"Mm. Send word to the family at once—no! Deliver the message personally to Elder Raimon. We must find that merchant caravan traveling with a snow ferret. The moment you locate them, notify me immediately!" Uchiha Tenshu ordered Uchiha Sakurako with a grave expression. Midway through, as if he had suddenly recalled something important, he decisively changed the recipient from the family to Elder Raimon.
Although Uchiha Sakurako was still confused, she swiftly pulled out paper and pen to write it down. Then she summoned a cat with two short swords strapped to its back—a Ninja Cat capable of combat, her summoned beast.
"Meow Meow! Master, what are your orders?" Meow Meow stared solemnly with its amber eyes, seeming eager to throw itself into a grand battle.
"Meow Meow! Please deliver this to Elder Raimon!" Uchiha Sakurako said awkwardly, shaking her head helplessly.
"Meow Meow! Fine, another errand. I hope that the next time you summon me, Master, there'll be a glorious battle waiting!" Meow Meow sighed with a speechless expression. It was hard to imagine a cat could display such a rich range of emotions.
Even Uchiha Tenshu, standing nearby, could not help but laugh.
The next moment.
Meow Meow picked up the envelope and vanished with a bang.
"Now we can slowly wait for news. With the family's intelligence network, they should be able to find them quickly, right? We've already provided so much information. A wandering merchant caravan traveling with a snow ferret clearly has the style of foreigners. That should narrow the search to a certain area."

The wandering merchant caravan traveling with a snow ferret that Uchiha Tenshu was searching for was none other than the one connected to the Gelel Stone vein from the Phantom Ruins in the Depths of the Earth incident
