Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 348 Nara Shikaku

Rumble!

With a series of loud bangs, the massive body of the beast fell into the nearby woods.

The weight of the trees around it broke their branches and leaves.

"This... is this the Uchiha Toshiro that the Hokage asked us to observe?"

Two ANBU members who had escaped the attack in the distance both cleared their dry throats and swallowed.

The thought of reporting the other party's information to the Hokage later made the two of them exchange a glance, both feeling a chill run down their spines.

They were not ordinary, unsophisticated ninjas; they were all elite members of the ANBU.

But the punch their opponent had just thrown still made their hearts skip a beat.

If you report on someone like that and they find out, you're probably doomed.

"This time we've really hit a brick wall!"

On the other side, upon seeing this scene, Darui did not hesitate at all. He swung his sword and smashed the annoying bird into a puddle of ink. Then, he carried the immobile hope on his back and left the scene without looking back.

This kind of battle is beyond my control; I should just stay alive and go back to report the information to the Raikage.

Taking advantage of Matatabi's momentary lapse in attention, Toshiro, who had knocked him down with a single punch, did not stop there. Instead, he raised his right leg high again and unleashed a tomahawk kick at the still somewhat dizzy Matatabi.

boom!!

Another loud boom resounded, but this time the earth seemed unable to withstand Toshiro's violent power, and trembled twice.

"Meow!"

This time, Youlv was really confused.

Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

Three questions that struck its soul arose in its mind.

Having unleashed his strongest power in his normal state twice in a row, Toshiro felt refreshed and invigorated, as if he had released something he had been accumulating for many years.

"It seems that using one's own eyes as a filter to absorb leukocytes is surprisingly effective!"

Looking at the destructive power of his physical skills, Toshiro was very satisfied. All his years of training and planning had finally paid off.

"Alright! Let's have some fun together... Tabita!"

Seeing that Matatabi had stood up again, Toshiro did not launch another attack, but wanted to see if the other party could bring him any surprises.

He began to understand why his dance king liked to dance so often.

One aspect is the restlessness of one's own bloodline, but more importantly, it's the loneliness that comes from having great strength but not being able to find a suitable opponent for a long time.

"I wonder if the Raikage will react if we arrest this guy?"

Thinking that there was still an AB duo waiting for him on the Cloud Ninja side, Toshiro couldn't contain his excitement. The feeling of finding an opponent and having a good, satisfying battle was quite intoxicating.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the ninja slowly rose to his feet, a great battle between humans and beasts began, and the only ones who could witness this scene were two trembling ANBU ninjas hiding to the side.

They really hoped that it wasn't the two of them who encountered Toshiro this time, so that if Toshiro came looking for trouble later, he wouldn't come after them.

Time passed, and nearly two hours later, at the gate of Konoha's northern camp.

Tōshirō, dressed in tattered clothes, led two cautious ANBU members through the camp gate.

Upon receiving the news, the camp leader quickly arrived in front of Toshiro and lazily began to ask questions.

"Uchiha Jonin... what's going on here?"

Nara Shikaku was somewhat surprised to see Toshiro's bare upper body. He also looked at the two Anbu following behind Toshiro, especially the Cloud Ninja one of them was carrying on his back.

Because of his posture, he couldn't see the other person's face. However... judging from her appearance, she seemed to be a female ninja, but he didn't know who she was.

"Oh! I didn't expect... that the person in charge here is actually Nara, the class representative. What a surprise!"

Looking at Nara Shikaku, who had a pineapple-shaped haircut and several scars on his face, Toshiro gave him a nonchalant greeting.

The other party is an ally of the Sarutobi clan, and has no connection with him, an Uchiha.

"This ninja..."

Seeing Toshiro's attitude, Nara Shikaku didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the female ninja being carried on the back of the Anbu and asked Toshiro.

"It's nothing... I just encountered a lost Jinchūriki on the road and brought him back!"

Toshiro spoke calmly, as if he had just picked up a stray cat while shopping at the market.

"What?"

"This is... the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?"

At this moment, Nara Shikaku could no longer maintain his lazy attitude, and even his speech became somewhat stammering.

Looking at the two masked ANBU members, and receiving an affirmative answer, Shikaku's expression changed drastically as he watched the figure being carried on the ANBU members' backs.

It was as if the other person wasn't carrying the Two-Tails Jinchuriki on their back, but their own wife, which made them feel terrible.

"Uchiha Jonin...do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Watching Toshiro's figure, Shikaku had a headache. He knew that Toshiro had come to intercept the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, but Toshiro's mission was only to intercept him.

It would have been better to drive away the Jinchuriki who had invaded the Land of Fire, but instead, he was asked to bring them back.

"What...what are the consequences?"

Toshiro pretended not to know about Shikaku's question. He was planning to have a good fight with the Raikage brothers. If he didn't bring Yugito back to the Konoha camp, why would the Raikage come over?

"This…"

Seeing Toshiro push everyone away, Shikaku rubbed his forehead, turned around, and shouted towards the camp:

"Communications team...contact the Hokage immediately, I have important information to report!"

"It's extremely urgent!"

At this moment, he was no longer the lazy person he had been just moments before; he appeared extremely anxious.

He knew that things wouldn't unfold as he had originally anticipated. Konoha paid a price and signed a reasonably acceptable peace agreement with the Cloud Ninja.

If things go wrong, the Fourth Shinobi World War could break out again.

"Well! With Nara-sensei here, there shouldn't be any problems. The Two-Tails issue is settled, so I'll leave the rest to you!"

After gesturing for the two ANBU members following behind him to hand Yugito over to Shikaku, Toshiro continued:

"Compared to the camp, I still feel much more comfortable staying in Konoha!"

Brushing the dust off his backside, Toshiro made a move to leave. Judging from his tone, it seemed he intended to hand Yugito over to him directly... and then return to Konoha?
