Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 219 Failure

"It's alright! It's alright!"

Faced with Rin's gentle smile, Obito was powerless to resist and waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was alright.

He was so nervous that even his outstretched hand was covered in sweat.

"Everyone! Come out!"

At this moment, Nohara Rin paid little attention to her companion's unusual behavior, even ignoring his hands behind his back.

Instead, he spoke to the surroundings.

"Gentlemen?"

Upon hearing this word, Obito was completely stunned. He had originally thought that this would be a time for him and Rin to be alone together.

Why are there still people here?

"Everyone! Kakashi was promoted to Jonin, right? I think since we're all from the same cohort, we should give him some gifts and celebrate together!"

Rin ignored Obito's changing expression and instead took out a plan, distributing it to the fellow ninjas who had suddenly appeared under the cherry blossom tree.

Is that how it is?

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was excitedly distributing plans and preparing to surprise Kakashi, Obito finally realized that he had been delusional.

The roses she was holding slipped from her hand uncontrollably.

Aside from her classmates who had arrived long ago but hadn't shown up yet, Nohara Rin, who was busy with her work, was completely unaware of this scene.

Those classmates, who originally thought they would see a good confession, never expected things to take such a turn.

Everyone was astonished!

But at most, one can only sigh and lament that Obito, that idiot, has made a fool of himself once again...

……

On the evening of the third day.

In a mountain valley, Toshiro and his group were using binoculars to observe a distant stronghold.

Looking at the densely packed Iwa ninja, even the battle-hardened Toshiro couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache.

Last night and the night before, under the cover of darkness, they scouted along the Iwa ninja's supply line.

Because of the perception barrier, they couldn't get too close, and the darkness made it even more difficult to see clearly.

To ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, he left his companions far away outside the Iwa ninja strongholds, allowing them to observe the situation at those strongholds.

It doesn't need to be very accurate; just observe from a distance with a telescope to confirm the general situation of these outposts.

"Shisui! They're in your hands now. You'll lead them during our mission!"

At this moment, Toshiro was explaining something to Shisui. He didn't plan to bring his team of kids along on this mission.

Let them participate in the investigation; there's no need for anything more.

It's too dangerous to venture deep into the Land of Earth with so many burdens. He only plans to take Yan and the others; as for the brats, he can't let them be idle.

Just in case, Toshiro instructed Shisui to take his clansmen to some remote places in the Land of Grass to use as refuge.

If anything goes wrong, this will be their refuge during their retreat.

Even such a mission is not easy. Finding some bases for retreat in the Land of Grass is not a simple task.

If the Iwa ninja discovers their tracks along the way, things won't be good for them either, but he believes Shisui can handle it well.

After all, the opponent is the future "Shisui of the Body Flicker"!

"Senior! Are you sure you're all alright with just the strength of a few of you?"

"I think it's best if everyone works together; that way, we can concentrate our efforts more effectively!"

However, Shisui clearly did not appreciate his good intentions.

Shisui was still very unwilling to be excluded from the mission. Although he usually acted humble and polite, how could he, who had awakened the Sharingan at the age of eight, be willing to be looked down upon like this?

He had been hailed as a genius by his clan since childhood, believing himself to be no match for even ordinary Chunin. Now, however, he wasn't even qualified to join them on a mission.

How can I accept this!

"Shisui! This mission isn't suitable for you guys, and more people aren't necessarily better!"

According to his plan, this mission would not require a large number of people.

"And you won't be completely idle here. Besides searching for shelter, you'll also need to set up some necessary traps to cover our retreat!"

"Our escape route is in your hands!"

This wasn't exactly a lie, because Toshiro wasn't confident he could bring Homura and the others back safely.

"Yes! Shisui, there might be a time when we'll need your protection!"

Beside him, Uchiha Asaka, fully armed, touched Shisui's messy natural curls and smiled at him.

She adored this young member of her clan, and looking at him inevitably reminded her of her own younger brother.

Therefore, we cannot be too careful about stopping the water flow.

Let's go!

After calming Shisui down, Toshiro looked at his companions and had three large, dark birds carry the five of them towards the distant Iwa ninja stronghold.

"Our main task for this mission is to draw the attention of the Iwa ninja. Everyone, please be careful during the mission!"

"Are all the bombing detonators ready?"

"Yes! I've checked everything, and there are no problems."

"That's good!"

Seeing this, Toshiro didn't forget to remind him.

"Iwa ninjas can fly. Although our aerial bombardment is difficult to defend against, desperate Iwa ninjas might find a way to bring us down, and then..."

He wasn't going to use the conventional methods for this mission. Instead, he would use aerial bombardment to draw the attention of the Iwa ninja.

However, this will inevitably make people resentful!

It's estimated that there will be quite a few Iwa ninja surrounding the five of them. And with all sorts of strange and unusual ninjutsu in the ninja world, unexpected events are inevitable.

In fact, in his opinion, even Kannabi Bridge did not have a very good means of defense against aerial bombardment.

If you're willing to use explosive tags, it's a piece of cake.

However, when he proposed this plan in the Hokage's office, for some reason, the Third Hokage did not agree to it.

Instead, they greatly praised his method of using air superiority to lure the Iwa ninja. For this, they even ordered the logistics department to provide them with a large number of explosive tags.

He was also informed of some specific details about the logistics and personnel in the Land of Earth.

After pondering for a long time, Toshiro finally realized what was going on.

How could the Third Hokage possibly allow him, a member of the Uchiha clan, to be the one to end this war? The title of battlefield MVP was simply not for him.

Some parts were written poorly due to writer's block; please forgive any shortcomings.
