Spy

On the streets of Konoha.

Uchiha Dan walked side by side with Samui, weaving through the bustling crowd.

Dan had a handsome face, stood nearly two meters tall, and possessed a towering physique; as he walked, he naturally exuded a powerful, masculine aura.

He was like a Mountain Tiger, the king of beasts.

Beside him, Samui appeared petite and delicate by comparison.

With her blonde hair and blue eyes, fair skin, and a stunning figure, she was an ice-cold beauty full of exotic charm.

This "Beauty and the Beast" pairing drew eyes wherever they went.

Samui's gaze swept across the streets and the crowd, seemingly casual, but in reality, she was trying to gather intelligence every single second.

Three years ago.

A Cloud Hidden delegation visited Konoha, attempting to secretly kidnap the young Hinata Hyuga to study the secrets of the Byakugan, only to be killed on the spot by Hyuga Hiashi.

Afterward.

Cloud Hidden, despite being in the wrong, used an extremely aggressive stance to accuse Konoha of murdering their envoys, even threatening to launch a Total war.

No one expected that Konoha would quickly cave in.

Under the instructions of the Third Hokage, the Hyuga Clan even handed over the body of the Clan Head's brother-in-law, Hizashi Hyuga, in exchange for the forgiveness of Cloud Hidden Village.

When the news reached them, the morale of Cloud Hidden soared.

Ever since then.

Cloud Hidden Village's actions became even bolder.

Not long after, the Fourth Raikage personally issued an order, sending a group of spies to Infiltrate Konoha to gather intelligence and prepare for a future Total war.

Samui, who was a Special Jonin at the time, was a key member of that group.

There was a reason why she was chosen by the Fourth Raikage and trusted by him.

Cloud Hidden Village was at a high altitude, mountainous, and had intense sunlight.

In such an environment, due to constant exposure to strong ultraviolet rays, Cloud Hidden ninjas—both men and women—had dark skin, making their physical appearance very conspicuous.

But Samui had fair skin; based on her appearance, no one would associate her with those dark-skinned folks from Cloud Hidden.

Coupled with the fact that she was well-read, mature, intelligent, and handled matters with calm caution, she was exceptionally capable and couldn't have been more suitable as a spy.

At that time.

After Konoha sacrificed Hizashi Hyuga to make peace with Cloud Hidden, Uchiha Dan had traveled to Cloud Hidden Village to order a large quantity of fitness Equipment.

The Cloud Hidden intelligence department took note of Dan and discovered his identity: he was the brother-in-law of the Uchiha Clan head.

As it happened.

Samui's primary mission for this Infiltration of Konoha was to collect intelligence related to the Uchiha Clan.

Thus.

She disguised herself as a civilian, followed Dan to Konoha, and proactively applied for a job, successfully becoming the receptionist at his Gym.

But only after arriving did she realize.

Dan had long been estranged from the Uchiha Clan and had almost completely cut ties with his clan members; it was difficult to get any valuable intelligence from him.

Until today.

Dan had easily defeated the genius Uchiha Itachi in a way she could not comprehend.

Samui stole a glance at Uchiha Dan.

She realized that compared to Uchiha Itachi, perhaps this man she spent every day with was the one who required her focused observation.

However.

Samui could never have imagined that Dan was perfectly clear about her identity and her intentions.

He had known all along that this woman was a spy.

In the Original Work of Naruto, although Samui appeared relatively late and had little screen time, she was a very eye-catching character who left a deep impression.

After all, she was truly "large."

Unforgettable at first sight.

However.

Samui was a spy, but what did that have to do with Uchiha Dan?

Dan was not a Konoha ninja; he had no sense of identity or belonging to this Village. Even if Konoha were destroyed, he wouldn't care.

He might even watch the show from the sidelines and applaud.

As far as he was concerned.

Samui was a woman with a low-key and steady personality who worked diligently and earnestly. She was not only a good employee but also took the initiative to help with laundry, cooking, and various household chores.

To ensure she could stay by Dan's side, she worked very actively and hard.

It must be said.

The presence of Samui provided great convenience to Dan's daily life, allowing him to focus more on his training.

Where else could he find a second perfect tool like this?

Therefore, he pretended not to know that Samui was a spy, and just like that, he freeloaded off her for three years.

By the Konohagakure River, willow trees swayed.

A stone bridge spanned the Konohagakure River, connecting the south and north sides of the village.

Dan and Samui walked onto the stone bridge; just a few hundred meters further south and a turn later, they would be back in that familiar alley.

But just then.

A commotion suddenly erupted on the street behind them, as if something had happened.

The next second, several sharp shouts rang out like a bolt from the blue.

"You people in front, stop!"

"The Police Force is apprehending a spy, everyone else get out of the way!"

"I'm talking to you, still trying to run?"

The word "spy" hitting her ears made Samui's pupils shrink and her whole body tremble.

Had she been exposed?

Stay calm, don't panic.

In this instant.

Samui forced herself to calm down, her mind racing as she wondered when exactly she had slipped up, and how she should handle the arrest and interrogation by the Police Force.

She feigned a look of surprise and turned her head toward the sound.

Then.

She saw that among the crowd approaching them, several seemingly unremarkable passersby suddenly erupted into action, rushing onto the bridge at high speed.

Behind them, a squad of Uchiha Ninja wearing Police Force uniforms locked their eyes on the group and gave relentless chase.

So.

The spies the Police Force was after were not her.

Realizing it was a false alarm, Samui let out a sigh of relief, though she had broken out in a cold sweat.

But the matter was not over yet.

Spies from enemy villages were undoubtedly quite dangerous.

However, the Uchiha Clan was no better; at least within Konohagakure, they were the type of people others would go out of their way to avoid.

At this moment.

The spies and the Uchiha arrived one after another, immediately throwing the pedestrians on the bridge into a panic, with some even jumping into the river to escape.

Uchiha Dan also turned around.

He glanced at the guilty-looking Samui, then looked ahead at the two parties racing toward them.

On the bridge, everyone was fleeing, except for Dan and Samui, who stood still.

Dan, in particular, stood with a stature like an impenetrable wall, blocking the very center of the stone bridge.

Whoosh.

The leader of these spies was a Baldy; he moved like a gust of wind, charging to the front and arriving right before Dan.

Is this guy a ninja of Konohagakure too?

The Baldy shot a sharp gaze at Dan. Although the man blocking his path wasn't wearing a Konohagakure ninja uniform, his physique clearly showed he was no ordinary person.

He immediately felt a surge of killing intent and roared:

"Get lost!"

Before the words had even faded, he pulled a Kunai from his sleeve and thrust it toward Dan's chest.

As the two were about to clash head-on.

"Poof!"

The Baldy's other hand suddenly threw something to the ground, and a Smoke Bomb exploded, instantly producing a large amount of white smoke that obscured Dan's vision.

Taking this opportunity.

The Baldy decisively changed his target, striking at Samui, who was standing beside Dan.

Compared to the burly, unknown strength of Dan, the blonde, busty Samui looked like a useless vase with no combat ability, making her the perfect choice for a hostage.

Oh no.

Samui's expression changed.

Facing the Baldy who lunged at her like a rabid dog, she instinctively wanted to fight back in self-defense.

But if she did that... her identity as a ninja would most likely be exposed, and if she were to get entangled with the Police Force, her chances of survival would be slim.

In the blink of an eye.

Samui gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the urge to fight back, and stood there frozen, appearing as if she were unable to move due to extreme fright.

She would rather risk being injured than expose her identity here.

Success.

Seeing this, the Baldy Spy curled his lips into a grin and lunged forward, pressing his sharp Kunai against Samui's neck.

But.

Almost at the same time.

Swish.

An arm, thicker than an adult man's thigh and as hard as steel, shot out from the smoke like a python emerging from its den, its large hand spreading open like the Five Finger Mountain to envelop him.

It gripped the head of the Baldy Spy.

"?!"

The Baldy Spy was shocked to his Inner Heart, not expecting Dan to be so troublesome, and immediately swung his Kunai back with all his might, intending to sever that arm.

Clang.

The Kunai collided with Dan's arm, actually emitting the sound of clashing metal and even sparking.

How is this possible?!

Seeing this, the Baldy Spy's eyes widened.

The next second.

Bang.

As the veins on the arm bulged, a massive force traveled through the muscles to the five fingers, and the head of the Baldy Spy, trapped beneath them...

Exploded on the spot.
