I Am Sesshomaru!
Konoha Camp
"Uchiha Yoru, this is your identity."
Shin'nosuke Sarutobi handed over a hidden scroll. Uchiha Yoru looked at his identity with a serious expression, then nodded with a smile after a moment of surprise.
"Special Jonin from Konoha in the Land of Fire, a descendant of a fallen Samurai noble family, skilled in swordsmanship and Medical Ninjutsu. Last year, he participated in Orochimaru's Human Experimentation incident in Konoha, and later, due to his involvement, directly killed two Anbu members who came to capture him and defected."
As Uchiha Yoru recounted his identity, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi silently nodded slightly. "That's right. Everyone outside is speculating about Orochimaru's Human Experimentation. Your appearance will attract attention. Small ninja villages don't have enough intelligence capabilities; only large ninja villages are qualified to investigate your situation. This way, you can establish yourself as quickly as possible."
Looking at his intelligence report, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. "Not bad at all. The arrangements are reasonable, especially the Human Experimentation last year. Tsk tsk, as expected of the Anbu, almost flawless."
After all, he was involved in Orochimaru's Human Experimentation, so it can be said that his involvement was seamless.
"But what is the ultimate goal of the mission? I think we should know by now, right?"
He didn't believe that such an important mission could be merely for intelligence gathering and some interests in the Land of Whirlpools, after all, the Land of Fire possessed the most fertile land.
As expected, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi fell silent for a moment, then slowly said in a deep voice, "There's news about a Divine Weapon belonging to our Konoha Village."
"Divine Weapon?" Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but show a look of curiosity. There are indeed Divine Weapon in the Hokage world, but they are definitely not many, such as the Kusanagi Sword, the Totsuka Sword, and the Uchiha Gunbai. But what exactly is it that makes the village attach so much importance to it?
"It's Divine Weapon once used by the First Hokage. After the Second Hokage was ambushed in the Land of Land of Lightning, he disappeared. Recently, for some reason, some news about it has appeared in the Land of Whirlpools. So, your target is this Divine Weapon. Here is the information about it."
As Shin'nosuke Sarutobi handed over a blueprint, Uchiha Yoru's eyes twitched upon seeing it. He seemed to recall that the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, had used a Great Sword during his battle with Madara Uchiha.
"I won't go into the details of what this Divine Weapon represents, but the village doesn't want it to fall into the hands of another village, so this is your real goal."
With a solemn expression, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi realized that this was a great achievement for him, as finding the First Hokage's Divine Weapon would definitely boost his prestige.
Uchiha Yoru pondered this deeply. Sure enough, there were quite a few spies in the villages of Land of Whirlpools. Why send him out again? So that's why.
"It means that after I revealed my identity Konoha Rogue Ninja, some ninjas from major countries wanted to investigate and even master Konoha's secret Human experimentation. So these people would secretly contact me. Even my identity Samurai nobleman and the First Hokage's Great Sword would be attractive to me, or it could be used as a bargaining chip."
Uchiha Yoru nodded secretly. He had to admit that this identity was extremely perfect. The fact that Orochimaru was conducting Human experimentation was very attractive, enough to lure some people to investigate or even make transactions. After all, no village would not be tempted by Konoha's Human experimentation.
Given his status as Samurai nobleman, it's understandable that he would be curious about the Great Sword once belonging to the god of the Shinobi World.
Therefore, he didn't need to investigate the First Hokage's Great Sword in secret; he could just reveal it without arousing suspicion. As expected of Konoha Anbu, his identity was arranged perfectly and reasonably.
"Since you are a descendant of Samurai nobles, even though you have declined, you should still have what you deserve. I think Shinnosuke should understand this principle."
Under Uchiha Yoru's meaningful gaze, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi was momentarily stunned. But when Uchiha Yoru slowly rattled off a list of items needed to disguise his identity, Shinnosuke's face turned green.
"A fallen Samurai noble, then my Kusanagi Sword is temporarily unusable. Therefore, I need at least one Precious grade Katana, or even several, since I am playing the role of a descendant of Divine Weapon with an extremely strong desire for Samurai."
"Furthermore, given my noble birth, my manners and speech need no further explanation, but I must also have matching, luxurious yet sturdy clothing, and precious Samurai armor containing Chakra Metal is also a must, otherwise it will not be in keeping with my status. The armor must at least be of the Fine grade, otherwise my status will be completely untenable."
"And then there's money. As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. A fallen noble is still a noble, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Money must be plentiful. In short, everything about my food, clothing, and daily necessities must be in accordance with my established persona. I think all of this is inevitable for a Samurai who is determined to revitalize his family."
Good grief, as Uchiha Yoru made one condition after another, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi initially nodded in satisfaction, but then his expression gradually stiffened, and in the end, his eyes widened and his mouth twitched. Good grief, are you sure you're not here to fleece me? Although he was thinking this to himself, he still tried his best to meet the other party's conditions.
"The Anbu you mentioned are all prepared, although there are some shortcomings, but it's alright. I have two Treasure sword in my own collection, and as for the armor, I'll have the Anbu send it over via Summoning Jutsu right now. However, you'll need to change your appearance."
After Shin'nosuke Sarutobi nodded in agreement, Uchiha Yoru also nodded solemnly. As the saying goes, "He who takes money must do the work," and he still had this professional ethics, or rather, it was the basic professional ethics of all ninjas.
"Don't worry, but the Transformation Jutsu is easily exposed when Chakra is unstable, and this is also a Spy mission. My Medical Ninjutsu can handle all of that."
With impeccable professionalism, Uchiha Yoru nodded solemnly. Then, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi sighed helplessly and quickly contacted his undercover agents to prepare the necessary documents for the other party's identity. He knew that some identities required prior investment for infiltration missions, such as those of Spy who were merchants or nobles, but damn it, this guy's requirements were too expensive.
Watching Shin'nosuke Sarutobi leave, Uchiha Yoru sneered inwardly. As the saying goes, even an emperor doesn't starve his soldiers. Who told you to give me a noble status? If I don't take advantage of this opportunity, I'll be ashamed of my status. Besides, such a dangerous mission deserves some funding.
"What kind of personality would a descendant of a fallen noble Samurai have? A cold and arrogant personality, seemingly looking down on everything, yet harboring an obsession with becoming the strongest Samurai, desiring to become a powerful Samurai to revive the family—in other words, a personality that pursues power!"
Looking at himself in the mirror, Uchiha Yoru frowned and began to ponder. The noble young master's temperament of pursuing power, and the character setting dominated by Samurai, then the character setting should be cold and ruthless. After all, he participated in Human Experimentation for power. A character image gradually emerged in his mind, which seemed to fit perfectly.
"The most direct and simple way to change a person's appearance is to start with their hairstyle and demeanor."
Once the image and the person to imitate appeared in his mind, Uchiha Yoru immediately began to stimulate the hair follicle cells of his scalp with Medical Ninjutsu. First, the melanin was suppressed, and his full head of black hair began to turn white visibly. Then, under the nourishment of Chakra, the pale hair color began to shine and turned into silver-white hair. Then, with the continued support of Chakra, it began to grow visibly.
"These are all what you need. See if they fit."
As soon as Shin'nosuke Sarutobi entered, he was stunned. Inside the closed tent, the Uchiha's appearance had undergone a complete transformation, or rather, a change in hairstyle and demeanor, making it impossible to reconcile the two people.
With long, silver-white hair, a noble blue Moon mark on her forehead, two Red demon pattern on each cheek, and hexagonal plum blossoms fluttering on her white kimono, her bright black eyes and cold, expressionless demeanor perfectly embody her aristocratic air.
After all, the arrogance of the Uchiha Clan is ingrained in their bones, and it's easy for them to become cold-faced.
In a short moment, Uchiha Yoru transformed into an aloof and arrogant young nobleman, exuding an air of nobility, with a blank expression and taciturn demeanor.
"Yoru, your outfit is quite something." Seeing this, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi but give a thumbs up, but a hint of jealousy also lingered in his heart. Damn, using the village's money to pretend to be a noble young master, there's no one else like it.
However, the makeup on his face seemed familiar, and Shin'nosuke Sarutobi instantly realized that the Inuzuka Clan liked to use color on their faces, while the Uchiha Clan was mostly known for their aloofness; it was a combination of the two.
Seeing the drastically changed image in the mirror, Uchiha Yoru calmly said in a cold voice, "My name now is 'Sesshomaru'."
With this foundation, and being a disguised Spy, his image naturally needed to change drastically. So he simply changed his appearance. After all, Spy missions are still very dangerous. Fortunately, this time he wasn't infiltrating one of the Five Great Nations, otherwise he was really afraid of being stabbed in the back.
Besides, since the intention is to pretend to be a descendant of nobility, why not take the money?
"Sesshomaru?" Upon hearing the name, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi immediately, then said in a deep voice, "Alright, your Anbu won't leak information casually. I think you understand."
Uchiha Yoru was naturally aware of this. As one of the participants in the Human Experimentation, why would the village announce it all over the world? Even a fool would know something was amiss. On the contrary, the fact that only Konoha Anbu were secretly pursuing him was more in line with his character—he didn't want to leak information.
However, with the appearance of Uchiha Yoru, someone will definitely dig deeper, and then the Spy in the village will be exposed. It has to be said that this kills two birds with one stone and can also thoroughly investigate the Spy in the village.
The word "Wu" means strong and brave, and the word "Wan" means momentum, which sounds very intimidating.
After some careful selection, with a haughty expression, Uchiha Yoru finally chose an outfit that satisfied him, and put on an exquisite suit of armor, representing his identity as Samurai.
Then, a White Fluffy Cape, representing aristocratic bearing, was worn over a White Sakura Pattern Clothes. This, combined with Uchiha Yoru's current cold and ruthless expression, perfectly exemplified what it meant to be a descendant of nobility.
"You really are something."
Looking at Uchiha Yoru's attire, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi was both satisfied and pained. This was truly a case of being fleeced, since he was going to carry out an infiltration mission, and his identity and appearance needed to be perfect.
Needless to say, their identity naturally involves the Anbu, and they possess the necessary qualifications. Since they are to play the role of nobles, they must have the demeanor of nobles. The Uchiha Clan is not lacking in this regard, especially since the etiquette passed down for hundreds of years by Noble Houses families has been ingrained in their bones from a young age. This is something that ordinary ninjas need to practice for a long time to achieve.
Uchiha Yoru doesn't need to worry about that at all; it's just that this armor is really cheap.
The armor was the finest equipment among Samurai, containing Chakra Metal, not to mention the cloak, and then there was the whole set of clothes.
"I am now Rogue Ninja, Samurai noble and Sesshomaru Konoha."
Uchiha Yoru —no, it should be Sesshomaru now—was staring at the other person with a cold and indifferent Sesshomaru, completely different from the Uchiha Yoru of the past.
From head to toe, it was impossible to tell anything about him. His noble, cold, and ruthless demeanor, and his silver hair made him completely unrecognizable to Shin'nosuke Sarutobi if he didn't know all this. It even made him sigh, "Yoru, no! It should be Sesshomaru. As expected, you are a born ninja."
After saying that, Shin'nosuke Sarutobi took out a scroll, made a hand seal, and Hand Seals the scroll down. Instantly, the smoke from the Summoning Jutsu dissipated, and a series of gleaming Katana appeared before him.
There are only eleven of them, but each one is an absolute treasure, forged from the finest materials of the time, comparable to Divine Weapons.
"Um, these are all treasures from the Anbu."
Shin'nosuke Sarutobi looked pained at the sight of the weapons made of Chakra Metal, fearing that the other party would try to take advantage of him again. However, when he saw that the other party had chosen two and then given up on taking any more, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
One is a traditional, Slender Katana, its blade light and emitting a faint silver light, maximizing the power of Quick Draw Slash.
The other weapon, which should be called a sword, exuded a strong aura of Murderous Aura, clearly a weapon that had slaughtered countless people. It was similar to Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword.
The ninja world shares a tradition similar to that of island nations, where swords and sabers are not distinguished. For example, the Konoha-Style Swordsmanship uses Katana.
"I need at least tens of millions of taels of silver."
Sesshomaru's cold and indifferent words immediately made Shin'nosuke Sarutobi want to curse. He had never seen someone so arrogant when asking for money. He felt really aggrieved and secretly vowed that he would never make the characters in future Spy missions noble, at most minor nobles, otherwise the initial investment would be too great.
"The total funding for the mission is only eight million, but I have over ten million here. Let me add some for you!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Sesshomaru calmly took all the money from the other person's hand and stuffed it into his pocket without hesitation, leaving the other person looking astonished.
"Tomorrow I will secretly land on the West Coast. My identity must be kept secret by the Anbu. At the same time, the village should keep a close watch on Spy. We must not let this good opportunity slip by."
At this moment, it was as if he were the commander. Shin'nosuke Sarutobi nodded reluctantly, but he was also determined. This time, he had suffered such a heavy loss, and if he didn't take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the Spy, it would be a waste of his efforts.
The objective of this mission was too important to him; the First Hokage's Great Sword held greater significance than anything else.
I took my child to the parent-child sports day today, and I'm so tired that I didn't have time to check everything. I'll check it again tomorrow when I get up.
