Gradually, Yu Zhen had become somewhat confident in his "acting."
In this chaotic situation, Yu Zhen only needed to maintain a serious face to be considered the pinnacle of acting, perhaps occasionally revealing a compassionate gaze—in a life-or-death situation, would you not be stoic and instead smile?
Yu Zhen, in the guise of an "Elder," returned to Daisuke's corpse, diligently continuing the autopsy.
Before long, two more ninjas found him.
"Elder, the Clan Head is urgently summoning the clan's higher-ups."
Yu Zhen trembled, pretending to stand up with some difficulty.
He had just seen the Elder's attitude towards the deceased, which seemed very genuine, and he roughly understood that their relationship was not ordinary.
The two ninjas, seeing this, were not surprised. One of them even quickly helped Yu Zhen up.
"What happened again?"
"Two mission squads that were supposed to return to the village in the evening have not returned and have not sent back any news. The Clan Head suspects they have also been attacked."
"So, there is more than one enemy, and they are attacking us internally and externally?" Yu Zhen retorted.
"Yes, Elder."
Yu Zhen nodded. It seemed that Uchiha Nanami and Fūma Gorō had taken action.
Internal attacks combined with external pressure, treating both symptoms and root causes, showed just how fortunate the Tsugawa Clan was.
"Elder?"
"I understand. I'll go see the Clan Head now."
Yu Zhen turned to leave, but stopped after only two steps, saying, "Bring Daisuke's body with you. We'll take it to the Clan Head together."
The two ninjas exchanged glances, then nodded in unison:
"Yes, Elder."
Yu Zhen was still acting, but he needed the two to lead the way.
Although he had learned the village's architectural layout from the collected information, he couldn't possibly know the internal structure of a building without actually entering it. Relying solely on information was not enough to support his performance of a "leisurely stroll" with a familiar attitude.
So, he needed guides.
Moreover, bringing the corpse was also normal. On one hand, the Elder valued this captain very much. On the other hand, as a combat captain, he was already among the top ten most important figures in the clan. Since such a person had died, of course, his body should be displayed to show how important he was.
Faced with Yu Zhen's request, the two ninjas could only play the role of leading a wolf into the house, taking him to the most central power hub... the village committee.
Yu Zhen's silent infiltration and center-focused tactics achieved the expected combat results.
Faced with enemies who were elusive and ghost-like, the middle and lower-level ninjas of the Tsugawa Clan began to panic.
The higher-ups could not turn a blind eye to this infiltration and assassination that shook the clan's foundation. In fact, they were keenly aware of the harm brought by such an enemy. Therefore, except for a combat captain who was out on a mission, the clan's higher-ups had gathered together.
The meeting had to be held; it was unavoidable.
"Leaving aside the lost war materials, a large amount of living and production materials related to the clan's survival have been burned to the ground. How long can we last now?"
"Since the establishment of the village, we have not been without attacks, but I cannot accept the reality that the enemy has not paid any price while we have suffered such great losses."
"The cost? We haven't found any clues about the infiltrators. How many enemies are there? What are their origins? Why are they attacking us? We know nothing."
"Supplies and the logistics department have been destroyed together. If the infiltrators are still hiding in the village, what should we do?"
"The person who can use this kind of silent infiltration and assassination technique can never be a nobody. Based on the existing information, can't we guess his or their origins?"
The high-level members of the Tsugawa Clan, who were in the meeting, were almost exasperated, but it was not difficult for anyone to see the panic hidden under their anxious emotions.
The Clan Head of the Tsugawa Clan is called Tsugawa Taishi, a robust ninja in his late thirties. He coughed lightly to interrupt everyone's argument and said:
"Shuhei, have you found anything at the scene of the incidents?"
Yu Zhen didn't realize that he was being called at first. He knew that there was an Elder in the Tsugawa Clan called Tsugawa Shuhei, who served as the Clan Head's advisor, but he couldn't be sure if "Shuhei" was the one he was playing.
"Shuhei?"
Seeing no response, Yu Zhen confirmed that he was being called.
"Yes, Clan Head."
He agreed, and then there was another silence, seemingly organizing his words.
The Clan Head couldn't help frowning. In the past, Elder Shuhei was not such a procrastinator. Fortunately, at this time, someone whispered in his ear about the assassination of the combat captain, and the Clan Head understood why Elder Shuhei was reacting so slowly.
"The enemy didn't leave any traces, but it is certain that he or they are extremely good at assassination techniques and may be using very special methods to hide and move... If I'm not mistaken, it is likely Earth Release ninjutsu."
Yu Zhen began to analyze himself. Needless to say, what he said was ambiguous.
"The enemy's assassination technique is extraordinary. Our ninjas all died silently from backstabs. It is conceivable that he is likely still hiding in the village, but finding him is by no means easy."
"The important thing now is how we should respond... I suggest that at any time and in any action, we must gather more than three people, and everyone must be vigilant of each other's backs."
"End all external missions, and all ninjas should be concentrated together according to their team affiliation."
"Reconnaissance and sensory ninjas should be scattered and deployed, and the sensory range must intersect each other. Other ninjas should be arranged within their sensory range as much as possible."
"Although it is not easy for us to find the infiltrators, if he is still in the village, it means that his purpose has not been achieved."
"We only need to wait for the rabbit. When he strikes again, seize the opportunity and solve him!"
Although his attitude was serious, Yu Zhen felt more and more strange in his heart. Am I deploying tactics to arrest myself? Although the plan sounds like something, how is this possible to catch?
I am the referee, the judge, and the side witness? No, it's all me.
"What about ordinary clansmen?" The Clan Head thought for a while, and then asked the key question.
No one can guarantee that the infiltrators' target is only ninjas and not civilians.
Yu Zhen was silent, meaning, you know what I mean, how could you not understand?
How to weigh the pros and cons is the Clan Head's power. "Elder Shuhei" is only making suggestions.
After a long silence, the Clan Head said, "Arrange it, just follow Elder Shuhei's plan and let the ninjas in the clan move quickly."
Ninjas are an immediate combat force and the foundation of a clan. At this time, the Clan Head must make some trade-offs.
Yu Zhen looked at another Elder, who had not spoken all the time. Compared to Yu Zhen, who acted as an advisor, the other Elder should be a fighter.
The number of enemies infiltrating the village must be limited, but the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. What is the use of having combat power? If passive defense measures are not taken, someone may become a dead soul at any time.
Who would have thought that Yu Zhen was actually also in the "open," it's just that others couldn't see him.
The Clan Head's approach, of course, couldn't be considered wrong. The more concentrated the ninja were, the more exposed the civilians became. If they couldn't get safety guarantees, they would naturally become more and more panicked over time.
Now was not the time to consider supplies or anything else.
They immediately began to arrange defense matters, setting up a waiting-for-the-rabbit plan.
Yu Zhen, who was sitting next to the Clan Head, naturally saw all of these arrangements clearly.
But he didn't take action immediately. The brewing, spreading, and diffusion of panic always takes time.
It's so good to stay in the village committee; everyone here is talented, and they speak so nicely.
After discussing for another hour or so, the combat captains began to leave. They would summon their teams to appease and control the lower-level ninja.
The Clan Head and the two Elders took turns on night duty, preparing to respond to various emergencies in a timely manner.
So, what will happen tonight?
For a working person, what is worse than working the night shift?
It's working the night shift for the enemy, and they don't even pay you.
So, nothing will happen tonight.
Of course, nothing happened that night.
However, in this calm before the storm, after a night of brewing, almost all Tsugawa ninjas became more and more mentally strained, while their bodies became more and more exhausted.
After all, the more urgent the situation, the faster a person's energy is consumed.
At dawn, "Shuhei Elder" began to pace back and forth in the office. After a while, he finally seemed unable to hold back and said to the Clan Head:
"Clan Head, I'm going to patrol the village."
Clan Head Tsugawa Taishi thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
According to the suggestion made by Yu Zhen earlier, before leaving, two ninjas followed behind him, forming a group of three to counter the unpredictable attacks of the "Unknown Enemy".
Yu Zhen quietly observed the ninjas around him, and found that these two were somewhat listless, and at the same time appeared nervous.
After the three left, under the leadership of Yu Zhen, they went to a place where a combat team was gathered.
Currently, the location of the ninjas in this ninja village was arranged with his participation, so Yu Zhen knew the distribution of the ninjas like the back of his hand.
After arriving at the gathering place of the combat team, Yu Zhen and his party were of course not blocked, and he soon met the captain here.
"Qingjiu Captain, how is everyone doing? Has anything unusual been discovered after a night?"
"Everything is normal, Shuhei Elder, but... we do hope that those sneaky rats can show themselves. This passive counterattack plan is not our style," the captain said.
Yu Zhen nodded and said, "It's good that everything is fine... This time the enemy is a bit special, we must be patient."
After confirming that there was no problem here, and encouraging everyone a few words, "Shuhei Elder" seemed ready to leave.
However, just as he turned around and took a step outward, his whole body suddenly stopped.
Then, the wise Elder seemed to have suddenly discovered something, his eyes flashed with divine light, and he looked at Tsugawa Qingjiu with incomparable horror, opened his mouth and shouted:
"No, you are not Qingjiu Captain, who are you?"
The ninjas here had been on alert all night, and most of them were more or less listless. Now, being disturbed by Yu Zhen's loud voice, many people were shocked.
While they were showing a bewildered and unbelievable expression, Shuhei Elder had already stabbed Qingjiu Captain in the chest with a knife.
It is difficult for ordinary people to react to this kind of scene where an old cadre who comes to express condolences suddenly changes his face one hundred and eighty degrees.
Tsugawa Qingjiu stared, looked up at the Elder, then looked down at his chest. His brain was unable to think as if it was rusty. He had no idea what was going on.
Am I... am I not Tsugawa Qingjiu? Then who am I?
It is also difficult for other people to react in time to the conflict between their direct superior and the high-level members of the clan, because at this time they cannot judge who they should believe.
"Everyone, don't move, block the door, don't let this impostor run away! He is disguised by the enemy."
Yu Zhen came prepared, and naturally began to play the trick of a thief calling to catch a thief.
After hearing the word "run", this Qingjiu Captain finally reacted under Yu Zhen's kind reminder... No matter what is going on right now, if he doesn't want to die, then he must escape from here.
So, he covered his chest with one hand, turned around and ran away immediately.
Yu Zhen clearly gave the order not to move, but after the captain escaped without being stopped, he stomped his feet in hatred, and said:
"Why didn't you stop him... Forget it, don't move, I'll go after him myself."
Amidst everyone's bewildered gazes, Shuhei Elder began to pursue the half-crippled Qingjiu Captain.
Subsequently, sounds of battle echoed from afar, and the reconnaissance ninjas stationed nearby also detected the anomaly.
The battle seemed very brief. After two or three minutes, Qingjiu Captain, covered in blood, staggered into a small alley, concealing himself while moving towards the base of another combat team.
This side seemed to have noticed the commotion in the village. However, before they could react, Qingjiu Captain had already rushed in.
"Qingjiu Captain, what... what happened?"
This captain was named Tsugawa Sheng Tian. Seeing Tsugawa Qingjiu severely wounded, covered in blood, and barely able to stand, he immediately rushed over to support him.
Well, actually, it doesn't matter what these captains are called.
Qingjiu Captain looked extremely miserable, saying with his last breath:
"It's Shuhei Elder... Tsugawa Shuhei Elder is insane, he's an enemy spy! He suddenly launched an attack on me during the morning patrol."
"I escaped by luck, but... quickly, quickly inform the Clan Head, I probably won't make it."
The voice sounded like it was squeezed out of his throat, as if he were saying his last words.
Theoretically, people tend to believe the dying words of a person on the verge of death. However, just as this Qingjiu Captain began to roll his eyes, his body convulsing due to excessive blood loss...
His right hand steadily plunged a Kunai into Sheng Tian Captain's chest.
The dying Qingjiu Captain, as if experiencing a final burst of energy, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted sharply:
"No, you're a spy too!"
Yu Zhen could now understand the feeling of the White Zetsu being in a no man's land in the Ninja Allied Forces. The weaker side could stir up trouble, giving him the illusion that he was strong.
Fortunately, Yu Zhen was a rational person and would not be deceived by this illusion.
It had nothing to do with his strength, but simply because the enemy couldn't defend against it. The enemies willingly exposed their soft bellies, so what could Yu Zhen do?
Just stab them relentlessly.
It could be seen that Yu Zhen had adopted a different attack strategy starting today. He no longer sneakily attacked from behind like yesterday, but directly chose to "bluff."
The reason was simple: this would make the enemy more confused and more fearful.
"You... you..."
Sheng Tian Captain was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This time, Yu Zhen accurately pierced his heart.
"Hello?"
Yu Zhen thought this person was greeting him politely, so he responded in a polite and friendly manner:
"Hello to you too."
Tsugawa Sheng Tian was certainly not well. The blade still stuck in his chest made him feel like the area around the wound was being burned by flames, while the rapid blood loss made him feel cold all over.
However, his vitality was tenacious, and he could theoretically last for a few more minutes. However, after hearing Yu Zhen's sincere greeting, perhaps feeling the last bit of beauty in the world, he immediately kicked the bucket.
Yu Zhen felt that this young man was a bit temperamental. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he stopped acting and turned to run.
The scene that had just unfolded was so beyond imagination that no one managed to chase him in time.
On this very morning, countless people in the village witnessed the bizarre spectacle of Elders killing Captains, and Captains killing Captains.
It was simply unbelievable, enough to make one lose their mind.
"What... what is happening?"
Clan Head Tsugawa Taishi stood by the window, watching the visible commotion, unrest, and chaos outside, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Facing an invisible enemy, his heart was also becoming restless.
A very bad premonition kept emerging in his mind.
Sure enough, his premonition was quickly confirmed as a reconnaissance ninja rushed in.
The reconnaissance ninja's gaze quickly locked onto the Clan Head, and then he said at a rapid pace:
"Clan Head, something terrible has happened! Elder Shuhei suddenly turned hostile while inspecting the village and attacked Qingjiu Captain without warning."
"After suffering heavy injuries, Qingjiu Captain barely escaped, and then, when Sheng Tian Captain came to his aid, he suddenly became terrified and irrationally killed Sheng Tian Captain."
"Qingjiu Captain then fled again."
"Currently, both Qingjiu Captain and Elder Shuhei are missing..."
Tsugawa Taishi blinked. First, he doubted his ears, and then he began to doubt his mind.
What on earth was this guy saying?
By the time Tsugawa Taishi's mind finally caught up and he understood the specific meaning of this information, he only felt his veins bulging and the temples on both sides of his head throbbing.
"Why... what on earth is happening?"
Even though he had learned the latest information, he almost subconsciously repeated the question he had just asked.
Immediately afterward, he thought of the most reasonable but factually incorrect explanation: someone in the clan had been controlled by the enemy's Genjutsu; only those whose minds had been invaded would suddenly attack their own clansmen.
But soon his guess was disproven, and new news arrived again.
Another ninja came before him and said:
"Clan Head, Qingjiu Captain's body has been found. Based on his movements after being injured, we speculate..."
"Speculate what?"
"We speculate that Qingjiu Captain was already dead before he attacked Sheng Tian Captain. His body was found in the alley between the deployment locations of the two teams."
"Huh?"
Tsugawa Taishi felt his mind turn into a chaotic mess again, and his thoughts became increasingly confused:
"Qingjiu died before Sheng Tian, then how did Sheng Tian die? Who killed him?"
At this moment, a third ninja rushed to Tsugawa Taishi, panting. His face was filled with anxiety, incomprehension, and even fear as he said:
"Clan Head, we found Elder Shuhei's body in the residence of the deceased Daisuke Captain. According to the body, the Elder's time of death should have been a day ago."
After thinking about it, he added, "It's very likely that he died at the same time as Daisuke Captain."
Tsugawa Taishi's head was no longer dizzy; he only felt a chill down his spine.
Elder Shuhei had died long ago, so who had been here in the meetings from yesterday to this morning?
Cold sweat trickled down Tsugawa Taishi's eyes. At this moment, he only felt as if he was enveloped in endless darkness... Could the enemy transform into his own clansmen without leaving any flaws?
Could they even imitate Chakra signatures perfectly?
The thought was terrifying. Tsugawa Taishi quietly distanced himself from the three ninjas who had brought him the latest news.
In other words, from now on, no ninja within the clan could be trusted. Anyone could suddenly attack him.
"What... exactly are we fighting?"
The Clan Head's mood at this moment was even worse than the feeling of an impending storm. He felt that the entire ninja clan was standing on the edge of a cliff, and one wrong step would lead to complete destruction.
After burning down two warehouses, killing a few ninjas, and putting on a slightly insane performance, Yu Zhen temporarily retreated from that village.
At this moment, his mood was somewhat complicated. He knew that just a few months ago, the Tsugawa Clan was still an irresistible behemoth to him. When the Hagumiya Clan's village was destroyed, any resistance from him at that time seemed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, in such a short period of time, the positions of the two sides had been reversed.
The powerful Tsugawa Clan had instead become the vulnerable party.
On the one hand, after his physique and Chakra were strengthened, and he was able to skillfully use the White Zetsu's infiltration ability, Yu Zhen's strength had made great progress; on the other hand, the offensive and defensive relationship between the two sides had already been reversed.
Yu Zhen realized that ninjas were indeed a profession that emphasized extreme offense, and could only actively initiate attacks.
His actions were so smooth that they could be described in a very common way as... one bad apple spoils the whole barrel.
Although a bad apple is small, it does have the ability to disgust people.
After reuniting with the other two, they each reported their progress.
Uchiha Nanami and Fūma Gorō had not only intercepted several teams of ninjas, but had also conveniently eliminated a combat captain, which was an unexpected gain.
"What about the enemy's Clan Head?" Uchiha Nanami asked Yu Zhen.
Yu Zhen took a water bottle and took a big gulp, then let out a long breath before saying, "According to plan, he's still being kept safe and sound."
It wasn't just about keeping the Clan Head alive, but according to Yu Zhen's plan, it would be best to eliminate him at the last moment... When a ninja clan had endured enough psychological pressure, the death of the Clan Head would be the moment of their collapse.
"So... the enemy's high-level forces now only consist of a Clan Head, an Elder, and a combat captain," Fūma Gorō calculated, counting on his fingers.
Yu Zhen nodded.
"Are we going to launch a strong attack on the village according to the plan?" Uchiha Nanami asked again.
Their ultimate goal was to disperse this ninja clan, so they had to make a big commotion.
"According to the original plan, we need to allow enough time for the spread of fear, so we'll start in three days... At that time, most of our people will have just caught up, so we'll have enough manpower to clean up the battlefield."
Moldy things become more sour and smelly after being covered up.
At this moment, the Tsugawa Clan would never think that the attacks they were suffering were revenge from a small, unknown ninja clan that they had destroyed. They would only think that they had offended some major force in the Ninja World at some point, so the other party wanted to play with them and destroy them.
Slightly lengthening the attack period would put their psychological endurance to a great test.
Yu Zhen would not be idle during these three days. He would infiltrate the Tsugawa's village from time to time, either assassinating or directly setting fires. In short, he would keep their spirits tense and not allow them to relax for a moment.
Time flew by quickly, and soon it was the evening of the third day.
Just three people are about to launch a strong attack on a ninja clan.
According to the plan, Yu Zhen will infiltrate the village and carry out the "center blossom" operation, while Uchiha Nanami and Fūma Gorō will attack from the outside in.
Uchiha Nanami and Fūma Gorō no longer concealed themselves. After an explosion was heard in the village, the two of them swaggered towards the village gate.
At the same time, Uchiha Nanami began to weave hand signs unhurriedly.
Perhaps because her ninjutsu origin had been misunderstood by Yu Zhen before, she decided to make a distinction at this time, so that he could understand that the Fire Release ninjutsu of different Uchiha ninjas are different.
Although she was still quite far from the village walls, Uchiha Nanami had already completed the hand signs, so she paused slightly.
But this distance could never be included in the attack range of ordinary Fire Release ninjutsu...
Only to see Uchiha Nanami twitch her nose slightly and take a deep breath:
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation."
Well...
This is Uchiha Madara's ninjutsu.
The scorching heatwave surged rapidly through the atmosphere, the fiery waves violently rubbing against the air, emitting a dull and drawn-out, peculiar sound, like the long cry of some unknown, gigantic creature.
The technique Uchiha Nanami cast only released a thin stream of fire, but by the time it crossed the vast distance and slammed into the village walls, it had transformed into a raging sea of flames.
One person, one ninjutsu, yet it created the illusion of an army pressing down.
Countless Tsugawa ninjas gaped, witnessing this scene of "Surging Waves Crashing on the Shore."
Boom!
Accompanied by a massive explosive sound, under the impact of the giant flames, the village's outer defenses, which had seemed decent enough, were like a wooden pier ravaged by a tsunami, destroyed in an instant.
Half the sky was ablaze, like the afterglow of doomsday.
"Making such a big commotion..."
Yu Zhen, who was walking along the main road in the center of the village, couldn't help but turn his head to look after hearing the commotion not far away, and was taken aback.
He had indeed instructed Uchiha Nanami to make a big commotion, the purpose of which was merely to "enhance the momentum" so that the frightened birds who had already fallen into panic would scatter and flee, but he didn't expect her to make such a big commotion.
Yu Zhen, of course, couldn't judge exactly what kind of ninjutsu Uchiha Nanami had used, but she had clearly overfulfilled the task.
Truth be told, even with the same Fire Release, the effect would be different depending on who used it. Uchiha Nanami's Great Fire Annihilation certainly made a preemptive strike, but the power of the "imitated version" was still far inferior to the original.
Without considering the natural enhancement to Genjutsu, Uchiha Nanami's Mangekyo Sharingan could actually only be used as a decoration most of the time. As long as one was careful of her Genjutsu, the combat power of Mangekyo Sharingan Nanami was actually not much different from that of Three-Tomoe Sharingan Nanami.
Since his teammate had played a role that exceeded expectations, Yu Zhen couldn't be idle either. He slowly formed hand seals:
Fire Release: Garuda!
A fierce orange-red pillar of fire rushed towards the distance. Although the scale was not comparable to Uchiha Nanami's Fire Release, this technique could also be regarded as the kind of conventional Fire Release with the largest range and power.
The power of Fire Release is built up with Chakra.
What is the purpose of setting up dominoes? To knock them down at the last moment. What was the purpose of Yu Zhen storing so much Chakra? It was to squander it all now... even not to use it, but to splash it out.
"Garuda" was a Fire Release ninjutsu that Yu Zhen "micro-innovated" using Fire Release Chakra based on the Chakra operation method of the Water Dragon Bullet. The performance effect was similar to Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, which was the kind of Fire Release ninjutsu that could bring a wide range of destruction.
In dense residential areas, this was a ninjutsu that had to be defended against.
"Water Release: Water Flow Wall!"
Several Tsugawa ninjas rushed out. They formed hand seals together, creating and mobilizing a large amount of water, and raised a thick water barrier directly in front of the fire dragon, directly blocking Yu Zhen's Fire Release.
With a hissing sound, the flames disappeared into the water like a clay ox entering the sea.
"Good defense..." Yu Zhen murmured.
But, have you ever heard of a palm technique falling from the sky... no, have you ever heard of "Dragon Meteor Shower"?
He formed hand seals again and began to release the second ninjutsu:
Fire Release: Kumbhira!
The fire dragon soared into the sky. Except that the attack direction changed from horizontal to inclined upwards, this Fire Release looked no different from the previous one.
One couldn't help but wonder if Yu Zhen had missed.
However, when it reached mid-air, the momentum of the forward rush suddenly stopped, and then suddenly burst open like fireworks. The fire dragon instantly turned into fire lines rushing in all directions, like a meteor shower dragging long tails of flame, falling from top to bottom, covering the village with a huge attack range.
The fire began to spread uncontrollably through the village.
Many Tsugawa ninjas who had originally tried to rush over and encircle Yu Zhen had to change direction, throwing themselves into rescue and firefighting efforts.
Although Yu Zhen and his group's previous actions had greatly shaken these ninjas' minds, even paralyzing their command center, inertia meant that these Tsugawa ninjas were not yet completely headless flies.
But Yu Zhen knew that at this point, only one final push was needed to defeat them.
The collapse of a ninja clan, the disintegration of a group's morale, always requires a symbolic event.
Before the infiltration operation began, Yu Zhen hesitated repeatedly, unsure whether he should assassinate their Clan Head first, but after careful consideration, he decided to leave the Clan Head for last.
And it would be best to deal with the Clan Head in a normal battle, rather than assassinating him...
Now, while dealing with a large number of Tsugawa ninjas, he wantonly destroyed things, waiting for the arrival of that Clan Head.
The Clan Head couldn't possibly not appear.
However, before the Clan Head showed up, the one who arrived at an even faster speed was the remaining Elder.
But just as the Elder was rushing over, the Elder suddenly heard a sharp sound of air being torn, and then the Elder caught a glimpse of a high-speed shadow coming from the side and rear.
The Elder had no choice but to stop and twist to dodge.
With a "thump," like a drumstick hitting a drum.
A large Fūma Shuriken grazed the Elder's body and was embedded in the wall to the left of the road.
The Elder subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the attacker, but before the Elder could see the enemy's appearance clearly, another figure rushed between them with lightning speed, a pair of Sharingan with strange patterns entering the Elder's field of vision.
In the blink of an eye, the vigilance on the Elder's face disappeared.
Perhaps Yu Zhen's "Genjutsu immunity" trait made Uchiha Nanami a little unconfident, so when preparing to control this important figure in front of her, she was overly cautious, using a Genjutsu enhanced by the Mangekyo Sharingan directly.
How should one put it? Since Uchiha Nanami used this level of power, there was no reason for this Elder not to be controlled by the Genjutsu.
After the Genjutsu took effect, the Elder clearly forgot the Elder's original mission, turned around, and began to turn the butcher's knife against the Elder's own clansmen.
After Uchiha Nanami and Fūma Gorō stormed into the village, their primary goal was not to kill the enemy, but to help Yu Zhen share the pressure.
Several minutes later, that familiar figure finally appeared in Yu Zhen's field of vision.
Although a little late, Clan Head Tsugawa Taishi finally found Yu Zhen.
The Clan Head looked serious, but in reality, the Clan Head was barely able to suppress the anger in the Clan Head's heart, staring at Yu Zhen with eyes unblinking, asking:
"Who are you people, who hired you, and why are you attacking us?"
"This question... is a little naive. Does a ninja need a special reason to attack another group of ninjas?" Yu Zhen retorted.
Of course, a reason is needed, but Yu Zhen chose not to say it.
