Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 48 Lost Memories: Even a brute knows how to wage information warfare

"Don't meddle. You should do what you're supposed to do."

Uchiha Yao turned his head and looked at the black shadow that had transformed into human form.

"Hehehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing the dark side of this kid."

The dark figure let out a strange laugh and slowly approached the unconscious Uchiha Gin, extending a pitch-black hand to press it onto his head.

Just then, two figures burst into Uchiha Yao's laboratory. Uchiha Yao frowned when he saw them from afar.

"I thought I could stall for a while, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Uchiha Tajima is no longer the indecisive kid he used to be."

Wang Liang had already informed him of Uchiha Miao's return, and in order to stall him, he drafted a plan overnight regarding the two pairs of kaleidoscopes.

This plan is of great importance, and the loyal Uchiha Miao will definitely ask Uchiha Tajima for his opinion as soon as possible.

This would buy him a lot of time, but he never expected that his once indecisive disciple would become so decisive after becoming the clan leader.

"Wang Liang, the plan is terminated. Possess Uchiha Gin's body and wait for my orders before proceeding."

The existence of the monstrous cannot be exposed, and his actions will surely cause Uchiha Tajima to separate him from this research, and Uchiha Gin will also be protected.

Without hesitation, the shadowy figure transformed into a pool of black water and merged into Uchiha Gin's body.

"Uchiha Yao! The clan head has ordered the experiment to be terminated."

Uchiha Miao, carrying the chubby Uchiha Yan, rushed up to Uchiha Yao, carrying Uchiha Tajima's letter of appointment.

"What, Chieftain, aren't you tempted by my plan?"

Uchiha Yao turned his head and looked coldly at his two younger brothers.

"This kind of plan is not needed at this time. The clan leader appointed me to take over your research. He specifically instructed that Uchiha Yao should go home and rest for a while because you have been overworking recently."

Uchiha Yan and his companion watched Uchiha Yao with predatory eyes, secretly on guard. This guy had never suddenly attacked before; he wasn't just a simple researcher.

"You don't need to be nervous. Since it is the clan leader's order, I will obey it."

Uchiha Yao shook his head at the two wary-looking individuals, took off his research lab coat, and turned to leave the laboratory.

"Is it that simple?"

Uchiha Miao and his companion exchanged glances, both feeling that the other had retreated too easily.

"Never mind all that, let's get Ah Yin back first."

The chubby Uchiha Yan looked at the unconscious Uchiha Gin and urged him on.

Unable to fathom Uchiha Yao's true intentions, Uchiha Miao had no choice but to abandon his thoughts and turn around to lead Uchiha Gin back to his resting room with Uchiha Yan.

As Uchiha Yao walked out of the research institute, he turned around and took one last look at the place where he had spent most of his life, a fleeting look of regret in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, all of this is about to be reduced to ashes, along with this wicked family."

Uchiha Yao muttered to himself, a crazed expression appearing on his aged face.

"Jin, without you, this world has no reason to exist."

As night fell, on a hillside dozens of miles from the Uchiha clan's territory, a disguised figure stood under the moonlight, as if waiting for something.

With the sound of light footsteps, several men emerged from the woods. They were all strong and muscular, with bloodthirsty eyes, and strangely, delicate, thick eyebrows on their rugged faces, which seemed out of place with their demeanor.

"Was it you who provided us with the intelligence?"

The square-faced man at the head of the group asked arrogantly.

"That's right. The Uchiha clan recently changed its clan leader, and the current leader is not a warmonger. He advocates recuperation and development first, so the Uchiha clan has accumulated a lot of resources and wealth in recent years."

The figure hidden behind the mask spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, making it impossible to determine the person's age or identity.

"A cowardly act; war is the only path to development."

The square-faced man said disdainfully,

"Why did you hand over the Uchiha clan's defense map to us?"

The Kaguya clan, newly arrived in the Land of Water across the sea from the Land of Fire and currently engaged in numerous wars, suddenly received a piece of intelligence.

The document contains detailed information about the Uchiha clan of the Land of Fire, and even includes a helpful map showing the Uchiha clan's defenses.

This made the Kaguya clan, who had initially been skeptical, begin to have doubts. If they could seize such a lucrative opportunity, they could not only strengthen their power but also regain their footing in the Land of Fire.

The Land of Water is poor in resources and has inconvenient transportation. Its islanders are also very fierce and it is constantly in the midst of war. Several families are looking longingly at the neighboring Land of Fire, often reaching out to test the waters, all hoping that one day they can set foot on the mainland again.

"Don't ask me any more questions. Just think of me as an avenger."

Upon hearing the question from the Kaguya clan leader, the figure in the darkness spoke slowly.

"You sneaky fellow, even if you don't say anything, I can tell whether there's something wrong with what you gave me."

The leader of the Kaguya clan looked disdainfully at the unidentified man before her, and with a wave of her hand, a man who stood out from the crowd stepped out from behind them, all because this man did not have the distinctive brows of the others.

"This kid is a hybrid of our clan and the Hyuga clan. He has awakened his bloodline limit and can detect situations several kilometers away. We sent him here this time to verify whether the information you provided is accurate."

The leader of the Kaguya clan patted the man on the shoulder and said in a cold voice,

"If you dare to deceive us, we'll make you die with ten thousand bones piercing your heart."

Just as the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Whirlpools and the Senju clan of the inland region often intermarry, the Kaguya clan has also maintained close ties with the Hyuga clan since ancient times, with frequent marriages to strengthen their relationship.

The unremarkable man who emerged was a hybrid of their clan and the Hyuga clan.

Although they did not awaken the powerful Shikotsumyaku of their clan, they did awaken a mutated Byakugan. Their eyes were not white like those of the Hyuga clan, and at first glance, they looked like an ordinary ninja.

"Kaguya Takuya, go and scout out if the Uchiha's deployment ahead matches the intelligence."

The man whose name was called immediately nodded, got up, and sneaked into the outer perimeter of the Uchiha clan.

"Byakugan, activate!"

Halfway there, the man raised his hand and formed a hand seal. His originally dark pupils turned pure white, but there were no prominent veins on his temples like those of the Hyuga clan.

However, although it is called the White Eye, his eyes are not pure White Eyes; they only have the function of seeing into the distance, which may be related to his impure bloodline.

However, thanks to this ability, he was quite popular within the clan. After all, there weren't many ninjas with reconnaissance abilities in this era, especially for a taijutsu-based clan like the Kaguya clan, who needed information about the enemy's location even more in battle.

Kaguya Takuya activated his mutated Byakugan and spotted the Uchiha outpost camp several miles away. He scanned the people in the camp, secretly noting their numbers, before circling around to another direction to continue his reconnaissance.

On the hillside, the Kaguya clan and the mysterious figure remained locked in a standoff. With Kaguya Takuya's return, the atmosphere between the two sides reached a freezing point.

"Takuya, how's the reconnaissance going?"

"Captain Sosuke, my reconnaissance shows that the Uchiha clan's outer defenses are consistent with the intelligence."

Kaguya Takuya, panting as he rushed back, reported to the square-faced Kaguya Sosuke that maintaining the Byakugan was also extremely physically demanding.

"Hahaha, heaven is on my side!"

Kaguya Sosuke, having confirmed the intelligence's accuracy, burst into laughter, looking down at the mysterious figure who had remained silent until now.

"It seems you really have a deep hatred for the Uchiha clan, but don't worry, after tonight, the Uchiha will no longer exist in this world."
