Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 385 Maki

"You're really not going to hide?"

The shop door had already been knocked on, and if nothing unexpected happened, the next thing to happen was a loud bang as the door was kicked open.

Then a large group of Sand Ninjas filed in.

While reminding Yekura on the other side, Toshiro didn't sit idle either, and began looking for his own clothes.

He was only wearing his underwear because he had just had a sand bath and a massage. What would happen if a fight broke out later?

Ding ding ding!

Just as Toshiro finished dressing and was preparing to deal with the Sand Ninja, a strange fighting sound came from the doorway.

Along with that came loud questions and doubts.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us!"

This wasn't just a question from the person who was attacked, but also from Toshiro; he was still wondering about it.

Are all the Sand Village ninjas so perplexing? Before they've even done anything, the Sand Village ninjas are already fighting amongst themselves.

"The Kazekage himself has ordered that all ninjas who have acted without authorization surrender on the spot, and anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot!"

With his excellent hearing, Toshiro recognized the voice as coming from a middle-aged man, who was clearly the leader of the group of Sand Ninja that later appeared.

"Nonsense! The Wind Shadow has clearly already..."

"Don't listen to him, everyone! This guy's trying to take advantage of the chaos!"

I saw the Kazekage's corpse with my own eyes. Where did these guys who suddenly appeared get the Kazekage's orders?

That's utter nonsense.

"Stubborn to the end!"

"Hold your guns tight, kill any who resist on the spot!"

The person who arrived gave the order very decisively.

He has a lot to do tonight, he doesn't have time to waste on these people.

If the other party were sensible, sparing their lives wouldn't be out of the question. But since they were so stubborn, he had no reason to hesitate.

"Ah! You guys~"

As negotiations failed, the fighting in front of them intensified, and it began to spread slowly from the front yard toward here.

"Maybe we should find somewhere to hide first!"

Seeing that the attack was about to come from the front, Toshiro was helpless. Not only were these Sand Ninjas crazy, but there was also this woman, Pakura.

What's with this calm and unhurried attitude?

He was somewhat confused about what was going on today.

Seeing this, Ye Cang did not insist any further. After cleaning up the traces on the ground, he and the proprietress hid in a corner.

Judging from their appearance, someone who didn't know better would think they were ordinary civilians caught in the crossfire of a ninja battle. Even the proprietress acted quite realistically.

"Women are truly born actresses!"

After complaining about Yekura's fickleness, Toshiro didn't stop what he was doing. He scurried over to the two of them and pretended to be a passerby.

"Get out of my way!"

As Toshiro approached, Yokura seemed to have aggravated her wounds, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Then, with a dark expression, he said in a low voice.

"Don't be so loud, the people outside are about to come in!"

He was not intimidated by Ye Cang's words. Instead of moving further away, he intensified his efforts and moved closer to Ye Cang.

Even when the Sand Ninjas were about to enter during the battle, he reached out and pulled Pakura into his arms.

"You..."

Ye Cang was about to turn hostile, but just before she could, two figures stumbled and fled into the backyard where they were.

Yekura's words were stuck in her throat.

"Stop resisting! Lord Kazekage has seen through your plot!"

"If you surrender, the Kazekage might spare your lives, considering you're all Sand Ninja!"

Accompanying the two Sand Ninja were several Sand Ninja dressed as Anbu members, among whom the leader was none other than Maki, a trusted subordinate of the Kazekage.

Seemingly considering that both were Sand Ninja, or perhaps wanting to preserve some of the village's strength, Maki, looking at these two Sand Ninja who had no other options, made a final effort.

"Don't lie to us. Those of us who belong to the opposition will only face death if we surrender!"

"Luo Sha won't let us go! We might as well kill one more than we lose!"

Seemingly to demonstrate their resolve, one of the Sand Ninja pulled out a large stack of explosive tags from his ninja tool bag after saying these words.

Seeing this, Toshiro and Yoshiro frowned; the explosion really was real.

With such a large stack of explosive tags exploding together, it was clearly impossible for the two of them to continue hiding to the side pretending to be passersby.

"Calm down!"

Seeing this, even the Anbu members facing these Sand Ninja head-on became somewhat wary. Maki, in particular, was so angry that his face twitched uncontrollably.

I shouldn't have given these people a chance to repent.

"Both the borders of the Land of Water and the Land of Earth are in dire need of manpower. Although you are the opposition, you are not among their core leaders. That guy has already been killed by us!"

"The Wind Shadow will give you a chance to atone for your sins!"

These guys may look tough on the outside but are actually weak on the inside. If you don't give them a chance to survive, they might actually try to take you down with them.

As for whether the Wind Shadow will give these guys a chance, that depends on Luo Sha's mood.

Even so, it's just a matter of dying sooner or later.

"Given our status, if we went to the front lines, we'd definitely be on the most dangerous missions, and it wouldn't be long before we were all dead!"

One of the Sand Ninja, seeing that things were turning around, hesitated for a moment, then gripped the explosive tag in his hand again, seemingly intending to continue resisting.

"You bastard!"

Ignoring Toshiro, Yoru, and the other two standing to the side, Maki had a headache. If the other side continued to act this way, they might suffer some casualties as well.

As for Toshiro and the others standing to the side, they were not even within his consideration. Ordinary people who got involved in ninja battles rarely ended up well.

They were either caught in the crossfire of ninjutsu or made to suffer a fate worse than death by ninjas who came to gather intelligence.

Although they are from their own village and won't face any further trouble, once the explosive tag detonates, none of them will escape.

"etc…"

Just as Maki was preparing to launch a strong attack with his subordinates, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned his attention back to the murderer who was pretending to die with him.

"Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"Although the mortality rate for missions in the front-line camps is extremely high, there is still a glimmer of hope!"

This guy on the other side is really something... Even at this point, he's still trying to negotiate with me. He's quite the... talent.
