Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 28 Mina Uzumaki (Please continue reading)

"Kakashi, put these in the storage scroll. We'll split the profits after we leave!"

After killing Iwata Kumaji, Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi went to the Iwata family's treasury. Because Iwata Kumaji had taken most of the guards with him when he left, the Iwata family was unusually empty.

They couldn't stop the two Chunin at all, even though they used a lot of chakra.

Kakashi was also a little dazzled by the piles of money in front of him. He had only earned a few thousand taels for completing a D-rank mission before, but now there were tens of millions of taels in front of him.

"The captain made me do it; I didn't really want to."

Kakashi reassured himself, but quickly took out a storage scroll and sealed the banknotes, jewelry, and other items in the vault into it, not even sparing the bottles and jars.

After packing up, Kakashi carefully placed the storage scroll into his ninja tool pouch. Then, turning his head, he saw Uchiha Yoichi's disdainful look and immediately said with a serious expression, "We can't leave any clues."

"Let's leave here first and head to Sanmachi Town."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi leaped onto the roof and headed straight out of the city; as for the Sanmachi Town mentioned earlier, it was a small town on the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth.

Fifty miles south of Sanmachi Town lies the Kannabi Bridge, a vital transportation route connecting the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass.

When the remaining guards of the Iwata family returned, they found only the Iwata family's house had been looted.

Seeing the chaos at the Iwata residence, the guard leader staggered and ran out in a panic, shouting, "Go, go report to the Daimyo! This is all the work of the Cloud Ninja!!"

Meanwhile, the ninja from Kumogakure who came to hunt down Uchiha Yoichi also arrived in the Land of Grass.

However, once they got here, they lost specific information about Uchiha Yoichi and needed to send someone to investigate.

"Have you found out where that Uchiha is?"

"Lord Ai, Lord Osaï, we have information confirming that the other party is on a mission in the Land of Grass. We have already sent people to investigate their exact location."

Upon hearing this, Ai said, "The Land of Grass? That's fine. We can kill him and leave immediately. If it were in Konoha, it would be quite troublesome!"

Feeling guilty and eager to make a contribution, Osayi said to A, "A, how about I go and clear out a few outposts on the Konoha border?"

"Please don't, Lord Osai."

A female Cloud Ninja spoke up, advising, "We don't have a suitable reason. If we do this, Konoha will retaliate in kind, and the friction between the two countries could escalate into war!"

If they were to hunt down someone who had mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, then the Hidden Cloud Village would certainly be in the right. However, if they were to use this as a pretext to clear out Konoha's border outposts, then Konoha would consider it a provocation of war.

When that happens, the two great ninja villages will definitely go to war, and Iwagakure will be overjoyed.

Ai said, "Osayi, let's kill that Uchiha who got the secret technique from you first."

"I understand, Ai."

Of the seven members of the Cloud Ninja group, one was there to contact the village and two were there to deliver intelligence; the remaining four were all powerful individuals.

A while later, the Cloud Ninja who had been gathering information returned, but his expression was rather grim. He entered and said, "Lord Ai, something terrible has happened! Rumors are spreading throughout the capital of the Land of Grass that our Cloud Ninja killed Minister Iwata of the Land of Grass, plundered the Iwata family's property, and even killed a relative of Minister Kawaki of the Land of Earth."

"Damn it, how come I didn't know about this mission!"

Ai was taken aback by what he heard, and then angrily shouted, before turning his head to look at the woman in linen clothes who was with him; the latter shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

If such an assassination mission truly existed, it would undoubtedly be Rank A or S, and would be known to almost everyone in the Land of Grass, allowing the Cloud Ninja to declare the mission a failure.

"Lord Ai, it's probably another ninja village framing Kumogakure. After all, the Raikage didn't warn us before we came to the Land of Grass."

"That must be a frame-up! You bastards, I hope I never run into you again!"

Suddenly, Mabui spoke up and guessed, "Lord Ai, could it be that Uchiha who learned Lightning Release Chakra Mode? This is the Raikage's signature ninjutsu. If someone uses this, it's easy to misunderstand that we did it."

After Mabui said that, most of the other Cloud Ninjas realized what was going on and their faces turned angry.

They stole their secret techniques and now they're trying to pin this dirty trick of assassinating noble ministers on the Cloud Village. What a bastard!

"hope, hurry up and find out information about that guy. Once we find him, I'm going to gouge out his eyes!"

"Yes, Lord Ai!"

--------------

After arriving in Sanmachi Town, Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi found an inn to stay at.

Upon arriving in the town, he and Kakashi had changed out of all their ninja attire and even used a transformation jutsu, making it impossible for anyone else to guess that the three of them were ninjas.

After entering the house, Uchiha Yoichi released his transformation jutsu and dispelled the genjutsu on the red-haired female ninja.

After breaking free of the illusion, the red-haired female ninja immediately kicked backward, but she quickly retreated and leaned against the corner of the wall.

"Don't be nervous. I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them wrong, you'll become my badge of honor."

Uchiha Yoichi pointed at Kakashi, who was standing to the side with a sword in his arms. Upon hearing this, Kakashi glanced at him with dead fish eyes.

The red-haired female ninja glanced at Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi with a hint of fear in her eyes, then nodded silently.

So Uchiha Yoichi went straight to the point and asked, "Are you from the Uzumaki clan? You must have been the sensory ninja in that Grass Ninja squad. And the teeth marks on your arm, you must have been used as a healing pack because biting someone would quickly heal an injury."

Uchiha Yoichi's words made the red-haired female ninja tremble, and Kakashi, who was standing to the side, also became more serious after hearing these words.

No wonder the captain insisted on bringing this female ninja back; she's from the Uzumaki clan, a sensory ninja, and biting her can even heal injuries.

After hearing this, Kakashi realized the value of this female ninja; it was far more valuable than a B-rank mission.

"I am from the Uzumaki clan."

"What's the name?"

".Mina."

Do you still have family in Kusagakure?

".No."

"You can't go back to Kusagakure then. Come back to Konoha with me!"

As soon as Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, he noticed a hint of resistance flash in Uzumaki Mina's eyes; a possibility occurred to him, so he continued speaking.

"To be precise, it means coming back to the Uchiha clan with me. There are quite a few people in the Uchiha clan who don't have a good relationship with Konoha, and I'm one of them. If you come back to the Uchiha clan with me, you don't need to worry about what Konoha will do to you!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Kakashi immediately covered his forehead.

He knew that Uchiha Yoichi's relationship with the village was so-so, but to say it so openly was very much suspected of being a traitor. Moreover, he also said that there were many such people in the Uchiha clan, which really put him, a Konoha Chunin, in a difficult position.

When Mina heard this, she also considered it. If she said she wanted to leave, it would definitely be unrealistic. The other party knew that she was a member of the Uzumaki clan and had so many abilities. If she wanted to leave, she might get stabbed.

However, Mina Uzumaki doesn't like Konoha. Otherwise, she could have gone directly to Konoha when she fled from the Land of Whirlpools. Why would she have gone all the way across the Land of Fire to the Land of Grass?

However, Uchiha Yoichi's statement that his relationship with Konoha wasn't great was enough to convince her. After thinking for a few minutes, Uzumaki Mina finally answered.

"it is good."
