Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Uchiha Sora turned off the tap, dried his face with a towel, swept his hair back, looked at his handsome face in the mirror, and patted his cheeks.

"Hakiko, you're even more handsome than yesterday."

After washing his face and changing into a clean ninja outfit, he opened the French windows and quietly waited for the crows to arrive. The monkey had told him yesterday that there was a mission today.

Feeling the autumn breeze on his face and watching the golden sycamore leaves fall in the yard, he felt that today was another beautiful day.

A month has passed since the Chunin training ended that day. During this month, Uchiha Sora has felt an unprecedented peace and quiet.

The friends who used to come to visit him were all on missions near the front lines, and for some reason, the number of missions for the Dark Division had decreased significantly, with only two missions in the past month.

It can be said that this month was the most leisurely time he had ever had since he could remember. He practiced his basic skills every day, trained with Shisui, and went to Itachi's house to tease Itachi when he had free time. He was living a very carefree and happy life.

At the same time, he always felt that something was missing from these days, that they were aimless.

"System, do you have any tasks?"

【Ding--】

【none.】

"Tch, what a piece of trash."

The system fell silent. Uchiha Sora curled his lip. Ever since the last mission to join the Anbu was completed, this damn system had gone into hiding and hadn't even given him another mission.

"System, just reward me with Sage Mode for the next mission, okay?" Uchiha Sora muttered to himself. He had wanted to learn Sage Mode for a long time, preferably like Mitsuki in Boruto, with his whole body glowing coolly, so awesome.

The system remained silent.

"If Sage Mode doesn't work, at least it could erase the aftereffects of using Karasu Tengu." Uchiha Sora started daydreaming.

Unfortunately, the system still ignored him.

After sitting there leisurely for quite a while, having told the system everything he wanted, the cawing of crows finally came from afar.

Seeing the crows perched on the fence, Uchiha stood up, dusted off his clothes, took the sword case from the wall beside him, and then put on the fox mask.

"Brother Crow, let's go."

"Gah, gah gah!"

"Hmm? Brother Crow thinks I look handsome again today?"

The crow rolled its eyes, took flight, and led the way.

Uchiha Sora shrugged and followed. After going outside, he noticed that there were a few more people in the ordinary breakfast shops around.

A farmer wearing a straw hat eating breakfast, a young man reading a newspaper, and a shirtless man smoking—each was doing their own thing.

Very normal.

Uchiha Sora initially thought it was normal. If it were like this on one day in life, it would be perfectly normal, after all, legs are on other people's feet. But what about two weeks in a row?

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the group of people. Two weeks ago, a group of people would "hang out" in front of his house every day. Sometimes they were aunties, sometimes uncles, sometimes children. In short, the people who came each time were different.

Once could be a coincidence, but two weeks in a row like this is a different story. After all, he knows the foot traffic of those run-down shops near his house all too well.

To put it simply, it's a miracle that this business is still operating today.

Therefore, he suspected that someone was spying on him. Once, he confronted one of the people in the group, but the man called him crazy and said it was inexplicable.

At first, he was a little annoyed, but when he realized that the group seemed to be simply monitoring him and not doing anything else, he stopped caring and just told the guards to be more careful.

Leaving the Uchiha clan compound, Uchiha Sora followed the crow directly to the main gate of Konoha Village... a small side gate, since as an Anbu member, there was no reason for him to use the main gate.

These small, secluded doors are their only way to get around.

Soon, following the crow, Uchiha Sora arrived at the rendezvous point. Upon arriving, he raised an eyebrow because he saw the tiger mask, which belonged to Captain Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

This mission is no simple matter; even the captain has come. He thought to himself as he approached the group.

Shinnosuke nodded slightly. "Very good, everyone is here."

He then began to explain the mission. The secret service, especially Shinnosuke's squad, always informs its members before each mission, a method that minimizes the risk of information leaks.

"The objective of this mission is to rescue Tsunade, the junior innkeeper."

"Ahem!"

Everyone stared expressionlessly at the culprit. Uchiha Sora patted his chest, his expression one of utter shock beneath his mask.

"Not the captain? Rescue Tsunade? It's questionable whether our group is even as strong as Tsunade!"

His mind was racing. The original work didn't mention the plot of rescuing Tsunade. Was it because Kishimoto didn't write it, or... the butterfly effect?

Shinnosuke glanced at Uchiha Sora and calmly said, "The Anbu's duty is to carry out missions. Shichi, this is your first time."

Uchiha Sora opened his mouth, speechless, and said, "Yes."

Shinnosuke turned his head back. "Tsunade was discovered by Iwagakure while carrying out a secret mission, which led to a fierce battle. She then fled, but during her escape, she encountered ninjas from Tsuyugakure. Given her strength, dealing with the Tsuyugakure ninjas wouldn't be a problem, but she was seriously injured in the battle with Iwagakure. It took a lot of effort to send one of Konoha's ninjas out."

Uchiha Sora nodded, knowing that his captain was explaining something to him. Even though he had many questions, he didn't ask any at the moment.

Some things, offending someone once is enough; don't assume Shinnosuke is a good-natured person.

He stepped back behind the crowd, his brow furrowed.

Tsunade is seriously injured? Besides her superhuman strength, Tsunade is most famous for her healing abilities, especially her almost bug-like Hundred Healings Technique. It's safe to say that the user can only be in one of two states: either at their peak or completely exhausted.

Oh, and another possibility is that he died from being shot in the head or stabbed in the heart.

No, something suddenly occurred to him, and he had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

That means Tsunade might not have learned the Hundred Healings Technique at this time, which is why she was seriously injured and needed to be rescued.

Of course, he didn't care whether Tsunade was seriously injured or not. What he cared about was why Tsunade was seriously injured. If it was part of the original plot, that would be great. But if it was because of his butterfly effect, that would be troublesome. It would mean that he, the butterfly, had quietly changed the course of the Third Shinobi World War.

He shook his head. There was no use thinking about it now. He would find out what was going on when he met Tsunade and asked her.

Looking up, I saw that everyone was already ready.

"We need to find Tsunade before dark," Shinnosuke said in a deep voice, and with a wave of his hand, he flew out like a wild horse.

"Seven, this mission is dangerous, be careful." Uzuki Kazunari patted Uchiha Sora on the shoulder, then followed him.

Uchiha Sora watched his retreating figure. Speaking of which, Uzuki Kazunari was the one in the Anbu who cared about him the most because he was still young, and they would take special care of him in many ways.

After a while, he followed.
