Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 209 Returning to Camp

"Earth Release: Great Earth Flow Cutting Technique"

Outside the barrier, a large group of Iwa ninja, standing in specific positions, formed hand seals together, mobilized their chakra, and unleashed this earth-style ninjutsu.

As these people pressed their hands to the ground.

The land that was originally encased by the barrier began to slowly rise. When it rose to about ten meters, the entire raised land was neatly divided in the middle and tilted to the left and right.

This is the standard method used by Iwa ninja to deal with barriers!

Most of them are barriers, and when they are cast, there must be a point of support, which is usually the earth.

While the Iwa ninja may not be particularly skilled at breaking barriers, they are experts at altering terrain.

As the earth split in two, carrying the weight of the land itself, it tilted to both sides, and the originally intact barrier began to violently fluctuate and tear apart.

Even its square shape began to become irregular due to the enormous force transmitted from the foundation, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Click!Click!Click!

With a sound like shattering glass, cracks began to spread across the barrier.

It's like throwing a huge rock into a frozen lake in winter; inevitably, cracks will appear.

Then...

A crisp "bang!" rang out.

"The barrier has shattered! Everyone, get ready!"

Having witnessed the barrier shatter, Jonin Akaishi began to organize the Iwa ninja to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

They didn't know the situation inside the base, but they knew it was bad.

It's always good to be careful!

Before they could even enter the stronghold, a violent gust of wind swept across the land near the stronghold.

They were blown about so badly they were completely out of control!

"Damn it! I'm too late..."

Encouraging the Jonin Akaishi to steady himself, he shielded his face from the oncoming gale with his arm. His gaze swept across the base, and he knew that despite his haste, he was still too late.

"This...summoning beast...was it the work of that Uchiha team with the bounty on its head?"

Watching the enormous bird soar into the sky, whipping up a whirlwind, Akaishi did not give chase. Although he was valued by the Tsuchikage and had been taught the essence of Light and Heavy Rock Still Water, allowing him to fly, he was still unaware of the dangers.

However, compared to flying animals that possess chakra, there is still a certain gap in speed.

I simply can't keep up with their speed!

"We've finally completed this mission, although it took a bit longer than expected, but it's not a big deal!"

Before the enemy could destroy the barrier, Toshiro left the ground. Sitting on the back of "Mountain Eagle," he looked at the Iwa ninja on the ground and sighed with emotion.

If he hadn't gone to great lengths this time, purchasing a large number of explosive tags and casting this barrier spell, completing this mission would have been virtually impossible.

It is estimated that once the mission begins, the Iwa ninjas who like to fight in groups will come to support this base in droves.

By then, even if I activate Sage Mode, I probably won't be able to hold out for long!

Not to mention his fellow clansmen behind him.

……

A gust of wind blew by, and Toshiro and his group landed at the Uchiha camp before dawn.

"It's just the right time for breakfast! Toshiro... don't forget your promise!"

Having just dismounted from "Mountain Eagle's" back, the other party spoke impatiently, drool dripping from his mouth.

When I think about the delicious food that humans cook, and then think about the sea fish I usually eat, there is simply no comparison.

"knew!"

"Since we're already hungry, why don't we hurry up and hunt some prey!"

"This way we can also connect and strengthen our relationship!"

It rolled its eyes, somewhat annoyed that the other was freeloading, but what could it do? It couldn't grill meat! Besides, the other's appetite was nothing to it.

Its current size is nearly fifty meters in wingspan and over twenty meters in height! It has a huge appetite and doesn't care about this little bit of energy expenditure at all.

Without saying a word, he went to hunt prey.

Watching the eagle soar into the distance, Toshiro felt a pang of envy. Though it was just a sea eagle, it could act as it pleased.

Eat when you want, sleep when you want!

As a human being, I have quite a few troublesome things to do!

"Zhe! I'm leaving the rest to you! I still need to go see the clan chief!"

Although I completed the mission this time, I exceeded the mission time. Even though I have the protection of my family and won't encounter any major trouble, it wouldn't be right for me to just ignore it.

We should still go and say hello!

As he spoke, Toshiro lifted his leg and walked towards the largest tent in the camp.

"Excuse me!"

After announcing himself at the tent entrance, Toshiro paused briefly, then lifted the tent flap and entered. A young man was now sitting in the spot where Uchiha Shigeyama had been.

He was the original young head of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fugaku!

The original clan leader of Shigeyama had already sacrificed himself a year ago, and the young Uchiha Fugaku took over as clan leader.

At that time, the other party was only 25 years old, which could be described as young and promising.

However, his slightly aged face lacked any trace of youthful vigor.

Through the dim light inside the tent, one could see that the other person's face was full of fatigue, and with deep eye bags and nasolabial folds, he looked like a middle-aged man nearing forty.

"Oh, it's Toshiro! You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let's have a light meal together here!"

Upon seeing Toshiro enter, Fugaku Uchiha mustered his energy to greet him. He had been busy all night and hadn't had a proper rest.

The protracted war, the casualties in his family, and the pressure on the village—he had to handle each of these things carefully and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

However, when facing Toshiro, he still managed a forced smile, and said to Mikoto Uchiha beside him, "Mikoto! Go prepare some breakfast, Toshiro and I have some things to discuss!"

The saying goes, "No one visits a temple without a reason." As soon as the other person walked in, he knew that they must have something to ask him, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Thank you for your help, Mrs. Mikoto!"

Since the other party was so enthusiastic, Toshiro had no reason to refuse and took a seat readily. That's just how he is; he's straightforward and doesn't like those polite, polite formalities.

As the clan leader's wife, Uchiha Mikoto didn't say much, but simply nodded to Toshiro as a greeting.

They went out of the tent to prepare.
