Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 253 Wild Ideas

"Their opponent is the Uchiha, a true prestigious clan in the ninja world, on par with the Senju. You guys aren't bad either~"

Upon meeting the talented young people from his own village, he was quite disheartened by their performance.

Yagura didn't forget to offer a few words of comfort to the other party.

Not only are they not bad, but all of them are under 20 years old and their strength has reached the level of elite Jonin.

Mei Terumi, in particular, possesses two bloodline limits, making her even stronger than the other two, and her future prospects are limitless.

"By the way! How's the Anbu mission going?"

Mei Terumi quickly recovered from her silence and began inquiring about the progress of the Anbu mission.

"The mission of the Dark Side..."

Yagura was a bit overwhelmed by the thought. He had no idea what the Third Mizukage was thinking, that he would seal the Three-Tails inside a Konoha ninja.

Do they think that having the strongest Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in Konoha isn't enough, and they're planning to give the opponent a Three-Tails Jinchuriki as well?

Isn't this sending lambs to the slaughter?

Not only him, but even Master Yuan opposed doing so.

However, the elderly Third Mizukage was determined to go his own way, and no one could persuade him otherwise, not even the equally elderly Genji.

Left with no other choice, they had to cooperate with the Anbu's operation and try to see if they could give Konoha a surprise.

"Has the third generation become senile?"

Before Yagura could answer Mei Terumi's question, the aloof Shimizu directly voiced her own thoughts.

These powerful clans of the Mist Ninja were almost all aware of this major event!

"Shut up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yagura and Mei Terumi beside him both changed their expressions drastically and quickly stopped him from speaking.

At the same time, he cautiously looked around.

Although the Third Mizukage was old, he was not someone his subordinates could casually discuss. If they were not careful, it could bring trouble to themselves and their families.

"I actually think the third generation did a good job!"

Unlike the other three, Kaito, being a member of the Kaguya clan, found the Third Hokage's plan quite to his liking.

"If the Three-Tails could go berserk within Konoha Village, the damage it would inflict would be far greater than if we killed a few Konoha ninja on the battlefield!"

"That's true, but if Konoha seals up the Three-Tails afterward, wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"

Upon hearing Kaito's statement, Mei Terumi began to explain the consequences of doing so. In her view, sending the Three-Tails to Konoha as a time bomb was nothing more than a senile delusion.

Is this how the Three-Tails is used?

It's not an explosive tag.

"Does Konoha dare to seize our Kirigakure's tailed beast? Not only would Kirigakure not agree to that, but even Iwagakure and Kumogakure wouldn't allow it!"

"Uh~"

To everyone's surprise, the usually single-minded Kaguya Kaito was able to come up with such a reasoning, leaving Terumi Mei momentarily speechless and unsure how to refute him.

Indeed, as Kaguya Kaito said, Konoha might not dare to keep the Three-Tails of the Mist Ninja in their hands.

This involves the issue of balancing the tailed beasts!

You, Konoha, already have the strongest Nine-Tails, why keep the Three-Tails? What are you planning to do? Beat up the Iwa ninja and trample the Kumo ninja?

"You can't say that. What if Konoha demands a ransom from us to buy the Three-Tails again?"

In that case, I doubt any ninja village will stand up for the Mist Ninja!

"If only we could win this war!"

Faced with her companion's rebuttal, Kaguya Kaito retorted directly, leaving Terumi Mei speechless and rolling her eyes.

What the other person said was correct, but...

……

The following afternoon, Toshiro, who was training in his own tent, was invited by Orochimaru to the main tent.

"So, Minato-senpai's two adorable disciples... are in a very bad situation right now?"

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, a seemingly familiar scene flashed into Toshiro's mind.

"Yes! For Konoha... and for my own ideals..."

Orochimaru, sitting in the main seat, let out a laugh that was hard to decipher, as if he were mocking something.

"Then... what about Minato-senpai now...?"

"He's still on the northern border, dealing with the Cloud Ninja who are trying to move south, facing the infamous AB combination..."

So the Hokage sent Kakashi's plea for help to you?

And then you found me?

Seeing Orochimaru seemingly lost in thought, Toshiro rolled his eyes in exasperation and could only get up and leave.

Preparing to wrap up their own dance king.

To be honest, Minato Namikaze really can't be blamed for this. It was all Madara's scheme. Rin Nohara was helpless; being targeted by such a big boss, who else would die if not her?

After leaving the tent, Toshiro didn't linger. He drew a large bird and sped off towards the address marked on the intelligence report.

He has now attained Sage Mode and has no interest in his family's Flame Fan. He has no desire to get involved in this matter at all, but...

The matter has come full circle and ended up back in my hands!

"Hopefully we can make it in time!"

Flying through the air, looking down at the forests and rivers on the ground, Toshiro could only console himself with this thought.

There wasn't much of a bond between him and Nohara Rin; they were just acquaintances of acquaintances, and he didn't really care whether she lived or died.

However, if given the chance, he still intends to save the other party. Not for any other reason, but because this matter is also a good opportunity for him. If he handles it well, his future will be secured.

Whoosh!

After traveling for several hours, Toshiro landed directly from the sky and arrived at the location where Kakashi had asked for help in just a few steps, but by then Kakashi was nowhere to be seen.

"Are they reinforcements from Konoha?"

From afar, a male voice reached Toshiro's ears.

Before Toshiro could respond, the other party seemed to have already figured out Toshiro's identity.

"It's you! That's perfect! I was worried it would be some small fry, then we wouldn't know who was rescuing whom!"

Seeing the brown ninja dog emerge from the bushes beside him, and its human-like attire, Toshiro couldn't help but feel a pang of envy; the ninja world was truly a strange place.

It's just a summoned beast, yet it can be made so human-like.

"Oh, it's you! Parker... You should be grateful someone came to help you! I don't have time to complain about you!"

Unexpectedly, Kakashi had left it behind to await reinforcements. Grabbing its head and shaking it, Toshiro ordered it to lead the way.

This is not the time for idle chatter.
