Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 321 Young Woman

He bid farewell to the Third Hokage.

Instead of returning to Konoha Prison, Toshiro ordered a bowl of ramen at Ichiraku Ramen to satisfy his hunger.

"Have you heard? Another ninja has recently gone missing!"

"Looks like he's still a Chunin!"

A deliberately lowered voice reached Toshiro's ears.

This made him stop what he was doing while eating ramen.

"I heard the police haven't found the killer either. I think we should be careful and not wander around at night."

In recent months, Konoha has been reporting one or two missing persons cases to the Uchiha Police Force from time to time. How could Toshiro be completely unaware of this!

This is one of the reasons why he said those words to the Third Hokage. As the Hokage, how could he be completely unaware of the situation?

However, whether out of guilt or some other emotion, he did not delve into the matter further.

This led Orochimaru to become increasingly unscrupulous.

At first, there were only a few civilians going missing, but now, every now and then, one or two active ninjas are captured by this guy to be experimented on.

I don't know if this guy did it on purpose.

To say that Orochimaru doesn't know the saying "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow" is something I would never believe.

However, he still did it, which is interesting, and the Third Hokage's attitude was also very ambiguous. It was as if he had never known about this matter.

"Hmph~"

With a light hum, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage, but Toshiro didn't dwell on it.

"Chie, does the security forces have any updates on the recent missing persons cases?"

"Pay special attention to the movements at the Hokage Building!"

Back in his office, Toshiro immediately asked his secretary.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since Uchiha Mika went to his place to urge him to get married, his secretary seemed to be avoiding him.

"A missing person case? Toshiro... It seems the Hokage's direct ANBU has already started investigating this!"

"Has an investigation already begun? If so, have them pay closer attention to the movements of this secret unit."

"Hmm! If Kakashi Hatake is among them, keep a close eye on him!"

If I remember correctly, Kakashi was the one who handled this matter. If we follow this line closely, finding Orochimaru shouldn't be a problem.

He has now awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and is no longer at risk of going blind, but if he wants to further improve his strength, he still needs some things from Orochimaru.

He already has a comprehensive plan for improving his strength in the future.

"yes!"

After saying that, Uchiha Chie left Toshiro's office as if she were fleeing.

'Could it be... that Sister Meixiang contacted the other party?'

Watching the other person flee in disarray, Toshiro felt a headache coming on. Recently, Mika had been pressuring him to get married more and more frequently, which was giving him a real headache.

No, the ninja world is so big, he hasn't even had a proper look around yet, how can he get stuck in the village because of a young widow?

The outside world is still very big.

……

"It's now confirmed that...whoever did all this!"

In the Hokage's office, an Anbu member, kneeling on the ground, handed a document to the Third Hokage and waited silently for his orders.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Thank you for your hard work. You can go now. I understand about this matter!"

With a wave of his hand, the Third Hokage dismissed the dutiful ANBU member and leaned back in his chair, somewhat listlessly, lost in distant memories.

After a long time had passed, he seemed to snap out of his reverie and waved.

"What can I do for you?"

Another member of the secret service appeared and spoke respectfully.

"Compile a list of ninjas who previously had close ties with Orochimaru, and assign personnel to monitor their every move!"

"As for Orochimaru..."

He didn't say anything over there, but as his personal bodyguard, the other party had already fully understood his meaning.

Without saying much, he simply took his leave.

The next night.

"Toshiro! Toshiro! You've made progress in the missing persons case we've been following!"

A knock came from outside Toshiro's house, and the person who came in was his secretary, Uchiha Chie.

"It's Chie!"

With a creak, the door opened, and Uchiha Chie stepped into Toshiro's house.

"Was this a message from the security forces, or a notification from the Hokage Building?"

With a simple white bath towel wrapped around his waist, Toshiro casually came out to greet his guests.

"You..."

As a married woman, Uchiha Chie was no stranger to seeing naked men, let alone being a ninja.

But at this time, in the dead of night, alone with him, and with him acting like this, her heart was still pounding.

Thinking of what Uchiha Mika had said to her before, her face turned red instantly, and she didn't even dare to look Toshiro in the eye.

"It's...it's a report from the Hokage Building!"

"Also, we received news from the security forces that Kakashi Hatake, whom you asked to keep an eye on, has already set off to apprehend the main culprit in this disappearance case."

Looking at his subordinate who had arrived late at night, Toshiro seemed to be getting restless, even after a long period of meditation.

She usually wears a green ninja vest, unlike now.

Petite and elegant, she wore an exquisite kimono that perfectly accentuated her curves. Her just-right fullness made her figure look both healthy and sexy.

She possessed a dignified appearance and exquisite features. Her jet-black hair was gently tied up, and her gentle eyes revealed a hint of shyness. On her fair, jade-like face, her delicate features were as exquisite as fine porcelain.

Her skin was fair and delicate, like flower petals washed by morning dew, radiating a natural glow. Her slightly flushed cheeks, like ripe peaches, shone with a soft sheen under the light, exuding a shy warmth.

With her head bowed, her delicate nose and slightly parted lips accentuated her snow-white skin, making her resemble a finely sculpted sculpture, exuding a unique charm of a young woman.

Her figure and appearance were outstanding; just standing there was enough to make Toshiro's heart flutter.

This cabbage is practically handed to me... if I leave it unattended... it seems like I'll be struck by lightning!

"...Chie!"

He reached out his right hand and gently lifted the other woman's chin. Looking at the increasingly rosy-cheeked and alluring young woman, Toshiro couldn't help but sigh.

Prime Minister Cao had a good eye for aesthetics! There was a reason why he killed his favorite general and his own son with a single cannon shot.
