- Thanks to the spies who had been infiltrated in advance and were renting apartments and houses like ordinary citizens, the teams settled in different locations and spent the rest of the time before Operation Revenge - aimed at destroying the entire Hatake clan and recovering the two stolen great swords of Kirigakure no Sato - conducting reconnaissance without attracting attention and communicating only through ordinary people. Thanks to this stealth, they managed to find out not only the identities of all the members of the clan, but also the routes of the Anbu patrols, waited until all the members of the clan were at home, including Sakumo-san, and the risk of interference from the patrols was minimal, and then tried to infiltrate Hatake's territory in order to eliminate all the members of the clan.
- And they would have succeeded if not for the recently upgraded clan defenses, which instantly detected the intruders and went to full kekkai power and sent a signal to me," the shinobi clarified the reason for the failure of a very cleverly planned and executed operation.

- After this failure, the nukenins broke the restraining seals and tried to force their way through with the same result, as a result of which, the manifested chakra sources were detected by sensors and Anbu alarm was given, and a company of nearby chunin came across them, - the commander finished his report, - you know the further events, I will only add that we managed to apprehend all the spies, even if some of them managed to leave the village.
- Well done! And now anyone with such a seal is able to avoid detection of the barrier and wander around Konoha without any problems, right under the noses of unsuspecting, our valiant Anbu! - Tsume Inuzuka couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment, quite in the spirit of her character.
- I wonder how the Hyuga, who boast of their all-seeing Byakugan, didn't notice the twenty-odd people under the seals. - Head Jurin snorted derisively from his seat, making the Hyuga head and the elder and heir behind him cringe.
- Didn't your clan members spend so much time on activating our dojutsu within the village "to preserve the privacy of the other clans", especially since it would take months to find those twenty people among hundreds of thousands of people, like a grain of sand in a sea of sand," Hyuga rebuked his opponent Hazou, and then he was quick to turn the tables, "and the Uchiha are in charge of security.
- The Uchiha police are in charge of street security and investigating crimes, not preventing them and searching for spies and saboteurs," the sharingan calmly countered, "Anbu units are in charge of intelligence and counterintelligence, and they not only missed the preparation of the operation, but also its execution.
The accusations flew in all directions, and the search for right and wrong began, with the sins of the rivals brought to mind, though everyone realized that there was no one person to blame, but rather a brilliantly planned and executed operation by the rival Great Village that had failed to reach its goal only due to coincidence and the foresight of Head Hatake.
But, as always, after a blade is at his throat, people need someone to blame for their sins.
