I became the head of the Uchiha clan

The cave Hinata found was really good and relatively secluded. Uchiha Fugaku walked into the cave and opened his Sharingan to look at the entire cave.

Deep in the cave, Fugaku found traces of burning fires, indicating that ninjas had temporarily lived in the cave before.

Fugaku walked over and carefully inspected the traces left by the ashes.

"Evacuate the cave for the time being," Uchiha Fugaku said: "This is probably a temporary stronghold for ninjas from other countries. Someone has lived here more than once, and it has been in the past few days."

"Captain, what's going on?" Satomaru said, "Is there any clue left by the enemy?"

Satomaru had already followed Uchiha Fugaku on a mission, and he knew that Fugaku never liked joking during missions.

Hinata Ning looked at Uchiha Fugaku with some doubts in his eyes. He couldn't figure out whether the other party was deliberately going against him or whether he had really discovered some clues.

"It can be seen through the burning ashes," Uchiha Fugaku said: "The traces left by the other party have many irregular light-colored marks on the edge of the ashes, indicating that someone lit the fire in the same place more than once, but lit it several times.

A slight deviation in the position will cause burning marks of different shades.

The darkest color indicates that the ignition time is closer. I just felt it with my hands to see if the temperature has completely cooled down. The other party may have lit the fire here last night."

Ri Xiangning walked toward the fire deep in the cave, opened his white eyes to explore, and even stretched out his hand to test it.

"There is indeed a trace of residual warmth," Ri Xiangning said: "Judging from the fire and the traces left by the opponent, the number of people should be about the same as ours. There is no need to deal with the opponent here and catch the opponent by surprise with a sneak attack.

Fugaku shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. There are no weak people who can form a team to perform tasks in the Land of Rain. I don't want to reduce any additional members before completing the task."

If you set up a series of traps here, the amount of damage you can cause to the opponent depends entirely on the opponent's luck and strength."

Several people nodded, and no one refuted Fugaku's words. Ninjas still focus on their missions, and no one knows the strength of the upcoming enemy. If it is a famous strongman in the ninja world, the entire Konoha ninja army may be annihilated.

Every mission released during the war is not simple. A problem in one link may cause problems in several consecutive links.

The team spread out and deployed detonating devices everywhere. Uchiha Fugaku also placed a detonating talisman under the ashes.

If the opponent ignites the fire directly, the detonating talisman under the ashes will be detonated, and the entire cave will be destroyed.

Nozawa left a few parasitic bugs outside the cave to monitor the movements of people. If a ninja from Konoha came, the parasitic bugs would stop them.

The team continued to move forward, looking for a second place to stay.

The few people walked for more than ten minutes, and continuous explosions came from the rear. The trap worked, but I don't know how many enemies died.

Several people looked back and saw that the smoke from the explosion covered the sky, and several parasites flew from a distance and landed in Nozawa's hands.

"It's Sunagakure. Nine people went in and six came out." Nozawa said.

Fugaku nodded and said: "The enemy is not simple. The detonating symbols were so dense in the cave that only three people were buried. We don't know whether they are dead or alive."

With such a powerful ninja team, and the strength of Uchiha Fugaku's eight-man team, they are no match for even a sneak attack.

In the Kingdom of Rain, the fighting will only decrease at night, and ninjas from all countries will find a hiding place for a short rest.

Uchiha Fugaku and his party took advantage of the darkness and did not encounter ninjas from other countries. They found a cave to rest for the night and continued on their way early the next morning.

Fugaku took out the mission map again and said: "There is a valley in the mountains ahead. The Sunagakure stronghold we are looking for is here. The situation of the stronghold is unknown. Nozawa and Hinata Nei are responsible for investigating the situation of the stronghold.

There are three passages in the valley. The others were divided into three groups and observed Sunagakure coming for supplies from three directions. They gathered here three days later to determine the action plan.

Satomaru, Haranoki, Qiusawa Ono are in a group, Yamada Shinji is in a group, and Koda Maru is in a group. I am in a group by myself. Let’s take action now.”

Haranogi and Qiusawa Ohno were not very strong, but Satomaru's presence could increase their strength. Moreover, there was always a teammate who was suspected of being an ANBU member of Konoha following him. Fugaku always felt a little unhappy.

Yamada Shinji is pretty good, and with the help of Yukuda Maru, he can handle some minor troubles.

The country of rain has rugged mountains and rocks, and the rain is a good hiding place. Fugaku hid his body among the rocks. At least he had a place to shelter from the rain. Unless a ninja with extremely strong senses could find him.

,

His location was in the northwest direction of the valley. Most of the Suna ninjas who came from this direction to supply supplies were those who fought against the Iwa ninjas.

By observing the movements of Sand Ninja, one can also roughly estimate the strength of Iwa Ninja within a certain range.

The three magatama rotated rapidly, and the scarlet sharingan scanned the surrounding area. There was no suspicious target. The three magatama disappeared, and the sharingan returned to its normal state.

The sound of rain hitting the ground can obscure the sound of people walking, and the ninja's footsteps are very light. The only way to tell whether someone is passing by is through the eyes.

During the day, a total of twenty ninjas who passed by Uchiha Fugaku and entered the valley for supplies were divided into three teams, two teams of six people and one team of eight people.

There are two teams of ninjas going out from here, one team of eight people and one team of nine people. The nine-man team did not enter the valley today for supplies. The two teams of 12 people who entered today stayed in the valley to rest.

After a day of observation, Fugaku frowned. The task was not easy. It was estimated that there were many teams going in from the other two directions to rest.

The resident ninjas in the valley are not yet known. There is at least one supply team in each direction, and each team has at least six people.

Uchiha Fugaku re-examined this mission, and could only wait for three days to thoroughly investigate the opponent's situation before making another plan.

The sky was getting darker and darker, the rain in the sky was gradually decreasing, and Sunagakure's supply point also fell into silence. Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes and rested, and began to rest.

A burst of footsteps woke Uchiha Fugaku. He looked towards the entrance of the valley in the distance and saw two teams of nine people walking out of the valley.

Uchiha Fugaku recognized the twelve people among them. They were the two teams of Suna ninja who stayed in the valley to rest yesterday. They regrouped today and became two teams of nine ninjas.

Fugaku even suspected that the original two teams were composed of nine people, but during the battle with the Iwa Ninja, three people from each team were killed.

Sunagakure and Iwagakure fought, and the two countries also fought against Konoha. Each of the three countries was an enemy.

The melee of the Three Kingdoms does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and with the addition of the Kingdom of Rain, the melee of the Four Kingdoms ultimately involves a competition of overall national strength to see who can persevere to the end.
