Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 311 Requirements

The next day.

Uchiha Toshiro was in his office, carefully examining a small bottle containing a pale green liquid.

This is one of his achievements these days.

These are eye drops made using liquid extracted from White Zetsu tissue, combined with a family-secret remedy-making method.

After much deliberation, he still felt that directly transplanting White Zetsu's cells into his own body was too risky.

He figured it was a good idea to absorb some of the characteristics of White Zetsu through his own eyes, so he created it.

Moreover, the surprise this thing brought him far exceeded his expectations.

Over the course of nearly a year, he not only experienced an explosive increase in his chakra, but also made significant progress in his application of Yang Release.

Most importantly, he could feel that his eyes had also benefited greatly; the barrier that had prevented his eyes from progressing further seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.

It seemed that with just a little effort, he could break through this barrier and enter a whole new world.

Bang Bang Bang!

Just as Toshiro was envisioning his bright future, a discouraging knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in!"

"Warden, this secret agent wants to see you!"

With a strange expression, Uchiha Chie led a masked ANBU member into the office.

She had never seen the secret agents knock on doors when searching for someone. Usually, they would sneak up to their target's side and then suddenly appear.

While scaring the other party into breaking out in a cold sweat, should the Hokage's orders be relayed to them?

"Hmm! Isn't that Kakashi?"

"I never expected it would be you delivering the message!"

Looking at the ninja with his distinctive white hair, Toshiro knew without a doubt who he was. He never expected that the person who came to find him would be an acquaintance.

"Sit down! Chie, go make him a cup of tea!"

Since he was an acquaintance, Toshiro was very hospitable and invited him to sit on the sofa in his office, while also asking his secretary to make him a cup of tea.

"No!"

"Uchiha Toshiro, the Hokage requests your presence!"

Kakashi made no response to Toshiro's enthusiasm, simply replying coldly before disappearing from the spot.

"How indifferent~"

After complaining about Kakashi's coldness, Toshiro prepared to leave Konoha Prison.

"Tsk! The Hokage really values ​​me!"

As soon as he stepped into the Hokage's office, sensing the dense presence of the Anbu around him and the exceptionally powerful chakra within, Toshiro asked the Third Hokage a question he already knew the answer to.

"Toshiro, you misunderstand. These are extraordinary times, which is why the security at the Hokage Building is tighter."

"Oh! That's for the best. I thought this was targeting me!"

With a slight smile, Toshiro didn't care about any of this.

"I asked Toshiro to come here today because there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"After so many years of development, the Uchiha compound has become somewhat crowded. The village leadership has taken this into consideration and is preparing to allocate a larger compound for the Uchiha clan, which will also make it more convenient for the nobles' daily lives."

After saying this, the Third Hokage hid his gaze behind his straw hat, secretly observing Toshiro, as if trying to ascertain something.

"Is that so?"

"Hmm, are the families neighboring ours going to move away? That's good, it'll free up some space."

When it comes to moving, he doesn't even plan to leave the other person a door, let alone a window.

"Well……"

The Third Hokage was quite taken aback. Wasn't he supposed to be giving the Uchiha a new base? Why was he now targeting them instead?

"In short, I will never agree to moving, no matter what!"

Seeing the Third Hokage open his mouth to speak, Toshiro immediately sealed the deal.

"I wonder what Toshiro plans to do about Danzo?"

"Danzo's heart wasn't inherently bad; he was wholeheartedly devoted to Konoha. It's just that his methods were somewhat inappropriate!"

Seeing this, the Third Hokage did not press the matter further, but instead began to inquire about Danzo.

"The Third Hokage was truly magnanimous, and his comradeship with the other side was truly profound."

"Even after being seriously injured by the enemy's men, they were able to act as if nothing had happened and didn't care."

"I'm different. I don't have any ties with the other party, and I've always believed in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

"If the Third Hokage can't give me a satisfactory explanation, then I'll have to..."

Is he doing this for Konoha, but his methods are inappropriate? This wicked old man is really going to take sides to the end, but Toshiro is not like Fugaku Uchiha, who can be fooled with a few simple words and empty promises.

"I'm not an unreasonable person either. As long as the Third Hokage is willing to pay the price, this matter can be let go."

Seeing that the Third Hokage was still going on and on, Toshiro immediately began to state his demands.

"Flying Thunder God! I've always admired the Flying Thunder God technique developed by the Second Hokage. If I ever have the chance to try it, I can pretend this whole thing never happened."

After stating his request, Toshiro looked at the photograph of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, which hung high in the Hokage's office.

Compared to the Flying Thunder God Technique, trash like Danzo is utterly insignificant.

"..."

"The third generation may need some more time to consider, so I won't disturb him here."

Seeing the Third Hokage's brows furrowed in worry and his silence, Toshiro wasn't surprised and continued, "I hope the Third Hokage doesn't take too long to consider this!"

After saying this, Toshiro turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the Third Hokage's office.

"...It's a shadow clone!"

Watching the other party's figure disappear, the Third Hokage felt a mix of emotions. The other party was indeed cautious, even using a shadow clone to come see him, the Hokage.

"Jiraiya... have you discovered anything?"

Looking at the shadow behind him, the Third Hokage did not dwell on the fact that the other party had used a shadow clone to come to see him, but instead focused his gaze on his own shadow.

As his gaze turned, Jiraiya's figure slowly emerged from the otherwise ordinary shadow.

"Nothing was found... This person is very cautious. He has been staying in the prison and at home for the past few days, and these places are covered with barriers, which is very troublesome."

"Moreover, the other party's perception ability is outstanding. I feel that the other party must have discovered that someone is observing him."

In the past few days, Jiraiya has tried everything he could to confirm whether the other party had truly mastered sage techniques, but the other party was clearly prepared.

He suspected that his covert observation had been discovered by the other party.

"Still can't confirm? This is really troublesome..."

Although the Fourth Hokage sensed something, he wasn't entirely sure if the other party had truly mastered Sage Mode. To confirm this, he had Jiraiya sneak around the other party several times to check, but the other party was too cautious.

Even his own residence was sealed off with some kind of barrier, so Jiraiya couldn't find out any useful information at all.

I stayed up too late yesterday, so that's all for today... Please bear with me!
