Showing Weakness?

"Damn it! They're actually planning to infiltrate the Land of Water to gather intelligence!"

Upon realizing that the Stream and Pinewood had disappeared before his eyes, Uchiha Yue was first surprised, and then his anger turned into rage.

At this moment, Uchiha Yue finally understood what Stream and Pinewood were thinking. Clearly, they had no intention of trusting Uchiha Yue at all, and had long been preparing to secretly infiltrate the Land of Water. Moreover, Stream and Pinewood's pretense of recording the information Uchiha Yue had gathered yesterday was entirely intended to weaken Uchiha Yue's defenses, making it easier for them to secretly infiltrate the Land of Water.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Yue's anger was not because of Stream and Pinewood's presumptuous actions, but because he was angry that Stream and Pinewood were too naive.

It's important to understand that Uchiha Yue had long suspected what Stream and Pinewood were planning. After all, Uchiha Yue's position as Anbu captain was entirely due to Orochimaru's promotion, and he didn't yet have the authority to command respect. However, Uchiha Yue never expected Stream and Pinewood to use such a naive method against him. With the Land of Water's defenses so tight, how could two Anbu like Stream and Pinewood possibly infiltrate?

When Orochimaru assigned the task of scouting the Land of Water's hidden sentries to Uchiha Yue the others, they knew it was not a task the three of them could accomplish.

Now, with Stream and Pinewood freely seeping into the Land of Water's territory, aren't they squandering their only chance to complete the mission?

After all, if those sentries on the border of the Land of Water discover the Stream and Pinewood, then Orochimaru's mission for Uchiha Yue will fail!

"Call..."

"Getting angry here now is a complete waste of time!"

"No, I can't be angry, I have to calm down! Calm down!"

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yue tried to calm the flames of anger burning within him, his gaze turning cold. Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue had no way to stop Stream and Pinewood; he could only watch Stream two Anbu cause trouble. However, Pinewood Uchiha Yue couldn't just stand by and watch his mission Uchiha Yue. So, after calming his anger, he secretly began to think of a solution.

Right now, Uchiha Yue feels the best outcome is that the Stream and Pinewood haven't been discovered by the hidden sentries on the border of the Land of Water.

In this way, Uchiha Yue could make Stream and Pinewood behave themselves a little, since as the captain of the Anbu, he still had a certain amount of power.

If by then, if the Stream and Pinewood still don't do as Uchiha Yue instructed, then Uchiha Yue can report the matter to Orochimaru for handling.

Orochimaru will likely punish Stream and Pinewood severely for this, after all, Uchiha Yue was his handpicked captain of the Anbu!

However, if Uchiha Yue did that, his impression of Orochimaru would obviously drop several notches.

Orochimaru wanted his subordinates to complete tasks through their own abilities, not through his authority, even if the person was someone he admired, like Uchiha Yue. Therefore, Uchiha Yue felt it would be best if Stream and Pinewood obeyed his orders; otherwise, this was the only way he could resolve the matter.

However, just as Uchiha Yue was using his Purple Eye to detect the hidden sentries on the border of the Land of Water, with the best possible intentions...

Suddenly, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "Oh no!"

Indeed, the situation that currently confronts Uchiha Yue is extremely dire.

At this moment, the distribution of sentries along the border of the Land of Water is unusual, completely different from the situation yesterday when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to investigate. Clearly, the sentries Land of Water border have discovered the whereabouts Land of Water Stream and Pinewood. However, these sentries have received orders not to capture Stream and Pinewood, in order to lure out Stream person behind Pinewood. It seems that the sentries Land of Water border are also very calm, knowing that Stream and Pinewood's mission might be intended to be used as cannon fodder.

Therefore, fishing out what's behind the Stream and Pinewood is the best option.

"Those guys from Kirigakure are quite cunning!"

Seeing the intentions of the border sentries from the Land of Water, Uchiha Yue's lips curled into a cold smile. He hesitated, wondering whether to rescue Stream and Pinewood. After all, the Land of Water sentries might let Stream and Pinewood go today, likely as bait. However, things wouldn't be so simple when Stream and Pinewood went to Stream Land of Water again Pinewood to investigate. Those Land of Water sentries would definitely target them.

However, just as the thought of rescuing Stream and Pinewood appeared in Uchiha Yue's mind, Uchiha Yue suddenly remembered that he was Anbu!

Immediately afterwards...

The cold smile on Uchiha Yue's lips deepened even further!

Moreover, at this moment, Uchiha Yue coldly took out a Ninjutsu scroll and began to write something on it.

Time passed quickly, and at night, the Stream and Pinewood returned to Uchiha Yue.

However, when Uchiha Yue saw Stream and Pinewood return to her, she didn't blame them at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Seniors, you've worked hard! I wonder if you two managed to find out the distribution of Kirigakure's spies while infiltrating the Land of Water? If you successfully gathered any intelligence, could you show it to me?"

"Good!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Stream and Pinewood handed over the Uchiha Yue scrolls they were holding without hesitation.

After obtaining the intelligence scroll, Uchiha Yue actually bowed to Stream and Pinewood in gratitude. Then, clutching the scroll, Uchiha Yue vanished before them. Stream and Pinewood Stream, however, were puzzled by Uchiha Yue's attitude. Before returning, Stream had considered countless possibilities Pinewood Yue 'Pinewood Uchiha Yue, but none had expected Uchiha Yue to be so calm in the face of them.

Then, as Pinewood watched Uchiha Yue slowly disappear before his eyes, he said to the Stream beside him, "Stream, something seems wrong."

"Any problems?"

Before Pinewood could finish speaking, the Anbu named Stream sneered, "That Uchiha Yue is just lucky. He only got the position of Anbu captain by gaining Lord Orochimaru's favor. If we're talking about seniority, aren't we stronger than him? Now, we're being ordered around by a junior. I don't have the patience to tolerate a junior bossing me around! Besides, Pinewood, haven't you noticed?"

"Uchiha Yue has already shown weakness to us!"

"Without us, he would never have been able to complete the mission, understand?"

Seeing the Stream's confident expression, Pinewood couldn't help but frown slightly and remained silent.

At the same time, a thought was hidden in Pinewood's heart: there was no connection with the Stream in front of him.

As for Pinewood Kaname, is Uchiha Yue truly showing weakness?
