Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Great Wilderness Valley,

This is a notorious desolate valley known for miles around. Almost no vegetation grows here, and as far as the eye can see, there are only deep ravines. If you sneak through the ravines, you will hardly be noticed. The mountain walls on both sides are natural cover, which effectively avoids being seen.

Uchiha Sora brought the "White Fox" here; this is the destination of this mission.

He unrolled the scroll and looked at the mission objective: a hidden squad from the Mist would be passing through this area, and they were to be intercepted and killed.

He packed up the scroll. He wasn't surprised that a Hidden Mist Squad would appear here; during wartime, there were always ninjas from other countries trying to infiltrate the Land of Fire.

As for the Hidden Mist ninjas this time, he had some ideas. They were probably there to investigate the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Ever since Might Guy killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the three survivors had gone into hiding to heal their wounds.

Therefore, most of the people in Kirigakure were unaware of what had happened in Konoha, while the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were highly respected throughout the Land of Water, so their disappearance would naturally prompt them to send people to investigate.

Uchiha Sora's mission this time was to kill this group of Hidden Mist ninja. After gaining Jonin strength, the missions assigned to him by Shinnosuke became more difficult, and most of them were solo missions.

He glanced sideways at the "white fox" beside him, feeling uneasy, mainly because of the fox mask.

Members of the Anbu all wear masks, mostly various animal masks, but Uchiha Sora had only ever seen a fox mask between himself and Uzuki Kaze.

His is a cold fox mask, while the one worn by Uzuki Kaze is a smiling fox mask.

And now, the white fox next to him is also wearing a fox mask, a... crying fox mask.

Upon seeing the fox mask, he had a stress response, so no matter how he looked at the white fox, he felt disgusted and had an urge to tear off her mask.

Suppressing his impulse, he instructed the white fox, "When carrying out missions, it's best not to use any unique ninjutsu. Concealing your identity is also a required course for the Anbu."

This is a basic requirement of the Anbu. It was also the same instruction that Uzuki Kazunari gave him. Therefore, whenever he went on a mission, he would avoid using Uchiha clan ninjutsu if he could, and mostly used taijutsu, especially the Kusanagi sword.

White Fox nodded slightly. Uchiha Sora could feel White Fox's gaze fixed on his face. He was a little puzzled. Both of them were wearing masks, so why were they staring at him like that?

He resisted the urge to yell "What are you looking at?", bent down, and pressed his ear to the ground. After a short while, he felt a faint tremor from the ground.

"Target is about to appear, conceal your presence," he whispered, leaping onto the walls on either side and crouching in ambush.

The white fox glanced at him, then leaped up as well, walking on the wall before finally crouching down and hiding opposite Uchiha Sora.

Her move led Uchiha Sora to conclude, "The White Fox has a very solid grasp of chakra."

That feat of scaling walls and rooftops just now was no easy feat; even the wind would leave a trace. But this feat of scaling walls and rooftops left no trace at all, which is much more difficult than walking on water.

"His strength... seems to have reached the peak of Chunin level, probably around Kakashi's..." he thought to himself.

That's how it is among experts; even with just simple basic skills, they can roughly judge each other's strength.

After confirming that the white fox was not weak, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. What he feared most was that Shinnosuke would send him a newcomer whose strength was completely incompetent, which would cause him considerable trouble.

Soon, the two blended into their environment like chameleons, and their presence was undetectable without powerful sensory abilities.

quickly,

A three-person squad came into view.

Uchiha Sora silently observed, then raised two fingers to the right of the white fox opposite him, pointed to himself, and then pointed one finger at the other.

Uchiha Sora: I'll take the two on the right, and you can have the one on the left.

The white fox nodded gently.

Three minutes later, the three members of the Hidden Mist Village arrived below the two.

At that moment, Uchiha Sora made his move. The explosive tag attached to the rock beside him exploded with a bang, and countless rocks crashed down.

The three hidden members of the Mist were startled and quickly used Water Release techniques to block the falling rocks.

At this opportunity, Uchiha Sora had already stepped over the falling rocks and arrived close to the three of them. With a flash of silver light in his hand, the Kusanagi sword was aimed straight at the throat of the Mist Ninja on the far right.

The man was shocked and could only raise his kunai to block the sword in his haste. However, he found that he did not feel any resistance!

Immediately, a chill ran down my spine from behind.

"Help me!" he cried out, but it was too late.

Uchiha Sora, using the Shadow Clone Technique, flashed a cold glint in his eyes. With a flash of light, he unleashed the Crescent Moon Dance, severing the man's head.

At that moment, the other two also reacted, their faces turning pale, and simultaneously formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

The torrent of water, like a tsunami, swept Uchiha Sora and the rocks away, and with the force of the water, Uchiha Sora created distance.

If you succeed in one move, there's no need to face two people at the same time. Creating a one-on-one situation by keeping your distance is the safest approach.

"Damn it, we've been ambushed!" The leader of the Mist Ninjas sensed something was wrong. He exchanged a glance with another ninja, threw out an explosive tag, and retreated simultaneously.

Uchiha Sora had already anticipated this possibility, and before the explosive tag could detonate, he threw out his shuriken to destroy it, and shot out like an arrow.

The Hidden Mist ninja's face turned fierce. Knowing that running away would not save him, he drew his long sword and began to fight Uchiha Sora.

Another person tried to help, but suddenly heard a whistling sound. He quickly turned his head, and a hand slid across his scalp, striking the rock behind him.

With a loud crash, rubble flew everywhere. The man's face turned pale. If he hadn't dodged it, his head would probably have ended up like the rock.

He hurriedly drew the long sword from behind him, staring warily at the "smiling fox" who was unarmed in front of him.

Having failed in her first attack, the white fox calmly shifted her stance, facing the Hidden Mist ninja in front of her with the Eight Trigrams Palm Stance.

As for Uchiha Sora, they exchanged blows more than a dozen times in just a few seconds, with the clash of swords and blades producing a series of crackling metallic sounds.

……

A few minutes later, Uchiha Sora pulled the Kusanagi sword from the corpse in front of him, turned around and looked at the white fox.

Meanwhile, White Fox was also nearing the end of his mission. He pushed away the long sword with one hand and struck the Mist Ninja directly on the head with the other. The latter groaned and fell to the ground.

Immediately, the white fox seemed to sense something and looked up to meet Uchiha Sora's complex gaze...

Uchiha Sora had just warned that it was best not to use ninjutsu with unique characteristics, and White Fox clearly did not follow that advice.

It wasn't that the white fox was disobedient, but rather because... she didn't know any other ninjutsu; she... only knew palm techniques!

"You... you're from the Hyuga clan."

Uchiha Sora remained silent for a long while before speaking softly.
