Those who most yearn for the battlefield have never experienced it.
Asuma, Tetsuo, and Hamasu were such a group.
Therefore, Shintaro did his best to keep them from going to the battlefield.
However, he still underestimated the passion of boys their age.
Asuma said seriously, "Even so, I will prove my strength on the battlefield!"
Tetsuo, not wanting to be outdone, said, "Don't underestimate the power of the Uchiha Clan. Missions like this investigation are too easy."
Hamasu, rarely expressing his own opinions, said, "Me too."
Shintaro raised his hand to his forehead, knowing that what he had just said was futile.
He felt like a captain acting like the parent of a troublesome child, immediately regretting agreeing to Minato's team reorganization.
That afternoon, he received orders requiring his team to go to the border of the Land of Frost to investigate the movements of the Kumogakure Ninja.
Shintaro easily packed his gear and watched as Asuma and the other two messed around in the camp for a long time, finally coming out fully equipped, with bulging ninja pouches on their backs.
"In a reconnaissance mission, it's important to travel light... Forget it, let's go." He compromised and let them be happy.
Asuma then enthusiastically followed Shintaro, while Tetsuo and Hamasu appeared excited.
As members of the Uchiha Clan, Tetsuo and Hamasu were destined to join the police force. At that time, they could only stay in the village and do safe police duties. Therefore, they cherished the chance to go to the battlefield during the war.
As the second son of the Hokage, Asuma had been well protected since childhood, so it was inevitable he would be overly excited when heading to the battlefield.
Shintaro led the team to the border of the Land of Frost. The trees here began to thin out, and the flat highlands not far ahead were the Land of Frost.
Shintaro sat in a tree, took out his notebook, and began recording information.
This information was nothing more than the number of Kumogakure Ninja crossing the border from here.
Facing the Kumogakure Ninja crossing the border, he could easily kill them, but he adhered to the mission requirements with a mentality of doing more rather than less and remained silent to record intelligence.
Shintaro's character allowed him to suppress his desire to kill the enemy and achieve merit, but the three rookie Chunin next to him were different.
"Shintaro, let's move forward. Rather than recording information, it's better to kill them directly." Asuma approached and said.
Tetsuo and Hamasu also seemed to agree.
"There are two Jonin, four Chunin, and six Genin on the Kumogakure side. We only have one Jonin and three Chunin. How can we manage that?" Shintaro asked.
Asuma was surprised, "Aren't you here?"
Shintaro calmly replied, "What if... I weren't Uchiha Shintaro?"
With his strength, he could easily wipe out the small force in front of him alone.
Asuma also knew this, so he urged him to take action anxiously.
However, Shintaro's words made Asuma pause for a moment.
'Yes… when did I start… relying on Shintaro's strength like this?' Asuma asked himself silently.
Seeing he had gained some insight, Shintaro continued to record the information.
Tetsuo, confused, said, "Aniki, what are you talking about? Aren't you Uchiha Shintaro?"
Shintaro helplessly said, "If you only rely on my strength, you will never grow."
Tetsuo's expression halted, and he also thought hard.
Hamasu said from the side, "Nii-san, I think Aniki is right."
Shintaro nodded happily and continued to record his information.
However, sometimes, if you don't seek trouble, trouble will come to you.
A small group of twelve Kumogakure Ninja noticed the movement of Shintaro and the others and immediately headed in this direction.
It seemed the voices of Asuma and the other two asking Shintaro questions were a bit too loud.
Shintaro sighed and said, "Well then, let me give you the opportunity you've been waiting for."
He, who originally just wanted to complete the mission and return to the camp after finishing work, started his forced business.
Facing an enemy of this level, he showed no interest.
Shintaro jumped from the branch and charged at the small force of Kumogakure Ninja with astonishing speed.
He floated in the air, holding two Kumogakure Jonin with his hands.
"Don't interfere with the newcomers' performance on the battlefield."
The two Kumogakure Ninja quickly drew their swords to resist, but they couldn't slash his body.
Shintaro raised his fingers, using [Blue] to pull the two Kumogakure Jonin and six Genin, leading them to fly to the flat highlands in the Land of Frost.
The remaining four Kumogakure Chunin, staying in place, looked like they had just seen a ghost.
One of the Kumogakure Ninja suddenly remembered something and shouted, "He's the white-haired eye demon!"
"Why does he look like a ghost..." Another Kumogakure Ninja was still frightened by Shintaro's figure earlier.
"Why did he let us go?" Another Kumogakure Ninja found that blind spot.
"Someone's here again!" The last Kumogakure Ninja spotted Asuma and the others.
"[Katon: Haisekishō]"
Asuma launched an attack that gathered ash, and the Kumogakure Ninja instinctively avoided the high-temperature ash, so the extremely powerful move only caused minor injuries to one enemy.
It seemed the remaining Kumogakure Chunin were enough for Asuma and the others.
Asuma drew his Chakra Blade and approached the enemy.
At the same time, Tetsuo and Hamasu stood by Asuma, drawing kunai to attack the other Kumogakure Ninja.
Asuma alone pressured two Kumogakure Chunin, while the other two were handled by Tetsuo and Hamasu.
Asuma's strength surpassed that of ordinary Chunin, but he also showed difficulty in dealing with two Kumogakure Chunin at the same time.
Fortunately, his Wind Element happened to counter the Lightning Element, allowing him to suppress the two Lightning Element Ninjas on the other side with his own strength.
Next to them, Tetsuo and Hamasu were not weak and held their own against the adult Kumogakure Ninja, who were also Chunin.
The battle between the two sides continued.
The two Kumogakure Ninja cooperated to perform Lightning Element Ninjutsu, trying various attacks to break through Asuma's wind-element-covered fists.
However, Asuma did not dodge but charged forward.
"[Chakura-tō: Maichimonji]"
The Chakra Blade in his hand suddenly extended a sharp wind blade, breaking through the lightning chakra defense and slashing the chests of the two Kumogakure Ninja, finally killing them.
However, the residual power of the lightning wave also struck him, causing him to kneel on the ground in paralysis.
The enemy in front of Tetsuo showed a moment of panic-induced weakness, which Tetsuo's single-tomoe Sharingan detected sharply, and a kunai was launched, accurately striking the enemy's throat.
The enemy Hamasu faced was even tougher. He raised his sword, about to slash Hamasu's head.
Seeing this, Tetsuo rushed forward anxiously, trying to prevent the tragedy.
"Hamasu!"
Seeing his younger brother in danger, Tetsuo instantly unlocked his double-tomoe Sharingan.
However, at this moment, the Kumogakure Ninja suddenly turned around and slashed at Tetsuo behind him.
The Kumogakure Ninja appeared fierce, thinking he had succeeded.
Tetsuo's newly opened double-tomoe Sharingan allowed him to react to the limit, but due to his physical limitations, he was a half-step too slow.
PU-CHI
Tetsuo was stabbed in the chest, and blood spattered.
"Nii-san!"
Seeing this, Hamasu also evolved from single-tomoe to double-tomoe, exploding with astonishing speed, and a kunai was thrust into the Kumogakure Ninja's waist.
The Kumogakure Ninja leaned forward in pain, and Tetsuo grabbed the ninja's sword despite his injury, plunging it into the ninja's neck, splattering blood on his face.
At this moment, Shintaro, who had been confronting the enemy and staying on the highlands to watch the show, approached the group.
"So now, you should have a little understanding of what war is, right?"
Asuma forced his stiff and numb body to rise from the ground, kneeling with his head bowed and silent.
Hamasu hurried to Tetsuo to check his wound frantically, but it only made Tetsuo grit his teeth in pain.
"Aniki... We were careless. Without you, we couldn't even face these people..."
Tetsuo turned to Shintaro and blamed himself.
He didn't care about his wound, but he was still afraid of the fact that Hamasu was in danger now.
Hamasu's eyes reddened, "Sorry, Nii-san, if you hadn't saved me... You wouldn't have gotten hurt..."
"This small injury is nothing... Hisss..." said Tetsuo, inhaling cold air.
Although his injury wasn't fatal, there was still a risk of it worsening if not treated promptly.
Shintaro then said in a deep voice: "Alright, let's return to the camp for treatment. Tetsuo's injury is nothing."
[Reverse Cursed Technique] could only be used to heal himself. Otherwise, he would have healed them both.
Hamasu wiped his tears and nodded, supporting Tetsuo, while Tetsuo cursed: "Idiot, it's not like my leg is broken, do I need you to help me?"
Hamasu immediately pulled his hand away as if he had made a mistake.
Seeing this, Tetsuo realized that his tone was too harsh, and he was also very aware of his younger brother's thoughts, so he changed his tone and said patiently: "I'm not blaming you for my injury. I was afraid the Kumogakure Ninja's initial move was aimed at me."
Hamasu nodded silently and did not reply.
Tetsuo then hugged Hamasu's neck playfully, leaning on him and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault now. I know you care about me."
Hamasu's face relaxed a little, and he raised his head and said seriously: "Nii-san, I won't let you get hurt for me again."
Tetsuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Oh, you've grown up."
Shintaro turned back to Asuma and said, "Let's go, Asuma, why are you still kneeling on the ground?"
Asuma stood up, looking a bit confused.
It was the first time he had fought a life-and-death battle with a ninja of equal rank from one of the five great ninja villages.
He realized his lack of strength in the previous fight and muttered: "I'm still too weak..."
Shintaro consoled: "After all, you also defeated two Chunin."
Asuma wanted to say more. Shintaro raised his hand to stop him.
"I've told you long ago, don't compare yourself to me."
Asuma sighed and said, "I'm not competing with you, it's just..."
Shintaro's blue eyes stared at him.
"Yes, even though you can't compare to me, there are many friends stronger than you."
He spoke a harsh truth.
Asuma's eyes trembled, feeling hurt by the truth he didn't want to acknowledge.
"But so what? Everyone must become stronger, including me. If I were strong enough back then, I could have saved the Inuzuka Gaku Forces and prevented them from dying on the shores of the Land of Frost."
"Even though I have become stronger, I still want to become stronger. And now I realize that not only do I need to become stronger, but my friends also need to become stronger. To change the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, I can't rely solely on my own strength."
"Asuma, Tetsuo, Hamasu, you are all friends that I acknowledge."
Shintaro's words made Asuma and the other two look at him one by one.
Shintaro knew that if he wanted to change the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, he couldn't do it alone.
Maybe with his current strength, which surpassed his previous life, he could kill all the Konoha higher-ups.
But then what? After that, Konoha would hate him and the Uchiha Clan.
His idea was to foster a group of strong and intelligent friends to change the fate of the Uchiha Clan and Konoha together.
And if the three people in front of him could be marked off Shintaro's list, it meant they were part of that group.
"Become stronger, at least... Don't fall too far behind me." He said sincerely.
Hearing this, Asuma's gaze changed from the previous confusion and bewilderment to determination.
Tetsuo changed his usual cunning and crafty attitude and rarely remained silent.
Meanwhile, Hamasu was moved and shouted: "Aniki! I definitely won't let you down..."
Shintaro smiled and said, "Actually, the atmosphere doesn't have to be too serious. I was just speaking a few words from the heart."
"Speaking of becoming stronger, everyone knows the importance of it, but sometimes it is limited by various reasons. But now you are on my team, I will take the responsibility as captain. If you need help, you can come to me."
His words fully showed the responsibility and attitude of a captain.
Asuma and the others also felt that Shintaro was no longer just a young genius; he had become an experienced ninja on the battlefield.
However, it seemed Shintaro had been this mature since he was a child.
Asuma, Tetsuo, and Hamasu nodded seriously.
The four then returned to the Konoha camp.
Hamasu sent Tetsuo to the medical ninja for treatment, while Shintaro and Asuma waited outside.
Shintaro took the initiative and said, "[Rasengan], how's your training?"
Hearing that, Asuma raised his hand and produced a [Rasengan] the size of a ball and said, "It's okay."
Shintaro glanced at the [Rasengan] in Asuma's hand with his Six Eyes and commented: "Its stability still needs improvement, but it's acceptable."
"Have you ever thought about injecting Wind Element Chakra into the [Rasengan]?"
"Wind Element?" Asuma was initially surprised, then suddenly realized: "Yes, [Rasengan] would definitely be very suitable for Wind Element. If the extreme chakra form change is combined with the chakra property change, then its power can definitely be enhanced."
"As expected of you, Shintaro, a very genius idea."
Shintaro smiled slightly and said: "It is indeed a genius idea, but it's not mine."
"This idea was proposed by Minato-sensei. He asked me to study the Wind Element Chakra change of [Rasengan] together."
"You happen to be the most talented Wind Element ninja I know. I think you can help."
Asuma accepted the recognition and said happily: "Don't worry, I will study it with full concentration."
Shintaro nodded slightly. At this moment, Tetsuo's injury had been treated, bandaged, and he was released.
He then said: "Today's mission is over, you can stay in the camp and recover."
After that, he left alone.
Upon reaching a secluded area, Shintaro activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.
He noticed that his Sharingan appeared slightly blue due to the fusion with the Six Eyes, and the basic functions of the Sharingan were also enhanced, which was very beneficial for ninjutsu development.
He produced a [Rasengan] in his hand.
In the previous battle, he tried to combine [Rasengan] and [Blue], but unfortunately failed.
He wanted to try it again alone. The [Rasengan] spun rapidly in his hand. He lifted the [Rasengan], then used that hand to release [Blue] simultaneously.
[Blue] intertwined with the blue color of the [Rasengan].
Shintaro adjusted the direction of the [Blue] pull from outside to inside, with the center right in the middle of the [Rasengan], and the pull range exactly at the radius of the [Rasengan].
In this way, the clear chakra of the [Rasengan] began to gather inside, and its color also changed from light to dark.
Until the [Rasengan], which was originally the size of a basketball, turned into a dark blue ball the size of an egg.
Shintaro lifted his hand and struck the dark blue [Rasengan] at the tree trunk.
BOOM
The tree trunk shattered into pieces, and the residual power of the dark blue [Rasengan] continued, destroying ten trees behind it as well.
Clearly, the chakra consumed did not change, but its power increased significantly due to compression.
Shintaro saw potential in this research direction.
"Sure enough, the development of Wind Element [Rasengan] is left to Asuma, so I can concentrate on researching the combination of [Limitless Technique] and [Rasengan]."
Shintaro once again found the role of friends.
