Apart from the furniture that had already been there, the entire house was completely empty!
Yūichi was inwardly speechless. Lord Ziyan, did you really have to be so frugal? Why did you take every last thing with you when you left? Does the Land of Iron not have these things? Or do we not have the money to buy them?
Yūichi looked at Sakumo, who stood smiling beside him, and gave an awkward smile.
"Can you tell me what you came for now? Trust me! I won't betray Uncle Ziyan!" Sakumo said solemnly.
Yūichi hesitated, then glanced at Kakashi in the courtyard.
Following Yūichi's gaze, Sakumo called outside, "Kakashi! Go buy some groceries! I'm treating your Uncle Yūichi to dinner tonight!"
Kakashi nodded at Sakumo's words, then turned and left!
Once Kakashi was gone, Yūichi said, "I won't hide it from you anymore. I did come to retrieve something for Lord Ziyan! But it isn't anything here at your place! It belongs to the Uchiha Clan, and I can't tell you what it is!"
Sakumo could tell from Yūichi's serious expression that he wasn't lying, so he asked, "Do you need my help? Whatever else you might say about me, I was Konoha's Anbu Captain for a few years. I know the village's layout very well!"
Yūichi shook his head. "Someone has already gone. Lord Ziyan said we couldn't cause too much of a stir this time. Now that people in Konoha have spotted me, I can only stay here with you. I can't leave them any evidence!"
Sakumo nodded. "No problem! Stay as long as you like! I'll vouch for you!"
While Yūichi was discussing these matters with Sakumo, Hatake Long was already heading toward the Uchiha Clan Compound!
Though Long wasn't a ninja and wasn't particularly skilled
