Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

The Land of Grass is located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. Due to its weak strength, it acted as a "central air conditioner" in this Shinobi World War, maintaining a friendly attitude towards all the ninja villages. It was a country that neither side dared to provoke, and other major powers had no interest in attacking this tiny place.

The other shore of flowers is a flower field in the land of grass. As far as the eye can see, white and yellow chrysanthemums are in full bloom all over the mountains and fields. Only a wide yellow earth road cuts through this sea of ​​flowers like a knife.

At this moment, several horse-drawn carriages loaded with supplies rolled along the Flower Avenue. The wheels made a 'gurgling' sound on the ground from time to time. Around the carriages, there were seven well-equipped ninjas. On the foreheads of the ninjas, there was the same symbol: a mountain of different sizes connected together.

This also reveals their identity—ninjas from Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

"Be on your guard!" The ninja at the front of the carriage shouted to the other six ninjas. His name was Tsuchikawa, and he was the captain of this group of ninjas.

"The situation at the front is tense, and food supplies are running low. We must deliver this batch of supplies safely to the front," Tuheche shouted again, then leaned against the carriage, cautiously observing his surroundings.

Beside him, a subordinate walked over and whispered, "Captain, this flower field is the most dangerous place. If someone is lying in ambush, it's most likely here."

"Hmm." Tuheche nodded, looking at the chrysanthemums covering the mountains and fields all around. The mountain breeze carried countless petals down, and the air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance.

As far as the eye can see, only flowers cover the ground.

These flowers, which have been growing for many years, have grown to chest height because no one has tended to them. If someone were lying down inside, they would not be visible at all.

The Iwagakure ninjas and Konoha ninjas were locked in fierce fighting at the front lines, and supplies had been scarce for a long time. So headquarters ordered them to transport supplies to the front lines.

They were so vigilant because they feared that Konoha ninjas might intercept them halfway.

At this moment, they had already crossed half of the flower field. As long as they successfully left this place, the rest of the road would be flat and smooth, greatly reducing the possibility of them being ambushed.

Therefore, if there is an ambush, this is the best place.

"Everyone, be serious and pay close attention," Tuheche spoke again. Under normal circumstances, the route for transporting supplies is top secret, and the possibility of being ambushed is very small.

However, for some reason, a sense of unease kept creeping into his heart.

"Zishui, have you noticed anything unusual?" he asked the scout ninja in the middle of the carriage.

The ninja named Zishui shook his head. "No."

Tuheche let out a soft sigh, removed his headband from his forehead, looked at the ninja village insignia on it, and suddenly chuckled, "I've been under too much pressure lately. I'm always paranoid."

The carriage continued on its way, with only the sound of the wind and the clatter of hooves. If you're looking for a tourist destination, this shore of red spider lilies would be a great choice.

?

His eyes snapped open, and he finally realized something was wrong.

There was only the sound of the wind and the sound of horses' hooves; there was no other sound at all!

It's so quiet! Usually, there are lots of insects chirping in flower fields!

"Everyone, on alert!" he roared as he stood up.

The next moment, in the calm flower field, seven or eight figures leaped up from the flower field. They wore masks and had an extremely cold aura. In mid-air, countless shuriken and explosive tags flew towards the Iwagakure ninja!

"Enemy attack!" Tuheche roared, his hands forming hand seals at lightning speed. With a rumble, a barrier rose from the ground, enveloping him and the matter behind him.

Boom boom boom—

The detonators exploded one after another, and in an instant, the flower field, which looked like a fairyland, was engulfed in flames.

"Leave that Jonin to me. You deal with the rest. Make sure it's quick!" The masked man, Shinnosuke, coldly gave the order, then charged towards the earthen carriage alone.

A fireball was launched, smashing directly through the earthen wall.

However, the earthen river cart within the earthen wall was no ordinary creature either; the moment the earthen wall was breached, a large amount of rock and soil solidified on its arm.

Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique!

"Anbu!" he roared, and began fighting with Shinnosuke. For a moment, the aftershocks of the battle between the two Jonin kept everyone else away.

"Seven, go and take care of that scout ninja," a masked man whispered, then picked a target and rushed over.

Uchiha Sora grunted and looked down at the battlefield. In just a few breaths, battles broke out everywhere, and smoke and flames rose in the air.

His gaze slowly locked onto Shisui, a reconnaissance ninja from Iwagakure. This female ninja was his first target when he joined the Anbu.

……

Let's go back to the day before.

"From today onwards, your code name will be: Seven." Shinnosuke announced from the Dark Side's base.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected joining the Dark Side.]

[Phase one of the tasks is complete.]

[Obtained: Karasu Tengu]

Uchiha Sora was stunned for a moment. When he heard the system's voice, he realized that he had joined the Anbu just like that, without any other procedures. It was unbelievably hasty.

A tengu?

His heart was pounding wildly. If he remembered correctly, the Karasu Tengu was the manifestation of the third stage of Susanoo.

In his excitement, he almost let out a monkey's howl. If he were still in the Dark Division's base, he probably wouldn't have been able to wait and release the Tengu on the spot.

Shinnosuke looked at the Uchiha boy in front of him with a strange expression. The excitement flashing in the boy's eyes did not escape his notice. He thought to himself, "Uchiha Sora is so excited about joining the Anbu. What a good sign. He's loyal to the Anbu. Not bad, not bad."

He then continued, "According to our intelligence, Iwagakure ninjas will be escorting a batch of supplies to the front lines tomorrow. Our objective is to destroy Iwagakure's escort mission."

【Ding! 】

[Host's Note: Karasu Tengu is extremely damaging to the eyes and carries a risk of blindness. Please use with caution.]

Uchiha Sora was like a burning flame suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water; the system's reminder brought him back to his senses.

He suddenly remembered the last time he used the Uchiha's Glory, and the moment the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared, he also felt discomfort in his eyes.

He suddenly realized that before he awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, techniques related to the Mangekyou Sharingan would still damage his eyes, even though he hadn't awakened the Sharingan.

He was so disappointed that he didn't even hear the mission Shinnosuke issued.

As for Shinnosuke, from his perspective...

Upon hearing about the mission, Uchiha Sora's excitement was instantly replaced by disappointment, causing a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

I thought to myself, this guy was so excited when he first joined the Anbu, but he turns into this as soon as he hears about the mission. Looks like he still needs some more training...

And so, Uchiha Sora began his first mission today.

Beneath that fox mask lay a pair of cold eyes.

Zishui's heart skipped a beat. She felt an invisible pressure emanating from Uchiha Sora. She took a deep breath, scrutinized Uchiha Sora's figure, and reassured herself:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Judging from the voice and figure, that person should be a child. Although I am a reconnaissance ninja, dealing with him should be a piece of cake."

Then, she patted her chest, her gaze resolute, and as a layer of rock and soil slowly covered her arm, she encouraged herself.

"We will win!"
