"Even if it's my shadow clone standing in front of you, it's not something you can underestimate. What do you think you're doing?"
Yoichi gripped the wrist of Rumi, and gently twisted it, making the young girl kneel before him. Simultaneously, his right hand swiftly caught a thrown shuriken and flung it back, narrowly slicing off a strand of Kurenai's hair.
"The reason I allowed you to launch surprise attacks is because you're too weak. Without resorting to surprise tactics, you don't stand a chance.
Yet, one of you attacked head-on with arrogance, and another openly formed hand seals for a genjutsu, with hand seal speeds so slow I wondered if your hands were injured.
Kazuhito did somewhat better, taking advantage of the moment his teammate was captured to launch a surprise attack. But next time, don't hold back; even if you use explosive tags, it's fine."
After critiquing the three, Yoichi finally released Rumi and continued to address them, "Due to your disappointing performance, each of you will undertake a D-rank mission today, to be completed before 1 PM, and then start training."
D-rank missions are the foundation for advancing to Chūnin. When he was advancing, he too had completed sixteen D-rank missions before applying for the Chūnin exams.
Without completing a certain number of D-rank missions, one wouldn't even qualify to apply.
"Let's go, pick up the missions."
Yoichi's shadow clone led the team towards the Hokage Building. He wasn't one for coddling in a greenhouse environment; once they'd racked up enough D-rank missions, they would immediately start on C-rank and B-rank missions.
While his shadow clone was leading the team on missions, his real body was at home.
Yoichi had ordered a device for monitoring body data, which had arrived. He had asked Mina to take a day off to help him check for any abnormalities during his training with the star stone.
This set of equipment was extremely expensive, costing over twenty million ryō in total and was comprehensive enough to detect changes in every part of the body – more complete than any device available in the Leaf Hospital.
Yoichi had a member of the Gates's clan excavate a large space underground and reinforced it several times, making it suitable for training.
"As long as there isn't too much disturbance, this underground space won't collapse."
"Lord Yoichi, the equipment has been calibrated and is ready to be activated at any time."
After Mina finished speaking, her eyes slowly filled with heart symbols, and her lips curved into a smile. The monitoring required the removal of clothing, which meant she would be able to see Lord Yoichi's physique.
"Then I'll leave the next steps to you, Mina, though there probably won't be any issues."
After connecting to the equipment, Yoichi took out the star stone from his storage scroll, and Mina immediately sought refuge behind the protective equipment.
As soon as he took out the star stone, he felt an anomaly in Godzilla within him, similar to the reaction he had the last time he examined the star stone.
Placing his hand on the star stone, Yoichi immediately felt his chakra becoming unusually active. He then sensed a strange energy emanating from the star stone.
"Roar!!"
In the sealing space within him, Godzilla woke up from its slumber, shaking its gigantic body and charging at the seal, causing the Four Symbols Seal formula to appear on Yoichi's abdomen.
Thankfully, Yoichi reacted promptly, absorbing the strange energy emitted by the star stone, which gradually calmed Godzilla down.
Unknowingly, Yoichi slowly activated his Sharingan, with the three tomoe in his pupils slowly rotating and even starting to converge towards the center.
However, the speed at which the three tomoe moved towards the center was very slow. At this rate, it would take at least a month for the three tomoe to converge at the center of the pupil.
"Your body temperature is rising... 40 degrees... 50 degrees... 60 degrees... Your brain activity is also exceptionally high. Lord Yoichi, are you feeling okay?"
Mina observed as the data showed abnormalities far beyond human limits, but Yoichi's face showed no sign of pain, leaving her unsure of how to proceed.
Bang!
Suddenly, the shadow clone leading the mission team dissolved, sending back chakra and memories to Uchiha , instantly waking him.
"What's this..."
Awakened by the dissolution of the shadow clone, Yoichi realized his body temperature was excessively high, breathing out hot air through his nostrils as if his lungs were about to catch fire.
He quickly sealed the star stone away and jumped into a pre-prepared tub of water to cool down his body.
Hiss! Hiss!
Instantly, a large amount of steam rose, and as his body temperature gradually decreased, Yoichi started to feel better.
"Lord Yoichi, it was my fault. Your body just exhibited extremes beyond all human limits, and you didn't respond when I called you. Next time, I'll terminate the experiment earlier."
"It's not your fault, Mina. I was a bit dazed just now. We'll be more careful next time."
Yoichi reassured her, theorizing that the power of the star stone might resonate with the Sharingan, which could explain why he lost consciousness.
Fortunately, the chakra disturbance in his body also affected his shadow clone, and the chakra and memories returned from the dissolved clone helped him regain consciousness.
'The power of the star stone seems to enhance Dōjutsu, resonating with the Sharingan. Could the power of the star stone originate from the Ten-Tails?'
Yoichi pondered, feeling an enhancement in his Sharingan's power. If he were to repeat this process several times, his Sharingan's power would increase significantly, potentially even awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Turning his head, Yoichi looked towards Mina, who was slowly approaching him.
"Lord Yoichi, is something wrong?"
Mina straightened up and asked when she noticed Yoichi looking at her.
"It's nothing."
Deciding to set aside thoughts of the Mangekyō Sharingan for now, Yoichi prioritized Mina over his Dōjutsu. After all, the power of a pair of eyes wasn't as important, especially now that the star stone seemed to enhance the power of the Sharingan, potentially allowing for natural evolution to the Mangekyō Sharingan.
After cooling down and assessing his body's changes, Yoichi felt that Godzilla had once again fallen into a deep slumber.
However, his body had grown significantly in just a short period, and with a few more sessions, his size could quickly reach fifty to sixty meters.
Mina then showed Yoichi the data from his body during the experiment. It was as if they were monitoring a furnace, with peak body temperatures reaching eighty-eight degrees Celsius, and other metrics four to five times higher than the limits of a normal human.
"Lord Yoichi, we haven't detected any radiation, just a tiny bit of dispersion, which you probably absorbed."
"Next time, wake me up earlier, Mina."
"I understand, Lord Yoichi."
After leaving the underground chamber, Yoichi created a shadow clone to find Kurenai and Rumi.
His students were likely unaware of what had just happened with the sudden dissolution of the shadow clone.
As for his new ability, Yoichi found it somewhat indecent and had yet to use it even once.
[Succubus Physique]: Originating from the right hand of a succubus, this ability was upgraded by a deity. It not only grants incredible powers but also transforms into a unique physique.
Uchiha Yoichi found this ability somewhat odd, feeling more like he was in a world of demon ninjas rather than in the Naruto universe. (Taimanin, research at your own risk)
However, it could be useful against female enemies, allowing them to die happily on their way to the afterlife, which might be the true purpose of this power.
"Lord Yoichi, is your hand injured? Ah~!"
"Mina, stop."
Mina thought Yoichi was examining an injury on his hand from the training and attempted to use medical ninjutsu to help.
As soon as she touched Yoichi's right hand...
Mina suddenly sat down, trembling slightly.
"Mina, are you alright?"
Yoichi hurried to help her, but upon touching Mina with his right hand, he remembered his new ability.
"Ah~!"
Mina's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and tears welled up in her eyes, but it somewhat brought her back to her senses.
"Don't look, Lord Yoichi, please don't look~!!"
Mina, shaking and crying, said she would have left the embarrassing scene immediately if she had the strength.
She worried that Yoichi would think less of her, possibly even looking down on her with contempt.
The thought made Mina feel even hotter.
"Then, I'll leave first. Mina, you're not to blame for today."
Yoichi initially considered using a shadow clone to help Mina up, but hearing her tearful voice, he knew she was deeply embarrassed. After offering some comfort, he quickly left the underground chamber.
It was better to let her calm down alone at such a time.
After leaving, Yoichi thought to himself, "This power is too strong. I wouldn't fear even Ōtsutsuki Kaguya now.
However, it only works on the opposite sex, and only direct contact with my real body triggers it. Contact with a shadow clone should be safe."
His shadow clone had touched Rumi, and the young girl was unaffected by the power.
Fortunately, shadow clones did not inherit this ability; otherwise, Yoichi might have become infamous in the village for all the wrong reasons.
"I need to be extra cautious this month, avoiding contact with the opposite sex as much as possible."
...
"Sorry, Minato, for calling you here in such a rush, but this mission seems to require someone with your skills more than anyone else."
The Third Hokage extinguished his smoking pipe, then spoke with a somewhat solemn expression to Minato.
"This mission may take you to a place called Roran. Only Kakashi seems suitable from your squad to accompany you on this mission, so I'll temporarily suspend your squad's duties and assign two new members to assist you."
"Why? Lord Hokage, Rin and I are also qualified ninjas now. Why can Kakashi participate but not us?"
Obito protested, feeling it was unfair. If it was just their teacher Minato going, that would be one thing, but if Kakashi could go and he and Rin couldn't, that seemed unjust.
"Obito, Kakashi has already experienced similar missions, but you and Rin have not."
The Third Hokage tried to console him, recognizing Obito as a young ninja full of the Will of Fire, and patiently explained the situation.
"Lord Hokage, I would like to know more about the mission first. If it's not too dangerous, I'd like to take them along for the experience. After all, we're a team."
Minato intervened, preferring to keep the team together if possible, unless the mission was exceedingly dangerous, in which case he would leave Kakashi, Rin, and Obito in the village.
"Understood. This is an A-rank mission, but it's unlikely to involve combat with other ninjas."
The Third Hokage explained: "At the northern border of the Land of Wind lies a small country named Roran. The ANBU came across it while gathering intelligence on the Hidden Sand Village.
A minister there seems to harbor great ambition, and the country is rumored to be teeming with puppets, which could potentially threaten the world."
"Threaten the ninja world? That sounds serious!"
Obito clenched his fist, excited at the prospect of playing the hero.
"Idiot!"
Kakashi rolled his eyes, warning Obito not to interrupt the Hokage.
Rin also tugged at Obito, who sheepishly apologized after realizing his mistake.
The Third Hokage continued: "Though the idea of 'threatening the world' is a bit far-fetched, Roran is too small to pose such a threat; it doesn't even have its own ninja village.
The ANBU intended to investigate any connections between Roran and the Sand Village, but they found no Sand ninjas there. Instead, there's an abundance of puppets.
It's believed that Roran guards a power known as 'Dragon Veins', and these puppets are somehow linked to it."
"Lord Hokage, do you mean..."
"Go and investigate the Dragon Veins. If they truly pose a threat to the world, then deal with it."
The Third Hokage revealed his true intentions, noting that the village's seal experts were few and far between. Aside from Kushina, Minato was among the best, making him the prime candidate for this mission.
He then relit his pipe, adding: "Given that Roran doesn't have its own ninja force, the only challenge is crossing the Land of Wind and dealing with the inter-country aspects, which is why I've classified this as an A-rank mission. Minato, your thoughts?"
"I have no objections, Lord Hokage."
After pondering for a moment, Minato placed his hands on Kakashi and Obito's shoulders, smiling confidently, "Leave it to our team."

Although it was an A-rank mission, Minato thought it through carefully and concluded that it did not involve any ninja battles.
The only thing to be cautious about was the journey there, needing to avoid the ninja from the Sand Village. However, Hiruzen had already considered this and assigned two reconnaissance ninjas to Minato's team.
As long as they avoided the Sand Village ninja, the mission could be completed smoothly.
After Kakashi and the other two left, Hiruzen entrusted Minato with a deeper mission, which was to investigate whether Roran was supporting the Sand Village.
If the minister of Roran harbored great ambitions, it was likely that he would participate in the war.
If he showed such inclinations, they were to eliminate him and completely seal off the power of the Dragon Veins; Hiruzen was not sure if the Sand Village knew about the Dragon Veins of Roran, but if they knew its power could manipulate puppets, the Sand Village would definitely be interested.
Another A-rank mission was assigned specifically to Minato, which was to scout information about the Sand Village en route.
If Yōichi and Mina were to continue their mission, Hiruzen considered assigning this task to them.
However, after weighing the options, Minato , who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, was deemed more suitable. As long as he wasn't caught by a large number of ninja, his safety was assured.
After accepting the mission, Minato bid farewell to Hiruzen, but just as he was about to leave, he stopped, scratching his head and asked Hiruzen: "Lord Hokage, there's one more thing I need to report."
Hiruzen kindly said, "Minato, go ahead."
"It's about Kushina. Last time, Lord Hokage, you gave Kushina the method to perfectly control the Jinchuriki's power, which gave her a lot of inspiration. Recently, she has been trying to control the tailed beast's chakra and has made significant progress."
Minato talked at length about how hard Kushina had worked and the significant progress she had made.
Hiruzen sighed internally; he knew very well how far Kushina had progressed in her training, as she was accompanied by several Anbu members every day.
Finally, Minato changed the topic: "Lord Hokage, I will be leaving the village for a long-term mission, and Kushina might feel lonely. Could you allow her to visit her clan members at the Konoha Hospital?"
"Is that so? It was my oversight, neglecting Kushina's feelings."
Hiruzen said embarrassedly. Seeing this, Minato quickly waved his hand and said, "No, it has nothing to do with Lord Hokage. Previously, it was also for the sake of the people in the village. However, now that Kushina has made significant progress in controlling the tailed beast's chakra, the previous situations should not reoccur."
"I will talk to the Anbu, allowing Kushina's activities to extend within the village. However, she still cannot go to places like the Forest of Death, as Kushina's safety is very important."
After thinking it over, Hiruzen said to Minato, simply allowing her activity range to extend to the Konoha Hospital seemed a bit stingy. It's better to let her move around the village, and just assign a couple more Anbu members if needed.
Kushina has indeed made progress, gradually becoming proficient in the tailed beast cloak. Although she can only maintain consciousness with one tail so far, it is much better than before, at least showing hope for a Jinchuriki to control the tailed beast transformation.
"Thank you, Lord Hokage."
Minato's face showed joy. After expressing his gratitude, he prepared to return and bring the good news to Kushina.
---
"Teacher, why did you suddenly dispel the Shadow Clone just now?"
After Yōichi's Shadow Clone arrived at the mission location, Kurenai approached him and asked.
"There was a little accident, but it's nothing to do with you. How is the mission going?"
Before Yōichi could finish speaking, Kurenai pulled out a kunai and threw it towards his face.
However, this kind of attack was no threat to Yōichi. He simply extended two fingers and quickly caught the kunai by its ring, saying, "Haven't you learned from last time?"
Before he could finish, Kurenai suddenly transformed into Rumi, charging at him with chakra-covered hands, attacking with the Gentle Fist style.
"Oh? Using the Transformation Technique to lower my guard, not bad, finally using your brain."
As he spoke, Yōichi threw the kunai to the side.
The kunai collided in mid-air, changing direction and hitting the shuriken thrown by another team member.
The first kunai hit a shuriken, causing a chain reaction in the air, blocking all the shuriken.
At this moment, Rumi also quickly launched a palm strike at Yōichi, but he tapped her wrist, diverting the attack while commenting,
"Don't rush to attack vital points. Consider the enemy's reaction when attacking, and only reveal your intent when you're sure of a kill."
After speaking, Yōichi prepared to grab Rumi's wrist.
But the young girl with the Byakugan suddenly formed a hand seal, and with a bang, transformed into another person, with red pupils showing a hint of pride. The suddenly appeared Kurenai had completed her hand seals.
"Body Replacement?"
"Teacher, you lost, Art of the Underworld!"
The genjutsu was activated!
Yōichi suddenly looked dazed, as if he was caught in the illusion.
Seeing this, Kurenai jumped up in joy and turned to her teammates hiding in the forest, saying, "Rumi, we succeeded in the operation!"
Rumi also came out from the forest, happily rubbing her wrists, but before she could speak, her face suddenly turned panicked and pointed behind Kurenai,
"What success?"
A voice sounded, and then Kurenai felt a chill on her neck, followed by a hand grabbing her face and pulling her aside.
Kurenai was shocked and turned to see her teacher, who didn't seem affected by the genjutsu at all, and hurriedly asked, "Tea... Teacher, you weren't affected by my genjutsu just now?"
"I've told you, the most important thing about genjutsu is concealment. You specifically reminded me, giving me enough time to react. Should I thank you?"
Yōichi, seeing the other two approach, said to the three, "The tactic was good, knowing how to use strengths and weaknesses and the enemy's psychology, but pay attention to the details, which will be life or death against real enemies."
"Kurenai, you missed the final details, and your teammates didn't help you cover them up. Go pick up two D-rank missions later, and meet at the barbecue restaurant after you finish them this afternoon. My treat."
After speaking, Yōichi immediately dispelled the Shadow Clone, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing.
Leaving the three behind, Kurenai awkwardly said, "Sorry, if it wasn't for me, we might have already completed the mission to attack the teacher."
Rumi shook her head and said, "It's not your fault, Kurenai. Teacher is too strong. Facing Yōichi-sensei with Gentle Fist, I felt no chance of winning."
"I wish my ninja tool throwing skills were as good as Yōichi sensei's."
After sighing, the three headed towards the Hokage Building. Although they had completed a D-rank mission, they had to take on two more because of a mistake and finish them before dinner.
The thought of missing the barbecue made them feel like they had to work hard.
However, when Kurenai and the others arrived at the Hokage Building, they ran into their academy classmates from the first class led by Asuma.
Seeing Kurenai, Asuma smiled and approached to greet her, "Kurenai, are you also here to submit a mission?"
"Yeah, Asuma, you too?"
"Right, we just completed a C-rank mission. Kurenai, want to hang out after submitting the mission?"
Asuma looked hopeful, mentioning his C-rank mission also intending to show off his strength to Kurenai.
Kurenai shook her head and said, "No, Asuma, you go ahead. We still have to take on two more D-rank missions."
"Taking on two more D-rank missions? But it's almost noon, can you make it?"
Asuma looked around and asked, "Where's your Jōnin instructor? He didn't take a break and let you handle missions by yourselves, did he?"
"Yōichi-sensei has something to do, Asuma. Sorry, we have to go do our mission now."
Kurenai waved goodbye and then went with her teammates to submit and take on new missions.
Yōichi had already notified the mission office, so Kurenai and her teammates could freely choose D-rank missions.
"Asuma, Kotonaru, and Iwashi, wait here for me, okay? After I submit the mission, let's go have barbecue."
Their Teacher said, as it was his younger brother's first time completing a C-rank mission, he wouldn't be stingy about a meal.
As for Team 8, he felt Yōichi wanted to quickly accumulate mission experience for the team and then participate in the Chūnin Exams.
Having sixteen D-rank missions allowed participation in the Chūnin Exams, but for these newly graduated Genin, it seemed a bit premature.
However, Sarutobi couldn't criticize Yōichi, as that would mean questioning his teaching method. He could only mention it to his father later. Judging by Asuma's reaction, he seemed quite interested in Kurenai.
On the other side.
After the Shadow Clone's memories returned to the original body, Yōichi also learned about Kurenai and her teammates' tactics.
There was some growth, but not much!
After a few more missions and mastering chakra control, they could take on missions outside the village to kill.
Within a year, all three should be promoted to Chūnin. This was Yōichi's bottom line. If any of them were only promoted to Chūnin at eleven, it would be a loss of face for him.
"Hey, kid, what are you thinking about?"
Tsunade's voice brought Yōichi back to reality, and then he shook his head and said, "The memories from the Shadow Clone leading the team just returned."
Mina was originally supposed to come today, but she was a bit leg-weary and still taking a bath close to that time, so she had to ask Yōichi to speak to Tsunade on her behalf.
"Leading a team, huh. I've been calling you kid for so long, and now you're at this stage."
Tsunade reminisced for a moment, initially displeased with Yōichi's mouth, but misunderstandings were gradually resolved. As a senior, how could she hold a grudge against a junior?
Now, leaving the village, the only things Tsunade felt a bit reluctant to leave behind were two issues: how she turned into a hog and whether she wore undergarments that day.
Yōichi handed a storage scroll to Shizune, saying, "This is for you, Shizune. This is for your food and lodging expenses. Make sure Tsunade doesn't get her hands on it, otherwise, you'll have to live in a cave and starve with her."
"Ah, yes, thank you."
Shizune gratefully accepted the scroll, knowing Yōichi was a Jōnin in the village and calling him "sir" as a Genin was definitely correct.
However, Tsunade was a bit upset after hearing this, "Hey, don't ruin my reputation. I'm not that unreliable!"
Yōichi sighed and said, "Mina used to bring food for two people to the Konoha Hospital every day."
"Alright, alright, bringing up something from so long ago. You're really no fun, kid."
Tsunade interrupted coldly, remembering when that was. It was just a time when she was a bit short on cash.
"The future of the village now depends on your generation."
Before leaving the village, Tsunade still felt a bit emotional, then suddenly inspired, as if passing the baton, she patted Uchiha Yōichi on the shoulder.
"From now on, the village will kyah~!"
Tsunade very 'ladylike' sat on the ground with her legs inward.
'Tsunade, hold on! Hold on!! You can't lose face.'
Tsunade's remaining reason kept warning herself, taking a few deep breaths, and after an unknown amount of time, she gradually calmed down.
However, her face was still flushed, like a ripe fruit, making her already attractive face even more appealing.
"Tsunade-sama, are you, are you okay?"
Shizune cautiously asked, as Tsunade suddenly sat down in front of her, gasping for breath, as if sick.
"I, I'm fine."
Tsunade took a few more deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
"Shizune, where's that kid!?"
Tsunade looked around, realizing Yōichi had already disappeared, confirming that her embarrassing state was definitely related to him!
If he didn't do it, why would he run?
"You mean Yōichi?
He said he had an out-of-village mission and left immediately using the Body Flicker Technique."
Shizune pointed towards the village gate, as Yōichi had left very quickly, disappearing in an instant after speaking.
"Okay, okay!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth, remembering this incident and definitely not forgetting it!
