When Shin and his team returned to the Senju compound, Tsunade was already there. Seeing them, she asked, "Done with the exam?"
"Yes, I'm a Chunin now!" Kushina announced proudly.
"It's just Chunin. What's there to be proud of?" Tsunade said, glancing at Kushina.
"The Sandaime Hokage tried to recruit us into the Anbu," Shin said, looking at Tsunade.
"And you agreed?"
"No way. Joining the Anbu is boring. I crave freedom, not a life hiding in the shadows like a rat."
Tsunade was speechless. He compared the Anbu to rats? If the Anbu heard that, they'd probably come after him.
"I'm heading to the border tomorrow. Be careful when you go on missions, especially you two. Listen to Shin."
Tsunade looked at Kushina and Mikoto.
She was mainly talking to Kushina. Mikoto was obedient and cautious; she wouldn't cause trouble. Kushina, on the other hand...
"Got it, Tsunade. You be careful too," Kushina said.
Tsunade was surprised. She had expected Kushina to argue, but she actually sounded concerned.
"If the war breaks out, be careful on the battlefield. We don't want to hear any bad news," Shin added.
Tsunade was fine in the original story, but things might be different now.
"Don't worry, no one can defeat me."
"Just don't be reckless and charge at Kage-level opponents. If you're in danger, sell out your teammates. Let Orochimaru and Jiraiya take the hit. Especially Orochimaru; he's hard to kill."
Shin offered his advice.
Tsunade's eye twitched. What kind of advice was that?
"Relax, the war won't start that easily. It might just be a show of force," Tsunade said dismissively.
Shin shook his head. He knew this war would definitely happen, and it wouldn't end quickly.
The next morning, Tsunade left for the Land of Fire's border. Hiruzen had mobilized a force of three thousand Shinobi.
Including Genin, Konoha had a little over ten thousand Shinobi. Three thousand was a significant force.
"Let's go on a mission and have some fun outside the village!"
Shin said to Kushina and Mikoto.
The mission was secondary; exploring the world was the real goal.
At the mission assignment desk, they ran into Nawaki and his team.
"Shin, you're here! I thought you weren't coming," Nawaki said.
"Nawaki, we probably won't be able to do missions with you anymore."
Nawaki was confused. "Why not?"
"We passed the Chūnin Exams. We're Chunin now. We won't be doing D-rank missions anymore. You should try it too, Nawaki."
Kushina answered.
"We graduated together! Why did you become Chunin without telling me?" Nawaki whined.
"Don't worry, Nawaki. Genin are the strongest in Konoha. They can destroy the world."
Shin patted Nawaki's shoulder and took the mission list, scanning it.
[S-Rank Mission: Capture S-Rank Missing-Nin Uchiha Ryota]
Shin froze. Uchiha Ryota? If he remembered correctly, that was the guy he had a minor conflict with at the ramen shop.
He had also copied Ryota's Sharingan prowess four times.
But how did he become a missing-nin? And an S-rank one at that?
S-rank missing-nin varied in strength, but they were generally Kage-level or quasi-Kage level.
"Sorry, wrong list."
The clerk took the list back.
"These are S-rank and A-rank missions. Chunin can't take those. Here's the correct list."
He handed Shin another list.
"What are the requirements for taking S-rank missions?" Shin asked.
"You need a team of at least three elite Jōnin," the clerk replied.
"Fine. I'll take this mission to hunt down a Konoha missing-nin."
Shin chose a mission to hunt down an elite Chunin-level missing-nin. It was a B-rank mission.
"Are you sure you want to take this mission?"
"Is there a problem?"
Shin frowned. Could they not even take B-rank missions?
He had looked at the C-rank missions; they were all escort missions or bandit extermination. He wasn't interested in those.
"You can, but it's dangerous. You three are newly promoted Chunin."
"We'll take it," Shin said firmly.
He wasn't worried about danger. Hunting down a Chunin-level missing-nin shouldn't be a problem.
The clerk shrugged and handed Shin the mission details. It wasn't his problem if they failed.
"We're still stuck with D-rank missions, and you're already doing B-rank?"
Nawaki, Minato, and the others looked at them with envy. They also wanted to do higher-level missions. D-rank missions were mind-numbingly boring.
"We're going on a mission. We'll treat you all to dinner when we get back," Shin said to them.
They left Konoha. Unbeknownst to them, Hiruzen was informed of the mission they had taken.
"Hunting down an elite Chunin-level missing-nin? With their strength, they shouldn't be in any danger."
Hiruzen estimated Shin's strength to be around Tokubetsu Jōnin level. Kushina and Mikoto could also defeat elite Chunin.
He didn't think Shin was Jōnin level yet. A ten-year-old Jōnin was too absurd, even for him.
Meanwhile, Danzō was also informed.
"Uzumaki Shin, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uchiha Mikoto have left Konoha. This is our chance. I don't want another failure. Understand?"
Danzō looked at the kneeling Root member.
His previous attempt to kill Tsunade and capture Shin had failed miserably.
He had sent members to investigate, but they found nothing. The bodies had been disposed of. Danzō blamed Hiruzen for this.
Hiruzen was also puzzled by Kato Dan's disappearance. He had sent Anbu to investigate, but they found nothing. He eventually concluded that Dan had been killed by enemy ninja.
