Chapter 79: Mission Command
"Did Uchiha Sasuke fail his application for the graduation examination?" Hinata brought a message back to Ryosuke when she got home from school.
This news was expected and did not cause much of a ripple in his heart. This was Sasuke's first attempt at the graduation assessment, but Ryosuke believed that he would apply again soon.
The changes in the ninja school system and the increased difficulty of graduation both indicated that Sarutobi Hiruzen or the Konoha high-level officials were intentionally restricting Sasuke's growth, keeping him in a relatively stable environment.
However, Ryosuke suspected that Sasuke would eventually break through these restrictions, complete the graduation assessment ahead of schedule, and become a Genin. This was the scene Ryosuke had foreseen when he saw into the future.
Of course, there was another possibility—that Ryosuke's own participation and interference were crucial for Sasuke to graduate early. Without his interference, it was very likely Sasuke would have still taken the group test with the others in his grade at the age of twelve, just like before.
This is the loophole of seeing too far into the future—the details become uncertain, and the future he saw might not necessarily happen. Unless, it was an event with no interruptions, like a meteorite hitting a planet.
But to be honest, Uchiha Sasuke currently didn't have any ideas that were worthy of Ryosuke's interest. So this news only stayed in his mind for a very short time before he put it behind him like any other task.
What Ryosuke needed to focus on now was the affairs of Land of Waves...
The next morning, at the entrance of Konoha Village, there was nothing to hide. Ryosuke and his group left the gate openly. The ostensible purpose of their trip was to fulfill the commission from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and send the Hyuga clan to the Land of Waves for diplomatic affairs. Secretly, they were going to take over everything in the Land of Waves.
Although the Konoha high-level officials might already know about this matter, because of the invasion of the envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village and the peaceful handling of the matter, they already owed Hyuga one, and this time they were repaying that debt, so they turned a blind eye.
"Hizashi-sama, shall we go directly to Land Waves next?" one of the two jonin in the team asked.
After he spoke, everyone in the team except Ryosuke and Hoshicai stopped and looked at Hyuga Hizashi in the team. Less than ten minutes into their journey, the entire team was suddenly divided into two parts because of that question. Ryosuke and Hoshicai were in one part, while the other part consisted of others headed by Hyuga Hizashi, including several Hyuga Chunins selected by Hoshicai.
Ryosuke stopped, turned around with a smile, and looked at the group behind him. The situation in Land of Waveshad been figured out, and he had gained his freedom. As for getting to the Land of Waves, the sooner the better.
Hyuga Hiashi had already assigned the corresponding jonin to him the night before. There were only two of them, but they were worth much more. One was Hizashi Hyuga, Hiashi's younger brother and Ryosuke's uncle. As the head of the branch family, Hyuga Hizashi was stronger than Hyuga Hiashi due to his frequent missions outside the village. The other was Hyuga Iroha, a senior Hyuga ninja with extremely pure Byakugan.
Both were outstanding jonin, and with the blessing of their Byakugan, they were considered elite among jonin. With the two of them, plus Ryosuke, Hoshicai, and a dozen others, they had a chance to flatten even a small ninja village.
But because of the strength of their two senior ninjas, and one of them being the head of a branch family, this team, originally led by Ryosuke, had a brief disagreement. As branch family ninjas, they were more inclined to listen to Hyuga Hizashi's orders rather than the seemingly immature Ryosuke, despite his remarkable growth.
However, the disagreement was resolved quickly.
"Ryosuke, what are you going to do?" Hizashi asked, raising his head to look at Ryosuke who was smiling in the distance.
"Uncle Hizashi, I have already planned the specific route. If everything goes well, we should be able to reach the border in three days," Ryosuke chuckled and replied, ignoring the brief disagreement.
"Then... what plans do you have for possible ambushes along the way?" Hizashi asked again.
"We need to take breaks during the journey. During these breaks, let the tribesmen with Byakugan investigate the surroundings to confirm there are no ambushes or trackers before continuing," Ryosuke replied.
They laid out the plan for heading to the Land of Waves in front of everyone, showing Hizashi was handing over command to Ryosuke.
Everyone in the team could see this clearly. Although they didn't know the reason, since Hizashi did it, they had no intention of refutation and listened silently to Ryosuke's arrangements.
Hizashi, meanwhile, was secretly observing Ryosuke during the questioning process.
Facing the young man who calmly answered every question, Hizashi's thoughts went back to the night before...
"Is the main mission to protect Ryosuke?"
In the dark night, at the dividing line between the Hyuga clan and the branch clan, Hyuga Hiashi dragged his sick body to meet his brother.
Looking at his elder brother with some doubt, Hizashi asked, "Who exactly is Ryosuke? Why is it worth your effort to train him?"
As the head of a branch family, Hizashi knew the situation in the clan better than most. He was aware that Ryosuke held a special status in the Hyuga clan, or in the main family. Sometimes, he even felt that the real future heir to the head of the family was not his weak niece, Hinata, but Ryosuke, the son-in-law who married into the branch family.
"If you see the specific situation during the mission, you will understand it," Hiashi said, not explaining much but warning earnestly, "There is one more important thing. If he really reveals his strength during the mission, ensure that any information leaks are eliminated."
"He is the hope of our Hyuga clan. If there are unexpected events that cannot be controlled during this mission, stop the mission immediately and bring Ryosuke back safely."
"Ryosuke's life is more important than the family. Hizashi, you understand the weight of my words."
