White Fang took a deep breath: "No, it's neither, the knife is only a tool to carry out the beliefs of the person who holds the knife - what is the first person to raise the knife against?" Is it a beast that invades our homeland, a natural disaster, a weak person who trembles under violence, or a fellow human being who is exactly the same? ”

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that the first person with a knife must be facing a crisis that cannot carry out his beliefs, so he raises his sword to resist - whether this belief is to protect, to kill, to glorify, or even to oppress others - whoever cannot carry out his own beliefs, will raise his knife and carry it out!"

"So ......" After saying this, White Fang looked at Rigo seriously and said what he really thought: "Rigo, if you don't want to accept 'that mission', you must resist, and I will support you." ”

Hearing White Fang mention [that mission], Rigo fell into a long silence.

White Fang sighed and stopped talking.

Makoto and Fugaku glanced at each other, pretending not to hear anything, busy with the work at hand.

####分割####

Nothing happened all the way.

Standing at the door of Konoha again, Makoto let out a slight sigh.

He didn't carry the big coffin behind his back - as early as he entered the territory of the Fire Country, there were shadows who took White Fang, Rigo and Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost away, and judging from the fact that White Fang didn't open the coffin to check the survival of the puffer ghost for several days, they obviously had the means to confirm the survival of the puffer ghost - but this has nothing to do with Makoto.

Although I still want to sigh, not only engineering ability, but also biochemical technology and medical skills in the ninja world seem to have developed quite well. For example, the first clone, the reincarnation of the filthy soil, the art of eliminating the face, and the recontinuation of the severed limb.

Hmm, reincarnation of the defiled earth may not fall within the scope of medical skills? Or should this art be relegated to the realm of [souls]?

Makoto smacked his lips, feeling that he had been sleeping in the open for nearly 20 days, and his mouth was about to fade out.

The reason why there is this kind of sigh is because among the dark people who came to answer White Fang and Rigo, there is a gloomy guy like Orochimaru. And this guy also specially used his snake-like golden vertical pupils to look at Makoto a few times - that kind of damp feeling, Makoto still remembers.

"Makoto, let's go to the clan to restore your life?" Back in Konoha, Fugaku also looked very happy, he turned his head and invited Cheng.

Makoto nodded, giving him a friendly smile. Although the two knew each other about this mission, Fugaku expressed goodwill in many ways along the way, which may be the meaning of his father Tomoo Uchiha, and reciprocated the favor, Makoto naturally got a lot closer to them: "Okay, but after the clan is restored, do you need to go to the Hokage's office?" ”

Knowing that the other party debuted during the special period of World War II in the ninja world, he has not received an official mission after the war, so he has this question. Fu Yue smiled and led the way: "If you don't know, the tasks of the clan are all declared to the village by the family on a regular basis, so we don't need to trouble the three generations of adults." ”

Cheng followed: "In this way, don't other families have opinions?" ”

Entering the gate, the familiar atmosphere of prosperity came to his face, Fu Yue seemed to enjoy it very much, squinted his eyes and looked around, while casually answering: "Several big families are like this, that is, from the beginning of the third generation, the new family does not have this privilege." ”

This may involve the issue of the task bounty commission, but Makoto nodded and didn't ask again.

Soon, the two of them walked through the streets of Konoha to the clan street where the Uchiha clan emblem was printed everywhere.

"This way." Fugaku is very familiar with the road.

Cheng nodded back to the clansmen who greeted him from time to time, and since the special forbearance assessment, Makoto's reputation in the clan suddenly surpassed Zhishui, and he officially became the most famous genius of this generation. The fierce struggle between the Great Elder and the Patriarch involved in this seems to be gradually coming to an end.

After this mission, his position will be further consolidated - killing three upper ninjas alone, although there is a reason why the other party was caught off guard, but the kind of explosive killing ability that Makoto showed in close combat must not be ignored.

What's more, prestige is the essence of genius in a sense - what can other ninjas, even if they are geniuses, except for the kind of genius who has truly grown into a peerless powerhouse?

How much benefit can a so-called genius bring to the family? Let's do it this way, if Makoto grows into an elite shinobi one day, and with his genius talent, he can play against more than two teams of shinobi alone-what can be done? In terms of combat effectiveness and task execution efficiency, no matter how exaggerated it is, a genius can only be equivalent to the level of 4 teams full of endurance. Although this is already very terrifying, compared to the giants of the Manchu blood ninja like Uchiha, the upper ninja of the 4th and 5th teams is not a great combat power.

So what is the value of genius?

Fame, the fame of the entire ninja world, a dazzling genius, can even eclipse a medium ninja clan, the direct consequence of the genius's prestige shaking the ninja world is to bring a steady stream of task commissions for the family - specifically name and ask for Uchiha's task commission, the benefits brought by this are far from being comparable to several teams of ninja.

Of course, this refers to [genius], and if it's like White Fang, a peerless powerhouse who has reached the level where the ninja world defaults to "you can directly abandon the task when you meet White Fang", it will be a different matter.

To put it bluntly, a steady stream of geniuses is the best sign for wealthy families to maintain their prestige.

Gossip is not mentioned.

The two turned left and right, and finally arrived at the family's task processing center, but they were told that they needed to follow the confidentiality regulations and should report to the Uchiha Tomoo who was responsible for handling the family's A-level and above confidential tasks alone.

Makoto looked at him a little speechlessly.

Fu Yue smiled awkwardly: "Ahaha, probably...... That's exactly what it looks like. ”

So the two came to Tomoo again.

The quiet and spacious mansion is the Great Elder's Mansion. As the Great Elder's most valued confidant, Tomoo Uchiha spends most of his time "at work" here, taking care of some simple affairs in place of the Great Elder.

"In other words, both the shark muscle and the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost have been successfully caught?"

After listening to Fuyue's brief report, Tomoo asked.

"Yes...... This time it can be said that the task has been successfully completed. Cheng replied, and Fu Yue next to him looked bowed his head and didn't dare to say much at all.

Tomoo nodded in satisfaction, picked up the pen and wrote something on the task warrant of the two, and after a moment, he put down the pen, pinched the paper and shook it gently.

"Alright, this will be handed over by the family at that time - the bounty will be distributed after the regular family meeting at the end of the month."

The second half of the sentence was naturally for Cheng to hear, Cheng nodded, signaled to understand, and then prepared to leave.
