"Hm?"
"A ninja from Kirigakure's Hozuki Clan actually needs the help of a down-and-out samurai?"
"Is there something wrong with this guy's head?"
At this moment, it was not that Uchiha Yue looked down on the samurai of the Shinobi World. The Hozuki Clan ninja's request was simply too amusing.
Ever since ninja had replaced samurai as the mainstream force of the entire world, most ninja had looked down on samurai from the bottom of their hearts. Take Konoha, where Uchiha Yue was from—its Hatake Clan, descendants of samurai, had spent a bleak period under all kinds of prejudice.

Afterward, through repeated investigations using his Purple Eye and his own sensory abilities, Uchiha Yue finally
