"That's all for today."
In the cavern with a large built-in training ground, after retracting the tailed beast Chakra back into her body, Lin wiped the sweat from her face and said.
"As expected of Lin, at this rate, it won't be long before you grasp the secret to perfectly controlling the tailed beast."
Seeing Lin mastering the knack of being a perfect Jinchuriki, Obito felt a sense of pride.
"It's all thanks to your help, Obito. I couldn't have done it alone."
Lin smiled slightly, not taking all the credit.
Controlling a tailed beast is not a simple matter.
The hardships involved are beyond what ordinary people can endure.
If she couldn't perfectly control the tailed beast within her, one day, the tailed beast's power would eventually go berserk for various reasons.
If possible, Lin hoped to open her heart to the seven-tailed beast inside her and beco friends.
As of now, she was getting close to achieving that goal.
"Next..."
Before Lin could finish speaking, soone approached.
It was Uzumaki Fumiko.
She was Obito's superior and also the person in charge of Lin's perfect Jinchuriki training.
She was a Jonin from the Land of Demons, proficient in Sealing Techniques, with deep knowledge of Barrier Jutsu, and also so dical abilities.
"Obito, there's a mission for you from above."
Fumiko just ca in from the outside, holding a scroll that recorded the contents of the mission.
"A mission?"
Obito tilted his head.
Over the past two years, he could count on one hand the number of missions he perford, mostly accompanying Lin in mastering tailed beast control techniques.
Among the Uchiha Ninja in the Land of Demons, his Donjutsu was one of the best, able to single-handedly suppress a tailed beast's rampage with the Mangekyo Sharingan in a short ti.
In conjunction with the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Techniques, he could suppress the tailed beast for a long ti.
Fumiko didn't say anything, instead throwing the mission scroll to Obito, letting him read it himself.
Obito caught the scroll, opened it, and Lin curiously leaned over to take a look.
After seeing the content, both Obito and Lin opened their mouths in surprise.
It was a top-secret escort mission.
Obito was to serve as a guard mber for Chiba Ichihi and safely escort her to Konoha Village.
The mission was graded as A, with a reward of five hundred thousand ryo. If any extrely difficult dangers were encountered during the escort, it could be upgraded to an S-rank difficult mission.
"Why is Ichihi being sent to Konoha? What is Hakushi-sensei thinking?"
As Hakushi's student, who could be said to have inherited Hakushi's teachings entirely, whether in dical Ninjutsu or the enhanced Spirit Transformation Jutsu, Hakushi taught Lin without reservation.
Based on this trust, Lin had visited Hakushi's family more than once and was quite friendly with Hakushi's children.
She couldn't understand Hakushi's decision to send Ichihi to Konoha.
It all seed too strange.
It was unlikely due to a lack of educational capability that Ichihi was sent to Konoha.
The ninja education system in the Land of Demons, reford based on the Konoha Ninja School system, was in many ways more complete than the Konoha Ninja School.
The training process was more humane and diversified than Konoha's.
Whether it was ninja skills or other knowledge, everything could be learned more comprehensively here.
Theoretically, going to Konoha wouldn't yield much profound knowledge.
Konoha wouldn't possibly allow an outsider to view their Sealing Book.
And if it was for planting a spy in Konoha, that wasn't necessary either.
Lin knew Hakushi always intended to train Ichihi as the future leader of the Land of Demons' military, sending such a talent to Konoha as a spy, especially his own daughter, was really not worthwhile, just wasting Ichihi's talent.
"I heard it's a decision Ichihi made herself, passing all the special exams Hakushi-sama gave her, so he agreed to her rather bold request. Simply put, she wants to broaden her horizons."
Fumiko shared so of the information she had.
"I still find it hard to understand, but that child is always doing sothing amazing."
Among Hakushi's three children, Lin always found Ichihi the most unconventional.
Ever since she was young, she displayed an unusual level of intelligence, reportedly mastering and applying all of the school's knowledge in a very short ti at the Ninja School.
The only thing she lacked was practical experience.
Assigning her to the Konoha Ninja School was a 'practical assessnt' exam Ichihi set up for herself.
A genius' thinking is always filled with oddities.
"But if I go, what about Lin here?"
Obito expressed his concern.
"Don't worry about that, Lin's perfect Jinchuriki training is almost concluded. Even if sothing unexpected happens, I can handle it completely on my side. Besides, Konoha is your hotown, isn't it? Don't you want to go back and have a look?"
Fumiko countered.
Obito was montarily speechless; there were indeed things he hadn't finished handling in Konoha.
One being his grandmother's ashes, still buried in Konoha.
In the past, his grandmother was his most treasured family mber, and her generosity was a guiding light for him.
"I understand, but is my identity covered?"
Obito worried about this point.
Although Ichihi's surna did not follow her mother's, the na Chiba, to be honest, was too provocative for Konoha.
