Chapter 197: Surrounding the Sarutobi Clan Compound
That night, several small teams from the Uchiha clan quietly moved through the village's residential areas.
A leaflet was slipped under the door of every household, the operation carried out with remarkable speed. The flyers disappeared quickly from the teams' hands, and when they regrouped, their packages were already empty.
"Did you all get there?"
In the moonlight, the face of the Uchiha who spoke became visible. It was Midori, personally assigned to lead the operation by Fugaku.
"Lord Midori, we've covered everything," the group confirmed.
"Good, let's go back," Midori said, leading them calmly back to the clan's territory as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Fugaku was already asleep, preparing himself for what would be a pivotal day tomorrow. A slight smile lingered on his lips in his slumber.
"Uncle, I think I'm about to fulfill your expectations," he murmured softly in his dreams.
...
The first rays of morning light illuminated the leaves of Konoha as the villagers opened their doors to begin a new day.
As doors swung open, flyers fell from the cracks, landing at the feet of curious villagers. Picking them up and reading the contents, gasps of shock filled the air.
