Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 270 Ghost Lantern

"Another second-generation leader?"

Mei Terumi was extremely troubled by her fellow Kirigakure ninja; one by one, they didn't seem to value their own and their comrades' lives.

All they know is fighting and killing.

Even Hozuki Mangetsu is no exception, inheriting the Second Mizukage's warlike and mad personality perfectly, and of course, he is equally talented.

Fortunately, she doesn't have the same bloodlust as Kaguya.

"Didn't you receive the message? The other side just had a big battle with those people from the Dark Division, and they should still be recovering. It's only natural that they avoid further battle."

Although Toshiro had decimated most of the Kirigakure ANBU who were chasing Rin Nohara last time, one or two Kirigakure ninja still managed to leave behind a messenger to return to the village.

"Those useless ANBU members? They actually lost the Three-Tails! They're really getting worse with each generation!"

Speaking of these ANBU members, Hozuki Mangetsu was filled with rage.

Normally, when they're in the village, they act all high and mighty, looking down on everyone. But this time, they've caused such a huge mess.

That's absolutely outrageous.

"Those people are quite strong, it's just that that Uchiha guy is too troublesome."

The selection process for the Hidden Mist's Anbu is even more brutal than their ninja graduation exams, and those selected are all ruthless and cold-blooded individuals.

Where is the full moon? This guy makes such a terrible point.

"There's movement!"

Hozuki Mangetsu, who was playing in the puddle, sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation through the omnipresent water molecules and winked at Terumi Mei beside him.

Then she slowly sank into the puddle and disappeared. Upon receiving the news, Mei Terumi acted quickly and vanished with a whirlwind.

Not long after, a figure wearing a green vest slowly walked towards the spot where the two of them had just been.

It was Uchiha Toshiro.

A light rain had just fallen last night, and these puddles, which were everywhere, became the best hiding places for the Mist Ninja.

Therefore, every puddle within his sight was thoroughly examined by Toshiro using his Sharingan.

However, the genius of the Hozuki clan clearly used some special method to conceal his chakra fluctuations, leaving no trace.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. He had already detected the anomaly in the vicinity from afar, as well as that familiar chakra fluctuation.

He believed that the woman, along with his new companion, would appear before him.

"Water Release: Shield Bird Hat"

Just as Toshiro was passing by an unremarkable puddle, Hozuki Mangetsu unleashed his long-planned ninjutsu.

He used his own chakra to create a large amount of water, which covered his body and formed a strangely shaped, large water-style creation that completely enveloped Toshiro.

It was the strange ninjutsu his brother used to block the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in the original story.

After briefly controlling Toshiro using this ninjutsu that combines offense and defense, he was somewhat surprised that everything was going so smoothly.

But he couldn't care less about that now and immediately started calling for his companions.

"Hurry, I can't hold on much longer!"

Although he had temporarily trapped the opponent with ninjutsu, this person had a very high level of mastery of lightning release, and he had no resistance to lightning release at all.

Even if I am currently connected to the earth by a wire, I can only trap the other party for a short while.

"Well……"

After they had the other party under control, an unexpected event occurred.

His hidden companion did not appear beside him as planned, nor did he seal him and Toshiro, who was under the control of ninjutsu.

He knew things were going badly without even turning around.

The scene that appeared before him still made him look somewhat surprised.

What he saw was astonishing. Not to mention his hidden companion, even Mei Terumi, the fearless leader, looked like she'd seen a ghost, and was being controlled by a sealing technique.

This script is wrong! Shouldn't they be the ones sealing this Konoha guy? How come it's his companion who's been sealed instead?

Before he could think any further, layers of black runes crept through his outer ninjutsu and onto his body, rendering him unable to control his chakra and unable to move at all.

"Wow... Minato-sensei's skills are truly extraordinary! It seems our mission is going to be a complete success!"

Ever since Minato Namikaze showed him kindness, Toshiro has been calling him "Big Brother Minato." He is almost 8 years younger than Minato, so calling him "Big Brother" is not a loss for him.

At this moment, Mei Terumi, Mangetsu Hozuki, and the sealing ninja who had been hiding their tracks all had mixed feelings, as their chakra and mobility were controlled.

A mission! What mission?

The two sides have been fighting fiercely these past few days. Now that we've been captured, what mission could we possibly have? It's nothing more than capturing us, interrogating us for information, and then killing us.

We were a complete joke this time. We had meticulously planned a trap, but before we could even put it into action, we had fallen into their trap.

That's really frustrating.

"Haha! Toshiro, it's nothing special. The main advantage was the surprise attack. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to subdue these three people so quickly."

"Speaking of which, it was Toshiro's bait that worked best. As soon as these three saw you, they attacked without much hesitation, which gave me the opportunity to capture them all at once."

To be honest, Minato Namikaze is a very humble and polite man. He was a little embarrassed after being praised by Toshiro.

"I can't break free!"

Although Mei Terumi and the other two couldn't move, they could still communicate with their eyes, and they glanced at each other while moving their eyes.

Especially her companion, who was a sealing master, was someone she and Hozuki Mangetsu had placed high hopes on. But the result left the three of them extremely disappointed.

At just one glance, they understood what the other person meant, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

They're really finished this time.

Especially for Mei Terumi, as a woman, she had the most inner monologue at this time. After trying several methods but failing to restore her mobility, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Poor Mei Terumi, a woman determined to change the state of Kirigakure, how could she be defeated so quietly in this obscure little place? She hasn't even found a satisfactory groom, hasn't become the Queen of Kirigakure, how could she...
