Konoha: Change from Uchiha

In the evening of the second day.

Sasuke put on an ANBU outfit and appeared in Fugaku's office.

Seeing Sasuke in this outfit, Fugaku's mouth twitched slightly and reminded: "Sasuke, in fact, you don't need to be so cautious when investigating Heyuan. Heyuan is just a genin. Even if he conceals his strength, he will not be our opponent."

Sasuke glanced at Fugaku, and then said: "Father, I don't call you Sasuke now. Please call me Eagle."

"Let's look at the map first."

Regarding Sasuke's childish temper, Fugaku shook his head and chuckled, then took out a map of the clan's territory and pointed out the location where Heyuan lived.

Following the location pointed by Fugaku, Sasuke's eyes quickly landed on a certain area in the clan's territory, and he felt a little more sure.

The place where He Yuan lives is not remote, close to the residential area of ​​the village.

Living there will make it easier to pass on information within the clan, and it is undoubtedly the best choice for spies. With various factors added together, it is more likely that Heyuan is a mole.

After thinking for a while, Sasuke asked: "Can we avoid the cameras that monitor the clan in the village? This operation cannot be discovered."

Fugaku nodded: "Don't worry, the clan's jounin has already figured out the surveillance equipment. It's hard to say whether it will be a large-scale operation, but a small-scale operation can still hide the village's eyes."

"That's good." Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief. The last time he encountered the Iwagakure spy, he still had lingering fears.

In the following time, Sasuke and Fugaku sorted out the plan through the map. After finding that there were no loopholes, they nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

Time passed little by little, and the earth was completely shrouded in darkness.

After observing for several hours, Sasuke still didn't see He Yuan walk out of the security building. He cursed: "The security team gets off work so late. Could it be that the ghosts are more conscientious than the ordinary clan members..."

As if he heard Sasuke's thoughts, Fugaku looked a little ugly.

Members of the security force usually leave work at a certain time. It is indeed rare for people like He Yuan to work overtime at nine o'clock. However, when I think that the other party works overtime to collect intelligence about the clan, I can only lament that the clan members are worse than moles. .

Just when Fugaku was about to explain something, Heyuan finally left the guard building.

After looking at each other, Sasuke and Fugaku disappeared, quietly followed Heyuan's footsteps, and arrived on the busy street in a blink of an eye.

After following him all the way, Sasuke has seen Heyuan's popularity, and he is a little more wary of Heyuan. This guy has really integrated into the Uchiha. If he hadn't been from an outsider's perspective, it would be difficult to doubt him. to the other party's body.

About half an hour later, He Yuan finished wandering and returned towards home. After looking around, he entered the house.

This scene naturally fell in the eyes of Sasuke and Fugaku, but they did not act rashly, but continued to lurk near the mansion, waiting for Heyuan's next move.

Soon, after turning off the lights at Heyuan's house, a figure flashed out.

This person was none other than He Yuan, who had gone through a disguise. He sneaked towards the outskirts of the clan and came to a remote alley in a residential area. After knocking on the door three times, he walked in.

By this time, Sasuke and Fugaku could almost conclude that the other party was a spy hidden within the clan.

In the private house, He Yuan took off the mask that concealed his identity, looked at the contact person who was exactly the same as himself, and sighed heavily.

"Batou, how can this mission end? If this continues, I'm worried that the disguise will be seen through by those Uchiha sooner or later, especially the Eagle instructor whom you asked us to monitor. Every time I look at him, I feel like my soul is being seen through. ”

"Niutou, have you forgotten the meaning of our existence?"

Ma Tou glanced at the root ninja codenamed Niu Tou, and then said: "The meaning of our lives is to complete the mission. If you come here to see me rashly this time, you will have a great risk of exposure."

"Of course I know, but it's too tiring to keep pretending. I don't know when the adults will take action. The voices within Uchiha about the coup are getting louder and louder. I'm worried..."

"Keep holding on." Ma Tou also sighed, understanding what Niu Tou was going through.

The two of them have assumed the identity of Uchiha Kabara for many years, and they have always taken turns to perform tasks. One person is playing Uchiha Kabara, and the other goes to report the collected intelligence to Danzo-sama.

But since news of cultivating natural energy appeared within Uchiha, they were asked by Lord Danzo to obtain information.

On the day Niutou joined the special team, he was planted with a curse seal containing natural energy. In order to avoid being spotted by the instructor, Niutou had been playing Uchiha Kabara for the past few months.

Playing the same role for a long time, Niutou almost thought that he was really Uchiha Kabara, which was not a good sign.

A spy needs to blend into the character, but he can't blend in so deeply that he won't recognize himself.

outside the house.

The few conversations between Minotaur and Horsehead have already aroused Sasuke's endless associations. Who would have thought that the spies would be two people?

Fugaku's face next to him also became gloomy and uncertain.

If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, who would have thought that the conscientious logistics management within the clan was actually a traitor.

In fact, they are not Uchiha at all. The real Uchiha Kaori died long ago during the Great Ninja War, and now only the spies placed by high-level officials within the clan are left.

"Don't startle the snake."

Sasuke glanced at Fugaku, who had a gloomy expression, and then came to the door of the alley and knocked three times as usual.

After hearing the knock on the door, Niu Tou and Ma Tou's expressions changed slightly. After looking at each other, Niu Tou took off his mask, came to the entrance, and opened the door a crack.

Through the crack in the door, Niu Tou saw the figure of Konoha ANBU. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door completely.

"Anbu? What are you doing?"

Niu Tou's words were not polite, which was also the normal attitude of the security team towards Anbu. After all, Anbu and the security team were on the same level, and there were constant frictions on weekdays. Being too polite seemed abnormal.

Sasuke ignored Uchiha's question and said directly: "Anbu operations, why do you need to report to the security team? I am here to carry out a mission, but as an Uchiha member, why did you leave the clan so late?"

"What is your attitude? Are you provoking the Uchiha clan?" Niutou was in high spirits.

Sasuke felt a little funny in his heart, but he still kept an indifferent tone: "Hokage-sama has long suspected that the Uchiha clan has evil intentions. If you leave the clan so late, you may be in contact with spies from other villages."

"You are a slanderer." Niutou was angry at first, but soon felt that something was wrong, and stared at Sasuke closely.

It is true that the Uchiha and the village have conflicts, but it is impossible for the ANBU under the Hokage to provoke in this way and intensify the conflict between the Uchiha and the village.

Even when Lord Danzo mentioned Uchiha, his tone was filled with fear.

Therefore, the person in front of him might be a ninja from the ninja clan in the village, or he might be a spy from the hostile ninja village, but it could not be an ANBU.

When he thought about the possibility of being exposed, the murderous intention appeared in Niutou's heart. After touching the kunai, he raised the kunai and stabbed the opponent's body.

Sasuke looked calm. He took half a step back to avoid Kunai's attack. He unsheathed his sword and struck it down with one strike.

Feeling the thunder attribute chakra on the sword's edge, Niutou did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly dodged sideways, but was still hit by the sword. The current paralyzed Quan Sheng, and he could no longer hold the kunai.

The enemy is at least a jounin, so he cannot be attacked hard and must escape first.

Thinking of this, Niutou took out the smoke pill and threw it at the ground. Suddenly, the house and alley were enveloped in smoke, and both parties lost their vision.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound breaking through the air.

The lightning penetrated Niu Tou's calf, and Niu Tou stumbled to the ground in pain. The thick smoke was dispersed by the wind, revealing Niu Tou's ferocious face.

"ANBU, Uchiha will not let you go."

Since Heyuan continued to be immersed in role-playing, Sasuke didn't mind continuing to play with him. A cold voice sounded from under the mask: "No need to struggle, you will not be the last Uchiha to die. You Uchiha clan Only the eyes have a little effect."

Niutou looked gloomy and shouted: "No, you are not the ANBU of the village. The ANBU of the village dare not provoke Uchiha like this. You are either a spy from another village or... an Uchiha."

"Then guess what kind of identity I am?"

While maintaining his indifferent persona, Sasuke approached the Uchiha spy, and his tone gradually became playful, "If I guess correctly, I might be able to let you die without pain. This is already the greatest kindness."

Niutou did not guess, but always paid attention to the strange ninja tool in Sasuke's hands. It was that ninja tool that made him lose the ability to escape.

Then, Niutou suddenly thought of something, his expression gradually became frightened, and he stared at Sasuke.

The curse seal with natural energy in his body reacted just now.

Sasuke was very satisfied with the look in the eyes of the bull head, and began to activate the curse seal in the body of the bull head. Under the influence of the curse seal, the bull head was completely restricted in movement and lost all resistance.

Just when Sasuke was about to use the curse seal to interrogate him, he suddenly frowned.

The bull head whose movement was restricted in front burst out with powerful force, breaking through the restrictions of the curse seal, and then took out a detonating talisman and attached it to his body, detonating it directly.

After the explosion, Sasuke quickly checked the body of the bull head and found that the other party's brain had been destroyed.

It is obviously impossible to interrogate through the curse seal. The explosion just now will also alert other ninjas in the village. For the sake of safety, they must evacuate here as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Sasuke gave up his plan to take away the body and headed towards the planned evacuation point.

the other side.

Using the cover of smoke, Ma Tou fled in the direction of the Hokage Building.

Unlike Niu Tou, who had been under severe mental stress in the past few months, Ma Tou sensed something was wrong early on and was prepared to escape in advance.

While Niutou was entangled with the enemy, he escaped from the mansion.

He was not afraid of death, but the enemy was obviously well prepared. He had to find a way to pass the information to Lord Danzo, so he gave up the bull head.

As for whether Niutou would be captured alive and then leak information, he had never worried about this.

He and Niutou were both ninjas who had been imprinted with the Tongue Jue Seal, so there was absolutely no way they could leak information.

At this moment, Ma Tou, who was still frightened, stopped escaping, and saw a figure on the roof in front of him. The other person's eyes happened to be on his body, and a creepy feeling emerged.

An accomplice of the enemy?

While Ma was thinking rapidly in his mind, he met the opponent's eyes, and the three Magatama Sharingan in the opponent's eyes began to rotate rapidly.

"The three Magatama Sharingan belongs to Uchiha!"

Ma Tou's eyes suddenly froze, he fell into the illusion, and then fell from the roof to the ground.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku walked out of the darkness and slowly walked towards the fallen horse. With complicated eyes, he picked him up and rushed towards the meeting point.

As the leader of the clan, even if he takes action against traitors, he still feels a little sentimental.

The meeting place was at the other end of the clan. Sasuke and Fugaku completed their meeting after going around in a circle.

After seeing the horse's head on Fugaku's shoulder, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief. This trip was not without success. At least the spies Fugaku was responsible for dealing with did not succeed in committing suicide.

After organizing his words, Sasuke talked about the experience of the fight just now, looking a little disappointed.

After hearing Sasuke's experience, Fugaku frowned at first, and then smiled and said: "It's not that there is no gain at all. The other party can commit suicide in that way. It can almost be concluded that he is Danzo's subordinate, but he didn't expect Danzo to be there. A spy has been placed in such an important position in the security force. After we return, we need to clean up the security force."

After hearing this, Sasuke shook his head: "We can't act rashly. When something happens to the front foot clan, the back foot is cleaned. Doesn't it prove that this incident is related to us. Not only can we not clean it, we must use this incident to fight back and let the clan Unity from top to bottom.”

Fugaku's face was serious, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but the ANBU members are at least chuunin. If you can kill them, I'm afraid their strength is not far from that of jounin. I don't plan to start from now on." Have you graduated from ninja school?"

"It's not enough. Let's wait until I awaken the Sharingan. I'm not ready to become a ninja yet." Sasuke made an excuse at random, trying to get over it.

Although his strength exceeds that of many clan members, what truly represents the status of the clan is the level of the Sharingan.

Fugaku had no doubt that he was there, and after slightly nodding, he stopped asking.

After successfully perfunctory, Sasuke looked at the flickering figures in the darkness in the distance, and disappeared in a flash. If nothing else happened, tonight would be another sleepless night.

……

On Konoha Street.

Itachi was on a night patrol with his ANBU colleagues. He had a subtle break with his father, so instead of returning to endure the depressing atmosphere, it was better to perform ANBU duties.

But while performing the mission, he still couldn't help but think about the terrible reality between the clan and the village.

Blindly escaping would only helplessly watch the clan go to destruction, but he could never find a way forward for Uchiha and the village to live in peace.

boom…

Suddenly, Itachi heard the sound of an explosion. The explosion sounded like thunder in the silent night.

Looking in the direction of the explosion sound, Itachi's pupils suddenly shrank. That location was no other place, but the direction of the clan's territory.

"Someone attacked the tribe?"

Itachi thought of this immediately, and countless images of what could happen appeared in his mind.

Without thinking too much, Itachi activated the teleportation technique and disappeared in place, rushing towards the direction of the explosion.

After looking at each other, the rest of the ANBU also followed Itachi's pace. No matter what the cause of the explosion was, as ANBU, they could not ignore it.

After a burst of sound, Itachi appeared at the junction of the Uchiha clan and the residential area, standing on the roof of the place where the incident occurred.

After opening the Sharingan, Itachi's eyes quickly swept across the ground. Among the many traces of battles, he locked on the extremely conspicuous corpse on the ground, and his eyes suddenly focused.

Although the body was mangled with blood and flesh, the guard uniform could still be seen faintly.

The deceased was a member of the Uchiha clan!

While walking towards the body, Itachi looked around vigilantly, looking for enemies that might appear in the dark. After approaching the body, Itachi began to use his Sharingan to check.

After the ANBU who arrived noticed the guard uniform on the corpse, they did not choose to continue approaching. Instead, they protected Itachi in the center, alert to possible enemies around him.

As the ANBU directly under the Hokage, they have great power, but when it comes to Uchiha, they can only hand it over to Itachi, who is also an Uchiha. Otherwise, given the current relationship between Uchiha and ANBU, there may be another turmoil.

After inspecting the body, Itachi was able to confirm that the other person died from the detonating talisman, but his legs were missing for some unknown reason.

And just after Itachi opened the deceased's mouth, his face suddenly darkened.

The black mark in the deceased's mouth was the tongue seal at the root. Although it was hidden very secretly, he could still see that this Uchiha was actually Danzo's subordinate.

In addition to himself, Danzo also planted other spies in the family.

While being horrified by this discovery, Itachi also had many doubts in his mind, which were lingering in his mind and could not be answered.

Who was the person who killed this root spy? Was it his father, the mysterious masked man hiding in the clan, or other big and small ninja clans who hated Uchiha?

Swish swish.

In the sound of breaking the air, more and more ninjas rushed to the scene, and everyone focused on Itachi and the deceased, including members of the security force.

After seeing clearly the clothes on the corpse, the expressions of the Uchiha from the security force changed, because those were exactly the clothes they were wearing.

"Get out, get out."

The Uchihas were shouting as they approached the corpse. After the others saw the clothes on the corpse, they also kept silent and silently made way for them.

It was natural for the Uchiha clan to be emotional after someone died. They could not offend the angry Uchiha.

After realizing that the clan members had arrived, Itachi quietly closed the deceased's mouth, erased the mark, then turned around and looked at the aggressive clan members.

"Itachi, is that you?" The leader Uchiha recognized Itachi, "What's going on with this body?"

Itachi said with a gloomy face: "The deceased was a member of our Uchiha. The specific cause of death is still under investigation, but the body should be left to the ANBU for safekeeping for the time being."

Itachi thought very clearly that the Tongue-Breaking Seal must not be discovered by the tribe, otherwise an unimaginable conflict would break out between the tribe and the village due to the tribe's character. In order to maintain the current stable situation, the body cannot be handed over to the tribe.

After hearing Itachi's words, the Uchiha's expressions changed, and then they said: "Itachi, are you saying that you want to hand over the corpses of your clan members to the ANBU?"

The ANBU next to him also persuaded: "Itachi, let's hand the body to the security force. After all, it is your tribe. The security force should be able to investigate who the murderer is?"

Under this situation, Anbu was unwilling to conflict with Uchiha.

At this moment, the pressure suddenly came to Uchiha Itachi. Itachi did not dare to break with the clan, so he handed over the body.
