"Sir, I am Uzuki Yugao. Please take care of me in the future."

In that moment, Uzuki Yugao appeared both excited and uncertain, her innocent and youthful face reflecting a mix of emotions. She seemed to be a newly graduated ninja, inexperienced and with a fresh appearance.

Uchiha Yoru maintained a calm expression on his face upon seeing her, but inside, his heart was stirred with waves of emotion.

Uzuki Yugao! That's why she looked so familiar. With her long purple hair and shy demeanor, Uchiha Yoru silently contemplated; something seemed amiss.

"Yoru-niisan, Uzuki Yugao comes from a civilian family. She graduated with top marks in her academic studies last year and is meticulous enough to assist the Police Department."

Uchiha Shisui, with a relaxed smile, explained that she was intended to be an administrative secretary, someone who could handle office tasks. In every department or team, such an assistant was necessary. In administrative roles, they were mostly women, while in combat roles, they were elite ninjas.

Observing Shisui's well-intentioned gesture, Uchiha Yoru also smiled. He looked at the newly graduated and still naive Uzuki Yugao before him, and said with a smile, "Very well, for now, you can go and familiarize yourself with the work."

"Thank you, sir." Uzuki Yugao bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, her face filled with excitement and anticipation for the future.

However, as Uzuki Yugao closed the door and left, Uchiha Yoru's smile gradually turned cold, but Shisui, who was beside him, remained oblivious to it.

As Uchiha Yoru read the personnel file, he couldn't help but show a chilling glint in his eyes. He looked up with a grim expression, staring at Shisui, and slammed three profiles onto the table.

Uchiha Shisui, an elite Jonin, noticed Uchiha Yoru's serious expression when he took out the three files. Among them was Uzuki Yugao's, which he specifically placed on top.

"Yoru-niisan, should we...?" Shisui's eyes flashed with anger. He was growing more resentful towards Root and their dark actions. His discontent with Root was becoming stronger.

Uchiha Yoru shook his head, but inside, he couldn't help but feel bitter. He knew that revealing the truth to Shisui would have a counterproductive effect. It was better not to let him investigate further. Once Shisui discovered the truth about these three individuals through his covert investigation, he would understand the gravity of the situation.

For the sake of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Yoru had put in a great deal of effort. He didn't want to experience the night of the clan's extermination again in a few years.

Although Uzuki Yugao and Hayate Gekko were destined for a tragic fate, it was evident from the original story that both of them were members of the ANBU. But when did the ANBU start training them?

He didn't know, but one thing was certain: Konoha was currently facing a shortage of personnel, and with the return of the Third Hokage, they would surely focus on nurturing and developing their own forces.

"People from the ANBU, huh?" Uchiha Yoru inwardly sneered. Sending such young individuals as infiltrators was indeed a clever strategy.

During the Chunin Exams, these two individuals were already classified as special Jonin, especially Hayate Gekko, who was a bloodline ninja. But wasn't infiltration the ideal role for covert ninjas? On the other hand, Uzuki Yugao was an ordinary civilian.

Identifying talented candidates and secretly cultivating them from an early age was a common practice of the ANBU. As for Yakushi Kabuto, there was no need to say anything. Everyone knew he was from Root.

"Yoru-niisan, should we take action against them or assign them to work in the prison?"

Aware that these individuals were infiltrators from within the village, Shisui suggested taking action or putting them in a precarious situation.

However, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed, pretending to be exhausted and mentally strained. "You can defend for now, but not forever. Let's pretend we don't know anything. As for Uzuki Yugao, since you've already arranged for her to be by my side, let's not alert the other side. As for the other two..."

"Hayate Gekko's profile is quite ordinary, so we'll assign him to the patrol and public safety team as usual. As for this… Remember, don't raise any alarms with these three individuals."

"Understood."

Uchiha Yoru chose not to alert these three individuals, as he had already gathered information about their backgrounds. Sometimes, pretending not to know was the best strategy. If they were to expose them, it could lead to the infiltration of more spies.

"Shisui, continue your covert investigation and see if there are any other problematic individuals among the recently recruited personnel."

Uchiha Yoru didn't believe that only these few individuals were involved. There had to be more. Shisui's face turned solemn upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow. Why did they have to be so cautious towards the Uchiha?
