After waiting for two days, Yoichi finally seized an opportunity.
One of the samurai from the Iwata clan went out, and Yoichi spotted him and trailed him.
After they were considerably far from the Iwata residence, he found an opportunity when no one was around. The samurai from the Iwata clan was directly captured by Kakashi using Earth Style and taken away.
"If we're only doing the mission, there's no need to make it this complicated," Kakashi couldn't help but comment. According to the mission requirements, if they only dealt with Iwata Kuma, they could have significantly simplified Yoichi's plan, saving a lot of trouble.
"Don't question the captain's plan, Kakashi. Learn from it. If you're not more careful, you'll end up costing lives when you lead missions in the future," Yoichi said.
After that, Yoichi used his Sharingan genjutsu to extract all the information about the Iwata clan, including the most important details about Iwata Kuma's bodyguards.
Finally, he also asked about the whereabouts of the Iwata clan's treasury. Kakashi, who was still young, couldn't help but look disdainful upon hearing this.
However, Yoichi didn't care at all. Once you become a ninja, you shouldn't think of yourself as righteous. Ninjas, to put it nicely, were extraordinary peacekeepers, but to put it bluntly, they were tools in the hands of the ruling class.
Money could do many things: Chakra metal, secret medicines, hiring others to do tasks - all required money.
After obtaining the information, Yoichi implanted commands into his mind using genjutsu and then had him bring out another samurai friend, whom he also controlled with his Sharingan genjutsu.
Yoichi gave explosive tags to both of them and instructed them to keep them hidden.
Afterwards, he also captured two merchants kept by the nobles of the Land of Earth. Only after obtaining all the information did he and Kakashi prepare to execute the plan.

In the dead of night, the capital of the Land of Grass suddenly resounded with a thunderous explosion, startling many from their slumber.
The Iwata clan's warehouse exploded suddenly, instantly killing half of the people inside. The ones who survived were left dazed and bewildered for a moment.
Once they regained their composure from the shock, these members of the Iwata clan began loudly demanding to report to the clan head!
They all had a rough idea of how much the goods inside were worth, at least a hundred million. If they were lost in the explosion, their entire families would suffer.
"Clan Head, Clan Head!"
The overseer of the warehouse rushed back to the Iwata residence, his face full of panic, and cried out loudly. When Kuma came out, he burst into tears and snot, crying, "Clan Head, it's bad! The warehouse suddenly exploded, and everything inside was burned to ashes!"
"What!?"
Upon hearing this news, Kuma almost couldn't catch his breath. All the goods he had recently purchased were stored in the warehouse, and with this explosion, the Iwata family's assets shrank by at least fifty percent!
"What on earth happened!?"
Kuma roared with bloodshot eyes, but the overseer of the warehouse couldn't provide any explanation. He begged for mercy on his knees, repeatedly saying only one thing: he hoped to be forgiven for his life.
"Get out of here! Take me to the warehouse and gather everyone to put out the fire! If my goods can't be saved, your entire family will commit seppuku!"
Kuma said angrily, and then hastily went out without even putting on his clothes.
However, a burly Grass shinobi blocked Kuma's way and said to him, "Lord Iwata, this could be the work of enemies. I mentioned to you a few days ago that ninjas have been appearing frequently around your house."
Kuma suddenly remembered this, but those goods were very important to him. Although life was precious, money was equally precious.
"Kakutaro, have all the guards in the house follow me. You guys too, come with me to the warehouse. This is very important to me!"
"Iwata-sama."
"Don't say anything more, let's move quickly!"
Seeing Kuma's determination, the Grass shinobi stopped trying to dissuade him and could only call his team, then all the guards from the Iwata house followed Kuma out.
However, halfway there, Kuma's team was suddenly intercepted by several people, who loudly scolded Kuma.
"Iwata-kun, come out and explain!"
Naturally, it was Yoichi who spoke. Having obtained information through genjutsu and disguised as a merchant from the Land of Earth, he knew exactly when to be arrogant and when to be cautious.
"Why are you blocking me? Let Kuma come out and see me!"
It's Tsuchi Jiro, oh no, how did they receive the message so quickly!
Kuma thought it was bad, but he ordered the guards to let Tsuchi Jiro's group in, then apologized with a guilty face, saying, "Jiro-san, it's so late."
"Don't say that, Iwata-kun. I'm not a fool. My subordinates just reported to me about the explosion in your warehouse. Can we still deliver the goods we agreed on? Remember, I've already paid for them!
You know the relationship between Minister Kawakami and the Iwata village. If this batch of goods is delayed, the next visitors will be ninjas from Iwa!"
"Jiro-san, don't worry, I'll go see immediately. I promise to let you take away the goods in time."
Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Kuma hurriedly shouted to his subordinates, "Speed up, hurry up!"
No one dared to look or listen any further, including the Grass shinobi team. For Grass ninjas, the Iwata village was not something they could provoke. If they said too much, they might bring themselves big trouble.
As they neared the Iwata warehouse, suddenly two figures sprang out from the darkness, shouting "kill," and attacked the Iwata team.
"Raiton: Jibashi!"
"Kumonin Art: Raizanzan!"
It was just a regular Lightning Release chakra-mode slash, but Uchiha Yoichi's shadow clone deliberately shouted loudly to shift the blame to the Kumonin.
"They're enemies, Lord Iwata, be careful!"
The Grass shinobi Kakutaro shouted loudly, then cursed in his heart. How did Kuma provoke the Kumo-nin? Moreover, the one wrapped in lightning was probably the Kumo-nin's Lightning Release chakra mode.
Four Grass ninjas formed a team formation, guarding in front of Kuma's carriage.
However, the other guards from the Iwata clan were no match for Kakashi and Yoichi's shadow clones. Even though they were shadow clones, they were still chunin-level, not to mention that Yoichi had the strength of a special jounin.
Except for the two samurai controlled by his Sharingan, who slowly approached the Grass ninjas, the others were basically powerless against Kakashi and Yoichi's shadow clones.
"Darn it, don't be too arrogant, Kumo-nin!"
Grass ninja Kakutaro shouted loudly, then formed seals with his hands, creating a dozen or so lantern-shaped fireballs around him. "Katon: Endan!"
"Captain, let me help too! Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"
Kakutaro and another Grass ninja stepped forward to use ninjutsu, directly suppressing Kakashi and Yoichi's shadow clones. Under the combined attack of Fire Release ninjutsu and the attacks of others, the two shadow clones seemed to be in danger.
However, at this moment, the real Yoichi signaled Kakashi with his eyes, and Kakashi, understanding his intention, immediately formed seals with his hands.
"Doton: Doryūheki!"
A tall earth wall suddenly rose, separating the carriage and the battlefield in front. Meanwhile, Yoichi's body surged with dazzling lightning, and his lightning-fast strike beheaded Kuma and another Grass ninja in one fell swoop.
His eyes instantly turned into Sharingan, and he launched a genjutsu against the red-haired female Grass ninja, making her lose the power to resist.
At the same second Kakashi used Earth Style ninjutsu, the two samurai controlled by his Sharingan also dropped their weapons and lunged at the two Grass ninjas.
Boom!~
