Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 400 Harvest

After a long time, a gentle breeze blew by, leaving only Toshiro standing there.

Holding the Flying Thunder God Technique, the First Hokage's cells, and scrolls containing the cursed seal, Toshiro was very satisfied with his gains.

He was most satisfied with the first-generation cells, especially.

His eyes are now in a relatively critical state. To make further progress, they need to be nourished with Baijue brand eye drops for a long time.

Having obtained the first generation of white blood cells, I can now upgrade my eye drops.

Moreover, when Orochimaru left, he didn't even take his own Kusanagi sword. It wasn't that he didn't cherish it, but the news Toshiro gave him was truly shocking.

Manipulating gravity and repulsion, transforming summoned beasts, absorbing chakra, manipulating souls...

Each and every one of these events stirred his emotions.

He hadn't expected that the Rinnegan had so many abilities. He needed to think things through carefully, otherwise, he would never have been able to obtain the Rinnegan from Pain.

At the same time, he also felt a pang of regret.

He had seen Pain before; he, Tsunade, and Jiraiya had encountered that child together back then, but he never expected that the child would have such eyes.

Life is truly unpredictable.

In the Tsuchikage's office, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, received intelligence from his subordinates through special channels.

"Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, and Toshiro Uchiha have appeared on the border! And a fierce battle has broken out between them?"

After carefully reading the intelligence report, Onoki frowned deeply.

The war had only just ended, so how could two such powerful ninjas suddenly appear on the border of the Land of Earth and even engage in a major battle?

Is Konoha plotting something?

"Immediately dispatch elite personnel to investigate the situation in the vicinity! Also, strengthen security in the village and be on high alert for unfamiliar faces!"

After giving instructions to his subordinates in the Anbu, Onoki turned his gaze to the distance. The name Uchiha brought back some very unpleasant memories.

At that moment, a group of seven or eight ninjas slowly walked towards the main gate of Kyoto Village.

A young man with slightly curly short hair, a round nose, handsome features, and upturned eyes looked at the door in front of him and revealed a long-lost smile.

"Thank you all so much for your cooperation during this border mission!"

"After I return from the Hokage-sama event, let's all have a proper get-together. How about we go for BBQ Q?"

With a warm smile, a sunny face, and a friendly attitude, Shisui displayed a gentle demeanor rarely seen in the Uchiha clan.

"Oh! How could I possibly accept this? If it weren't for Shisui's amazing intervention, some of us might have been injured or killed. How could I let you treat us!"

Upon hearing Shisui's invitation, an ordinary Chunin wearing a green vest was somewhat flattered and repeatedly declined.

He almost made a terrible mistake this time. If it weren't for his teammate Shisui stepping in to save him, he would have even considered committing suicide to atone for his sins. How could he possibly have the face to ask Shisui to treat him to a meal now!

"It's not Shisui's place to treat us. If anyone should be treating, it should be that idiot Yuuki. He almost ruined this mission, so we should just rip him off and teach him a lesson!"

Seeing this, a teammate quickly spoke up, saying, "That idiot Yongshu won't learn his lesson unless he bleeds a little."

"Exactly! Yuuki, you really need to thank Shisui properly; a barbecue is a must!"

"Speaking of which, Shisui-san truly lives up to his name 'Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique.' Those troublesome fellows were dealt with in just a few rounds!"

As soon as the Chunin who spoke up for Shisui finished speaking, his companions began urging Yuuki to treat them to a meal.

When someone treats them to a lavish meal, they figure it's a win-win situation no matter how they calculate it, and they all join in the commotion.

Among them were a few female ninjas whose gazes toward Shisui seemed to gleam with a hidden light.

"It's not as exaggerated as everyone says. Even without me, I believe everyone can complete this mission successfully."

"Besides, we're all comrades from the same village, so we should take care of each other. I was just doing what a Konoha ninja should do."

After being showered with praise, Shisui revealed his shy side.

These male ninjas aside, while their gazes towards him were filled with gratitude, they were also filled with camaraderie.

But what's wrong with those female ninjas? The way they're looking at her seems to want to devour her alive, even more terrifying than the enemies on the battlefield.

"It's decided! Everyone, make sure no one's missing, let's all gather for BBQ!"

After being teased by his companions, Yuuki decided to be generous and treat everyone present to a barbecue at Q.

On the one hand, he wanted to have a good get-together; on the other hand, he genuinely wanted to express his gratitude to Zhishui for saving his life.

Chatting and laughing, this large group of ninjas stepped into the gates of Konoha.

After Zhishui finished handing over the mission and had a meal with his mission companions, it was already past eight o'clock when they returned to the clan's residence.

"Finally home!"

Looking at the red torii gate at the entrance of the family compound, and the prominent family crest on it, I just sighed and then strode towards you.

"Stop the water!"

Just as he stepped over the torii gate, a still somewhat childish voice interrupted Shisui's steps.

"It's Itachi! It's so late, aren't you resting yet?!"

Upon seeing this familiar figure, Shisui's tone became unusually gentle. He took a few steps to Itachi's side and measured the distance to his shoulder.

"Great, you've grown taller again!"

Uchiha Itachi, who is now 11 and a half years old, has grown taller than Shisui's shoulder and looks like a 13 or 14-year-old boy.

"Did you come here specifically to wait for me?"

Seeing Itachi blushing slightly after his actions, Shisui smiled happily. It was really nice to have a friend who was like a younger brother to him.

"I heard Shisui returned from his mission, so I'm waiting for you here!"

"There are some things I'd like to hear Shisui's thoughts on!"

Shisui was arguably his only friend in the clan. Whenever Shisui had questions about missions or training, Shisui would explain things to him in detail. He was incredibly open with everything he knew, whether it was ninjutsu or anything else.

"Let's go! This isn't a good place to chat. Let's talk as we walk!"

Although it was night, tribespeople were still coming and going from the gate of the camp, but most of them were heading to the garrison.

"Um!"

Quietly following behind Shisui, Itachi looked him up and down, noticing the significant changes Shisui had undergone in the past year or two.

They actively participated in ordinary tasks in the village, and whether it was civilian ninjas or clan ninjas, they were treated with kindness.
