The Great Hero Uchiha

All we can do now is report the intelligence and have the higher-ups select other Chunin teams capable of handling the mission.

After leaving the outpost, the two sides tacitly separated, clearly not wanting to have too much interaction, to avoid the pain of suddenly receiving news of each other's death after becoming too familiar with each other. They returned to the base camp via different routes, and then the three of them reported the mission situation to the administration department.

Although the mission failed, I still received a C-level mission rating as a reward.

In addition, a corresponding record will be left on the three people's files. It will not say that the mission failed, but will only explain in detail the cause and effect of the mission and the final result. This will be a stain that is not considered a stain, since only ninja files that failed to complete the mission normally will have such a record.

The next day, they received a new mission, which was still a blocking mission, which shows how tense the situation was at the front.

After all, under normal circumstances, ninjas would get some rest time after completing a mission.

Having experienced the failure of the last mission, Sarutobi Asuma's fighting spirit became even stronger this time.

Uchiha Miyuki glanced at the terrain, which was even more complex than before, and couldn't figure out where the enemy would come from. He could only focus his attention on Sarutobi Asuma.

Sarutobi Asuma silently studied the map for a moment before slowly speaking, "This area is relatively lacking in water resources. This is basically the only place where we can obtain clean water. If we don't replenish our supplies here, we'll have to travel for another day to find new water resources. The other side certainly won't give up this opportunity to obtain water resources."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded in agreement, but still felt that this alone was a bit of a stretch.

"reason."

Before Sarutobi Asuma could speak, Kurenai Yuhi spoke first.

"According to intelligence, the enemy previously passed through the defense network in this area to reach this area. A quick look at the map reveals that there is no water supply in the area the enemy previously passed through. Based on the normal water storage capacity of Sunagakure's water jugs, the enemy should now be experiencing a water shortage."

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the enemy deliberately prepared water jugs that could store more water when choosing this route.

Even so, this is the most likely place where the enemy would obtain water.

All right--

You guys are amazing.

After Kurenai Yuhi explained, Miyuki Uchiha finally realized that the enemy's tracks could be deduced in this way.

37. Do what you are capable of.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Miyuki found a blind spot.

Although Water Release ninjas are rare in the Land of Wind, that doesn't mean they don't exist, and the nature transformation of chakra can also be trained.

"What if the enemy team has ninjas who can use Water Release techniques?"

Sarutobi Asuma hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The probability is very small, but it is not impossible. The fact that the enemy would choose such a water-poor area means that there is a water-style ninja in their team."

Seeing Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi deep in thought, Miyuki Uchiha's thoughts drifted to another matter.

Generally speaking, only ninjas who reach the level of Special Jonin will attempt to train in other chakra nature transformations and master a new chakra nature transformation. Just like Uchiha Miyuki's training in his innate fire-style chakra nature transformation was extremely difficult. Although Uchiha Miyuki was a ninja of the Uchiha clan, his talent in chakra directly lowered the bar for the entire clan.

In fact, it could be said that if his only Fire Release nature transformation were any weaker, he would have had to find a way to learn the Eight Gates from Might Guy's father!

Rock Lee cannot use ninjutsu because he was born without chakra nature transformation, which also means that his talent in ninjutsu is almost zero.

Uchiha Miyuki's initial situation was almost identical to Rock Lee's. However, he was born with a strong sense of self-awareness, so at the age of three, he began to try to train his chakra by secretly learning from others. At that time, he realized his problem and began to focus on training his chakra nature transformation, trying to slowly work his way up over time. But even so, he could not change the situation.

After all, it is extremely difficult for even a special Jonin, or even a Jonin or Kage-level ninja to start from scratch and master a chakra nature transformation.

Not to mention that he wasn't even a genin at the time.

He had always thought that he was just naturally gifted, but after absorbing a lot of relevant knowledge from the Ninja Academy, he began to doubt whether his mental strength was too great, which caused this situation.

After all, he has been able to think normally since birth and possesses the intelligence of an adult.

The energy that supports this function certainly doesn't appear out of thin air; it must have a source. That is, it must be the energy that is overdrawn from the energy needed for growth in other areas to replenish the brain, which is why it suppresses its talents in various aspects. As for getting more energy from the outside world? Absolutely not... An infant's physical functions are limited. No matter how much they eat, there is ultimately a limit to the energy they can take in.

This led to him—

Whether it's chakra reserves, the degree of nature transformation, or taijutsu skills...

In all these aspects, they are far inferior to members of the Uchiha clan, and even inferior to ordinary ninjas.

Normally speaking—

Someone with such talent could never become a ninja, yet he relied on his adult-like wisdom from a young age to enter the ninja a year early, and through his own efforts, he turned the impossible into possible. And after awakening his Sharingan, he understood...

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

His immense mental power suppressed his potential in other areas, but it gave him unparalleled talent in illusion magic.

If it weren't for the existence of a reincarnation of Indra within the Uchiha clan, he would be the strongest bloodline ninja in the current Uchiha clan.

If he had been born after Madara Uchiha's death, Sasuke Uchiha would have been out of the picture. Just based on his innate adult-like mental strength, he would have been chosen by Indra's chakra to become the next Indra reincarnation, and he wouldn't have these weaknesses now.

The chakra that Indra left in the Uchiha clan's bloodline was enough to make up for these deficiencies.

however……

When he was born, Madara Uchiha was still alive, thus losing the chance to be chosen by Indra's chakra.

Just then, Sarutobi Asuma sighed, waking Uchiha Miyuki from his memories. Sarutobi Asuma shook his head and said, "If the other side doesn't go to search for water, then we'll have to conduct a large-scale search. This area is all dense forest, and it's hard to deduce any other information besides water."

Kurenai Yuhi also shook her head, clearly unable to come up with any other solutions.

"Apart from this water resource, I also cannot deduce the direction the enemy might be heading."

Uchiha Miyuki thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Then let's try our luck at the water resources department."

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head, directly rejecting Uchiha Miyuki's suggestion to rely on luck. Although he was the one who came up with the suggestion, he had overlooked the possibility that the enemy might use water jutsu based on past experience. "This time we might be able to complete the mission by luck, but what about next time? We still have some time. Let's go and consult with the Jonin in the camp."

"Row."

Uchiha Miyuki would not deliberately disrupt the process to cause the mission to fail.

Whether he likes it or not, he is now a ninja.

Since you're a ninja, you should do what a ninja is supposed to do.

Moreover, only by accumulating enough experience can one avoid exposing too many flaws due to a lack of experience when facing similar situations in the future, which is also a way to become stronger.

His previous cautiousness was not cowardice, but simply a way to better protect his life. The education he received before transmigrating taught him that when he was still weak, to save his life, he should only do what he was capable of and what he was confident in, without overly showing off.

That's why he didn't use the secrets he had access to do anything, because those things were too risky for him at the moment and beyond his capabilities.

Do what you are capable of.

Right now, he's just a Chunin whose overall strength is still at the bottom of the rankings. His most important task is to improve his strength and try his best to survive on the battlefield... As for whether Danzo has already set his sights on the Uchiha clan? Is Madara Uchiha now targeting Obito Uchiha? Is Sasori of the Red Sand still within the Land of Wind?

These are matters that a Chunin should not be involved in; to rashly get involved would be tantamount to suicide.

If he possessed Jonin-level strength now, he would definitely be thinking about Danzo's situation and how to prevent the future massacre of the Uchiha clan. If he had Kage-level strength, he would definitely use the information he possessed to find a way to become Hokage. If he had Six Paths-level strength, he would definitely try to seal Black Zetsu to prevent Kaguya Otsutsuki from being resurrected.

38. You remind me of the fear of being dominated by math problems.

As the three were pondering which Jonin to consult, they unexpectedly discovered that Akika was actually at the camp.

"Teacher Qiu Huo".

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Akika looked at the three of them, appearing somewhat hurried, clearly still busy with something else. However, he stopped and patiently advised them, "I already know about the failure of the last mission. That wasn't your fault. You're not really capable of dealing with enemies with sensory ninjas right now, so there's no need to worry too much about it."

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head and spoke.

"We're not here for that. We've received a new mission and we're a bit unsure about the route the enemy might take."

Unbeknownst to Qiu Huo, a look of apology flashed across her face upon hearing this.

As a team leader, he was clearly unqualified. For three years, he was busy with his own tasks and didn't have much time to teach the three students.

"Tell me about the mission scroll and your analysis."

Before the three could speak, Qiu Huo frowned after glancing at the mission scroll.

"How did this task get assigned to you?"

The three were somewhat puzzled, clearly not knowing why Chika would say such a thing.

Unbeknownst to Qiu Huo, he was frowning.

"You were just asking for advice on where the enemy might appear besides the water source area, right?"

The three nodded.

Qiu Huo sighed.

"This problem is basically unsolvable. Even I have no way to determine it. Generally, missions in this kind of area are assigned to teams that are good at large-scale reconnaissance, or teams with sensory ninjas or Byakugan. Only such teams can find the enemy's traces in this kind of terrain."

Sarutobi Asuma asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Let's ambush at the water source. That's the most likely point of attack for the enemy. We can also try our luck with the ninja crows. If we don't find any enemies within two days, it means they've already entered the rear from other directions... So be it if we fail! This mission is simply not suitable for your squad."

At this point, Qiu Huo paused for a moment before speaking.

"Wait a moment, I'll go see if I can change your mission."

After a while, Qiu Huo returned, shook his head at the three of them, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"We can't replace it. You can try your luck over there."

Sarutobi Asuma responded with a somewhat dejected tone.

"okay……"

The three checked their supplies and then headed towards the mission location.

On the way, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were somewhat distracted, clearly dissatisfied with this gamble-like approach, and were still thinking about how to find the enemy's trail.

Uchiha Miyuki tried to think about it, but ultimately gave up.

After all, he couldn't even deduce the clue about the water source immediately. It was only after Kurenai Yuhi pointed it out that he understood why they chose to ambush at the water source. This has nothing to do with intelligence; it's just a matter of strengths and weaknesses. Just like scientists and detectives, it's not necessarily that one is smarter than the other; they just have different strengths.

Half a day later, the three arrived at the water source, but still couldn't come up with any other solutions.

Both of them looked somewhat dejected.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Miyuki, following Shiranui Akika's advice, dispersed the ninja crows, hoping to find the enemy by chance.

After a long while, Sarutobi Asuma suddenly remembered something. He took out the quest scroll and examined it carefully. Then he took out a map and started gesturing on it. After a while, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly said to the two, "I know! They should be in this area right now—"
