At this moment, Ryosuke Aburame was about to escape the range of the fire net.

Chakra metal wires are expensive and limited, and there's no way to cover the entire yard.

Kid, I'm going to kill you.

Beneath the mask, Ryosuke Aburame's eyes were icy cold.

Clearly, tonight's unsuccessful start had greatly annoyed him, who was usually expressionless.

While running, he moved his hands in a blur, preparing to unleash a powerful ninjutsu to kill Uchiha Tonan in one fell swoop.

We must control the power carefully, lest we ruin those eyes.

Ryosuke Aburame thought to himself.

On the rooftop, Uchiha Tonan watched Aburame Ryosuke flee from the Fire Domain, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The fish were completely caught in the net.

The next instant, Ryosuke Aburame stomped his foot on the ground.

I no longer felt the ground beneath my feet; instead, I felt like I was stepping into thin air.

This is... a trap!

Ryosuke Aburame never imagined that someone would set a trap in his own yard.

He immediately prepared to use the insect transformation technique to escape.

Just then, Uchiha Tonan made his move.

With a sudden pull of his left hand, he quickly flung out several kunai with his right.

The kunai and the Fuma shuriken, connected by the chakra wire, had just been pulled into the air when they were struck by the incoming kunai and regained their momentum.

Uchiha Tonan leaped up, pulling the fire net formed by chakra metal wires towards Aburame Ryosuke.

Fight!

A ruthless glint flashed in Ryosuke Aburame's eyes as he continued to use his insect transformation technique, trying to break free from the sea of ​​fire.

Even if this results in the loss of a large number of parasites, it is still safer than falling into an unknown trap.

Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly, discerning Aburame Ryosuke's intentions from the flow of chakra within his body.

His right hand moved swiftly, forming hand seals.

Thunder escape, earth movement.

"Crackling and popping~"

Electric arcs flashed across the fire net in an instant, and the entire net continued to shrink.

Now Ryosuke Aburame dared not use his insect transformation technique.

If the parasites are too densely packed, they will conduct electricity to each other.

It's important to know that lightning has a paralyzing effect, and parasitic insects that are paralyzed will definitely be burned to ashes by the fire.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Aburame Ryosuke hesitated for a moment, and then lost his footing and fell into the trap.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tonan had already covered the trap entrance with a large net filled with lightning and fire.

"Puff~"

The sound of splashing water rang out.

Am I in the water?

Is this brat trying to electrocute me by using water's conductivity?

It’s over.....

Ryosuke Aburame, masked, was filled with horror, but the next moment, his despair deepened.

Because he suddenly realized that it wasn't water, but oil.

Even using the insect transformation technique won't work now.

The insects would definitely be covered in oil, and there's fire and electricity above them...

"Zzzzz~"

Ryosuke Aburame looked up and saw the firelight flashing and lightning crisscrossing at the entrance to the trap.

And all around him were explosive tags, which were now burning and activating...

Rumble~

With a deafening explosion, a blazing column of fire shot out from the trap and burst into the night sky.

This pillar of fire could be seen from most of Konoha Village.

[Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sowing Discord, the Well-behaved and Sensible]

From afar, Aburame Shiguro witnessed this scene and unhesitatingly activated the Seal of the Extinction of Tongue Calamity.

However, the cursed seal did not give him any feedback.

"Is he dead? This level of fire release technique... could it be Uchiha Fugaku?"

Or maybe it's that old guy...

A figure flashed through Aburame Shiro's mind.

In the next instant, Shiro Aburame's figure had vanished.

The mission failed...

The pillar of fire ignited the nearby houses the moment it erupted, and the fire spread rapidly under the influence of the cold wind.

Inside the house, Uchiha Tonan leisurely tossed the money and land deeds from the cabinet into the cellar.

Then he tucked the diary and the copy of "The Will of Fire" signed by Hiruzen Sarutobi that he had bought earlier under his arm.

A casual step to the left just barely avoids a section of burning beam.

He turned and walked outside.

The attackers this time clearly belonged to the Aburame clan.

Judging from their attire, they must be either members of the ANBU or the Root.

It seems Danzo harbored ill intentions towards me.

Danzo... Orochimaru...

We can't beat them.

Uchiha Tonan considered himself broad-minded and not a vengeful person.

If they were willing to accept him, Uchiha Tonan would be happy to go along with them.

At this moment, the elder and Uchiha Fugaku arrived at the courtyard first.

“This is…” Fugaku Uchiha frowned as he looked at the towering flames.

"Looks like we're too late."

The Grand Elder's face was grim.

Suddenly, the two raised their eyebrows, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.

"Ok?"

A crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the sea of ​​fire.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Uchiha Tonan calmly emerged from the sea of ​​fire, and the moment he stepped out of the courtyard, the house behind him suddenly collapsed.

Rumble~

The elder asked with concern, "Tu Nan, are you alright?"

Meanwhile, the Jonin from the rear also arrived at the scene, and a large number of Uchiha ninjas continued to arrive one after another.

Uchiha Tonan's figure looked so small against the backdrop of the raging sea of ​​fire.

However, none of the people present dared to underestimate Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan and the First Elder exchanged a quick glance, then Tonan adjusted his glasses apologetically and bowed deeply to everyone, saying:

"I'm so sorry, the noise was too loud and disturbed your rest."

Fugaku Uchiha hurriedly asked, "What happened? Is there another spy from an enemy village?"

Uchiha Tonan calmly shook his head and said, "I have no comment. This matter needs to be reported to the Hokage first."

Upon hearing this, the Uchiha ninjas who had rushed over were in an uproar.

"Damn it, we rushed here in the middle of the night."

"Hmph, Elder, Clan Chief, let's go. Let's leave this brat alone."

"That's right, why bother with whether this traitor lives or dies."

.......

The First Elder had already decided that Uchiha Tunan was hiding his true abilities, and narrowed his eyes, saying:

"Tunan, everyone is worried about your safety. Don't you even trust your own people?"

Uchiha Tonan didn't say anything, just stood there silently.

The elder glanced at the pillar of fire, which was already showing signs of dying out, and then at Uchiha Tonan, who was keeping his eyes down.

A glint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Strength, wisdom, and this magnanimous patience are truly gifts bestowed upon the Uchiha clan by heaven.

The Uchiha clan members present were all very angry, shouting and yelling.

But without the intervention of Fugaku Uchiha and the Grand Elder, they could only try their best to endure.

Leaving is not an option, but staying feels like being rejected in a passionate relationship.
