Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 19 Shenyue's guess, could it be Bai Jue? Go see Princess Liuli!

In the courtyard where Shenyue, Qingshui, and Tieshu reside.

Qingshui and Tieshu had been busy all night and were already exhausted.

After tidying up the bedding, I lay down and was about to drift off to sleep.

Shen Yue stood at the door with her arms crossed, looking up at the moon, lost in thought.

Seeing Shen Yue's actions, Qing Shui wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, "Captain, go and rest. This time, Hei Tan was caught red-handed, and the real culprit has been brought to justice. Our mission is a complete success. Perhaps in addition to the mission rewards, the Daimyo will also reward us!"

Iron Tree, standing beside him, nodded repeatedly, a relieved expression on his face: "Yes, Captain, thanks to you this time, we not only caught the traitor Kurotan, but also recovered some of the stolen money. The Daimyo should be satisfied now. Konoha's funds are saved, and our Uchiha's situation will be much better."

However, Shenyue remained silent after hearing their words, continuing to quietly admire the moon.

The cool moonlight shone on his handsome profile, making his dark eyes appear exceptionally deep.

"Do you two really think that Kurotan is the thief who stole from the vault three times without leaving a trace?" His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly froze the smile on Aozuki's face.

"Isn't that right?" Qing Shui and Tie Shu exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered.

"Caught red-handed, with so much money of dubious origin found in his room—Da Ming witnessed it all!"

Hearing their words, Shenyue gently shook her head, her gaze fixed on the distance, as if she could see through the darkness.

"Everything has gone too smoothly," he said slowly. "It's as if someone has already laid out the answer in front of us, just waiting for us to find the target, the charcoal."

Upon hearing Shen Yue's words, the smiles on Qing Shui and Tie Shu's faces vanished completely, replaced by a vague unease.

"Captain, you mean we're being led by the nose and used as tools? If that's the case, then why did you kill Blackie?"

"Blackie is hostile towards us. Whether he's the real mastermind or not, he must die. All danger must be nipped in the bud!"

"Besides, without him, how could I have found out some things!"

"Hiss!" Tie Shu and Qing Shui couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

"Does the captain mean that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes? Who has the ability to arrange all of this from within the daimyo's residence?"

Shen Yue turned her head, looked at the two of them, and pointed outside.

"Didn't you already say his name?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Shui and Tie Shu were wide awake and blurted out, "It's Da Ming? But... but that's his own treasury! Why go through all this trouble and go through all this trouble? Why not just deal with Hei Tan directly?"

"What if he isn't the real Daimyo of the Land of Fire at all?" As Shingetsu spoke, his eyes turned blood red.

"What?!" Qing Shui and Tie Shu were startled by Shen Yue's words.

This speculation was so shocking that it sent chills down their spines.

The name of a great nation is of such high status, and his residence is heavily guarded. How could he be easily replaced?

"This...this can't be, Captain!" Iron Tree whispered. "Didn't Di Lu and the others notice?"

"He might be able to detect ordinary ninjutsu, but he might not be able to detect some very powerful ninjutsu!" Shingetsu said.

Suddenly, I remembered some of the more powerful disguise techniques in the Naruto world.

Orochimaru's Face-Changing Technique.

There are also White Zetsu's ninjutsu.

"Orochimaru is too engrossed in scientific research to do this, so it must be White Zetsu. If there are White Zetsu, then there must be Obito. Oh my god, could I have guessed right?" Shingetsu felt a jolt of excitement.

He was startled by his own guess.

Qing Shui and Tie Shu inside the house were naturally unaware of Shen Yue's final speculation.

They felt their scalp tingle just from hearing what was said before.

Before setting off, they thought it was just a simple theft case, after all, it was only a B-level mission.

At most, it would involve internal corruption and treason, but now even the identity of the daimyo has become a mystery.

If things are as Shen Yue said...

That's a big deal.

Moreover, it was large enough to shake the entire Land of Fire.

"So what do we do next?" Qing Shui and Tie Shu hurriedly climbed out of bed and got dressed.

"This matter is far too serious; shouldn't we report it to the village immediately?"

Shen Yue shook her head: "It's too late, and without solid evidence, reporting to the village will only alert them and might even put us in danger."

"Moreover, report to the village that no matter what happens afterward, the money in the vault will have nothing to do with us!" As she said this, Shingetsu's eyes began to gleam.

"Captain, what do you mean by that? The money in the vault has nothing to do with us. Oh wait, what time is it? Are you still eyeing that money?" Qing Shui and Tie Shu were both shocked by Shen Yue's thought process.

What time is it?

Shen Yue's mind is still full of money.

"Nonsense, how can we make the Uchiha great again without money?"

"This mission, we must not only win, but win big, win decisively, win unbeatably!"

"The mission must be completed, and I want all the money!"

As Shen Yue spoke, she stretched her wrists and energetically instructed the two of them, "You two stay here, be alert, and pay attention to your surroundings."

Having said that, he moved with lightning speed, like a shadow blending into the night, silently leaping onto the roof and disappearing into the shadows of the surrounding buildings in a few leaps.

Inside the daimyo's residence.

Princess Liuli's bedroom.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, this place was dark and silent.

The magnificent palace had its doors and windows tightly shut, with not a single light shining through, as if it were truly the residence of a seriously ill person recuperating.

There were no lights inside the hall; only the dim moonlight shone through the thick paper windows, bringing a faint glow.

Suddenly, a window on the inside of the sleeping quarters, which was not locked from the outside, was silently pushed open a crack.

Shen Yue moved with the agility of a ghost, silently slipping in.

He activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, a crimson light flickering faintly in the darkness, and entered battle mode.

One can vaguely see a shapely body rising and falling on the tatami mat.

Shenyue stealthily crept past.

Suddenly, the person on the bed seemed to sense something and instantly became alert.

"Who goes there?" a soft voice asked.

A blanket was thrown directly at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue cleaved the blanket in two with a single slash, her speed surging to its limit. Before her opponent could fully react, her gleaming ninja sword was already at his neck.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower!" Shen Yue then unleashed a mini version of Phoenix Flower, lighting a candle.

The faint candlelight dispelled the darkness, revealing the true faces of the two people.

"It really was you!"

"How could it be you?"

Shenyue and Princess Liuli stared at each other, their eyes wide, and finally confirmed each other's identities.

"You're a Konoha ninja, how dare you trespass into my room? Aren't you afraid I'll tell my father!" Ruri threatened in a low voice after seeing Shingetsu's appearance clearly.

"Come on, as her daughter, you know best who that big name is now." Shen Yue was completely unfazed by her threat.
