Opening: Minato became my brother

Yue Le stared at the scroll in front of him intently, not missing any tiny details, the direction of the meridians, the handprints of the technique... deeply imprinted them in his mind. After confirming that everything was correct, he carefully began to imitate and practice.

At the same time, he mobilized a small but stable stream of chakra to flow quietly within his body.

Faced with this new and unfamiliar technique, Yue Le showed unusual caution, but Yue Le's speed in learning new things was still amazing.

During his first attempt, Yue Le's movements seemed a bit awkward and clumsy, and the seal-making process was not smooth, but fortunately, he finally completed it successfully. At this moment, he could clearly feel that the chakra flow in his body was in the right direction.

When the whole ritual was completed, Yue Le seemed to experience a wonderful feeling of lightness, as if he was about to fly into the air.

Then, a faint fluorescent light suddenly emerged from his shoulders, as if trying to break free from the restraints of the body, twisting and squeezing outwards continuously.

The fluorescent light was like a dream, emitting a charming glow that made people fall in love with it, but only Yue Le could see it, as it was his spiritual body.

At this moment, Yue Le suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. His brows were furrowed and there were a few crystal clear beads of sweat on his forehead. The faint fluorescence emerging from his body was extending outwards continuously.

Mustering her courage, Yue Le tried hard.

boo——

A soft sound suddenly reached Yue Le's ears, with a hint of ethereality. Then, a translucent spirit appeared above Yue Le without any warning.

Yue Le slowly opened her eyes, then raised her head and looked upwards. What came into her sight was the expressionless, calm soul face.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, "Success..."

But just as he relaxed, almost at the same moment, the chakra in Yue Le's body suddenly produced a slight fluctuation. The next moment, the soul body suddenly disappeared without a trace like lightning and returned to Yue Le's body.

However, faced with this sudden change, Yue Le's expression did not change at all.

Feeling that his soul seemed to be a little weak, Yue Le wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.

After all, at this time he had only begun to comprehend the mystery of the spiritualization technique, so naturally he was unable to perfectly control this magical power.

But for Yue Le, he still has enough time to gradually become familiar with and master this secret technique.

...........

Time flies, the years pass by, and the days pass by quietly.

Yue Le has been studying hard and tirelessly during this period. Not only that, he also has to deal with various difficult and dangerous tasks, and follow Orochimaru closely to participate in a variety of experiments.

Orochimaru is very interested in his body, and Yue Le also hopes to speed up his pace of becoming stronger.

The war came to an end, and both villages suffered varying degrees of trauma.

But there are always winners and losers. As the defeated party, Iwagakure Village had to pay a certain amount of compensation to Konoha. The loser needs to bear his own responsibilities.

It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen has now truly stood up.

While Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village were recuperating, other villages did not take advantage of the situation, or rather, they did not have the energy to cause trouble for the two villages at that time.

It seemed as if there was an invisible hand hidden, quietly pushing the entire ninja world into chaos. Other villages would also engage in fighting for some inexplicable reasons, but the scale of the fighting was not as fierce as that between Konoha and Iwagakure.

Yue Le gradually became busy, and the members of his team also changed. Now, only Xuan Mao was still with him, while the others were transferred elsewhere.

One day, Yue Le, who was undergoing special training at the Root, suddenly received a message and then hurried to the Hokage Building.

......

Hokage Building, Hokage Office,

"Grandpa Hiruzen. Any mission?"

"Well, Yuele is here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly in his office chair, holding a cigarette in his right hand and slowly bringing it to his mouth. After taking a deep breath, he narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his fingers lightly, flicked the ash onto the ground, and then exhaled a puff of thick green smoke.

Coincidentally, Yue Le walked into the office at this time. Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze fell on him, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Now, with the end of the war, Konoha's strength has once again been revealed in the ninja world, and the tasks in Konoha Village have once again piled up, but the number of ninjas that can be used is relatively small.

But because of this, the income of many ninjas has indeed increased significantly. This may also be a happy trouble. There are too many tasks to complete...

Yue Le and other new generation ninjas have grown into excellent ninjas capable of standing on their own, and have become a thriving tree in Konoha.

Thinking back to the slightly timid little boy who hid behind Tsunade many years ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

Time flies, the saplings have grown up gradually, and new saplings have been planted in the soil...

Exhaling the smoke from his mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at the three ninjas who entered the room later and nodded at them.

Then, he turned his gaze back to Yuele and said, "Yuele, here is an S-level mission for you to complete. The people standing behind you are your teammates for this operation. What do you think?"

Yue Le turned her head and glanced behind her, and found that Xuan Mao was also among them.

As for the other two people, Yue Le did not know them, but from their unique Sharingan, he could tell that they were from the Uchiha family.

Faced with such an arrangement, Xuan Mao was unusually calm. After all, she and Yue Le had experienced countless missions of all sizes together during this period of time, and this time the mission was just a little more difficult.

But the other two were a little surprised at this time.

Uchiha Yakudo and Uchiha Yakuro are two brothers, Yakudo is the elder brother and Yakuro is the younger brother.

Uchiha Yaole opened his mouth and was about to explain that with their abilities, they would never be able to accomplish this difficult mission, but a hand reached out and grabbed him tightly.

He turned his head and looked at his brother Uchiha Bing with suspicion, only to see the other party shaking his head slightly at him.

Although Uchiha Yakuto was somewhat surprised that the Hokage had assigned them this kind of task, his calm and introverted personality allowed him to calm down quickly.

He didn't believe that the Hokage would so rashly send them to undertake an S-rank mission - this was tantamount to sending them to their deaths!

However, now that things have come to this, what exactly is the reason? After thinking about it, it seems that only one explanation can make sense, the problem must be with the person in front of him named Yue Le.

Staring at Yue Le, the double magatama kept flowing in his eyes and his gaze became deep. Is this ninja, who looks smaller than them, really so powerful?

"Grandpa Hiruzen, what exactly is the mission this time?" Yue Le seemed calm and didn't have too many concerns.

To him, it was just another mission, and even though the level was S, he was not without experience. But... could these two people really be trusted?

He looked at the two Uchiha family members in front of him, whom he had never met before, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

However, he did not dwell on it too much, thinking that at worst he could just take Black Cat with him.

His calm expression and composed tone made the two Uchiha brothers standing behind him look a little strange.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen did not find Yuele's performance strange. You know, Yuele had always been operating under the code name "Wind Bird" when he was in the Root. Whether he led a team or performed a mission alone, he had a brilliant record of completing S-level missions. Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of confidence in Yuele.

"Your mission this time is to hunt down the traitor ninja - Kikuchi Shunsuke. If you cannot capture him alive, you can kill him on the spot without mercy." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and handed the mission scroll in his hand to Yue Le.

When Uchiha Yakuto heard the name Kikuchi Shunsuke, he was obviously stunned. He had heard of this person. Although he had only met him once during a mission, he also had some understanding of his strength.

At this time, Yao Doulian's voice changed slightly, "Hokage-sama, I remember that Shunsuke Kikuchi went to the Land of Lightning to carry out a mission a month ago and there has been no news since then."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Uchiha Yakuto and nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Yes, a month ago, Kikuchi Shunsuke led a team to the Land of Lightning to carry out a mission, but during the mission, he killed his companions, betrayed the village, and defected."

After a pause, he continued, "Two teams have already taken on this mission, but no one has returned so far, and no information has been sent back. The preliminary judgment is that they have all been killed."

Uchiha Yaodou and Yaole's faces instantly turned a little ugly, and they muttered to themselves, is such a mission really suitable for the two of us to participate in?

There was no way. Although the two brothers were geniuses of this generation of the Uchiha clan, they had opened two magatama at a young age and their own strength had reached the level of elite Chunin, but they were only S-level. You know, they had not even carried out A-level missions many times, and they were all completed with the leadership of the family's Jonin.

At this moment, Uchiha Yaole almost said the words of refusal directly.

Yue Le on the side also frowned slightly. He had no problem with carrying out the mission itself, but the key was that he was not familiar with these two people, nor did he understand their strength, so he could not ensure their personal safety.

Doing so would actually add more risks to the operation.

After a moment of silence, Yue Le slowly closed the mission scroll in his hand, cast his eyes on Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said in a firm tone: "I accept this mission, but before that, I need more detailed and accurate information."

After saying that, Yue Le turned around and looked at the two Uchiha brothers. He did not ask for Xuan Mao's opinion, because he knew that Xuan Mao would never refuse any task issued by the village.

Then, Yue Le looked at the two Uchiha brothers and continued: "If you two think that this mission is beyond your ability, you can choose to withdraw from the team. This will benefit everyone."

"Do you look down on us?!" When Uchiha Yaole heard this, he was immediately furious. He glared at Yuele with wide eyes and responded without showing any weakness.

Yue Le stopped talking. After all, in his opinion, what he said was for their own good. If these two people really chose to withdraw, it might be more beneficial for him to complete the task.

It was a pity that because Yue Le had never come into contact with the Uchiha clan, he did not understand their arrogance and stubbornness, so he was shocked to hear Yue Le's words.

Uchiha Yakuto stopped his angry brother and turned his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi stared at them silently without speaking.

After a moment's hesitation, he chose to accept it.

"Hokage, we two brothers have accepted this mission, but I have a request. I hope to see the captain's strength."

Uchiha Yakuto nodded to Yue Le, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

As a genius of the Uchiha clan, he certainly knew the difficulties the clan was facing, and he also knew that the village leaders were already full of opinions about the Uchiha clan. Therefore, many tasks could not be declined at will, and even if the captain said that he was allowed to withdraw, the decision was still in the hands of the Hokage and others.

"Oh?"

Yue Le smiled slightly, looking at Uchiha Yao Le, who rekindled his fighting spirit after hearing his brother's words, with a smile in his eyes. When not fighting, Yue Le's pupils were like clear rubies.

"I agreed."

Looking back at the silent Sarutobi Hiruzen, Yue Le nodded in agreement. Similarly, he also wanted to see if these two people were qualified to carry out S-level missions with him. If not, it would be better for them to just quit.

Even though he already had some understanding of what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.

Sarutobi nodded slightly, indicating that he was not surprised that Uchiha Yakuto accepted the mission. After all, it was not easy for the Uchiha clan to truly return to the village and integrate into it again.

"Your mission this time is actually not that difficult. Although it is indeed difficult for you to complete this mission, you just need to assist Yue Le. He has experience in completing S-level missions several times, so you can trust him."

Hearing this, the two Uchiha brothers were shocked and cast strange looks at Yue Le. They didn't expect that Yue Le had completed several S-level tasks independently, and it was very likely that he had completed them before he became a Jonin.

Sarutobi was not interested in the battle between Yuele and the other two. He knew Yuele's strength. This kind of crushing battle was too boring. It would be better for him to protect Konoha and make himself happy.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and glanced at the crystal ball on the table. Which one should he look at today... ahem, which one should he protect...

"Is he really that amazing..."

Uchiha Yaole looked at Yuele with surprise and confusion in his eyes. Yuele was even younger than him, but he had already carried out several S-level missions, while he...

The team was formed, and Yue Le didn't say anything more. He would follow Sarutobi Hiruzen's wishes and look after the two brothers for a while, but his focus was still on completing the mission. If he really tried to show off his abilities because of his lack of strength, he would deserve to die.

Looking at Yuele, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly, "Kikuchi Shunsuke has now fled to the Rain Country, where civil strife continues. There are many defected ninjas from other ninja villages there. This mission must be completed and everyone must know the fate of a defector ninja!"

"I understand." Yue Le nodded, said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen, turned around and left the Hokage building with the three of them.
