Swish swish!

Several figures flashed by in the lush forest.

A moment later, at the edge of the dense forest, a figure flashed and stood on top of a big tree.

Immediately afterwards, six more figures flashed and appeared nearby.

"Lord Yuan, the city ahead is Qianye City, where we agreed to meet Taiyi Daohuo and the others."

A young Uchiha standing next to Uchiha Yuan spoke.

Qianye City, the second largest city in the Fire Nation, is located in the north of the Fire Nation.

This group of seven people was the task force led by Uchiha Yuan, responsible for searching for the traces of the Illuminati.

At this time, another Uchiha said, "Master Yuan, we have explored many underground bounty stations along the way, and there is no intelligence information about the Illuminati.

I suspect the Illuminati's base may not even be in the Fire Nation."

When searching for intelligence in the ninja world, the underground bounty house is definitely a must-go place; it is not only a black market for issuing various bounties, but also an exchange center for ninja world intelligence.

Uchiha Yuan and his group have been away from Konoha for several months. Along the way, they have been gathering information about the Illuminati at several underground bounty agencies, but they have not found any clues.

Uchiha Yuan was naturally not surprised at this result at all, after all, he represented the Illuminati.

However, the other Uchiha were beginning to feel impatient with this clueless and needle-in-a-haystack intelligence search.

"As for the mission of finding traces of the Illuminati, don't worry about it. Normally, gathering intelligence from outside is the responsibility of the intelligence squad, but the village has asked our security team to participate as well.

Do you know why? "

Uchiha Yuan looked at Qianye Castle in front of him, and a calm voice sounded.

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, the other Uchiha all looked puzzled.

Then, an Uchiha spoke up, "Master Yuan, is there any other reason for this mission we are carrying out?"

"That's right, because the village is now under tremendous pressure from our Uchiha clan; especially now that Danzo has been severely injured by the Flame Demon, he no longer has the power to control us Uchiha clan.

So the village gave the task of finding the Illuminati to the security team and sent us out of the village to relieve the pressure on the village from us Uchiha."

Uchiha Yuan turned around and looked at everyone and said.

In addition to these, Uchiha Yuan had another reason that he did not mention, which was that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want him to have a deeper contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Hahaha."

"So that's how it is. The village is afraid of us Uchiha."

After hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, all the Uchiha people showed smug smiles after their initial surprise.

"Master Yuan, if we still can't find any trace of the Illuminati, will the village blame our family for this?"

Amidst the arrogant and triumphant laughter of the crowd, an Uchiha said worriedly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter stopped abruptly and the Uchiha people frowned.

"I believe that besides us, the ninjas from the intelligence team are also looking for traces of the Illuminati at this moment.

We can't find any clues, can the ninjas from the intelligence team find them?"

Uchiha Yuan said calmly.

Hearing this, the other Uchiha nodded.

At the same time, the frustration caused by not being able to find any clues about the Illuminati for a long time also disappeared at this moment.

Thousand Nights City.

Following the marks found on the street corner, Uchiha Yuan and his group came to a remote mansion.

This is the base set up by the Uchiha people in Qianye City.

"Lord Yuan."

In the front yard of the mansion, when Uchiha Yuan and others flew down, many figures suddenly appeared from the mansion and saluted Uchiha Yuan together.

Uchiha Yuan slowly glanced around and then walked straight towards the main hall of the mansion.

Seeing this, all the Uchiha followed closely behind.

In the main hall of the mansion, Uchiha Yuan sat cross-legged, looked around at everyone and said, "Have you found any clues about the Illuminati?"

The Uchiha sat on either side of the main hall, divided into six groups according to their mission teams.

When leaving the village, Uchiha Yuan divided the Uchiha people on the mission into six teams, and headed in six directions to search for traces of the Illuminati.

Faced with Uchiha Yuan's question, the Uchiha leaders fell silent.

After a while, Uchiha Inahiro, who was sitting cross-legged in the first seat below Uchiha Yuan's left, broke the silence and said, "Yuan, I'm sorry, we haven't found any trace of the Illuminati. It seems that the ninja world is completely unaware of the existence of this organization."

"Yes, I doubt whether this organization really exists. It's hard to believe that an organization has left no trace in the ninja world."

Uchiha Taichi frowned.

"So do we."

The other Uchiha leaders also spoke up.

"It turns out that no one has found any clues about the Illuminati."

Uchiha Yuan smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Uchiha Taichi's expression froze, and he said in surprise: "Yuan, you don't seem surprised by this result!"

"I just don't care if I find the Illuminati."

Uchiha Yuan looked at Uchiha Shinichi and smiled.

"why?"

Uchiha Shinichi frowned and asked.

"Captain Shinichi, it's actually like this..."

After a member of Uchiha Yuan's team shared his previous analysis of the village's arrangement of a security team to leave the village to search for traces of the Illuminati, the main hall suddenly fell into silence.

"Yuan, what you said does make some sense."

Uchiha Inahime nodded and then spoke.

Uchiha Shinichi looked at Uchiha Furu silently and sighed in his heart: Eiji, Uchiha Furu's growth has far exceeded your imagination.

Among everyone present, Uchiha Shinichi had the most complicated feelings towards Uchiha Yuan.

In his memory, Uchiha Yuan was still a brat who wanted to make a bet with his stupid brother Eiji to get the scroll of ninjutsu learning.

But unknowingly, Uchiha Yuan has grown into an important and powerful person in the family, especially his battle with the Flame Demon that night. Uchiha Shinichi, who witnessed the battle with his own eyes, had only respect in his heart.

"Yuan, what should we do next?"

Then, Uchiha Shinichi asked.

"We will naturally continue searching for the Illuminati, but don't worry about not finding any clues.

Even if nothing comes of it in the end and the village turns against our family, we don't have to care.

We previously brought so much pressure to the village, yet the village's criticisms were treated as nothing more than the whining of a defeated dog."

Uchiha Yuan said the last sentence with a contemptuous smile.

"Hahaha, Master Yuan is right."

Hearing this, all the Uchiha laughed out loud, revealing happy and proud smiles.

[That's right, Konoha is a loser in front of Uchiha.]

Late at night, everything is silent.

Uchiha Yuan walked out of the room, and then his figure flashed and appeared on the roof.

He formed a seal with one hand, and a shadow clone suddenly appeared from behind him.

"I'll leave this to you from now on."

Uchiha Yuan said while looking at his shadow clone.

"rest assured."

The shadow clone said with a smile.

Then, Uchiha Yuan jumped out like an arrow and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

He was going to meet Orochimaru.

Long before leaving the village, Orochimaru sent a letter to Uchiha Yuan through the summoning snake.

Kaguya-kunmaro showed symptoms of a bloodline disease, and Orochimaru sent a message to Uchiha Azuchi asking for his blood as a treatment.

In response to this request, Uchiha Yuan wrote back to refuse. He didn't dare to let Orochimaru get his blood now. Who knew what Orochimaru would do with his blood.

However, he stated in his reply that he would personally go to Orochimaru's base.

In response, Orochimaru welcomed it and then sent him the location of Orochimaru's current base.
