate of Konoha Village, besides Uchiha Chi, an old acquaintance, there were two other members, one of whom haru knew.
She was a girl two years older than Haru, named Sayuri, and she was from the same tribe as him, but she didn't have the Sharingan and was good at medical ninjutsu.
Seeing her, Haru couldn't help but think of Tsunade, and didn't know what to do now...
Haru sighed in his heart and shook his head. He didn't want to think about these things, but still had to focus on the present.
He asked: "Then Mr. Chi, what is our next mission?"
"..."
Haru called him, but the other party didn't respond, so he couldn't help but add a sentence: "Is there something wrong?"
Uchiha Chi was brought back to reality by Haru's words and apologized: "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
Distracted?
A confused look appeared on Haru's face. In his impression, Uchiha Chi should not be the kind of person who would be distracted.
He was very curious, but the other party did not seem to want to explain, so he did not ask.
Uchiha Chi restrained his expression and said solemnly: "The enemy ahead is launching a fierce attack to break through the border of the Land of Fire. In order to stop the enemy's offensive, our task is to destroy their supply lines."
Haru asked: "There should be other people besides us for this mission."
"Of course, to be on the safe side, there will be an Anbu branch to provide necessary cooperation."
Hearing what he said, Haru felt more relieved. Those who can enter the Anbu are basically masters.
Uchiha Chi looked at Haru who was thinking without revealing his expression.
Because after the revelation from the Uchiha clan leader, he now knows more or less the secret of Haru's awakening both Kekkei genkai's.
He thought to himself that it was no wonder that when Elder Yasuhi was still alive, he was so fond of Haru. It turned out that there was such a reason.
He was recommended by the Uchiha clan leader to be Haru's team leader.
In addition to his job duties, the most important thing is to protect Haru's life.
In order to avoid accidents, the clan also specially placed a rare medical ninja, Sayuri.
As for the other one, it is relatively dispensable.
"During the execution of the mission, you must listen to my command and never act without authorization."
The three responded, "Understood."
Perhaps because he was worried about someone, Uchiha Chi finally added a sentence: "Especially you, Haru. This mission is different from the past."
Haru: ...
After understanding the mission, everyone rushed to the target location without stopping.
They were silent all the way. I don't know how long they had been leading, and they could clearly feel that the sky was getting dark.
"Stop."
Uchiha Chi made a low voice, and the others stopped and looked over, waiting for the next instruction.
Uchiha Chi nodded with satisfaction. The comprehensive strength of a team has many considerations, among which obedience to orders is a very important part.
"Rest first and adjust your condition. If you go any further, you will enter the enemy's territory, where you may encounter an ambush at any time. By then, you will not have time to rest even if you want to."
