Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 200 Do you have any illegitimate daughters outside?!

"Enemy attack! Enemy presence!"

The deer made no attempt to hide; in fact, they swaggered around quite openly.

So it was quickly discovered by the other people in the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Rivers, and the originally quiet Daimyo's mansion instantly became restless.

Torches illuminated Daming Prefecture.

A large number of guards, armed with long spears, surrounded the deer.

In Shika's eyes, most of the people here were ordinary people, except for the leading guard who had chakra fluctuations and was probably a ninja.

Even so, this person has very little chakra, probably at most a Chunin, and poses no threat to Shikatoki.

"Who are you? This is the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Rivers!" the captain shouted.

"My name is Nara Shikatoki. I should be somewhat famous in the ninja world. I want to see the daimyo of the Land of Rivers." Shikatoki's tone was calm, but his natural energy filled the entire daimyo's mansion. As long as the person in front of him said no, Shikatoki would naturally have his own way of seeing the daimyo of the Land of Rivers.

The captain had clearly heard of Nara Shikatoki's name, and quickly waved for his men to put down their spears.

"Are you Lord Nara Shikatoki from Konoha Village?"

The captain, afraid of admitting his mistake, spoke up to confirm.

Lu Shi nodded. "Yes."

"Lord Lu Shi, please wait a moment, I will go and inform you of your name immediately." The captain said without hesitation.

Many years have passed since the Third Shinobi World War, and Shikatoki only goes out on missions occasionally. Therefore, the impression that the new generation of children has of Shikatoki is actually similar to Naruto's impression of Hashirama Senju.

Everyone says it's amazing, but they've never seen it.

But this captain is different; he actually participated in the Third Shinobi World War.

Nara Shikatoki's strength is undeniable; he was merely a paid bodyguard for the daimyo of the land of rivers—it was hardly worth risking his life!

Thank you.

The captain entered the daimyo's room.

The daimyo of Kawano Province was somewhat alarmed. "What's going on?"

"Daimyo, it is Lord Nara Shikatoki of Konoha Village who has urgent business with you."

Upon hearing that it was Nara Shikatoki, the daimyo of Kawanoku breathed a sigh of relief. Although the daimyo of Kawanoku had never contacted Nara Shikatoki, Shikatoki still had a very good reputation among the daimyo circles.

"Since it's Lu Shijun who's visiting, I definitely have to see him."

The daimyo of the land of Kawa quickly tidied his clothes and went out with the captain.

Upon seeing the guards surrounding the Nara deer, the daimyo of the River Province was startled. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way! This is my honored guest, how dare you treat Shikatoki-kun like this!"

The guards were somewhat at a loss when they heard the name.

The captain coughed and said, "Alright, alright, you can all go back to patrol. This is just a misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, the guards all left.

The daimyo of the land of Kawa quickly walked up to Shikatoki, his face beaming with smiles. "Oh my, Shikatoki-kun, I've heard so much about you. Everyone says you're handsome, dashing, and your strength is beyond question."

"Having seen you today, I can only say that all those rumors were an understatement; your handsomeness is simply breathtaking!"

The daimyo of Kawanoku was full of flattery.

I have to flatter them!

Despite being the daimyo of the Land of Rivers, the Land of Rivers is a small country whose only notable achievements are tourism and the village of Yugakure.

The situation in Tangyin Village is still somewhat unclear.

What about the Nara deer?

The ninja world's most famous figures, and the daimyo of various countries all speak highly of Shikatoki. Which of these daimyo is not more prestigious than him? Now that Shikatoki has come to see him in the middle of the night, he must have something to say.

I just don't know if it's a bad thing or a good thing.

But no matter what, it's always good to lower your stance first.

Shikatoki looked at the sensible daimyo of the land of rivers. Normally, he might have teased him a bit, but Shikatoki wasn't in the mood for that now.

"Your Excellency, I'll get straight to the point. I'm here to inquire about the mission you issued."

Nara Shikatoki handed the mission scroll to the daimyo of the river province.

Daiming knew what kind of mission it was just by glancing at it.

After all, he personally requested and issued this task.

"Shikatoshi-kun, what do you want to ask? As long as it's something I know, I'll answer it to the best of my ability!" The daimyo of the land of Kawano immediately declared.

"Thank you very much then." Lu Shi thanked him first, then asked directly, "I saw on the mission that it says to investigate a cult. I want to know what kind of cult is in Tangyin Village?"

"Actually, I don't know either. I only know that these people worship evil gods and that the village of Yugakure has been heavily infiltrated. That's why I issued a mission in Konoha to investigate the situation first."

"If it's not serious, I can send someone to handle it. If it is serious, I'll issue another mission for Konoha Village to resolve it."

The daimyo of the land of rivers poured out everything he knew.

Lu Shi frowned slightly when he heard the words "evil god".

What the hell!

If the evil gods are gone, why have evil god cults emerged?

"Why did you limit the missions to members of the Uchiha clan?"

The daimyo of the Land of Rivers smiled sheepishly upon hearing this, "I've heard the Uchiha clan is quite powerful!"

"Do you know if there's a little girl in this cult?" Lu Shi asked tentatively.

The daimyo of Kawano-no-kuni shook his head immediately, "Shikatoki-kun, how would I know that? If I knew, I wouldn't need to spend money to hire someone to investigate."

The daimyo of Kawanoku was not lying about this.

Shikatoki pondered for a moment, realizing that the information available to the daimyo of the land of rivers was extremely limited.

Regardless of whether this cult that worships an evil god is the same one from the original work, Shikatoki still needs to make a trip to Yugakure.

"Thank you for informing me, Your Excellency. I apologize for disturbing you tonight."

Shikatoki's words relieved the daimyo of Kawanokuni, who then said somewhat politely, "Shikatoki-kun, you're too kind. It's so late, shall I have someone arrange a room for you?"

"No, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

The deer vanished in an instant.

The daimyo of the land of rivers waited a moment, and only after confirming that Nara Shikatoki had really left did he raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Even though Nara Shika is just like an ordinary person, why does he feel so oppressive?

"Daimyo, Lord Shikatoki came all this way in the middle of the night just to ask about this mission?" The captain was a little confused. Was this too dedicated? Was this the mark of a Konoha ninja?

The daimyo of the Land of Rivers had a deep look in his eyes. "I heard that the Konoha ninja who came to carry out the mission before had something happen. It's probably related to the Hidden Hot Spring Village. Otherwise, why would they send Nara Shikatoki for an A-rank mission?"

"Oh, I see! What should we do then?"

"This has nothing to do with us, go to sleep!"

After leaving the daimyo's mansion in the Land of Rivers, Shikatoki did not go directly to Yugakure Village, but instead summoned Hakumi.

"Shikatoki-sama."

Bai Si bowed respectfully.

"Bai Mi, I'm giving you a task: keep an eye on the daimyo of the River Province, and notify me immediately of any unusual movements."

"Understood, Lord Shikatoki!"

When Shikatoki first saw the Daimyo of the Land of Rivers, he noticed that there was residual chakra in his body. Although it was very little, it was definitely there. After further investigation, he found that this chakra anomaly was mostly caused by genjutsu.

The captain next to the daimyo must also know illusion magic, but he certainly doesn't have the ability to hide it this well.

This indicates that the person who cast the illusion spell on the daimyo of the land of rivers was quite skilled.

When it comes to genjutsu (illusionary techniques), the first thing that comes to mind is the Uchiha clan.

Coincidentally, two Uchiha clan members with the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in this incident.

I just don't know if it's that unknown little girl or that beast Uchiha Shinka.

Regardless of who it was, it's a fact that their name was controlled.

Once this is established, it becomes clear why the Daimyo of the Land of Rivers was controlled; it was obviously a ploy to target the Uchiha clan.

When it comes to targeting the Uchiha clan, the first choice would definitely be Uchiha Shinka.

However, according to Itachi's description, Uchiha Shinno was the second to enter the fray.

Interestingly, the first to make a move was the unknown little girl.

"Could that little girl also have a grudge against the Uchiha clan? Or is she specifically targeting Fugaku?" Shikatoki muttered to himself. "No, I have to go back to Konoha first."

After making up his mind, Shika left behind a shadow, exchanged it with the shadow of Konoha Village, and returned to Konoha.

In the dead of night, Shika went straight to the Uchiha clan.

Upon entering the Uchiha Fugaku residence, they discovered that Kaname was also awake!

"Shika Toki-kun".

When Fugaku Uchiha saw that they were Nara Shika, he immediately went to greet them, asking, "Is there any news?"

"Fugaku, I know this is presumptuous, but I still want to ask, do you have any illegitimate daughters outside of your marriage?!"

Shikatoki's words froze Fugaku Uchiha in place, staring at Nara Shikatoki in disbelief.
