Konoha: Start by choosing to become Hokage

The next day, early morning.

A five-man team consisting of Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Bin, and "Inarakacho" Nara Shika, Yamanakai Town, and Akimichi Dingmura set out on a small boat from a coastal port and headed for the Kingdom of Water, a distance away from Kirigakure Village. It is located on an island about twenty kilometers away from the main island.

In the ninja world, the Water Country is an island country with a unique culture. Its territory is often covered by thick fog and is completely isolated from other countries.

The land of Water is surrounded by sea water on all sides and has a special terrain with many peaks. The main island where Kirigakure Village is located is surrounded by dozens of large and small islands suitable for living.

As the ship approaches the Kingdom of Water, the visibility also decreases. The surrounding thick fog is enough to block the Sharingan's sight, but fortunately the Byakugan is not affected by this.

Therefore, during the voyage, Hinata Bin's eye roll became the guide.

Basically every half hour of sailing, Hinata would roll his eyes to check the surrounding situation.

Whenever Hyugabin spots other ships on the sea, he immediately turns to avoid them.

Their mission this time is mainly to enter the main island of the Kingdom of Water to investigate the information of Kirigakure Village.

Being exposed before getting close, this mission can basically be considered a failure.

After going around and around, it took the boat a day and a half to reach the island twenty kilometers away from the main island.

After successfully landing on the island, the five people continued to maintain their transformation skills and entered the island to collect information.

The final step in gathering information is to enter the main island, which is under the jurisdiction of Kirigakure Village. However, before entering the main island, it is necessary to collect information on the surrounding islands to determine the current situation and danger of the main island.

The islands other than the main island are civilian settlements, but this does not rule out Kirigakure ninjas stationed or performing tasks.

With his Byakugan, Hinata discovered a team of Mist ninjas on the edge of the island's village.

After learning from Hyugabin that there were no other fog ninjas nearby, Uchiha Fugaku issued an order to the three other Ino Shikacho except Hyugabin:

"I'll keep one alive, and you can take care of the rest."

The three of Nara Shikagi each selected a Mist ninja genin, and Uchiha Fugaku was responsible for dealing with the leading chunin.

As Uchiha Fugaku's gesture fell, the four of them launched an attack at the same time.

Four jounin sneak attack an ordinary fog ninja chuunin team, and it only takes a few seconds to defeat them.

The Mist Ninja Chunin controlled by Uchiha Fugaku with Sharingan was left alive, allowing Yamanaka Izhen to use the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan to start reading the opponent's memory.

Ten minutes later, Yamanakai Town's investigation ended and he used a kunai to end the life of the mist ninja.

From the memory of this chuunin, the five Hyuga Bins roughly learned the current situation of Kirigakure Village.

After Kirigakure's defeat, he returned to the village to repair, and seemed to have no intention of fighting again.

Moreover, the Third Mizukage had not appeared in public one month before the war with the Leaf Village began.

After Yamanaka Izhen came to this conclusion, everyone speculated that the third Mizukage was probably assassinated like the Third Kazekage.

As for the in-depth details, it is not something that an ordinary Kirigakure chuunin can access.

After continuing to explore the situation on the two islands, the five Hyugabins landed on the main island of the Kingdom of Water.

Stepping onto the main island, the surrounding fog became thicker, and the air was filled with the smell of blood belonging to Kirigakure Village.

"We will explore around the edge this afternoon, and then find a place to repair overnight. Tomorrow we will approach Kirigakure Village for reconnaissance, and then return to the village to hand over the task." Uchiha Fugaku immediately made arrangements.

It has to be said that, apart from being indecisive in major decisions, Uchiha Fugaku is also meticulous and orderly in executing tasks.

Because there was a possibility of encountering a Kirigakure at any time outside Kirigakure Village, and because only Hyugabin's Byakugan vision was not affected by the thick fog, the five Hyugabins did not disperse.

During the entire action, most of the actions involved Hinata using his Byakugan to conduct investigations in order to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

…

"Hinata-kun, let's take a rest." After two hours of intense investigation, Uchiha Fugaku said to Hinata Bin, who seemed to have more sinister veins bulging around his eyes.

In the four days since Hinata set off from the Land of Fire, he has spent more than four hours with his Byakugan open every day.

According to Uchiha Fugaku's understanding of the Hyuga clan, the average jonin of the Hyuga clan can only activate their Byakugan for three or four hours a day.

If this time is exceeded, chakra will be consumed excessively, and the eye power will also need a certain amount of time to recover.

And Hinata Bin opened the "telescope" for more than four hours a day, which was obviously overtaxing his body.

"Lord Fugaku, no need, I'm fine." Hinata Bin smiled back.

Just by turning on the Byakugan, his recovery speed can meet the consumption speed. As long as he doesn't drive 24 hours a day without rest, he won't have much problem.

Looking at Hinata Bin's innocent smile, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but regret: "I should have brought one more Hyuga ninja."

"Bin-kun, thank you for your hard work this time." Uchiha Fugaku patted Hinata Bin on the shoulder.

He decided that after returning to the village, in addition to promoting Hinata Bin to the Uchiha clan, he must also let Uchiha Mikoto cook a delicious meal. He personally invited Hinata Bin to his home for a meal and tasted her wife Uchiha Mikoto's food. smell.

"Lord Fugaku, looking around with your white eyes is just a trivial thing. After all, I didn't help much in the battle." Hinata Bin still maintained a humble attitude.

Although he is very strong now, there are so many powerful people in the world of Naruto, and he thinks there is still room for improvement.

This was not a guess on his part, but rather the fact that the system had never triggered the option for him to "make a name for himself".

"Hinata-kun, you are already very good. Thanks to your Byakugan for this mission, we were able to reach Kirigakure Village in the safest way." Uchiha Fugaku encouraged Hinata-kun, and then made new arrangements: " We seize the time and after finding a suitable place to station, we start taking turns to rest."

Hinata Bin didn't have the arrogance or self-righteousness of a ninja from a big family, which made Uchiha Fugaku appreciate it even more.

After the five members of the team continued to "sweep" forward for two kilometers, Hinata Bin suddenly sensed chakra fluctuations in the valley not far away.

"This is...Ye Cang?!"
