Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

ANBU base,

Shinnosuke, sitting in his office, said, "Monkey, I'm giving you an urgent mission: hunt down two rogue ninjas."

Uzuki Kaze's eyes narrowed. "A rogue ninja?"

"Yes, according to reliable intelligence, those two rogue ninjas have defected to Sunagakure."

"Is there anything special about these two?"

"Yes, although these two are just genin, they have special identities. They are in clerical positions and know a lot of secrets. If they successfully reach Sunagakure, they may cause us a lot of trouble."

Uzuki Kazunari took the document, which contained information about the two genin. After a while...

"Single-player mission?"

"That depends on you."

Uzuki Kaze was taken aback and looked up at Shinnosuke, who smiled slightly. "This mission can be done solo or with others. If you find it a bit troublesome to do it solo, you can bring one or two people with you."

Kaze was still somewhat confused. Generally speaking, the Dark Division rarely sends out such unclear missions. For them, there is only one option: to carry out orders. They will not give their members any chance.

He carefully reviewed the document again, confirming that it was just a routine mission to hunt down rogue ninjas, nothing special.

"What's wrong? Is there something you're wondering about?"

"No, no, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Uzuki Kaze put away the documents and went to prepare her equipment.

Shinnosuke, sitting in the office, smiled slightly.

As Uzuki walked along, he pondered. The task the captain had assigned him couldn't be that simple; there was probably something fishy going on.

However, one thing is certain: the captain is not afraid. They have been teammates for ten years and can trust each other completely.

As for his teammates on this mission... a certain figure appeared in his mind, and his shriveled lips began to move.

"Huh? An emergency mission?"

The north wind whipped up the white grass, and Uchiha Sora stared wide-eyed at Uzuki Kazeka in front of him, his wonderful mood instantly turning sour.

He glanced at the snow in the yard, a smirk playing on his lips. To be honest, in this freezing weather, he was actually focused on carrying out his mission.

But since they'd already come knocking on my door, I could only force a smile.

"I'm getting ready."

As if sensing his reluctance, Uzuki Kaze said softly, "This task is not mandatory for you; you can refuse."

Uchiha Sora blinked. "Really?"

"real?"

The words of refusal welled up in his throat, but looking at the snow-white hair of Uzuki Kaze in front of him, he thought for a moment,

"If I refuse, who will go on the mission with you?"

Uzuki Kaze shrugged. "Nobody's here, it's just me."

"I see..." Uchiha Sora said thoughtfully.

It's freezing cold here, the temperature must be around minus ten degrees Celsius. Look, even the eyelashes in the wind are covered with a layer of ice crystals. They're all alone, carrying out their mission. It's quite pitiful.

If Shinnosuke were here, he would refuse without hesitation and then go back to bed for a nap.

But the person in front of him was Kazekazuki, whom he had always taken care of when he was in the Dark Division, and whose visits to him when he was in the hospital were not insincere.

"Can I see the mission details?"

"sure."

He took the document and quickly scanned it. Well, it was safe to say there was almost no danger.

His expression shifted constantly. After a long while, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Go! Wait for me, I'm going to change my clothes." After saying that, she turned around and went to prepare her equipment.

Behind him, Uzuki Kaze stood quietly at the door, beaming with joy.

"A mission in the dead of winter?" Momonosuke asked in surprise.

"I'll need about two or three days," Uchiha Sora explained.

"Okay." Momonosuke nodded and casually added, "Be careful, and hopefully you won't come back in a hospital."

"Go away, Dad, you're cursing me." Uchiha Sora waved his hand, slung his sword over his shoulder, and turned to leave.

……

In a town about twenty or thirty miles away from Konoha,

The village isn't large, but it boasts a unique attraction: hot springs.

After some inquiries, I learned that the town was called Hot Spring Town, which has natural hot springs. Every winter, many tourists come here, but since the start of World War III, the number of tourists has decreased significantly.

Uchiha Sora and Uzuki Kazunari, dressed in casual clothes, entered the hot spring town. They were not wearing ANBU uniforms because they were new to the place and did not know where the two rogue ninjas were. So pretending to be tourists was the best choice.

"Brother Fengzhong, where should we look for them?" Uchiha Sora asked, rubbing his hands together.

Now that the two are here as tourists, they naturally can't be referred to by their secret service code names.

Standing in the street in the wind of Uzuki, she glanced around and saw more than ten people walking by. New faces appeared in this town every day, so no one paid them any attention.

"Since you're already here, let me take you to the hot springs," he said with a smile.

"Um, the mission?"

"Don't worry, according to intelligence, those two still need to make contact with the people from Sunagakure here, so there's plenty of time. Besides, hot springs are a good place to gather information."

"Okay, fine."

The two arrived at the largest hot spring hotel in town. The owner was an old man who had been running the hotel for over forty years.

"Sir, anything interesting has happened lately?" Uzuki Kaze asked, leaning against the counter.

The old man, who had been grinning from ear to ear while observing the busty women, suddenly frowned when Uzuki Kaze interrupted him.

"Go away, there's nothing new, don't bother me."

Boom-!

The sound of glass shattering on the table startled the old man, his gaze fixed intently on the bottle of wine on the counter.

"Tch, it's just a bottle of wine. What haven't I seen before, old man?"

As he spoke, his voice trailed off, for the rich aroma of sake filled the air as he unscrewed the bottle cap in the breeze of the month.

Gollum—

The old man swallowed hard. "The older generation, aren't they all a bit of a drinker?" he thought. But his granddaughter was worried about his health and had been controlling his alcohol intake.

The aroma of the wine had completely whetted his craving; just from the smell alone, he knew it was definitely a fine wine.

Looking around but not finding his granddaughter, he quickly grabbed the bottle of wine in front of him. "Big-breasted girls? Nothing beats the aroma of wine," he coughed lightly.

"Young man, you've come to the right person. There's nothing I don't know about this Hot Spring Town. Not much has happened recently, and I happen to know a few things."

He lowered his voice and whispered, "A couple of days ago, a fight broke out in town. It started when two drunkards bumped into a group of people on the road. These two drunkards then turned on each other and demanded an apology from the other side."

However, the group naturally refused to apologize. Enraged, the two drunkards fought with them. They were beaten senseless and collapsed, dragged away by the group. They were never seen again.

As he spoke, he chuckled, "I happened to witness the fight. Although I'm just an ordinary old man, I've seen a lot. I'm sure those people were ninjas. Isn't that something new?"

Uzuki Kazunari and Uchiha Sora exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise. They hadn't expected to actually gain anything.

"Of course, this is something new, so the sake is yours," said Uzuki Kaze.
