Chapter 322: It Wouldn’t Be Hard For Me To Take Out A Few Uchiha
Kill or harm people from the Uchiha Clan? Yoru thought, Lord Kiiroinu, you’re starting to resemble Danzo a bit.
Lord Kiiroinu said: “Fox Captain, I’ve just become Anbu Minister, and there are many things I still don’t understand.
I reviewed the previous Anbu’s top-secret intelligence. Anbu has been systematically weakening Konoha Village’s major ninja clans.
In fact, it’s not just Konoha; other ninja villages do the same.
Hidden Mist Village successively weakened the Ice Release Clan, Hozuki Clan, Kaguya Clan, and other major village ninja clans to maintain the village’s balance.
In this mission, the Uchiha Clan deployed half of their elites.
The Uchiha Clan has 9 jonin; this time, 4 went, and they are the 4 strongest.
The Uchiha Clan has 21 special jonin; this time, 8 went.
Fox Captain, if you carefully scheme in this mission, can you take this opportunity to weaken the Uchiha Clan?
Finally, pin the blame on Uchiha Madara’s head. Even the Uchiha Clan won’t be able to say anything.”
Yoru understood. This was both using the Uchiha Clan to investigate the high-ranking official’s confidant major threat Uchiha Madara, and using Uchiha Madara to deal with the Uchiha Clan.
Not only did Yoru like to use Uchiha Madara as a scapegoat; the high-ranking officials liked it too.
Great minds think alike. Uchiha Madara truly was the ninja world’s big toilet, accepting all comers.
After pretending to ponder, Yoru said: “It’s hard to grasp the measure here…
Killing a few Uchihas wouldn’t be difficult for me; the difficulty is not being discovered by the other members of the Uchiha Clan.
I can’t kill them all, that would be too difficult…”
Lord Kiiroinu felt a bit panicked. If Fox Captain got too enthusiastic and killed all 12 Uchihas, even including Clan Head Uchiha Kane, wouldn’t the scene be a bit too big?
But he couldn’t dampen his subordinate’s enthusiasm either.
Lord Kiiroinu watched Fox Captain hesitate and struggle, thinking that everything was back, just as it was.
They were still that captain and subordinate secretly scheming conspiracies.
Having Fox Captain around felt great.
Killing all the Uchihas was a bit extreme. He could ask Fox Captain to go easy and spare a few. But if it were someone else…
Other squad leaders trying to kill a few Uchihas would be way too difficult.
12 Uchihas with three-tomoe Sharingan—they weren’t dough to be kneaded; they were tough to handle.
Lord Kiiroinu said: “Fox Captain, handle it as you see fit. In this mission, you absolutely cannot expose yourself. You’re the Anbu’s top squad leader, and both I and the Third Lord value you highly.”
Yoru said gratefully: “Lord Kiiroinu, rest assured. I can definitely kill a few Uchihas without letting the other Uchihas discover it.
Worst case, I’ll kill and silence them one by one. I handle things flawlessly.
However…”
Lord Kiiroinu perked up seriously upon hearing this, wondering what Fox Captain would say.
Yoru thought, this was the time to make a big demand.
“However, in the mission, it’s not just me and the Uchiha Clan; there’s also Uchiha Madara.
I’ve escaped from Uchiha Madara twice. The pressure he puts on me is immense.
He didn’t even use Sharingan; just Wood Style alone beat me badly.
Lord Kiiroinu, the key to completing the mission is understanding the enemy, understanding Uchiha Madara.
Minister, do you have any intelligence on Wood Style ninjutsu here?
Without intelligence, I can’t complete the mission, let alone carry out your will to kill a few Uchihas.”
“Wood Style? I have clearance for that.” Lord Kiiroinu said: “Wait here. I’ll go get you intelligence on Wood Style ninjutsu and Uchiha Madara.
Wood Style ninjutsu is very precious, but useless to the vast majority of ninja.
I’ll get you some Wood Style ninjutsu to help you complete the pursuit and kill mission on Uchiha Madara.”
Watching Lord Kiiroinu leave, Yoru was very satisfied.
Ninja life is like a play; it all depends on acting.
Half an hour later, Lord Kiiroinu brought two scrolls.
Yoru’s eyes lit up.
He had gotten 3 Wood Style ninjutsu from Orochimaru; he wondered how many he could get from Lord Kiiroinu.
Lord Kiiroinu said proudly: “Fox Captain, for you, I copied quite a few Wood Style secret jutsu. Take them and see if they’re useful for your mission.”
Yoru took the scrolls and said: “Thank you, Lord Kiiroinu Minister. I’ll definitely make good use of this intelligence and strive to complete the mission.”
Lord Kiiroinu watched Fox Captain leave, feeling very gratified.
He hadn’t misjudged Fox Captain. Fox Captain might have held some resentment before, but now he’d walked out of that dead end.
Fox Captain was still his most trusted subordinate.
Fox Captain coming to him for help with mission needs—this was the best outcome.
Yoru left Lord Kiiroinu’s office and quickly arrived in the dense forest behind Hokage Rock.
He opened the scrolls. First was Uchiha Madara’s biography, which he wasn’t interested in.
At the end of the scroll were three Wood Style ninjutsu.
Wood Style: Violent Gun Tree, Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence, Wood Style: Flower Tree Release.
What bad luck. He already had Deep Forest Emergence from Orochimaru, so after acting with Lord Kiiroinu, he only got two ninjutsu.
Flower Tree Release, based on Deep Forest Emergence, causes trees to grow several flowers. When the flowers bloom, they produce poisonous pollen; inhaling the pollen causes paralysis and fainting.
Wood Style: Violent Gun Tree, a powerful offensive and defensive Wood Style technique. Big trees or wooden spears violently sprout from any part of the body to block attacks and counter enemies.
Still no Wood Dragon Technique that absorbs chakra.
Oh well, don’t be greedy. He could acquire more Wood Style ninjutsu later; for now, master these.
Time passed quickly.
At Konoha Village’s entrance, the reconnaissance squad led by Hyuga Yue, the 3 Uchiha squads led by Uchiha Kane, Fox Captain with Aries Squad and Hanashika Squad—this massive investigation team assembled.
Lord Kiiroinu wanted Yoru to bring the entire Fox Squad, but Yoru strove with Lord Kiiroinu to only bring Aries and Hanashika squads.
Lord Kiiroinu finally thought that if Yak Squad and Hippopotamus Squad were lost, he’d have no direct subordinates left, so he agreed to Yoru’s suggestion.
“Lord Kane, let’s go. We’ll investigate the traitor ninja Uchiha Madara.” Yoru said: “In this mission, you’re in charge. You command, and we Anbu will follow orders.”
Uchiha Kane didn’t dare truly boss around the Anbu squad leader. He said:
“Let’s discuss it together. Fox Captain, you’ve seen Uchiha Madara twice, so you have more experience and are more familiar with this strong enemy.”
Yoru said: “The Uchiha Clan Head is even more familiar with Uchiha Madara. After all, he’s your clan’s senior.”
Uchiha Kane smiled awkwardly.
That old senior Uchiha Madara sure knew how to cause them trouble.
A man over seventy, still hopping around—what for?
Yoru looked behind Uchiha Kane: Uchiha Touka, Uchiha Michi, Uchiha Suiju—four jonin including the clan head.
Uchiha Suiju caught Yoru’s eye for an extra second. This young man was Kagami Uchiha’s son, Shisui Uchiha’s father.
Uchiha Touka and Uchiha Michi were acquaintances; the three had carried out a mission together in the Land of Whirlpools ambushing Mist ninja Sword Seizing Unit.
What drew Yoru’s even more attention were the two brothers behind Uchiha Michi.
Uchiha Goka and Uchiha Touka brothers, two special jonin, both disciples of Uchiha Michi.
If Yoru hadn’t schemed against Uchiha Goka, Uchiha Goka would have been promoted to jonin long ago.
The Uchiha Clan’s brothers—why did he have a bad premonition.
September is very busy with work. At the end of the month, I’ll see if I can add updates. For now, these few days, I’ll guarantee three updates daily.
