Chapter 407: All-Day Surveillance Without Blind Spots

~7 min read 1,245 words

Hashirama Residence.

"Hashirama, why did you come back?"

Xuanwo Mizuto heard a movement in the courtyard and hurried out to check.

When she saw her husband's figure, a look of joy appeared on her face.

This guy finally knows to come back and see me!

"Mito, is Xiaogang at home?" Senju Hashirama asked softly.

"Xiaogang went on a mission; only I and Shengshu are at home." Xuanwo Mizuto whispered, "Shengshu has already gone to sleep."

Senju Hashirama instantly let out a sigh of relief.

It's good that Gangshou isn't home; otherwise I'd really fear she would discover me.

If our identities are exposed, then we won't be able to go to Iron Country to accompany Madara Uchiha.

Xuanwo Mizuto was about to speak when her complexion suddenly changed, and she instinctively looked toward the distance.

In her perception, Feijian was walking toward here!

Why would Feijian suddenly visit at this late hour?

Could it be that Hashirama left a clue when he slipped in?

"What happened?"

Senju Hashirama, seeing this, asked curiously, without any awareness of the seriousness.

"Quick, hide, Feijian is here!"

Xuanwo Mizuto immediately told her husband to hide.

If Feijian discovers Hashirama, it will be troublesome!

Although she doesn't like her husband constantly staying by Madara Uchiha's side, she greatly respects every decision of Hashirama.

Even though Mito is somewhat reluctant at heart, she still hopes Hashirama lives the life she likes.

Senju Hashirama's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly found a house to hide in.

Just as he had hidden for a moment, the courtyard door was knocked.

Knock knock knock.

Xuanwo Mizuto kept a calm expression, pretended nothing had happened, and opened the courtyard door.

"Feijian, why did you come?"

She feigned surprise and asked.

"I was passing by my sister‑in‑law's door, wanted to see if she had slept."

Senju Feijian said this while stretching his neck to look into the courtyard.

Just now he had personally seen a dark shadow slip into the courtyard.

Now it's gone.

Then there is only one truth!

That is, the dark shadow hid inside the elder brother's house.

"Just about to sleep."

Xuanwo Mizuto showed no panic, smiled and asked, "Feijian, would you like to come in and sit?"

If it were usual times, Senju Feijian would never disturb his sister‑in‑law at midnight, nor would he agree to enter her house as a guest.

If it were to be inadvertently spread, people would definitely gossip.

One must know how to avoid suspicion.

But now the situation is special, and he did not choose to refuse.

"Then I'll disturb my sister‑in‑law; I'll also take the chance to check on Shengshu, haven't seen that kid for a few days."

Senju Feijian said so and rudely entered the courtyard, his gaze continuously scanning the yard.

He left no possible hiding spot unchecked.

That dark shadow sneaked into the sister‑in‑law's house at midnight; at a glance it's clear he's not a good person!

If he were discovered, he would definitely be beheaded on the spot!

Hidden inside the house, Hashirama heard the movement in the courtyard.

His complexion turned pale instantly; he could only cover his mouth with his hand, not daring to even breathe.

He desperately tried to lower his presence, not daring to leak even a trace of chakra.

As the elder brother, Hashirama naturally knows Feijian's strong perception.

He can only pray in his heart that Feijian does not discover him.

In the past he was confident that Feijian couldn't find him, but now they are only about ten meters apart.

Whether Hashirama will be detected by Feijian now depends on luck.

Senju Feijian scanned the few houses ahead, only sensing Shengshu sleeping inside, and did not detect any other aura.

"Sister‑in‑law, isn't Xiaogang home?"

Senju Feijian sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, asking nonchalantly.

Only his gaze fell on his sister‑in‑law's face.

Trying to read even a hint of panic.

"Xiaogang went out on a mission."

Xuanwo Mizuto smiled, expression unchanged.

She has seen no great storm, so naturally she wouldn't show any slip.

In the Sealed Space.

"White-haired Second Generation, Senju Hashirama is right inside the house!"

"They are hiding inside the house!"

"If you open the door and go in, you'll see them!"

The Nine-Tails roared loudly in the Sealed Space, and the entire fox was on the brink of dying from anxiety.

Unfortunately, being inside the Sealed Space, Qianshou Feijian couldn't hear its roar at all.

"Damn it!"

The Nine-Tails wore a ferocious expression.

It is now sealed, entirely thanks to Senju Hashirama.

If I'm not doing well, Hashirama shouldn't expect to be fine either!

Even so, it has no way to escape the Sealed Space.

The Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique is too powerful.

As long as Xuanwo Mizuto refuses, the Nine-Tails cannot even leak its chakra.

It can only keep praying that Qianshou Feijian will discover Senju Hashirama inside the house.

"Feijian, do you have anything else?" Xuanwo Mizuto said with a smile, "If there's nothing, you can go back early to rest; I'm getting ready to sleep."

"Sorry to disturb big sister, I'll leave right away."

Qianshou Feijian stood up, turned, and walked toward the doorway.

Although they didn't sense anyone else's chakra inside the house, intuition told them that there must be someone inside!

But they didn't feel comfortable storming in directly.

Xuanwo Mizuto escorted Feijian to the doorway and said with a smile.

"Feijian, tomorrow at noon bring Lian Ye to my place for a meal."

Qianshou Feijian was startled by the words, "Big sister, has that kid Lian Ye returned?"

"He just came back not long ago," Xuanwo Mizuto said.

"Alright," Qianshou Feijian replied, leaving with a heavy heart.

Who was the black shadow that slipped into the courtyard?

That familiar feeling couldn't be faked; he was certain he absolutely recognized that person.

He just couldn't think of exactly who it was at the moment.

But it's enough to know that someone is hidden in big sister's house!

Qianshou Feijian didn't go home, but headed straight to the Hokage Office.

Even at midnight, the Hokage Office remained brightly lit.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Yuanfei Rizhan were laboriously reviewing documents.

The two kept reviewing one document after another, never tiring of it.

"Teacher Feijian, you're here!"

Seeing this, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Yuanfei Rizhan put down the documents and hurried to stand.

Qianshou Feijian looked at the two working so hard, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Not bad."

With such a diligent Hokage and assistant, the Village's development is inevitable.

But his purpose for coming here tonight wasn't to praise them.

"Tuan Cang, assemble a team of the ANBU, keep an all‑day, no‑blind‑spot watch around my big sister's house, and report any movement to me immediately."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Yuanfei Rizhan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Why is Teacher Feijian monitoring Lord Mizuto?

This is an all‑day, no‑blind‑spot watch!

Even the evil Uchiha didn't receive such treatment.

"Understood, Teacher Feijian."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang didn't think twice and immediately ordered the ANBU to head to the Hashirama Residence.

The teacher has his reasons for doing so, no doubt.

All I need to do is obey unconditionally.

Qianshou Feijian nodded with satisfaction, a spark flashing in his red eyes.

No matter who that black shadow is, under the ANBU's no‑blind‑spot surveillance,

Sooner or later, their identity will be exposed!
