Naruto:The System's Shadow

"This mission?"

The old man looked at the mission in Kaito's hand and showed a hesitant expression, advising, "If I'm not mistaken, you're only at the level of a special jonin right now. Blood Hand has been a jonin for many years, and his strength is formidable. You're a genius of our clan, there's no need to be stubborn. Change to another mission. There are several gray missions that are very suitable for you."

He regarded Kaito as young and energetic, wanting to forcibly take on a high-difficulty mission to prove himself.

Kaito knew that the old man was doing it for his own good, but he knew his own affairs, and this kindness was unacceptable. He shook his head firmly.

If it were in the later Konoha era, this kind of cross-level mission acceptance would not have happened. The village had a strict ranking system that was not easily crossed, but now it was the Warring States period, and there were not so many rules. As long as you think you can do it, you can take on this kind of pursuit mission.

The various families in the Warring States Period all adhered to this principle of survival of the fittest. If they couldn't even judge their own strength, they would die on the battlefield sooner or later. Such people could not become qualified ninjas.

Seeing that he could not persuade Kaito, the old man didn't say much, just sighed and thought to himself, hoping that Blood Hand had already escaped the Land of Fire, or was killed by ninjas of other clans, in short, he just hoped that Kaito wouldn't encounter him.

Kaito put this page of the mission into his arms and left the Mission Hall. It was already late morning, and the Uchiha clan was starting to get busy, and the atmosphere of preparing for war was getting stronger.

"Hmph, you guys just slowly fight. I'll solo in the jungle for thirty years, and then I'll come out with god-tier equipment and 1v5." With this thought in mind, he walked towards the outside of the clan, first having to rush to the northwest of the Land of Fire.

"Yo! What a coincidence, Kaito."

Just as he passed a corner, a figure stood with his arms crossed on the stone steps, greeting him.

Kaito took a closer look and found that it was Uchiha Madara. He couldn't help but show a strange expression and said, "Why are you here? Also, what are you doing standing on this unfinished stone step? Showing off?"

Madara coughed and said, "I went to your room to find you this morning, and your little maid said you went to take on a mission, so I came over here, and just happened to bump into you."

The corners of Kaito's mouth twitched slightly. This was called just happening to bump into him? It was obvious that he had seen him long ago and was deliberately waiting, even posing.

Kaito really didn't want to complain about this and asked, "What did you want to see me for?"

Madara still maintained his posture and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Why did you suddenly think of taking on a mission? Let me see the mission you took."

Kaito didn't hide it from him, took out the black mission paper and handed it over.

Uchiha Madara carefully read it, his face changed slightly, and then looked back at it, saying in a strange tone, "Are you tired of living? You actually took on a mission that even jonin may not be able to complete."

This time, Kaito was very disrespectful, and said lightly, "Mind your own business!"

Madara trembled with anger, but he couldn't do anything about it. He directly threw the mission at his face and said angrily, "I don't care if you die!"

Kaito easily caught the mission, put it in his arms and said, "Say what you have to say quickly, don't delay my mission."

Madara said with a dark face, "After I was left behind yesterday, Father and the others discussed the battle plan against the Hyuga clan in detail, preparing to let Uchiha Tou lead people to stop the Senju clan. However, the Senju clan is powerful, and we have lost Kazama and Tani, which is equivalent to fighting on two fronts. I want to hear your opinion, can we win this time?"

Kaito sighed and looked at him, helplessly saying, "You're here for this?"

Madara secretly clenched his fists. If eyes could kill, Kaito would have died more than ten times.

"We can win, goodbye." Kaito dropped these words, turned and left.

"You son of a b*tch..." Uchiha Madara completely exploded, his figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Kaito, reaching out his fist fiercely and saying, "If you want to fight, just say it directly, I'll accompany you."

Kaito thought about it, guessing that if he continued to play around, according to his personality, he might really have a brawl with himself, so he said, "I already said that we can win. What do you want to hear?"

Madara said, "If the Senju really want to intervene, I'm afraid that side can't withstand the pressure. The reason why we were able to fight two clans at the same time and hold on for two years last time was because of the geographical location of Kazama and Tani. In fact, we took most of our main force and fought the Senju. The Hyuga side only sent an elite force to rely on geography to intercept. Now that we have lost our geographical advantage, fighting two clans at the same time is not optimistic, okay? You actually want to send me away with a simple sentence of being able to win."

"You're wrong."

"What?"

"We're just fighting the Hyuga family, not fighting the Senju together. There's a difference."

Madara stared at him straight, with the look as if he was looking at an idiot.

Kaito read his eyes and explained, "Don't think that the people in the clan are all fools. If this battle is really fought with two families at the same time, they won't be stupid enough to rush up. They are all old veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield. Don't underestimate them. You have to distinguish one thing, Hyuga is Hyuga, Senju is Senju, they are two families."

Madara frowned and said, "You mean, the Senju may not come to support? But that's not right, the Hyuga has become their subsidiary clan, there's no reason not to help."

"Okay, let me put it another way. Suppose now the situation is reversed, you are the head of the Uchiha clan, and the Hyuga is our subsidiary clan, and then the Senju wants to fight the Hyuga, what would you do?"

"Nonsense, of course I would send troops to help the Hyuga..." Madara said without hesitation, suddenly, his body shook, as if he understood something, and said in a low voice, "No, in this case, I would wait for them to fight first, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for them to be exhausted before cleaning up the mess. No, the Hyuga has already become a vassal, and it wouldn't make sense if they didn't move, I would send people to lead troops to support, but I wouldn't send the main force, just putting on an act to rescue them."

Uchiha Madara gradually entered the state and suddenly became enlightened.

Kaito nodded and said, "That's right, the Hyuga clan's strength is not weak. This kind of thing of being a vassal clan, although it is embarrassing to say it, it is not a big problem as long as your own strength is strong enough. The Senju may not want their vassal clan to be as strong as the Hyuga is now. So, for them, whether the Uchiha weakens the Hyuga's strength, or they come to profit when the war is halfway through, is all beneficial to them, and they will think that they are in control of this war and can end it with their own strength at any time. Therefore, the pressure from the Senju will not be too great, at least not before the Hyuga is defeated."

Madara's eyes lit up and said, "In that case, we have a chance?"

"Yes, those high-level people in the clan are not stupid, especially their understanding of their old rival, the Senju. Don't worry, the only ones who will suffer in this war are the Hyuga. We are retaliating, the Senju don't want the Hyuga to be too strong, being calculated by the two major families at the same time, it won't lead to extermination, but losing a piece of meat is certain. I'm going to do a mission, goodbye."

After explaining it clearly to Madara, Kaito started to walk towards the outside of the clan.
