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

Inside the tent, all was quiet.

Everyone else had already gone to sleep, but Uchiha Jin lay on the bed, staring blankly at the night outside through the small window.

He looked deeply moved.

Cannon fodder have absolutely no human rights!

Consider the training program for Team A in Konoha. Not only do they have Jonin as mentors, but they also have to go through things like stealing bells and doing D-rank missions in the village. Only when they have truly cultivated a strong bond with their teammates will they be able to practice on C-rank missions.

And what about Class B?

No hair at all!

A cannon fodder chunin as an instructor? Stealing the bell is out of the question!

If you still can't get the bell, will they send you back to school?

Want to eat fart!

Squads like theirs are cannon fodder, sent here to die.

There was no bond or trust between them; instead, they were constantly scheming and deceiving each other!

Thinking about all the mess he'd encountered every day since leaving the village, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Seriously, this is a headache!

For a cannon fodder squad like this, surviving until the end of the great war is extremely difficult.

What about now?

They sent that piece of shit, Ishikawa Itsuki, back again. Just thinking about it gave Uchiha Jin a terrible headache.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After a quick breakfast, the group got up and Shin Kudo spoke up.

"Our mission this time is to head to the 27th outpost on the left side of the Land of Whirlpools."

"We need to closely monitor the situation on the sea during this trip. Once we spot the fog, we must immediately send a signal."

"Then we'll find a way to delay the enemy and buy time for our headquarters."

"set off!"

After briefly explaining the mission, Shin Kudo took the lead and headed out of the front-line camp.

Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama exchanged a glance, and then, without saying a word, followed behind Kudo Shin.

Only Ishikawa Itsuki.

He could naturally sense that he didn't fit in with this team.

But instead of looking for the reasons within himself, the proud man directly blamed his teammates.

He believed that these guys were the ones holding him back; otherwise, he would have made significant contributions during the last encounter with Kirigakure, and might have been able to exchange ninjutsu at the front-line camp a few days ago.

And now?

Not only did they gain nothing, they were also investigated by the secret service.

It's all these guys' fault!

He gave the three of them a venomous look, snorted coldly, and followed them.

The group of four moved extremely fast.

Since they were all ninjas, they naturally couldn't walk, but instead used the large trees in the forest to move quickly.

About half a day later.

The group arrived at the mission location, which consisted of only a simple wooden hut built on the trunk of a large, sturdy tree.

Staying in this wooden house, you can see the sea through layers of leaves without revealing your location.

"Alright, keep alert."

“We need to split into two groups, one for daytime and one for nighttime. I’ll be in one group with Uchiha Jin, and Nara Kazama and Ishikawa Itsuki will be in the other.”

"Now, Jin and I will rest. You two are in charge of keeping watch."

"We'll switch shifts when it gets tonight."

No one had any objections to Shin Kudo's arrangements.

Even Ishikawa Itsuki only nodded coldly.

Obviously.

Having learned his lesson once, he at least wouldn't dare to openly refuse.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin naturally stopped wasting words.

She only gave Nara Kazama a look, and after seeing him nod slightly, she felt relieved and went back to the cabin to rest.

Yes.

He truly didn't believe Ishikawa Itsuki.

The cold, resentful look in that guy's eyes when he looked at everyone last night is still flashing through his mind.

We naturally need to be extra careful around this bastard.

Kazama Nara is certainly not stupid.

Even though Uchiha Jin didn't say anything, he instantly understood everything.

……

Days passed by, and six days went by in the blink of an eye.

only.

Everything was calm and peaceful.

They couldn't detect Wuyin's presence, which made them somewhat puzzled.

If they hadn't previously been ambushed by the Hidden Mist Village, they would have thought the village's intelligence was wrong.

Is Kirigakure still coming?

In particular, Uchiha Jin.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong!

Unlike others, he knew the actual situation.

Shisui had specifically told him that Kirigakure had already declared war on Konoha.

His memories from his previous life also told him that Kirigakure did indeed participate in the Third Shinobi World War, and it was during this time that Might Guy's Eight Gates technique became famous.

and so.

The calmer things were, the more uneasy he felt.

During the handover.

When it was time for the handover, he specifically sought out Nara Kazama.

"Be careful."

"I feel like something's not right. There's definitely going to be a tough battle ahead."

"Be careful, don't die!"

Nara Kazama paused for a moment.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and nodded solemnly to indicate that he understood.

Obviously.

He is not stupid.

Since Uchiha Jin said that, he must have realized something.

The two had known each other for quite some time, and he was naturally inclined to believe Uchiha Jin's assessment.

This day, late at night.

While Uchiha Jin was fast asleep, Nara Kazama woke him and Kudo Shin up.

"There is a situation."

"Fog has risen in the woods; I suspect it's a fog concealment technique."

After Shin Kudo and Jin Uchiha got up, they immediately looked outside the wooden house.

indeed.

Just as Nara Kazama said, the entire forest was completely shrouded in thick fog, and Uchiha Jin frowned slightly upon seeing this.

They did not see any unusual activity on the sea.
