Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

The Land of Waterfalls is located between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. With the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire currently at war, the pressure on the Land of Waterfalls is immense, as they fear the war might one day reach their side.

When mentioning the Land of Waterfalls, one cannot help but mention their stubborn deeds. After the Warring States period ended, Hashirama distributed the Tailed Beasts according to the strength of each village, and the Land of Waterfalls was fortunate enough to receive the Seven-Tails.

However, the higher-ups in the Land of Waterfall must have been out of their minds. They felt that Hashirama was belittling them by allocating two tailed beasts to other countries but only one to their own. Furthermore, Konoha was at its strongest at the time, with Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama all present, practically possessing the power to unify the ninja world.

Fearing that Konoha would seek revenge after the war, the Land of Waterfall decided to strike first and sent Kakuzu to assassinate Hashirama.

The attempt, of course, failed. Hashirama was a kind-hearted fellow; even though they tried to assassinate him, he didn't do anything to Kazuya. The matter could have ended there.

Unexpectedly, Tobirama, the hot-tempered second brother, upon hearing of his elder brother's assassination, angrily led his men to Takigakure to demand an explanation. As a result, Kakuzu was imprisoned and subsequently defected from Takigakure.

Thinking back on the information about Takigakure, Uchiha Sora made a judgment. Since that incident, the relationship between Konoha and Takigakure has not been very good. However, there was still one thing he did not understand: how did Takigakure dare to attack Tsunade?

They've been trying to keep a low profile throughout the last two years of the Three Kingdoms, so why do they dare to intercept one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha at this critical juncture? Aren't they afraid of being caught in the crossfire of war?

"Seven, keep up the mission, don't think about anything else," Maoyue Fengzhong suddenly called out as he turned around.

Uchiha Kong jolted awake, realizing he was falling behind in speed. If he kept thinking, he might not even be able to see the captain and the others in a moment.

He smiled apologetically, cleared his mind, and sped up to follow the others.

After a long day of travel, the group finally arrived at the border of the Land of Waterfall before sunset, looking at the ninja warriors on the distant road.

Shinnosuke's expression darkened slightly. "There are ninjas here. It seems things are much more complicated than I thought."

"However, this also indicates something good," said Uzuki Kazunari. "At least, Tsunade is doing well for now; she hasn't been discovered."

"Then how do we find them?" Uchiha Sora asked. He didn't have any reconnaissance ninjutsu, so finding someone in a country would be quite a challenge for him.

"Yes, according to the intelligence, Ini-no-Tsunade should be in the northwest of Takigakure. Let's split up and search in pairs. Once we find her, we'll contact her by phone." With that, Shinnosuke handed out a small phone to everyone.

Uchiha Sora looked down at the phone in his hand. The technology of this era wasn't particularly advanced; the phone only had one button for making calls, and sometimes there was no signal outside the Land of Fire.

However, given the current conditions, we have no right to be picky. Rapid technological development will only happen after the golden age of rebirth following the end of World War III.

"Monkey, Seven's in your hands now," Shinnosuke said. Uzuki Kaze nodded and stood next to Uchiha Sora.

Every mission that required grouping involved him and Uchiha Sora, and this had been the case for the past month.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Sora asked:

"Captain, if we inevitably have a direct confrontation with the Takigakure ninjas, should we...?" He made a choking motion.

This is also what most people are thinking now. To kill or not to kill is a problem. If they kill, Konoha may have one more enemy in the autumn of war. If they don't kill... it will be very troublesome, and they will be hesitant to do many things.

Shinnosuke pondered for a moment, "If possible, try not to kill. The premise here is that you have overwhelming strength against the enemy. If you need an evenly matched opponent, it is best to leave first. If you can't leave, then fight with all your might."

Uchiha Sora nodded and stepped back, without asking any further questions.

"In that case, let's take action."

The group split up and took action separately.

#

Now that we've arrived at Takigakure, the inevitable outcome is becoming the Seven-Tails' Jinchūriki.

The third generation of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was Fu, but the current Fu hasn't been born yet. As for the second generation of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, there is no relevant information.

Therefore, the task here also requires attention to the possible existence of a second-generation Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Uchiha Sora thought about it for a moment, and with his current strength, his chances of winning against a Jinchuriki were... well, very small. If it was a fully-powered Jinchuriki, he couldn't beat him at all.

Thinking this, Uchiha Sora suddenly felt a bit weak. If only he could improve his talent for learning ninjutsu, he wouldn't have to rely so heavily on summoning and secret scrolls.

At this moment,

Suddenly, Uzuki Kazunari raised his hand and blocked Uchiha Sora, who was leaping through the trees.

"How..."

"Shh." Maoyue Fengzhong raised his index finger to signal that he shouldn't speak.

At this moment, Uchiha Sora also noticed something was wrong and immediately jumped onto a tree branch, perfectly blending into the environment.

Watching Uchiha Sora's fluid movements, Kaze nods with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "This kid's not bad; he noticed something was off before I even had a chance to point it out."

He then lay flat on the ground, becoming perfectly integrated with the soil, leaving no trace of his existence.

Clearly, Uzuki Kazunari is also quite skilled in concealment ninjutsu.

For a moment, the surroundings fell into dead silence, but soon, the sounds of small insects could be heard.

After a while, two Taki ninja arrived at the location.

"Hmm? There seemed to be some movement over here just now." One person said in confusion, holding a kunai and carefully parting the bushes next to him. A rabbit, startled, scurried out from the bushes with a squeak.

"What's the big deal? It's just a rabbit. Why are you making such a fuss?" another man said with a laugh, his shuriken flying out and accurately hitting the fleeing rabbit. He walked over and picked it up. "We can have an extra meal tonight. Do you want some? I can give you a leg."

"You should be more careful. If that woman gets away, we'll be in big trouble."

"Tch, we've controlled all the exits from the village now, and that woman is seriously injured, how could she possibly escape?"

"Heh, you forgot how one of them managed to escape?"

Upon hearing this, a deep sense of dread flashed in the man's eyes. That woman possessed superhuman strength, as if she could uproot mountains and overwhelm the world. Despite being injured, she managed to carve a bloody path through the air with her bare fists. If he had been any closer, he would already be dead.

"It's alright, she's been poisoned. I don't believe she can escape." The other person also fell silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"Yeah, be careful. Although she ended up running towards the back mountain, it could be a trick. We just need to guard our side." He spat and rubbed the saliva between his toes.

"How could we let her get away with stealing our Hero's Water!"

Soon, the two left while chatting casually...

After a long while, the leaves on the tree were parted, and Uchiha Sora stared blankly at the bloodstains left by the rabbit on the ground.

Uozuki Kaze also emerged from the soil, and the two exchanged a glance and spoke:

"The back mountain?"

"Hero's Water?"
