Before the remaining Kirigakure could react, they continued their assault, wiping out all of Kirigakure in the blink of an eye.
"Next location, let's go!"
After cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the spoils, Shisui spoke softly.
Chapter 45: Aya's Past, Shisui's Fury
Time slowly passed.
As their squad continued to act, their coordination improved, and their efficiency in completing missions and eliminating targets increased.
In just three days, they had swept through fifty outposts.
They had killed nine Jonin alone, not to mention countless Chunin and Genin.
Late at night.
Deep in the dense forest, on an unnamed small mountain.
In an inconspicuous hollow, inside a small cave.
By the small bonfire, Uchiha Jin and the other three, after eating some simple food, stared blankly at the fire.
"I now declare that the adaptive mission is over."
"After these three days, everyone's coordination has gotten better and better."
"When we go back this time, we will have to take on high-difficulty missions."
Uchiha Shisui said with a smile.
These past few days had felt like a vacation to him!
Yes.
Although he was only a Chunin for now, his actual combat power had long surpassed that of an ordinary Jonin.
The missions he usually took on were either unimaginably complex or involved famous experts from various villages.
These past few days' missions had indeed posed no difficulty for him.
But, unfortunately.
In response to Shisui's words, the others remained silent.
There was no need to mention Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama; they just wanted to survive the war peacefully. Even Hyuga Aya frowned slightly, showing no sign of happiness.
Shisui: "..."
He was utterly bewildered.
He had never encountered such a situation before!
This was not his fault, as a traditional Uchiha.
His previous teammates were either simple-minded Uchiha clansmen who would only shout 'uchiha glory' and charge in.
Even when teaming up with Konoha Ninja, he only encountered truly elite individuals who had been groomed.
The things those people considered were different from Uchiha Jin and his companions!
"Hey, what's going on?" Shisui couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you guys excited at all?"
Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes.
"What's there to be excited about? I just want to lie here until the war ends."
Nara Kazama quickly nodded.
He couldn't help but yawn, also appearing uninterested.
Yes.
Even though he and Uchiha Jin were colluding, it was only out of necessity for self-preservation.
Essentially, he was a traditional Nara.
He was uninterested in anything; unless absolutely necessary, he just wanted to lazily sleep at home.
Even Hyuga Aya couldn't help but speak.
"I actually hope this war drags on for as long as possible."
"Preferably, it never ends."
"That way, I won't have to go back to the village."
Her voice was soft.
Her eyes were filled with sadness, and her tone was incredibly bitter.
Clearly.
After three days of interaction, she had come to understand these three teammates a little.
There was also a certain level of trust between them.
Especially after just escaping the fighting and finally relaxing, she naturally opened up a little.
Shisui: "..."
His mouth twitched.
He still didn't quite understand the thoughts of these three teammates.
The Nara Clan, they all had a lazy demeanor.
Uchiha Jin was also acceptable.
This clan junior of his, if not for the war, he would have remained hidden.
Only Hyuga Aya.
Why was she like this too?
However, seeing the sorrow in Hyuga Aya's eyes made Shisui frown. Could there be some hidden reason here?
After pondering for a moment, he spoke first.
"Aya, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Feel free to speak up. We are comrades now, and if there's anything we can help with, we don't mind offering assistance."
"Especially Kazama!"
"He's from the Nara Clan, and their family has the best brains."
"He can definitely figure out a solution."
Shisui was not stupid!
As an Uchiha, he naturally knew the situation of the Hyuga Clan.
Her problem was most likely the Caged Bird.
However.
Although this problem might seem unsolvable, it doesn't mean the specific issue cannot be approached from a different angle.
After all, the Hyuga Clan, those who know, know!
Perhaps they were oppressive and arrogant towards the branch family within their clan, but when facing the entire Konoha, they immediately cowered like quails.
Therefore.
No matter what Hyuga Aya had encountered, as long as there was an appropriate method, solving it was not truly difficult.
Nara Kazama hesitated slightly.
He was genuinely too lazy to expend brain cells on matters that didn't concern him.
However.
Hyuga Aya was indeed good.
Although she was marked with the Caged Bird and was only from a branch family.
Honestly speaking.
There was no value in trying to win her over!
But considering their acquaintance over the past two days, as long as it didn't affect his own plans, helping her a little was not important.
Thinking of this, he spoke with a smile.
"Hmm, yes!"
"Aya, if you trust me, then you might as well tell me."
"As long as I can help, I will do my best!"
