Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 56 Border Mission

"Clang clang clang!!!" The kunai flashed past, leaving afterimages, and sparks flew as they collided in mid-air.

In the Uchiha training ground, Shingetsu Seiun and his two companions gripped kunai tightly, forming a circle around each other and launching continuous attacks towards the center.

No matter how they tried, they couldn't make the tall figure in the black training clothes panic in the slightest. The two kunai in her hands flew up and down, defending against the three people's attacks flawlessly.

Ms. Misaka is angry again!

From the increasingly heavy blows of their opponents, the group could clearly sense the changes in their emotions.

As the battle intensified, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai gradually showed signs of fatigue. Seeing this, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly drew a circle with her body, deflecting the three attacks with kunai while kicking out alternately with both feet.

"Bang bang!!" Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were kicked away as expected. When it was Shinzuki Seiun's turn, the latter frowned slightly.

As the attack drew closer, Shenyue Xingyun could even see the few beads adorning his sandals, and he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

Again?

He discovered that Mikoto Uchiha had a bad habit: she particularly liked to kick people. The three of them had taken quite a few kicks from each other during this period.

After being kicked for so long, Shenyue Xingyun's rebellious spirit was also aroused.

What, you think you're the only one with long legs?

With a sharp tap of her toes on the ground, and as dirt flew up, Shen Yue Xingyun sprang to the side and backward in an instant, while at the same time, her hands formed a pincer shape and pressed down sharply.

"Snap!" A crisp sound.

With his palms stacked together, he blocked the seemingly inevitable kick. Shingetsu Seiun's figure leaped up again before landing. Looking up, he saw Uchiha Mikoto's surprised gaze.

"Cough cough~" At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma stood up, clutching his chest.

"Teacher, could you please be a little gentler next time?"

"I feel like I'm going to throw up my breakfast."

Suppressing her doubts, Uchiha Mikoto said calmly, "Not a bad idea."

"I'll kick you twice next time."

Sarutobi Asuma: "..."

"Alright, everyone come over here." Mikoto Uchiha dusted off her hands. "There's a new mission."

Sarutobi Asuma: "A new mission?"

"Is this time about unclogging the drains, or catching a pet?"

"Neither," Mikoto Uchiha said. "This is a C-rank mission, which requires us to leave the village."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma immediately perked up.

"Really? Ms. Misaka, we've been given permission to do advanced missions?"

Looking at the excited Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Mikoto nodded calmly.

"Yes, but there's nothing to be happy about. C-level missions can be dangerous. Your combat experience is still too weak; you must be careful on this mission."

"Go back and get ready. We're leaving tomorrow. I'll tell you the details along the way."

……

The next day, at the main gate of Konoha Village.

Sarutobi Asuma looked at Shingetsu Seiun, who had arrived late, with displeasure.

"Why are you so late? Hong and I have been waiting for you."

"It should be exactly the agreed time, right?" Shingetsu Seiun glanced at her watch and found that the time was just right.

Sarutobi Asuma: "But we arrived a long time ago, and even Misaka-sensei was waiting for you."

Shenyue Xingyun said, "I'm sorry, this is my first mission, so I need to prepare a lot of things. I also forgot to bring my sword, so I went back to get one."

Actually, it was because his girlfriends knew he was going out of the village to do a mission, and they lined up with their love number tags to say goodbye, which is why he was late.

Before Sarutobi Asuma could say anything more, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly spoke up: "That's enough."

"Now that everyone's here, let's go." Mikoto Uchiha said, distributing several pre-prepared packages to the group before leading the three of them off.

"Mikoto-sensei, you still haven't told us what the mission is this time?" As the group began to walk through the woods, Kurenai asked Mikoto Uchiha beside her.

Mikoto Uchiha said, "The location of this mission is on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning."

"What we need to do is deliver the supplies in our backpacks to the troops stationed at the front, and at the same time pass on messages."

"So, all of you need to be on your guard. This mission is not like the low-level missions of the past; there is a possibility of encountering danger."

Sarutobi Asuma asked, puzzled, "Why would we be assigned tasks like transporting supplies and delivering messages?"

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at him.

"The higher-ups have decided to give young ninjas more training, so some high-level missions are now being assigned to recent graduates."

"I see." Sarutobi Asuma looked confident upon hearing this. "That's good. Doing low-level missions all the time won't give me any chance to earn merit."

"It'll also let the old man see that I'm not as useless as he says."

Mikoto Uchiha remained silent, her expression complex.

Only young genin would be so eager to make a name for themselves. She knew very well that the cruelty of war was far beyond what a group of newly graduated genin could imagine.

There is no large-scale war in the ninja world yet, but forces are already stirring on the border. From the increasingly tense atmosphere within the clan, she even feels that the shadow of war has begun to gather.

The high-level officials are likely doing this in preparation for a possible war.

All ninjas, even newly graduated genin, had to quickly integrate into the war; no one could avoid it.

As the group moved further and further away from the village, Mikoto Uchiha issued an order.

"Set up a defensive formation."

Upon hearing this, the group quickly changed positions.

Sarutobi Asuma led the way, responsible for quick reactions and reconnaissance; Shinzuki Seiun and Yuhi Kurenai flanked him from the rear, each observing one side.

Originally, Sarutobi Asuma, as the captain, did not need to stand at the front. Of the three, he and Shinzuki Seiun were good at physical skills and quick reactions, and could both serve as forwards.

However, since Shingetsu Seiun had mastered the Palm Healing Technique and also played a medical support role in the team, Sarutobi Asuma volunteered to take on the most dangerous forward position.

Kurenai Yuhi is a fixed support character.

As for Uchiha Mikoto, as the team leader, she theoretically doesn't need to undertake missions. She only intervenes when the situation changes and the team encounters danger.

Traveling can be very tedious.

As time went on, Sarutobi Asuma, who had initially been full of enthusiasm, gradually began to find it boring.

His position gradually shifted back, getting closer and closer to Kurenai Yuhi.

"Asuma, you've strayed from your place," Kurenai Yuhi reminded her companion.

"It's alright, we're still far from the front lines," Asuma said nonchalantly.

Kurenai Yuhi glanced back at Mikoto Uchiha and, seeing that the latter didn't stop him, let him be.

Actually, she also wanted to chat.

The two began chatting about what the front lines were like, and what novel things existed in the world beyond the Land of Fire. They talked enthusiastically for a while, but Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai eventually grew bored, and their journey ended in silence. They would rest when they got tired and camp out for the night.

As they got closer to the border, the group grew increasingly nervous.

Without needing to be reminded, Sarutobi Asuma had already returned to his position, keeping a close watch on his surroundings.

Gradually, as the scenery before them changed, the ever-vigilant Shingetsu Nebula sensed something was amiss.

It was a little too quiet around.
