Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 332 Ambush

Watching the busy Mist Ninja, Toshiro began to think about how he should sabotage the 'peace talks' between the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja.

This was also one of the requirements for his mission.

Konoha did not want the Mist Ninja and the Sand Ninja to stop fighting at this time. If possible, he would do nothing but sabotage the peace talks between the two sides.

He hadn't yet come up with a solution.

Through the gaps in the tree canopy, deep within this white mist, a graceful figure appeared and disappeared amidst the fog.

The person who arrived was indeed Ye Cang.

Compared to when she met him in Sunagakure three or four years ago, she had hardly changed at all.

A pair of long, fair, and eye-catching legs, a short black dress that only reaches above the knees, paired with a white belt, and a sight that is unforgettable.

The most crucial element was her beautiful back, which subtly shimmered with a fleshy sheen.

She's as proud as ever!

Looking at the other person's slightly raised chin and slightly forward-leaning posture, and the aura that could be felt even from a hundred meters away, it was clear that the other person had every reason to be proud, both in terms of strength and appearance.

"Are you the Jonin Pakura from Sunagakure who's here to negotiate? This way, please~"

Upon seeing that the person they were waiting for had appeared, a young male ninja from the Mist Ninja side came out to greet this "guest" who had come from afar.

"Um!"

Upon seeing the Mist Ninja's backup, Yekura nodded, walked past them, and proceeded forward.

puff!

"Why...why?"

"This time...this time we're not here to discuss a ceasefire, are we?"

Looking at the kunai piercing his back, Yecang turned his head with difficulty and looked at the Mist Ninja who had just been smiling at him, and voiced his doubts.

"Alright, the target is injured, kill him!"

Having successfully launched a sneak attack, the Mist Ninja left Pakura's side without any hesitation.

Then, a barrage of kunai rained down on the already severely wounded Yekura.

"Heh heh! It is indeed a ceasefire... but... you, the one who killed countless Kirigakure comrades, are the one we Kirigakure demand for a ceasefire!"

Seeing the incredulous expression on her face, the Mist Ninja didn't forget to explain to her, seemingly intending to let her die knowing the truth.

It also seemed as if they wanted to see what kind of interesting expression the other person would make when they learned that they had been betrayed by the village they had always loved before they died.

"I see!"

Hearing the faint voice of the mist ninja, Yekura understood everything, but it was all in vain.

As a Sand Village ninja, she relied entirely on her own efforts and talent to gradually rise from an ordinary civilian ninja to become the 'Scorching Release Master' she is today. Pakura's love for the village is undoubtedly pure.

He disregarded the numerous factions in the village and the power struggles among the higher-ups, focusing solely on strengthening his own power and contributing his share to the village. He never imagined that he would one day fall into his current predicament.

It's not surprising that the village betrayed us at this point.

"What a pity, such a beautiful woman, if only... hehe!"

A large group of Mist Ninja were gathered around Pakura, discussing the beautiful woman. Someone uttered this exclamation, which was quickly echoed by all the Mist Ninja present.

"Yes! Such a great beauty, killed by your treacherous schemes... it's truly a pity!"

Just then, an unfamiliar voice came from all directions, causing the faces of the Mist Ninja present to change drastically.

"Who is it?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Mist Ninja immediately drew their weapons and began looking around, searching for the enemy who had made the sound.

Unfortunately, apart from wisps of thick white fog, nothing was found in the surrounding area.

"Let's get rid of this woman completely first!"

A quick-thinking Mist Ninja immediately suggested that since the other party had said that, attacking this woman who was still breathing was the best way to force the enemy to show themselves.

"That won't do! If I do that, I'll lose an acquaintance!"

"You know, in this ninja world, it's not easy to find someone you know from another village... especially when that person is a stunning beauty~"

Yekura's condition is extremely critical; if she doesn't receive immediate treatment, she will likely die from excessive blood loss.

"Wind Release: Sandstorm"

Without hesitation, a massive sandstorm erupted, filling the surrounding area with dust and making the already foggy valley even darker.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough in Sandstorm"

"Wind Release: Whirlwind Slash"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"

A series of wind-style ninjutsu attacks were launched at the unprepared mist ninja, leaving them in a sorry state.

He doesn't even plan to show his face this time, so it's good that these Mist Ninja and Sand Ninja are suspicious of each other.

"Ah! It's the Sand Village ninja... This time it's a trap!"

Since his intention was to disrupt the other side's peace talks, Toshiro naturally used the more recognizable Sand Village ninjutsu, which was not a problem for him at all.

"Quickly... pass the information out!"

Seeing the Mist Ninjas trying to break through, Toshiro didn't kill them all. While they were disoriented, he drew a large bird and carried Pakura into the sky.

The most important thing now is to save that stupid woman, Yecang.

Those Mist Ninja acted far too quickly. They attacked Pakura without even exchanging a few words, catching Toshiro, who had wanted to warn Pakura beforehand, completely off guard.

Moreover, this woman is incredibly naive. Doesn't she have any idea how many Mist Ninja she has killed?

Even if the Wind Shadow sent you here to negotiate, you should at least be a little cautious! To be so easily ambushed like that, if it weren't for the fact that he, as an acquaintance, still remembered this scene, this woman would probably be really done for this time.

"Tsk tsk tsk! These Mist Ninja truly live up to their name as the Village of the Bloody Mist. They can even bring themselves to harm such a beautiful woman. They're really ruthless!"

"Why did you have to aim for Yekura's beautiful back? What a waste!"

Toshiro created a shadow clone to help sustain Yekura's life, plucking the kunai off her back one by one. Looking at her bloodied and mangled back, Toshiro sighed deeply.

I wonder if this treatment will leave a scar; it would be a shame if it did.

"Who...are you?"

"Why...did you save me?!"

Just as Toshiro and his shadow clone were healing the other, Yokura regained some of her senses, seemingly because the kunai on her back had been pulled out.

He opened his mouth and made a faint sound, but it was quickly drowned out by the strong wind blowing from high above.
