Naruto: Accidentally Unlocking a Fantasy Era

Chapter 76 The Outpost of the Land of Hot Springs

"Hidden Mist".

Fugaku Uchiha is reading the latest battle reports.

The area around Tangren Village was originally mostly filled with battles between various cults and Tangren Village itself.

The records of battles with Kirigakure were very rare in the past, but each time they were able to deliver a precise and heavy blow to them.

Moreover, most of those who sacrificed their lives were members of the Uchiha clan.

For example, the parents of a genius ninja researcher died here.

However, in the past two days, there have been signs of a large number of ninjas from Kirigakure being mobilized.

The battle report they received in Konoha stated that a team of Uchiha had been completely wiped out when they encountered a team of Jonin from Kirigakure.

The other party's whereabouts have not yet been found.

"Fugaku, we must find this group of ninjas now, otherwise we will be in a very passive position."

The eighth generation also had a somber expression.

The Village of Hot Springs is not the Land of Fire. If they manage to get around to the back, they could deliver a heavy blow at a crucial moment.

The stronghold here contains not only the forces of Konoha, but also most of the forces of the Uchiha clan.

Furthermore, the elder also hoped that Fugaku Uchiha could take control of this place.

As long as Fugaku Uchiha demonstrates the strength of an elite Jonin, he will naturally be selected.

Jonin need to pass an exam, while elite Jonin only need battle merits.

"Now let's go and accept the mission."

Fugaku nodded, indicating that he understood.

However, he has not yet been rated as an elite Jonin, and only the Uchiha clan is under his command within the sentry post.

As for the other ninjas...

Besides the Uchiha, there are also some members of the Sarutobi clan and some members of the Shimura clan here.

There is also a small number of civilian ninjas.

The three people Fugaku mentioned were naturally Yashiro and himself.

There was another man who always followed Fugaku in silence.

Uchiha Shin.

Fugaku led two men directly to the camp where the mission was issued.

The mission tent was located in the center of the entire outpost, and people were constantly coming and going inside.

When the three of them went inside, the place was bustling with activity.

Ninjas kept delivering intelligence or accepting new missions.

This is a production line-like job.

The important thing is to gather relevant intelligence.

All missions at the outpost are directly assigned by the village; no missions will be commissioned by other factions.

The missions that Konoha undertakes are all carried out by the village's ninjas.

Outposts only need to continuously gather intelligence and serve as war camps.

Although Fugaku was highly respected among the Uchiha, there were also many instances where ninjas here ignored the Uchiha clan.

The three of them had no choice but to wait in line.

Fortunately, ninjas are generally quite efficient.

They were in line very quickly.

An elderly man was organizing various pieces of information in front of me.

Sarushi vine.

The Sarutobi clan's Jonin was an elite Jonin who participated in World War I, but unfortunately he is now quite old, and it is unknown how much fighting power he still has.

He is also the leader of this outpost.

Although the person should have retired to a more remote position at their age, the village still arranged for them to stay here.

After all, the village's resources were limited, and they could only send out some of the older generation of ninjas.

Fugaku saw Sarutobi and immediately stated his request.

"Jonin Sarutobi, I would like to retrieve the mission report from five days ago."

"Five days ago?" Sarutobi Fuji frowned in thought.

He knew about the mission and quickly took out the scroll containing relevant mission information.

"That mission is not yet complete. We have already dispatched many ninja squads to track it down, and many people have been killed in the process."

Sending a Jonin squad to infiltrate the Land of Hot Springs, Sarutobi Fuji knew the situation was urgent.

However, the power here is indeed quite scarce.

This is also why the village sent the Uchiha clan with their people.

"Leave it to us."

Fugaku spoke directly.

"Uchiha Fugaku, is it? He's young and promising. I'll leave him to you."

Sarutobi Fujii handed the quest scroll to Fugaku.

He also knew about the young head of the Uchiha clan.

His reputation wasn't well-known, and although he had participated in many missions, they were all relatively low-risk.

The Uchiha clan is extremely protective of its future clan leader.

The fact that the Uchiha clan has brought this young clan leader here suggests that they believe his strength is already quite impressive.

If one is strong enough to be considered a member of the Uchiha clan, then one must reach the level of an elite ninja.

"I hope you can find them as soon as possible. Kirigakure intends to participate in this World War II."

Sarutobi Fuji frowned deeply.

The recent unusual activity of a large number of ninja from the Mist Village is not good news.

If a real battle breaks out, Konoha will have no more forces to support them and will have to rely entirely on the Uchiha.

Although the clan leader intended to deplete the Uchiha's power.

But what if the Land of Hot Springs were to completely collapse?

This is quite disadvantageous for Konoha.

Fugaku nodded.

The three of them accepted the mission and set off immediately.

The mission that wiped out the squad took place not far from a natural hot spring.

Moreover, the place where they were pursued and sacrificed was not particularly far away.

The three arrived at the first location.

There were no signs of a battle nearby.

Even the surrounding environment was intact; it was a wild place where a battle might break out.

No one will come to clean it up.

Five days is not enough time to cover up the traces.

"The intelligence did not specify the time of the battle; the sentry ninjas did not realize something was wrong until two hours after the incident."

Fugaku looked at the ground and saw only dried bloodstains.

The three of them activated their Sharingan simultaneously.

"There are no traces of ninjutsu left behind."

"Then they are not the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

This is the only good news, considering that the Seven Ninja of the Mist can kill even ordinary elite Jonin.

However, the information that can be obtained in five days is ultimately limited.

"Next place." Fugaku chose to find the next place.

Yashiro looked at the hot spring inn in the distance.

"That's where the subsequent ninja squad was killed."

"At such close range, is this a provocation?"

Fugaku looked thoughtful; the closer he got to the crucial moment, the more cautious and deliberate he needed to be.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome if problems arise.

"Fugaku, there's no use thinking about it now. We need to gather intelligence for the time being."

Uchiha Shin tried to persuade him.

Fugaku nodded.

The three of them went straight to the hot spring hotel.

The hot spring hotel was closed.

But this has never been a problem for ninjas.

The three of them jumped inside and began searching the hot spring inn.

The three soon met up in the warehouse of the hot spring inn.

The three fell silent as they looked at the seven corpses hanging in the warehouse.
