Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 384 Assassination

"Hello!"

"What exactly did you do? You didn't just kill Rasa, did you?!"

Seeing Yogura calmly tending to her wounds, Toshiro became anxious for her.

It seems another group of pursuers is approaching.

Needless to say, these people were also there to search for Ye Cang's whereabouts.

"How about... you hide for a bit, and I'll cover for you!"

Looking at the obediently silent proprietress, the kunai she had thrown on the ground, and the pursuers getting closer and closer outside, Toshiro had to admit that this woman was really good at keeping her composure.

He didn't seem nervous at all.

"What brings you to Sunagakure?"

Compared to Toshiro's concern about the pursuers outside, Yokura's concern was clearly not that; instead, she looked at Toshiro with a wary gaze.

"With your strength, you wouldn't be wandering around Sunagakure for no reason."

"Tell me... what exactly is your purpose!"

He quickly tended to his injuries, then took a few pills and gave himself an injection.

Yekura held a kunai in each hand, subtly aiming it at Toshiro.

"..."

What time is it? Why did I come to Sunagakure? What does it have to do with you, a rogue ninja?

Although he thought this to himself, Toshiro didn't say it aloud. This woman was clearly the type who loved the village.

"travel!"

Even after giving Yekura a perfunctory reply, Toshiro was already wondering if those people outside were really there to search Yekura.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have time to interrogate herself here.

"What is your relationship with this woman?"

Yokura clearly didn't believe Toshiro's explanation, but she didn't dwell on the matter. Instead, she started asking about his relationship with the shop owner.

"We're just... um!"

"The relationship between the boss and the customer!"

He hadn't planned to explain further, but when he saw the kunai in the other person's hand, Toshiro frowned.

Isn't this woman being a bit too nosy?

If it weren't for the large group of Sand Ninja outside, and the fact that it wasn't appropriate to reveal my identity, I would definitely want to show her how powerful I am.

"Shop owner and customer?"

Yosei Yoshiro didn't believe Toshiro's explanation, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

Judging from their ambiguous posture just now, and the woman's revealing clothing, it's easy to tell that their relationship is not simple.

"Believe it or not... I only came here to stay this afternoon."

"However... I must admit, not all women in Sunagakure are as arrogant as you; there are also women who are passionate and fiery!"

Not long after Yekura entered the inn, in the Kazekage Building, Saki and Asato, who had just ambushed Yekura, were now busy running around.

"Has Yekura still not been caught? Send more men! Yekura is the perfect scapegoat; we absolutely cannot let her escape!"

"Get everyone moving! Take control of the secret police, the upper echelons, and the village patrols!"

"Also, send someone to keep an eye on the Jinchūriki; we can't let anything happen to them!"

He dispatched ninjas one by one. These were the subordinates of his superiors and allies. With these people, plus Yekura as a scapegoat, they controlled the key departments in the village.

Luo Sha will soon be a thing of the past.

By then, I will be able to advance further. And with the leadership of the great leader behind me, Sunagakure will no longer have to rely on Konoha for support.

"You really surprised me, Sha Gui!"

Just as Sha Gui was following his original plan, getting people to take control of the situation and enjoying the future of himself and the village.

A voice he knew all too well rang out from behind him.

"How is that possible? Weren't you already... by Yekura?"

Somewhat mechanically, Sha Gui turned his head to look at the man who had suddenly appeared. His face was ashen, filled with disbelief.

"The body is still here, how could you still be alive?"

As he spoke, Sha Gui turned to look at a withered corpse in the distance.

Like Rasa, the other party was also wearing a long robe that signified his status as Kazekage, but it had become somewhat shriveled due to being hit by Pakura's Scorch Release.

"It's just a substitute, nothing strange about it!"

Luo Sha showed no kindness whatsoever to these two men who plotted to assassinate him.

"These two are plotting to assassinate Feng Ying!"

"Arrest them both. If they dare to resist, just kill them on the spot and keep their heads!"

He immediately ordered the ANBU following behind him to arrest the two men. Instead of feeling relieved that he had escaped, Luo Sha's expression became even more unpleasant.

Today's assassination attempt was quite unusual; these two were merely pawns, utterly insignificant.

"Lord Kazekage, these two are under control. Next..."

A figure with a white cloth wrapped around his head, wearing a Sand Ninja combat uniform, and with face paint on, knelt in front of him, asking for instructions on the next move.

"Detain those who acted suspiciously tonight, and slowly identify the rebels among them. If any disobey orders..."

At this point, Luo Sha hesitated for a moment, then said, "Kill them on the spot!"

There are just too many people jumping out this time. Not counting those who just jumped out from various departments, there are quite a few people who just went to chase after Yekura.

Those who were in charge can be let go of if they die, but there are just too many of those who blindly followed them. For the sake of the village's stability, it's best not to implicate too many others.

"yes!"

Just as the Sand Ninja was about to leave after receiving the Kazekage's order, Rasa called him back.

"Maki!"

After calling out to the other person, Luo Sha took out a list and handed it to them without saying anything.

"..."

Silently accepting the flimsy list, which seemed as if a gentle breeze could blow it away, Maki's expression was more solemn than ever before.

Although Fengying didn't say anything, he understood Fengying's meaning when he saw the first name on the list.

I couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.

Go!

Ignoring his subordinates' expressions, Rasa put on the Kazekage's hat after saying this, hiding his entire face behind the hat flap.

She even wrapped her entire face in a white veil and slowly walked towards her office.

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

Maki twitched his lips slightly, offering no comment on the list Luo Sha had given him. He knew that tonight was just the beginning; those who would die later were merely the subordinates of those people.

When Feng Ying begins to settle scores with them in the coming period, if they are not careful, it could be him and himself who die.
