Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 70 Gathering Intelligence

"Sigh, what a waste of an opportunity. I wish I could have drawn Yang Release chakra or a ninjutsu."

Uchiha Yangyi sighed. The Senju and Uchiha were almost two extremes. One had almost no talent for Yang Release, and the other had almost no talent for Yin Release. They were okay with some simple techniques, but it was difficult to delve into them.

As for the things he had just stolen, Uchiha Yoichi spread them out and looked at them after arriving at a secluded place.

The pink cotton triangle dress looks quite delicate; no wonder it felt a little warm to the touch when I held it.

"If I took this to Jiraiya, I could probably get at least an A-rank ninjutsu in return, or sell it for ten million ryo."

However, he is more likely to be hunted down by the two legendary Sannin.

This thing couldn't be left behind; it would be a problem no matter who found it. Uchiha Yangyi immediately burned it with Fire Release.

Uchiha Yoichi felt that Tsunade probably hadn't discovered that he was behind it, but he didn't openly wait for Mina Uzumaki to come out from the Konoha Hospital. Instead, he quietly waited for her to come out from around a corner.

After everyone finished the surgery, Uchiha Yoichi told her about his upcoming mission and that he asked Uzumaki Mina to bring three million ryo from her family to learn medical ninjutsu from Tsunade for two months.

This time, the money was paid, and Uchiha Yangyi clearly heard from Tsunade that she didn't want to get involved in village affairs. The Sannin's words are somewhat credible, so you can rest assured to learn from her.

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi went back to get the Raiga and headed straight for the village entrance.

He arrived about an hour early, and there were already people waiting at the door. Uchiha Yoichi wasn't the last one to arrive. After a while, as the meeting time approached, everyone finally arrived.

After leaving the village, Jiraiya gathered everyone together, then took out a map and pointed to a location on it, saying, "After this point, the negotiation and reconnaissance teams will separate."

"If any intelligence is discovered, have the Anbu report back. If they find any information about the Third Kazekage, they can return immediately."

After Jiraiya briefly gave his orders, he immediately commanded them to set off.

Although they were within the Land of Fire, after leaving the village, the entire group traveled in a formation of reconnaissance and support, flanking guards, and rear defense before separating.

Long journeys are nothing for ninjas; as long as they manage their chakra well, they can maintain a steady pace.

Since Jiraiya and his group were not in a hurry, it took them two days to reach the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire.

After Jiraiya stopped the group, he said to the mission squad that had been assigned the reconnaissance task, "Alright, let's split up here from now on. Everyone, please be careful."

After saying this, he led his team to the Land of Rivers for peace talks.

The remaining people, besides Uchiha Yoichi, were the other six reconnaissance teams.

Uchiha Yoichi wasn't familiar with them, so he used the Body Flicker Technique to travel away.

"Sigh, he just left already, Captain. It seems your plan to get him to join the team has failed."

One of the members of the reconnaissance team, after seeing Uchiha Yoichi leave without saying a word, said: He suddenly felt that Uchiha Yoichi was very arrogant. Although the two did not know each other, they were now carrying out the same mission, so he should at least say hello.

Squad leader Inuzuka Sansuke shook his head and said, "The other side is probably used to doing missions alone. Okay, let's ignore him. Everyone, let's discuss this."

The Land of Wind is vast and sparsely populated, so they planned to discuss dividing their reconnaissance directions to avoid several teams rushing to the same place all at once, wasting time and energy.

As for Uchiha Yoichi, he didn't need to go through all that fancy stuff; investigating Sasori directly would be enough.

There are two paths to investigating the Third Kazekage: one is to find Sasori, and the other is to find a giant serpent in Ryuchi Cave, which is the Third Kazekage's summoning beast.

Shinya had a summoning contract with the Third Kazekage. If the Third Kazekage were dead, Shinya should know. He used the Reverse Summoning Technique, but the other party didn't respond at all, so he was probably dead.

However, Shinya is in Ryuchi Cave, which is not easy to find, and the red serpent there has a bad temper, so it can only be considered as a backup option.

The main focus is finding scorpions!

As Uchiha Yoichi traveled, he secretly pondered the matter and quickly determined the direction of his reconnaissance.

Although it's unclear why Sasori attacked the Third Kazekage beforehand, if the Third Kazekage doesn't show up for an extended period, it's highly likely he's already dead.

The disappearance of a village can cause unrest and instability among its people.

"This should be it."

After disguising himself, Uchiha Yoichi arrived in a small town in the Land of Wind and went to the back alley of an izakaya (Japanese pub).

He asked the person in charge of the underground gold exchange in Chuanzhu County about other locations, and this was the location of the underground gold exchange in the Land of Wind.

Opening the hidden door reveals a staircase leading underground, where the underground gold exchange is located.

A space of nearly a thousand square meters had been excavated underground. In this vast place, there were only two people and a few lights. One of the old men, upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi, asked in a hoarse voice, "A commission? Or a bounty?"

"I need two pieces of information."

Uchiha Yoichi directly asked, "There is a puppeteer in Sunagakure named Sasori. I need to know his latest information. Secondly, please help me find out about a race with a special physique. They love nature, but they can suddenly become enraged from time to time, and when they are enraged and berserk, their appearance becomes extremely ferocious."

The second intelligence request was for Jugo and his race. Orochimaru found the location of Ryuchi Cave because he got the information from Jugo.

This is a backup plan. If we can find him, great. If not, we'll keep an eye on Sasori. If we can't even find Sasori, then we'll just go back to Konoha and tell them that the Third Kazekage is dead.

We don't have any evidence, but the intelligence is correct anyway. If you want to know, send the Anbu to find Scorpion.

"Sasori? I've heard of him. He's a genius puppeteer from Sunagakure, and apparently the grandson of Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure. He's also a renowned genius Jonin in Sunagakure."

After thinking for a moment, the old man at the underground gold exchange said, "Since we're in the Land of Wind, we should naturally learn about the Sand Village. Although they don't have more detailed information, we can still find out names and relationships with people by doing a little research."

"Investigating this kind of ninja is extremely difficult, costing 15 million; as for the other piece of information, it's much simpler. Hehe, I just transferred to the Land of Wind from another place, and the special race with a unique physique that you mentioned is exactly the one I've seen before, costing 6 million ryo."

The old man chuckled and offered Uchiha Yangyi a high price, totaling 20 million taels.

"That expensive? I just need information, not for you to assassinate him. Fine, here's the money, you'd better not lie!"

Uchiha Yoichi knew these people were greedy for money, so he took out 21 million ryo from his storage scroll, but he had already secretly made a note of this person.

Anyone who dares to blackmail him is courting death!
