"Don't be careless, not a trace of blood can remain."
Uchiha Hikari stood gracefully on a towering rock, directing the Gold and Silver Brothers to clean up the battlefield.
"What I want is for them to vanish from the face of the earth, so that the Hidden Cloud Village higher-ups can never find them. Logically, this should have been a secret operation." She wrinkled her delicate little nose, somewhat speechless as she surveyed the Cloud-Lightning Gorge, which had been half-destroyed.

"How did it turn out like this?"
Kinkaku responded in a muffled voice, "Sorry, master, we'll be more careful next time."
"That old thing was too resistant to blows. Without unleashing our full power, we couldn't take him down at all." Ginkaku tossed the Corpse on his shoulder into the pile of corpses, lazily raising his head. "Don't worry, master, we'll just claim that it was the Tailed Beasts' power going berserk that caused this. No one will see through it."
"Sigh..." Light couldn't help but support her forehead with one hand. She knew that if it were that guy, he would definitely end the battle the moment the sneak attack succeeded.
Sensing her displeasure, Kinkaku immediately walked over and bumped his Younger Brother with his shoulder. Ginkaku understood and promptly shut his mouth, and his movements in cleaning up the Corpse became much more efficient.
After all, in the two brothers' Will, there was absolutely no thought of disobeying orders, not even the idea of going against her.
This was all thanks to Light's Eye Technique, "Yachihoko."
Six years ago, on Shin'yu's suggestion, the two brothers were struck by "Yachihoko" and branded with a mark. This mark was directly imprinted on their souls, and unless there was the power of All Things in Nature, or Light herself removed the mark, it would never disappear.
From then on, the two brothers' Chakra was completely at Light's disposal, freely allocated and used, regardless of distance or spatial transfer.
Over the years, Light indirectly invaded the Gold and Silver Brothers' spiritual domain through the mark, collecting memory fragments and performing operations such as mixing, deleting, and modifying them. With a little effort, she finally controlled their minds, completely turning them into her puppets.
In the two brothers' subjective consciousness, Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Hikari, and Uchiha Shin'yu were existences they could not disobey. It was as if they were born as slaves to these three, and everything they did was right; they only needed to obey.
What Hidden Cloud Village, what power, what rights, none of it could compare to a single command from their master.
Of course, the person with the greatest command authority was still Light.
Soon, under Light's supervision, the Gold and Silver Brothers' cleaning speed greatly increased, and they cleared the battlefield in less than a while.
Apart from the First Raikage, who was burned to ashes by Amaterasu, the other corpses were also burned to the ground, leaving no trace.
After things were over, Light put on her cloak again and set off with the Gold and Silver Brothers, heading to Hidden Cloud Village.
...
"This is..."
In the Raikage Building, behind a desk, a burly man with a hair bun, a rough appearance, and a face full of stubble sized up Uchiha Hikari, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Just a friend we recently made." Kinkaku said lightly.
"Friend?" The burly man revealed a suspicious look. "You two brothers actually made friends outside the village?"
"Hey, A, even though you're the Acting Raikage now, even if the Raikage himself were here, he couldn't control who we make friends with, right?" Ginkaku grinned, stepped forward, and together with Kinkaku, blocked Light's slender and exquisite figure behind them.
A, the First Raikage's strongest bodyguard, had accompanied him to the Five Kage Summit. Now, he had risen to the higher ranks with his powerful strength and reputation, and was recognized as the Ninja who inherited the First Raikage's Will.
Everyone understood that, barring any accidents, this guy was almost the designated candidate for the Second Raikage.
"Forget it, I don't understand you guys." A shook his head, took one last look at Light, and said in a deep voice, "As long as you don't cause trouble for the village, the rest is up to you."
His expression seemed relaxed, but a subtle hint of gravity flashed in his eyes.
The black-robed woman before them appeared frail, but the fluctuations in her Chakra strength indicated that she was at least at the level of a Kage-level powerhouse!
The First Raikage was old and advanced in years, and the election ceremony for the new Kage would likely be held soon. With him not in the village, any variables could be fatal.
These brothers had long been at odds with the Raikage, extremely dissatisfied with his "Appeasement Policy," and had had many arguments. Now, they were bringing such a strong person back to the village...
He would be damned if he believed they had no ulterior motives.
At that moment, a middle-aged man who looked very much like the First Raikage pushed open the door and came out, visibly stunned when he saw the Gold and Silver Brothers.
He walked straight to the desk, his brow furrowed with worry. Even an outsider like Light could see his anxiety.
"Lord B, is there something wrong?" A asked.
The man named "B" immediately said, "Is there any news? When will my brother be back?"
"This..." A frowned slightly, "It should be soon, right? After all, it's been four days. At the Raikage's pace, he should be back tonight."
Hearing this, B sighed, "It needs to be quick. I feel like the seal is showing signs of loosening..."
"Sorry!"
A suddenly interrupted him, turning his gaze to the Gold and Silver Brothers, "You two, if there's nothing else, you can leave."
Kinkaku didn't say anything, silently walking out with Uchiha Hikari.
"Is there something we can't hear together, so secretive?" Ginkaku suddenly stepped forward, plopping down on the desk.
He leaned on the desk with one hand, slowly bending down, grinning, "Hey, you, are you afraid that we brothers will snatch your position as the Second Raikage?"
"Ginkaku is joking." A met his gaze without changing his expression, although his dark face didn't show any change in color, "Hidden Cloud Village is everyone's Hidden Cloud Village. Even if there's an election, it will definitely be open and fair. The eyes of the masses are sharp, so Ginkaku doesn't need to worry about me doing anything underhanded."
"Tch, forming cliques, I really can't get along with you!" Ginkaku waved his hand, knowing when to quit, and left.
...
Late at night, starlight illuminated the sky, and faint wisps of cloud lingered around the village, a scene of tranquility.
Light stood alone on the roof of the inn, gazing at the night sky. The evening breeze was cool and moist, causing her many strands of green hair to flutter slightly.
The starry sky filled her eyes, and the young girl's face was full of worries. If someone could see her expression at this moment, they would find that the worry on her face was no less than B's during the day.
Suddenly, she seemed to wake up from a dream and turned abruptly to look in the direction of the Raikage Building.
There, a chaotic airflow was rushing towards them.
At the same time, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who were fast asleep, opened their eyes simultaneously.
They quickly pushed open their doors and stepped out, exchanging a glance, both confirming a piece of information from each other's eyes.
The Eight-Tails had gone berserk.
Uchiha Hikari readjusted her cloak, like a nimble cat walking on the rooftops under the moonlight, leaping up lightly and disappearing from the spot.
