The Land of Fire has a relatively flat and open terrain.
The resources are extremely abundant.
It is said that it was because Hashirama Senju used Wood Release that he created vast forests.
As time goes on, the gap between the Land of Fire and other countries will widen.
The fact that he could win against four opponents in Third Shinobi World War was not only because Minato Namikaze was a genius who surpassed his era.
This is also due to the fact that their resources and foundation are far superior to those of other ninja villages.
Uya and Might Duy continued forward, and after leaving Konoha, they passed through mostly jungles.
The scenery only began to change slightly as we moved further away from Konoha.
Forests are decreasing.
But there are still many.
It's infinitely better than Iwagakure in the Land of Earth or Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.
The mission that Uya and Might Duy are about to undertake is to track and investigate a suspected caravan.
The caravan's movements were a bit strange, so Konoha took notice of them.
However, simply setting an example doesn't mean you can immediately send a large force to attack; you must first conduct reconnaissance and confirm its identity.
Otherwise, if a large force were dispatched at the slightest suspicion, the Land of Fire would have been in chaos long ago.
Uya and Might Duy don't need to fight; they only need to track and scout.
If any problems are found with the caravan, report them immediately.
However, although this mission does not require combat, whether or not a battle will actually occur is not something that Uya and Might Duy can decide.
If that caravan really was sent by an enemy village and contained a large number of ninja assassins, then Uya and Might Duy could be attacked at any time.
That's why this task is quite special. After some deliberation, although it was still classified as a C-level task, the reward was comparable to that of B-Rank Mission.
Uya and Might Duy continued their journey.
A few days later, the two appeared in a small town that was quite far from Konoha.
They all changed into casual clothes and dressed up as ordinary people.
The last intelligence indicated that the caravan stopped in this small town.
When Uya and Might Duy arrived, it was just as the caravan was preparing to set off.
The two of them naturally followed discreetly.
Meanwhile, they were secretly observing the caravan's situation.
The caravan seemed flawless; none of the dozens of people showed any unusual behavior, and they all appeared to be ordinary people.
But after following them for a while, Uya gradually noticed something amiss.
There's something wrong with this caravan.
Uya spoke softly, but her tone was very firm.
Did you find anything?
Might Duy looked at Uya with a slight doubt, not understanding why Uya was so certain.
Might Duy is very strong, but he is weak in other areas, such as reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.
This is one of the reasons why he was always a Genin.
Of course, the more important thing is that no one knows Might Duy's true strength.
"Did you notice? This caravan seems to be made up entirely of ordinary people."
Uya's eyes gleamed as he looked at the caravan ahead and spoke softly.
"What's there to doubt?"
Might Duy was still confused. They all looked like ordinary people, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Uya shook his head seriously and said, "No, that's actually the abnormal part!"
" The Shinobi World is in chaos right now, with wars happening everywhere... Under these circumstances, how could a caravan like this not hire ninjas for protection?"
The caravan ahead numbered twenty or thirty people, making it no longer a small caravan.
How dare such a team act so boldly and recklessly in this chaotic world?
The very fact that everyone looks like an ordinary person is what makes this team problematic!
Might Duy wasn't good at investigative judgment, but that didn't mean he was stupid.
Upon hearing Uya's words, he immediately realized what was going on.
"You mean..."
"That's right. Since they all look like ordinary people, the truth should be quite the opposite. Among these guys, there's at least one elite ninja unit hidden!"
Uya was absolutely certain.
Because at this point, the caravan was not traveling on the main road, but rather on a side road.
A caravan made entirely of ordinary people daring to take back roads is even more suspicious.
"Hiss! A squad of elite ninjas has secretly infiltrated the Land of Fire. This is no small matter!"
Might Duy gasped, his expression turning incredibly serious.
"Yes, we don't know their purpose, but confirming their identities is enough."
Uya nodded as well.
Might Duy nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, our mission was reconnaissance, which is now considered complete, but how to submit the mission report is a problem..."
Might Duy said with a slight headache, "We can't just leave them alone. If they suddenly disappear or go into hiding, that would be a big problem. We have to keep an eye on them."
"How about this, Uya, you go back alone and relay the information back to the village, and I'll continue to follow you, okay?"
Hearing Might Duy's words, Uya suddenly shook his head.
His lips twitched slightly.
"It's no longer needed."
"Why?"
"They've found us."
"Oh... wait?! What did you say?!"
Might Duy gasped in surprise, nearly jumping up.
Uya, however, wore a helpless expression.
Might Duy was really bad at these kinds of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance things, leaving too many traces during the tracking.
Although Uya had been helping, she had still been exposed.
However, this also shows that the guys in that caravan were definitely not ordinary ninjas.
At this moment, the caravan ahead had stopped, and some of the figures inside looked back with cold eyes.
Whoosh!!
Several seemingly ordinary people suddenly displayed extraordinary speed.
This also completely exposed the identity of the caravan.
As expected, they were hiding an elite ninja unit skilled at concealing their identities!
The caravan consisted of about thirty people, including some ordinary people and about ten ninjas.
"What to do?!"
Might Duy watched as those people unleashed their speed and charged towards them, and immediately looked at Uya.
Judging from their movement speed, they must all be Elite Chunin!
This is an elite unit composed of Elite Chunin, so the leader should be a Jonin.
" Uya, how about I cover you while you retreat first?"
Might Duy's eyes showed no fear, but rather a slight worry as he looked at Uya.
He knew that Uya was quite strong, but his understanding of Uya was still based on the time before Uya defeated Uchiha Kan.
When Uya opened the Second Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation, he had already begun carrying out various missions.
"No need for all that trouble. Since they're here, let's just kill them all."
Uya stretched his limbs and said in a serious tone.
