Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 26 The Uzumaki Clan, Karin's Mother? (Please continue reading)

"Alright, now that you have the summoning scroll, you can capture summoning beasts."

After watching Uchiha Yoichi finish making the summoning scroll, Kakashi asked about the mission: "Shouldn't we go do the mission now?"

"What's the rush? This task isn't difficult at all."

Uchiha Yoichi looked at the summoning scroll in his hand with satisfaction, put it away, and said to Kakashi, "How's the information I asked you to gather coming along?"

"That's about it. Here's a detailed map of the area around Iwata Kumaji's house. But he seems to have sensed that someone is going to attack him. There are four more grass ninjas there."

Kakashi took out a map, placed it on the table, and explained the intelligence he had observed over the past few days.

As a minister of the Land of Grass and a minister close to the Land of Earth, Iwata Kumaji would naturally seek out more guards if he sensed that someone wanted to harm him.

His family already had more than a dozen samurai and six hired wandering ninjas, and now there are four more grass ninjas, so theoretically their defenses are at their maximum.

"I tried using ninjutsu near the Iwata family, but I didn't detect anything. They probably don't have sensory ninjas, but I've never seen them use it, so I can't tell the specific type."

After listening, Uchiha Yangyi adopted a self-serving attitude, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and said, "Well done. Although the intelligence gathering wasn't perfect, it's still very good."

Kakashi rolled his eyes and asked, "What do we do now?"

"Let's change identities first. Remember, from now on, you are Killer Bee of the Cloud Village in the Land of Grass, and I am Tsuchida of the Cloud Village. Go buy two sets of clothes later and change out of your Konoha ninja uniform."

As he spoke, Uchiha Yoichi took out two Cloud Ninja headbands from his ninja tool bag, which he had obtained during a previous mission.

"This warehouse is where the Iwata family stores grain and medicine. Iwata Kumaji plans to sell it to the Land of Earth. Coincidentally, my shadow clone encountered two people from the Land of Earth while gathering intelligence, and they were respectfully escorted to the hotel by the Iwata family."

"Tomorrow night, we'll blow this place up, then our true forms will transform into people from the Land of Earth, and we'll go and question Iwata Kumaji. Don't say a word then, leave everything to me."

"Then, have your shadow clone suddenly appear. Your shadow clone will unleash a lightning release ninjutsu to attract the attention of the cannon fodder ninjas from Iwata Kumaji's clan, while my shadow clone goes to find the grass ninja!"

"Once their attention is drawn away by the shadow clones, we'll deactivate the transformation jutsu and kill Iwata Kumaji using our Cloud Ninja identities! Remember, when you leave, shout out my identity: Cloud Ninja Tsuchida, understand, Killer Bee?"

"Oh, and remember to drop your headband when you run away in a panic."

Kakashi felt dizzy after hearing the series of action plans, but he still managed to memorize everything Uchiha Yoichi said.

After Kakashi thought about it carefully, he realized that the plan was interconnected, and once it was started, it would be like fishing, constantly pulling Iwata Kumaji into the net.

Finally, they even framed the Cloud Ninja. If the Land of Earth found out, they definitely wouldn't associate it with Konoha.

"It was really a good choice to team up with you, Captain."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi followed Uchiha Yoichi's instructions and began preparations.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yoichi was not idle either. He took the map and information provided by Kakashi and prepared to conduct another reconnaissance.

For a ninja to survive, intelligence is of paramount importance. As long as the intelligence is accurate and preparations are made in advance, even a ninja below the Kage level can be rendered useless.

Therefore, Uchiha Yoichi was always very careful to confirm information when carrying out missions; this world is too easy to die in, so you can't be careless.

Furthermore, Uchiha Yoichi also utilizes the technology of the ninja world. Telescopes have long existed in the ninja world, but they are rarely seen among ninjas. Last time he left the village, he found a craftsman who made him a 20x telescope.

The furthest you can see is about two to three kilometers away, and as long as there are no obstructions, it's better than many people who just roll their eyes.

After confirming that the map route was correct, Uchiha Yoichi found a relatively high place and used binoculars to observe the activities at Iwata's house.

"Red hair, and what kind of ninjutsu is she using?"

Uchiha Yoichi noticed a strange grass ninja. After observing him for a while, he noticed that the grass ninja seemed to use a ninjutsu every now and then, and the frequency of its release was somewhat similar to sensory ninjutsu.

"If he really is a sensory-type ninja, then Kakashi would have been discovered, but it's better to test him first."

Then Uchiha Yoichi used a shadow clone to send the shadow clone to the vicinity of the Iwata family, and used a ninjutsu again.

This time, Uchiha Yoichi observed very carefully from a distance. As soon as his shadow clone finished using his ninjutsu, two grass ninjas, accompanied by a red-haired female grass ninja, came out of the Iwata family and rushed towards the location of his shadow clone.

"She really is a sensory-type ninja. Red hair, a woman... Could she be Karin's mother?"

After dispelling the shadow clones, Uchiha Yoichi pondered. Sensory ninjas were extremely rare, even in Konoha, and the number of them in Kusagakure was considered a stroke of good fortune.

And he has red hair.

"The plan needs to be changed. This female ninja will also be a target. We'll rescue her first, and then find out more details."

If she really is Karin's mother, then her abilities are truly invaluable.

It possesses powerful healing abilities, sensory abilities, and potentially a diamond-like seal.

"We might have to change our plans. Let's go back and discuss it with Kakashi first."

Uchiha Yoichi originally planned to kill Iwata Kumaji, frame the Cloud Ninja, and leave; but he changed his plan to abduct another female ninja.

When Kakashi returned, Uchiha Yoichi told him his thoughts, but only mentioned that the red-haired female ninja from the Grass Village was a sensory ninja, without mentioning other abilities that might be from the Uzumaki clan.

"Captain, it's not a good idea to abduct a woman during a mission. I suggest we wait until after the mission is over."

"Kakashi, it's wrong not to see the captain's intentions, but it's even more wrong to suspect that the captain has bad intentions."

Uchiha Yoichi snorted and continued speaking.

"You don't understand the value of this female ninja. I'll verify it carefully after we capture her. But for now, do as I say. Let's rearrange the plan now. Postpone the time. And give me your explosive tags."

Uchiha Yoichi reached out to Kakashi for the explosive tags. Although there were cases of human bombs in the ninja world, he should be able to catch the grass ninja off guard.

Even if it doesn't succeed, it'll still give them a surprise.

After carefully discussing the division of labor, Uchiha Yoichi disguised himself and went out.

He had just learned Sharingan genjutsu before the mission. He couldn't say that his success rate in controlling ninjas was 100%, but if it was a wandering samurai, it would definitely be no problem for Uchiha Yoichi.
