The night sky over Konoha was shrouded in dark clouds.
In Guiya's house, Bingkui lay on the sofa like a corpse.
Guiya sat at the table, wearing a special pair of glasses over his left eye, with dozens of light spots flashing on the lens.
Each location represents the perspective of a fly puppet.
These miniature puppets are scattered throughout Konoha, transmitting images and sounds back in real time.
"There's some activity near the Naka Shrine in the Uchiha Clan Compound," Guiya muttered to himself.
The lens showed that Uchiha Yashiro and Inabi were walking briskly towards the shrine.
Several young Uchiha ninjas cautiously surveyed the surroundings, clearly on guard against something.
He switched his perspective, looking at the surveillance point of Konoha Anbu.
The Anbu squad that was originally responsible for patrolling has been replaced by Root ninjas at some point.
The two are easy to distinguish: the Anbu mainly wears animal masks, while the Root prefers to wear demon masks.
The footage shows that the Root ninjas were positioned very strategically, almost completely blocking all the main roads leading to the Uchiha Clan Compound.
It's clear they're not planning to leave any survivors.
Guiya marked the Root ninja's deployment on the map in front of him, while recording all the intelligence he had gathered.
After confirming that everything is correct.
The image on the lens switched again, showing Uchiha Itachi's location.
He was standing at the edge of the clan's territory, his gaze coldly fixed on the direction of the Hokage Rock, lost in thought.
Just as Guiya was about to control the fly puppet to get closer.
Uchiha Itachi's gaze shifted slightly, locking onto the fly puppet hidden among the leaves.
A Shuriken gleaming with a sharp, cold light suddenly loomed large in the field of vision.
The screen suddenly disappeared.
Guiya immediately severed the connection to prevent being tracked in the opposite direction, and then quickly switched to another perspective.
However, it was soon discovered that several fly puppets on the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan Compound lost signal one after another within a dozen minutes.
"Was it cleared...?"
Guiya adjusted the remaining fly puppets, leaving only a dozen or so. This significantly reduced the area he could monitor, limiting him to a few key locations.
Within the Uchiha Clan Compound, more and more clansmen are gathering near the Naka Shrine.
The Root ninjas' deployment is still being adjusted, seemingly awaiting some signal.
The lights in the Hokage Building were still on, but the number of guards had noticeably increased.
What Guiya was most concerned about was Uchiha Itachi's movements.
"Where did he go?"
Guiya's gaze swept quickly across the various surveillance points, but he still couldn't spot Uchiha Itachi.
At the edge of the lens, a tiny point of light suddenly flickered.
Guiya immediately zoomed in on the image.
At the edge of the training ground, Uchiha Itachi stood alone, with a black-haired girl behind him intently practicing Shurikenjutsu.
Uchiha Izumi.
Guiya knows this person; he's someone Bingkui Master is paying close attention to, and his background is rather complicated.
Her father was a ninja of the Uchiha Clan, and her mother was just an ordinary villager, so Uchiha Izumi did not live in the Uchiha Clan Compound when she was a child.
During the Nine-Tails Attack, her mother sacrificed herself to protect her, and her father died early in the mission.
As a result, Uchiha Izumi awakened her Sharingan and was taken back to the Uchiha Clan to live.
Now he is thirteen years old and is also a genius with Mitsudomoe.
Guiya tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and the image on the lens froze on Uchiha Izumi.
The girl's Shuriken drew sharp arcs in the air, each strike hitting the bullseye precisely. Her movements were clean and efficient, clearly the result of long-term, rigorous training.
However, Uchiha Itachi, who was standing not far from her, kept his back to her, seemingly oblivious to the girl behind him.
"Strange..." Guiya murmured softly.
According to intelligence, Uchiha Izumi harbors special feelings for Uchiha Itachi, while Uchiha Itachi also has some affection for Uchiha Izumi.
However, their interactions seemed quite unfamiliar.
Guiya immediately adjusted his perspective, preventing the fly puppet from getting close, and instead zoomed in on the details of Uchiha Itachi's face.
But then I saw that his Three-Tomoe Sharingan had already been activated, and a barely perceptible dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Snap--
The Shuriken, delivered suddenly, pierced precisely through the fly puppet's core, pinning it to the tree trunk.
" Itachi-kun, what's wrong?"
Uchiha Izumi paused for a moment, then turned her head in confusion to look in the direction from which the Shuriken had come.
"It's alright, some rats just won't leave!"
Uchiha Itachi slowly withdrew his hand and strode towards the fly puppet.
"Is this the Sharingan? It was revealed so quickly..."
Guiya switched to one of the last three hidden perspectives nearby and continued to observe the two's movements from a distance.
In the lens, Uchiha Itachi is bending over to examine the remains of a puppet.
After a brief examination, he said softly, "A puppet from Sunagakure, a spy... so small! Or is there an uninvited guest?"
Uchiha Izumi jogged up to catch up, and having also heard Uchiha Itachi's words, asked, "Should we report this to the Police Force?"
"No need." Uchiha Itachi straightened up. "Izumi, you go back first. I still have some things to do."
After Uchiha Izumi left, Uchiha Itachi stood still.
Guiya sent two fly puppets to follow Uchiha Izumi, while the remaining one continued to keep an eye on Uchiha Itachi.
But at that moment, Uchiha Itachi suddenly turned his head to look at the hidden surveillance point, Mitsudomoe merged into a strange blade-shaped pattern.
" Tsukuyomi!"
Guiya knew something was wrong and yanked off his glasses, but it was too late.
Before losing consciousness completely, he used his last bit of strength to press the alarm device under the table.
Bingkui suddenly opened his eyes, sprang up from the sofa, and rushed to Guiya's side in a few steps.
"Have we been exposed?"
She reached out and touched Guiya's carotid artery; it was ice-cold to the touch.
Those wide-open eyes still held the lingering fear of the last moment, as if they had suffered some terrible torment.
Through the several files and maps on the table.
Bingkui quickly analyzed the current situation: the opponent had been tricked while monitoring Uchiha Itachi.
" Tsukuyomi, huh! A master of Genjutsu is such a nuisance! I can't stay here any longer."
The Bingkui stuffed the map and files into the sealing scroll.
He then took out twelve Explosive Tag from his ninja tool pouch and stuck them in various corners of the room.
She gently placed the last one on Guiya's chest.
"Sorry, partner."
The method of dying from a mental breakdown is too attention-grabbing.
Given the professionalism of Konoha Anbu, they could extract memories from the dead's minds, and even the Bingkui couldn't claim to be able to completely erase all traces from the room.
Why not just blow it up completely?
During his time wandering around Konoha, Bingkui also came into contact with other spies the village had developed; he simply changed his identity.
If all else fails, go hide in the Forest of Death.
Anyway, the Swift Release Puppet and the main body have already arrived, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Boom boom boom--
The Bingkui didn't look back at the explosion; its body had already smashed through the back window and leaped out.
Almost at the same instant, a scorching wave of fire swept in from behind, the shockwave pushing against her back, and splinters of wood and rubble grazing her cheeks.
