Chapter 105 Intrusion

"Captain, he's been taken to the nursing home. What do we do? Should we go in?"

The Uchiha ninjas arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, but they stopped and did not rush in.

Captain Uchiha recalled the arrogant attitude of the man when he barged into the security headquarters, his feigned innocence during his escape, and his deliberate provocation by openly using Uchiha ninjutsu.

"Hmph, it's just a charitable institution, not some secret service unit. Follow me!"

Hmm, this sentence sounds somewhat familiar. It seems that people underestimate the nursing home without distinguishing between "friend" and "enemy"—in any case, in most people's minds, the nursing home is just a marginal department that is not valued.

"This person comes from a nursing home? Thinks he's safe here and we won't do anything? Is he naive or just stupid?"

"This person's chakra level is a bit beyond expectations, but by leaving the open outdoors and entering the building, he has essentially given up on escaping."

"Well, it's like catching a turtle in a jar."

After a quick assessment, several Uchiha ninjas also stormed into the orphanage, which secretly relieved Yu Xuan, who was waiting inside—he was only worried that they wouldn't come.

Once inside, the Uchiha ninjas finally brought Yugen into their attack range, and someone immediately launched an attack without hesitation.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

A wave of heat rushed towards Yu Xian, whose figure swayed in the shadows of the night before he was hanging upside down from the ceiling.

"Tsk!"

The Uchiha ninja who released the Fire Release technique clicked his tongue softly, not because his ninjutsu missed its target, but because the size and power of the Great Fireball he released were not as great as the one that Yugen had released at the Security Department before.

How could he accept that the Uchiha ninja's signature ninjutsu was inferior to that of an outsider?

"Don't rush, capture him slowly. This guy is nearing his limit; his chakra strength has decreased significantly and is far weaker than at the beginning," someone reminded him.

"He doesn't even know how to allocate chakra; he uses it all on desperate escapes."

Yu Xian didn't care what they were saying. The commotion of the battle would soon wake the people inside the nursing home. To avoid any accidents, he continued to flee deeper into the building.

According to the original owner's memories, Yu Xian knew that there was a secret passage in a room inside the building that led to an underground space. If there was any unspeakable secret, then that underground space was the place to keep the secret.

boom!

Yu Xuan dodged the enemy's punch and used the Body Flicker Technique again to create distance—the narrow indoor space was indeed at a disadvantage for him, after all, there were too many Uchiha ninjas, and he could neither get injured nor had any need to attack them.

"This guy is as agile as a monkey."

"No, I should say you're all too ordinary as Uchiha," Yugen silently retorted in his heart. The other party couldn't keep up with his speed; what else was there to say?

While dodging and fleeing, Yu Xian finally arrived at his target location. He kicked the door open and quickly found the entrance to the secret passage after entering the room.

"How do I open it?"

Instead of searching for the mechanism to open the secret passage, Yu Xian chose the fastest way to unlock it.

He held the Thousand Birds Spear in his palm, and in a few quick movements, he cleaved open the entrance to the secret passage.

At this moment, the Uchiha ninjas had already rushed into the room, but they were a step too late; Yugen had already entered the secret passage first.

After walking downhill for a while, Yu Xian wrinkled his nose. He knew he had come to the right place because he smelled a peculiar rotten odor.

It smelled of decay, mixed with the stench of fresh blood.

Yu Xian recognized the smell. He quickly remembered where he had smelled a similar scent before—it was the same scent that permeated Orochimaru's underground secret laboratory during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

"The original owner's memories and intuitive understanding of the so-called dean are correct —"

After successfully passing through the secret passage and entering the deeper basement, in the dimly lit environment, Yu Xian saw a corpse placed on the autopsy table.

"That's enough." Yu Xian stopped walking.

He stopped directly in front of the exit of the secret passage. In the blink of an eye, an Uchiha ninja rushed in after him. Seeing that Yu Xuan seemed to be in a daze, the ninja immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to capture him alive.

Without hesitation, the man hurled a kunai. A short, sharp whistling sound followed, and the kunai struck Hagen precisely in the ribs. Then—

With a soft "poof," Yu Xian turned into a cloud of smoke.

"Shadow clones? When—"

The Uchiha ninja's face showed a look of astonishment.

"No wonder they're heading down a dead-end road."

Shadow Clone is a high-level ninjutsu technique that creates clones. Although the clones disappear when injured, their ability to create incredibly realistic illusions is truly outstanding.

Even the Byakugan couldn't see through the shadow clones, and the Sharingan's perception was equally ineffective.

The Uchiha ninjas who rushed into the secret room instinctively turned around to give chase, but they stopped halfway through their turns.

"What exactly is going on here?"

"ignition."

They found the light in the room, turned it on, and then their eyes fell on the various instruments and the corpse.

"Human experimentation —"

With just one glance, the Uchiha ninjas understood what was going on.

"Captain, there are bodies that haven't been dealt with yet."

"Regardless of the specifics of what they're doing, if it reaches the point where human bodies are needed, then the demand won't be small—have there been any missing persons cases in Konoha recently?"

"Think about it. If we're conducting experiments here, where would we need people?" — This is an orphanage; there are a lot of orphans here. Losing a few orphans wouldn't make a difference.

"The nursing home is too isolated; it's like two different worlds separated by just one wall."

"Hmph, this is Konoha. What face do the higher-ups have to spout this so-called Will of Fire?"

In a sense, the Uchiha clan is indeed qualified to say such things. On the one hand, the Uchiha clan is being watched from top to bottom, so they certainly don't have the opportunity to conduct similar experiments. On the other hand, external pressure makes the Uchiha clan more united, and they are unlikely to attack each other within the clan.

Yes, they don't act easily, but when they do, it's a big one, like wiping out an entire clan.

The captain remained silent, and after carefully inspecting the area, he finally spoke, "It seems we've been tricked."

"Have you been tricked?"

"Don't you understand yet? That ninja who broke into the security headquarters wasn't there to steal anything; he just wanted to lure us here."

"Does this person want us to expose this?"

After being reminded by their captain, the other ninjas finally realized what was happening.

"The authority to handle similar matters should lie with the Dark Division, shouldn't it? We—"

"No," Captain Uchiha waved his hand to interrupt his subordinate, "civilians have been killed. This is clearly a security incident, and security incidents naturally fall under the jurisdiction of the police department."

Although being used as a pawn feels terrible, the Uchiha clan will not easily give up this opportunity to slap the faces of the Konoha leadership and the Hokage.
