I became the head of the Uchiha clan

In the early morning, outside Konoha Village, black shadows flashed past and stopped in a forest outside the village. Fugaku and several Uchiha clan members also arrived one after another.

There are already many ninjas in the forest, including ninjas from all families in Konoha, especially the three clans of Hinata, Inuzuka and Aburame who focus on reconnaissance.

Now that the Three Kingdoms are fighting in the Kingdom of Rain, reconnaissance ninjas can indeed play a big role in discovering enemies in advance and reducing losses.

Silhouettes appeared one after another in the forest. The weakest of each silhouette was an elite chuunin. The proud Uchiha also calmed down their mentality. These people are the elite of Konoha.

"There are quite a few forward troops this time," Uchiha Jin next to Fugaku said, "The situation in the Land of Rain may be worse than we imagined."

Fugaku nodded and said: "Hanzo has the title of demigod in the ninja world. The Country of Rain can be regarded as the most powerful country among the five foreign countries. If we did not send out elites, the two countries of Wind and Earth would have been driven out of the Country of Rain."

A figure with long white hair and a short sword appeared in the forest, interrupting people's conversations. The person exuded a powerful aura and showed off his sharp edge.

Uchiha Fugaku knew that Hatake Sakumo had arrived, and the ninjas gathered in twos and threes consciously lined up in several columns and looked straight ahead.

Hatake Sakumo's reputation in the village is not low. Hatake's swordsmanship has been famous in the ninja world since the Warring States Period. Hatake Sakumo is even more outstanding and is more famous in Konoha than the three disciples of the Third Generation.

Ninjas all worship the strong, good or bad. Among the ninjas in the vanguard, there are many admirers of Hatake Sakumo.

"Let's start assigning teams," Hatake Sakumo's voice came out: "I will only give you six days for the cooperation between the teams. After six days, you will gather at the location marked on the map."

Several black shadows flashed past, and several ninjas appeared in the forest, giving each ninja a task list.

Uchiha Fugaku took the list, with the numbers and his two teammates written on it.

Task List: No. 013

Captain: Uchiha Fugaku.

Team members: Aburame Nozawa, Sato Maru.

Mission objective: Go to the Land of Rain and kill three ninjas from other countries.

At the bottom of the task list, the location of this gathering is marked, a mountain forest in the Kingdom of Rain.

Fugaku didn't know if all missions required entering the Land of Rain to kill ninjas from other countries, but he could understand Sakumo Hatake's intention in issuing missions.

Ninjas pay attention to team fighting, and a team without the slightest tacit understanding will only hinder the team. The task list does not indicate whether the ninja killed is a jounin or a chuunin, but it is hoped that the team can run into the team through fighting.

Uchiha Fugaku also saw another meaning. This was an assessment conducted by Hatake Sakumo on each jounin team. Those who had strong confidence in their own strength would choose others first even if they did not specify a target to kill.

The king's ninja.

As the son of the patriarch of the Uchiha family, Fugaku's honor does not allow him to just kill three chuunin. It is best to meet the jounin team.

"Captain, I am Aburame Nozawa." A slightly taller ninja, wearing black sunglasses and covering his head in a hood, came over and said, "I'm better at controlling bugs."

Aburame Nozawa stretched out her right hand, and several parasites were crawling on it.

"Captain, I am Sato Maru, a Konoha chunin. I am good at fire escape and sword skills."

An ordinary-looking ninja walked over.

Fugaku nodded. He had never underestimated anyone. He was able to become a chuunin and was sent to the forward force by the Third Hokage. No matter how ordinary he looked, he himself would not be ordinary.

"Okay, I'm Uchiha Fugaku," Fugaku looked at his two teammates and said, "I'm good at Sharingan illusion and fire escape."

The three teammates each talked about their areas of expertise, which are essential for teamwork.

Fugaku handed the task list to two teammates and said: "The task is to rush to the Land of Rain and kill three ninjas from other countries. The strength of the ninjas is not indicated."

The two nodded, their eyes changed slightly, and they probably guessed the true purpose of the mission.

The various teams in the forest gathered quickly, and figures disappeared into the woods one after another.

"Fugaku, see you in the Land of Rain," Uchiha Jin's voice came: "Let's take a step first."

Uchiha Jin disappeared into the woods with two teammates.

"Let's set off," Uchiha Fugaku said, "We will plan how to complete the mission when we arrive at the Land of Rain."

"yes"

The three figures disappeared from the same place at the same time, advancing through the forests of the Country of Fire.

The three of them were not very fast, and they were all observing each other, hoping to deepen their understanding of their teammates by observing each other. After all, this was their first time forming a team.

Uchiha Fugaku's energy is mainly focused on Satomaru. He is quite familiar with the Aburame clan, including various insect control techniques.

The more he observed Satomaru, the more he realized that this person was not a simple person. Whether he was on the road or stationed for a rest, he always showed a sense of caution. Fugaku guessed that the man might have stayed in Konoha ANBU for some time before.

It's probably not a coincidence that he was assigned to his own team. The Third Hokage wanted to win over him. Only by placing trustworthy people around him for observation could he determine whether it was worth winning over.

It took the three of them three days to arrive at the Land of Rain. The continuous drizzle continued to hit the three of them. Although Fugaku didn't like to perform tasks on rainy days, he probably wouldn't be able to return to the Land of Rain in a short time after this trip to the Land of Rain.

Konoha.

Once the subsequent ninja war breaks out, it will last for several years.

"I have been on a mission in the Land of Rain before, and I am quite familiar with the terrain here. I will first find a cave to take shelter from the rain," Uchiha Fugaku said, "Nozawa, can your parasites be released in rainy weather?

"

"I will use tonight to cultivate parasitic insects that are more resistant to rain," Nozawa said calmly: "I had guessed before that I would go to the Country of Rain to perform a mission, and I already have a direction for cultivating them."

Fugaku nodded. The Country of Rain is mountainous and the plants are not dense. It didn't take long to find a relatively clean cave. This was one of the places where he stayed during his last mission. He was hidden in the cave.

The place is marked.

The cave was relatively dark. The three people lit up a bonfire and sat around the fire. Fugaku set a trap at the entrance of the cave. Anyone who came would alert Fugaku regardless of whether they cracked the trap or not.

"We only have three days to carry out the mission," Uchiha Fugaku said: "As Konoha's elite ninja, using the Chuunin team and the Genin team to complete the mission is an insult to our team. They can be killed, but they cannot be used as mission targets.

Our first target is the jounin squads of various countries. Now there is a melee between multiple countries. Killing the jounin squads can not only prove the strength of the squad, but also effectively weaken the strength of other countries.

Nozawa, tomorrow we will send out parasitic bugs to look for teams from other countries, and we will send back the information no matter whether we encounter a Jonin team or not."
