Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 368 Nonsense

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing his comrade's ninjutsu successfully draw the enemy's attention.

If he doesn't take this opportunity to rescue the Raikage, he's not Tsuchikage anymore.

puff!

With a surge of strength in his arm, he pulled the Raikage away from Toshiro's chakra sword and then stood in front of him to protect him.

Once the chakra sword was removed, the Raikage's piercing wound inevitably began to bleed, causing Tsuchikage's brows to twitch in dismay.

"It's not that easy!"

Seeing that his prey had been rescued, Toshiro was not about to let his opponent succeed so easily.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

With a spit, a massive orange-red fireball hurtled towards the earthen platform. Only then did Toshiro turn around to deal with the projectile attacks launched by Darui and another unknown Cloud Ninja.

"Oh no...this is it!"

Tsuchida was surprised that Toshiro would just open his mouth and utter a ninjutsu without even having to form hand seals.

He had already exerted all his strength in his actions just now, and what's more troublesome is that he's now blocking the Raikage's path. If he were to dodge...

However, Toshiro had no time to deal with this guy right now, as Darui's Storm Release was a bloodline limit, and its power was quite extraordinary.

All he could do was swing his longsword and knock the storm beams and thrown weapons to the ground.

"Storm Release, as expected, is a ninjutsu with excellent penetrating power!"

Just by swinging his sword to defend, Toshiro could tell from the force in his hand that Darui's attacks were not comparable to ordinary ninjutsu, and couldn't help but praise him.

Darui, who was opposite him, was in no mood to flatter Toshiro at this moment.

His usual lazy demeanor vanished, and he stared intently at the direction of Toshiro's fireball attack.

"Very good!"

Seeing the Raikage, whose body was covered in blue lightning armor, use his towering figure to block Toshiro's ninjutsu.

Darui breathed a sigh of relief, then felt completely exhausted.

The Storm Release technique is still a bit too early for him right now. He wouldn't have used it now if he wasn't in a hurry to rescue the Raikage.

"Lord Raikage, are you alright?!"

Seeing the Raikage standing in front of him, Tsuchikage was moved, but he also began to worry about A's injuries.

Leaving aside the wounds that spread from the Raikage's left shoulder to his right hip, these are all superficial injuries. The real problem is the penetrating wound in his chest.

With his Lava Release blocking the way, Toshiro's thrust was deflected, and with the Raikage's own efforts, the attack aimed at the wound in his heart and finally pierced through his lung.

However, under these circumstances, the Raikage forcibly used chakra to block the Great Fireball Technique, and the situation is now truly worrying.

"I'm fine!"

After reassuring his subordinates, the Raikage ignored his own wounds and turned his gaze to Toshiro and Killer Bee beside him, his expression extremely solemn.

He knew that getting out of there safely today wouldn't be so easy.

Swipe!

Two soft sounds.

Darui, who had just appeared, and the unknown Cloud Ninja, both stood behind the Raikage.

"Oh! Are they going to play four against one?"

Looking at the four people on the other side, Toshiro was not flustered at all, but instead frowned and began to think.

Should I kill the Raikage here?

In that case, a full-scale war between Konoha and Kumogakure would definitely break out.

Should I take this opportunity to rise to the top?

To be honest, the position of Hokage isn't something he, with his past life experience, really values ​​that much.

If it were the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he might consider it. As for the Hokage position, while he wouldn't say he'd throw it away like trash, he wasn't particularly covetous of it either.

After some thought, Toshiro decided to spare his life. If it had happened during the battle, he might have killed him, but now…

Moreover, if they do this, the Uchiha and Konoha may not necessarily benefit; it is more likely that Onoki of the Land of Earth will gain the most.

"Hey! You guys, look at the reinforcements they're getting, and then look at yourselves. Are you still going to play dead?"

Toshiro didn't rush to express his opinion, but instead turned his gaze to a grove of trees on the shore.

"Haha! I didn't expect the Uchiha Jonin to discover us so quickly?"

Those who appeared were none other than Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi, the three heads of the three Hokage clans.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Shikaku left the camp to others and came to check on the situation with Choza and Inoichi.

Upon arriving, he was shocked to see Toshiro stab the Fourth Raikage through with a single sword strike, making his heart leap into his throat.

Seeing that the Cloud Ninja's support had successfully rescued the Raikage, he breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a sense of loss.

Originally, he planned to play dead and quietly observe how things would develop, but he didn't expect that Toshiro would expose his whereabouts, so he had to bring his friends out with him.

"Wow! This is really something!"

"I never expected to run into the Raikage and Tsuchidae, the senior of the Cloud Ninja, in this desolate wilderness. Life is truly amazing!"

Upon appearing, Shikaku greeted the Raikage and Tsuchida very familiarly.

"It seems there was some misunderstanding between the Raikage and the Uchiha Jonin before I arrived!"

Nara Shikaku was very clear about the Third Hokage's thoughts. He first greeted the Raikage and Tsuchida on the other side, and then characterized the matter as a misunderstanding.

"A misunderstanding? Your family had a misunderstanding that escalated to this point?"

Hearing Shikaku's nonsense, Toshiro rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain that these guys from the Hokage lineage were really good at talking, and could even turn black into white.

"..."

Not to mention Toshiro, even the Raikage on the other side almost lost control of his injuries after hearing Shikaku's words, exclaiming that he had learned something new.

However, he knew that he was not in a good position, so he gave a wink to the earthen platform next to him and then remained silent.

"Yes! My Mukumo-nin and Konoha have been allies as close as family since the time of the Second Hokage."

"This was just a minor accident. The Jinchuriki couldn't control their emotions. Once we bring them back to Kumogakure and reinforce the seal, this kind of accident shouldn't happen again."

"We also want to thank this Uchiha Jonin for helping us control the rampaging Jinchuriki. Afterwards, we, the Cloud Ninja, will definitely send a letter to the Third Hokage to express our sincere gratitude!"

From the moment he opened his mouth, this Tsuchidai showed Toshiro another side of the Cloud Ninja.
