Chapter 66: Lost Memories: Even a Brute Knows How to Wage Information Warfare

"Do not meddle; you should go do what you are supposed to do."

Uchiha Yao turned his head, looking at the black shadow that had already taken on a human form.

"Hehehe, I am very much looking forward to this brat's dark side."

The black shadow let out an eerie, strange laugh, slowly approached the unconscious Uchiha Gin, and extended a pitch-black hand to press it onto his head.

Just then, two figures burst into Uchiha Yao's laboratory; Uchiha Yao frowned when he saw the arrivals from afar.

"I thought I could stall for a while; I didn't expect them to come so quickly. Uchiha Tajima is no longer the indecisive boy he once was."

Wangliang had already informed him in advance of Uchiha Miao's return; to stall the other party, he had spent the night drafting a proposal regarding those two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan.

This plan was of great importance, and the loyal Uchiha Miao would certainly go to ask for Uchiha Tajima's opinion at the first opportunity.

This would have bought him quite a bit of time, but he had not expected his former indecisive disciple to become so much more decisive after becoming the clan head.

"Wangliang, terminate the plan. You first possess Uchiha Gin's body, and wait for my orders before acting."

He could not expose Wangliang's existence, and his own actions would surely lead Uchiha Tajima to remove him from this research, and Uchiha Gin would also be protected.

The black shadow did not hesitate, turning into a pool of black water and merging into Uchiha Gin's body.

"Uchiha Yao! The clan head has ordered the experiment to be terminated."

Uchiha Miao, carrying the round Uchiha Yan, rushed before Uchiha Yao, travel-worn, and produced Uchiha Tajima's appointment letter.

"What, was the clan head not tempted after seeing my plan?"

Uchiha Yao turned his head, looking coldly at his two fellow clansmen.

"This period does not require such a plan. The clan head has appointed me to take over your research. The clan head specifically instructed that you, Uchiha Yao, have been overworking lately, so you should go home and recuperate for a while."

Uchiha Yan and the other watched the indifferent-looking Uchiha Yao with hostility, remaining on guard in secret, fearing this guy might suddenly lash out; the other party was not a simple researcher.

"You need not be nervous. Since it is the clan head's order, I shall naturally comply."

Uchiha Yao looked at the two men, who were on guard, shook his head, took off his lab coat, and turned to leave the laboratory.

"Is it that simple?"

Uchiha Miao and his companion looked at each other, feeling that the other party had retreated too easily.

"Never mind that; let's send Gin back first."

The round Uchiha Yan looked at the unconscious Uchiha Gin and urged.

Unable to guess what Uchiha Yao's true intentions were, Uchiha Miao had to stop thinking about it for now, turned around, and together with Uchiha Yan, brought Uchiha Gin back to his resting quarters.

Walking out of the research institute, Uchiha Yao turned his head to take one last look at the place where he had spent most of his life, a flash of regret passing through his eyes.

"What a pity, everything here will soon be reduced to ashes, along with this sinful clan."

Uchiha Yao muttered to himself, a look of madness appearing on his aged face.

"Jin, this world without you has no need to exist."

Night fell, and on a hillside several dozen miles outside the Uchiha clan grounds, a disguised figure stood under the moonlight, as if waiting for something.

Following the sound of light footsteps, several men emerged from the woods. All of them were sturdy, their eyes filled with a bloodthirsty aura, yet their rugged faces strangely sported delicate, painted-on eyebrows, which looked completely out of place with their temperament.

"Are you the one who sent us the intelligence?"

The square-faced man in the lead asked arrogantly.

"That is correct. The Uchiha clan has not long changed clan heads. The current clan head is not of the warmongering faction and advocates for recuperation, so the Uchiha clan has hoarded quite a lot of supplies and wealth over these years."

The figure hidden under a mask emitted an androgynous voice, making it impossible to judge the person's age or identity.

"Cowardly act. Only war is the sole path to development."

The square-faced man said with disdain.

"You fellow, why did you give us the Uchiha clan's defense map?"

The Kaguya clan, who had just arrived and were fighting everywhere in the Land of Water, which faced the Land of Fire across the sea, had suddenly received a piece of intelligence.

It clearly stated the detailed information of the Uchiha clan in the Land of Fire and even thoughtfully included a defense map of the Uchiha clan.

This made the initially skeptical Kaguya clan start to wonder. If they could take down such a fat piece of meat, not only could they strengthen their power, but they could also return to the Land of Fire and gain a firm foothold.

The Land of Water was poor in resources, had inconvenient transportation, and the islanders were very fierce, living in constant warfare for years. Several clans were eyeing the neighboring Land of Fire, often reaching out to test the waters, all hoping that one day they could return to the mainland.

"You don't need to ask about that. Just consider me an avenger."

Hearing the question from the Kaguya clan leader, the figure in the darkness said slowly.

"Sneaky guy, even if you don't say it, I can judge whether the things you gave have any problems."

The leading Kaguya clan member looked at the unidentified guy in front of him with contempt and gestured with his hand. From the crowd behind him, a man who looked out of place with them walked out, all because this man did not have the characteristic painted-on eyebrows that the others had.

"This brat is a half-blood of our clan and the Hyuga. Having awakened the Kekkei Genkai, he can scout the situation several kilometers away. Bringing him this time is to verify whether the intelligence you provided is accurate."

Patting the man on the shoulder, the Kaguya clan leader said coldly.

"If you dare to deceive us, I will have you die with ten thousand bones piercing your heart."

Just as the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Whirlpools and the Senju clan of the inland often intermarried, the Kaguya clan had also had connections with the Hyuga clan for many years, often intermarrying to draw closer.

This plain-looking man who came out was the half-blood of their clan and the Hyuga.

Although he had not awakened their clan's powerful Dead Bone Pulse, he had awakened a mutated Byakugan. His eyes did not have the white pupils like the Hyuga clan, and at a glance, he looked like an ordinary ninja.

"Kaguya Takuya, go and scout whether the Uchiha's defenses ahead are the same as in the intelligence."

The man called by name nodded immediately and rose to sneak into the outskirts of the Uchiha clan.

"Byakugan, activate!"

Halfway there, the man raised his hand and formed a seal. His originally pitch-black pupils turned pure white, but the veins around his temples did not bulge like those of the Hyuga clan.

However, although it was called the Byakugan, his pair of eyes was not a very pure Byakugan; it only had the function of long-distance vision, which might be related to his impure bloodline.

But relying on this ability, he was quite favored within the clan. After all, there were not many ninjas with scouting abilities in this era, especially for a taijutsu-focused clan like the Kaguya, who needed information on enemy positions even more during battle.

Kaguya Takuya kept his mutated Byakugan active and saw the Uchiha outpost camp several miles away from afar. His eyes swept over the people in the camp, secretly noting the number, and then circled to another direction to continue scouting.

On the hillside, the Kaguya clan and the mysterious person were still in a standoff. With Kaguya Takuya's return, the atmosphere between the two sides reached freezing point.

"Takuya, how was the scouting?"

"Captain Sosuke, after my scouting, the defense layout on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan is consistent with the intelligence."

Kaguya Takuya, who had rushed back panting, reported to the square-faced Kaguya Sosuke; maintaining the Byakugan was also very physically draining.

"Hahahaha, Heaven helps me."

Having verified that the intelligence was true, Kaguya Sosuke laughed loudly and looked down at the mysterious person who had been silent all along.

"It seems you really have a deep hatred for the Uchiha clan. But don't worry, after tonight, there will be no more Uchiha in this world."
