"Unbelievable..."
"You actually found the daimyo's trail through these commoners—"
Uchiha Inaho's tone was much gentler than yesterday, but there was still a hint of suspicion deep in her dark eyes.
He crouched in the shadow of the roof ridge, his body mostly obscured by the dark light cast by the eaves, his gaze fixed on Hinata Seiran in front of him.
"But now that we've found them, why aren't we making a move? Why are we just waiting here for so long?"
He paused slightly at this point, his tone becoming more tentative.
"You wouldn't be trying to take all the credit, would you?"
Before setting off, Captain Fugaku had specifically instructed him to be polite to the Hyuga clan member who had helped the Uchiha regain his Sharingan.
The Uchiha clan cannot refuse this favor.
But Uchiha Inahi was, after all, an elite member of the Uchiha clan, and pride was almost ingrained in his bones.
He naturally felt a sense of comparison and wariness towards the Hyuga clan, who were also powerful clans in Konoha.
Moreover, ever since they found Hinata Seiran last night, the two of them have been lurking here, never leaving his side.
It took almost a whole day.
Even though the target was right in front of them, Hinata Seiran still didn't take any action.
This made it really hard for him not to overthink things.
"Taking all the credit?"
Hinata Seiran stood in the shadow of the rooftop, arms crossed, and said, "Heh, it's not our turn yet."
His gaze swept over the bustling crowds, through the intricate streets and alleys of the capital of the land of rivers, and finally settled on the towering castle tower in the distance.
Compared to the dilapidated and desolate streets around it, the castle tower stood out conspicuously.
Majestic, imposing, and solemn.
It's like a world separate from the mortal realm.
At this moment, figures were constantly moving up and down the pavilion. The daimyo's attendants, guards, and servants were all in a hurry, running around as if they were welcoming some extremely important guest.
"It's not our turn?"
Uchiha Inahisa paused for a moment, then followed his gaze.
A group of people suddenly appeared slowly from the end of the main road.
The guards at the front were clad in bright armor and acted cautiously, while the accompanying attendants all kept their heads down and dared not overstep their bounds in the slightest.
The figure surrounded by the crowd finally came into Uchiha Inahikasa's view the moment he stepped through the outer gate of the castle tower.
"Th-that's not—" Uchiha Inahi exclaimed in shock, "Isn't that the son of the Fire Country's daimyo?!"
"What is he doing here?"
No wonder he lost his composure like that.
This is the capital of the Land of Rivers, which is many miles away from the border of the Land of Fire.
But now, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Fire has personally appeared here.
What this means is almost self-evident.
Ever since finding Hyuga Aoran last night, Uchiha Inahisa has been puzzled.
Even though the location of the daimyo has been confirmed, why is Hyuga Seiran not taking any action? Instead, it seems like he's waiting for something.
Until this moment, he finally understood.
They weren't the real protagonists of this mission at all.
Their job is simply to locate the target and confirm the final piece of the puzzle for the subsequent layout.
The real arrangements, however, had already begun quietly in places unseen by them.
"Lord Orochimaru—" Uchiha Inahime murmured under her breath, her expression complex, "His energy is truly immense."
They even managed to personally invite the son of the Fire Country's daimyo to push the River Country to provide food to the Konoha front.
So, what about the daimyo of the Land of Fire?
Just how many other things has Orochimaru planned behind the scenes?
Uchiha Inahisa dared not think any further and silently suppressed this shock in her heart.
"Let's go," Hinata Seiran said, turning his gaze away and exchanging a glance with Nara Shikagen, who was following the daimyo's son in the distance. He then nodded slightly, turned around, and said, "Our mission is complete. We don't need to get involved in the rest."
"oh oh."
Uchiha Inahime then came to her senses, nodded, and immediately followed Hyuga Seiran.
The two left the capital quietly.
Before long, the noisy voices were left far behind, replaced by the cool sound of the wind in the forest and the rustling of branches and leaves.
Hyuga Seiran moved nimbly, taking the lead and swiftly traversing the dense forest. Uchiha Inahi followed closely behind.
Suddenly, Hyuga Seiran, who was ahead, asked, "Inahikazuchi, is your Sharingan a three-tomoe Sharingan?"
"Of course, it's the three-tomoe jade."
Without hesitation, Uchiha Inahime replied, "Uchiha clan Jonin are basically qualified to become Jonin only after they have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan."
At this point, he added, "Castration like Shisui's is a special case."
After saying that, he looked at Hinata Seiran's back with some curiosity.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
Hinata Seiran did not answer immediately, but continued to ask, "Then what about your genjutsu level?"
",
"Illusion?"
Uchiha Inahisa frowned, her eyes filled with even more doubt.
But when he saw Hyuga Seiran suddenly stop in front of him, and his Byakugan had quietly been activated, his expression became serious.
"Enough to extract information through torture."
"That's good."
Hinata Seiran nodded slightly.
Within the Byakugan's vision, everything around him became incredibly clear.
Trees, rocks, underground roots, figures moving through the distant forest, and the chakra flowing within those people—nothing could escape their sight.
About a kilometer away, behind the cover of a grove of trees, several figures were cautiously making their way forward.
They deliberately lowered their voices and moved stealthily and cautiously, seemingly trying to infiltrate the area from the side.
Hinata Seiran's gaze swept over those figures one by one.
The amount of chakra in that person was significantly higher than the others; without a doubt, he was the Jonin leading the team.
He was also familiar with that person's chakra.
It was the Sand Village ninja who was "invited" out by the Konoha ninja when he first arrived at the Kikyo Mountain camp.
Sand owl.
Unexpectedly, we met again here.
Hinata Seiran's eyes flickered slightly as he briefly informed Uchiha Inahisa of the information he had observed.
"People from Sunagakure?" Uchiha Inahi couldn't help but smile after hearing this. "Perfect, I've been cooped up all day, it's time to stretch my muscles."
In Uchiha Inahi's eyes, both of them were Jonin.
One has Byakugan, and the other has Sharingan with three tomoe.
Dealing with a Sand Village squad is practically a piece of cake.
But that's not the most crucial point.
During wartime, every battle with enemy ninjas yields intelligence and achievements that become leverage to build influence in the village later on.
Captain Fugaku did not personally come to the Sunagakure front this time.
Therefore, it can only be these Uchiha elites who uphold the prestige of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Inahi wanted to win, and she had to win spectacularly.
Glancing at his restless expression out of the corner of her eye, Hinata Seiran roughly guessed what he was thinking.
The Uchiha clan had their own plans; they wanted to use this war to re-establish their status as the number one clan in Konoha.
Orochimaru also had his own ambitions.
He wanted to use the victory of the Sand Village front to completely end the Third Shinobi World War and ascend to the position of Fourth Hokage with indisputable achievements.
As for Hinata Seiran—
Qing has made a perfect appearance.
Next, it's time for him, this once unknown ninja, to become a rising star in Konoha once again.
and----
Hinata Seiran's Byakugan stared intently at him.
His gaze pierced through the sand owl's exterior, carefully observing the condition inside its body.
"Has it been modified?"
"The Sand Village has really gone all out..."
"7
However, it was all in vain.
A dense concentration of chakra gathered in his palm, and the Gentle Fist technique subtly shifted its acupoints at that moment.
"Eight Trigrams - Air Strike!"
Several enormous fists materialized from chakra were launched from the palm.
They charged straight at the Sand Village squad in front of them!
