Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 310 Leak

"Hiruzen, while the opponent's strength is considerable, and that giant summoning beast is quite troublesome, this uncontrollable power cannot be allowed to continue!"

No sooner had Koharu Tsurugi finished speaking than someone else added insult to injury.

"As I've said before, none of these Uchiha are good people."

"If only you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't be in this mess today."

As the person directly involved in the assassination attempt on the Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura felt absolutely no remorse, even when facing the Third Hokage.

It is also possible to maintain a normal complexion.

"Sarutobi, where is Jiraiya now? We should join forces with Jiraiya and wipe this Uchiha brat out completely."

His losses this time were considerable. Not only was his prestige damaged, but he was also dismissed by the Third Hokage, although Root would not be out of his control.

However, some of his secrets were not kept, such as the "Armor" that possessed Wood Release, which was forcibly taken away by Sarutobi.

How could this not infuriate him?

What angered him even more was that the Third Hokage actually suspected that the Nine-Tails' attack was his conspiracy to successfully seize power and become Hokage.

If the Third Hokage hadn't lacked substantial evidence, he would have almost been killed by Sarutobi.

Upon hearing that Uchiha Toshiro was still holding onto this matter, his first reaction was to kill him.

As for the candidate, naturally it would be Jiraiya, the Third Hokage's good disciple.

"Jiraiya has returned, but... this won't do!"

Shaking his head, the Third Hokage directly rejected Danzo's proposal.

If it weren't for Xiaochun and Yan pleading for him, and the fact that he genuinely needed such a bad guy, he really wouldn't want to see this guy who stabbed him in the back again.

"There's nothing wrong with that. If you're worried about a conflict with him in the village, we can find a way to lure him out of the village."

"With Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the two of us, plus our ANBU subordinates, even if Uchiha Toshiro is strong, the opponent is still just one person."

Seeing that Sarutobi disagreed, he instead displayed his perseverance, intending to persuade Sarutobi with his persuasive skills.

"Yes, Sarutobi. If Jiraiya joins us, there won't be any obstacles in dealing with this brat."

"A powerful ninja beyond our control, especially one from the Uchiha clan, is far too dangerous!"

Not to mention Koharu Utatane, even Homura Mitokado nodded repeatedly after hearing Danzo's suggestion.

call!

Taking a deep drag on his pipe and exhaling puffs of acrid smoke, the Third Hokage looked at his three companions and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Uchiha Toshiro may have mastered Sage Mode..."

……

"What did you say?"

"That's impossible!"

When these high-ranking officials of Konoha heard the news, it was impossible for them—whether it was Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, or Homura Mitokado—to maintain their composure as Konoha's leaders.

They all stared at the Third Hokage with disbelief on their faces.

His eyes were filled with surprise, confusion, and unease.

"Sarutobi, this is no small matter. Who is the source of this information? Are you sure it's true?"

Danzo Shimura was so shocked that he stood up abruptly. With only one eye, he looked like a lone wolf staring intently at its prey, both fierce and brutal.

"The source of the information was the Fourth Hokage, who revealed it when he said goodbye to Kushina."

Minato Namikaze has sensory abilities, and the other party also knows Sage Mode. Although Toshiro made some disguises, he could tell that something was wrong with Toshiro as soon as he put his hand on the other party's shoulder.

As the Hokage, he eventually informed Kushina of what he knew, hoping that the Third Hokage would carefully consider how to handle the Uchiha matter.

"Furthermore, to confirm the authenticity of the information, I even had Jiraiya specifically observe the other party."

With his extinguished pipe, the Third Generation Boss slammed it heavily against the coffee table in front of him, and continued:

"There's no definite news about Jiraiya yet, but... it's pretty much a done deal!"

This was also the most troublesome thing for him. If he failed to hit an Uchiha who had mastered Sage Mode, they would be sinners against Konoha.

The other party is not a soft-hearted person.

Fortunately, their opponent didn't activate those legendary eyes; otherwise, they would have had absolutely no advantage against them.

"The more this is the case, the more we must spare no effort to eliminate them!"

With gritted teeth and a look of madness on his face, Danzo spoke each word slowly and resolutely.

However, what he got in return was the look of disbelief from his three companions, who looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"If we can take them down in one strike, it's not something we can't give up, even if the cost is high, it's not unacceptable."

"But, among you, who is confident that they can kill such a powerful ninja with a single blow?"

"If they retaliate afterwards, who can afford to bear the consequences?"

After saying this, the Third Hokage leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

He was incredibly grateful that the Fourth Hokage had revealed this information to Kushina on his deathbed.

When he visited Kushina and Naruto yesterday, they revealed this information to him.

If you were to have a conflict with someone without your knowledge, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And then there's Uchiha Toshiro's personality. He's been looking at a lot of mission briefings these past few days, and this guy often doesn't seem like a student trained at a ninja academy at all. Instead, he seems like a seasoned veteran from the battlefield.

Once they realize something is wrong, they will definitely run away immediately, and the other party has the advantage in this regard.

With excellent perception, mastery of sealing techniques, and the ability to summon flying beasts, as well as the secret technique of Super Beast Imitation Painting, it has an aerial advantage. Just thinking about it is enough to give you a headache.

"Then, what about Danzo?"

"We can't just stand by and watch him get killed by that Uchiha Toshiro, can we?"

Seeing Danzo's increasingly grim expression, Mitokado Homura broke the silence in the office and spoke to the Third Hokage.

At first, this guy didn't take Uchiha Toshiro's threat seriously, relying on his position as a high-ranking member of Konoha and not taking the matter seriously at all. But now, his expression has finally changed.

It's easy to see the difference between an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse and a Kage-level powerhouse who knows immortal techniques.

"Could this Nine-Tails incident have been orchestrated by Uchiha Toshi?"

When Danzo saw that the Third Hokage had no intention of killing Toshiro Uchiha directly, he finally chickened out. If the matter of a Sage Mode user was not let go, he would not be in such a good position.

He knew that even if the other party killed him directly, Sarutobi wouldn't necessarily turn against them because of it.

His strong will to survive led him to steer the conversation towards the Nine-Tails' rampage. If Sarutobi was certain that the other person was involved in the Nine-Tails' rampage, he would definitely not let it go unchecked.

"The other party should... have nothing to do with the Nine-Tails incident!"

After receiving this news, he considered this possibility and investigated the other party's recent whereabouts, but found no evidence to prove that the other party was involved in this matter.

Moreover, the opponent was on the front line of fighting against the Nine-Tails at that time.
