Konohagakure.
Standing on top of the roof near the Uchiha Clan, two figures quietly observed all the movements of the Uchiha Clan, without giving away their positions.
These two are not ordinary bystanders, and if Hyuga Kuroto was here, he would have recognized these two as Shinno and Oto Yumie.
Looking at the noisy Uchiha Clan territory in the distance, Oto Yumie licked her lips in anticipation and said with a smile, "It seems that your plan worked, the Uchiha Clan is in a restless state now."
Shinno chuckled softly and said, "Not mine Orochimaru, but theirs, the Akatsuki's. Their plan worked; I am just here to take advantage of them."
Like Orochimaru, Shinno has also never regarded himself as a member of the criminal organization Akatsuki.
There are only two reasons why he joined the Akatsuki.
Firstly, because he didn't have any other choice when he was found by the two members of Akatsuki.
The second reason was the resources he could use by staying in the Akatsuki, and Shinno did use all the resources that Akatsuki can provide him for his research, to obtain the techniques that he needed and to facilitate his future actions.
In Shinno's mind, only the revival of Land of Sky is his supreme pursuit, and only with the power of Land of Sky will he be able to rule the entire Shinobi World.
And he is really grateful to Akatsuki, his plans have started to come to fruition much before then his initial preparation, and Akatsuki is a major reason for that.
So, it's about time he kicks away the Akatsuki and focuses on reviving the Land of Sky.
Oto Yumie or better yet, Orochimaru glanced at his side with a cold expression, although there was no change of emotion on his face, he was a bit unhappy by the way Shinno referred to him.
It goes to show that after devouring the demon Moryo, Shinno's strength has increased a lot, and with the increase of his strength so has his confidence and arrogance. So much so that even when talking to Orochimaru, Shinno no longer refers to him respectfully.
The change in the method of speaking implies that Shinno is no longer afraid of Orochimaru, and he no longer puts himself in an inferior position.
Feeling the traces of surging dark Chakra being emitted from Shinno, Orochimaru was quite depressed.
Once upon a time, whether it was Shinno or Hiruko or many other Shinobi for that matter, were all below him, could be abandoned at any time, not even worth his attention if they were not useful for him.
But now, whether Shinno or Hiruko or even Hyuga Kuroto, have all turned into powerhouses against whom even Orochimaru has to be very careful.
This makes him very depressed, as he is still at a standstill, he has not made much progress since he left Konoha.
Shinno seemed to have noticed Orochimaru's emotional fluctuation, and said with a smile, "Do not worry Orochimaru, you should be able to obtain what you are here for tonight."
Orochimaru said in a slightly regretful tone, "Unfortunately, I have not been able to find her until now."
Shinno shook his head casually, "Why worry? There is still Uchiha Itachi, a very genius shinobi."
Orochimaru sighed and shook his head, "He is too young."
Although Itachi is undoubtedly a talented child, he is still too young, not even in his teenage, therefore, Orochimaru is not sure whether it would be a good idea to use Living Corpse Reincarnation on Itachi.
Shinno thought a little and said, "Uchiha Tsukihi is Uchiha Shinichi's subordinate spy, so I think it's better not to pursue her, because if you do so, then there are chances that the Akatsuki will come after you more strongly than ever."
"Humph… as if I care what Akatsuki wants, my reason for pursuing Uchiha Tsukihi is different." – Orochimaru snorted.
To be honest, Orochimaru is not the kind of narrow-minded individual who would bear hatred because of one or two defeats, to him, his interests matter most. But it is still hard for him to accept being humiliated and led by the nose by a mere sixteen-seventeen-year-old Kunoichi, even if she is an Uchiha!
What irritated Orochimaru, even more, is that after he had passed Uchiha Tsukihi's information to Shimura Danzo, and asked him to collect more intelligence about Uchiha Tsukihi, but Danzo dared to tell him that there is no female Uchiha who matches this description, neither of the same age nor of a different.
'Shimura Danzo has no sincerity to maintain a cooperative relationship!'
Repeatedly annoyed, Orochimaru wanted to get Uchiha Tsukihi's body more and more.
Orochimaru is sure that Uchiha Tsukihi's basic strength surpasses what Tsunade had at the same age, and this is a big thing to say considering just whose granddaughter Senju Tsunade is.
Orochimaru feels that Uchiha Tsukihi is a bit different from the rest of the Uchiha, the same is the case with her Sharingan, which seems a bit different from the rest of the Uchiha.
This is his serpentine intuition, making him feel that the Sharingan in Uchiha Tsukihi's eye sockets is even more attractive than Uchiha Shinichi's who has a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.
'Is it possible that Uchiha Tsukihi's Visual Prowess is superior compared to Uchiha Shinichi's, and if it is, then does that mean there is even a superior Visual Prowess than the Mangekyou Sharingan?' – was his thought.
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku led the assembled Uchiha Shinobi and rushed towards the Hokage Building.
Watching Fugaku lead the most elites Uchiha, Shinno said, "The hurdles are gone, it's time for you to act."
Orochimaru did not speak anything and disappeared from his position. Followed by him, Shinno also disappeared from the roof of the building they were hiding at.
It didn't take long for Orochimaru and Shinno to sneak inside the Uchiha Clan.
And since the elites of the Uchiha Clan were taken away by the Patriarch Fugaku, the two intruders easily manage to make their way to the Patriarch's mansion.
However, as soon as both of them broke inside the courtyard of the Uchiha Patriarch's house, several Shuriken were shot at them.
After dodging a few of the Shuriken, Orochimaru then directly reached out his hand and caught the other Shuriken by his hand.
While Shinno easily avoided all the Shuriken.
The Shurikens were naturally shot by Itachi, who was still at his home. He looked at the two people, and his gaze lingered on Shinno a bit longer, as if realizing something he asked with a calm face, "You are… Shinno?"
Itachi has only once met Shinno which was during the first mission that he took with Kuroto-san and yet he recognizes Shinno perfectly.
Shinno said with a smile, "Uchiha Itachi, I did not expect that you would remember me from that time."
Then Itachi's gaze landed on the Kunoichi next to Shinno, and he was able to sense a cold aura from her. Even the Shuriken she held made her bleed, but it seemed as if she did not care about the wound at all.
Oto Yumie took out the Shuriken without any care for the wound and said while licking the blood on her hand, "Uchiha Itachi, it seems that you have grown quite a lot from the last time I saw you, you were able to sense both of our arrivals so early."
Itachi frowned, 'Last time I saw you? Have I met her before?'
Itachi did not have much time to think when suddenly the sound of running came from the back corridor.
Itachi's eyes widened, he suddenly panicked, "Sasuke, don't come here!"
With only him and Sasuke left in the house, it wasn't hard for anyone to figure out that the person running here was Uchiha Sasuke.
Oto Yumie's eyes narrowed at Itachi's sudden panic, and she immediately rushed towards Itachi.
At the same time, Shinno also took the advantage of Itachi's distraction and rushed towards the direction of the sound of footsteps.
Ding… Ding… Clang…!
Oto Yumie fought with the young Itachi in the courtyard of the house, and the Kunai of the two repeatedly clashed with each other producing a harsh metal clanking sound.
At the back corridor, Sasuke's voice was heard abruptly, "Wh-who are you…!?" – And ended abruptly amidst the muffled sound of fist hitting flesh.
Only a few seconds later, Shinno returned with an Uchiha Sasuke held in his hand.
His younger brother caught by the enemy, Itachi was more agitated, but he understood that he is not allowed to panic, because if he were to panic, then Sasuke would be in more danger, so calming down his restlessness, Itachi asked with a gloomily cold voice as his Sharingan was activated and the three tomoe were rapidly spinning, "What do you two want with us?"
Oto Yumie looked at the pair of scarlet eyes and said while licking her lips, "I want you Uchiha Itachi!"
Itachi was startled, 'Me? But why would a Kunoichi who I have never even met want me?' was his thought, but calming his surprise, Itachi immediately said without any trace of hesitation, "Let Sasuke go, I will come with you!"
Shinno chuckled, "It seems that your love for your brother is even more than we expected, since that is the case, then we can't let your brother go."
Oto Yumie nodded, and immediately took hold of Sasuke from Shinno, and said with a smile while licking her lips that almost made her look like a nymphomaniac, "I am giving you two options Uchiha Itachi. Either you come with me without any resistance, or send Uchiha Tsukihi, your choice, choose fast!"

"I am giving you two options Uchiha Itachi. Either you come with me without any resistance, or send Uchiha Tsukihi, your choice, choose fast!" – said Oto Yumie.
Oto Yumie wanted Itachi to choose the second option, in exchange for Uchiha Sasuke's life.
Hearing the unknown name, Itachi frowned, "Uchiha Tsukihi?"
This is the first time he has heard this name, so Itachi was a bit confused as to who is this Kunoichi referring to, but after a bit of thinking, Itachi also wondered if she is talking about Ho-san?
But this was only momentary speculation, and Itachi was not even sure.
At this time, Uchiha Sasuke who was unconscious, also regained his consciousness, the first person he looked at was Itachi, and realizing the peril he was in, Sasuke cried, "Nii-san, h-help me!"
Even if Itachi had put up a calm face, he was still anxious about Sasuke, and Sasuke's cry for help only made him more restless, he seemed to be in a desperate situation, and the tomoes in his Sharingan were spinning faster and faster.
Oto Yumie smirked at Itachi's helplessness.
She did not stop Sasuke's cries, for her, the more this Uchiha Brat cries for help the more panicked Uchiha Itachi will become, making him prone to accepting any and all conditions to ensure the safety of his 'dearest' Otouto.
And she can feel that this approach is working pretty well as even with the mask of that calm face, there was deep restlessness hidden within.
Shinno folded both of his arms over his chest and calmly watched the situation unfold, he was like a spectator, he did not care about the end result, but he was indeed looking forward to the choice that Uchiha Itachi will make.
It did not take Itachi very long to think, and after weighing out things a little he shook his head and said, "I am sorry, I do not know of any Uchiha Tsukihi, as long as you let go of Sasuke, I am willing to follow you without any resistance."
Oto Yumie was already aware of the importance of Sasuke for Itachi, and taking out a Kunai, she pressed it over Sasuke's neck, and said, "I have changed my mind, now I want both you and Uchiha Tsukihi."
With his eyes fixed on the blade of the Kunai that rested over Sasuke's throat, Itachi's chakra fluctuation started to become erratic and violent.
Oto Yumie's heart shuddered after sensing those chakra fluctuations, but she still had a smile on her face, "Calm down Uchiha Itachi, or would you rather want your dearest Otouto to die here?" – as she said that, Oto Yumie, put some strengthened in her hand, as a result, the blade of her Kunai which touched Sasuke's skin start to cut through it.
Resulting in traces of red blood flowing out of the cut.
Saying that Sasuke was scared would be an understatement, he was literally horrified by what was happening to him, tears rolled down his eyes, he had a pitiful look.
But being the person that he is, Sasuke tried his best to suppress his wailings due to several reasons.
First is that he understood the situation to some extent, if Itachi gave away information about this 'Uchiha Tsukihi' that these two want then that would be a betrayal to the Clan and the village. But if Itachi did not give away that information, then there is a possibility that he will die tonight.
If Itachi were to sacrifice himself for the sake of his Otouto, then Sasuke would not be able to bear that, but if Itachi does not sacrifice himself for the sake of his Otouto, then Itachi would not be able to bear that.
And last, of all, Sasuke understood that Uchiha must never cry, so if someone saw him crying then he would be looked down upon by them.
But he is still a child, and the fear still acted upon him, causing slight drops of tears to roll down his cheek.
Itachi tried his best to pass a reassuring smile, and said softly, "Do not be afraid Sasuke, I will definitely save you!"
Sasuke could not nod because if he did then the blade of Kunai would cut a deeper wound, but his eyes became firm after he heard Itachi's words, and he gritted his teeth to bear the worst because he had faith that Nii-san would definitely save him.
"My… what a touching brotherhood bond we have here!" – mocked Oto Yumie as she licked her lips, and continued, "But Uchiha Itachi are you really sure you can save your Otouto? My patience is limited, and I want your answer now, I want information on Uchiha Tsukihi!"
Itachi stared at Oto Yumie coldly, "I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY UCHIHA TSUKIHI! There is no one in the Uchiha Clan with this name, you can verify this information through all your means, but it won't change anything, if someone does not exist then they do not exist…!"
Oto Yumie's expression darkened.
Shimura Danzo said to Orochimaru that the Uchiha Clan does not have anyone with the name 'Uchiha Tsukihi'' and now that Itachi has also said so, then it's possible that 'Tsukihi' is a pseudonym or a fake name.
Thinking so, Oto Yumie described the physical feature of 'Tsukihi' as well as some of her abilities, and then asked again, "Now answer me!"
'She is really after Ho-san!' - Was Itachi's thought, but even if he understood this, Itachi still shook his head, "No one in the clan matches this description."
And what Itachi said is not a lie… There is really no one within Uchiha Clan in Konoha who matches the description.
This was the moment Oto Yumie' was out of patience, and said coldly, "If you want your otouto back, you will bring Uchiha Tsukihi to me."
After dropping these words, Oto Yumie did not wait for Itachi's reply, and just disappeared from her position along with Sasuke.
Itachi looked at Shinno for a second and seeing that he has no plans to act, Itachi ignored him and jumped forward to pursue the Kunoichi.
When Itachi passed by him, Shinno noticed the merging pattern in Itachi's eyes, at a glance it seemed to form the shape of three spiraling curves around the pupil, and an eerie aura was oozing off of Itachi's body along with palatable chakra fluctuations.
'It seems Orochimaru is going to be in big trouble…' – Such an idea took birth in Shinno's mind.
Shaking his head, Shinno soon let go of this thought, for one, Orochimaru is a Sannin, and you know what that means, and secondly, Shinno doesn't care in the slightest at what happens to Orochimaru, the savvy snake could die for all he cares.
With that out of the way, Shinno closed his eyes and tried to perceive the thing for which he came to Konoha.
After a while, Shinno opened his eyes and turned his head in the direction of the Hyuga Clan.
"Is she there?" – muttered Shinno.
There are only two reasons why he sneaked into Konoha this time, the first is to repay Orochimaru's favor, and the second is to find the daughter of Miko and devour her. This is the most important part.
After becoming the Jinchuriki of Moryo, Shinno has obtained a lot of knowledge, and he has also learned that Miko and Moryo are two halves of the same being. Which made him understand that as long as he swallows the power of both, Moryo and Miko, he would gain the powers of both Miko and Moryo, as a result transcending into a greater being, perhaps even superior to Pain who has the eyes of Rikudo Sennin.
But when he reached the Land of Demon and broke into the Palace of Miko, he found out that Miko had already passed on her powers to her daughter, and sent her away, and also placed some kind of Miko specific Fuinjutsu on her daughter which hindered Shinno's perception of Shion.
Well, after that Miko was killed by them, and with her death, the sealing technique she placed on her daughter also started to disappear. As a result, Shinno was able to perceive the approximate location of Shion.
Looking in the direction in which he perceived Shion's position, Shinno did not delay any longer and hurried over.
He did not tell about his objective to anyone in the Akatsuki, so he wants to swallow Miko's daughter as early as he can without alerting anyone.
