But, it had nothing to do with him.
He had clearly made up his mind that he would be a little closer to Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama in the future.
As for Ishikawa Itsuki?
Heh heh.
In his eyes, this guy was already a dead man.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly spoke.
"Alright, it's settled then."
"When I'm not on the team, Ishikawa Itsuki will be the captain."
"Tomorrow morning at 8 AM, gather at the village gate; we're officially heading to the Hidden Mist Battlefield."
"You all go back and prepare yourselves well."
"..."
Chapter 17: Eve of Departure for the Battlefield, Shisui's Extreme Worry
The next day, early morning.
The sky had just begun to lighten, and at the gates of Konoha, many ninja had already gathered.
Most of them had eyes full of longing, clearly young cannon fodder who had just graduated, while only those who had truly been to the battlefield or came from clans showed varying degrees of tension.
Time slowly passed.
Kudo Shin, along with Uchiha Jin and the other two, arrived beside the Jonin in charge, Miyamoto Yukie.
"Lady Miyamoto, B Squad, Team Seven, reporting!"
"Hmm, wait over there."
Miyamoto Yukie nodded.
She simply nodded, then dismissed Kudo Shin and the others.
Once the group reached a corner, Kudo Shin spoke with a serious tone.
"Now, I'll give a brief introduction."
"Currently, Kirigakure and our Konoha haven't actually declared war."
"Other battlefields temporarily can't spare manpower, so we need to temporarily go to the front line, which is to guard the old site of Whirlpool Country."
"This time, Lady Miyamoto will lead our group."
"You don't need to understand anything else; just remember that on the battlefield, any order given by a superior must be completed, no matter what."
"What we need to do now is wait!"
"Once the team is fully assembled and the supply escort team arrives, we'll officially set off."
Nara Kazama and Uchiha Jin both nodded solemnly.
They were both very clear about battlefield discipline.
The most important thing on the battlefield was to obey superior orders!
A Shinobi is a weapon!
But, unfortunately.
Ishikawa Itsuki didn't think that way; he immediately said with a firm tone.
"Everyone, don't worry."
"With me, Ishikawa Itsuki, one of the top three in the class, I'll definitely protect all of you."
"What you need to do is believe in me!"
Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama, hearing this, twitched their mouths intensely.
Their team leader was still here, and you're already itching to take over?
Where do you put Kudo Shin?
Originally, the two already looked down on Ishikawa Itsuki a bit, and after his current behavior, they really didn't know what to say.
They had seen foolish people.
But they had never seen anyone so foolish!
Such people often died the fastest on the battlefield.
It was precisely because of this that the two secretly made up their minds to stay far away from this guy.
Kudo Shin, needless to say, was even more so.
The look in his eyes when he gazed at Ishikawa Itsuki was incredibly complex.
However.
He didn't speak.
Having experienced war, he knew very well that such people died the fastest on the battlefield, so there was no need to bother with them.
Just then, everyone's vision blurred.
When everyone reacted, they saw an Uchiha Clan member, wearing a katana at his waist and an outfit embroidered with a flaming fan, appear before them.
It was Uchiha Shisui!
"You are, Lord Shisui?"
"Greetings, Lord Shisui."
"..."
Everyone spoke up one after another.
Yes.
Although Uchiha Shisui had not yet earned the title of Shisui of the Body Flicker, he had already gained a certain reputation within Konoha due to his frequent appearances on the battlefield.
Unlike them, ordinary ninja and clan failures, Shisui was a genius of the Uchiha Clan.
Shisui smiled and nodded: "I have some private business with Jin."
"Captain, I'll be right back." Uchiha Jin frowned, but still spoke to Kudo Shin.
Kudo Shin, hearing this, naturally nodded.
Immediately after.
Uchiha Jin and Shisui walked directly to a nearby spot.
Kudo Shin and Nara Kazama watched Shisui and Jin's retreating figures, their eyes filled with an inexplicable meaning.
Yes.
Although they knew Jin was from the Uchiha, they truly hadn't expected him to have such good personal relations with Shisui, the Uchiha genius.
Judging by this.
Their teammate truly wasn't simple!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After Uchiha Jin and Shisui arrived at a nearby spot, Shisui solemnly handed him a mesh undershirt.
"I forgot yesterday, so I'm making it up to you today."
"The battlefield is extremely dangerous, and this is your first time, so as your older brother, I naturally have to help you fill in any gaps."
"This is a chainmail undershirt, mixed with a small amount of extraterrestrial meteorite iron and tempered steel."
"Hurry up and put it on, let me see."
Uchiha Jin: "..."
Looking at the mesh outfit in front of him, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
As a grown man, he really didn't want to wear that thing, and he was also confident that with his own abilities, no one could harm him.
But, he had no choice!
Looking at Shisui's worried face in front of him, his heart was truly a mix of emotions.
He really hadn't expected that after so many years of transmigration, he could still feel such deep care.
Shisui was too good to him!
This made him even more conflicted, as the Uchiha's troubles were truly best left unmentioned!
