Once upon a time there was an Uchiha

Chapter 199 16. Cautious
Uchiha Lihuo left Matt Dai's house.

He spent a lot of time making that pill these days, and its main purpose was to keep the ghost cells inside him active.

It was enough for Matt Dai to survive as a ghostly creature after opening the door of death.

Although he will permanently lose the ability to open the eight doors, he can save his life anyway.

This can be regarded as a small reward for Dai after learning Bamen Dunjia.

……

Time flies, and it is a month in the blink of an eye.

During this month, the frontline battles in the Nation of Fire were tense, with heavy casualties. In the third generation, the major clans finally couldn't bear the pressure and dispatched most of the ninjas in the clan to the battlefield.

Uchiha Lihuo is also one of them.

Arriving at the entrance of Konoha Village, Uchiha Lihuo saw Hyugazo and Hongdou who had been waiting here early, and the three formed a team.

The reason why it is a small team is not a large team of dozens or hundreds of people.

It is because ninjas are not suitable for large-scale battles at all. Even if it is a big battle between villages, the basis of ninja combat is to carry out small teams one by one.

This is also the reason why ninja wars lasted for several years.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Uchiha Lihuo asked as the team leader: "Are you ready?"

Hyugazo and Red Bean nodded, they had already made preparations when the news of the war reached Konoha.

Uchiha Riho looked at Hinatazo and Hongdou, looking at their whole bodies.

Kunai, Bingliangwan, and detonating talisman are all carried, without omission. These are all items that must be carried in war, and they are indispensable.

Then Uchiha Riho looked at Hyugazo's long hair, and after that night's suggestion, Hyugazo gathered the loose long hair and tied it into a ponytail.

Although I don't know why Hinata Zou didn't cut his hair short, but it's good to be able to do this.

Uchiha Lihuo nodded, and the three-person team set off immediately to the border of the Fire Country.

After a week, the three came to the border between the land of fire and the land of earth, where their teacher Orochimaru led the ninja troops and stationed here.

After meeting Orochimaru, they received an order from their teacher and became an ordinary inspection team on the border.

Although the Land of Fire borders the Land of Earth, the distance between the borders is very limited, only about tens of kilometers.

The Lihuo team is in charge of some of these tens of kilometers.

After leading the team to guard the border for a month, the team led by Uchiha Lihuo was more or less stained with Iwagakushi's blood, giving him a sense of killing that had been battle-tested.

Even Hongdou, who didn't dare to kill with his own hands at first, was able to kill hostile ninjas without expression after the initial vomiting, which is a great improvement.

This also made Uchiha Lihuo lament that although they are both less than 12 years old, they have become war machines fighting on the battlefield.

Following a transfer order, the Lihuo team returned to the Konoha camp, came to the big tent in the center of the camp, and met the coach Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, who was wearing a vest, was a little less gloomy and colder, and a few months of war was enough for Orochimaru to change his identity, from a scientist who disregarded life to a general who took life and death.

When seeing the three people from Lihuo, Da Shemaru put down his military affairs and looked at the three-person team after the baptism of war.

Uchiha Lihuo's personality and behavior have not changed, but Hinata Zang and Hongdou have undergone a transformation, from immature recruits to veterans.

Dashemaru is very satisfied with this. Although he seldom takes care of his disciples on weekdays, he is silently expressing his concern, and the tasks assigned to the three of Lihuo are mostly growth-oriented.

Now, it's time for them to grow up and take on new challenges.

After thinking about it in his heart, Orochimaru chose a more suitable task and handed it over to Uchiha Lihuo.

The content of the mission is very simple, it is to lurk into the country of grass and inquire about the information of grass ninja in the country of grass.

The Country of Grass is a small country lying between the Country of Fire and the Country of Earth. In peacetime, the two countries can be separated, and in war, it is the place where the two countries fight.

After releasing the mission, Orochimaru said something to the three-person team, such as being more careful, and went to deal with military affairs.

The three from Lihuo left the big tent and came to the forest behind the camp. The mission was only for one week, and they needed to rush to the country of grass as soon as possible.

After crossing the border of the Kingdom of Fire, the three of them came to the territory of the Kingdom of Grass. The Kingdom of Grass was very narrow and long because it was deliberately separated to isolate the two major kingdoms.

Walking in the territory of the Kingdom of Grass, the three of them disguised themselves as orphans displaced by the war.

Because of the Konoha and Iwagakure battle that had just been experienced in the Country of Grass, countless villages were affected, and they were not conspicuous among the homeless refugees from the Country of Grass.

It was getting dark, and the refugees began to cook in the burned villages and lean on the ruins to rest.

Eating rice made of skinned rice, sadness spread among the crowd, and the refugees who lost their loved ones affected by the war wiped their tears one by one.

Hinata Zou with a dusty face walked up to Uchiha Lihuo, and asked, "Can we really get into Kusanagi Village like this?"

Uchiha Lihuo said lightly: "Don't worry, at our age, it's easy to sneak into the interior of the country of grass among the refugees, but you have to be careful, eat and live with those refugees, don't let them find out."

Hyugazo looked at Uchiha Lihuo, and frowned: "This is why you are hiding behind refugees alone, eating jerky?"

Dazed for a moment, Uchiha Lihuo didn't expect Hinata Zang to say such a thing, so he gave him a portion of the jerky in his hand, and said, "You can eat it, don't be discovered by the red beans."

Hyugazo put away the jerky, soothed his brows, and said, "It's more or less the same."

Saying that, Hinata Zang left and continued to sneak among the refugees.

Watching Hinata go away, Uchiha Lihuo is very strong, and saw the former secretly distribute the jerky to the refugee children.

Such kindness is hard to survive in the ninja world, Uchiha Lihuo secretly said.

In the early morning of the next day, the refugee team continued to head towards Soren Village, with the aim of getting relief.

Looking at the path in the forest, according to Uchiha Lihuo's estimation, among this group of refugees, it is estimated that they will be able to reach Kusanagi Village within two days.

Of course, this is not the main reason for Uchiha Lihuo to mix into the refugees. If he wants to obtain information, he only needs to sneak into the interior of Kusanagi and use the kaleidoscope Sharingan to obtain information easily.

But in the land of grass, there is a character that even Uchiha Lihuo can't ignore, Uchiha Madara.

After the Battle of the Valley of the End, Uchiha Madara lurked in the territory of the Grass Country, using the golems of the heretics to survive, and his subordinate Bai Ze spread all over the ninja world, collecting information from Uchiha Madara all the time.

Under such circumstances, Uchiha Lihuo must be careful to avoid being loaded into Madara's pit.

He doesn't want to be Obito Uchiha.
