Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 387 Amy

"Oh, right!"

When the topic of drugging came up, Amy looked in Toshiro's direction.

"Are you... alright?"

The first time I used those sleeping pills mixed in with seasonings, I gave up. They were only good for dealing with ordinary people or weak ninjas.

However, the second batch contained a mixed drug that could knock out even an elephant.

What do you think?

Seeing the gaze directed at him, Toshiro smiled and looked at Emika with amusement.

He knew the proprietress was a ninja the moment he saw her. However, he was also skilled and daring, and simply walked into her shop.

I want to see what a unique experience it would be to run a ninja inn.

Unexpectedly, the other party did indeed give me a pleasant surprise.

When the other party served the grilled meat, he noticed something fishy. After all, he had studied brain-stimulating drugs for a long time and had some knowledge of pharmacology.

However, given his current physical condition, this kind of painless and ineffective drug has no effect whatsoever. He doesn't even need to pay special attention to it; his body simply ignores it through its metabolism.

As for the mixed sedatives the other party prepared a second time, it only made him slightly dizzy. Compared to that, the other party's massage techniques were even more intoxicating.

"You...you knew all along?"

Upon seeing the expression on the other person's face, Amy realized that she had been tricked and that the other person had taken advantage of her.

"Hmph~"

However, she didn't lose her composure too much.

However, I felt a little down.

"Seriously, my disguise was so obvious, how did you spot the problem at a glance?"

Speaking of this, Toshiro was a little puzzled. There shouldn't be anything wrong with his outfit!

How come this proprietress recognized me so quickly that I wasn't a traveling merchant?

"And... you're a ninja, and while your strength isn't anything special, how did you end up running an inn?"

"Amyka's father was a merchant, so she knows this kind of business very well. You certainly can't fool her!"

After Toshiro asked his question, Emika's expression turned somewhat gloomy, so Yokura answered Toshiro on behalf of her companion.

"As for why she opened a hotel here, it's probably because of what I did."

"Sorry~"

Just by looking at the other person's expression, Toshiro knew that the other person's father must have passed away, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly changed his expression.

"It's okay, it's all over now."

Emika accepted Toshiro's apology quite readily, but she wasn't too sad, since it had been a long time since the incident.

As for her being implicated by Yekura and having to retire from active ninja duty, leaving her only able to run a hotel here to make a living, that was not even mentioned.

"Amyka, it's all my fault that you've been dragged into this."

"If you hadn't kept asking about me, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

Although the other party did not mention it, Yekura still felt somewhat guilty.

"It's okay. I'm not as talented as you. At best, I'm just an elite Chunin."

"I've long wanted to quit being a ninja, and this is the perfect opportunity!"

Amyka wasn't lying. Her talent was average, and she was the daughter of a merchant with no family heritage whatsoever.

I was able to become an elite Chunin thanks to Pakura's help, which allowed me to master a few decent Wind Release ninjutsu techniques.

Otherwise, a Chunin would be her limit.

As for becoming a ninja.

Compared to this, she yearns for the outside world even more. It's just that she's been restricted from leaving recently, otherwise, she wouldn't be staying in Sunagakure.

While Toshiro, Yekura, and her friends were chatting, in the Kazekage's office, Rasa was looking at the report in his hand, his face extremely dark.

This group really went all out this time.

Immediately after his 'assassination,' people from every department in Sunagakure jumped out to defend him.

The reasons could be varied, such as stabilizing the situation, seeking to seize power, or simply trying to gain influence.

"That woman, Yekura... she's really insane!"

Thinking of the bloodshed that Sunagakure was about to experience, Rasa couldn't help but look at the intelligence report in his hand.

This was delivered to him by the other party's disciple just before he was about to leave work this afternoon.

Fortunately, I didn't ignore the other party just because he was a genin, nor did I implicate Yekura's disciples and friends too much.

Otherwise, he didn't think the other party would send their disciple to warn him, and even if they did, the situation just now was extremely dangerous.

If I hadn't been well-prepared and hadn't hesitated at all after receiving the intelligence, I probably would have been killed by this woman tonight.

Even if he wins this time, he and "those people" have completely broken off relations. This matter won't be over until they fight to the death.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

"Lord Kazekage, those rebels have all been brought under control. Some resisted stubbornly, but they have been dealt with on the spot by my subordinates!"

Upon entering, Maki knelt down very nervously and gave a detailed report of his actions that evening.

Finally, he didn't forget to remind Luo Sha of something:

"The assassin is still at large. I wonder if we should send our elite forces to hunt down Ye Cang!"

Upon hearing the name Yecang, Luo Sha wished he could immediately send someone to kill the guy who caused tonight's chaos.

However, reason prevailed.

"No!"

"Tonight, the priority is still stabilizing the situation. As for Yekura..."

At this time, the situation in the village was constantly changing. He had extra manpower to go after Ye Cang, but it was not a good idea to just leave it unattended.

"Raise the enemy's danger level to S-rank!"

"Furthermore, closely monitor their every move, and notify all border garrison troops and frontline personnel to be on high alert!"

He was on high alert, but it was unclear whether he was wary of Yekura, the high-ranking Sand Village officials who had already broken ties with him, or their cronies.

"Fine! Take a group of reliable men and head to the front lines tonight. We absolutely cannot let anything go wrong there!"

Luo Sha emphasized the importance of having reliable personnel, especially when it came to the topic of manpower.

"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!"

Knowing that the matter instructed by the Kazekage was extremely important, Maki was happy to have gained the Kazekage's trust, but at the same time, he began to worry about the future of Sunagakure.

However, after glancing at Rasa sitting in the Kazekage's seat, Maki didn't dwell on these things.

These are all things that the Wind Shadow needs to consider.
