Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

();

(); It was late at night, and the entire Konoha fell into silence.

For most, the day is over, but for some, it is far from over.

His eyes swept across the darkness around him, and Shi Yuan immediately looked back.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, everything was business as usual.

He leaned in the corner with some boredom, his fingers moving unconsciously to pass the time.

Kakashi and Gai were squatting in another position. At this time, he and the surrounding ANBU team were mainly responsible for surveillance.

Judging from the reaction in the afternoon, although Kumogakure was in contact with the spies in the village, he was still within the acceptance range of the village's senior officials.

Therefore, the message conveyed to Shiyuan and the others by the Third Generation was to stay vigilant and not relax.

Another long time passed, and something unusual seemed to be moving in the darkness.

Even if the opponent hides well, he is naturally sensitive to chakra and has mastered the art of chakra perception, so nothing can be hidden.

"Let me see who it is?"

The corners of Shi Yuan's mouth turned up slightly, as if he had discovered something interesting.

The boring surveillance made him feel a little weak, but at this moment, the guy in the darkness had obviously brought him a series of interesting things.

His whole body suddenly became energetic. He straightened his posture and bowed his waist slightly, as if he was about to shoot out at any moment.

Soon, the perceived chakra owners bypassed the tight surveillance circle of the peripheral Anbu and left the large house that Konoha gave them to live in.

Shi Yuan also saw clearly who was leaving.

It was one of the two people he monitored in the afternoon, the chuunin named Nakajo, and one of the guys who Shiyuan felt something was wrong.

There are eight people in the Kumogakure mission, including one jounin and one dark one, and the remaining six are all chuunin.

From his observation, only a few of the eight people might have problems, namely the two jounin and the chuunin who had slipped out of their residence.

Therefore, these three people are the key targets of time source surveillance.

The surrounding ANBU team didn't seem to notice the Kumo ninja's departure. This time happened to be when people were most relaxed and tired, and the other party had a good ninjutsu that could conceal the aura.

Shiyuan did not alert anyone, but quietly came to Kakashi to signal, and then chased after the Kumo ninja who left.

Although this ninja named Nakajo is suspicious, his strength is only at the chunin level, so Shiyuan decided to be alone for the time being to see what the other party is going to do. As for the others, they will continue to stay here to monitor the remaining people. .

Following closely behind the other party, Shi Yuan realized that things were not as simple as he imagined.

That Kumo nin seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding environment, and he looked more like a Konoha ninja than Shigen when he turned around.

If Shi Yuan wasn't fast enough and already familiar with his surroundings, he would even be thrown away after a few turns.

In this way, the cloud ninja wandered around for more than ten minutes and then started walking normally.

Although it was already midnight, there were still many ninjas patrolling Konoha.

However, Shi Yuan noticed that Yun Ninja seemed to be able to sense the patrolling team in advance every time and avoid them in advance.

This also surprised Shi Yuan, so he had to strengthen the concealment of his own chakra fluctuations, increase the distance from the opponent, and use the technique of perception to track.

At first, he didn't believe that a mere chuunin could do what he remembered, but after tracking him for a certain distance, he found that the guy in front of him might not be very strong, but he was definitely an expert at hiding.

Therefore, Shi Yuan had some doubts that this guy came out at this time to do something in his memory.

Continuing to track, half an hour passed quickly, but Shi Yuan's doubts gradually intensified as time went on.

He had already begun to believe that the guy in front of him could kidnap the young lady from Hinata, but the direction the other party was walking in was a little weird.

"Did you go in the wrong direction?!"

Shi Yuan looked at the figure in front of him that was constantly moving with the help of shadows with some confusion, and he had this thought in his heart.

It's not because of anything else, just because the direction the other party is heading ultimately points to the Uchiha family's clan.

The Hyuga family is in the completely opposite direction of the Uchiha family.

If the current chuunin is the guy who kidnapped Miss Hinata in Shiyuan's memory, then he has definitely gone the wrong way, but if a ninja sent on a mission would make such a mistake, Shiyuan would never believe it.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he endured.

Even if the other party really went the wrong way, it was naturally impossible for Shiyuan to jump out and pull the other party's ear and say, 'Hey, the Hyuga family is in that direction, you are going the wrong way.'

When the opponent did not cause substantial damage to Konoha, Shiyuan chose to watch the show. Anyway, he could easily suppress a mere chuunin.

Perhaps because of some changes in the war situation, Kumogakure's plan has also changed?This is possible. The war between Konoha and Kumogakure in this life ended a bit hastily. Tokiyuan himself still bears part of the responsibility, and changes in his memory are naturally allowed.

"The place ahead is where the adults told me. It's really unbelievable to come into contact with that clan in Konoha Village."

Zhongcheng stared at the darkness ahead with wide eyes. There was a dark shadow in the darkness. It was a forest, which was also his destination this time.

Slowing down his speed and entering the woods, he soon came to an open space in the middle.

Here, everything is silent, not even a ghost.

Without exposing his body in a conspicuous position, Zhongcheng found a large tree about the size of a man, and then hid it there with the help of the surrounding vegetation.

Following here, Shi Yuan had some bad thoughts in his mind.

In the past six months, although he has not been exposed to missions and other ninjas every day like Kai, he still knows the news that the village is slightly bigger.

Among them, the ones that most arouse Shiyuan's interest are some rumors about the Uchiha family that are mixed with truth.

For some unknown reason, the senior officials headed by the third generation seemed to have a plan to deprive the Uchiha Guard of their power.

Of course, the word deprivation is not quite appropriate, it should be said to be weakening.

The village plans to set up another department within the village to take on some of the previous responsibilities of the Uchiha Guard.

Correspondingly, the village will also give the Uchiha family some rights to participate in other aspects.

This may sound good, but for Uchiha, the security force whose power is no longer pure is basically meaningless.

Furthermore, the responsibilities promised by the village to other areas will only further weaken the influence of the Uchiha family.

This is naturally not what Uchiha wants.

The Hokage won't give it to me?

Okay, if I can continue to endure it, maybe I will have a chance in the future.

But now the security team doesn't intend to let Uchiha continue to control it, so that's okay, we are no longer human beings!

As a result, the atmosphere in the village has become visibly weirder recently, and most of the reasons are due to the confrontation between the Uchiha family and the village.

One day a month ago, Shiyuan and his former teammate Uchiha Shisui had a brief chat about this matter.

But the latter's attitude, how should I put it, made Shi Yuan feel a little pained.

too soft.

I always feel that the family and the village can find a critical point of mutual acceptance, and even the disputes at this time are only temporary.

Regarding Shisui's thoughts, Shiyuan expressed his thoughts in a vague way at that time, but it seemed difficult for the people inside to see through it.

Having said that, Shiyuan can't interfere too much. He also has his own rules of conduct. Maybe he will take action when Shisui is in trouble in the future, but the premise is that the other party can realize his mistake in time.

As for Uchiha, Tokiyuan felt it was a pity in his previous life.

It is indeed a pity that a big family, a family that founded Konoha in the first place, ended up being exterminated.

This was a huge loss for Konoha, almost weakening the village's combat power by several points.

Every open-eyed ninja in Uchiha can be said to be an elite in the village. They were all wiped out overnight. Some people may feel relieved, but overall it is a huge loss.

Even though there are many people in this family who threaten the village, the village is so big, naturally the Uchiha family is not the only one with crooked people.

On a deeper level, the extreme ideas of many people in the Uchiha family are also closely related to the way the village treats them.

The fear of the Uchiha family has intensified after the Kyuubi Rebellion. The three magatama that caught the Kyuubi's eyes completely made some senior officials unable to stand the Uchiha.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Uchiha family to agree to the village's request to hollow them out, so the two sides are currently feeling somewhat at war with each other.

So Uchiha came into contact with Kumogakure?

When this idea appeared in Shiyuan's heart, even Shiyuan was surprised.

In his memory, Uchiha did not seem to have this incident. The conflicts between the family and the village had always been civil wars, and there was no intervention from outside forces.

"I hope my guess is wrong, and appearing here is just a coincidence."

If Uchiha dares to collude with outside forces, then Tokimoto feels that even the third generation, who has been hesitant on this matter, will completely lean towards a certain side.

Don't underestimate the thoughts that sometimes flash through the minds of some extreme people.

Because they may actually act on impulse!

His eyes stayed on the place where the cloud ninja was hiding. Shi Yuan was thinking a lot, and the expression under the mask was a bit difficult to describe.

More than ten minutes passed. The bright moon in the sky hid behind the dark clouds, and a black shadow came from a distance.

The art of chakra perception was quietly activated, and Shi Yuan was sure that it was not a ninja he was familiar with, but it was definitely not a ninja in a trap.

Judging from the amount of chakra, the people who came were at least chuunin level, maybe even jounin.

And the moment he sensed the other party's chakra, Shi Yuan was sure of what he had just thought.

Although I don't know him, but there are some unusual chakra fluctuations in this vagueness, he is indeed a ninja of the Uchiha family.

The chakra of the ninjas of the Uchiha family is very recognizable among many ninjas, so Shiyuan can determine the identity of the other party in an instant.

At the same time, after confirming the identity of the other party, Shi Yuan also suppressed his own aura to the extreme.

The Uchiha family, especially the ninjas after opening their eyes, are no less sensitive to chakra than ordinary ninjas with perception, so he has to be careful.

The black shadow fell into the open space, looked around and then stood still as if waiting.

"Come out, there's no one around here at this time."

But soon, he looked at the hidden location in Zhongcheng and said.

Shi Yuan's strong eyesight saw Zhongcheng's hiding body move slightly, but he did not appear immediately.

"Why, don't you dare?"

The black shadow snorted coldly and pretended to leave.

So, Midtown moved.

The teleportation technique was activated instantly, and he appeared a few meters away from the black shadow.

"Ah!"

The black shadow immediately stopped turning and faced Zhongcheng.

Shi Yuan continued to hide in the distance, but due to the darkness and the other party's deliberate concealment, he could not see a clear appearance from this position.

"After all, we are in Konoha, so we have to be cautious. I hope you won't be surprised."

Nakagashi looked at the black shadow and said slightly apologetically.

The ninja in front of him was covered in black robes, and the hood on his head hung down to cover most of his face, making it impossible to see his clear and complete face.

But everyone knows it well, at least they are very sure about each other's identities.

"It's safe here."

The shadow's voice was very low, and Shi Yuan could vaguely hear what he said with the help of some wind.

Nakagashi swallowed his saliva and nodded cautiously.

He was just a chuunin, and the other party was obviously much stronger than him, so it was appropriate to maintain a certain amount of respect.

"What do you think of the last proposal?"

The shadow did not continue to dwell on those trivial matters, but lowered his voice and asked.

"That's what I'm here for this time..."

Nakajo looked around and lowered his voice.

In the distance, Shi Yuan could no longer hear the conversation between the two people clearly. He could only see two black figures in the darkness talking softly at close range. Finally, the cloud ninja took out a scroll and handed it to the unknown ninja in Uchiha.

"Before you go back, we will give you an answer as soon as possible."

The black shadow took the scroll and left quickly, and Shi Yuan also heard the other party's last words.

reply?What reply?The Uchiha family and Kumogakure have had in-depth contact in unknown places. Is there any plan next?

Shi Yuan looked seriously at the leaving black shadow and Yun Ren who was still staying there, with a somewhat complicated mood.

If the third-generation old man knew about this, things would definitely get out of control.

After the Uchiha ninja left, Kumo ninja stayed for a few seconds and then left. His mission tonight was completed.

Shi Yuan did not chase Yun Nin back immediately. After some thoughts flashed through his mind, he emerged from the Ninja Seal.

With a bang, a shadow clone appeared next to the main body.

Nodding to each other, the main body immediately chased the Uchiha ninja who left, while the clone continued to follow the Kumo ninja who left.

If the secret contact between Uchiha and Kumogakure is exposed, the village will definitely fall into turmoil again.

At this time, he wanted to know one thing.

Is contacting Kumogakure the choice of most Uchiha people or the secret decision of a small number of people.

If it's the former, then things are serious; but if it's the latter, there's still room for improvement.

The Uchiha ninja who left was very fast, but not as fast as Shigen.

I planned to follow him to see who was standing behind him, but an unexpected person appeared at this moment.

Whoosh!

A strong figure jumped out from the side and blocked the black shadow in front of him.

"Ryouta, where did you come from so late?"

The person blocking the road was Uchiha Shisui, a guy whose appearance at this time made Shiyuan very confused.

"Oh, it's Shisui, I'll take a look around."

Uchiha Ryota is no stranger to Shisui. He can be said to be the number one of the younger generation of the Uchiha family. Some people even suspect that Shisui's strength is much more than what he shows, otherwise the clan leader would not think so highly of him.

"is it?"

After hearing the other party's answer, Shisui looked at Ryota, his eyes full of suspicion.

This reason is naturally unconvincing.

"Hmph! Shisui, although you are respected by the clan leader, you have no right to interfere with our personal behavior. Do I have to report to you every time I go out?"

Ryota made a move to move forward away from Shisui.

With a snap, Shisui put his hand on the other person's shoulder when the other person was parallel to himself.

"The village has not been peaceful recently, so please don't run around at night."

Zhisui turned his head and looked at the other person with a calm expression.

"I know, you are an ANBU now!"

Ryota shook Shisui's hand away and looked over with a strange tone.

"This is not a matter of Anbu or Anbu. Now we..."

"Enough!" Ryota looked at Shisui coldly, "As a ninja of the Uchiha family, but you are so close to the Hokage family, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at us?! Just because you do things for the Hokage ?"

"Have you been an ANBU for less than half a year and you can't help but order your fellow clan members?"

"No...I just..."

Shisui looked at Ryota who was close at hand with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would actually speak like this, and he was speechless for a moment.

"If it's not the case, then get out of the way. I don't need to explain to you what I, Ryota Uchiha, want to do. You don't have the right to point fingers at me. Since you are an ANBU, then you should continue to protect the people you should protect. Don't do it every time They all go to the clan meeting to make their presence felt! I feel a little ashamed of being an Uchiha ninja with you!"

Ryota no longer looked at Shisui, turned around and left directly, while Zhijutsu stopped blocking the way and stood there with some disappointment.

Not far away, Shi Yuan looked at Shisui with strange eyes, half of his body illuminated by the moonlight.

Although they were too far away to hear clearly what the two said, judging from a few simple actions and Shisui's somewhat lonely look at this moment, it was an unpleasant conversation.

So, did Shisui know that someone in the Uchiha clan was in contact with Kumogakure's people, or did he just find out like him?

Looking at the back of the person who was getting away, watching the other person enter the Uchiha clan, Shi Yuan no longer planned to follow him.

"Is it Senior Shiyuan?"

Shi Yuan looked at Zhisui blocking the road, knowing that it would be difficult to continue chasing, so he was about to turn around and leave, but before he turned around, he heard Zhisui's voice reaching his ears.

His heart trembled. He was a little surprised that he was discovered, and his movements were stiff for a moment.

However, there were no ink marks, and Shi Yuan showed up generously.

His face was wearing the monkey mask Kakashi had given him before, and his whole body was shrouded in ANBU's robes.

"Stop the water!"

Shiyuan stopped a few meters away from Shisui and responded loudly.

"Sure enough, it's senior. It seems I was right."

Zhisui looked at Shi Yuan who appeared, the lonely look on his face swept away slightly and then said.

"Senior, did you just see it?"

After a brief silence, Shisui suddenly asked.

His eyes fell on Shi Yuan, and he exuded an inexplicable aura.

The moon hid behind the clouds again, and most of the little light in the dark night disappeared. When Shi Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
