After sneaking all the way back to the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku switched places with the Shadow Clone he had left behind.
"Fugaku, what happened?"
Wearing pajamas that exposed a large expanse of fair skin across her chest, Uchiha Mikoto emerged from the bedroom and rubbed her eyes lazily.
"I'm not sure yet. I've already sent someone to investigate. We should have news soon."
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head.
Because he had been investigating the break-in at the secret chamber, he had been "busy" all this time and had yet to sleep.
That was precisely why Uchiha Mikoto did not know he had left earlier.
"Clan Head."
A clansman's voice sounded from outside. It was the clansman Uchiha Fugaku had sent to gather information.
Uchiha Fugaku stepped outside and asked the clansman who had returned with news.
"What happened?"
"The Hokage Building was infiltrated earlier, and the Scroll of Seals was stolen. However, the thief was not caught."
The clansman reported.
"The Hokage Building was infiltrated as well? It seems this was the work of the person who infiltrated the Uchiha Clan during the day."
Uchiha Fugaku feigned surprise.
"Send a squad of clansmen to join the search."
"Yes."
The clansman acknowledged the order and left, while Uchiha Fugaku returned inside.
"They infiltrated the Uchiha Clan during the day, then broke into the Hokage Building at night. That person has some nerve."
Shock filled Uchiha Mikoto's face.
Uchiha Fugaku had not lowered his voice while speaking with the clansman, so she had heard everything.
"They certainly do."
Uchiha Fugaku said.
The next day, news of the Hokage Building theft spread throughout Konoha.
The shock caused this time far exceeded that of the Uchiha Clan burglary. After all, the Hokage Building was heavily guarded.
