The extermination of my clan is imminent, but I am not an Uchiha

After all, Tohō is a member of Shigeru's father's generation, and his experience in carrying out missions is definitely much greater than Shigeru's.

Therefore, in order to successfully obtain information about the Tsuruta clan, it is best to follow Tohō's advice at this time.

Beside them, Akaya and Akazuki did not speak, but also looked at Tohō.

Before joining Shigeru, their father warned them that they must completely obey the orders of the Young Patriarch of the Hagoromo clan during this mission.

Since the young patriarch of the Hagoromo clan has to consult Tohō, they naturally have to listen to Tohō.

Seeing the young patriarch asking for his opinion, Tohō narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to think in his mind.

After about ten seconds, Tohō opened his eyes. "We'll enter at five in the morning tomorrow!"

"Five o'clock?"

Suddenly, Shigeru looked confused. Did something special happen this time?

Tohō explained, "After the battle during the day, I estimate that the Tsuruta clan has become vigilant, so they will probably be on guard tonight, but tomorrow morning, if nothing happens during the night, they will definitely relax their vigilance. It should be easier for us to sneak in at this time."

After hearing this, Shigeru showed a thoughtful expression.

This seems to make sense.

"Okay, then we'll sneak in early tomorrow morning." Shigeru nodded.

As the saying goes, the older you are, the wiser you are, so in this matter it would be best to follow Tohō's advice.

Time passed slowly, and Tohō hid among the trees, always attentive to the movements around him.

Seeing this, Shigeru leaned against the tree trunk, squinted, and rested.

After all, he is still the Young Patriarch, so he should receive special treatment.

Beside them, Akaya and Akazuki were still maintaining a vigilant state, but around two in the morning, they were leaning against the tree and fell asleep.

At around 4:30, Shigeru opened his eyes, rubbed his cheeks, and regained consciousness.

Looking up, Akaya was already awake at this moment, while Akazuki was still leaning against the tree, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this situation, Shigeru shook his head helplessly.

This girl has a heart that dares to sleep deeply during a mission, it seems she is not really afraid of death.

//Translator: How hypocritical is the protagonist xd//

"Hey! Wake up!"

Shigeru jumped onto the tree he was standing on, reached out and patted his face.

After seeing it so closely, Shigeru finally understood why Akazuki looked familiar.

This girl looks a bit like Yuhi Kurenai.

Maybe because of her young age she still has some baby fat on her face, but it's not hard to see that this girl will definitely be a beauty in the future.

"Hey?"

After Shigeru patted her, Akazuki opened her eyes in a daze, and her pair of ruby-colored pupils looked very beautiful.

However, when Akazuki saw that the person in front of her was a stranger, she instantly became alert.

However, when her mind came back to her senses and she recognized that the boy in front of her was one of her own, she relaxed again and said, "Young Patriarch of the Hagoromo Clan."

"Have you never done a mission before?" Shigeru asked curiously.

Akazuki shook his head, "No, I often go on missions, but I've never gone on missions at night."

"I understand." Shigeru nodded and then said, "Wake up, we'll be going in soon."

Around five o'clock, the four of them gathered together. "After lurking around for a while, we will split up. Yuhi Akazuki and I will be on the same team, and you, young patriarch, will team up with Yuhi Akaya. Before six o'clock, we will meet here again."

Shigeru nodded and the Yuhi siblings beside him also expressed their understanding.

At that moment, Tohō stared at Shigeru, "Young patriarch, don't forget what I told you."

Shigeru was stunned for a moment, what did you say?

But then he remembered.

Before coming, Tohō once said that when faced with danger, you can choose to abandon the Yuhi brothers to buy time to retreat.

Thinking of this, Shigeru couldn't help but remain silent.

Tohō thought that the Young Patriarch understood what he meant, so he took Akazuki and slipped away towards the direction of the Tsuruta clan.

Seeing this situation, Shigeru didn't think much of it and followed Akaya cautiously.

Outside the Tsuruta clan is a wall that is more than three meters high. Through perception, Shigeru can clearly sense that there is a ninja standing guard at intervals within the wall.

As a top elite Jonin, Tohō is naturally familiar with things like intelligence gathering.

He saw him jump towards the wall instantly and then there was no movement.

'What is the situation?'

Seeing that nothing happened after Tohō entered, not even a sound, Shigeru suddenly felt confused.

Using his sensory abilities, the Tsuruta clan ninja's chakra is still there. What the hell happened?

Shigeru, who didn't understand, quickly intervened, followed closely by Akaya.

As soon as he landed, Shigeru saw a Tsuruta ninja standing there breathing steadily, but his eyes were half-closed, and standing next to the Tsuruta ninja was Tohō with a cautious face.

Seeing the three people enter, Tohō pointed at Akazuki, then at himself, and then pointed at Shigeru and Akaya.

With a series of gestures, Tohō quickly arranged the next tasks for the four of them.

Although there were thousands of questions in Shigeru's mind at that moment, such as what method did Tohō use to get rid of the ninja without making any noise, and whether the ninja would suddenly wake up.

But considering the urgency of the matter, Shigeru did not ask any more questions and simply took Akaya west to explore, while Tohō and Akazuki went east.

Along the way, Shigeru and Akaya passed by many houses, but they didn't pay much attention to them, because there was surely no valuable information in those houses.

Following his sensor abilities, Shigeru gradually focused on his target, a ninja whose strength was roughly that of a Jonin.

I just don't know if this ninja is a ninja from the Tsuruta clan or a ninja from the clan that was hiding behind the Tsuruta clan.

'No matter what happens, get rid of him first!'

It's already half past five and there's less than half an hour left for Shigeru, no matter who this guy is, he's still a jounin and should be able to get some information.

Akaya gestured and Shigeru fell from the skylight, then instantly activated a room-sized realm of ice.
