Uchiha Clan's Mansion.
The Uchiha Clan's Fuyue sat quietly in the hall with a straight face.
At this time, one of the Uchiha Clansmen hurried in and whispered in Fuyue's ear, "Patriarch, I have found out some news about the Kumo Envoys, Watanabe was kidnapped, and it seems that the culprit is a bounty ninja who covets the bounty on Watanabe's head."
"Kidnapped?!"
After listening to the report, Fuyue's face suddenly became solemn.
After these days of secret contact, the leader of the Kumo Envoys, Watanabe, finally agreed to sneak into the Uchiha Clan's territory tonight and meet with the Uchiha Clan's Patriarch Fuyue.
As a result, Fuyue waited in the clan's territory for half the night, only to receive such a result.
However, what Fuyue doesn't know is that Watanabe is only planning to send a Shadow Clone tonight, taking the last opportunity before his death to sow discord between the Uchiha Clan and Muye Clan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Shadow Clone sneaked out of the Kumo Envoys' encampment, it was seen through by Hyōjin, so he failed to keep the appointment.
After pondering for a long time, Fuyue asked in a low voice, "Where is Zhishui, isn't he responsible for the safety of the Kumo Envoys tonight?"
The Uchiha Clansman who inquired about the news shook his head, "The process of Watanabe's abduction has not been clearly investigated, but the accident should not have happened in the encampment, there are no traces of fighting there."
Fuyue thought for a moment and ordered, "Immediately find Zhishui and find out what happened."
"Yes!"
The Uchiha Clansman immediately disappeared from the hall.
At this time, Fuyue looked at the night outside the house, his face was gloomy and uncertain.
After many attempts, Fuyue can now confirm that Zhishui is on the side of the village. Because of this, the contact between the Uchiha Clan and the Kumo Envoys is so troublesome. Otherwise, with Zhishui's identity as an Anbu, it would be easy to contact the Kumo Envoys on behalf of the Uchiha Clan.
Zhishui's position towards the village has strengthened Fuyue's determination to find Shinichi.
In Fuyue's plan, once Shinichi returns to the family and assists the Uchiha Clan to launch a coup, the village will no longer trust Zhishui, and Zhishui will have no choice but to return to the Clan.
This is also the reason why Fuyue is not in a hurry to have a showdown with Zhishui.
Because Fuyue believes that as long as the Uchiha Clan launches a coup and the internal strife breaks out completely, the village will help him to force Zhishui towards the Uchiha Clan.
At that time, the three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan will be able to sweep the village and seize the position of Naruto that the Uchiha Clan has been longing for for many years.
After a while, another Uchiha clansman jumped in and reported in a low voice, "Patriarch, the clansman responsible for monitoring the Hokage Building has reported that Sandaime has personally led a large number of Anbu to hunt down the bounty-nin who kidnapped Watanabe!"
Fuyue was not surprised by this, instead he stood up and said, "Assemble the Police Force's Jonin squad!"
The leader of the Kumo envoys was kidnapped in the village. Even if it was just for show, Sandaime-sama had to show that he attached great importance to this matter, so Fugaku wasn't surprised that Sandaime-sama would personally participate in the hunt.
The Uchiha Clansman was stunned and asked, "Patriarch, are we also participating in the hunt?"
Fuyue said, "Such a good opportunity to contact the Kumo envoys, how can we let it go so easily!"
Fuyue doesn't care about other things, he only cares about one thing, and that is to contact the Kumo envoys and confirm whether Shinichi Uchiha defected to Kumo or not.
"Yes, I will go and gather the Jonin squad!"
The Uchiha Clansman suddenly understood, and only now did he understand that participating in the roundup was just an excuse, and Fugaku's real purpose was to contact the Kumo envoys in the name of the roundup …
…
Root Base.
The Root ninjas coming and going are constantly reporting all kinds of information to Danzō.
When he heard that Three Generations personally led the Anbu to hunt down the mysterious person, Danzō showed a thoughtful look and asked the man next to him, "Did you find out the identity of the mysterious person?"
A Root ninja next to him handed a document to Danzō and said, "From his appearance, it seems that he is the recently famous bounty ninja 'Suijin' in the Black-market."
"Suijin?!"
Danzō frowned and took the document.
After a quick glance, Danzō threw the document on the ground and said, "Is this the information you collected?"
In addition to a brief description of Suijin's appearance, there is only the identity of the bounty ninja, other than that, there is no other useful information.
Seeing Danzō angry, the Root ninja immediately knelt down and explained, "This Suijin seems to have appeared out of thin air, there is no clue before, so we couldn't find more information."
"Waste!" After angrily scolding, Danzō said, "Continue to investigate! I want to know who this Suijin is! Who is he working for! "
… …
In the forest outside the wall.
Hyōjin glanced at Kakashi's right hand, then moved his eyes to the blood stains on the ground.
In the confrontation just now, Kakashi's Chidori only slightly scratched Hyōjin's right arm, so the injury on Hyōjin's right arm was caused by Chidori's lightning, and Kakashi's right hand was not stained with Hyōjin's blood.
Therefore, as long as a few drops of blood on the ground are dealt with, they can avoid being tracked by the smell.
This is also a place where Kakashi has to guard against, after all, Kakashi has a group of ninja dogs.
Making up his mind, Hyōjin quickly printed the hand seals, "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
In an instant, a huge wave of water surged forward, and the momentum seemed to submerge the entire forest.
Kakashi's face stiffened, and quickly shouted to Guy next to him, "Be careful!"
Guy quickly responded, "Yes!"
Tacitly, the two jumped on the tree at the same time, but their eyes did not move away from Hyōjin's body, and has been watching Hyōjin's every move.
After washing the ground with the Great Waterfall Technique, Hyōjin chuckled and printed the hand seals again, and shouted, "Water Release: Multiple Water Dragon Technique!"
Three huge water dragons with a diameter of one meter instantly rose from the ground, accompanied by splashing water, and hovered around Hyōjin like living creatures.
Hyōjin pointed at Kakashi and Guy on the tree, and the three thick water dragons immediately rushed over.
Kakashi did not dare to be careless, and immediately printed the hand seals, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
In an instant, a water dragon also rose beside Kakashi, protecting him.
Guy, who was on the side, flew to another big tree, avoiding Hyōjin's water dragon attack.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to force Kakashi and Guy to retreat, Hyōjin no longer hesitated, and immediately turned around and fled into the depths of the forest.
At this time, Kakashi's voice came from behind him, "Psychic Technique, Earth Release, Tooth Chasing Technique!"
Bang, bang, bang …
