From Hidden Leaf Village year 23 to 25, the position of Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan changed frequently, and countless talents fell each year.
Unexpectedly, the village maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.
The Third Hokage once stated that the higher-ups should not interfere in the affairs of the Uchiha Clan. Rashly intervening would easily backfire, causing isolation and estrangement within the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, this kind of problem could only be solved by the Uchiha themselves.
At this moment, in the Uchiha Clan Territory, the newly appointed Clan Head stared at Uchiha Chiri with a sinister gaze. His heterochromatic eyes, one red and one white, contained a deep darkness, as if he wanted to devour the person in front of him completely.
He had only just taken office, and if there was anyone in the Clan Territory qualified to challenge him, this 16-year-old girl was the most likely candidate!
She had shown great talent since she was a child, and already had the strength of a Jonin upon graduation. It was said that her Sharingan had already developed to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan stage, and coupled with her four years of experience in the Hidden Leaf Police Force, she possessed both strength and prestige.
Moreover, due to her outstanding abilities, she had been exceptionally promoted to the position of captain of the Hidden Leaf Police Force this month, which even made him, the Clan Head, feel envious.
This "Hell Valley Mission" was a scheme set up to target her. If he could take the opportunity to weaken her power and exclude her from the competition, that would naturally be for the best. If not, he could at least send her away, buying himself time to consolidate his power.
Therefore, facing Chiri's "reasoning," he completely displayed an overbearing and dictatorial attitude, refusing to withdraw his order.
Chiri stared directly into the Clan Head's eyes, and after a long time, a deep disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Soon, the scene that the Clan Head had been most looking forward to appeared. In order to prevent Tong Ren from being harmed, Chiri decisively resigned from her position as captain of the Hidden Leaf Police Force and accompanied Tong Ren to Hell Valley.
"Chiri-neechan, is this really okay?"
Tong Ren asked hesitantly, feeling very lost because he had implicated his sister.
"You're my only Younger Brother. Compared to you, it doesn't matter what I lose." Chiri rubbed her Younger Brother's head, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a doting smile.
Orochimaru and Uchiha Nen exchanged glances, and after confirming each other's intentions, they stepped forward together.
"We're going too!"
"Huh? What are you talking about!" Tong Ren raised his eyebrows and immediately refused, "I already feel guilty for implicating my sister. If I implicate you guys too... what kind of friend would I be?"
"Likewise, if we watched you fall into the mire and did nothing, we wouldn't be friends either." Orochimaru spread his hands.
Uchiha Nen carried his hands on his back, acting like a little adult, "That makes sense. Besides, if you don't believe in our strength, don't you believe in Chiri-neechan's strength?"
"This..."
Orochimaru patted Tong Ren on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's just a reconnaissance mission. More people means more support."
"Sister, please persuade them!" Tong Ren said anxiously.
Chiri silently glanced at Orochimaru, and after thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Since this is the decision of your close friends, you shouldn't refuse in order to respond to their determination."
"But..."
"Don't worry, Sister will protect you guys." Chiri smiled gently.
Under the insistence of the others, Tong Ren finally couldn't resist them. The four of them eventually formed a small team. In order to prevent the Clan Head's faction from interfering, Chiri submitted the mission application to the Hokage Building in advance and successfully obtained the Hokage's approval.
On the day of departure, this matter unexpectedly took an unexpected turn.
"Jiraiya? Tsunade?" Orochimaru frowned slightly, "What do you mean by this?"
The four of them looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were already waiting at the village entrance, and were all filled with confusion.
"The Master is very concerned about the Blood Pond Clan in Hell Valley, and he's worried you can't handle it alone, so he sent us two to assist."
Jiraiya flicked a transfer order with his fingertips, shaking it coolly.
"The teamwork of our Team 7 needs improvement, and we need some practical experience. This is a good opportunity. Moreover, Chiri is a very trustworthy ninja. I'm relieved to have her as the leader."
Tsunade tossed her hair. "The above are Lord Sarutobi's original words."
Chiri took the transfer order, carefully read it, and a slightly charming smile appeared on her lips.
As intelligent as she was, she had already figured out the reasons behind it.
What was Orochimaru's identity? Leaving aside that he was Tong Ren's close friend, he was currently the Third Hokage's direct disciple.
Lord Hokage not only rejected her resignation letter but even approved her proposal to leave the village and sent two other disciples to accompany her. This showed that the village was not completely abandoning the current situation of the Uchiha Clan.
The existence of the Three Ninja of Team 7 was equivalent to providing Chiri with insurance, which was already a subtle intervention.
Suddenly, the Uchiha Clan Head issued an external mission, and his intention was obvious to everyone, clearly a trap aimed at Uchiha Chiri.
Even so, the Third Hokage still sent his direct disciples out to accompany Chiri and others, just to prevent the Uchiha from taking deadly action. No matter how crazy they were, they would not dare to attack the Hokage's lineage rashly.
This action was to warn the other party not to go too far. No matter how you fight within the village, do not involve the outside.
Chiri could even believe that, to some extent, the Hokage had chosen to place a bet.
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and nodded her head gently. "Welcome, both of you. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Chiri, and I am still the captain of the Hidden Leaf Police Force. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."
Jiraiya smoothed his hair, grinned, and extended his hand to Chiri. "Nice to meet you, my name is Jiraiya. You can give me love letters later."
Before Chiri could shake his hand, Orochimaru silently grabbed Jiraiya's collar and pulled him over.
"Tch." Jiraiya was a little dissatisfied. He turned his head and saw a row of warning eyes, coming from Orochimaru, Kirito, and Uchiha Nen on the far right.
Their gazes were cold, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.
He shrank his neck in embarrassment, thinking of some unpleasant memories.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Tsunade. My favorite foods are chicken and sake, and I hate sweets. Don't think I'm just a girl, I'm a medical ninja!"
"Hello, Xiao Gang, I've heard of you for a long time." Chiri grabbed Tsunade and smiled gently.
"Yeah! This sister didn't call me 'Princess' like the others!" Tsunade was a little surprised and enthusiastically hugged Chiri's slender waist. "I like this sister."
Chiri touched Tsunade's head and buried her little face in her chest. "Ara, this sister likes you too. You know, you and Kirito have the same birthday..."
...
Thus, the reconnaissance team led by Jonin Uchiha Chiri, Genin Uchiha Kirito, the young Three Ninja, and an Uchiha Nen of unknown strength, set off on the road to Hell Valley.
