After giving Shenyue Xingyun a few more instructions, she suddenly felt a little tired.

My eyelids felt heavy and I started to doze off.

Seeing this, Shingetsu Seiun assumed that Uchiha Mikoto was tired—or that she was using this as an excuse to leave.

With a sigh, he stood up.

"Ms. Mikoto, it's getting late, I should head back now."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded: "Okay."

"It's getting late, and I'm tired too. You should go back and get some rest... Ha~" Uchiha Mikoto yawned again.

Uchiha Mikoto also stood up, intending to go back to rest after seeing Shinzuki Seiun off, when suddenly her body swayed.

"Mikoto-sensei!" Shingetsu Seiun exclaimed in surprise and immediately stepped forward to support Uchiha Mikoto.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Mikoto Uchiha shook her head. "I just feel very tired."

"I can't open my eyes very well."

As Mikoto Uchiha spoke, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and her body lost its strength, causing her to lean limply towards Shingetsu Seiun.

Shen Yue Xingyun hurriedly supported the other party, and was momentarily stunned.

The first thought that came to mind was that the divination tortoise shell was right after all!

Mikoto Uchiha is giving him a chance!

After all, even if Mikoto Uchiha is physically weak and in poor condition, she is still a Jonin.

How could a ninja of this caliber not be able to stay awake for even a short while when sleepiness comes on?

So, it's all an act!

It's definitely an act!

Supporting Uchiha Mikoto, and feeling the faint scent of her breath, Shingetsu Seiun sighed inwardly.

'Mikoto-sensei, oh Mikoto-sensei.'

'What's there to be embarrassed about?'

'Saying it outright won't cause any harm.'

Thinking to himself, Shenyue Xingyun would certainly not refuse the other party's kindness.

He helped the other person into the house and gently put them down.

He then decided to cooperate with the other party to do some preparatory work.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Mikoto Uchiha's reaction was wrong.

He helped the other person rest and took off their shoes, but the other person's reaction was inappropriate.

It didn't seem like exhaustion was giving him a chance; it was more like he was fast asleep, without a shred of energy.

Just as he was stunned and confused, Uchiha Mikoto moved slightly.

Shingetsu Seiun looked into the other person's eyes and found that Uchiha Mikoto was struggling to lift her head.

The eyelids, which were originally closed, kept drooping, as if trying to open them.

"No...no..."

Shingetsu Nebula: "?...You mean...it's not possible?"

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I'll just not do the task.

Mikoto Uchiha used all her strength.

"Oh no! Sasuke... Sasuke..."

Shenyue Xingyun's gaze suddenly sharpened!

He finally understood that Mikoto Uchiha wasn't talking about him.

They're talking about Sasuke!

In an instant, Shenyue Xingyun understood!

Mikoto Uchiha wasn't tired! Nor was she faking it.

The other person's condition resembled that of someone who had been poisoned!

But he didn't understand. He hadn't seen the other person eat anything while they were together, so when did they get poisoned?

Why am I alright?

Just as he was wondering, Shenyue Xingyun suddenly looked into the distance and opened his senses. He heard voices.

Someone's coming!

"Is it okay now? Or should we wait a little longer?"

"It's not too late to act when it gets darker," a shrill voice said.

Then came another sound.

"Don't worry."

"I know my methods best."

"Let's act now! The sooner we start, the more time we'll have to get back."

A shrill voice: "Then let's do it! I trust you."

Amidst the rustling sounds, three dark figures stealthily moved through the night. They were clearly familiar with the terrain, following their pre-arranged route, and soon arrived at a location not far from Uchiha Sasuke's room.

"Remember! Once we find the target, return to the village directly according to the planned route!"

"Don't linger, and don't get entangled with anyone!"

"If anyone tries to stop us... take them down!" the leader instructed the two behind him, still worried.

"Don't worry!" The tall, thin man with a high-pitched voice patted his chest. "I may not be good at anything else, but when it comes to running away, I'm the best!"

Finally, the man spoke up: "Killing is my forte."

Seeing that the two had expressed their opinions, the leader nodded.

"it is good."

"The little guy inside is the son of Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, and is definitely a direct descendant of the Uchiha clan."

"Bring him back; the reward for this mission is equivalent to an S-rank mission!"

"Cheer up!"

The eyes of all three began to light up.

S-rank mission.

In any major ninja village, S-rank missions are extremely valuable, and only powerful Jonin are qualified to complete them.

In Kumogakure, the rewards for ninja missions are generous. As long as the three of them pull off this job, they will surely receive a substantial reward.

Now, that reward seems to be just a wall away from them.

All three of them were extremely nervous.

The leader raised one hand, and the others immediately held their breath. When the leader lowered his hand, the three of them darted out!

Hurry! Get close to the door! Listen! Sense!

The series of movements were incredibly smooth.

Three seconds later, the leader spoke up.

"Yes."

"Two breathing sounds, one from next door, probably that woman from the Uchiha clan."

"There's one inside, it's that little Uchiha."

He took a deep breath, and just as he was about to break down the door, a low, suppressed voice suddenly sounded beside him.

What are you looking for?

Chapter 422 Using Poison to Kill

What are you looking for?

"Wow!!~"

The sudden sound, like a thunderclap in the still night, terrified the three men. The tall, thin man turned deathly pale and let out a scream.

That's absolutely terrifying!

In the dead of night, they thought they were all alone, but a living person was standing right next to them, and they didn't even notice.

The three of them felt their hearts sink.

The leader was the most decisive. Knowing that their whereabouts had been discovered, he acted without hesitation.

"Whoosh!~" Lightning crackled from both hands, wrapping around the kunai, and the leader of the Cloud Village launched the first attack, thrusting fiercely towards the neck of the one who had spoken!

The neck is one of the ninja's most vulnerable points. In addition, once the neck is slashed, the opponent loses the ability to shout for help.

He thought things through well and responded relatively quickly.

It's just that the target audience is wrong.

He lunged forward and saw a face.

Even under the cover of night, his face remained bright and handsome.

Upon seeing that face, the leader of the Cloud Hidden Sect had a sudden thought.

He felt like he'd seen this face somewhere before.

The next second, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead!
