Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 506 Pleading for Mercy

Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village.

"Father, this is a list of prisoners to be exchanged, sent by the Hokage."

Tall and imposing, Huang Tu, carrying a scroll, walked into his father's office.

However, a little tail followed behind him.

"grandfather!"

The small body peeked out from behind the yellow earth and gave a big smile to Onoki behind the desk.

Since returning to the village, Onoki had been discussing the terms of the agreement with the village leaders, and he was already feeling dizzy and confused.

But as soon as he saw his granddaughter, he immediately put on a kind smile.

Even that conspicuous red nose couldn't help but twitch.

"Put the reel down!"

Watching his granddaughter casually flipping through the documents on his desk, Onoki wasn't angry. He simply said something to his son and then began to chat with his adorable granddaughter.

"Father, this time the Hokage selection is very sincere. You'd better take a look at the list."

Huang Tu didn't care about his father's indifference, and simply reiterated the importance of the scroll.

"Sincerity?"

Onoki, who was not tall, was not much taller than his granddaughter, but he didn't care. Instead, he was very curious about the sincerity his son spoke of.

"Deidara, you idiot!"

Upon opening the scroll, the first thing that catches the eye is a familiar name.

Unable to contain his anger, Onoki stopped looking at the rest of the list and began to think.

"Deidara, my brother?"

"Any news about him?"

Kurotsuchi, upon hearing the familiar name, immediately perked up and stared at Onoki on the chair with a look of curiosity.

Deidara is one of her few playmates, but he's a bit of a clay fanatic and doesn't like her fondness for explosions.

"That idiot, he's been captured by the people of Konoha!"

Onoki was extremely unhappy at the thought of the secret technique possibly being leaked.

"Did they say why this guy was captured by Konoha?"

Since the person has already been captured by the Hokage, he can't just leave him alone; he still needs to find out the reason behind it.

If Konoha had captured Deidara for no reason, he was prepared to retaliate.

After all, no matter what, this kid can be considered his disciple, Tsuchikage.

If Konoha arrests people without warning, did they ask the Tsuchikage beforehand?

"According to news from Konoha, Deidara joined an organization called 'Akatsuki' and attacked the Hokage after the Five Kage Summit, which led to his capture."

When Xiao was mentioned, Huang Tu glanced at his father.

He didn't get too deeply involved in the village's secrets, but he had heard about the employment organization that had a cooperative relationship with the village.

"This is a letter written by the Hokage himself, which details the whole story of this incident."

Huang Tu handed his father a letter covered with sealing wax and sealed with various seals, without saying a word.

"It seems we can no longer cooperate with the Akatsuki organization."

After quickly glancing at the contents of the letter, Onoki frowned.

The familiar names like Sasori, Orochimaru, and Pakura forced him to re-evaluate the Akatsuki organization.

Just as Onoki received the news, Rasa, located in the Land of Wind, also received a letter from Toshiro.

Unlike Onoki, whose expression remained relatively calm, Rasa, who had just put down the letter, slammed his hand heavily on the desk.

"Yashamaru, go and invite Elder Chiyo over."

Normally, Rasa would personally visit Elder Chiyo, but this time…

"Tell him that the matter is extremely important and that he must have her come here."

Looking at the letter in his hand again, Luo Sha's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

"Luo Sha, I'm retired. What important matter requires this old woman to come in person?"

A short while later, Chiyo, whose hair had turned completely white, arrived.

"Taking advantage of one's age"

Suppressing his displeasure, Luo Sha handed the letter to the other party.

"Elder Chiyo, we have news about Sasori."

Although the old man has been out of the public eye for many years, his influence is still enormous.

So-called high moral character and prestige are nothing more than this.

"Scorpion~"

Chiyo was visibly taken aback when she heard her grandson's name again.

Then, he eagerly took the letter from Luo Sha's hand and began to read it line by line.

"How could this be..."

Looking at the contents above, Chiyo could hardly believe her eyes.

Sasori joined an organization and then attacked the Hokage, which is one thing.

The key point is that Sasori used a puppet that could use Magnet Release...

According to news from Konoha, it was made from the corpse of the Third Kazekage…

"This... is absolutely impossible!"

In her emotional state, Chiyo instinctively refused to believe the contents of the letter.

"This must be a conspiracy by Konoha!"

How could her beloved grandson be the murderer who killed the Third Kazekage?

All of this must be a rumor fabricated by Konoha.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by sending someone to Konoha."

As the saying goes, those involved are often blinded by their own interests. It's understandable that Elder Chiyo trusted his grandson and didn't believe in this matter.

However, he, the Wind Shadow, remained perfectly clear-headed.

Now that you think about it carefully, the time when Sasori disappeared highly overlaps with the time when Kazekage disappeared. Isn't that the most powerful evidence?

Otherwise, why hasn't Scorpion returned to the village all these years?

And also, this woman, Yekura, actually got involved with the Hokage, that's really...

……

In Konoha Prison.

With a clang, the sound of an iron gate being opened rang out.

Orochimaru rolled his eyes, turning his gaze to the next room. Upon seeing the person thrown in, his pupils involuntarily trembled.

"Jiraiya, you idiot, what happened to you?"

If it weren't for that head of white hair and that vaguely familiar figure, Orochimaru wouldn't have been sure who was standing in front of him.

Jiraiya's current appearance is simply too... unrecognizable.

If you weren't familiar with him, you wouldn't recognize him at all.

"Could he really be dead?"

Seeing the figure leaning against the wall without responding for a long time, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and began to examine Jiraiya's injuries from head to toe.

His entire head was swollen into the shape of a pig's head, several ribs were probably broken, and his chakra reaction was extremely weak.

If it weren't for the occasional rise and fall of his chest, one might mistake him for a dead person.

"Cough cough cough!"

After a long while, the figure leaned against the wall, motionless, and coughed violently a few times.

Then he spat out a mouthful of blood from his chest, and only then did he open his eyes and look at Orochimaru next to him.

"I never imagined I'd have the chance to share a room with you again."

With difficulty, Jiraiya moved his body and took out some medicine from the medical kit that had been thrown in with him. He then began to treat his wounds.

"The only one capable of injuring you like this must be the Hokage."

With a quick glance, Orochimaru roughly guessed why Jiraiya had ended up in such a state.

He couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"Still as naive as ever!"

"hiss!"

Jiraiya completely ignored Orochimaru's taunts.

I began to treat my wounds with some difficulty.

And every now and then it would let out a gasp.

"Tsk, the Hokage really knows how to use his power..."

After treating his wounds, Jiraiya took out some food from his medical kit, put it in his mouth, and looked at Orochimaru next to him.

"I didn't expect that I would be visiting you outside yesterday and coming in to keep you company today. This is nice."

Having regained some of his composure, Jiraiya chuckled self-deprecatingly.

When Orochimaru was arrested, he and Tsunade came to visit him, but they never expected that they would end up being imprisoned together with him.

"You asked for this!"

When facing Jiraiya, Orochimaru, who rarely had the urge to speak, couldn't help but start using his sharp tongue.

"If I were the Hokage, I definitely wouldn't let you off so easily!"

"They just gave you a lecture and locked you up. They really think highly of you, you idiot."

Orochimaru really had nothing to say to his naive former comrade. At his age, he still acted like a child, clinging to those outdated and obsolete ideas.

The next morning, in the Hokage's office.

Having just finished his morning exercise, Toshiro felt refreshed and began to think about how to deal with Jiraiya.

He knew that someone like Jiraiya was impossible to kill; at most, he would just be taught a lesson.

Then turn it off for a while.

Bang! Bang!

The office door was knocked twice before being impatiently pushed open.

Tsunade's figure appeared in the office as the door was roughly pushed open.

"Uchiha Toshiro, what did you do to Jiraiya?"

As soon as she entered, Tsunade began questioning Toshiro.

He leaned forward, his hands on the desk, looking at Toshiro with a serious expression and a rather unfriendly tone.

"What's wrong?"

His gaze shifted downwards, and Toshiro's tone remained calm and composed.

"Shouldn't a ninja who released a serious criminal who attempted to assassinate the Hokage be punished?"

"As a Konoha ninja, he not only released the criminal without permission, but also obstructed the Anbu who were pursuing the criminal when the Hokage was personally chasing him. As the Hokage, I have been very merciful by only teaching him a lesson."

"you…"

When Tsunade was rebuffed by Toshiro, she couldn't find a good excuse for herself and her chest heaved violently with anger.

She had just received the news that Jiraiya had been imprisoned in a heavy prison by the Hokage, but she wasn't quite sure what he had done wrong.

"Jiraiya must have acted on impulse..."

When Tsunade tried to argue, Toshiro interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

"A moment of impulse?"

"I don't think he acted on impulse; he was just feeling confident and fearless."

"As a Konoha ninja, how could he fight his own village's Hokage for a serious criminal who attempted to assassinate the Hokage? Does he even care about Konoha, or about me, his place as Hokage?"

It's not that Toshiro is deliberately making a big deal out of nothing.

No leader could completely ignore Jiraiya's actions in this situation.

If it were someone with a fiery temper, it wouldn't be impossible for them to kill him on the spot.
