[Name: Uchiha Shisui]
[Life Mission: Uchiha and Konoha]
[Main Goal: Eliminate the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha and integrate Uchiha into Konoha]
[Mission Progress: 46.8%]
The death of Shimura Danzo directly made Shisui's life mission progress the highest among all disciples, not only reaching a settlement node but also very close to the next settlement.
However, Mokgetsu recalled the things Shimura Danzo did in the original story and found it quite reasonable.
Even before his death, Shimura Danzo had to remind him to be cautious of the Uchiha, emphasizing that the Uchiha were inherently evil, illustrating his attitude towards the Uchiha clearly.
Mokgetsu looked at the settlement rewards that popped up.
[Disciple Uchiha Shisui's strength enhancement promotes the reform of the Police Squad, taking a small step toward eliminating the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha, Progress Reward obtained—Chakra +1600, Self-selected Drawing Scroll Fragment·S+ (Master Level), Yin Attribute Ninjutsu Mastery Scroll]
The rewards are mostly similar to those at the forty percent settlement for other disciples, except for the different attribute of the Ninjutsu Mastery Scroll, the other rewards are exactly the same.
However, the awkward part is that last time, three disciples coincidentally gathered three fragments, whereas this time, only Shisui settled, rendering the fragments temporarily useless.
Mokgetsu closed the rewards information and opened Obito's life mission.
[Name: Uchiha Obito]
[Life Mission: It's not the person who becomes Hokage that earns everyone's recognition, but the one who earns everyone's recognition can become Hokage]
[Main Goal: Become the Hokage of Konoha Village]
[Mission Progress: 44.5%]
Obito's life mission progress isn't as exaggerated as Shisui's, but it's not bad either, considering the high difficulty of the life mission, making any progress isn't easy.

Upon receiving Nagato's notification, Yahiko hurriedly made his way to the Rain Village.
"Could something have happened, why call me over suddenly?" Yahiko felt a bit puzzled.
Due to the complexity of the matter, Nagato didn't specify the reason when contacting the Ninja Sect, only urging Yahiko to come quickly.
But seeing the peaceful Rain Village, Yahiko thought it wasn't anything serious.
Upon learning Yahiko had arrived, Nagato quickly located him with his sensing ability.
"Nagato, where's Sosuke-sensei, why did you suddenly want me here?" Yahiko asked when he saw only Nagato.
"Sensei is handling the affairs of the Rain Village," Nagato replied.
Yahiko looked at Nagato confusedly, wasn't he invited to watch the Chunin Examination, why help in handling the Rain Village's affairs, is the Rain Village so busy that even its own people can't manage?
Nagato didn't waste words, took Yahiko to a deserted place, and explained: "Hanzo is dead, now Sosuke-sensei is the real leader of the Rain Village."
Yahiko froze, looking at Nagato in disbelief.
How did things escalate, Nagato and Sosuke managed to take over the whole Rain Village in such a short time?
Moreover, the Rain Village didn't seem to have experienced a coup, everything looked quite peaceful.
"Actually, this whole invitation was a conspiracy, a conspiracy of Shimura Danzo..." Nagato started explaining the whole situation to Yahiko.
"I see, no wonder Sosuke-sensei only brought you along," Yahiko sighed.
In such a dangerous situation, insufficient strength not only won't help Sosuke but would also become a burden to him.
"Yahiko, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have persuaded you that night, letting you miss the last chance to meet with Hanzo," Nagato said with a guilty face.
They estimated the trip to Rain Village would be risky, but Mokgetsu solved the enemies easily.
Bringing Yahiko along, there wasn't even a need for Mokgetsu to act, Nagato himself could protect Yahiko well.
"It's okay, you were considering my safety, no need to apologize," Yahiko smiled and shook his head.
"Besides, I now have the answer in my heart."
It's indeed a pity not to have communicated with Hanzo, but after understanding the reasons behind Hanzo's death and Sosuke becoming the leader of the Rain Village, Yahiko's previous doubts were cleared.
"At least, in his final moments, he truly was the Demigod Hanzo for the Land of Rain," Yahiko showed a relieved expression.
Hanzo wasn't someone who always prioritized the peace of the Land of Rain first, he had wavered and had selfish motives.
But Hanzo's choices in life made Yahiko believe he was worthy of the title Demigod, his previous admiration for Hanzo wasn't misplaced.
Nagato showed a look of agreement, this time he indeed had changed his view about Hanzo a lot.
Then Nagato took Yahiko to take a look at Hanzo's portrait.
Yahiko felt Hanzo wasn't like someone who died in battle but seemed like he passed away peacefully.
Because Hanzo's expression had no signs of resentment or hatred, instead, he looked somewhat relaxed and joyful?
Knowing the Ninja Sect and Rain Village were going to deepen their interactions, Yahiko decisively signed up with Sosuke.
Now that the Land of Rain has regained peace, the focus ahead is on strengthening, wanting to work at the Rain Village to let more Rain Ninja understand the true Ninja Sect.
...
Land of Fire, Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was handling documents when he suddenly felt dry in the mouth.
His eyes continued to fix on the documents while his right hand placed the pen down and reached for the teacup on the desk.
Crash!
For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't hold the teacup properly, causing it to drop and shatter on the ground, spilling tea everywhere.
Sarutobi Hiruzen set the documents down, took a deep breath, and touched his chest.
"I haven't been overworked lately, why did this happen suddenly?" Sarutobi Hiruzen thought with confusion as a pang of unease crossed his heart just a moment ago.
