Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 56 Father and Son Coincidentally Take Action

"The envoys from the Land of Wind and the Hidden Sand Village have been attacked?"

When the daimyo of the Land of Rivers heard this news, he was incredulous. Just a few days ago, those people were arrogantly saying that he, the daimyo, might be attacked, but a few days later, they were the ones who were the first to be attacked.

"First, not a single one survived?"

"No, and the corpses left behind all belonged to the Daimyo's family in the Land of Wind; not a single corpse was left in the Sand Village."

The official from Daming Prefecture spoke up.

The corpses of ninjas can reveal a lot of information, so after killing the remaining people, Hatake Sakumo took all the ninja corpses with him.

"Quickly, tell the Land of Wind and the Sand Village about this! The Daimyo's Mansion must be on high alert! No one can afford to make a mistake in the near future!"

The daimyo of the Land of Rivers is truly terrified. Even the ninjas from the Sand Village have died. So, is it his turn next?

He really wanted to sneak away, but he was afraid that the people of Konoha were constantly monitoring the Daimyo's residence.

After a moment's thought, the daimyo of the Land of Rivers gritted his teeth and ordered his officials, "Have the people from Sunagakure come as soon as possible, and send more men; we can discuss anything they say, provided they send more men!"

"Yes, Lord Daimyo."

Upon hearing this, the officials of Daming Prefecture immediately went to make arrangements, and at the same time, they made the defenses and patrols of Daming Prefecture even more stringent, striving to ensure that not even a bird could fly in.

The order to increase patrols also affected Uchiha Yoichi. What was supposed to be a relaxed job these past two days suddenly became very busy. When he was on guard duty, he would usually have his shadow clones handle the situation, while he and Kakashi would go and do some intelligence gathering.

There's no time to relax now; everywhere is on high alert, and there's nowhere to wander around.

Kakashi originally had some moral principles, but under the persuasion and guidance of Uchiha Yoichi, all of Kakashi's principles were suppressed.

The guards had been on duty for a long time, and even his resting place was patrolled by other samurai.

However, he gained nothing in the past two days. He used the "Steal" skill twice on the guards of the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Rivers, and signed in with his spiritual energy twice.

The spiritual energy stolen this time was different from the chakra stolen from Mina Uzumaki last time. This time, all the spiritual energy was integrated into Uchiha Yoichi's soul, causing his spiritual energy to surge.

With increased spiritual energy, the Sharingan became even more readily available.

Not long after Uchiha Yoichi evolved into the three-tomoe Sharingan, he stole spiritual energy twice and felt that releasing genjutsu was easier and more powerful.

He used Sharingan genjutsu to hypnotize a samurai guard from the Land of Iron without the guard noticing, and even if the guard woke up later, he wouldn't remember being hypnotized by Sharingan genjutsu.

Furthermore, to facilitate physical contact and theft, Uchiha Yoichi developed a fairly good relationship with the guards of the Daimyo's mansion.

While on patrol, Kakashi suddenly asked in a low voice, "Captain, why the sudden increase in defenses? Is someone really going to assassinate the Daimyo?"

"The increased defenses are definitely out of fear, but I don't know the source of that fear. I haven't been out gathering intelligence lately either."

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said that just finding the location of the Daimyo's treasury took him a lot of time, and it was not easy to break in.

Over the next few days, Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi were engaged in long-term guard and security duties.

However, Uchiha Yoichi would still find opportunities to steal from the samurai every day. Apart from stealing clothes and samurai swords twice, he stole body energy on the other three occasions.

After stealing the samurai, he collapsed to the ground, while Uchiha Yoichi felt a sudden lightness in his body and gained a lot of strength out of nowhere.

Having stolen energy from the body three times in a row, Uchiha Yoichi's body became stronger.

This ability is so overpowered that Uchiha Yoichi even considered stealing from those powerful ninjas, hoping to get lucky and steal a bloodline limit.

It's a bit dangerous when you're just casually stealing something.

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

"Captain, the security in Daming Prefecture seems a bit lax today. Apart from the regular guards, some of them seem to have already gone to rest."

Yamanaka Ryosuke stared at the map of Daimyo Prefecture for a long time before confirming this information.

This was also thanks to the fact that the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Rivers did not have any sensory ninjas, allowing Yamanaka Ryosuke to freely use sensory ninjutsu to ascertain the movements of those samurai who had cultivated chakra.

Another ninja in the squad asked, "Why are you so relaxed today? Could it be a trap?"

Ryosuke Yamanaka stroked his chin and said, "That's possible, but it's also possible that we were on too high alert the past few days, causing many people to not get enough rest. The person I possessed with my Mind Transfer Technique is unlikely to fall into a trap. Captain, what should we do?"

He only provided the intelligence that had been collected; the specific actions to be taken were up to Sakumo Hatake to decide.

"This is an opportunity."

After pondering for a moment, Hatake Sakumo spoke with a slightly solemn tone: "Although I don't know how Sunagakure found out about our mission, that group has been out of contact with Sunagakure for five days, and the Daimyo of the Land of Rivers must have notified Sunagakure as well."

"The longer we delay, the less chance we'll have, so let's act tonight!"

Although they twice blocked the messengers sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Rivers to the Land of Wind to deliver messages, after five days without any news, the Sand Village must have guessed that something had happened to their people.

"Get ready, and let's proceed according to the previously established plan!"

"Yes, Captain."

After the others responded, they quickly went to prepare.

Sakumo Hatake glanced at the sky. He had carried out many dangerous missions in the past, the most dangerous of which was in the heart of the Land of Wind, but he had never felt so uneasy as he did today.

Then Sakumo Hatake shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore. After this mission was over, he would return to the village and take a long leave to spend some quality time with Kakashi.

The night was as black as ink, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

Inside the Daming Mansion, only lanterns and electric lights can provide light; otherwise, the difficulty of guarding and maintaining order in the pitch-black night would be greatly increased.

Suddenly, Uchiha Yoichi sensed a fluctuation of chakra not far away. After his spiritual energy became stronger, he seemed to have become more sensitive to chakra.

The next second, a series of explosions came from outside.

The explosion sounded like a signal, instantly waking up the sleeping Daming Prefecture.

Kakashi immediately reached for the short sword at his waist, but Uchiha Yang said, "Don't worry, no one's here at night. Just follow the mission orders."

Despite saying this, Uchiha Yoichi did not let his guard down. Just from the shouts of battle, he knew that there was a lot of commotion tonight. Fortunately, they did not have any daimyo guarding them, otherwise they would have run into the enemy head-on.

Just then, a figure suddenly leaped down from the wall and rushed towards the castle tower.

Uchiha Yoichi thought to himself that he was in trouble, but he still took out ten shuriken and threw them out in threes and fours.

The shuriken bounced and struck again in mid-air, instantly creating a hail of shuriken that attacked the intruding enemy. Several shuriken even attacked the enemy from bizarre angles.

"Uchiha-style throwing technique?"

Sakumo Hatake felt an immediate sense of familiarity upon seeing these shuriken thrown. He drew his short sword and deflected the incoming shuriken one by one, when another guarding the castle tower suddenly drew his sword and charged at him.

when!

The short sword, the wind blade, and the faint rumble of thunder that seemed to flash across his body—Sakumo Hatake was intimately familiar with this strike.

This is his White Fang Knife Technique!
