Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Magic Meat Sheep

A person suddenly joined the two-person mission squad, and it was even an outsider from another village. In theory, this seriously violated the actions outlined in the Ninja Manual.

Just as Kakashi was about to say something, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted him: "Kakashi, learn to be flexible. When Minami agreed, she was already part of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, Minami is a sensory ninja. You must understand how much a sensory ninja can assist with a mission, learn that, Kakashi."

As Uchiha Yoichi said this, Uzumaki Minami lowered her head, feeling her heart fluttering with mixed emotions.

In the ninja world, when someone becomes part of your family, it essentially means they have married and changed their surname, for example, Uzumaki Minami changing to Uchiha Minami.

However, Uchiha Yoichi had no such intentions; he wanted to make Uzumaki Minami something like a household servant, and then ask the Second Elder to train her. In the future, she would definitely have a place in his squad.

Uzumaki Minami agreed to Uchiha Yoichi's invitation also because her situation in Grass Village wasn't very good.

After her abilities were exposed, the Grass Village completely viewed her as a moving blood pack. Fortunately, Uzumaki Minami hadn't exposed the fact that she could use sealing techniques; otherwise, Grass Village would have stripped her of all her value.

"Minami, what is the range of your sensory ability?"

"At most only three to four kilometers, this ability I only awakened two months ago, it's not very well-practiced...."

Uzumaki Minami said softly, feeling embarrassed. She didn't quite understand the world of ninjas, but when she told Akutagawa of Grass Village, he had disdainfully remarked 'so useless' or something like that.

So Uzumaki Minami thought that her perception ability wasn't developed well.

"Three, three to four kilometers?"

Hearing this, Kakashi was stunned behind his mask. This range was already very powerful. He remembered his father saying that the Hyuga's Byakugan could typically only observe one to two kilometers.

And Uzumaki Minami had just awakened this ability. From what she said, it seemed like it might become even stronger in the future.

This ability would make anyone who heard it envious. The Uzumaki Race's bloodline ability may not be combat-focused, but it is terrifyingly strong.

Thinking about this, Kakashi thought Uchiha Yoichi had probably heard about the Uzumaki Race's abilities within his clan, which was why he immediately wanted to take Minami upon seeing her.

Though this technically violated Konoha's regulations, it at least increased the mission's success rate by double.

"The next mission is here, an outpost of the Hidden Rock Ninja. According to the alliance agreement revised after the Second Ninja War, each ninja village can only build outposts within their own countries, but this time the Hidden Rock Ninja established one in the Land of Grass...."

Uchiha Yoichi introduced the mission they were going to execute, mainly for Uzumaki Minami to hear.

As for breaking the rules?

He just needed to complete the mission; don't bind him with rules. If Uchiha Yoichi didn't need battle experience, he wouldn't bother taking missions for such little reward.

However, missions did have a legal plunder aspect for him. All money obtained outside of mission stipulations could be handed over to Konoha.

"Simply put, this mission is to remind the Hidden Rock Ninja of the alliance agreement and remove their outpost in the Land of Grass. Generally, there's only a Chunin squad in an outpost, not likely a Jonin, but to be safe..."

Uchiha Yoichi said this, turning to Uzumaki Minami, who was listening attentively, and asked her: "Minami, can you perceive the amount of chakra in the target?"

"I should be able to, but I need to get a bit closer. At the edge of my range, perception becomes very vague...."

"Okay, when the time comes, use me as an example, to perceive the number of enemy ninjas and their chakra amount."

Uchiha Yoichi also assigned a task to Uzumaki Minami. A large amount of chakra doesn't necessarily signify strength, but with little chakra, nine times out of ten, they are weak.

They wouldn't be able to perform much ninjutsu, not to mention probing before the battle.

"Rest for one night, we'll set out tomorrow. I'm heading out for a while, you two don't need to bother with me."

Uchiha Yoichi said this, then prepared to walk outside. Kakashi wanted to ask about Uchiha Yoichi's intentions and follow him.

But after receiving a look, he abandoned the idea.

Leaving the resting area, Uchiha Yoichi ran south for about six or seven kilometers, where he had seen a small depression when passing by during the day, and stopped there.

"This should be far enough. Hopefully, the first summon won't be so unlucky....."

Uchiha Yoichi intended to try out this random summon ability. If he didn't use this refreshed ability at least once, he'd feel somewhat unwilling.

"From the otherworld, come forth!"

Uchiha Yoichi shouted loudly, as was mandated by the Superpower Roulette, which always managed to concoct some new trick.

Upon finishing his words, a huge summoning array appeared in front of him. With a "bang" and a booming sound, the summoning array emitted a burst of purple light and dense smoke.

As the summoning array appeared, Uchiha Yoichi immediately retreated. However, he suddenly noticed there were hints about the summoned item on the Superpower Roulette panel, so he opened it to look.

[Goat from the Elemental Forest]: Once tried to rely on its sturdy horns to fight off those who wanted to hunt them, but found enlisting the help of the horns completely useless in defending itself, ultimately relying on the shelter of the elemental spirits for survival.

(The meat is extremely tender and delicious, the goats benefit from living in a magic-element-dense forest, and consuming their meat can rapidly restore strength.)

[Note: The summoned object is recorded and can be summoned repeatedly or resummoned anew.]

"This, this description is... did I summon a skewer of mutton?"

Uchiha Yoichi's lips twitched. After the smoke dispersed, he laid eyes on the goat he had just summoned. Its appearance was indeed beautiful, a prime specimen among goats, its fleece as white as snowflakes, but according to the description, it seemed to have no combat abilities.

Zzz!

A flash of lightning roared around Uchiha Yoichi, instantly positioning him next to the goat, holding it down with one hand.

The goat, suddenly attacked, panicked, kicking its hooves frantically in an attempt to escape, yet its meager strength was nothing before Uchiha Yoichi.

After struggling for quite a while, it still couldn't break free from just one hand, leading Uchiha Yoichi to confirm that this goat from the Elemental Forest indeed had no combat strength whatsoever.

"First time summoning and I got a meat goat, should I say I'm lucky....."

Summoning a not particularly strong exotic beast was also doable; if he had summoned something too powerful, it would be troublesome, given the low probability of summoning something precisely suitable for him.

Uchiha Yoichi applied a bit of force with his hand, swiftly ending the goat's life, then stored it into a storage scroll, planning to later taste this exceptionally delicious goat meat.
