Half Uchiha With a Trait Panel

After several days of routine, more ninjas arrived at the base.

Kiyoshi heard the commotion outside the tent and stopped his training to investigate.

Thanks to his powerful physique, he could easily complete his daily tasks and squeeze out time for his own training.

With his increasingly refined chakra control, he was already able to perform a minimal cycle of Mōryō's power within his body along with Lightning Chakra.

Balance consumption and recovery.

Thanks to that, a constant operation occurs within Kiyoshi's body, or in simpler terms, setting it to idle.

Every morning, he could wake up and harvest, seeing how many cells had been strengthened overnight.

This was just the initial stage, and the efficiency would greatly improve later down the line.

"Orochimaru, since it's an escort mission, I'll dispatch some of my clansmen for you to use." Fugaku said.

During the war, ninjas would be organized into different squads based on their characteristics.

For escort missions, it's best to have a Hyuga for reconnaissance, an Uchiha for escort, and a medical ninja for treatment.

This configuration could greatly increase the success rate.

"I only need two Uchiha, can I choose one person?" Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.

"Choose one person?"

Fugaku was taken aback.

He turned to look at Yashiro, Yakumi, and others beside him. They were also confused.

"Orochimaru, who do you want?" Fugaku asked.

"Kiyoshi, Uchiha Kiyoshi, I want him." Orochimaru specifically named Kiyoshi.

The gathered Hyuga and Uchiha ninjas looked at each other.

Eventually, they made way, revealing Kiyoshi, who had just arrived and was standing at the back.

The gazes of the crowd varied. Some were puzzled, some were envious, and some were disdainful.

Although Kiyoshi had shown considerable talent and gained some fame, his rise to prominence was still short-lived.

Orochimaru was one of the legendary Sannin. To be recognized by such a figure was undoubtedly a great honor.

"He is Uchiha Kiyoshi?"

"You just found out?"

"These arms, these legs, so strong?"

There were whispers around.

Many people had heard of Kiyoshi's name but had never seen him. Today was the first time they saw him, and they felt he was extraordinary.

"Orochimaru-sama."

Kiyoshi said, walking forward step by step.

Behind Orochimaru were many Konoha ninjas.

It seemed they planned to transfer through this base to another battlefield.

Now that the flames of war were raging, ninjas were running around.

Even the great nations had many cases of invasion.

"Heh heh, long time no see, Kiyoshi-kun." Orochimaru said.

"Orochimaru, if you want him, I'll transfer Kiyoshi to you. Tekka, you go too." Fugaku turned to Tekka and said.

Kiyoshi's strength was good, and going on such a mission, he would not disgrace the Uchiha name.

"Yes, Fugaku-sama."

Tekka replied immediately.

Then Orochimaru asked Hizashi for two people.

Hizashi hesitated for a moment and chose Natsu and Tetsu.

The two were Kiyoshi's classmates, and it would be good to have someone to look after each other on the mission.

"You come with me, we're going to the next base to retrieve intelligence."

Orochimaru counted the number of people and gave Kiyoshi and the others ten minutes.

They quickly rushed to another base.

…

"Captain Yugito, the Konoha ninjas should be escorting a piece of intelligence from here to there."

A Kumo Ninja spread out a map on the ground and drew a route for the blonde woman.

Even though Konoha has the Yamanaka clan, they mostly use primitive escort missions for transferring Intel.

This is because the processing volume is too large. A large amount of intelligence is sent back to the rear every day, and new orders are issued from the rear.

The chakra reserves of the Yamanaka clan ninjas are simply not enough. It consumes a lot of chakra to perform those sensory transmission secret techniques.

Moreover, this type of secret technique also has the risk of being intercepted by the enemy.

"Let's go first."

Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, glanced at the map. It was a good opportunity to see the traces of Kiyoshi.

…

The sun on the mountain gradually set.

The group arrived at another base before nightfall.

Orochimaru went to negotiate with the ninja in charge of this base and brought out another group of people.

The intelligence that needed to be escorted this time was extraordinary and had to be taken seriously.

Among them, there was naturally no shortage of pawns.

"Kiyoshi, long time no see!"

Kiyoshi had just entered when a cheerful voice came out. He looked back and saw Kurenai.

"Kurenai."

Kiyoshi nodded, asking her how she had been recently.

Kurenai immediately puffed up her cheeks, saying that there was inconvenience.

Kiyoshi patiently listened to Kurenai's mumbling. Before long, he saw Asuma coming over.

Compared to the rebellious temperament he had in the village, Asuma had become much more sturdy now.

The arrival of adolescence meant a surge in various hormones.

Asuma had more hair on his cheeks and chin.

He looked a bit more stable or old-fashioned than his peers.

"Yo, Kiyoshi."

Asuma waved his hand.

Kiyoshi nodded.

Tekka stood behind Kiyoshi and greeted the others as well.

This group of people all came from the same class. They were not strangers to each other.

"Natsu, be careful on this mission."

While the others were exchanging greetings and waiting for Orochimaru to return, Tetsu said cautiously to Natsu.

"I know." Natsu said softly.

Faced with Tetsu's approaching behavior, she retreated half a step without showing any emotion, and glanced at Kiyoshi's profile.

She was afraid that Kiyoshi would misunderstand.

Tetsu was full of worries about the outcome of the mission, his eyes filled with confusion.

This kind of mission definitely requires decoys. Among several intelligence scrolls, only one is the real scroll.

The escorting ninjas are strictly forbidden to open it during the journey.

Only after completing the mission can they know whether the scroll is real or fake.

What scroll will they get?

"Alright, get ready to go."

The crowd didn't wait too long. Orochimaru gave each of the people on this mission a rice ball and a scroll.

After saying some points to pay attention to, he swallowed the rice ball in his hand and led the crowd to a distant place to escort the intelligence.

In war, intelligence is important. Once the enemy knows the plan, they will be targeted and ambushed.

Therefore, Orochimaru had personally taken part in this mission.

…

The dark night turned to dawn.

The crowd traveled silently all night.

A so-called ninja is a person who knows perseverance. Such a long journey is routine for ninjas.

"The road ahead will be more dangerous."

Orochimaru gave everyone a heads-up in advance.

There were traces of other ninja villages operating here, and it was likely that they would set up ambushes in advance.
