Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 22 The assassination attempt on the Daimyo of the Land of Fire shocks the land!

"Is there anything else?" Shisui stopped and turned to look at Shingetsu.

Shen Yue didn't answer immediately, but instead winked at Qing Shui and Tie Shu beside her: "You two, go outside the courtyard and keep an eye out for any unauthorized people."

"Yes!" Seeing the captain's serious expression, Qing Shui and Tie Shu knew that the conversation was no small matter, so they immediately responded and quickly walked out of the courtyard to stand guard on the perimeter.

Only Shenyue and Shisui remained in the courtyard.

"Brother Shisui, it's probably a bit too early for you to leave now. Something big has happened here!" Shenyue said, her tone grave.

Upon hearing Shingetsu's words, Shisui frowned slightly: "With guardian ninjas and samurai protecting the daimyo, what major incident could possibly occur?"

"What if I said that the current daimyo of the Land of Fire is a fake?" Shingetsu's eyes darted around, looking towards the distant residence of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"What?!" Even with his composure, Zhi Shui's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire has been replaced?

This is a shocking conspiracy that could overthrow the Land of Fire and even shake the entire ninja world!

"Shingetsu, you can't just say things like that! Do you have any evidence? Didn't Jiraiya and the others notice anything?" Shisui was still a little hesitant to believe Shingetsu's words.

"No evidence!" Shen Yue shrugged.

However, he immediately added.

"The current princess, Ruri, has also noticed that something is wrong with the daimyo of the Land of Fire!"

"To be able to perfectly impersonate a daimyo for such a long time without revealing any flaws, ordinary transformation techniques or genjutsu simply cannot achieve this. Unless there is some kind of ninja who can perfectly imitate another person's chakra, memories, and even behavior patterns, and perhaps the other party has mastered special space-time ninjutsu, there is no way to infiltrate the daimyo's residence and replace the daimyo!" He did not directly mention the names "White Zetsu" and "Obito".

After all, these two names are already mentioned.

He himself couldn't explain it clearly.

"If that's really the case, then the other party is terrifying!" After hearing this, Shisui also fell silent.

He leaned against the cold pillars, looking up at the night sky, his face appearing particularly solemn in the moonlight.

If it really is different from what Shenyue predicted.

It involves a level of existence and planning, and its purpose is probably far more than just coveting the treasures in the vault.

Or rather, plotting to seize these treasures was only the first step.

Behind this may lie a massive conspiracy aimed at shaking the foundations of the Land of Fire and even the entire ninja world.

"The danger of this matter far exceeds that of a B-rank mission, and it could even trigger turmoil between nations. Shingetsu, what do you plan to do?" Through their conversation, Shisui had gradually and unconsciously begun to listen to Shingetsu's opinion.

"Brother Shisui, stay behind. Your Body Flicker Technique and Illusion Technique are key to the success of the upcoming operation!"

With Shisui's arrival, Shingetsu already had a preliminary plan in mind.

For example, bringing soil with you.

Let Shisui just give him a Kotoamatsukami.

Let's implement a plan to protect Konoha.

It will make him genuinely love Konoha and protect the Land of Fire.

I bet Ban and Kuro will be devastated.

This isn't just Shingetsu talking nonsense. At this point, Obito, although possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan and Kamui, had not yet obtained the Rinnegan and might not be able to withstand the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami.

If successful, it could not only resolve the current crisis in the capital, but also potentially eliminate a major future threat to the Uchiha clan.

After all, on the night of the genocide, Brother Tu was the king of killers.

First, beat the master's wife, then exterminate the entire clan.

The last line, "Even divine might cannot hide tears," completely whitewashed the situation.

Also no one.

"To be able to analyze so much intelligence and formulate a battle plan in such a short time!" Shisui looked deeply at Shenyue, his ten-year-old cousin. His meticulousness, astonishing courage, and far-reaching planning repeatedly refreshed his understanding of the world.

After a long silence, he finally nodded.

"I understand. This matter cannot be ignored. I will stay and lend you a hand." Shisui's eyes became firm again.

Seeing that Shisui agreed, Shenyue felt much more at ease.

With Shisui as a powerful ally, especially with the trump card "Kotoamatsukami", he felt much more confident.

……

The next day, in the morning.

The main hall of the Daming Mansion.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire sat in the main seat, his expression seemingly calm, but a hint of amusement lurked deep in his eyes.

Di Lu stood with his hands clasped together, half a step behind the daimyo, like a silent guardian Vajra, his aura deep and composed.

Shen Yue entered the hall alone and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"No need for formalities." The fake name waved his hand, his tone calm: "Shingetsu, you've come so early, is there any new development in the case?"

Last night, Lord Obito spoke highly of him, believing he was a better candidate than Itachi and Shisui.

He was also instructed to thoroughly examine this young Uchiha.

"Reporting back to the Daimyo!" Shingetsu raised his head, his expression serious. "After interrogating Utagi Nobunaga overnight and conducting subsequent covert investigations, I have indeed discovered new clues. It seems that General Kurozumi did not act alone; he still has remnants hiding in his residence or the capital. The whereabouts of the large amount of property stolen in the last incident have also been determined."

"Oh?" A glint flashed in the fake name's eyes. "Could it be that he really found out something?"

He knew better than anyone whether Heitan was innocent or not.

Where would they find any accomplices?

His mind raced, and he quickly spoke.

"Tell me in detail!"

"This?" Shen Yue looked troubled, glanced at the guards and maids standing in the hall, and said in a low voice, "This matter is of great importance. The people involved may have sensitive identities, and the information is very easy to leak. Just in case, I ask Your Excellency to dismiss everyone."

"Indeed, being cautious is necessary!" Upon hearing this, the fake daimyo waved his hand and instructed the guards and maids in the hall, "You may all leave."

"Yes!" The guards and maids bowed and accepted the order, filed out of the hall, and gently closed the heavy hall door behind them.

The hall fell silent, leaving only the fake daimyo, Jiraiya, and Shingetsu.

Di Lu remained standing in the same spot, his body motionless.

"Now I can rest assured!" Shen Yue nodded and took a few steps forward.

He came to a distance of about ten meters from the fake name, a distance that was neither offensive nor too short to launch an attack in an instant.

He took a deep breath, as if he were about to begin his report.

However, in the next instant...

Shen Yue suddenly made her move!

Without any hand seals or shouts, the fourth gate of the Eight Gates Formation opened directly.

With a "crack," fine cracks appeared beneath his feet. Chakra erupted, and his figure transformed into a dark afterimage, rushing straight towards the Fire Country Daimyo in the main seat!

"Shingetsu! What are you doing?!" Jiriku was horrified when he saw this scene. He never expected that this Konoha ninja, who had just been rewarded for his meritorious service yesterday, would suddenly launch such a fierce attack on the daimyo today!

Shocked, his duty to protect the ninja made him react instinctively.

"Drink!" Di Lu shouted in a low voice, his monk's robe billowing as he instantly shifted to the side, becoming like a thick wall, precisely blocking the path between Shen Yue and the fake daimyo.

He crossed his arms to block, his powerful chakra flowing through his arms, forcefully blocking Shen Yue's long-prepared hand strike.
