The morning sun shines on the earth, the early spring sunshine has begun to warm up, and the snowflakes on the ground have begun to melt, symbolizing that the breath of spring has arrived.

Under the bright sunshine, at this time of day, most ninjas are either training or on missions; the streets are mostly empty of busy ordinary people or women going out to buy groceries.

As she left the Uchiha Compound, Uzuki Yugao encountered Nakata Miko. At this moment, she seemed a little awkward, clearly flustered as it was her first time, and she kept her head down, looking somewhat lost.

"Yugao, let's go together." At this moment Nakata Miko acted as if they were old friends, chuckled, stepped forward and placed a basket in the other person's hands, and whispered comfortingly, "The Ration Pill produced in this Uchiha Compound are no less than those of the Akimichi Clan."

It was obvious that Nakata Miko had done this more than once or twice, using it as an excuse to almost silence everyone. Even so, Nakata Miko still led the head-down Uzuki Yugao outside.

"Yugao, this is from Captain Yoru."

Under her knowing gaze, Uzuki Yugao suddenly noticed a stack of banknotes in her basket, and she was immediately surprised when she saw this.

"Sister Miko, didn't you promise to help me solve the problem? How come you still have money?"

At this moment, Uzuki Yugao was clearly a naive girl, and her innocent eyes made Nakata Miko laugh out loud. "Yugao, you are such a simple girl. You can't imagine what life in Great Clans is like. The Uchiha is the number one Noble Houses in the Land of Fire."

"Captain Yoru's status within the Uchiha Clan is significant. He receives a monthly share of the clan's business income, not to mention his position-based compensation. The Uchiha are the most powerful Noble Houses, and they are generally very generous to their own people, especially their women."

Nakata Miko said her last sentence, a meaningful look was clearly revealed, and Uzuki Yugao's face immediately flushed red upon hearing it.

"Take it, you deserve it."

Nakata Miko's words left Uzuki Yugao at a loss for what to do; at that moment, the basket she was carrying suddenly felt like it was burning her hand.

"Yugao, now that you've taken this step, there's no turning back. Sometimes rumors can hurt you. Now that you've got what you're entitled to, even if you regret it later, you can still live a stable life with this money."

Seeing Nakata Miko's experienced demeanor, Uzuki Yugao still felt the money was a bit too much and couldn't help but voice her concerns.

"No, Sister Miko, we agreed on three million over three years. I'm afraid if I take the money..."

Seeing that Uzuki Yugao had voiced her concerns, Nakata Miko shook her head and said, "Don't worry, the pride of the Uchiha is ingrained in their bones. You can even doubt their strength, but you must never doubt their credibility. As long as you behave yourself and obey orders for the next three years, they won't make things difficult for you even if you want to leave later."

She spent tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go. If it were just to pay off her debts, she wouldn't see any cash at all, so it wouldn't be a big deal to her. But with those bright green banknotes right in front of her, the visual impact was too much for Uzuki Yugao, who was new to the world and hadn't experienced much of this kind of thing.

Uzuki Yugao was exhausted when she returned home, but her expression changed drastically when a figure appeared in her bedroom.

"Minister!"

The person who arrived was the Anbu Captain, the Third Hokage's Eldest Daughter-in-law, and also her direct superior, Uzuki Yugao.

"Yugao, did the plan succeed last night?"

At this moment, the Third Hokage's Eldest Daughter-in-law -law's naked gaze revealed a strong sense of self-interest, a look that was particularly sensitive to Uzuki Yugao at this moment.

After all, no woman would give her virginity to a mission, but the superior came to inquire about the mission's progress.

Suppressing the pain in her heart, Uzuki Yugao lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "Mission accomplished, but the target is very cautious. I'm afraid they only want me to be their lover now."

At this point, Uzuki Yugao lifted the basket in her hand, revealing a stack of bright green banknotes inside. Upon seeing this, the Third Hokage's Eldest Daughter-in-law showed a look of disdain.

"The Uchiha Clan is quite generous; you don't need to hand over this money, you can use it as you please."

Money is unimportant to her; all she wants now is to advance further, and she can only do so by Shin'nosuke Sarutobi becomes Hokage Position, she will be Hokage's Wife.

The Third Hokage's Daughter-in-law lowered her voice and said solemnly, "Yugao, I will remember everything you have done. From now on, you will be the Uchiha's spy. The Nine-Tails' disaster must not be repeated. With your identity and strength, Uchiha Yoru will definitely be a high-ranking member of the Uchiha Clan in the future, and may even become an elder."

"That old man Uchiha Setsuna's health is deteriorating day by day; he won't last many more years. Right now, Uchiha Yoru is the most suitable candidate to succeed him. Although intelligence is very important, don't rush things. Climb the ranks slowly and make Uchiha Yoru willing to take you as a concubine in the future."

It must be said that although the eldest daughter- Third was ambitious, she was also shrewd and resourceful, and she had already begun to plan for the future.

After becoming Hokage, she needed to help her husband become Hokage, and now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wanted to use her position to plant spies within the Uchiha Clan in advance.

"Yugao, all of this is for the village. I hope you can understand."

After explaining the mission, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Third Hokage also showed her skillful way of winning people's hearts. However, at the moment, she was too ambitious, and this was the most sensitive period for Uzuki Yugao. She seemed to have some resistance in her heart, but after hearing that it was for the sake of the village, she still nodded solemnly.

"For the village, Yugao is willing to give her life."

Seeing Uzuki Yugao's reply, she smiled with satisfaction. "Don't worry, Yugao. You're on Anbu mission. I can promise you that after the mission is completed, no one will know about your past. You can live in Konoha again and even learn the village's advanced Ninjutsu, perhaps even A-Rank Ninjutsu."

A-Rank Ninjutsu is a high-level Ninjutsu that only Jōnin can access, so the reward is definitely substantial.

Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yugao forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Minister."

At this moment, comfort might be more important to a woman than any reward, or perhaps Uzuki Yugao is simply not the kind of woman with a strong sense of self-interest.

As can be seen from the original work, after Gekko Hayate's death, Konoha formed an alliance with Sunagakure. She suffered from war syndrome, that is, psychological trauma, and gave up her Anbu identity, choosing to retire to the second line and join the logistics unit.

A woman with a strong sense of pragmatism wouldn't do this.

Inside the office of the Seventh Division of the Konoha Military Police Force, Uchiha Shisui wore an awkward smile.

"Brother Yoru, you know about Nakata Miko's situation last night; it naturally didn't escape the patrol team's eyes."

Seeing Shisui's hesitant manner, Uchiha Yoru shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll forgive you for now, but next time please let me know in advance."

How could a stranger possibly hide Chunin the Uchiha clan's territory, especially a mere Uzuki Yugao like Uchiha?

This is the Uchiha clan's territory, after all. The secret patrols and guards had been keeping an eye on it for a long time and naturally wanted to find out what was going on. Eventually, the news reached the ears of those in power. Of course, due to the secrecy of ninjas, this matter would not be discussed casually.

But I'm afraid the clan leader and elders must have known about this last night, otherwise how would Shisui know?

"Brother Yoru, the family asked me to pass on a message to you: the family can also select a suitable candidate."

Having been involved in high-level politics for the past year and witnessed countless dark secrets, he had long since become accustomed to keeping a mistress.

Therefore, Uchiha Shisui did not find it unusual; on the contrary, he believed that it would be an honor for the other party to give birth to a noble Uchiha bloodline.

"Alright, Shisui, Teacher Orochimaru's matter is more important right now." Uchiha Yoru rubbed his forehead and looked at Shisui's appearance, waving his hand and laughing helplessly.

When you come from Noble Houses and enter the center of power, enjoying certain honors and privileges, you also have to bear corresponding responsibilities.

For example, while Noble Houses like the Uchiha don't object to marrying someone from another family, some noble bloodlines, such as ninjas who have awakened the Sharingan, will receive some instruction from their clans. They might suggest marrying someone from their own clan, but this is just a suggestion, since the Uchiha's pride means they're already doing well if they get a few pointers.

However, for someone like him who has already risen to a position of power within the Uchiha Clan, if he were to marry someone from another family, it would be acceptable if the other party were a commoner, but it would be best if they Jōnin, so as not to cause gossip.

While Chakra nurtures a physique, children born to parents who both possess Chakra physiques will almost certainly be able to refine Chakra. Similarly, if the parents are high-level ninjas, the child's talent will almost certainly surpass that of ordinary ninjas.

Uchiha Yoru smiled and shook his head at these trivial matters within the clan. Logically speaking, his position as a squad leader could only be considered a position of power, but if one were to add Orochimaru's disciple status, he would practically be second only to the clan head and elders in the clan.

"Brother Yoru, this is the early dividend from the family."

Good heavens! Looking at the Shisui handed over, Uchiha Yoruro couldn't help but laugh and cry. Seriously, he just found a woman, and the clan actually took a liking to her, even distributing his dividends a week in advance.

However, he had no objection to money. He had worked diligently for the Uchiha, so it was only right that he receive some of the rewards that were rightfully his.

"Brother Yoru, I have already instructed the guards within the clan's territory to protect Miss Yugao if they see her in the future."

Shisui chuckled, making Uchiha Yoru shake his head speechlessly, saying, "Alright, if anyone dares to cause trouble on the clan's territory, just tell the clan's guards not to interfere."

As the two chuckled, Shisui secretly made hand gestures, seemingly asking if they needed to keep an eye on Uzuki Yugao, given her questionable identity.

Uchiha Yoru smiled and gently shook his head, also using a coded gesture to indicate that he didn't need it.

"Shisui, the Prison needs to send more staff recently. Keep an eye on things."

Uchiha Yoru pretended to be discussing political matters with Shisui, but secretly wrote a line of words clearly on the table with tea.

What's exposed to the public isn't scary; what's scary is what's hidden in the shadows.

The meaning is clear: spies we already know about aren't so scary, since they're right under our noses and we can monitor them secretly. But those hidden in the shadows are the most dangerous; you have no idea who they are, and you never know when they'll stab you in the back.

Shisui accepted the intelligence with a broad smile, glancing at the water stains wiped from the table and nodding with a smile, "Brother Yoru, don't worry, I'll personally keep an eye on the Prison area. Nothing will happen."

There are some shady dealings in Prison, so he naturally has to keep an eye on things. Even with the Hyuga involved, they can't let their guard down, especially since the Hokage Faction has already made its move.

Despite Shisui's seemingly harmless smile, he was seething with anger. What was the Third Hokage up to? Did he have no faith in the Uchiha?

First they planted Spy, and now they're using female Spy to get close to him. If it were before, he could understand it as a surveillance tactic, since the Uchiha couldn't clear their names Nine-Tails Night.

For a female Spy to get close in this way demonstrates complete distrust; such tactics are usually only used against high-ranking officials of enemy countries.

The village's treatment of the Uchiha as enemies filled Uchiha Shisui with anger and sorrow, and even made him think that the Konoha High Command was corrupt.

"Shisui." Seeing Shisui's coded message, Uchiha Yoru gently shook his head, indicating that it wasn't necessary for the time being.

At that moment, Shisui understood. He nodded slightly. He hadn't told Uzuki Yugao that she was a spy for the Anbu —no, she should be called Spy now. He hadn't told the clan leader and elders about this because he was afraid it would cause problems with the plan. But only his elder brother would bear the same burden.

"Shisui, I remember Itachi is preparing for his graduation exams. If you have some free time, please tutor that kid for me."

Uchiha Yoruro an apologetic smile, as if to say he was too busy, while Shisui nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Brother Yoru."

At this point, Shisui had been suppressing too much dissatisfaction with the corrupt upper echelons of Konoha. Naturally, this emotion and these thoughts were influenced by what he saw and heard when he met Uchiha Itachi.

Tsk tsk, in the original work, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui were both teacher and friend. Itachi was also influenced by Shisui, and in this life, he couldn't escape it either, still being influenced by Shisui. However, this time it's different.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru sneered inwardly. "What a Third Hokage! This is truly endless. One move after another, he doesn't give me a chance to breathe. But this time, I'm determined to make him suffer the consequences of his attempt to steal a chicken."

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who were Kage Level powerhouses who would stand on your side in the future, are now, sorry, probably no longer have that chance.

Same Uzuki Yugao?

A commoner with the aptitude of Jōnin family background! Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru sneered repeatedly. He would personally teach the Third a lesson.

Women! That's never how it's used. After all, this isn't about national or personal vendettas. After seeing the ugly face of Konoha's politics, the wounded heart needs comforting.

He always remembered the lessons learned from five thousand years of culture in his previous life. "If she is naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world, take her to see all its splendor."
