Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 484 Ambush

"Finally, it's all done!"

Stretching out, Toshiro looked at the document in front of him, signed by five Kage, and breathed a sigh of relief.

This should reduce the number of things in the village that I need to handle personally.

Now I can happily slack off again.

"The Hokage shouldn't be too happy yet~"

"We only signed a draft agreement. After returning to the village, we still need to discuss the details with the higher-ups."

On the other side, Onoki spoke up somewhat unhappily, pouring cold water on Toshiro's enthusiasm.

After nearly a week of discussions, the Five Kage finally reached a consensus on the various proposals put forward by Toshiro.

However, as the Tsuchikage said, these things are just the beginning, and there are still many things to deal with later.

"It's alright~"

"This is a good start."

Toshiro didn't take Onoki's sarcastic remarks to heart.

Older people are often quite stubborn.

Although the agreement was reluctantly signed, it's not surprising that there were some differing opinions.

"Next, we will implement the matters in the draft agreement."

"Our Konoha will send Jiraiya to be fully responsible for follow-up communication."

How could Toshiro possibly handle such a troublesome matter himself?

Jiraiya, isn't he always so idle? It's good to give him some extra work so he won't always be out there gathering materials.

Isn't this corrupting Konoha's morals? It must be strictly stopped!

"Jiraiya..."

Upon hearing Toshiro's words, Onoki merely frowned slightly before turning his gaze to the yellow earth behind him.

Since Jiraiya is in charge of Konoha, the Iwa ninja can't afford to be weak-willed. Sending out Kyoto will surely not diminish their prestige.

"Having disturbed Admiral Mifune and the Land of Iron for so long, it's time for us to take our leave."

Over the past week, the three ships of the Land of Iron have been working tirelessly to ensure the safety of this meeting, and they have all looked quite haggard.

"To witness the signing of such a positive peace draft by the Five Shadows."

"It is an honor for our Iron Country, and for me personally, to contribute to this cause."

Despite his exhaustion, it was clear that Mifune still held considerable expectations for the draft.

"Well then... we'll take our leave now!"

The matter was settled, and neither he nor the other shadows intended to stay here any longer.

Everyone was eager to return to the village to discuss this matter.

……

The border between the Land of Iron and the Land of Fire.

A vast primeval forest was covered with a layer of pure white snow. The branches of the trees were covered with thick snow, as if they were dressed in silver. Every tree looked tall and straight.

The surrounding mountains are majestic and magnificent, with snow-capped peaks stretching endlessly, forming graceful curves.

The mountains rise and fall in layers, their majestic presence inspiring awe. Mist swirls among the peaks, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene, as if one were stepping into a landscape painting.

In this primeval forest after a heavy snowfall, the branches and leaves of the trees appear even more robust and powerful under the weight of the accumulated snow. The canopies of these towering trees are like giant umbrellas, blocking out the sun and creating a strong sense of oppression.

The tall pine, spruce and other coniferous trees stand like warriors guarding the forest, unyielding and steadfast.

"Nagato, target spotted."

On a mountaintop, in an exceptionally thick tree, a pure white butterfly fluttered its wings a few times, passed through a tree hole, and landed on the fingertip of a cool, aloof woman.

She had long, bluish-purple hair tied into a cute bun, and her black and red uniform concealed her beautiful figure.

"Nagato, you really didn't need to push yourself so hard~"

Using the light streaming through the tree hole, Xiao Nan looked at her emaciated companion, a look of pity in her eyes.

"I believe Yahiko doesn't want you to either..."

"Minami, this is Yahiko's dream."

Before Konan could finish her advice, she was interrupted by Nagato, who was sitting inside a strange machine.

"To become a god and bring peace to this world—these are Yahiko's dreams."

A hint of sadness flickered in her purple, wavy eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a resolute expression.

"Therefore, the Fifth Hokage must die."

Seeing that her persuasion had failed, a hint of disappointment flashed across Xiao Nan's eyes.

"Target located."

"They're using an aerial walkway, at an altitude of 1000 meters, and are 20 kilometers away, heading in our direction."

The Hokage didn't take the usual path, so they had to resort to the most rudimentary method: ambushing the enemy along their possible routes and waiting for them to walk right into their trap.

"I have notified the other members of the organization and asked them to come over as soon as possible."

Madara Uchiha emphasized that the Fifth Hokage's strength was extraordinary, and for this reason, she persuaded Nagato to bring along many members of the organization.

However, none of them are nearby right now, and it will take them some time to get here.

"Perhaps I would have already taken care of them without them even having to lift a finger."

Nagato was still very confident, especially this time, as he brought the Six Paths of Pain with him.

In his view, let alone the Fifth Hokage, even Madara Uchiha at his peak might not be his match.

However, he couldn't directly refuse Xiao Nan's insistence.

In addition, they also needed to determine the other party's location, which is why they were able to gather most of the organization's personnel.

……

the other side.

After leaving the Land of Iron, Toshiro summoned the Mountain Eagle and asked him to take him, Itachi, and another ANBU member with him.

Use air superiority to travel.

"What is that?"

Standing on the back of the mountain eagle, the originally relaxed Itachi frowned as he looked at the faint black dots in the clouds.

"Lord Hokage, that... strange bird seems to have ill intentions!"

Itachi narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Toshiro, who was sitting cross-legged.

With his superhuman eyesight, he discovered that the black dot was a huge, strange bird, and it seemed to have its eyes on them.

"A strange bird?"

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Toshiro, who had been feeling rather bored, was taken aback.

"What a strange bird!"

Because they were still far apart, Toshiro couldn't see the other person's full appearance.

The opponent's flight posture and outline are quite different from those of ordinary summoned beasts.

Especially the other party's exaggerated beak.

It occupies almost a third of the body's volume, which is not the proportion that a normal living organism should have.

"Could it be... Pain's summoned beast, or that... Hiruko?"

After searching his mind, Toshiro was still unsure.

As far as he knew, the strange flying summoning beasts in the ninja world belonged to these two guys, but he didn't know which one was on the other side.

The distance was too far; he couldn't see clearly at all.
