Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

"No, that's too dangerous."

Without a second thought, Uchiha Sora rejected Kaze's proposal outright.

Beneath the mask, Uchiha Sora frowned and spoke in a deep voice:

"Monkey, what is the duty of the Dark Guard?"

After hesitating for a moment in the wind of the month of Maoyue, he said, "Execute the order."

"What is our mission?"

"Rescue Tsunade, the ninja."

For some reason, Uzuki Kazunari felt immense pressure from Uchiha Sora, even though he was the senior.

"That's right. Our mission this time is to rescue Tsunade, the Junin-in. Given the current situation, Tsunade may already be in danger, yet we're here worrying about whether it's dangerous or not?" Uchiha Sora narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them. "My small size makes me harder to spot passively in the complex environment of the back mountains. In this situation, my plan is the most correct decision."

Uzuki Kaze fell silent. He knew Uchiha Sora was right. His instinctive rejection earlier stemmed from the fact that he still saw Uchiha Sora as a child. Now, with time to reflect, he understood the truth. He let out a heavy sigh.

"Okay, remember, avoid fighting Takigakure if possible. I will find the captain and reunite with you as soon as possible."

Uchiha Sora nodded slightly, his eyes deep, thinking that perhaps in Uzuki Kazeshin's mind, he had carried out the Will of Fire to the end.

When he returns home and learns of what he has done, what will his elders think?

Uzuki Kaze heavily patted Uchiha Sora's shoulder, gave him one last deep look, and then immediately fled into the distance.

Uchiha Sora remained hidden in place, his figure completely concealed by the weeds. He adjusted his breathing to minimize his presence and waited silently.

After a while

Boom! Boom boom! Boom boom boom—

The detonation tags exploded one after another, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the blast site, and dazzling flames flashed in that direction.

The explosion startled the Takigakure ninja in the back mountains. Soon after, several Takigakure ninja rushed towards the scene to investigate.

Thus, a gap appeared in this encirclement, giving the Uchiha clan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

He approached the gap, weaving swiftly through the terrain like a snake. Whenever a ninja from Taki approached, he would stop, hold his breath, and wait quietly for them to pass.

Fortunately, because of the explosion, the ninjas' attention was more or less drawn to that side, and no one noticed that a child was hiding in the weeds.

After repeating this process, Uchiha Sora quickly reached the edge of the encirclement. Just one more hundred meters forward, and he could freely search for Tsunade.

However, a problem arose in front of him: no matter how he tried to avoid it, he couldn't get around the two Taki ninjas not far away.

As far as the eye could see, a flat area had been cleared out by the Takigakure ninja. If anyone went over there, they would surely be noticed.

Fortunately, after observing for a while, he discovered that the two ninja from Takigakure were not very strong, one a genin and the other a chunin. As long as he killed them instantly and disposed of their bodies properly, they would not be discovered for a short time.

I observed silently for a while, and unexpectedly, he actually caught me in an opportunity.

The two ninja from Takigakure walked to the side and came to a tree. Uchiha Sora's eyes flashed as he approached them...

It turned out that the two ninja from Takigaki needed to urinate. They had been searching for a long time in the back mountain without success, and they couldn't hold it in any longer, so they stood side by side.

"Tell me, what was that explosion just now?" The Chunin shook his belt and asked casually.

"I don't know. Judging from the sound, it sounds like explosive tags? Never mind, anyway, some seniors have gone to check it out." The genin also unbuckled his belt, then curiously turned his head to look, chuckling.

"Although you are stronger than me, I seem to be stronger than you in some aspects."

The chunin was stunned, looked down in that direction, and his face turned pale and then red. "You're talking nonsense! What's the use of being big? Endurance is the only true measure!"

"Tsk tsk, the senior is getting angry out of embarrassment."

"Hey! You don't believe me? Let's have a competition after this mission!"

The genin didn't speak, but proudly shook his body, then fastened his belt, feeling refreshed. He then wondered why there was no sound from his senior's side. Could it be that he was feeling inferior? Someone next to him couldn't pee.

Turning his head to look, his pupils contracted sharply, and what he had been so proud of instantly went limp.

Because the Chunin senior next to him had a kunai stuck in his neck! He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his life ended at that moment!

"Ah—" The genin had barely uttered a syllable when a muffled thud came, his voice abruptly cut off, and he collapsed to the ground, unwilling to accept his fate.

Behind him, Uchiha Sora expressionlessly pulled the Kusanagi sword from the genin's heart, and casually pulled the kunai from the chunin's neck as well, wiped it off, and put it away.

"You like peeing in groups? Then you can pee like that for the rest of your life." He sneered.

As everyone knows, men are usually most relaxed and alert when they urinate, especially since these two were still talking. As a result, the Chunin didn't even notice Uchiha Sora's approach. If the Chunin could handle it, the Genin would be even easier to deal with.

Smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Uchiha Sora frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he used a kunai to cut down a large pile of weeds and simply hid the two corpses.

They then hurried towards the depths of the back mountain.

The success of this assassination was not actually due to Uchiha Sora, but rather to the two Takigakure ninja.

Knowing full well the possibility of enemy attack in the distance, they still carelessly went to urinate in groups, showing almost no sense of danger.

It can only be said that there are reasons why Takigawa is a weak country. If it were any of the five great nations, their ninjas would not be so careless, and they would not have allowed Uchiha Sora to succeed so easily.

……

The back mountain is vast; if Uchiha Sora were to search normally, it would probably take him several days and nights to find it.

He stood atop a large tree, looking down at the dense forest around him. It was all green, with the only striking feature being the mountain.

"This is troublesome," he muttered. How was he supposed to find people over such a large area?

Stop being so rigid, get your brain working!

He wondered, if he were Tsunade, where would he hide? Or... how would he leave clues for his supporters?

Although Tsunade is a gambler, it's undeniable that she's intelligent; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the Fifth Hokage.

What are Tsunade's characteristics?

Hmm, a great mind is a magnanimous person... Uchiha Sora shook his head, that characteristic is useless in the current situation!

A moment later, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "If Tsunade had any brains, she should be able to find..."

He began searching the back hill, and soon, he found an inconspicuous little insect on a leaf.

It was a white "caterpillar" about the size of a finger, which was a slug, Tsunade's summoning beast.

"Little guy, tell me where Tsunade is?" Uchiha Sora asked.

Unfortunately, the little slug ignored him. He thought for a moment, then took out a headband from his pocket—a Konoha headband.

This time, the little slug reacted, stretching its antennae in a certain direction—the direction of the mountains.

Uchiha Sora stuffed the slug into his arms and then headed towards the mountains...
