Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 432 Return

On the playground of the ninja academy.

A fierce battle is about to break out.

On one side is Sasuke Uchiha with black hair, and on the other side is Naruto Uzumaki with blond hair.

Seeing the two of them so unwilling to give in to each other, Iruka felt utterly helpless.

For some reason, these two guys always dislike each other, yet they care a lot about each other's opinions.

They would compete with each other from time to time.

Perhaps... this is what bonds are all about!

On the other side, Itachi, dressed in Uchiha uniform, sat on a distant rooftop, gazing at everything happening on the training ground.

"Don't listen to the Third Hokage's sweet talk about sacrificing everything for the peace of the village! When I take action, there won't be a single Uchiha left!"

Danzo's words still ring in my ears.

Recalling the other person's expression when he spoke, and the cold light in his eyes, Itachi had no doubt that the other person would keep his word.

Does he really have to take matters into his own hands and make the Uchiha clan a thing of the past?

Watching Sasuke playing with his classmates on the playground, Itachi felt very confused.

He was a genius, but also a thirteen-year-old child. Although he had experienced a great deal of killing, his experience and life experience were insufficient to support him in facing such a complex situation.

On one side is the threat of the Mist Ninja and the desire for peace; on the other side are the village, the clan, and his adorable younger brother. He doesn't know what he should do.

Meanwhile, Danzo stroked his right eye beneath his bandages, recalling the struggling expression on the little devil's face, his expression one of great satisfaction.

"Itachi, don't let me down!"

He was very fortunate that the kaleidoscope he had obtained was an eye technique that could change the will of others.

Moreover, it's this eye with a relatively short cooldown time.

Based on the information obtained from this eye, he knew that although the other eye was more effective, its cooldown time was too long.

After using it once, one cannot use pupil techniques for several years.

"A, B, C... pass the order: everyone cancels their vacation for the next two days and returns to the village to await orders."

He paused briefly, then continued, "Go and inform the Third Generation that the dagger is ready, and tell him to prepare for the cleanup!"

"yes!"

Watching his subordinates hurry away, Danzo knew that all he needed to do next was to wait quietly for the effects of his eye technique to take effect.

At the same time, a slender, slightly plump young woman named Hanako pushed open the door of Toshiro's house.

Although the other party hadn't returned for a long time, she would come over every now and then to tidy up.

The recent rumors circulating in the village have been making her uneasy, so she's taking the opportunity of cleaning her room to relax.

"Toshiro... welcome back!"

As soon as the door opened, a tall figure stood in the living room, quietly watching her as she entered.

"Um!"

Nodding, Toshiro looked around the relatively clean room and smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chie!"

He reached out and pulled Chie into his arms, offering her some comfort before turning his gaze to the street outside.

"What's the situation with that family in the village lately?"

As the 'Daimyo of the Land of Water,' he learned of the impending war between the Hidden Mist Village and the Leaf Village immediately.

He hastily pulled the real daimyo out of the basement, cast an illusion spell on him, and then returned to the village.

"The situation in the village..."

On the long sofa in the living room, Uchiha Chie nestled in Toshiro's arms and began to recount the changes that had occurred in the clan and the village over the past few days.

As she spoke, her face gradually turned red, and her legs unconsciously pressed together and twisted restlessly.

"She really is a 'glutton'!"

Chie was at the age when her desires were at their peak. Looking at the other person's eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, she smiled and teased them.

However, this is not the time for sentimentality. He wants to see what the Third Hokage, Danzo, and Fugaku Uchiha are all up to.

Especially Uchiha Fugaku.

I clearly told him that in case of any emergency, he could notify me through Granny Cat. But this guy hasn't made a single move until now.

What exactly is the clan leader trying to do?

"Hmm~"

When Toshiro teased her about her gluttony, Chie Uchiha's face turned bright red, as if it were about to drip water. She buried her head in Toshiro's neck and let out a groan that was hard to understand.

"alright…"

Tsujiro gently patted Chie's slender waist, then pulled out a kunai with a special mark from behind his back and handed it to Chie.

"Go visit Uchiha Homura later and give her this. Tell her I'll be seeing her then!"

Since Fugaku wanted to keep such a big matter from him, he didn't need to be polite anymore. He would contact Homura of the First Branch and give them a good surprise.

"???"

"It's not what you think. Go talk to her about how the family should respond!" Looking at the other person's eyes, which held a hint of resentment, Toshiro felt somewhat helpless.

"Also, what's the current situation at Konoha Prison?"

Since he left Konoha, the position of warden of Konoha Prison has been vacant and has been taken over by Uchiha Chie.

Seeing that Toshiro wasn't there to discuss serious matters with Homura Uchiha as she had imagined, Chie replied, "The situation in the prison is normal right now. The village and clan affairs don't affect the prison!"

"How many of the prisoners possess chakra?"

He didn't care about the conditions in the prison, but he still had a use for those prisoners who possessed chakra, so he inquired about them in detail.

"There are 157 prisoners with chakra!"

Although she didn't know why Toshiro was asking these questions, Chie still accurately reported the detailed number of prisoners in the prison.

How many Jonin, how many Chunin, how many Genin, and how many civilians—everyone knows them clearly.

"Um!"

Go!

He gently kissed the young woman's lips and helped her to her feet from the sofa. Seeing that her face was still flushed, Toshiro gave her a helpless remark.

"Rest for a while before you go. Try to look natural. Don't tell anyone I'm back!"

This is also for the safety of the other party. In the next few days, if the village takes action, none of the people around me will be able to escape.

"Um!"

Chie knew the seriousness of the matter, so she tidied her disheveled hair and then left Toshiro's house with a natural expression.

P.S.: I've always suspected that Itachi might have been affected by Danzo's Kotoamatsukami, which led him to commit the massacre of his clan.
