Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 381 Hints

Just as Toshiro was making a deal with Gaara.

In a secluded building in Sunagakure, a whirlwind less than half a meter in diameter blew in through the open door.

As a light dust storm arose, a slender figure emerged from the whirlwind.

"Sha Gui, is this the place you arranged? You're really going to be careful!"

As soon as she appeared, a clear female voice rang out, and she began to look around at her surroundings.

This is inside the village of Sunagakure, and it's also a location near the Kazekage's office, a pretty good location.

What's even more remarkable is that you can actually see everything happening at the Fengying Building not far away through the window of this house.

"This collaboration is mutually beneficial... How are your preparations going?"

Facing Sha Gui, whom she had met once before, Ye Cang showed no politeness whatsoever. As soon as she spoke, her usual arrogant attitude was on full display, completely behaving like she was dealing with a subordinate.

"Yakura...you haven't changed at all, just like before!"

"We're almost ready here, and we'll proceed according to plan once night falls."

Looking at Ye Cang standing by the window, Sha Gui narrowed her eyes. Even after suffering such a great loss, this woman still maintained such an arrogant attitude.

It really is...

He winked at his companion.

The Jonin named Asato touched his ninja tool pouch, winked at Saki, and then gave a meaningful smile.

"Ye Cang, assassinating the Wind Shadow is no small matter. We should be cautious. Is there anything else you need to prepare?"

Seeing that Yecang had been staring blankly at the Fengying Building in the distance ever since he entered the house, Sha Gui worried that he might waver at this crucial moment, so he brought out tonight's plan to distract him.

Such simple-minded ninjas often do unexpected things after being backstabbed.

For example, Yecang, after being betrayed, actually started seeking cooperation with these 'mountains' he used to look down on, to assassinate Rasa together, which was quite unexpected.

"This child is..."

Seeing that Yekura hadn't moved for a long time, Sha Gui came to Yekura's side, intending to urge him to hurry up and get to the point.

However, following Yekura's gaze, she saw a short-haired little girl wearing a Sand Ninja headband walk into the Kazekage Building.

"If I remember correctly, this should be one of your subordinates in the village, Yecang!"

"What a lovely child... Why didn't you visit your disciple this time you came back?"

Just by glancing at the child's back, Sha Gui recognized the person from before, if he remembered correctly.

That child's name should be Masaki!

"No need. I'm no longer a hero of Sunagakure; I'm just a rogue ninja. There's no need for me to see these insignificant people!"

Reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, Ye Cang focused his attention on tonight's operation.

"Leave the assassination of Luo Sha to me, but you will be the ones to stabilize the situation afterwards."

Are you sure you can do this?

Ever since she was betrayed, she had been holding her breath, unable to swallow her anger. Especially after hearing that she had been identified as a rogue ninja by Rasa, she became even more determined to take revenge.

However, although she wanted revenge, the ordinary people in the village and some lower-ranking ninjas were innocent.

After much deliberation, she finally made up her mind to contact Sha Gui, with whom she had had previous contact.

With the people behind the other side and their allies, stabilizing the situation after Luo Sha's death would not be a problem.

"Don't worry, the power behind us is beyond your imagination. As long as Rasa is dead, we can begin to restore Pakura's reputation as a Jonin."

"Then you can openly and legitimately visit your disciples!"

Sha Gui emphasized the words "Jonin" in particular.

This was after Yekura approached them and proposed cooperation, which their leader readily agreed to.

Of course, this happened after the other party killed Rasa.

"Is that so? That would be perfect!"

Upon hearing these words, Ye Cang turned around, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

He seems to care a great deal about restoring his reputation.

At this time, Toshiro was completely unaware of all of this.

He was holding a tissue in his hand, constantly wiping the blood that had spilled from the corner of his eyes.

"I never imagined that planting a long-lasting suggestion in Shukaku would require so much ocular power!"

"Luckily, my eyes have undergone some kind of enhancement, otherwise I probably would have been in serious trouble!"

After putting a few drops of green fluorescent eye drops into his eyes, Toshiro finally felt some relief.

"Are you...are you alright?"

Gaara only felt that he had been stunned for a moment, and then he saw blood dripping from the other person's eyes, and he was at a loss for what to do.

"fine!"

In response to Gaara's concern, Toshiro casually tossed a colorful gemstone pendant to Gaara.

"Take this! Whenever you want to get a good night's sleep, take this out and wave it in front of your eyes. Shukaku inside you will fall into a deep sleep and won't try to take control of your body while you're asleep."

He really went all out this time, using his Mangekyou Sharingan to give Shukaku a psychological suggestion.

The other person now falls asleep for several hours whenever they see this swaying gemstone pendant.

"Really?"

Gaara caught the pendant that Toshiro tossed to him, looked at the multicolored light emanating from it, and held it tightly in his hand.

"Of course, but... everything has its limits!"

"The effect of this pendant will gradually weaken over time and with each use."

"In the end, you'll be left to deal with Shukaku's harassment all by yourself!"

There's nothing that can be done about it; every hint has its limits, even if he's now close to having the kaleidoscope of eternal vision.

If Gaara uses it sparingly, the pendant will lose its effect by the time Gaara is in his teens.

If the other person uses it frequently, it will probably be useless before they turn ten.

"…Thanks!"

When Gaara said those words, his voice was no longer hoarse; it seemed to have become more vibrant. Even his face, which had become somewhat pale due to prolonged insomnia, had become slightly rosier.

I don't know if it was because I knew my mother was always by my side, or because I could finally get some sleep!
