At the legion's headquarters, inside the commander's tent.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Rei," Kyosuke humbly apologized, fully aware of the importance of lowering his stance.

Now that the clan leader had started suppressing him openly and secretly, he needed to find a powerful patron. Uchiha Rei was the perfect candidate.

Killing Tajima man in public was Kyosuke's way of presenting a pledge of allegiance.

If not for this purpose, that unfortunate guy actually didn't deserve to die.

However, failing to assess the situation before jumping out to act was his own fault. His death was inevitable.

"Hahahaha."

Ignoring the fact that Kyosuke had killed soone in public, Uchiha Rei warmly pulled him aside to a seat.

It was clear that the commander was very satisfied with this pledge.

"My little hero, you've finally returned," Uchiha Rei said, half-jokingly winking at him with a teasing smile.

"Didn't I tell you? That clan leader is not soone with a magnanimous heart."

Hearing this, Kyosuke nodded and humbly responded, "Thanks to your guidance, my lord."

The two discussed internal clan affairs for a while. After so ti, the commander tentatively asked, "Do you need to assign you so subordinates?"

"No need," Kyosuke shook his head and refused.

"Forcing things won't bring good results. I'll prove everything with my actions."

"Good, as expected of the future pillar of our clan," Uchiha Rei praised, though inwardly he couldn't help but smirk.

Still too naive. The commander sighed but decided against openly rejecting Kyosuke's idea.

In truth, Rei was also worried that Kyosuke might not hold the line and create a major ss.

After all, cleaning up the aftermath would ultimately fall on him.

"Two and a half years of practice first," Uchiha Rei concluded, setting the terms for Kyosuke's new role.

With his command, forming a team for Kyosuke wouldn't have been a difficult task.

The fact that Kyosuke couldn't see this indicated he still had so growing to do.

As for Kyosuke's claim about proving himself, Rei wasn't entirely convinced. On the battlefield, individual power was often insignificant.

Even a clan leader couldn't singlehandedly withstand the smallest-scale legion-level jutsu.

"Here's what we'll do."

Considering Kyosuke's unique situation, Uchiha Rei granted him freedom of action.

"You decide which tasks to take, but your safety must be the top priority. I don't want to lose you, understand?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Such a talented youth would undoubtedly beco a valuable aide in the future.

Even if it ant keeping him idle for a few years, Uchiha Rei didn't want to risk sending Kyosuke to the front lines.

Unfortunately, his wish would not co true.

Why did Kyosuke refuse to recruit subordinates?

The reason was simple: he feared having too many followers would result in them stealing his kills.

A larger team ant facing greater dangers, making it harder to earn battle points.

There was also the awkward possibility of others snatching his credit.

After all, not everyone could resist the benefits brought by achievents.

Rather than deal with such headaches, it was better to stick with a three-person team.

This way, he could avoid drawing too much attention to his talents while quietly lurking in the shadows, waiting for the day he could soar to new heights.

When he beca strong enough, many things would no longer be up to others to decide.

Back at his assigned camp area, Kyosuke packed up briefly and quickly headed to the mission assignnt center.

For now, the three clans' failed plans ant they weren't making any significant moves.

The situation was relatively calm, with conflicts limited to small skirmishes.

This suited Kyosuke's plans perfectly.

Presenting the commander's written order, Kyosuke bypassed the usual task selection rules and began browsing through a thick stack of war commissions.

[Mission Na: Infiltrate the Yamanaka Clan's Territory to Investigate Enemy Strategy. Difficulty: S-Rank.]

"Damn, this is a pure suicide mission. Not doing it."

[Mission Na: Plundering the Akimichi Sprout. Difficulty: S-Rank.]

"Akimichi Mitsutoshi's daughter? That's still deep behind enemy lines. Outrageous."

[Mission Na: Ambush Supply Convoy. Difficulty: B-Rank.]

"Huh, this one seems decent."

Kyosuke grabbed the mission sheet and carefully read through its details.

According to intelligence from spies, the three clans were still relocating their population.

After suffering a previous loss, they were taking extra precautions to maintain secrecy, leaving no way to trace the exact relocation routes.

With no alternatives, the legion decided to target their supplies.

Wherever the clan mbers were going, they'd still need food and necessities. Tracing the supply routes might reveal useful clues.

'Ninjas transporting supplies would definitely use scroll seals to simplify logistics.'

'That ans the convoy won't be too large, likely guarded by elite escort units.'

Jonin were a vital strategic resource and wouldn't be deployed for simple escort tasks.

If sothing went wrong, the loss of a jonin couldn't be justified by any amount of supplies.

Thus, Kyosuke deduced that the convoy would likely be guarded by chunin, which fit his hunting criteria perfectly.

[Points: 4124]

By now, Kyosuke had invested heavily in his taijutsu.

Sharingan Body Flicker Technique Uchiha Kenjutsu were enough to deal with most chunin.

Next, he planned to save points to exchange for high-level jutsu capable of overwhelming jonin.

Shisui's advanced Body Flicker Technique had earned Kyosuke a reputation as a ninja prodigy.

However, he knew he wasn't the true innovator of such techniques.

Even if he rembered so hand seals, without understanding the corresponding chakra flow patterns, he couldn't recreate advanced jutsu.

For now, his only option was to use points to exchange for abilities.

Perhaps in the future, when he had ti to spare, he'd exchange for so jutsu knowledge. For now, his focus remained solely on battle.

Putting away the mission sheet, Kyosuke returned to his camp and inford his two subordinates.

"Get ready. We're leaving in ten minutes."

He then headed to the supply area, intending to leverage his rank to obtain so useful gear.

---

Inside the camp, the two subordinates exchanged glances, their thoughts diverging:

Uchiha Izumi: Lord Kyosuke truly lives up to his role as the future pillar of our clan. Such boldness is inspiring.

Uchiha Maya: Doesn't he need rest? No wonder the young clan leader holds him in high regard.

At first, both had minor complaints about their assignnt to Kyosuke.

They believed their skills were better suited for the main battlefield.

But after spending ti with him, especially witnessing his decisive show of force in the camp, they gradually realized that this boy had ambition and ability equal to the young clan leader himself.

Following him might just lead to a brighter future.

---

Ten minutes later

At the camp entrance, the three regrouped.

After distributing the gear he'd acquired, the team set out along the route detailed in the intelligence, heading toward the convoy's expected path.
