Chiba felt he now had another identity: envoy, undercover agent, assassin, escort...
"Sigh!" Chiba sighed inwardly.
Actually, he used to like Sasori quite a bit, but now he's being asked to eliminate Sasori's family. The higher-ups in Konoha really have Itachi's problems!
More importantly, these are four powerful individuals who are suspected to be at the Kage level. Even if he has many trump cards, if he gets involved in this conflict, can he really return to Konoha alive?
"We must find a way to break this deadlock! Perhaps I can use the One-Tailed Jinchuriki as a breakthrough?"
Chapter 62 Turning Chiba into a puppet!
The Land of Wind is the largest country in the ninja world, but most of its territory is covered by yellow sand, and it is almost entirely desert.
After a long journey, Chiba and the others finally arrived at Sunagakure. The envoys were supposed to go to the arranged post station to stay first, but Chiba was taken home by the enthusiastic Sasori.
"My house is quite big, Chiba, why don't you stay at my place tonight?"
Unable to refuse their hospitality, Chiba agreed to have dinner at Sasori's house before returning to the post station. As an undercover agent, he needed to be able to exchange information with the outside world.
"Chiba, you saved my husband and me back then, and now you've saved Scorpion. We don't know how to thank you enough!"
Scorpion's parents happened to be home, and the moment they saw Chiba, they rushed over, their gratitude overflowing.
"You must be hungry after the long journey. Come, sit down and let's eat and talk."
"Oh, okay, thank you... Uncle and Aunt?"
Chiba didn't know how to address Sasori's parents either, and it was through conversation that Chiba learned their names.
Scorpion's father is named Shigure, and his mother is named Mako.
The couple were both very kind. After Chiba sensed their strength, he realized that they were both quite powerful. Chiba was certain that even if he suddenly made a move, he would not be able to defeat them.
"Should I just defect to the enemy?" Chiba thought to himself.
Compared to the treacherous Konoha high-ranking officials, the sincere Shigure couple before him gave him a feeling of "a thousand leaves drifting for half a lifetime, only regretting not meeting a wise ruler." If you do not abandon him, I am willing to become your godfather!
"Five ants! Thank you for the hospitality. Well then, seniors, I'll take my leave now."
After dinner, Chiba was about to get up and leave when Scorpion stopped her.
"No way, Chiba, stay and play with me tonight! How about I teach you puppetry? I'm a renowned puppetry genius!"
"And another thing! I have quite a few beautiful female puppets. You stay here, and I'll show you something good tonight, how about it?"
Just as Scorpion was clinging to Chiba and refusing to let go, Shigure walked over and ruffled Scorpion's hair, smiling indulgently.
"Stop fooling around, Scorpion. Let your brother Chiba go back and get some rest."
After saying that, Shigure looked at Chiba and said, "Chiba, if you'd like, you can come to our house for dinner these next few days and keep Sasori company for us."
"No problem, Shigure-senpai."
Chiba readily agreed; as an undercover agent, he had no choice but to come, even if he didn't want to.
……
Station.
Chiba had just returned to his room, intending to sort out the current situation, when suddenly a figure pushed open the door and entered.
"Senior Yamanaka, what brings you here?" Chiba asked, somewhat puzzled.
Yamanaka Yofu is the deputy envoy of this mission, but she is in charge of this special operation, and her rank is higher than Chiba's.
"A, B, you guys guard the door. No one is allowed to approach without my permission!"
Yamazakura first instructed his subordinates to guard the door, then closed the door and sat down next to Chiba with a serious expression.
"Chiba, you are a junior whom the Hokage has high hopes for, and you've also managed to get in touch with the Shigure couple. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this operation."
Chiba glanced at the figures outside the door, then at the solemn-faced Yamanaka Yoru, but didn't notice anything unusual.
"I see, well then, I think..."
Chiba nodded calmly and began to share his basic thoughts on the mission.
pat, pat.
Yamanaka Yoru played with an exquisite pendant in his hand. As Chiba narrated, he would occasionally turn the pendant, making a rhythmic sound.
Chiba initially found it a bit strange.
But as the pendant made a sound faster and faster, Chiba subconsciously ignored the sound. He felt that his ears suddenly became quiet, as if he were in a void.
"So...I think...we...we should..."
Chiba's eyes gradually lost focus, and his speech became slower and slower, as if he were about to fall asleep at any moment.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Yamazakawa's face.
"No matter how strong you are, before the strongest secret technique of my mountain clan, you still have no choice but to obediently fall for it!"
This isn't the first time that the Night Wind in the Mountains has turned against its own people.
No matter how strong someone is, if you don't have a strong sense of vigilance towards them from the start, there's no one who won't fall for their tricks!
"Now, let me modify your consciousness..."
Yamanaka Yoru smiled slightly, intending to turn Chiba into his puppet to incite conflict within Sunagakure, and then let him die quietly in the chaos.
"So? This is the destiny I've woven for you in advance!"
The mountain night wind formed a mudra with its hands and whispered smugly.
Just as he was about to attack Chiba's consciousness, two scarlet lights suddenly flashed in Chiba's eyes, swaying from side to side with the dim candlelight, appearing particularly eerie.
The mountain breeze's consciousness froze instantly, unable to advance even a fraction further, as if blocked by a sturdy barrier. Moreover, a force of consciousness tried to invade his mind from the opposite direction.
"If you want to use genjutsu against me, you'll have to ask my Sharingan for permission first!"
Chiba sneered. If he hadn't possessed the Sharingan, he might have actually fallen for it. Fortunately, he regained consciousness midway through.
Having experienced being dominated by Uchiha Rinpoche last time, Chiba is now very wary of genjutsu, and the appearance of the Sharingan has made up for his weakness in genjutsu.
"The Third Hokage would never send anyone to attack me. You bastard, you must be one of Shimura Danzo's henchmen!"
What utter nonsense about the strongest secret technique! I bet you only dare to attack your own people and have never actually been beaten up by the Uchiha.
In the name of Uchiha Chiba, let me immerse myself in the darkness of the Sharingan!
Just as Chiba's eyes blazed with red light, and he thought he had the whole situation under control, Yamanaka Yokaze across from him looked horrified and opened his mouth to shout.
"Damn!!"
Chiba's expression also changed.
This was the first time he had to use his Sharingan to cast a genjutsu out of necessity, but he never expected that he would fail to defeat Yamanaka Yokaze, who was proficient in genjutsu.
"This is terrible!"
Chiba's heart was in his throat.
Those people outside the door are probably Danzo Shimura's subordinates. If they find out that I can awaken the Sharingan, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Chapter 63 How about a chaotic rampage with one tail!
"This thing doesn't even come with an instruction manual, what am I going to do?!"
At the critical moment, Chiba abandoned his dignity as an Uchiha and decisively chose to switch characters.
"Shikizhi Dance!"
Chiba didn't know if the ninjas guarding the door outside would notice the commotion inside, but at this point, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Crackle~~
Chiba was very close to the night breeze in the mountains.
The moment Yamanaka Yoru opened his mouth to shout, Chiba's skin exploded, turning into paper that covered Yamanaka Yoru's mouth and nose, and tightly bound his limbs.
At the same time, Chiba multitasked by separating a portion of the paper and continuing to manipulate the pendant in Yamanaka Yofu's hand, making it emit regular sounds.
pat, pat.
The crisp sound of the pendant made the sound of turning pages seem insignificant.
"Sharingan, Sharingan, Sharingan!"
At the same time, Chiba did not give up influencing the night wind in the mountains, continuing to use his Sharingan to disturb the other's mind, preventing him from concentrating and shouting for help.
With a combination of punches and a bit of luck, Chiba actually managed to stop Yamanaka Yokaze, and the ninja outside the door didn't rush in.
"Damn, that scared me to death!"
Chiba had just been so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his back was still a little damp.
"He who hunts birds all day long will eventually be pecked by geese. He never expected that the Night Wind in the Mountains would actually... no, he never expected that this kid would actually be an Uchiha!"
"Lord Danzo is right. The Uchiha clan indeed harbors treacherous intentions, having clan members disguised as commoners and infiltrated the Hokage's lineage!"
The mountain wind, filled with fear and resentment, stared at Chiba, cursing the Uchiha clan in its heart. Uchiha Fugaku sneezed one hundred and eight times that night.
However, under Chiba's influence, the mountain night wind couldn't even manage a loud groan!
"Sharingan!"
Chiba may not be an expert in illusion magic, but he knows that a person's consciousness is at its weakest when they are suffocating and on the verge of death.
...After all, he's almost dead, so he can't get hard even if he wanted to!
Chiba kept the mountain breeze suffocating and kept practicing using his Sharingan to control the other's mind until his eyes were almost bursting.
Aside from glancing at the edges, this was the first time Chiba had ever stared at someone so intently, and finally, he found a connection.
"Ugh!"
Chiba shuddered at that feeling, and the resentment in Yamanaka Yoru's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a blank stare.
"Success!"
Chiba suppressed his joy and began to influence Yamanaka Yoru's will. He quickly broke through the illusion barrier that the other party had set up in his mind and tried to read the other party's recent memories.
"...That old dog Shimura Danzo didn't just target me casually; he actually set up this trap specifically for me!"
