Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

After a period of intensive training, Uchiha Kagezuki decided to reward the three students he led - Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune.

As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Yingyue is not only powerful but also generous. He is a frequent customer of the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant and is even a VIP customer of the store.

After the training ended that day, Yingyue took the three of them to the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant, ready to reward them well.

The three students followed Yingyue, tired but full of anticipation.

Yingyue also relaxed for a rare moment and asked the waiter to serve a large amount of meat.

The aroma of barbecue filled the store. Asuma Sarutobi picked up a piece of barbecue with excitement and said happily: "Teacher Yingyue, thank you so much! I thought we were going to go back to eating simple bento!" He was always lively and outgoing, and he seemed particularly relaxed during this dinner.

Xihihong was relatively quiet, but still expressed her gratitude to Yingyue: "Teacher Yingyue, I have gained a lot from the training during this period. I am really happy to have the opportunity to get together today." Jingyin also ate barbecue with a slightly shy smile. Although she didn't say much, her expression revealed her inner joy.

Yingyue looked at them and felt relieved.

As a guiding jonin, Yingyue knows that strict training is the key to their growth, but occasional relaxation and rewards are equally important.

These children have taken a firm step on the road to becoming ninjas, but there are still more difficult challenges waiting for them in the future.

"You guys performed well," Yingyue said with a smile, "your efforts during this period have not been in vain. Your chakra control and basic ninjutsu have improved greatly. Today's dinner is a reward. I hope you can continue to work hard."

As the atmosphere of the dinner became more relaxed, Yingyue suddenly put down her chopsticks and her eyes became a little serious.

"However, starting tomorrow, our training will no longer be limited to Konoha Village." Yingyue said, attracting the attention of the three students. "It is already difficult to continue training you with missions within the village. Your growth requires real combat, so I will take you to perform missions outside the village."

Sarutobi Asuma swallowed the meat in his mouth, his eyes sparkling: "A mission outside the village? This means we will finally get to experience more actual combat, right?"

Uchiha Kagezuki nodded: "That's right. You already have a certain foundation, now it's time to face the real ninja world. The world outside Konoha Village is more dangerous than you think, but it can also train you better."

After hearing this, Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune also turned serious.

Although they were a little nervous, they were more looking forward to it.

Actual combat missions mean that they can truly verify their efforts these days and see whether they can apply the skills they have learned in training with ease when facing foreign enemies.

"Tomorrow morning, gather at the entrance of the village," Yingyue said slowly, "We will carry out a C-rank mission. Be prepared, the road ahead will only become more and more difficult."

The three of them nodded heavily, full of expectation and determination.

The next day, Uchiha Kagezuki led Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune to the east of the Land of Fire to carry out their first C-level mission outside the village - to clear out a bandit stronghold.

This mission is not only to maintain the law and order of the Fire Nation, but Yingyue also intends to take this opportunity to test the results of the training of the three students during this period.

There is a mountainous area to the east of the Land of Fire, which has long been a stronghold of bandits.

Most ordinary people in the ninja world live in hardship and with constant wars, many people choose to become bandits in order to survive.

Although some bandits were just trying to make ends meet, many others robbed equally poor civilians and even brutally murdered the weak.

This not only seriously affected the lives of local people, but also directly damaged the interests of the Lord of the Fire Nation. Therefore, similar tasks were often posted in Konoha's task hall.

The mission that Yingyue took on was to go to this mountain area and clean out the bandits who were endangering the local people.

Yingyue knew in his heart that although this was only a C-rank mission, it was already a big challenge for the three newly graduated Genin.

Although the bandits do not have the chakra ability of the ninja, they are numerous and some of their leaders were once ninjas and have a certain level of combat effectiveness.

Yingyue led three students all the way to the mission site. On the way, he analyzed the background and key points of the mission to the students.

"You need to remember," Yingyue said to the three as they marched, "Many ordinary people in the ninja world have a hard life. Many people become bandits not because of their own will, but because of the pressure of life. However, the target this time has completely lost his moral bottom line, robbing equally poor civilians and even attacking the weak. Such people must be eliminated."

After a long journey, Uchiha Kagezuki led Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune to the bandits' stronghold.

Uchiha Yingyue stood on a high place and used his powerful perception ability to conduct some reconnaissance.

Soon, he discovered that there was no chakra reaction among these bandits. Most of them were ordinary people, and there were no ninjas.

However, there are dozens of these bandits in number. If Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two were to fight them alone, it would be extremely difficult and their lives might even be in danger if they were not careful.

To Yingyue, these bandits were just enemies that could be easily destroyed.

But Yingyue did not intend to do it himself. Instead, he decided to take this opportunity to let his students discuss tactics in person and test their ability to cooperate through this actual combat.

If problems arise, it’s never too late to take action yourself.

Uchiha Yingyue stood aside, observing the performance of the three people calmly.

Yingyue gave them space to design tactics and let the three of them discuss freely.

After some discussion, the three of them quickly determined the battle plan:

Asuma Sarutobi was responsible for the main attack, using his wind escape and physical skills to directly attack the enemy formation.

Red Sunset provides illusion interference from a distance to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Shizune is responsible for dealing with enemies on the flanks, using her extraordinary strength and medical skills to play a role in the battle.

Uchiha Yingyue was satisfied with this tactic. After all, they were just newly graduated Genin, and it was not easy for them to come up with such a strategy.

As the battle began, Sarutobi Asuma was the first to rush into the group of bandits.

He used Professor Yingyue's chakra enchantment technique to add wind-style chakra to the kunai, making every blow seem sharp and powerful.

His attack went smoothly at first, but due to his lack of experience, he gradually became overwhelmed.

Xihi Hong on the side used her talent for illusion to interfere with the enemy remotely, weakening the bandits' fighting will and controlling the actions of some enemies.

However, the effect of illusions on low-level enemies like bandits is not long-lasting. After all, these ordinary people do not know how to deal with illusions, but their large numbers make Xi Ri Hong feel pressured.

Shizune showed off her super strength skills. Although she did not enter the main battlefield directly, she was responsible for repelling approaching enemies from the flank.

Every time she made a move, the bandits would feel a powerful force. Although her skills were not mature enough, they were enough to make the enemy feel threatened.

At this moment, a bandit quietly came up behind Asuma, raised his knife and prepared to launch a sneak attack.

Asuma was so focused on the battle ahead that he was completely unaware of the danger behind him.
