Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 439, Number Four Hundred and One-Nine: Acquaintances

"How is it... Hyuga clan leader? What's the situation inside?"

Outside the Uchiha compound, in the shadow of a building, pairs of bewildered and incredulous eyes were cautiously examining the barrier in the distance.

After trying various methods without success, the somewhat short-tempered Inuzuka Tsuru turned his gaze to the Hyuga clan leader beside him.

The Inuzuka clan's keen sense of smell was of no use in dealing with this situation.

"The entire Uchiha clan is enveloped by a barrier, so even the Byakugan is useless!"

Hiashi looked around at the probing gazes around him and wanted to roll his eyes, but that would be too impolite.

"Instead of relying on me, you'd be better off looking at Chief Aburame. I just saw several parasitic insects land on the Dark Guard!"

"…have no idea!"

Pushing up her sunglasses, the oil-dwelling clan chief gave a very brief answer.

He was also helpless. Although the parasite had followed him in, it wasn't his eyes that had gone in, so how could he know so clearly?

However, since everyone around him was a clan leader from Konoha, he couldn't be too aloof.

"They shouldn't have started fighting yet!"

With such a commotion, how could the village chiefs not know?

There are always one or two bold individuals who will sneak out to investigate. Once there's a first one, there's a second, then a third. As the number of them increases, these people start to become somewhat unscrupulous.

They began to peer outside the barrier, trying to see what was happening inside.

After all, the law doesn't punish everyone!

……

"..."

He opened his mouth, but Fugaku didn't utter a single word.

The Third Hokage was completely unaware of the current situation. Even disregarding what Danzo had just done, he had no idea how many people within the Uchiha clan would still listen to him, the clan head.

The way his clansmen handled things today, as well as Toshiro's sudden arrival, made him feel that he had failed as the clan leader.

Despite all the preparations made by the family, he, the patriarch, was completely unaware.

"Jiraiya, I'm leaving things here to you!"

Slightly annoyed, Tsunade stamped her foot, glanced at the silent Fugaku, greeted Jiraiya, and turned to leave.

Today's events were truly unacceptable to her. If she hadn't discussed it with Jiraiya and Kushina and planned to persuade the Uchiha, she wouldn't have been here at all.

If it weren't nighttime, and some of the 'traces' that she couldn't control weren't too obvious, it would be questionable whether she could even stand up freely.

"Since these people are courting death, let them fight the old man to the death!"

She didn't care much about the village or the Uchiha clan, whether they were alive or dead. If it weren't for the fact that the village was something her grandfather, Nawaki, and Dan cherished, she wouldn't have come back to see it at all.

Let them fight to the death, preferably to the death, that would be the only way to have peace and quiet.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave... Tsunade-senpai!"

Seeing that the Third Hokage had failed to persuade Fugaku, and that Tsunade was planning to withdraw on her own, Toshiro gave Tsunade a mysterious smile.

"I've prepared a special ninjutsu to deal with tonight's events. If Tsunade-senpai leaves so soon, she'll definitely regret it!"

"Special ninjutsu... brat, I don't care how you and the old man plan to end this!"

Her long, slender eyebrows curved into crescent moons, and her face was full of smiles. Then, Tsunade's entire face suddenly fell, and she said, word by word:

"But... don't drag me into this, otherwise..."

She remembered this Uchiha Toshiro, who had secretly looked at her breasts when they were on the front lines in Sunagakure. He was only a little over ten years old at the time and was a complete little pervert.

At the same time, she had a vague premonition that the special ninjutsu mentioned by this seemingly pleasing kid... wasn't a good thing.

Not only her, but even the Third Hokage became somewhat suspicious, looking at Toshiro with a serious expression, wondering if the other party was hiding some trump card.

"Hiruzen, don't listen to this guy's bluff! Just a mere Uchiha clan member; compared to the entire village, they're nothing!"

Danzo, who had just been nearly killed by Toshiro, jumped out again, looking at Toshiro and the Uchiha people beside him with a chilling tone.

"With the combined strength of the two of us, plus Jiraiya and Kushina, we're more than enough to deal with Toshiro Uchiha. As for the other Uchiha clan members, we don't even need to lift a finger!"

This time, their own Root clan suffered considerable losses. Apart from a few 'clever' individuals, the rest were slaughtered by Uchiha Toshiro and Fugaku, who led the Uchiha clan members.

Now is the perfect time for revenge.

"It seems... things are beyond repair!"

With a sigh, the Third Hokage looked at the corpses lying all around him, his expression turning somewhat helpless, and then swept his gaze over the Uchiha clan members opposite him.

"In that case, let's just reveal some of our cards!"

Seeing the death wish in the Third Hokage's eyes, Toshiro knew that the old man was probably thinking of taking him down with him.

Konoha has more than just the Reaper Death Seal as a ninjutsu capable of causing mutual destruction.

"Don't rush into anything. I've brought two helpers this time; they're acquaintances of yours. You can catch up later!"

With a strange smile playing on his lips, Toshiro glanced between the Third Hokage and Tsunade.

"acquaintance?"

Not only the Third Hokage, but even Tsunade showed a puzzled expression after hearing Toshiro's words.

Do you have any acquaintances who could become the other party's helper?

"Could it be... Orochimaru?"

Compared to the confused Third Hokage and Tsunade, it was Jiraiya, who had been preoccupied with Orochimaru's defection, who suddenly remembered something and began to look around.

The old man is an acquaintance of Tsunade, and who else besides Orochimaru, that bastard, could help Toshiro?

"It's over there...you can catch up properly."

Several figures dressed in retro attire emerged from the shadows, including two faces that the villagers of Konoha saw every day, appearing before the Third Hokage and the others.

Toshiro had no interest in playing any guessing games with them and readily revealed the answer.

"This is…"

Seeing the Third Hokage and the others exclaim in surprise, Toshiro gave a wicked smile.

"Since you're planning to turn against the village, why wouldn't you prepare in advance? This is what I specially prepared for you... What do you think?"

"Surprised? Unexpected?"

Didn't they intend to outnumber the enemy and fight four against one? Did they think Uchiha Toshiro wouldn't call for backup?

Looking at the Third Hokage and the others opposite him, whose jaws were practically dropping, Toshiro was very satisfied with their performance. He thought the title of "Dream Master" was quite fitting.
