I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 90 Spy Xiyan

With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, revealing a brightly lit, empty living room filled with the aroma of food.

Uchiha Yoru, who opened the door, squinted, his three-tomoe Sharingan coldly scanning his surroundings as he rotated. His hand still gripped the Kusanagi sword, creating an eerie atmosphere.

The air was filled with a pleasant aroma, and the living room lights seemed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. But damn it, nobody was home! Who the hell came to his house? And who the hell cooked for him?

Even with his systematic training at the ninja academy, he was completely bewildered and couldn't figure it out. Who was it? Countless images flashed through his mind, but he still couldn't come up with the answer.

Chakra was attached to the soles of his feet, and he walked on the wooden floor without making a sound. In this way, Uchiha Yoru slowly walked to the entrance of the living room.

The first thing you see is a simple meal and flavorful soup laid out on the table in the living room. Although the heat isn't as intense, the aroma in the air is even more enticing.

Nobody here?

Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes. He held his breath the moment he smelled the first fragrance in the air, and at the same time, a venomous snake slithered out from his sleeve and crawled around the room, opening all the windows in the living room.

Is there any poison in the aroma? Ventilation is an instinctive reaction.

Inside the brightly lit room, Uchiha Yoru calmly walked up to the second floor. Meanwhile, venomous snakes crawled around the walls, hiding in dark corners or blind spots, ready to strike unexpectedly.

With a sizzle, the wooden sliding door opened, and as soon as a figure appeared in the bedroom, Uchiha Yoru's three-tomoe Sharingan narrowed, a look of shock flashing across his face. At the same time, the outer wall in his direction was already covered with venomous snakes, but they were not visible from the angle of the view from inside the bedroom.

In an instant, all the venomous snakes stopped, and looking at the situation in his bedroom, Uchiha Yoru was stunned, but he still managed to force a smile.

"Yugao Uzuki! Can you explain why you're in my house? And in my bedroom no less!"

As he said this, Uchiha Yoru's smile became dangerous, and at the same time, the venomous snakes on the outer wall flicked their tongues again, preparing to launch an attack.

At this moment, Uzuki Yugao had not only tidied up the bedroom spotlessly, but she had also made the bed on the cot and spread out the blankets, as if she was just waiting to go to sleep. However, this was not her room.

At this moment, Uzuki Yugao was kneeling on the wooden floor, maintaining the etiquette of a scholar's descent from the moment she opened the door, her head bowed and her shoulders trembling as if she were shaking.

"Captain Ye~ Ye~, I heard from Sister Meizi that you can help me solve my current troubles."

With her jaw trembling, Uzuki Yugao spoke in a weak voice like an abandoned kitten. Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and asked, "What trouble?"

What exactly is Uzuki Yugao up to? Is it his own plan or is the Anbu plotting something? Just as Uchiha Yoru was lost in thought, Uzuki Yugao's next words surprised him, and then he revealed a meaningful smile.

"Captain Ye, my father..."

When Uzuki Yugao revealed her enormous debt, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but take a deep look at the girl. What a formidable ANBU! To approach him with such methods. He had underestimated the ninjas of this world, or perhaps he had been negligent.

The ninja world has various overt missions such as assassination, interception, escort, and search, but there are also many clandestine missions, especially espionage.

A spy's mission is to get close to the other side and use all available resources to reach the target.

With a flick of his finger, the venomous snakes hidden around the outer wall of the bedroom slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows, but he still did not lower his guard.

"A debt of three million is indeed a huge burden for an ordinary ninja like you."

Uchiha Yoru calmly walked into the bedroom, slowly loosening his grip on the Kusanagi sword, but he did not let down his guard.

Although it was for the mission, when she actually faced him, Uzuki Yugao's face turned pale, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and a forced smile appeared on her cheeks.

"Lord Ye, I am willing to be your concubine, or even your lover."

With her pale lips trembling, Uzuki Yugao uttered a sentence that trampled on her own dignity. She knew that once she said those words, if the other party even nodded, she would be forever stained with this mark.

Looking at Uzuki Yugao's long purple hair, her cool face showing a hint of bewildered panic, and her lips already devoid of color, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Dirty methods indeed."

However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the other person calmly and asked, "Did you cook the food downstairs?"

"Huh?" Uzuki Yugao was a little taken aback, but when she did, a look of panic crossed her face as she nodded and said, "Lord Yoru, it was me. I realized you hadn't returned yet, so I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Uzuki Yugao hurriedly got out of the taxi and bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry, I moved into your kitchen without your permission."

The panicked expression on Uzuki Yugao's ANBU ninja's face at this moment seemed genuine, but Uchiha Yoru squinted and sneered. What a fine ANBU, what a fine Third Hokage, truly one thing leading to another, this scheme is never-ending.

As a novice in the martial arts world, whether everything before him is real or fake, he has to face the challenges.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru calmly nodded slightly. "You haven't eaten either, have you? Go downstairs and bring up the food from the living room. We can eat together in the bedroom."

"Ah? Yes, sir."

At this moment, Uzuki Yugao's train of thought was clearly not keeping up, and she was even a little flustered. She hurriedly got up, bent over at a ninety-degree angle, and then ran downstairs in a panic.

……

Inside the bedroom, Uzuki Yugao knelt in front of the table with her head down, looking flustered and helpless, enjoying her food in an atmosphere that was agonizing for her.

At the dinner table, Uchiha Yoru calmly finished his last bite of rice, wiped non-existent food stains from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and couldn't help but nod in praise, "Your cooking is very good, but I don't usually like rice balls and sushi."

Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yugao hurriedly placed the bowl she hadn't eaten from on the table and quickly bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry, sir. I will do my best to do whatever you like to do in the future."

Something seemed off about those words. What about later? As she thought of this, a sense of resentment rose within Uzuki Yugao that she herself was unaware of. He had joined the Dark Division, so how did he end up doing spy work?

Spies! Although she was a civilian, she knew that spies were beings secretly cultivated by the village, independent of the Six Paths Department. It was not a department, but it possessed great power, enabling the six major departments of Konoha to cooperate with them when necessary, yet it was a secret unit without any military force of its own.

The Anbu, whose full name is "Assassination Tactical Special Forces," is essentially an elite ninja force, also known as a special operations force. Half of their missions involve interception, assassination, pursuit, ambush, and protecting the safety of important personnel.

Uchiha Yoru, who was very sensitive to emotions, raised an eyebrow. He seemed to sense Uzuki Yugao's panic and a hint of resentment. Immediately, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and a smile appeared on his face. Perhaps he had found a way to deal with her.

Inherited from the cultural traditions of his ancestors, spies? Perhaps he can find a loophole to carry out a counter-espionage plan!

"Yugao, this is red wine from the Uchiha clan. It has beautifying effects for girls and even more so for ninjas, as it promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis."

Taking a bottle of red wine from the bedroom counter, Uchiha Yoru casually chuckled and grabbed two wine glasses at the same time. This house was a gift from his family, and it was almost fully equipped, with a considerable supply of various wines and fine teas. After all, coming from a wealthy family, you might not drink, but you can't be without them.

Perhaps to bolster her courage, or perhaps because she had no other choice, Uzuki Yugao took the wine bottle and took a big gulp in one go.

It was her first time trying red wine, and she immediately coughed, her face turning bright red. But Uchiha Yoru could clearly see the paleness of her hand holding the wine glass.

Either the other party is a seasoned spy who has achieved such a level of realism, or the other party is genuine!

Aside from the fact that my identity is fake, all the panic and fear I feel today are real.

However, considering the other party's age and the intelligence gathered by the secret investigation by Zhishui, even if the other party has time to receive training, it is likely that they will only have time after graduation.

Not everyone has the talent of Kabuto Yakushi and Nono U, so Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded. Even if it's a spy like this, he will find his weakness.

No one in the world is perfect. Orochimaru was obsessed with the research of immortality, and the Third Hokage was loyal to the stability of Konoha. These are weaknesses. He also had weaknesses, such as the intoxication of power. He came to this world to become a strongman, to wield power, and even had the hope of immortality. Why didn't he do it?

Women are strange creatures. After downing a mouthful of wine, Uzuki Yugao's eyes turned slightly red. She knew she couldn't resist. The mission was personally assigned by the head of the Anbu, and it had consumed so many resources. She could only grit her teeth and continue. Moreover, the person in front of her was an elite member of the Uchiha clan. If she were exposed, she would probably suffer a fate worse than death.

"Lord Ye, can you help me resolve my current predicament?"

After finishing her drink, Uzuki Yugao decided to go all out, especially under the influence of alcohol. Her eyes were red as she stared intently at the other person.

These words seemed somewhat like an attempt to cover up the truth, but Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded slightly, "Yugao, you are very beautiful, have a clean background, and are talented. One million a year, I can pay off your debts first, and I will give you your freedom in three years, if you don't mind."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru shrugged and gave a slight smile, making his meaning clear: if you don't mind, you can openly become an Uchiha.

Although men dislike discussing transactions in such situations, they would be foolish to disagree with an injured woman, especially one who was pushed from behind, and who is also so beautiful and a genius.

In the original work, when Uzuki Yugao first appeared, she was a special Jonin. As a commoner, she had reached this level, so her talent was almost self-evident.

With three million as an investment, he had the opportunity to acquire a future exceptional ninja. Only a fool wouldn't invest in such a deal. Although investments are risky, he already knew the other party's future achievements, so he naturally didn't mind.

"Captain Night, you have to keep your word." Under the influence of alcohol, Uzuki Yugao revealed a determined look and took off her ninja outfit, revealing the tight-fitting clothes underneath.

Under the moonlight, in the dim light of the bedroom, two figures embraced each other like lovers.

……

The next morning, in the bedroom, Uzuki Yugao was curled up like an injured kitten. Uchiha Yoru got up and looked at Yugao, whose eyelashes were trembling, without saying a word. After all, it was her first time, and such an experience might be hard for her to accept right away.

Holding her fair, white hand, Uchiha Yoru squinted and nodded slightly. The calluses on her hand were from frequent sword training. Although chakra can improve physical condition and even prevent calluses from forming during regular ninja training, this still requires a long period of chakra cultivation to achieve.

This ninja world is not only characterized by precocious thinking, but also by this aspect. As seen in the original work, the protagonist Naruto gets married at the age of 17, which shows that he can get married normally.

The young girl, Uzuki Yugao, exudes a youthful and innocent charm. Because she comes from a commoner background and doesn't have many resources, she focuses almost all her training on physical skills, which makes her skin more elastic.

Her hands emanated chakra, representing medical ninjutsu, and she gently stroked the trembling skin. Under the execution of the medical ninjutsu, even though Uzuki Yugao had her eyes closed and was pretending to be asleep, she could still feel it.

……

As the morning sunlight streamed into the room, Uzuki Yugao got up, looking flustered at the plum blossoms on the white sheets. She was now alone in the room.

Uchiha Yoru's handsome appearance, even within the Uchiha clan known for its beautiful men and women, was considered outstanding. Her gentleness the previous night also brought a sense of comfort to Uzuki Yugao.

In all honesty, she was the one who was better off by marrying above her station. Her status, strength, background, and appearance were all far beyond what he could compare to.

Somewhat flustered, she got up and naturally saw the letter left for him on the table. The letter clearly read, "I've gone to work. Breakfast is ready. I've already asked for leave for you today; it's a day off."

Finally, there was a reassuring expression on her face. At that moment, a warm feeling seemed to rise in Uzuki Yugao's heart, and her eyes felt a little sore and hot.

The secret service she was loyal to only gave her cold tasks, and even sent her to the same village to be a spy, and clearly instructed and arranged everything so that she could infiltrate the enemy's side.

As for the person she had been plotting against, she found him to be a very nice person, especially tolerant of ninjas, even last night!

"Thank you, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

Looking at the simple hot porridge on the table, Uzuki Yugao smiled, even though it had cooled down.

However, it was fleeting. She knew she could be moved, but she still kept her mission in mind, infiltrating Uchiha Yoru's side to gather intelligence, and even gradually adopting the Uchiha surname to investigate the internal affairs of the Uchiha clan.
