The Hidden Mist Village is relatively weak, but it has trained many assassination experts, so it is the perfect place to guard against enemy assassinations.

Only by working with peers can we better understand some of their methods and take better precautions.

The Hidden Mist Village also invested heavily in participating in this unprecedented ninja coalition.

Not only did the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi come out in person, but Chojuro, the rising star in the village who was most favored by his compatriots, also followed by her.

A group of elite soldiers and generals protected the most powerful daimyo in the ninja world as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Although Uchiha Sasuke's role is also one of the most important guards, he is not a supporting role like those outside. Instead, he has a role similar to that of a shadow dancer. He sits in a carriage that is exactly the same as the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, making it difficult for the attacking enemies to tell which one is the target.

"I thought there was something important going on, but I didn't expect you to come back just to act as a bodyguard."

Although protecting the daimyo, especially the daimyo of the Land of Fire, is a task that even a jonin who has been in the army for decades may not be able to encounter.

This kind of super high-level commission, if it were in peacetime, would be a lucrative trip.

But when the Fourth Ninja War was about to begin, the daimyo was the best target for attack.

The missions to protect the Daimyo will no longer be as dangerous as before, the danger of the missions and the mission level are completely mismatched.

In order to confuse the enemy, Uchiha Sasuke did not use any disguise methods such as transformation techniques that would easily leave chakra fluctuations, but instead used traditional makeup and disguise techniques to make himself more similar to the daimyo.

He was wearing an elegant robe, a crown and a sash on his head, and he was sitting in the carriage with his head down in deep thought. If you looked closely from a close distance, it would be difficult to tell that the person in the carriage was not the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.

The convoy is moving towards its destination in an orderly manner. With the protection of many strong men, everyone feels at ease and is not too worried that the enemy will harm these nobles.

After all, the protagonists of the war are still ninjas, and secular forces are just incidental targets before the war and will not be the enemy's primary targets.

In general, in wars between ninjas, unless there is a direct conflict of interest, they will basically not attack the daimyo forces directly.

The sound of wheels could be heard regularly from outside the carriage, and from time to time a small leader would shout to be on high alert. It was relatively quiet inside the carriage, with only Uchiha Sasuke alone thinking quietly about other things.

At this moment, the curtain of the left carriage was drawn open, and the face of the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, who had been hiding outside all the way, appeared in front of Sasuke.

"Hey, little guy, do you want to stop and rest for a while? We are still far from our destination. At this speed, we will definitely not get there today. We might as well rest for a while."

Looking at the smiling face of the Mizukage, Uchiha Sasuke frowned unconsciously.

"Miyazaki-sama, although you are accompanying the emperor to conceal our presence, shouldn't we also strengthen our forces with the daimyo? It would be best if you go and protect him personally. As for Chojuro..."

Although he was not very serious about this mission, Sasuke still did not want his mission record to be stained by a major mission failure.

"Don't worry about Chojuro. Although I lost to you before, I learned from my mistakes and became a rare master now."

Mei Terumi replied nonchalantly.

"Really?"

Sasuke didn't want to say too much about the ninjas from other ninja villages. It was not good to care about them too often, and questioning the strength of friendly forces was a big taboo.

Moreover, the captain of the daimyo's guard is nominally the long-haired woman in front of him. In theory, all action arrangements must be under the command of Mei Terumi, including Uchiha Sasuke who came to assist.

In addition, this Fifth Mizukage with emerald green eyes and long brown curly hair should be in his early thirties, about the same age as his teacher Hatake Kakashi, but the light in his eyes when he looked at him was somewhat annoying.

As if she had noticed Uchiha Sasuke's discomfort, Mei Terumi gathered her hair that was covering her eyes and smiled brightly.

"I originally thought it was Hatake Kakashi who was coming, but I didn't expect it to be you. But, little brother, you look very handsome, and I also like you..."

If she hadn't known through certain channels that Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi had rushed back from the Land of Lightning, Mei Terumi would not have come to protect any daimyo at this busy time.

As if sensing Mei Terumi's ill intentions, Uchiha Sasuke coldly withdrew his gaze.

"If necessary, everything will be arranged by Mizukage-sama."

"Really..."

Halfway through her words, feeling Uchiha Sasuke's attitude of keeping people at a distance, Terumi Mei also laughed dryly and lowered the curtains of the carriage.

"call……"

Uchiha Sasuke, who seemed a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of this female Mizukage who was a size older than him, breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s really tiring.”

The mission itself was actually pretty easy, but dealing with the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was exhausting.

"I wonder if Kakashi-sensei already knew the situation here, which is why he would rather stay in the village than come here."

How sensitive is the female Mizukage who is worried about getting married? Just look at how the expression of Mei Terumi changes drastically as if she has become a different person whenever the subordinates of the Hidden Mist Village inadvertently mention similar topics.

Uchiha Sasuke, who possesses the Sharingan, naturally has much better eyesight than ordinary people. He also has good perception and can see everything around him, including every move of Mei Terumi.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was looking forward to a battle with a powerful enemy, could only stay here and wait silently, which was indeed a torment.

For a long time, Uchiha Sasuke spent his time in the Anbu, and was able to adapt to that kind of life of swords and blood. Although he had been away from the Anbu for some time, after the reunion of Team 7, Hatake Kakashi took Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke to complete some tasks, and at least covered up the dark atmosphere and uncomfortable things in the past. But deep down, Uchiha Sasuke is not a person who likes to stay still.

After moving forward for a while, the convoy arrived at a place surrounded by mountains and water, and stopped, as if intending to set up camp.

"Is my time alone over?"

Uchiha Sasuke felt a headache when he thought about having to face Mei Terumi who was approaching him in a somewhat aggressive manner. He had no experience and was not very good at dealing with such situations.

It was not uncommon for a person to carry out missions alone in the past, but this was the first time that the test was on talents other than ninjutsu.
