The Intelligence Department of Konoha Ninja Village had planted agents in the Capital. Although Katsuya Uchiha had complete control over the city, there was nothing particularly remarkable about his counterespionage methods. He could not prevent information from leaking.
Even if Katsuya Uchiha knew, however, he probably would not care. Whether information leaked was irrelevant; what mattered was whether he could stir up unrest.
To that end, Katsuya Uchiha's methods were exceedingly direct, with no regard for the consequences—he had no need to worry about them anyway. The Daimyo would bear all the responsibility, while he himself had no attachments. If he could obtain Asura's power, he could withdraw after achieving his goal, cultivate the Rinnegan, and then return to trouble Konoha Ninja Village.
The armed lords near the Capital were all more or less reluctant to move against Konoha Ninja Village, but they could hardly refuse orders from the Daimyo Mansion. The Daimyo Mansion clearly had little patience in this regard. Any lord who hesitated too long was killed on the spot by the Chakra Samurai, who then took control of his forces.
These actions thoroughly intimidated the nearby armed lords, leaving them no choice but to hand all their troops over to the Chakra Samurai. Though they wore smiles in public, they deeply resented the Daimyo Mansion.
