**Chapter 15: If You Don't Want to Lose to Anyone, You Must First Recognize Your Own Weakness**

  "Ignorance is not an obstacle to a ninja's survival; arrogance is..."

  After repeating Uchiha Mirai's words, Yuhi Zhenhong couldn't help but let his eyes light up.

  As a ninja who has experienced countless lives and deaths, he naturally knows the value of Uchiha Mirai's words for the future.

  Over the years, he had seen countless ninjas die because of their arrogance.

  Whether weak or strong, a ninja who can survive life and death has always been cautious and will not take things lightly even when facing a weak opponent.

  "No wonder he doesn't have any of the common character fws of the Uchiha cn... It turns out he has such awareness."

  The more he watched Uchiha Mirai, the more he liked him.

  Isn't this the perfect ninja tempte?

  Talent, strength, size... No matter from which aspect, there is nothing wrong with him.

  He often benefited a lot from what he said.

  An idea suddenly emerged in Yuhi Zhenhong's heart: Maybe the Uchiha cn... and even Konoha will transform in the hands of him!

  "Asuma, Kurenai, you must study hard in the future and strive to become excellent ninjas, got it?"

  "Yeah, I know!"

  Even Yūhi Kurenai was surprised by Uchiha Mirai's words, not to mention Sarutobi Asuma, who nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

  Seeing the admiration and joy in their eyes, Sarutobi Asuma felt extremely aggrieved.

  The feeling of being overshadowed by someone every day is simply more uncomfortable than eating mud.

  Hateful!

  When will he be able to counterattack Uchiha Mirai?

  ...

  In the dense forest of the Kingdom of Fire, four figures were traveling quickly.

  Looking at the receding scenery around them, Yūhi Kurenai and Sarutobi Asuma both had expressions of excitement on their faces.

  This is the first time they have left the vilge since their birth, and they are still ninjas.

  Although there is no difference between these trees and the trees in the vilge, they still feel very strange.

  Uchiha Mirai silently adjusted his breathing to keep himself at his peak at all times.

  Towards evening, the red sunset halted.

  "Let's take a rest first and camp here today."

  After hearing Yuhi Zhenhong's arrangement, Sarutobi Asuma sat down on the ground.

  His legs trembled slightly after being on the road for so long.

  If it weren't for the fear of being outdone by Uchiha Mirai in front of Yūhi Kurenai, he might not have been able to hold on.

  The same goes for Yūhi Kurenai.

  Only Uchiha Mirai, after the team stopped, immediately began to skillfully y traps around the camp.

  His physique has increased several times, but his stamina is not comparable to that of Sarutobi Asuma and Yūhi Kurenai.

  Soon, Uchiha Mirai set a trap.

  Seeing this, Yuhi Zhenhong couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.

  When he first went out on a mission, he had been far behind his disciple.

  "Mirai, your traps are set well."

  Seeing Uchiha Mirai returning, Yuhi Zhenhong took the initiative to speak.

  "Hehehe... Father, you don't know yet, right? Uchiha Mirai always sets up traps at home~"

  Yūhi Kurenai expined with some pride.

  "..."

  Looking at Yūhi Kurenai's appearance, Yuhi Zhenhong felt a little depressed.

  He felt that his daughter was moving farther away from him step by step.

  He took out a few soldiers' grain pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

  The sour and bitter taste made Yuhi Zhenhong frown slightly.

  It's just as unpatable as ever!

  "Father, the food Uchiha Mirai cooks will be very delicious. After the mission is over, you can try it when you have a chance. It will definitely make your jaw drop."

  Seeing Yuhi Zhenhong's expression, Yūhi Kurenai said immediately.

  "I know."

  Yuhi Zhenhong touched Yūhi Kurenai's head helplessly.

  The kid couldn't stop talking about Uchiha Mirai.

  "Mirai, we will take turns keeping vigil tonight, is that okay?"

  Yuhi Zhenhong didn't want to hear any more of her nagging, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

  "Sure."

  "I'll keep watch until half the night."

  Uchiha Mirai held the long knife in his arms, found a tree trunk of suitable height, and sat down on it.

  "Vigil?"

  "I can do that too."

  Sarutobi Asuma didn't want to be outdone by Uchiha Mirai, so he took the initiative to request a vigil.

  "Asuma, your body has almost reached its limit, right?"

  "If you don't get a good rest, you're likely to have problems on the road tomorrow."

  Yuhi Zhenhong opened his mouth to persuade.

  He knew what Asuma Sarutobi wanted to show in front of him and his daughter, but it was really unnecessary.

  If you compete with someone like Uchiha Mirai, aren't you just asking for trouble?

  If you encounter an unexpected situation on the road tomorrow, not having enough stamina and energy could lead to the worst outcome.

  "Zhenhong Sensei, whatever Uchiha Mirai can do, I can do the same!"

  Sarutobi Asuma insisted.

  Yuhi Zhenhong frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Uchiha Mirai's voice rang out: "If you don't want to lose to anyone, you must first recognize your own weakness."

  Sarutobi Asuma clenched his fists when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

  "We are on a mission, not pying a ninja game." Uchiha Mirai snorted coldly, "Your boring self-esteem will make you a burden to your companions."

  "Do you want to kill us all?"

  "I..."

  Hearing Uchiha Mirai's question, Sarutobi Asuma's face turned red, but he couldn't find any reason to refute.

  "If you continue to treat the mission as child's py, you can voluntarily quit the team after this mission is over."

  While the instructor Jōnin did not express his opinion, he, as the team leader, had the absolute right to speak.

  If a ninja disobeys orders, it is a serious matter.

  Looking at Uchiha Mirai's indifferent gaze, Sarutobi Asuma lowered his head.

  As the son of Hokage, he naturally knew what would happen if he disobeyed orders during a mission.

  Moreover, continuing to argue would only make everyone think that he was even worse.

  "Yes... I'm sorry, I was wrong."

  "Rest!"

  Uchiha Mirai looked back at the dense forest in the distance, and the camp became quiet again.

  Yūhi Kurenai secretly gnced at Uchiha Mirai sitting in the tree, with little stars in her eyes.

  To make someone like Sarutobi Asuma obey...

  So handsome!

  She like him so much!

  Yuhi Zhenhong also gave up his original pn to keep vigil with Uchiha Mirai secretly and fell asleep peacefully.

  Although Uchiha Mirai was still young, he felt surprisingly reliable.
