Night fell.
The Bingkui arrived at the eastern side of the Uchiha Clan Compound.
Sure enough, an opening had been made there, and there were very few members of the Police Force.
Furthermore, during the daytime, members of the Police Force clashed with Root at this location, forcing out many ninjas who had been hiding in the shadows.
The surveillance network on the east side has not yet been restored.
It wouldn't be difficult for the Bingkui to enter the Uchiha Clan Compound unnoticed.
It seems that even the Uchiha Yashiro knew this in his heart.
The Uchiha Clan was no match for the Hokage lineage, so they came up with other ideas.
Whether this is a trap or not depends on tonight's negotiations.
If I fail, I'll just be a Kekkei puppet anyway; once it's gone, it's gone.
Anyway, I've acquired a few Kekkei ninja corpses from the black market recently, which should be enough for now.
Night deepened.
The eastern side of the Uchiha Clan Compound was quiet.
The patrol Police Force members had already changed shifts, leaving only a few scattered individuals patrolling in the distance.
A dark figure silently scaled the wall and landed lightly in the courtyard.
She didn't try to hide herself; instead, she walked towards the main house of the Uchiha Yashiro as if she were an invited guest.
The Uchiha Yashiro's residence was not luxurious, but it exuded the essence of the Uchiha.
Several cherry trees were planted in the courtyard. Although it was not the flowering season, their branches were strong and cast dappled shadows under the moonlight.
The door was slightly ajar, and warm light shone through the crack, vaguely revealing a figure kneeling before the tea table.
"Since you're here, come in." A slightly aged voice came from inside the house.
Bingkui's lips curled slightly as he reached out and pushed open the door, stepping into the room without any hesitation.
"Elder Yashiro, I apologize for the late-night visit."
The Uchiha Yashiro raised his head, his sharp eyes fixed on the Bingkui, and said calmly, "No need for formalities, just state your purpose."
Bingkui sat down opposite Uchiha Yashiro and chuckled, "Then I'll get straight to the point! I'm here for the Sharingan. The number of Tomoe doesn't matter, but Mitsudomoe would be best."
"Ha! You're quite direct." Uchiha Yashiro sneered, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
"Do you know what you're saying? The Sharingan is the glory of the Uchiha, and it's not something outsiders can covet!"
"That's why I came here with sincerity!"
Bingkui calmly took out a scroll from his pocket and pushed it in front of Yashiro.
Instead of immediately examining the scroll, Yashiro stared at the Bingkui and said, "I don't talk to people who hide their true intentions. Tell me who you are first."
A meaningful smile appeared on the Bingkui's lips as her slender fingers gently stroked her cheek.
" The Yashiro Elder is indeed cautious, but..."
As she finished speaking, fine Chakra patterns suddenly appeared on the surface of the panel, and intricate mechanical structures were faintly visible at the joints.
"A puppet? You're from Sunagakure?"
Seeing the Bingkui's drastically changed appearance, Yashiro's eyes flickered slightly, and he said sarcastically, "Since when has Sunagakure dared to meddle in Konoha's affairs? They've even set their Sharingan."
I initially thought it was one of the other major ninja villages.
It seems there's no need for further discussion now; everyone knows what kind of place Sunagakure.
It's worth it, and it's not just about hoping the Uchiha Clan can successfully stage a coup.
"Go back. I can pretend I didn't see you tonight, and let's not discuss the cooperation anymore." Uchiha Yashiro immediately gave him the order to leave.
Upon hearing this, the Bingkui did not get up, but instead let out a low laugh.
" Yashiro Elder, I hope you'll think this through before you speak! If I leave, the Uchiha Clan will be wiped out within two days."
Seeing that the Uchiha Yashiro was about to unleash a furious tirade.
Bingkui pointed to the scroll on the table and continued, "Before you start cursing, you might as well take a look at the contents first."
The Uchiha Yashiro sneered, his withered fingers breaking the scroll's seal.
But as he scanned the first line of text, the teacup suddenly shattered in his palm with a 'bang'.
"The spies from Sunagakure are quite capable."
It is clearly recorded on the scroll.
[At midnight tomorrow, Uchiha Itachi will cooperate with Root to carry out the clan extermination operation]
The scroll ends with photos of Uchiha Itachi Danzo and Uchiha Itachi frequently entering and leaving the Hokage Building.
Combined with the recent findings of the Police Force, it would be difficult for Uchiha Yashiro not to believe it.
After all, Danzo Uchiha Shimura Danzō, but what he didn't expect was that Hiruzen Sarutobi had actually anticipated it.
Why!!!
Although they were preparing for a coup, they didn't actually intend to stage one; they were merely using this method to express their stance.
Those bastards actually dared to go to such extremes.
Uchiha Yashiro gripped the scroll tightly with his fingers, his Sharingan swirling wildly, the three Tomoe almost forming a single image.
"These beasts..." The old man's voice was hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat.
The Bingkui waited quietly, its fingers rhythmically tapping on the table.
"What does Sunagakure want?" Uchiha Yashiro finally raised his head and asked.
" Sharingan, Mitsudomoe is best, one or Two-Tomoe is acceptable, but there must be at least ten pairs," Bingkui answered decisively.
"In exchange, Sunagakure can find a way to take twenty Uchiha clan members away from Konoha."
The Uchiha Yashiro sneered, "Twenty people? Do you even know how many members the Uchiha has?"
"This is the limit. I can't guarantee that all twenty people will be able to leave." The Bingkui's voice was completely unwavering.
"But..."
She pointed to the scroll, "You should know that after tomorrow night, apart from Sasuke Uchiha, no one else will survive."
"These beasts!"
Uchiha Yashiro couldn't help but curse again, then fell into deep thought.
This will be a huge gamble.
If successful, the Uchiha Clan can continue its bloodline outside the clan.
If they fail, the Uchiha Clan will truly become history.
Ironically, the Uchiha Clan, which had remained at the top of the Shinobi World for hundreds of years through chaotic times, faced annihilation within just a few decades of joining Konoha.
After a long silence.
Uchiha Yashiro said, "To be honest, I don't believe Sunagakure can protect my Uchiha clan."
Given the importance that ninja villages place on their Kekkei clans, they would never allow any remnants to escape, and any attempt to accept the Uchiha Clan's influence would be met with Konoha's fierce retaliation.
Furthermore, he didn't believe that the person opposite him could represent Sunagakure.
... Let's just forget about it.
"Elder Yashiro, I know you don't believe me, but have you ever heard of the Reform Society or the name Hoshino?" Bingkui asked.
Reform Society? Hoshino?
The Uchiha Yashiro frowned.
I haven't heard of the former, but I have heard of the latter name—a rising star from Sunagakure.
The Uchiha Clan's main business was selling war equipment together with the Ninja Cat Clan, and their major customers were mostly people from the major ninja villages.
Of course, I had heard of this name before.
Furthermore, Hoshino was also listed on the black market, with a bounty of five million taels placed on his head by the Red Sand Clan.
