Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 315 Postponed

"Toshiro! This time, you..."

Walking side by side with Toshiro Uchiha on the way back to the clan's headquarters, Fugaku looked at Toshiro Uchiha beside him and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Does Mr. Fugaku feel that my attitude towards the Third Hokage and the others was somewhat inappropriate?"

"Is this detrimental to harmony within the family and the village?"

Seeing Fugaku's constipated expression, Toshiro blurted out what he wanted to say.

"Do you think I shouldn't keep bringing up Danzo's matter?"

"We should definitely not use this incident to try and obtain the Flying Thunder God Technique, should we?"

Seeing that Uchiha Butsuke remained silent, Toshiro continued, "Are you more worried that those in the clans, after learning that I have mastered Sage Mode, will harbor some unwarranted ambitions?"

He knew perfectly well what the other person was up to, since they had only come with one person this time.

"The founding of Konoha also involved the Uchiha clan, and maintaining the village's peace and prosperity is also our duty as the Uchiha."

Faced with Toshiro's question, Fugaku Uchiha did not evade it, but instead expressed his inner thoughts.

"If we continue to maintain this state of mutual distrust with the village's higher-ups, it won't be a good thing for the Uchiha..."

At this point, Fugaku glanced at Toshiro's expression, trying to gauge the latter's attitude towards his words.

To her disappointment, Toshiro's face remained expressionless. Left with no other option, he continued, "Uchiha are ultimately part of Konoha. Maintaining harmony within the clan and among the village's leadership is essential for both the village and the clan."

"They certainly have a strong sense of ownership!"

"That's certainly the logic, and that's what the clan leaders have always done, but what was the result?"

"For decades, you've tried your best to maintain relations with the village's leadership, but what did they do when the Nine-Tails appeared?"

When he saw Fugaku Uchiha, he still acted as if he was prioritizing the big picture. Sometimes, Toshiro really didn't know where the other man got this sense of ownership.

The other party doesn't consider you one of their own at all!

"The path taken by the previous generations of clan leaders was already a dead end. As the clan leader, it's time for you to consider how the clan should interact with the common people, ninjas, and high-ranking officials of Konoha."

"And to achieve this, strength is the most indispensable thing."

"How to interact with the villagers, ninjas, and high-ranking officials..."

After listening to Toshiro's words, Fugaku Uchiha fell into deep thought.

Since the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, he hasn't had a good night's sleep; he's been sleepless all night.

The false relationship that had been tacitly maintained between the family and the village, and between them and the village's higher-ups, was now completely exposed.

Faced with a large group of ninjas in the village and those high-ranking officials who did not trust him, he had no idea where his clan's future would lead.

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha deep in thought, Toshiro didn't disturb him. He had obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique, which could be considered an insurance policy for his clan.

Regardless of how the Third Hokage and the higher-ups of Konoha intend to handle their relationship with the Uchiha clan, they must carefully consider their stance before taking any action.

Otherwise, if things go wrong and he becomes a future problem, it could be a huge trouble.

At the same time, he wasn't worried that the village might have any ill intentions towards him at this time. He had just turned the tide and stopped the Nine-Tails' rampage, so even if the village wanted to deal with him, they would have to wait a while.

However, now that he has the Flying Thunder God Technique in his hands, as long as the village cannot confirm that he has not learned this ninjutsu, they will not dare to do anything excessive in the future.

Although there is no immediate danger, Toshiro couldn't help but feel a headache coming on when he thought about the upcoming Fourth Shinobi World War.

Obito and Madara, their own two "hidden dragons and phoenix chicks," were completely outmaneuvered by Black Zetsu, triggering a new Shinobi World War and nearly destroying the entire shinobi world.

The thought of dealing with the Third Hokage completely killed his interest.

That will be the real crisis for my family. How difficult it will be for a family that almost destroyed the whole world to survive?

In the ninja world, there's no such thing as "family members shouldn't be implicated in misfortune."

Compared to the five great ninja villages they will face in the future, and the common hostility of the entire ninja world, the petty actions of the Konoha leadership are simply insignificant.

Moreover, an even more troublesome problem lies with Black Zetsu. As long as this number one "filial son" in the world is alive, the Uchiha clan will never have a peaceful day.

However, this kind of old fox who has been lying low for thousands of years doesn't have a good way to kill the other party in one go.

Nobody knows if the other side has something up their sleeve somewhere.

Do we have to wait until Kaguya comes out and then seal her away to another world again?

With these random thoughts swirling in his mind, Toshiro bid farewell to the somber-looking Fugaku Uchiha. He had no time to concern himself with things that hadn't even happened yet.

Compared to this, the Flying Thunder God Technique is more likely to attract his attention.

He needed to confirm whether the contents of this scroll were genuine. He wouldn't be surprised at all if the Third Hokage had tampered with it.

However, he cannot give up the Flying Thunder God Technique because of this.

He didn't think he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to achieve the same effects as Minato Namikaze and the Second Hokage, but using it to avoid certain fatal traps in critical situations, or for escaping, would be quite useful.

"It seems... there's nothing wrong with it!"

At Toshiro Uchiha's home, holding the scroll containing the Flying Thunder God Technique, Toshiro skimmed through its contents but found nothing amiss.

The content recorded above, although lacking annotations from the Second and Fourth Hokage, only contains some basic training principles and information.

"Am I overthinking it? Is the Third Hokage actually very trustworthy?"

His actions put him in a difficult position, and he dared not easily attempt the Flying Thunder God Technique, which cultivators had worked so hard to acquire.

"How about we postpone it for now and try to activate the Kaleidoscope and develop and utilize the White Zetsu cells?"
