I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 50: Everyone's an Acquaintance (Please continue reading)

"My lord, I am Uzuki Yugao. Please take care of me in the future."

At this moment, Uzuki Yugao's innocent and naive appearance revealed three parts excitement, four parts bewilderment, and three parts helplessness, making her look exactly like a novice ninja.

Although Uchiha Yoru showed no outward expression upon seeing this scene, a surge of emotions welled up within him.

Uzuki Yugao! No wonder she looked so familiar. Beneath her long purple hair was a still-youthful and shy face. Uchiha Yoru secretly pondered, something was wrong!

"Brother Ye, Uzuki Yugao comes from a commoner family. She just graduated last year with a perfect score in her academic subjects. Moreover, she is meticulous and can assist the police department with its work."

It was obvious that beneath Uchiha Shisui's relaxed smile, he was looking for an assistant, a clerical secretary, or, to put it bluntly, an office servant.

After all, each department and class has assistants. In the literature section, most of the materials are from women, while in the martial arts section, they are from elite ninjas.

Seeing Shisui's kind expression, Uchiha Yoru also smiled. Looking at the still-naive Uzuki Yugao who had only recently graduated, he smiled and said, "Alright, go down and familiarize yourself with the work."

"Thank you, sir." Uzuki Yugao bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle to express her gratitude, her face filled with an excited smile of anticipation for the future.

However, just as Uzuki Yugao went out and closed the door, Uchiha Yoru's smile gradually turned cold. The innocence in Uzuki Yugao's eyes disappeared as she closed the door as well, while Shisui, standing to the side, did not notice anything.

The first page of the personnel information was about Uzuki Yugao. Uchiha Yoru squinted at the information. She graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of eleven, more than half a year ago. Her team leader was an ordinary Chunin, and her teammates were all civilians. She was described as meticulous and also knew some basic medical ninjutsu. Her best skill was swordsmanship.

"Brother Yoru?" Shisui looked puzzled as he watched Uchiha Yoru constantly flipping through documents.

However, after reviewing all the information, Uchiha Yoru's eyes flashed with a cold light. He raised his head and stared at Shisui with a gloomy expression, which startled the latter.

"Stop the water, the Seventh Division of the Police Department has indeed been infiltrated like a sieve."

"What?" Shisui was still looking bewildered, but Uchiha Yoru slammed the three people's files heavily on the table in annoyance.

Uchiha Shisui may lack political awareness, but he was an elite Jonin. When he saw his older brother pull out these three documents, his face immediately darkened. One of the documents was about Uzuki Yugao, a document he had specially selected. Not only was she of impeccable background, but he had also placed this document on top.

"Brother Ye, do you want to!" At this moment, Shisui had lost his former naivety after doing so many dark things for the Root. His eyes were filled with a cold light, as if he were asking if he wanted to slit his own throat.

However, upon seeing this scene, Uchiha Yoru rubbed his temples in exasperation, staring intently at the three people's information before finally shaking his head and saying, "I only learned about these three people's information by chance from Orochimaru-sensei. As for how many others are secretly involved, nobody knows. Keep a close eye on these three while Shisui secretly checks everyone else as well. Don't alert them."

"Just have someone keep a close eye on Uzuki Yugao and Gekko Hayate. As for this Yakushi Kabuto, he's from Root."

Kabuto Yakushi, Hayate Gekko, and Yugao Uzuki—these were the three pieces of information he had drawn out. He was the only one who knew about them; otherwise, who else could have found them? But upon hearing this, Shisui felt a surge of anger, and his dissatisfaction with Root intensified.

The Uchiha clan has practically separated the Seventh Division into an independent force, completely under Lord Orochimaru's command, and even a secret black glove of Root. As a result, we do the dirty and hard work, and you don't even trust us and secretly send spies. This is what Shisui is most angry about.

Uchiha Yoru shook his head, but inwardly he sneered. Knowing is not scary; what is scary is not knowing.

"Shisui, the callus on Uzuki Yugao's tiger's mouth just now proves that she has been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, which is consistent with the information. After all, she is a commoner ninja. As for which faction she belongs to, you don't need to dig too deep. Just keep an eye on them secretly."

"Brother Yoru!" Seeing that Uchiha Yoru wouldn't let him dig deeper, Shisui hesitated, but Yoru's expression immediately turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Shisui! Obey orders!"

"Yes!" Uchiha Shisui agreed reflexively, but his heart was filled with a question: why did Brother Yoru stop him from continuing the investigation? And it seemed that when Brother Yoru saw the identities of these three people, his eyes were filled with disbelief and pain. Could it be! Could it be!

Uchiha Shisui grew increasingly alarmed as he thought about it. He dared not think any further and lowered his head. Uchiha Yoru, on the other hand, secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. If he had told Shisui directly, the effect would have been completely reversed. The more he prevented Yoru from investigating, the more it itched to do so. When Yoru secretly investigated and found out who was behind it all, he would know everything.

From the very beginning, he feigned pain and shock, intending to show Shisui that he already knew who these three people were working for. However, for the sake of the village and the family, he directly ordered that no investigation be conducted. When Shisui learns the whole truth, he will only realize how heavy the burden he has been carrying.

He went to great lengths for the Uchiha clan, after all, he didn't want to personally experience the night of their massacre a few years later.

Although the couple Uzuki Yugao and Gekko Hayate are tragic, it can be seen from the original work that they are both members of the Anbu. When did the Anbu begin training them?

He didn't know that, but one thing he was sure of was that Konoha was currently short of manpower, and with the Third Hokage returning to power, he would definitely be focusing on cultivating and developing his own faction.

"Anbu members?" Uchiha Yoru sneered inwardly. Sending someone of this age to infiltrate was indeed the most likely way to be overlooked.

During the Chunin Exams, both of them were Special Jonin. Hayate Gekko was understandable since he was a Kekkei ninja, but wasn't the Transparent Release the best for stealth ninjas? So, Yugao Uzuki was just an ordinary civilian.

Discovering promising talents and secretly nurturing them early on is a common tactic of the Dark Division. As for Kabuto Yakushi, everyone knows he is a member of Root.

"Brother Ye, should we just send them away casually? Or arrange for them to work in the prison?"

Knowing that the other party was a spy sent by the village's power, Uchiha Shisui knew that if he didn't take action, he would have to fight to the edge of the village.

However, Uchiha Yoru feigned exhaustion and mental exhaustion, waving his hand and sighing, "You can guard against it for a while, but not forever. Just pretend you don't know. Since you've already arranged for Uzuki Yugao to be by my side, then don't alarm them. As for these two..."

"Hayate Gekko's information is quite ordinary, so we'll proceed with the normal procedure and assign him to the patrol and security team. Kabuto Yakushi's information shows that he is skilled in medical ninjutsu, so we'll add him to the logistics team. Remember not to alert these three."

"clear."

Uchiha Yoru chose not to alert the three. After all, since he already knew their backgrounds, pretending not to know was sometimes the best course of action. Otherwise, if they sent more spies, they would be completely in the dark.

"Shisui, continue your investigation secretly and see how many of the people recruited this time are problematic."

Uchiha Yoru didn't believe there were only a few people; there must be more. Shisui, upon hearing this, showed a solemn expression and felt a pang of sorrow. Why were they so wary of the Uchiha, even though they were from the same village?
