Why did Uchiha Kaoru accept this mission? Was it because of Hyuga?
The Uchiha and Hyuga are both prestigious clans in Konoha. While the Uchiha are nominally the most powerful clan, this is largely due to their superior one-on-one combat abilities honed by the Sharingan. In one-on-one fights, the Uchiha Clan holds a slight advantage over the Hyuga Clan.
However, in medium-sized battles, the Hyuga Clan, with their Byakugan, can always easily obtain a crucial military merit. After all, the Hyuga Clan with their Byakugan are absolutely excellent scouts, while the Uchiha Clan obviously does not possess this quality and is clearly inferior in this matter.
This is also why Sato Hideaka chose Hyuga Ningbo instead of someone from the Uchiha Clan!
However, if Uchiha Kaoru wanted to earn military merit for the Uchiha Clan...
Let her go then...
Seeing that Sato Hideaka had agreed, Tsunade Senju quickly leaned down and whispered in his ear, "That girl from the Uchiha Clan hasn't received any professional infiltration training. Last time, I easily found her in your room's bathroom. Do you think I didn't know? Don't let her go... she'll be a burden to you."
Upon hearing Tsunade Senju's words, Sato Hideaka's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected Tsunade to discover Uchiha Kaoru's presence. It was all thanks to that girl's desperate attempts to hide. It turned out that everything was already within Tsunade's expectations... Alas, poor Uchiha Kaoru!
He gave Uchiha Kaoru a sympathetic look, leaving the latter somewhat bewildered.
Seeing the strange look in Sato Hideaka Uchiha Kaoru's deep black eyes widened slightly in surprise. Were these two, master and disciple, talking about him? For some reason, he sensed that they were talking about him, Uchiha Kaoru suddenly felt a little flustered.
This was a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty I'd never experienced before. What were they talking about?
Fortunately, Uchiha Kaoru was unaware of the conversation between the master and disciple. One of them was filled with malicious malice, while the other was indifferent. Their attitudes contrasted sharply with Uchiha Kaoru's sensitive heart; a young girl's feelings are always hard to understand...
"Teacher, I've already agreed in front of so many people, I can't just suddenly refuse now, can I? If this continues... wouldn't I be able to change my mind at will? How will I maintain any authority when managing my subordinates?"
After pondering for a moment, Sato Hideaka realized he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he whispered in his teacher Tsunade Senju's ear.
Tsunade Senju frowned slightly and said, " Hideaka, are you sure that with her infiltration skills, she won't be discovered by the enemy? Although I'm still waiting for news from Hanzo, it's clear that the chances are slim. Your side is our only chance."
"Don't worry, I'll teach them. Hyuga Ningbo's infiltration skills probably won't work either. I'll have the two of them keep watch from a distance, and after I confirm the direction, I'll go in and scout... That way, the chances of success will probably be better." Sato Hideaka nodded knowingly.
"Well, alright then," Tsunade Senju sighed.
After confirming their respective tasks, all the Konoha ninjas sprang into action. Some were responsible for placing Kunai, some for patrolling the surrounding area, and some for waiting for news. Sato Hideaka, Hyuga Ningbo, Uchiha Kaoru took the opportunity to leave the building.
Because of the presence of ninja from the Hidden Amegakure watching over the area, a special person used a combination of Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique to transform into three different people and continue operating within this Gothic building, Konoha's headquarters, to avoid alerting the lurking Hidden Amegakure ninja.
Using a tall building as cover, the three dark figures evaded the blockade of the Amegakure ninjas and headed towards the new residence of the Sunagakure. Just like the Sunagakure's surveillance, Konoha was also monitoring the Sunagakure's movements at all times.
Therefore, Konoha is very clear about where Sunagakure's residence has been moved to!
As they moved between the high-rise buildings, Sato Hideaka quietly explained the infiltration techniques he had learned in the Anbu to Uchiha Kaoru and Hyuga Ningbo. Time was short, and he could only explain it about twice; as for how much they could grasp, that was up to them...
Anyway, this mission only required Hyuga Ningbo to locate Chiyo and Ebizo, and he didn't need to infiltrate the ranks. As for Uchiha Kaoru... in Sato Hideaka's eyes, she was just a background character.
Arriving at the residence of the Sunagakure, it was also a luxurious residence, located very close to the office of Amegakure the Hanzo the Salamander. Looking up, one could see the tallest building in Amegakure... It was also guarded by Sunagakure ninjas.
"Ningbo, open your Byakugan and take a look at the exact locations of Chiyo and Ebizo."
High above the building, Sato Hideaka stood upright on the rooftop like a javelin, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. His blue eyes surveyed the mansion below, guarded by Sunagakure ninjas, and he coldly gave his orders.
"Yes, Byakugan!"
Hyuga Ningbo closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, they were completely white. The veins on his forehead and the sides of his eyes were bulging, making him look extremely frightening. The world in his eyes had turned into three colors: black, white, and blue. Black and white represented concrete objects, while blue represented Chakra.
Standing beside Sato Hideaka, Hyuga Ningbo glanced at the building below with his Byakugan and said with a somewhat grim expression, "The people inside... all have very similar Chakra levels. There don't seem to be any two people with particularly abundant Chakra."
Sato Hideaka remained silent; Hyuga Ningbo had not found Chiyo and Ebizo...
Was it that the opponent concealed their Chakra levels to deceive the Byakugan, or...?
A possibility suddenly popped into his mind, Sato Hideaka blurted out, "Let's go to Hanzo's office building... If I'm not mistaken, if Chiyo and Ebizo aren't in the area where the Sunagakure gather, then this is the only possible place."
Could it be that Sunagakure and Amegakure have already begun negotiating and signing a peace treaty...?
Hyuga Ningbo and Uchiha Kaoru exchanged a glance, both sensing that the situation was somewhat dire. Although there was a conflict between the Uchiha and Hyuga, their sense of belonging to Konoha made them both extremely anxious under these circumstances.
Sato Hideaka's figure vanished instantly, soaring across rooftops and rooftops towards the tallest building in Amegakure, Hanzo the Salamander's office. Hyuga Ningbo and Uchiha Kaoru followed in Sato Hideaka's footsteps, the three figures flying through the high-rise buildings of Amegakure.
Hyuga Ningbo activated his Byakugan again, standing a kilometer away and gazing at the tallest building in Amegakure in the distance. His expression was grave as he said, "One, two, three... indeed, there are three people whose Chakra levels far exceed those of ordinary people. They are probably Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure, Ebizo, and the Hanzo of Amegakure."
"Their location...?" Sato Hideaka's expression changed, and he asked succinctly.
"The first office on the left on the forty-ninth floor is surrounded by a large number of ninja guards, and the entire building is also blocked off by various ninjas, so it will probably be very difficult to get close... What should we do now?" Hyuga Ningbo asked with a serious and troubled expression. With such a large number of ninjas, it would be really difficult to infiltrate.
"You wait here... I'll be right there, fireworks will serve as a signal."
Sato Hideaka's figure had long since disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only this command in the air. (To be continued.)
