#TL Note : From this point onwards, "Great Master" will now be translated as "Daimyo", I'm sorry for the confusions caused by this change.
A few days later, Shinnosuke finally completed the task and rushed back to the Fire Capital from Konoha.
The first thing he did when he returned was to rush to the residence of His Highness.
"Eldest Prince, I have already delivered the letter."
The Eldest Prince nodded and said with a gentle face,
It's been hard on you.
Go and ask the attendant to inform Nahara and ask him to come to me.
I should also fulfill the promise I made to you.
When Shinnosuke heard this, he was happy in his heart. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Not long later, the Second Prince walked with eight steps and arrived at the residence of the First Prince in high spirits.
Recently, his experiences had been too fantastic. Every day, many people came to his residence to flatter him.
Moreover, his father had treated him very well these past few days. He would listen to everything he said.
Thus, the Second Prince also felt that his father was preparing to give him his Eldest name.
When he thought about it, His Highness the eldest Prince had always shown his intelligence and intelligence.
He had been hypocritical and diligent all day, and many people had been partial to him, allowing him to live under his shadow.
Thus, he had never had a good impression of this older brother who had always suppressed him.
Now that the situation had reversed, he naturally had to properly vent his anger.
The second Prince sat down with his head held high as soon as he entered the room. He did not have a good expression as he said, "Naraku, why are you looking for me?"
When the first Prince heard this, the anger in his heart immediately rose.
When had this good-for-nothing younger brother of his been able to suppress him by a level and actually dared to call his name.
If he really became famous, wouldn't the first thing he would do to rise to the top be to get rid of him?
Even His Highness did not realize that the way he was thinking was very different from before.
Although he was angry in his heart, His Highness knew that he could not show it.
His Highness took a deep breath in his heart and quickly stabilized his emotions.
With a humble smile on his face, he said,
"Nahara, it's like this."
"Shinnosuke has protected me for so long, and I know him well."
"He is an upright and outstanding ninja, very suitable to be the next Hokage."
The Second Prince raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Why are you telling me all this? I don't know him."
As expected, he was a good-for-nothing who didn't know anything.
The First Prince rose slightly and personally brewed tea for the Second Prince as he said,
"I have been stupid since I was young. I am not as smart as you".
"In the future, this position will probably be yours."
"I have a good relationship with Shinnosuke. This time, I want to ask you to write a guarantee."
"I promise to be able to support him in the elections."
"This is my first time begging you as an older brother."
After saying this, he reached out with both hands and pushed the teacup in front of the second Prince.
The second Prince immediately felt particularly comfortable with the first Prince's humble attitude.
Even the hostility he had towards the first Prince had lessened Eldestly. He lifted the teacup and blew on it, saying,
"Alright, isn't it just the position of the village chief? I agree."
After saying that, he took a sip of tea, but his mouth was scalded.
At this time, the Eldest Prince got up and took a pen and paper from the study and placed them in front of the Second Prince.
"Nahara, as a Eldest name in the future, I believe that you will definitely keep your word."
"But establishing a written agreement will allow the new help to be at ease and pledge loyalty to you in the future."
"I presume that you won't care about this trivial matter. "
His Highness the eldest Prince had already grasped his second Highness' temperament.
As long as others flattered him and made him a high hat, then he would climb up along the way.
When the second Prince heard these words, he was so happy in his heart, so he nodded and agreed.
He coughed lightly, adjusted his collar, picked up a pen, and began to write a letter of guarantee.
After he finished writing,
The first Prince discreetly pushed the print mud in front of the second Prince.
The second Prince did not think too much about it and directly pressed a handprint on the letter of guarantee.
The first Prince quickly put away the letter of guarantee as if it was a treasure.
When the second Prince saw the second Prince acting like this, he suddenly felt a little bored.
The opponent he had always thought of, in the end, had suddenly surrendered before they even had a chance to fight.
It was a waste to think that he was a capable person.
He immediately stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. Father is still waiting for me to have dinner with him."
His Highness hurriedly followed behind the second Prince and flattered him humbly, "Nahara, I will send you off."
"En."
After the second Prince left, the first Prince stared straight at the back of the second Prince. The smile on his face became even more stiff.
It was unknown how much disgust he felt.
He hated!
Why was this trash able to be put in an important position, and why was he abandoned here?
When the second Prince left the courtyard, Shinnosuke immediately came to the front of the hall from the shadows, his eyes staring straight at the letter of guarantee in the hands of the Second Prince.
His eyes were full of desire.
The First Prince noticed his expression and smiled. He handed the letter of guarantee to Shinnosuke.
Shinnosuke took the letter of guarantee and immediately held it in his arms like a treasure. He felt a little touched by the First Prince.
"First Prince... Thank you."
The First Prince shook his head with a carefree expression and said, "Nothing. I just fulfilled my promise."
"This guarantee is very important. It's best if you don't bring it with you."
"Put it in a more secretive place in the manor. Don't lose it."
Shinnosuke nodded heavily.
After Shinnosuke left, the eldest Prince locked himself in the study alone.
As he practiced the hand seals on the scroll, he muttered,
"Emperor... an orphan and widow..."
Sure enough, his teacher was right.
In the face of benefits, no one could be trusted.
Time passed day by day.
Uchiha Tunan had taught these orphans how to extract Chakra.
He only taught three techniques and a few simple C -level ninjutsu.
Of course, the aptitude of these orphans was definitely not comparable to the children of Konoha's school.
However, they were more diligent and treasured their hard-won lives.
Each and every one of them could not release Ninjutsu, but they firmly remembered the method of forming hand seals and the theoretical knowledge.
Late at night, Uchiha Tunan was reading a book in the study.
Jin quietly stood beside Uchiha Tunan and poured tea for him. During the entire process, he did not dare to breathe.
Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan's eyes lit up and he stood up abruptly.
The next moment, his figure flashed into the courtyard and he looked in the direction of the famous mansion.
He saw a colorful firework blooming in the sky above the famous mansion.
Has it started...
Immediately, Uchiha Tunan closed his eyes and immediately increased the range of Wind Whisper's perception, unscrupulously enveloping the entire famous mansion.
A moment later, Uchiha Tunan opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly outlined.
He ordered Jin, who ran out of the study,
"Jin, call all the servants in the mansion over."
"Yes, Sir."
Very soon, all the servants in the manor gathered together, waiting for Uchiha Tunan to give the order.
They saw Uchiha Tunan sitting on a chair in the study, sheathing his short blade and placing it on the table on the right. He said coldly,
"You have helped me with many things during this period of time."
But through the secret channels, I discovered that someone had revealed my information.
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tunan opened his Sharingan to capture the facial expressions of these attendants.
These attendants all knelt down one after another, and their faces were full of fear.
"Your Excellency is wise, I am loyal to Your Excellency, and I absolutely did not reveal this matter."
"That's right, my lord. If I tell anyone, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
.....
After working in the manor for so long, they knew Uchiha Tunan's character.
A traitor would die a terrible death.
For a time, these attendants tried their best to prove their innocence, fearing that they would lose their lives.
Uchiha Tunan looked at their expressions. Other than cherishing their lives, there was nothing else suspicious about them.
Thus, his expression instantly turned gentle and he said apologetically,
"It seems like it wasn't you guys. I must have made a mistake."
When everyone heard this, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"It's good that you didn't say anything. This way, I can be at ease and shut up."
With that, Uchiha Tunan grabbed onto the handle of his short blade and disappeared.
"Puff ---"
...
In a flash, Uchiha Tunan had already returned to his seat and sat down.
And the servants all fell to the ground.
Uchiha Tunan picked up the white cloth on the table and gently wiped the blood on the short blade of chakra.
A smile appeared on his face, but there was no emotion in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows.
"It's time to close the net."
In the next moment, he split up a shadow clone to deal with the aftermath.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Tunan's main body squirmed quickly and changed back to Abe Akira's appearance.

At this time, in the study room of the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince was crying while holding his father's corpse, and there were two Root Ninjas standing beside him.
And Shinnosuke was forced to the corner of the room by the other Twelve guardian, ready to fight.
Not long later, a group of ministers heard the news and rushed over. Looking at the Daimyo whose breath had been cut off, each and every one of them had an extremely grave expression.
One by one, they asked the people in the room,
"Who harmed the Lord?"
The eleven guardian all looked at Shinnosuke, their eyes full of vigilance.
When the ministers saw this scene, they looked at each other and felt shocked.
Then, it was replaced by resentment.
"Shinnosuke, do you know what you are doing?"
"Is this your idea or Konoha's?" The Finance Minister immediately asked.
Shinnosuke looked serious and said,
"I didn't kill him."
"I was in the hall just now, and His Highness Eldest Prince and His Highness Daimyo were in the study."
"I rushed in after sensing the chakra fluctuation, and found that His Highness Eldest Prince had already killed His Highness Daimyo with earth escape - earth thorn."
"I was just about to catch His Highness Eldest Prince when these two... Anbus came in."
When everyone heard Shinnosuke's explanation, they were slightly stunned. Then, they turned their gazes to the Eldest Prince, who was crying in grief.
They saw that the Eldest Prince's lips were pale, and his face was numb as he slowly raised his head to look at Shinnosuke.
"Hehe..."
"Was Nahara already so impatient?"
"What benefits did he give you to take such a big risk to frame me?"
Shinnosuke frowned and said in a low voice,
"Your Highness, your methods are too clumsy."
"I have no reason to kill Your Highness."
"Instead, it's you. Because His Highness wants to pass the position to His Highness Second Prince, you have a grudge against His Highness."
Eldest Prince's eyes were full of grief. He hugged the corpse tightly and tried to suppress his emotions. He said,
"How could I bear to kill my biological father?"
The minister narrowed his eyes and asked Shinnosuke, "Why are you in the room?"
Shinnosuke said calmly, "It was His Highness the Eldest Prince who told me to wait in the room and protect him."
When the minister heard this, he immediately said angrily, "Don't you think that there are too many loopholes in your excuse? There are four guardian guarding outside, so there is no need for you to come in."
Then he asked the guard who guarded the Daimyo at night, "What did the four of you see when you came in?"
"When we came in, we only saw His Highness the Eldest Prince carrying the body of His Highness the Daimyo."
"Shinnosuke was about to attack the Daimyo, but he was stopped by the anbu Group members who jumped in from the window."
"The two of them were sent by Danzo-san to protect me." The Eldest Prince casually explained.
When the Ministrr heard this, his eyebrows wrinkled into a frown.
This matter was even more complicated. Perhaps The Daimyo was just a sacrifice for the power struggle in the village.
At this moment, the second Prince, escorted by a group of attendants, arrived at the study.
"Father, what's wrong? Is father alright?"
When the first Prince heard this voice, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
However, as soon as the second Prince stepped into the study, he saw the Daimyo pierced by the earth thorn and the blood flowing all over the room.
His eyelids immediately twitched, and he fainted from fright.
Fortunately, the attendants quickly hugged him.
When the ministers saw the second Prince like this, they couldn't help but frown. They hurriedly ordered, "Take the second Prince back to rest."
The identities of the two people present were extremely special. One was the son of the Hokage, and the other was the son of the Daimyo.
In a situation where there was no solid evidence, even arrest them was not possible.
Things were in a deadlock for a moment.
The ministers were also helpless.
The supervising official said in a low voice,
"What method do you have to prove your innocence?"
The eldest Prince shook his head and said,
"Everything happened so suddenly that I have no way to prove my innocence."
"Previously, I thought that Shinnosuke colluded with Nahara, but looking at Nahara's sad appearance, it might be because of other reasons."
"However, I think we can go to Shinnosuke's mansion to search and see if there are any clues."
One of the guardian immediately said coldly, "I will investigate."
Before the truth is revealed, no one is allowed to leave. Fire Capital is immediately under martial law.
At this time, the Twelve Guardian Knights, apart from Shinnosuke, basically all of them had spent a lot of resources to personally nurture them.
They were loyal to The Daimyo from the moment they were born, and many ministers trusted them.
Unlike the later days when Asuma became a guardian, the splitting of guardian became unstable and radical.
One side was loyal to the Eldest Prince and the other was loyal to the Hokage.
A moment later, the guardian returned to the study with a gloomy face, holding a piece of paper tightly in her hand.
It was the letter of guarantee that his second Highness had written to Shinnosuke.
"I found this in the secret compartment in his bedroom."
When Shinnosuke saw this, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He thought to himself : "Damn, I was tricked."
The guardian handed over the letter of guarantee to the others to look through one by one. Sure enough, the way everyone looked at Shinnosuke changed.
When the supervising official saw this, his eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at Shinnosuke.
"How do you explain this? You are the guardian of His Highness. Why should His Highness give you a guarantee?"
"When did your relationship with the second Prince become so good? What kind of deal did you make?"
At this moment, Shinnosuke was already sweating profusely. The anger in his heart gradually rose. He gnashed his teeth at the Eldest Prince and said, "You did it on purpose from the beginning..."
The Eldest Prince lowered his head and did not look at Shinnosuke. He kept gasping for breath and said angrily,
"Nahara... Why did you do this..."
Shinnosuke knew that he could not argue, but he thought that his identity was special.
Even if he was slandered now, he could wait for Hiruzen Sarutobi to send someone to help him find out the truth.
Presumably, this little inferior method of the Eldest Prince would definitely surface under the investigation of the Anbu.
"I know you don't believe me. It doesn't matter. I won't leave the Fire Capital."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Eldest Prince raised his head with a sneer and said,
"Alright, you're still reluctant to admit it."
"Then I suggest asking a ninja who can read memories to check Shinnosuke's memory."
"But this ninja can't be from Konoha."
The ministers looked at each other.
Searching the memory will cause a major loss to the mind.
Shinnosuke's identity was too special. For the ministers who had always been used to weighing the pros and cons, no one dared to agree.
But for the famous loyal, the other twelve guardians, this was a very good suggestion.
When a guardian said,
"Sure."
"It just so happens that I have learned a bit of the Ninjutsu of searching memories. Let me do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shinnosuke's hands turned into afterimages, and he quickly made a series of hand seals.
He plunged into the ground, broke through the ground, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Since things had come to this, Shinnosuke naturally could not stay and let others search his memories.
Not to mention the serious side effects of the investigation, just the information he knew about Hiruzen Sarutobi could be said to be top secret.
How could he let others know?
In the eyes of the crowd, he fled like this because he didn't dare to have his memories investigated.
"Catch him."
The twelve guardians tacitly left five people behind to guard the study.
The other disappeared in unison and chased after Shinnosuke.
