Not long after, a woman with long purple hair and the red Anbu insignia tattooed on her right shoulder walked in.
Seeing the Third Hokage covered in injuries, she was inwardly astonished. Naturally, she knew about the events of the day.
The Uchiha Clan had not only killed Lord Danzō but had even attacked the Hokage. It was truly treasonous.
She asked with concern, "Third Hokage, are you alright?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, feeling that his current image was somewhat shameful. "It is nothing serious."
"Yugao, I called you here because I have a matter to entrust to you."
"You must have heard about the situation in the village. Uchiha Ryōsuke openly murdered Danzō. Although Danzō was guilty, his crimes did not warrant death."
"The current Uchiha Clan has become lawless. If this continues, I fear the entire village will fall into chaos. Only if you investigate and clarify one thing can the village be restored to stability and peace."
Yugao's eyes narrowed. Was the Hokage planning to assign her a mission?
As a member of the Anbu, it was naturally her duty to share the Third Hokage's burdens.
"Third Hokage, please give your orders."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied. It seemed his own Anbu were more reliable; none of the Clan Heads who supported him were dependable.
He spoke slowly. "Uchiha Ryōsuke is not much older than you, yet his strength is terrifyingly powerful. It is precisely because of this man that the Uchiha Clan has become so lawless."
"He must have some special method to become this strong. Therefore, I want you to go undercover by his side and uncover the secret behind his sudden rise in power."
Yugao couldn't help but ask, "Lord Hokage, do you mean for me to act as a spy?"
"Correct."
The Third Hokage nodded.
After receiving confirmation from the Third Hokage, Yugao was momentarily dumbfounded.
She didn't know how to be a spy; she had never undergone such training. She couldn't help but speak up. "Lord Hokage, I fear I am powerless in this regard. I thought you wanted me to find an opportunity to eliminate him."
Anbu work consisted of protection and assassination. She had not received training in espionage.
Moreover, she didn't want to be a female spy, as that often implied sacrificing her own body.
The Third Hokage was instantly a bit disappointed and speechless. With her strength, she wanted to assassinate Uchiha Ryōsuke?
That was a joke; she might even drag him down with her.
"How could I ask you to assassinate him? I want you to become the person closest to him, probe for his secrets, and bring them back quietly."
Uzuki Yugao felt helpless. Didn't that mean she had to seduce him?
To become the person most intimate with him... what if he made physical advances toward her?
She already had someone she liked and didn't want physical contact with other men.
"Third Hokage, I'm afraid I really cannot do this."
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very displeased. Just a moment ago, she was vowing solemnly to help. Now she was reneging and refusing.
He had very few women under his command, and they needed to be beautiful for this to work. If they weren't beautiful, going over there would be useless.
Uzuki Yugao was the one with the highest chance of success, and she was the only candidate.
Right now, this was his only method. He spoke with a bitter tone. "Yugao, you have seen the ferocity of the Uchiha Clan. Perhaps soon they will make a move against me. You are the only one who can help me, help the village maintain a situation of stability and peace."
"Rest assured, only you and I will know about this espionage mission. No one else will know. If no one else knows, it is as if it never happened."
Hearing the Hokage speak like this, Yugao's expression immediately became troubled.
The current Uchiha Clan was indeed too rampant. There was a huge possibility they would attack the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage's words were not false.
She didn't want the Third Hokage to suffer at their hands. Perhaps she would just be taken advantage of a little. And the Third Hokage was right; if no one knew, it was as if it never happened.
"Lord Hokage, I agree to complete this mission. Please keep this secret for me."
A look of gratitude immediately appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
"Don't worry, no one will know about this. I promise you."
Uzuki Yugao walked out of the hospital with complicated feelings.
She truly didn't know how to do this, nor did she want to, but since the Third Hokage had put it that way, she could only try her best to complete it for the peace of the village.
It seemed she would have to go find a few books to read on how women seduced men.
If she wanted to develop a relationship with him, she had to seduce him. Only then would he be willing to reveal the secrets in his heart.
Even if she was taken advantage of slightly, she would just grit her teeth and endure it, and it would pass.
With this plan in mind, she immediately headed to the Konoha Bookstore to buy a few books to study.
On the other side, Ryōsuke, having finished off Danzō, was in a relaxed mood.
He intended to complete a task for the Multi-Child, Multi-Blessing System, as his energy was now fully replenished.
He had already tasted Mabui, so this time he would switch to something fresh.
He brought the other captive, Yugito Nii, to his room.
Seeing him bring her to this place, how could Yugito Nii not know his intentions? She felt nothing but disdain in her heart.
Mabui, her fellow captive, had long since told her about this guy's plan to usurp their bodies.
He actually claimed it was to bestow the Uchiha bloodline.
This hateful guy was just lusting after their bodies. A shameless man.
Mabui had already been possessed by him. After a period of depression, she had resolved to work hard to carry his child, intending to birth another Uchiha Clan for the Cloud Village.
As the bloodline passed down, sooner or later her wish—and her revenge against this guy in front of her—would be fulfilled.
She only had admiration for Mabui. But as for herself, she was not the slightest bit afraid of this guy.
At this moment, Ryōsuke was carefully observing Yugito Nii before him.
Honey-blonde straight hair, with a braid at her waist. He felt this image somewhat ruined her looks.
He took out a kunai from his waist and directly severed her braid.
Revealing her loose, shoulder-length hair instantly made him feel her beauty had gone up a level. This was what a beauty from the Cloud Village should look like.
Her looks had been sealed by that braid.
Throughout this, Yugito Nii remained calm, showing not even the slightest intention of resisting.
This demeanor surprised Uchiha Ryōsuke slightly.
"Do you not intend to resist at all?"
Yugito Nii spoke disdainfully. "Resist?"
"Currently, I cannot resist at all. Even if I wasn't sealed, I couldn't resist your atrocities."
"It's just that I didn't expect you to be interested in a Jinchūriki like me. To have designs on a Jinchūriki that everyone hates... it truly leaves one speechless."
"Has your beastly nature reached this level?"
Even though she was the village's perfect Jinchūriki, 99.9% of the people in the village hated her.
With a Tailed Beast sealed within her body, the people of the village viewed her as the embodiment of the evil Tailed Beast.
