At this moment, in the sky above Konoha Village, under the moonlight, a figure stood.
Dressed in a moon-white long robe, with a short sword at his waist, his silver hair floated gently in the air. The mysterious fox mask on his face formed a silent smile.
From his vantage point, the entire layout of Konoha Village was visible.
He looked down, muttering to himself:
"If I remember correctly, Naga Shrine should be by the river..."
The Naga River ran through the entire Konoha Village.
According to the information Kuzo had gathered earlier, Naga Shrine, located at the farthest downstream point, belonged to the Uchiha clan.
After confirming his target, Kuzo didn't hesitate. He moved swiftly with Shunpo, heading straight for his destination.
His primary goal was clear: to complete the system's side task and examine the inscriptions at the Uchiha clan's Nanga Shrine.
As for Itachi and the masked man, Kuzo had already formulated a plan to deal with them.

In front of the Naga Shrine, two Uchiha clan guards sat on the steps, chatting lazily.
One guard took a drag from his cigarette, narrowed his eyes, and commented:
"Speaking of which, I suddenly feel that Young Master Itachi from the patriarch's house is a real genius."
"Really? Why do you say that?"
"I saw him leap across the entire Uchiha mansion this afternoon. His speed was unbelievable! In fact, he's been here before."
"Wait, what? Master Itachi has been to the shrine?!"
"Yep," the smoking guard replied with a soft smile, "I think he was probably here to get a better look at our Uchiha mansion, to protect us in the future."
Hearing this, the younger guard widened his eyes in admiration.
"As expected of Master Itachi! Even though he's only thirteen, he's already thinking about the entire clan."
But just as he said this, a chuckling voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
"Hehe, those words are really interesting."
"Didn't you two think about it? That guy probably stepped on some points in advance and later killed people to make things easier."
"?!"
As soon as the voice fell, both guards froze, their eyes widening in alarm.
Who was speaking?
They turned around quickly, only to be met with a chilling sight.
On the roof of the shrine, a moon-white figure stood silently. He wore a smiling fox mask, which gleamed eerily in the moonlight.
"You... who are you?!" one of the guards stammered.
"How dare you speak ill of Master Itachi! How could he kill people?!"
Although both guards were terrified, they still managed to muster some courage and spoke out, albeit trembling.
In reality, they were shaking with fear. They couldn't fathom how this figure had appeared behind them without making a sound. It was as if he was a ghost. The eerie atmosphere around the shrine only made it more terrifying.
Kuzo, still standing on the roof, simply chuckled at their words and then leapt off the shrine without responding. He didn't intend to waste time talking to them. After all, once Itachi arrived, they would likely understand.
As Kuzo approached, the guards immediately raised their weapons, seemingly trying to defend themselves.
But before they could even react, they were struck by an invisible pressure from the sky.
The force was overwhelming!
Almost simultaneously, both guards dropped to their knees.
The invisible pressure felt like two massive hands slapping them, preventing them from standing properly.
"What's going on?!"
"What kind of power is this?!"
The two guards knelt helplessly, their faces drained of color. Their eyes widened in fear, and sweat poured down their faces.
Kuzo smiled faintly and spoke calmly.
"Listen carefully, I'll only ask this once."
"Does Naga Shrine have a basement? Where's the entrance?"
The guards froze in shock.
What was this mysterious person's purpose? He was asking about the basement of the shrine? But Patriarch Fugaku had explicitly forbidden anyone from entering without permission...
As the two guards hesitated, the pressure on them increased even more!
"What?!"
"It seems like you two don't quite understand."
Kuzo raised his right hand slightly, summoning a moon-white Reiatsu. He looked at the guards with a gentle smile.
"You have to step on ants without killing them. This power is hard to control."
