Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

"Qi, you did a good job."

Back in Konoha Village, at the Anbu base, Shinnosuke looked at Uchiha Sora with increasing satisfaction. In this mission, although Uchiha Sora was a newcomer, he was very quick in dealing with his opponents, even faster than some veterans.

Organizations generally value and place high hopes on members who are highly efficient.

"Destroying their supply trucks this time should keep those guys from Iwagakure busy for a while."

"monkey."

The masked man responded, and Shinnosuke pointed at Uchiha Sora, "For the next period of time, you will help him familiarize himself with the organization's rules. During wartime, the Anbu's missions are busier than usual."

"Yes."

"Alright, you can step back now." Shinnosuke waved his hand.

"Yes," Uzuki Kaze responded loudly for a moment, then gestured with her eyes.

Uchiha Sora nodded slightly, left the office with him, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Against the backdrop of dark stalactites, the damp air is filled with the earthy scent unique to rocks, and occasionally, a few drops of water seeping from the surface of the rocks will drip from the stalactites overhead.

From the moment Uchiha Sora first arrived here, he kept thinking about one question: Wouldn't working here for a long time cause him to get eczema?

Well, looking at the members of the Dark Guard coming and going, he felt that this seemed like a redundant question.

In fact, although the Anbu base is built inside the Hokage Rock, the air circulation here is very good. Fresh air flows in from all directions, and since ninjas are much stronger than ordinary people, they won't get seriously ill even if they stay here for a long time.

Uchiha Sora looked at Uzuki Kazunari ahead. During the mission, the latter was like a silent shadow, giving people a sense of rigor. It was really hard to imagine that after he killed Shisui, this man would actually comfort him.

"Our team is responsible for assassination and classified missions, which means we handle the fighting and killing. Intelligence and protection missions will be handled by other teams."

Uzuki Kazunari, who was walking ahead, suddenly spoke up. Uchiha Sora narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that Uzuki Kazunari's tone was lower than before.

"Therefore, our team's overall strength can be considered to be among the top tier of the Anbu." He suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared straight at Uchiha Sora.

"Seven, do you know what this means?"

Uh, looking at his serious gaze, Uchiha Sora thought for a while, "Does that mean we're better at fighting?"

Uzuki Kaze was taken aback, not expecting Uchiha Sora to give such an answer, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Strictly speaking, that's true." The next moment, his voice turned cold. "Indeed, we are better at fighting, but that also means that the missions we carry out are more dangerous, with the highest mortality rate."

Because of the mask, Uchiha Sora couldn't see Uzuki Kazunari's expression, but from the faint sadness in the depths of her eyes, he suddenly understood what Uzuki Kazunari had experienced in the past.

"In short, our team doesn't have that many rules, there's only one—obey orders."

Under the training of the Dark Division, the vast majority of its members were molded into the kind of people the organization needed.

As they spoke, they had returned to the way they came. Uzuki Kaze pushed open the door in front of them, and they returned to the low, sturdy house. The old man at the door was still lying on the recliner, looking very relaxed.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

"The old man is a veteran who survived World War II, so we must not be rude to him," Uzuki Kazunari earnestly instructed.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sora glanced at the sleeping old man and thought to himself, "You can't judge a book by its cover. To be honest, he couldn't tell at all that this old man had experienced the cruelty of war."

Could it be... a hidden master like the Sweeping Monk?

Of course, this was Uchiha Kudo's idea. The reason why the old man's wounds were not visible on the outside was because he was from the logistics department and only had a scar several tens of centimeters long on his abdomen.

"Alright, you can go back now. We'll let you know if there are any missions." Uzuki Kazunari pushed open the door and turned to Uchiha Sora to say this.

"Wander." Uchiha Sora, without a second thought, stepped out of the doorway.

"Uchiha Sora." Suddenly, Uzuki Kazunari's voice came from behind. This time, he didn't call Uchiha Sora by his code name, but called him by his real name.

Strictly speaking, they are still wearing masks and need to be addressed by code names.

Uchiha Sora stopped in his tracks. Behind him, after a long silence, a complex voice finally broke the silence.

"Live on."

Uchiha Sora stepped forward.

As Uozuki Kaze watched the retreating figure disappear into the distance, his expression unreadable. After a long while, his face slowly regained its deathly calm.

Their team carried out the most difficult missions, resulting in the highest mortality rate of 80%. In fact, of the people from the same batch, only he remained, and of the previous batch, only Sarutobi Shinnosuke was left. That's why he said something inexplicable to Uchiha Sora.

……

The setting sun was blood red. The villagers were unaware of what the secret agents had done. They continued their busy and orderly lives, which were no different from any other day.

At the main gate of Konoha, in the security team's office, Security Captain Ritsuta Yamashiro sat silently and sternly.

On the table in front of him, a document was neatly arranged.

Yes, it's information about the veteran actor Uchiha Sora.

In just one week, information about Uchiha Sora appeared in four places: the Anbu, Root, Akatsuki, and Konoha Security Service.

It seems that Uchiha Sora's peaceful days were shattered the moment the Chunin Exams ended.

The reason why Uchiha Sora's information ended up with Yamashiro Ritsuta can be traced back to the two people who died in Sunagakure a week ago.

Of course, it wasn't because they found any evidence left by Uchiha Sora; the latter's body was disposed of very cleanly, and there wasn't a single piece of physical evidence to be found.

The real reason is that a few days ago, one of his subordinates suddenly claimed to have found a "witness" to what happened that night—a janitor who lived nearby. The janitor had just finished his workday.

On his way home, before the explosion, he saw Uchiha Sora's back as he headed towards the back mountain. Of course, he didn't see Uchiha Sora's face, but he judged from his build that he was a boy.

When security guards investigated him nearby, he told them what he had seen that day, which led to Yamashiro Ritsuta's current behavior.

"Uchiha Sora..." Ritsuta Yamashiro murmured softly, his fingers gently stroking the large photo of Uchiha Sora on the file.

When he heard that Uchiha Sora was the first place winner in the Chunin Exams at Ichiraku Ramen, he had the thought, "Could this boy have done it?" But he just thought he was overthinking it and actually suspected a twelve-year-old boy.

But the cleaner's explanation made him take the boy seriously again.

Uchiha, burning corpses, makes perfect sense, after all, the Uchiha are most famous for their Sharingan and Fire Release.

According to the cleaner, a teenager went to the back mountain half an hour before the explosion, which killed two enemy ninjas and one Konoha ninja.

That evening, he asked Uchiha Sora if he had encountered anyone suspicious, to which Sora replied no.

A boy, an Uchiha, a burned corpse, an encounter in the night...

Based on various connections, he didn't believe it was a coincidence; this was the security guard's intuition.

"Captain, it's time to go home." A voice called from outside the door.

Ritsuta Yamashiro responded, took a deep look at the photo of Sora Uchiha, then rolled it up and put it inside his clothes.

He planned to thoroughly investigate this Uchiha boy.

Konoha is bustling with activity as one incident after another unfolds.
