The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 174 S-Class Top Secret Mission

The Land of Water.

Ryutama Port is a very large port in the Land of Water.

Every day, a large number of cargo ships pass through the area, bringing substantial foreign trade revenue to the Land of Water.

It took Yagura and his group about a week to finally return to the Land of Water.

Because their airship broke down, they weren't in a hurry to get back.

They returned on a merchant ship.

"Lord Mizukage, shall we head straight back to the village now?" Mei Terumi asked Yagura Karatachi.

This time, their top management was mobilized, which meant they were expecting a tough battle.

As it turns out, they only went there to make an appearance and yet they raised 1.5 billion.

Everyone was very satisfied with the result and naturally held Yagura Karatachi in high esteem.

Yagura drew a line on the ground, and a water mirror appeared.

Chiyo's clone slowly emerged from within, of course, it transformed into the form of Yagura Karatachi.

"I'll handle that over there," Qianyao said to Yagura.

Yagura nodded and waved to Mei:

"Give him one million in cash, otherwise it will be inconvenient to get things done."

Mei Terumi paused for a moment, realizing that this clone could exist for a long time, but she really didn't have any money on her.

So he quickly took out several stacks of money from the box and gave them to Qianyao's clone.

"Lord Mizukage."

Qianyao nodded slightly as he took the money, then a large amount of tailed beast chakra emanated from his body, and his figure quickly disappeared.

Whether it was Ao, Ken, or Mei Terumi, they all felt that this mirror clone was very strange, as if it were an independent personality.

But this is Yagura's secret technique, and no one knows exactly why it is like this.

Yagura only knew that Chiyo's clone had gone to pick someone up, but he wasn't sure who it was.

However, the Hidden Mist Village is currently a mess, and cleaning it up won't be a matter of a day or two.

"Let's go back to the village first. We made some money this time, which can help fill some of the gaps in our finances."

Yagura sighed, then left with his men.

……

Chiyo stayed in the town of the Land of Water to take care of Haku and Kimimaro's shadow clones. These past few days, she mainly explained some basic knowledge about the ninja world to the two of them.

In addition, I taught the two little ones to recognize characters and provided them with nutritional supplements.

Both Kimimaro and Shiro suffered from malnutrition to varying degrees.

After about ten days of dietary supplementation, my complexion became visibly rosy.

Qianyao has been supplementing Kimimaro and Haku's basic knowledge these past few days.

Start with the simplest chakra refining technique.

However, he did not allow the two to cultivate, as refining chakra requires a mixture of physical and mental energy.

When both of them are in poor health, practicing cultivation is tantamount to draining the pond to catch all the fish.

The glass plant in my house hasn't been able to cultivate since because of health issues.

The two children are very intelligent, and with no worries about food, drink, or safety, their learning progress is naturally very fast.

"...a product of the average mixing of energy and bodily energy."

Qianyao, who was giving a lecture in the room, stopped because one of his clones entered from outside the door.

Qianyao pointed to the clone that looked exactly like him and said, "It's the knowledge I learned a couple of days ago."

"I am a shadow clone, a clone that was created from this body."

"Now that he's back, even though I still have chakra in my body, my mission is complete, so I can cancel this technique."

"But the memories of my recent time with you will be inherited by him."

As Qian Yao spoke, he turned into smoke and disappeared with a "bang".

After a moment of stunned silence, the newly arrived clone processed all its recent memories.

"Alright, you've all recovered a bit more recently."

"Pack your things, we'll leave the Land of Water and return to the Uchiha clan."

Kimimaro and Haku smiled. After learning about the knowledge explained by Chiyo recently, they also wanted to see the vast world outside.

"Yes, Lord Qianyao."

……

Muye Village

Hokage Building.

"Kakashi, how's your eye recovery going?"

The Third Hokage asked with a kind expression.

Kakashi gently touched his eyes, though they looked no different from before.

But this eye isn't Obito's.

Given the current situation, it's already quite remarkable that the Third Hokage was able to get him a Sharingan.

He was naturally grateful: "Reporting to the Hokage, my condition is excellent, and my strength has been fully restored."

The Third Hokage was pleased with Kakashi's attitude; he now had too few skilled fighters at his disposal.

There are very few people who can do this for him now, and the others are not very suitable.

Kakashi is a must-go.

The Third Hokage took out a scroll:

"You've also seen the information about Uchiha Chiyo; the Mangekyou Sharingan's influence is extremely powerful."

"Given Uchiha's arrogant personality, there's a high chance he'll become uncontrollable in the future."

"This mission is crucial to the survival of Konoha."

"So it's an S-class top-secret mission. These are your teammates; you should know them, so I won't go into details."

The Third Hokage tapped on the table, and two people walked in.

"This mission is quite difficult, so you must do your best to complete it, understand?"

Kakashi's eyes swept over the two people standing in front of him; he didn't even mention Tenzo.

He was somewhat surprised when he saw the other person.

This person had a ponytail, a scar on the right side of his lip, and wore a black tight-fitting combat uniform with a green Jonin chainmail over it.

"Morning Senior!"

Kakashi was somewhat surprised that even the morning Jonin had been recalled.

Bai Yun used to be his father's subordinate. The two were both teacher and friend, and had a very close relationship.

However, after Hatake Shigeshige's death, Shirokumo has been on overseas missions since morning and has not returned to Konoha for many years.

If it weren't for the fact that Shirayuki always wore this outfit in the mornings many years ago, Kakashi would hardly have recognized him.

A slight smile appeared on Bai Yun's serious face:

"Kakashi, it's been a long time. You're leading the team this time, so don't let me down."

Kakashi replied solemnly, "Yes, Hayato-senpai."

"Lord Hokage, we're off then."

Kakashi greeted the Hokage and then left with Hakuun Hayato and Tenzo.

The Third Hokage was lost in thought, holding his pipe.

This time, the Uchiha clan turned the tables and directly promoted themselves to the rank of advisor elder based on their amazing battle record.

This put the already passive Third Hokage in an even more passive position.

However, he has already made several preparations.

Besides sending Jiraiya to find Tsunade, he also specially brought back Shirakumo Morning.

This mission is very important. In addition to needing a highly skilled expert who can stand alone, he also needs to guide Kakashi in the morning.

He certainly knew about Baiyun's relationship with Baiya earlier that day.

The Third Hokage took a deep drag on his pipe.

However, as long as people have ties, they will always have weaknesses.
