"Grandpa, I don't want to go! Please save me!" Uchiha Moni knew very well that if he went, he might not even come back alive...
Uchiha Emiki gritted his teeth, but before he could say a word, Uchiha Moni dropped to his knees and began begging the Octopus ANBU operative, "I beg you! I was blind and foolish—please spare me!"
What a complete waste...
Even within the Uchiha clan, there were people like this. But thinking about it, it made sense. If he had even a shred of courage or ability, he never would have been assigned to guard the gate in the first place!
Seeing this, Uchiha Emiki's eyes turned bloodshot with rage, and he struck Moni hard across the face. "You disgraceful wretch! As a descendant of the Uchiha clan, you would rather die standing than live on your knees!"
After being slapped, Uchiha Moni began sobbing and clung tightly to Uchiha Emiki's legs. "But Grandpa, I don't want to die..."
Hearing this, Uchiha Emiki couldn't help but feel his heart ache for his grandson. He ground his teeth and roared, "The Uchiha clan never makes mistakes! If that boy Aoi Ren wants to play games, then I will play along with him until the very end!"
With that, he pulled Moni close and smiled coldly. "It's alright. Grandpa will go with you to complete this mission. Let's see what other tricks Aoi Ren thinks he can pull!"
Hearing these words, Uchiha Moni finally calmed down a little...
The pride of being part of the Uchiha clan seemed to restore his confidence. That was right—his grandfather was standing behind him, and the entire Uchiha clan stood behind him.
What was there to be afraid of?
Having achieved what he came for, the Octopus ANBU operative turned to leave with a cold smile. "We will meet you just outside the village at dawn tomorrow. The full details of the mission will be explained to you then!"
The moment Uchiha Emiki backed down, the operative knew full well that this grandfather and grandson pair were no match for Aoi Ren. Even now, the way Aoi Ren had dealt with the former Mantis ANBU Squad Leader remained deeply etched in his memory...
As soon as the ANBU operative left, Uchiha Emiki began moving quickly through the clan compound. With his status and standing, gathering a group of capable and powerful ninja was no difficult task at all!
"Hmph, Aoi Ren—you will pay for this!" Uchiha Emiki was brimming with confidence. He simply could not believe that as a respected elder of the Uchiha clan, he could possibly lose to a three-year-old child!
Challenge Mission: Defeat Uchiha Clan Elder
Mission Details: In a direct confrontation, overpower Uchiha Emiki in every aspect—strength, influence, intelligence, and wisdom—and bring about his total and complete downfall.
Mission Reward: One Shadow-tier Treasure Chest, 1,000 points.
"Who would have thought that old man would even be worth a Shadow-tier chest?" Aoi Ren said with a dismissive smirk, as he spent time bonding with Tsunade. "That kind of good-for-nothing only gets his value from the status his family name brings him!"
Having completed so many missions by now, Aoi Ren had come to understand how the system worked. The rewards were directly tied to the difficulty level, though calculating that difficulty was far from simple—it depended on more than just the objective of the mission itself...
For example, take the investigation into the Abyssal Canyon he had done previously. If there hadn't been Sand Ninja forces involved, even if Aoi Ren had turned the entire canyon upside down and examined every corner, it probably wouldn't have been worth a Shadow-tier reward.
It was precisely because of the presence of those Sand Ninja that the rewards for that investigation had been so substantial...
As for Uchiha Emiki—Aoi Ren wasn't being arrogant when he said this—if you stripped away the name "Uchiha," even a mid-tier treasure chest would be overestimating his worth. And as for Uchiha Moni? He was even lower than the lowest of the low...
However, the real challenge here wasn't simply killing them. The difficulty lay in how to eliminate them while ensuring that no suspicion or blame could ever be traced back to him. Defecting from Konoha just to deal with these two men would be far too great a price to pay!
Everything had to be done perfectly—without the slightest flaw!
Aoi Ren couldn't help but notice that the way the Raccoon ANBU had been looking at him these past few days had become even more strange and suspicious than before... He really needed to find the Panda ANBU sometime soon and tell him to keep that man restrained properly with heavy iron chains!
