Chapter 250: Proper Gentleman
Under the night sky, inside the Daimyo’s Camp there were over a hundred tents.
Between the tents were samurai walking with torches.
Yoru said to Yuka and the other two: “In the upcoming battle, there are too many people and eyes around, so it’s inevitable that some of our information will be exposed.
For example, numbers, body types, and so on.
The path of revenge cannot be smooth sailing; we all must be prepared to pay a price.”
Yuka said: “Fox, you’re the one infiltrating and assassinating near the Daimyo; your danger is the greatest. We’re just attracting attention from the periphery, so you need to be even more careful.”
Yoru said: “It’s fine. Just a Daimyo’s 12 Guardian Ninja—I still have confidence in taking them down.
Especially since there are 4 Shimura Clan ninja among them, and 3 of them are frauds.
Only the Guardian Ninja Captain Shimura Kabi poses some threat.”
After the group formulated tactics, they each left.
In the quiet stillness, a commotion suddenly arose from a certain direction.
The sound of Exploding Tags came from the southeast.
The Guardian Ninja instantly became alert.
Guardian Ninja Hyuga Shin formed hand seals and then activated his Byakugan!
He saw at the edge of the camp three people wearing masks, fighting samurai.
Guardian Ninja Captain Shimura Kabi asked: “Who are they!”
Hyuga Shin said: “I saw three people wearing masks. Those masks… the masks have Sealing Jutsu on them; I can’t see what the people behind the masks look like!”
Hyuga Shin suddenly thought of Danzo.
Danzo Advisor wore a bandage over his right eye. Once, he had accidentally scanned Danzo Advisor’s right eye with Byakugan and found his Byakugan couldn’t penetrate that layer of bandage.
It was some kind of seal, a seal that blocked reconnaissance.
At least with his Byakugan, he couldn’t see through the seal.
Shimura Kabi said: “Three Guardian Ninja, go check who dares to sneak attack the camp!
You three, come with me into the Daimyo’s tent.
The remaining 5, stand guard outside the Daimyo’s tent.”
While the Hyuga Ninja directed his line of sight toward the southeast, Yoru stealthily moved underground, rapidly approaching from the blind spot of Hyuga Shin’s Byakugan.
With Byakugan activated, Yoru constantly monitored the situation around the Daimyo from underground.
After seeing Shimura Kabi leave, Yoru burst out of the ground from the visual blind spot behind Hyuga Shin.
Throwing a Smoke Bomb, Yoru followed up with a punch to the back of Hyuga Shin’s head, knocking him out.
He had to deal with the troublesome Hyuga Ninja first, or the upcoming battle and escape would be complicated by him.
In the Smoke Bomb, no one could see anything.
Yoru activated Byakugan and precisely located the Shimura Clan fraud Jonin, Shimura Ryo.
Shimura Ryo’s first reaction wasn’t to rush into the Smoke Bomb and engage the enemy directly, but to propel himself backward with his legs.
He leaped into mid-air, trying to jump out of the Smoke Bomb’s range.
The enemy appeared in mid-air as well, and the two nearly collided.
Shimura Ryo saw the White Demon Mask almost pressed against his face and tried to swing his kunai.
However, he couldn’t move at all.
He was too close to the White Demon Mask. The smoke had no effect, so close that he locked eyes with a pair of Sharingan!
The one killing him was Uchiha?
Then the one who had used Fire Release to slaughter other Shimura clansmen before was also Uchiha?
No wonder the Clan Head hated Uchiha so much; Uchiha was indeed conspiring against the Shimura Clan.
Genjutsu!
He had been hit by Binding Technique Genjutsu; his body was out of control.
A kunai sank deeply into Shimura Ryo’s temple.
In mid-air, a figure fell out of the Smoke Bomb’s range.
The samurai approached to check and found it was the corpse of Guardian Jonin Shimura Ryo.
In Shimura Ryo’s temple, a kunai was embedded, its diamond-shaped blade almost entirely buried in his head, leaving only the handle wrapped with anti-slip cord.
From within the Smoke Bomb, a few more muffled grunts sounded.
When the smoke cleared, the samurai saw all the Guardian Ninja lying on the ground.
Some were unconscious, some severely injured, and the two Shimura Clan Special Jonin had kunai embedded in their heads.
The samurai hurriedly looked toward the Daimyo’s tent.
There are assassins! They didn’t know how the Daimyo was doing.
Yoru stealthily moved underground into the Daimyo’s tent.
One Guardian Ninja was an Earth Release ninja; he shouted: “Someone’s underground!”
Before the person underground emerged, a Smoke Bomb appeared first.
In the enclosed tent, thick yellow fog instantly filled the space.
Shimura Kabi hurriedly formed hand seals and used Wind Release to blow away the smoke.
A gap opened in the smoke, and Shimura Kabi saw a person in a black hooded robe holding a kunai, charging toward the Daimyo of the Land of Grass.
The Daimyo was choking and coughing from the smoke, unaware of the life-threatening danger.
Shimura Kabi used Body Flicker Technique to pursue the assassin.
Under the White Demon Mask, Yoru was exceptionally surprised.
Shimura Kabi’s Body Flicker Technique had something to it!
No sound, no disturbance—Shimura Kabi instantly appeared at Yoru’s side.
According to the intel Yakushi Nonou had given him, Shimura Kabi specialized in Wind Release secret jutsu, Silent Body Flicker Technique.
Fast speed, no air-breaking sound, completely silent.
Shimura Kabi was an important Jonin in the Shimura Clan by status; otherwise, Danzo wouldn’t have sent him as Guardian Ninja Captain.
Body Flicker Techniques were all valuable.
Yoru was worrying that his sub-account White Ghost lacked strength, and seeing such a useful ability, he immediately got excited.
Your technique is mine now!
Before sending him to his death, Yoru had one more thing to do.
He had previously received intel that the Daimyo of the Land of Grass had captured an Uzumaki Clan member, Kanon Uzumaki, who mastered Medical Ninjutsu.
This was the perfect opportunity to find Kanon Uzumaki.
Shimura Kabi’s kunai stabbed toward Yoru’s throat.
Yoru used Genjutsu: Binding Technique again.
Shimura Kabi couldn’t move, instantly controlled by the Sharingan Genjutsu.
The Sharingan’s unmarked Genjutsu was too strong; ordinary ninja facing Sharingan had virtually no ability to resist.
“Uchiha! You’re Uchiha!”
Yoru turned and gripped the Daimyo’s throat.
The Daimyo’s face instantly turned purplish.
“Where is the Uzumaki Clan member you captured?”
The Daimyo saw the Guardian Ninja Captain immobilized and hurriedly whimpered: “I’ll talk… I’ll talk, let me go.”
Yoru released the bearded Daimyo.
The Daimyo hurriedly said: “Under the Evergreen Divine Mountain, our family’s sacrificial holy land, there is a secret base.
The person you mentioned is in that secret base. Please don’t kill me!”
Yoru was fully satisfied.
Rescuing Kanon Uzumaki at this opportunity—Kanon Uzumaki’s abilities were extremely crucial to the Uzumaki Clan.
Behind him, Shimura Kabi finally broke free from the Binding Technique, taking advantage of the Uchiha Ninja’s unguarded moment to draw a new kunai and stab toward Yoru’s back of the head.
【Host death detected, Moon Arc System activating soon…】
—
His field of view shifted, and Yoru returned to the previous full moon night.
He was still in Konoha Village.
In this rebirth, he was surprisingly diligent—no women around, and he was actually practicing Genjutsu: Binding Technique.
He wasn’t investigating with Qiao Yi, nor digging with Purple Cat.
He really was an upright gentleman, even a hardworking one.
