Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

Late at night on the 10th,

A group of uninvited guests arrived at the border of the Grass Country.

There are only four people: Shinnosuke, Monkey, Eagle, and Seven.

Since the tiger died, their team has not recruited any new members, and at present, they are short of talent and cannot find enough outstanding people to join their team, which has the highest mortality rate.

Uchiha Sora thought to himself, "Has Shinnosuke gone mad? How can just the four of them go to someone else's headquarters to gather intelligence?"

Yes, with a major battle imminent, Hiruzen Sarutobi dispatched members of his ANBU to the enemy's encampment to gather intelligence. He needed to understand the enemy's strength as much as possible, so naturally, he sent Shinnosuke and his team.

The Iwa ninja army stopped ten kilometers away from Konoha's base. These ten kilometers were a lifeline; crossing this distance would mean a decisive battle between life and death.

Shinnosuke's squad's mission was to scout the Iwa ninja army and bring back information on their strongest members.

Currently, it is known that Onoki and Kyoto are the top combatants of Iwagakure, while there is insufficient information about the other Jonin. Their goal is to confirm the combat strength of the other Jonin in the Iwagakure army.

Only with sufficient intelligence can Konoha have better countermeasures.

In fact, intelligence warfare is the first battle fought in any major international conflict. This is why countries strive to develop their covert operations; whoever possesses more intelligence gains the upper hand in this war.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Iwagakure ANBU squads have also headed to the Konoha battle base, leaving us to rely on other ANBU squads to hold them off.

Shinnosuke's team, on the other hand, obtained a great deal of intelligence under the protection of the Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) ANBU.

This night was a battle between two secret factions.

Suddenly, Shinnosuke, who was at the very front, stopped and pressed down two fingers slightly, indicating that there was something ahead.

Everyone stopped and looked at their captain.

Shinnosuke kept gesturing with his fingers; this was a form of communication between the members of the Dark Side.

"Five Iwa ninja have been spotted patrolling ahead."

"Killed him?" Uzuki Kaze responded with a gesture.

"No need, let's go around it," Shinnosuke gestured.

Suddenly, the five Iwa ninja seemed to sense something and walked towards them. If they left now, they might be noticed.

Clearly, Shinnosuke realized this; his eyes narrowed, and he gestured again.

"The plan has changed; kill these five people."

The group looked at each other in silence, and without saying a word, they all rushed towards the five people!

Under the starry night, a knife slits the throat.

The Iwa ninja's pupils contracted, and he clutched his neck as he fell to the ground in despair. Uchiha Sora glanced at the corpse, confirmed his death, and then sheathed his Kusanagi sword.

Looking at the others, he saw that they had also killed their targets, especially Shinnosuke, who killed two people faster than he could kill one.

After dealing with these people, Shinnosuke said in a deep voice, "We need to hurry, these people will probably find out soon."

We'll split up. Monkey, you go to the east; Eagle, you go to the north; and Qi, you go to the west.

Remember, the primary objective of this operation is intelligence gathering; avoid prolonged engagements.

"yes!"

……

Within an hour,

Uchiha Sora had been gathering intelligence in the western region. Perhaps due to his good luck, he didn't encounter any dangerous individuals along the way. He only met some minor figures, whom he dealt with at lightning speed.

He has discovered that there are three Jonin, twenty-two Chunin in the area he is in charge of, and the rest are all Genin. The data may be slightly off, but it is definitely not too far off.

"Only one place remains unexplored," he murmured, looking at the last large tent, the largest tent in the entire western region.

If nothing unexpected happens, the most important person is in that tent, and there are ninjas patrolling around at all times, so he can't find a suitable opportunity to scout.

"If there's no chance in half an hour, then retreat." Uchiha Sora made the decision immediately.

He lurked silently in the darkness, as if he had become one with it.

Luck seemed to be on his side. Twenty minutes later, the patrol team changed shifts, and this process was Uchiha Sora's opportunity.

He flashed out of the tent, a kunai in his hand. He gently poked a small hole in the tent and stuck his eye through it.

The tent is just a regular tent, only slightly larger and with more luggage compared to other tents.

Uchiha Sora fixed his gaze on the only figure inside the tent, frowning slightly. He felt that the figure looked familiar, until the person inadvertently revealed his profile, and he instantly recognized him.

loess.

"Very good. It seems the intelligence gathering in the west is complete: one elite Jonin, three Jonin, and twenty-two Chunin..."

As Uchiha Sora pondered, the thought of leaving arose. Staying any longer would risk being exposed, since he had also killed this person, and the pile of dirt couldn't hide the smell of blood for long.

Suddenly, a surge of air rushed past my ear.

Driven by instinct, Uchiha Ku rolled over.

wow——

The tent was instantly ripped open by a shuriken.

"Who!" Inside the tent, Huang Tu suddenly turned around and charged towards them.

Uchiha Sora fled into the darkness the instant he dodged the shuriken.

After the yellow earth emerged, Uchiha Sora was nowhere to be seen, but several members of the Iwagakure ANBU appeared.

"Yellow Earth Jonin." The ANBU member bowed slightly.

Huang Tu nodded slightly. "What's going on?"

"Here's the thing, we just spotted someone acting suspiciously here, but unfortunately, he escaped immediately. Don't worry, our men have already caught up with him."

Huang Tu narrowed his eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be a member of Konoha's Anbu. Kill him without mercy."

"That's natural." The ANBU member smiled slightly.

Inside the jungle,

"Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!"

A long, rocky dragon charged in with tremendous force, snapping more than a dozen trees along its path.

Sensing the danger behind him, Uchiha Sora felt rather uneasy.

He realized he had been careless; his attention was drawn to the yellow earth, and he hadn't noticed the presence of anyone else.

Fortunately, Jonin are a strategic resource in any country, especially in the Anbu, where the number of Jonin is even smaller. Essentially, joining the Anbu requires hiding in the shadows, while most Jonin hope to gain prestige by being in the light of day.

The auras behind him were all those of Chunin, within his ability to handle.

look back,

"Secret Scroll: Cyclone"

The cyclone blocked the earth and stone dragon.

Uchiha Sora could deal with the Anbu behind him in a short time, but he wasn't that accurate, because he had already completed his mission, and he was worried that Huang Tu had followed them.

As he pondered, three shuriken emerged from his sleeve; in mid-air, the jet-black shuriken turned crimson.

With a loud bang, the explosive tags on top exploded.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Uchiha Sora was nowhere to be seen.

The group of secret agents exchanged glances, and after a long while, they all disappeared into the darkness.
