Konoha I am Uchiha

In remote villages, there are sparsely located small thatched houses.

On the edge of the village, a family of three lived in a fairly sturdy thatched house.

"I'm back!" A young man carried simple farm tools and opened the door curtain of the thatched house.

The dark face and body so thin that the ribs are exposed all indicate that the family does not have enough food. But he is the only adult man in the family, and he must shoulder the important responsibility of supporting the family.

"Xiongda, how's it going outside? People in the village have been in panic lately." A similarly thin woman was mending a tattered linen dress with a bone needle. Her face was full of worry and a hint of despair.

"Everyone said that the government officials have discovered us, so it's best to pack up and run for our lives. But...but..." Her voice was filled with tears. "The wheat has only been planted not long ago, and it won't be harvest time at all." …”

"Even if we escape, our family will starve to death..."

The man named Xiongda was silent.

"Don't worry...Although some time ago, I found the footprints of someone walking outside the village...but it's not necessarily someone from the government." The man's voice was trembling, but he still put his arm around his wife's shoulders. He comforted softly.

"It's also possible that it's a herb collector or someone else who entered by mistake."

Saying what he himself didn't believe, he could only comfort his wife over and over again, "Don't worry, the government people are slow, they may not come so soon..."

Because the land is barren, there are very few fields that can be mined. The man's voice also lacked strength and became more weak.

Next to the weeping couple was their four-year-old son.

The children obviously have no way of understanding their family's current situation. But his thin and childish face, his clear and black and white eyes, revealed a deep uneasiness.

……

Hiirago is still young.

What he learned in the ninja school and what Shisui taught him were all detection and exploration skills for ninjas. But what they faced this time was a village made up of ordinary people.

Not only do they have to cultivate a certain amount of fields to make a living, but they also need to avoid being hunted down by Fire Nation officials, so naturally they dare not build obvious structures like outposts or watchtowers.

They even conduct reconnaissance before the fixed firing time every day.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't know whether he discovered this problem or ignored it, he only said a word of caution.

This mission, as their team's first mission out of the village, Fugaku would not take action directly.

Of course, if you encounter an unexpected emergency, that's a different matter.

The residents of the village obviously found no trace of the Hiiragi team. But the footprints of ordinary investigators from the Fire Country were still discovered by the villagers after such a long period of passive training.

This caused a lot of criticism in the village.

Some who were timid and still had strength thought they were people from the government who came to track them, so they were so frightened that they packed up their belongings and ran away that day. But more people are firmly chained to this land by hunger and poverty.

As night falls, people can only enter the bed uneasily.

"Good night, Mom and Dad." The young boy can already say good night to his parents.

"Good night, Ito." The woman said to the child gently.

Obviously, their family cannot afford to build another thatched house, so the family of three is now crowded into one house.

It is used as a dining room during the day and as a bedroom at night.

"Good night..." The man murmured in a daze after a tiring day.

……

You wouldn’t know it until you entered, but once you entered, you discovered that the village was filled with the smell of excrement.

Although Hiiragi was mentally prepared, he was still confused by the stench.

Since this was the first time they saw blood, the three of them decided not to separate for now. They would focus on exploring and eliminating danger before taking certain separate actions.

They chose a remote side of the village. The houses here are generally small and sparsely distributed, making it a good place to break into.

Among the three, only Hiirago has mastered some perception skills. After cautiously entering the village, they gathered together and waited for the results of Hiiragi's perception.

Hiirago closed his eyes and chakra spread around.

Very good, there is no chakra reaction in perception, they are all ordinary people.

Hiiragi nodded to the two of them and made a "everything is normal" gesture. The three of them spread out in all directions at the same time and entered different rooms.

Hiirago sneaked into the room on the left.

This was a rough thatched house, and Hiiragi's perception told him that there was only one sign of life in the room, most likely a man.

He did not choose to enter through the door.

Not to mention that in general house design, the location of the door is a top priority. Most people will design a reminder device similar to a doorbell. And even more crazy people will even lay some traps.

Even if it was such a simple thatched house, Hiiragi didn't dare to take it lightly.

So under normal circumstances, a window opened at a high place is a good sneaking point.

Hiiragi entered through the only window in this room.

Of course, there is also the possibility of traps being arranged behind the windows, but everything has risks, and you can't stand still.

Hiirago's good eyesight told him that there was no special decoration in this room. On the simple bed in the middle, there was a thin and short man sleeping soundly. It didn't sound obvious outside, but the sound in the room was loud.

The smell of urine and sweat came over me, almost making Hiirago faint.

Even smelly socks that have been left to ferment for a week have no such power!

It seems like we need to strengthen our taste training...

Hiiragi thought to himself as he took out the kunai and wiped it on his neck quietly and quickly.

Afraid that he would wake up from the pain and make a sound. Hiiragi also pinched his Lianquan point to prevent him from screaming.

If you want to blame, just blame yourself for being a bandit and doing evil. In your next life, you must be a good person.

In his heart, Hiiragi didn't know whether he was persuading the deceased or comforting himself. Enduring the sticky feeling on his hands, he did not spit it out in the end.

After settling the family, he came out of the room.

At this time, Odamura and Matsumoto had already completed the mission of the first family. Koichi's speed was slower, and Matsumoto had already entered the second house.

Unlike Hiiragi, who had to do a lot of mental construction for themselves, Otamura and his two people have been dreaming of a ninja career since they were young, and they also received ninja vocational education. Although the first time they killed someone, they always felt disgusting, but after letting go, they actually felt a little bit excited.

Looking at the two energetic people, Hiiragi laughed.

Did he lose to his teammates in this regard?

Holding the kunai in his hand tightly, he walked to the next house.

In his perception, there were three signs of life activity in this room...
