Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

"Because my father would never lie to me."

Uchiha Jin remained calm.

As I stared at Nara Kazama, my brain started racing.

He truly hadn't expected Kazama Nara to be in this situation.

As for lying?

impossible!

As a traditional Nara, we wouldn't tell such an easily exposed lie.

After a long silence, he finally spoke softly.

"I can't try."

"I can't take hardship, I'm just a useless Uchiha."

"If I suddenly became hardworking, or even a genius, some people might lose their appetite."

"As a cannon fodder ninja, I have to live up to my trash persona!"

"You're a smart person, so I don't need to say more."

Nara Kazama smiled.

Yes.

You don't need to say much; he'll figure it out on his own.

He understood the Uchiha's situation, as long as he understood that.

He could naturally guess most of Uchiha Jin's thoughts.

“You’ve done a great job of disguising yourself!” Nara Kazama laughed. “I’ve never paid any attention to you during these years at school.”

“I was sent here by Nara Shikaku. He wanted me to see what kind of person you are.”

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the three Uchiha who died."

“My uncle must have his eye on you.”

"But don't worry."

"The Nara clan is cautious in its actions and will not easily provoke enemies for the clan, let alone enemies like the Uchiha."

Even after it's confirmed, he'll still secretly invest in you.

"The Nara clan does not put all their eggs in one basket."

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was right; his explanation had indeed not fooled Nara Shikaku.

This stirred a murderous intent in him, but he quickly concealed it.

The Nara clan has a long history, and although they cannot compare to the Uchiha, they are not to be trifled with.

Not to mention.

Just as Nara Kazama said, Nara Shikaku had no ill intentions towards him; otherwise, he could have exposed him back in the Hokage's office.

"Oh I got it."

Uchiha Jin took a deep breath, then said nothing more and headed straight for the front-line camp.

Nara Kazama followed him for a long time before finally unable to hold back his complaints.

"Jin-kun, are you really an Uchiha?" Nara Kazama said, "You don't act like an Uchiha at all."

"When you were born in the hospital, was it possible that you were switched at birth?"

"You're more like Nara than Nara!"

Uchiha Jin's lips twitched.

He truly hadn't expected Nara Kazama to say that.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

After shaking his head helplessly, he finally spoke in a low, melancholic tone.

"You're overthinking it. I have the Sharingan."

"Okay, go back."

There's no need to hide such a small matter.

After all, with Nara Kazama's intelligence, he could have guessed it even without being told.

More importantly, he now genuinely has the idea of ​​trying to win over Nara Kazama.

This guy is quite capable; he's definitely a genius.

The key is that you have a good brain!

With him by my side offering advice and strategies, I can move forward more steadily in the future.

of course.

There's plenty of time; there's no need to rush.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing Uchiha Jin's words, he also had an expression that said, "I knew it."

……

evening.

The night was as dark as ink, and the full moon hung high in the sky.

The front-line camp was quiet, with hardly anyone out except for the patrolling ninjas.

An uninvited guest has arrived at the camp of Uchiha Jin's team.

"An investigation by the secret service revealed that Ishikawa Itsuki disobeyed orders, which led to the failure of the Seventh Squad's mission."

"The facts are irrefutable and cannot be refuted."

"However, considering that we are at war, Ishikawa Itsuki is allowed to return to his original squad to atone for his crimes."

"This is your new mission. Start immediately tomorrow morning!"

The ninja beside Miyamoto Yukie handed a mission scroll to Kudo Shin, then turned and left.

Inside the tent, all was silent.

Everyone looked at Ishikawa Itsuki in front of them, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

It's numb and tingling.

We brought this thing back again!

The expressions on everyone's faces were generally not pleasant.

After all, the matter of reporting Ishikawa Itsuki had already caused a complete breakdown in relations between them.

This……

How will their team coordinate in the next operation?

Shin Kudo's face was grim.

Although he was very unhappy, he really couldn't refuse the arrangement made by his superiors.

He glanced at Ishikawa Itsuki before speaking coldly.

"I hope you can learn from this lesson and not cause trouble for everyone again."

"We still have tasks to complete tomorrow, so everyone should get some rest."

After finishing speaking.

Kudo Shin lay down on the folding bed to rest. Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama exchanged a glance, shook their heads helplessly, and then went to rest as well.

Ishikawa Itsuki's face was grim.

His eyes were filled with anger and resentment, especially when he looked at Nara Kazama and Uchiha Jin.

Yes.

He didn't think he was wrong; on the contrary, he thought it was because the two people hadn't cooperated with him properly.

I'm in the top three of my class, how could I be saved by two bottom students?

"A bunch of bastards!"

"It must be their fault, otherwise how could I have failed?"

"Just you wait, I will never let you get away with this!"
