Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 74: The event is triggered, the plan succeeds, and the Cloud Hidden Envoy is killed!

"As expected of you, Shingetsu-kun! Even with two elite Jonin from Kumogakure joining forces, they were powerless against you." Seeing Shingetsu defeat the two, Orochimaru clapped his hands, his golden vertical pupils flashing with excitement and admiration.

Shen Yue calmed his slightly fluctuating chakra aura caused by activating "Sage's Talent: Welcoming Thousand Hands Kill," and said calmly, "Defeating those two is nothing. The truly noteworthy powerhouses of Kumogakure are their leader—the Fourth Raikage, A, and the perfect Jinchuriki—the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee. There's also the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, and a few other top-tier fighters like Darui, who has mastered the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai. Apart from them, everyone else is insignificant."

Unbeknownst to her, Shenyue's strength was also progressing towards the top.

Orochimaru, hearing Kamizuki rattle off the core strength of Kumogakure with such familiarity, even knowing insider information like "perfect Jinchuriki" and "Storm Release," couldn't help but lick his lips with his long, thin tongue, his admiration deepening: "Heh heh heh... I didn't expect Kamizuki-kun to not only possess astonishing strength, but also such far-sighted insight and intelligence, already focusing on Kage-level powerhouses and Jinchuriki. Teaming up with you seems to have been a wise choice."

"I'm looking forward to our future plans!"

"Cooperation requires sincerity and strength." Shen Yue's gaze swept over the unconscious Chloe on the ground and the seriously injured and unconscious Troy, and she already had a plan in mind.

He pointed at Troy and said to Orochimaru, "This Magnet Release ninja, Troy, is yours to handle. His Magnet Release bloodline limit is very valuable for research; it might help you refine some of your experiments."

He knew that Orochimaru had a morbid obsession and desire to research rare bloodline limits and special abilities.

Troy was a gift he gave to Orochimaru.

As for Chloe...

Shingetsu walked to his side, squatted down, and stared intently into Chloe's eyes with his Sharingan.

"Succeed to the Sharingan's genjutsu!"

His pupils shifted slightly, and his powerful gaze invaded Chloe's mind, setting hints and manipulating her deep consciousness.

A moment later, Shenyue stood up.

"Give him some treatment, don't let him look too bad, but don't let him regain too much of his fighting power either," Shingetsu instructed Orochimaru.

He wanted to keep Chloe in a state of limited mobility, but also in a manageable state of weakness.

"No problem!" Orochimaru understood, took out a few specially made pills from his sleeve, pried open Chloe's mouth and put them in, and then used a simple medical ninjutsu to stabilize Chloe's injuries, turning him from a deep coma into a trance-like state where he could be controlled by genjutsu.

Under the illusionary manipulation of the God Moon, Chloe stood up stiffly like a puppet, her eyes vacant.

Shen Yue, controlling Chloe, issued the order in an icy voice: "Now, head to the Hyuga clan. Target: Hinata Hyuga. Kidnap her. Make a big commotion."

"Yes!" The controlled Chloe gave a muffled reply, then turned around and, as if pulled by invisible threads, staggered toward the Hyuga clan's territory.

"And us!" Shingetsu looked at Orochimaru: "We'll just follow behind him and watch the show. And incidentally, make sure the plan goes smoothly."

"Heh heh, this is interesting. I really look forward to seeing how the Third Hokage and the others will react in the end." Orochimaru was also very excited.

The two of them blended into the night like ghosts, hanging far behind Chloe, maintaining a distance that would not be easily detected.

In the quiet of the night, at the Hyuga clan's territory.

Hinata was fast asleep in her room. The fright she had experienced during the signing ceremony that day and the rescue by her brother, Shingetsu, left a blush of relief on her face.

However, in the quiet of the night, the window was suddenly smashed open by a brute force!

"Who?!" Hinata was startled awake, her white eyes opening in panic in the darkness. She saw a dark-skinned, fierce-looking figure pounce in like a hungry wolf!

"Ugh!" Hinata wanted to scream, but fear prevented her from making a loud sound.

Chloe acted roughly, grabbing her slender wrist and trying to drag her off the bed!

Just then!

"stop!"

A cold shout rang out in the room like a thunderclap!

A figure moved with lightning speed, appearing instantly in front of Hinata—it was Kamizuki!

He seemed to have tracked her down perfectly, landing a precise punch on Chloe's chest while she was being controlled!

"Bang!" Chloe groaned, staggered back several steps from the punch, released Hinata, and crashed into the wall, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Kamizuki...brother!" Hinata was still in shock. When she saw Kamuizuki appear, she grasped at a straw as if she had a lifeline. Her little face was full of lingering fear.

"Hinata, hide behind me!" Shingetsu shielded Hinata, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Chloe, who seemed about to pounce on him again.

Just then, a massive, cold, and furious chakra instantly enveloped the entire room!

Hiashi Hyuga!

He appeared at the doorway without anyone noticing, his white eyes bulging with veins as he activated his Byakugan, allowing him to see everything clearly inside the room—his daughter had almost been kidnapped, the Cloud Village envoy Chloe was showing her true colors, and Uchiha Shingetsu was standing in front of his daughter!

Chloe seemed enraged by Hiashi Hyuga's sudden appearance. With a low growl and a flicker of lightning around her, she fearlessly charged towards Hinata once more.

"You're asking for death!" Hiashi Hyuga roared, his killing intent boiling over!

He already deeply resented the Cloud Village's coveting of the Byakugan, and now, seeing the Cloud Village envoy dare to break into the Hyuga clan's territory at night with the intention of kidnapping his daughter, both old and new grudges erupted instantly!

"Gentle Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hiashi Hyuga appeared in front of Chloe as if by teleportation, his palms turning into a blur of afterimages, instantly blocking all of Chloe's escape routes!

The palm strike, imbued with pure chakra and the power to destroy meridians, poured down on Chloe like a torrential rain!

Chloe only had time to make a symbolic block before being struck in a vital spot by this merciless attack.

"Pfft!" Chloe coughed up a mouthful of blood, the lightning on her body completely extinguished, and she was sent flying like a broken sack, crashing heavily to the ground. She twitched a couple of times and then lay still.

Hiashi Hyuga swiftly and cleanly killed Chloe, without any hesitation or delay.

Without even glancing at the corpse on the ground, he immediately turned to his daughter and carefully checked her over: "Hinata, are you alright?"

"Father, I'm alright, all thanks to Brother Shingetsu!" Hinata said softly, still shaken.

Hiashi Hyuga then looked at Shingetsu, his eyes filled with gratitude and lingering fear: "Shingetsu-kun, we owe you so much again! Those scum from Kumogakure, they really haven't given up their evil intentions!"

Shen Yue nodded solemnly: "I sensed something amiss with this person and tracked him down. I never expected him to dare to attack Hinata directly. Chief Hiashi, Kumogakure will not let this go."
