Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 373 Scroll Ability Killer Bee

In the camp.

Toshiro sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, holding a scroll in his hands and examining it closely.

From the densely packed tiny characters on the scroll and the clan emblem on the back, one can tell that the scroll originated from the Whirlpool Clan.

"The Third Hokage actually kept his word this time!"

After browsing through about half of the contents of the scroll, Toshiro was quite satisfied with its contents.

This time, the Third Hokage didn't tamper with it like he did with the Flying Thunder God Technique. But... what the hell is the Reaper Death Seal?

This scroll actually included this ninjutsu, which surprised him greatly.

Was it because he had seen the Fourth Hokage use this ninjutsu that he didn't remove it from the scroll?

Surely they don't have any other intentions?

This scroll contains very thoughtful details on how to perform this ninjutsu, as well as how to make a contract with the Grim Reaper. It even clearly records things like the Grim Reaper mask being placed in the Uzumaki Namendo.

Moreover, the ink stains were newly added...

There are also the sealing techniques recorded in this scroll.

It was somewhat unexpected for him, yet it also seemed to make perfect sense.

Just as most Uchiha ninjutsu were developed around their family's Fire Release techniques and the Sharingan, most of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques required the Adamantine Sealing Chains, a unique bloodline limit of the Uzumaki clan, to be used.

Even if the training method for this kind of secret technique related to bloodline limits is placed in front of you, you can only stare blankly if you don't have the corresponding bloodline.

Without the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, performing these sealing techniques is extremely difficult. At the very least, the assistance of the Uzumaki clan is required to have any chance of success.

"No wonder the Third Hokage handed the scroll to me so readily this time; there was another reason behind it."

Unlike the Fourth Hokage, he didn't have a wife named Uzumaki who could help him perform these sealing techniques.

"However, he probably doesn't realize that I've already awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and one of its eye techniques can even copy, or rather, learn, other people's abilities!"

Touching his eyes, Toshiro smiled broadly.

Unlike Sasuke or Obito, his eye technique did not undergo intense mental stimulation during its development.

As time went by, he awakened to his true self very smoothly, as if it were all happening naturally.

These two eye techniques are truly unique, leaving him unsure how to describe his abilities.

Neither of them has direct offensive capabilities. One of them can clearly see the chakra composition of another's abilities, understand its structure, and manipulate their own chakra to imitate the other's abilities.

Regardless of the type of bloodline limit, its fundamental components are inseparable from physical and mental energy. Once the structure is understood, it is not impossible to try to replicate it.

Moreover, this ability brings another benefit: he might be able to use it to synthesize the Bloodstained Net and awaken the Rinnegan.

The scope of this imitation includes, but is not limited to, bloodline limits. He has a feeling that as his eyes continue to grow, he will be able to analyze the structure of even eye techniques that belong to the Mangekyou Sharingan, and thus imitate them.

I just need to find an opportunity to witness the King Kong Lockdown firsthand.

There aren't many people in the ninja world with this ability right now. As far as he knows, there's only Kushina from Konoha, Karin and her daughter from the Land of Grass, and Hinoka Uzumaki, who might exist near the Summoning Island.

"It seems I still need to hurry up and find Karin and her daughter. I just don't know if they've used the Vajra Seal!"

Killer Bee was a great opportunity, but unfortunately, patching up the Ironclad Seal was far too easy for Kushina.

There's no need for the Vajra Lock.

After putting away the scrolls in his hands, Toshiro took out another letter and began to read it.

"What a boring political game!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Toshiro curled his lip in disdain.

This letter was written by Fugaku Uchiha, and it details the Third Hokage's change in attitude during the negotiations with the Cloud Ninja.

He emphasized the Third Hokage's policy shift after he and Hiashi made a public appearance together.

This is one of the reasons why he disdains the position of Hokage. Once he reaches that position, he will have to suppress the powerful clans in his own village, make various compromises when negotiating with other villages, and deal with various entanglements with the daimyo. These are all things he will have to face.

Of course, there were benefits too; he gained all sorts of secret techniques and a large number of subordinates. But he knew that becoming a leader meant facing more than just these things.

Otherwise, how could someone like Danzo exist?

Let people with ideals and ambitions handle things like protecting villages!

"Uchiha... Toshiro... play that tune again...!"

"That way... my... new song... will be... even... perfect... YEAH!"

Just as Toshiro put away his scroll and was about to take a stroll around the camp, Killer Bee barged into Toshiro's tent without any regard for the consequences!

Not only did he sing some weird rap, but at the end he also made a flashy gesture with one finger pointing to the sky and his little finger sticking up.

"..."

You idiot, don't you ever say hello before entering or leaving someone else's tent?

Toshiro was helpless against this kind of bull.

Ever since this guy was captured, especially after Kushina personally sealed his chakra, he has shown absolutely no awareness of being a prisoner, and you can see him in the camp from time to time.

One night, Toshiro played "The Mohicans" on his flute, and he stuck to him like a leech.

"Why is this guy wandering around again? Doesn't your clan leader do anything about it?"

Too lazy to talk about that guy, Toshiro turned his attention to the three figures following Killer Bee, especially one of the Nara ninjas.

"I'm so sorry to have caused you this trouble!"

"...Lord Shikaku said that the peace negotiations between the two sides should be finalized soon, and that we don't need to restrict each other's movements too much. As long as he avoids certain sensitive areas, he can move freely within the camp!"

They were helpless too!

Who would have thought that this Jinchūriki of the Cloud Ninja would be such an outgoing person? After spending the last two days with him, they've all lost their temper with him.

In other words, the other party's identity was too sensitive. Not only was he the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but he was also the Raikage's younger brother. They couldn't very well fight with him!
