He was excited, finally able to contribute his own strength to Konoha in the war, to be a presence that could shield the residents of Konoha from wind and rain, even if only as a tender sapling.
What surprised him the most was that, for his graduation exam, not only did the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, personally attend, but even Sarutobi Nikkan, the "Spear of Judgment" who had made a name for himself in the recent battle, was there.
Furthermore, after he officially became a ninja and received his own ninja registration number, he was directly assigned to the squad of this Leaf's Twin Stars, the "Spear of Judgment."
After three months of getting along and learning, Shisui Uchiha was deeply impressed by his teacher's strength and vast knowledge.
This time, he had already lost count of how many missions he had been on.
In his memory, it seemed that he had never stopped being on missions since becoming a ninja.
Non-stop missions.
The targets were all Mist ninjas.
Gradually, he understood that Konoha was facing the siege of the four great Hidden Villages at the same time. Since the Mist ninjas had a slightly weaker impact, the village placed all the responsibility for dealing with the Mist ninjas on his teacher's shoulders.
One person resisting an entire village!
And he had successfully persisted for three months without bringing any impact to the other battlefields.
Although it wasn't entirely him alone, for example, there were his three subordinates, and some ninja squads whose strength was not obvious.
But in the final analysis, the only one who could truly deter the Mist ninjas was his teacher alone. Everyone else, including himself, was selectively ignored by him.
Such a glorious and lofty image had a very profound impact on him.
The missions were non-stop, and although it was very hard and tiring, Shisui enjoyed it. Not only because he was contributing strength to Konoha, but also because in these non-stop mission battles, his strength was rapidly improving, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All of this was because of this Nikkan-sensei, whose face had sharp lines.
"A rogue ninja seized the opportunity to escape from Konoha. The target is the Mist Village. We must deal with him before he connects with the Mist ninjas with the password." Kaze glanced at Shisui Uchiha, who had a kind of inexplicable worship on his face, and explained lightly.
"Damn it! The village has treated them well, why are there so many rogue ninjas! They're all ingrates!" Asuma gritted his teeth.
Following Kaze on missions for three months, Asuma had also made considerable progress.
The childishness on his face was gone, and he already possessed all the prerequisites to become an excellent ninja. All that was lacking was time and experience.
Yuuhi Kurenai next to him didn't speak, but the disgusted expression also showed her attitude.
These three, following him, through battles and teaching, their strength was already very close to Chunin.
The talents of the three were not weak. Perhaps only Yuuhi Kurenai was slightly inferior, but war was very grinding, and she was no longer as naive as when she had just graduated.
If conditions permitted, Kaze would apply for their promotion to Chunin.
Chunin are the most important force in the war.
Of course, approaching Chunin strength is equivalent to Chunin during the war.
Except for those experienced elite ninjas, the rest who are close to Chunin strength are promoted to Chunin, which has become the norm of war.
"Don't use your perspective to look at other ninjas. You were born in a clan, with the clan's resources and protection. Of course, you don't understand the hardships and efforts that ordinary people need to put in to become ninjas." Kaze didn't turn his head, just said in a tone of stating the facts.
Asuma and Yuuhi Kurenai were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
But Shisui Uchiha showed an expression of empathy.
Although he was born in the Uchiha clan, with the title of the Leaf's number one wealthy family ninja.
But in fact, he was not welcome in the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan members of the Kagami Uchiha lineage who were close to the Hokage were seen as heretics, even traitors, by other Uchiha ninjas.
He was able to grow to the present, relying not only on talent, but also on perseverance and continuous training.
The hardships involved are not enough for outsiders to know.
Now Kaze's words resonated with him.
Seeming to feel Shisui's mood, Kaze gently patted the shoulder of this disciple whom he had proactively requested to take in.
Shisui gave him a grateful look.
Being accepted as a disciple by Kaze was Shisui Uchiha's good fortune.
Suddenly.
Kaze's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Approaching, get ready."

Chapter 150: The Ninja Who Specializes in Killing His Own People
"To hell with the 'Will of Fire'! Konoha is just a tool in the hands of those large and small families. I work so hard, I give so much, but I haven't received any rewards. Even now, I'm just an insignificant Chunin, and I have to nod and bow when I meet those little ghosts from the Uchiha clan!
It's time to work hard for myself once! It's time to fight for myself once! The Mist ninjas promised that as long as I hand over the Leaf's material reserve situation, they will help me become a Jonin!
As long as I become a Jonin, the world is so big, where can't I go!"
Ito Daisuke muttered to himself, his face twisted and ferocious, his eyes resolute and ruthless.
He was the mission target of Kaze and others this time.
Originally, he was a Konoha ninja, responsible for the village's material management and part of the audit work, which was considered a relatively busy clerical worker, and he was lucky enough not to go to the battlefield.
But under his ordinary appearance, there was a heart unwilling to be ordinary.
He wanted to have stronger strength, he hoped to be admired and respected, he longed to be recognized.
So after receiving the secret letter from the Mist Village, he hesitated for a long time before decisively making a choice.
He ambushed and killed the companion who was guarding the supplies together, seized the list in his hand, and then cleverly borrowed the name to leave the village and head to the border of the Land of Fire.
When Konoha discovered it, it was already too late.
Now Ito Daisuke was not far from the border of the Land of Fire.
At the same time, the Mist Village must have sent ninjas to meet him.
As long as the Leaf's material reserve situation is understood, it can be roughly guessed how long the Leaf can last in this war.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the major Hidden Villages.
It can accurately grasp the scale of the war, whether it is a continuous small-scale collision or a large-scale suppression.
"Soon! It will be soon, the Mist ninjas have already sent people to meet me. As long as there are Mist ninja protection, even if there are Anbu pursuers, I am not afraid."
