Uchiha's personal opinion

"Spare the frog! Capture it alive if possible!"

Minato Namikaze immediately shouted.

Although somewhat confused, the Uchiha Jonin obeyed orders and slowed their attack, switching to ninjutsu to wear them down.

The Aburame ninjas began to spawn parasitic insects, while the Uchiha ninjas changed formation to prepare to reinforce the sealing barrier once more.

"Secret Technique: Insect Jade!"

Several female ninjas joined forces to use a secret technique, causing the insects to transform into a pagoda-shaped barrier that enveloped the struggling toads of Mount Myōboku.

Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!

Gamachu immediately puffed out his mouth and spat out streams of fireballs coated in oil towards Insect Jade. However, he was distracted while performing his technique and was unable to defend himself properly. He was hit by the Uchiha ninja's tools one after another, and his body was covered with more wounds.

Although the Insect Balls suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Oil Flame Bullets, some of the Parasitic Insects still managed to land on the toads and quickly absorb their chakra.

"drink!"

With a loud shout, Gamachu released his Sage Chakra, and the parasitic insects that were absorbing the chakra immediately turned into small pebbles and fell down.

However, the other toads without Sage Chakra were not so lucky. After being disturbed by the parasitic insects, they were quickly subdued by the Uchiha ninjas who attacked them in groups and dragged aside to be imprisoned.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Immediately, the Uchiha Jonin joined forces to unleash several massive fire dragons towards Gamabunta.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Despite his desperate struggle using ninjutsu, Gamachu was outnumbered and roasted half-cooked by the intense flames before being easily knocked to the ground.

"Sealing Technique: Soul Separation!"

"Sealing Technique: Limb Pressing!"

"Sealing Technique: Flame Imprisonment!"

"Sealing Technique: Five Elements Sealing!"

The fallen Gamabunta was quickly pinned down by a group of Uchiha ninjas, who then unleashed a barrage of sealing techniques on him as if they were free.

"Who are you! Dare to state your name!"

With his chakra completely sealed, Gamabunta roared fiercely at Minato Namikaze.

"I am Minato Namikaze, the Special Jonin, the Police Inspector of the Konoha Police Department, the Head of the Anti-Black Squad of the Northern District Police Station, the person in charge of Lord Tokuko's Special Mission to Eliminate Extraordinary Beings!"

Minato Namikaze laughed heartily and, without hesitation, recited his long and tedious full title: "It is an honor for you, an anomaly, to be wiped out by my troops and become part of my achievements!"

After his resounding victory, Minato Namikaze made no attempt to hide his pride and arrogance.

The Uchiha ninjas also praised this immensely—the strong should have the right to let themselves go!

Compared to his usual humble and polite demeanor, Minato Namikaze's spirited appearance at this moment was indeed more in line with the Uchiha's temperament and tastes!

"Confirmed! All the alien summoned beasts have been eradicated!"

After observing the situation, the Byakugan ninja who arrived gave a definitive answer.

"very good!"

Minato Namikaze nodded in satisfaction. The Uzumaki ninja who was maintaining the barrier behind him saw the signal and quickly dispelled the barrier and ran over.

After all, it is extremely rare to capture a so-called sacred land summoning beast alive, and it is even rarer to capture a giant toad with Sage Chakra.

"...I'll remember you!"

Gama Tadashi stared intently at Minato Namikaze, his steel teeth grinding together as if he wanted to jump up and take a bite out of him.

But bound by countless sealing spells and incantations, it couldn't even struggle or twitch its body, let alone resist.

"How dare a mere outsider bark like that..."

Minato Namikaze scoffed at this.

Although he had a gentle personality, his work environment in the police department, coupled with his daily interactions with the Uchiha ninjas, gradually made him more domineering and fierce.

"Mount Myoboku will not forget you! Don't worry!"

Hama Zhong's face turned ferocious, and then his stomach let out a muffled "bong".

"This is……"

Minato Namikaze and the other Uchiha ninjas were immediately taken aback.

"Gama Kosuke has returned to Mount Myōboku. The Great Sage will know about today's events!"

Gamachuu continued to stare intently at Minato Namikaze, the hatred in his eyes growing stronger.

"you……"

After checking the sealing seals, Minato Namikaze found nothing amiss, then glared fiercely at the blushing, utterly humiliated Hyuga ninja.

It was only after they claimed to have confirmed the complete annihilation that the Uzumaki ninja lifted the barrier that sealed off the space travel of the Summoning Jutsu.

"Lord Minato... perhaps it was due to the interference of the sealing technique that he failed to discover that there was another one hidden inside its belly..."

A Hyuga ninja explained hesitantly.

"Never mind... I'll explain to Lord Deguang."

Minato Namikaze sighed, shook his head, and had the Uzumaki ninjas add several more sealing techniques to the already tightly bound Mount Myōboku toad. After arranging for personnel to clear the battlefield, he led his troops away from the scene.

Chapter 311 Shock and Anger: The Actions of Mount Myōboku

"Well done!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was very satisfied with the results of Minato Namikaze's extermination operation. Although a liaison frog had escaped unexpectedly, it was insignificant compared to the near-perfect victory.

In fact, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that leaking the information and letting Mount Myōboku know that the purge operation was led by Minato Namikaze was a good thing.

If, under such circumstances, Minato Namikaze, who is loyal to the police department and the Uchiha clan, can still be won over by Mount Myōboku, with whom he has a blood feud, then Tokumitsu Uchiha will accept it.

"The Hyuga side... made a mistake on the spot, so there's no need to punish them."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "In addition, you will be responsible for compiling and submitting reports on the contributions of others in this operation. Rewarding those who have made contributions is a principle of the Uchiha clan!"

"Thank you, Lord Deguang!"

Minato Namikaze was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately stood up and saluted.

Entrusting him with the responsibility of all battle merits distribution and operation reports also meant that he could gain the support of all the ninjas involved in the operation.

However, the premise is that the distribution of battle merits and the description of the performance of each participating ninja must be based on an absolutely fair stance.

"I'll just promote you to Chief Superintendent for now, and then give you a formal promotion during the grand conferment of ranks next year!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment and then added a sentence.

The reason for the last-minute decision to promote Minato Namikaze was due to a problem exposed during the recent extermination of the strange summoning beasts: the Uchiha ninjas were starting to become complacent.

The reason why the toads of Mount Myoboku have been so difficult to eradicate might be due to the intentional or unintentional indulgence of the clansmen in the police department.

This is what Uchiha Tokumitsu finds most intolerable.

As the saying goes, "An ant can breach a dam, and a burst of air can leak a needle's point."

Every major event requires the accumulation of small things, and the collapse of any organization is inseparable from the daily, invisible, intangible, and even insignificant slackness and corruption. If the police department's lax attitude and even its intention to nurture bandits are not stopped, the Uchiha ninjas in the police department will probably one day become the Eight Banners wastes in Uchiha Tokumitsu's past life memories.

However, those people were, after all, members of the clan, and Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't punish them immediately. After all, they had sacrificed so much for the clan, and he couldn't let them not even have the chance to "enjoy" themselves. So, he subtly warned them by promoting Namikaze Minato, and he also decided that no matter what the report Namikaze Minato submitted, all Uchiha ninjas would be demoted by half in their reward.

"Thank you for your promotion, Lord Deguang! I will do my utmost to serve you to the death!"

Minato Namikaze's face was beaming with joy; he was practically bursting with laughter.

He had just been promoted from probationary inspector to police inspector, and then immediately became chief inspector. Although he did have some merits, his promotion speed was unparalleled!

"Keep it up! The police department offers a great platform, enough for you to showcase your talents!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu concluded his report with a word of encouragement.

After Minato Namikaze took his leave, Tokumitsu Uchiha instructed his attendant ninja to summon the Uzumaki ninja and inquire about the situation of the toads from Mount Myōboku that had been captured alive.

This extermination of the alien summoning beasts was originally just to eliminate some hidden dangers and incidentally get Minato Namikaze stained with the blood of the Myoboku lineage. However, unexpectedly, they also managed to capture a combat-type toad with Sage Chakra, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Lord Tokumitsu..."

A smiling ninja from the Uzumaki clan knocked on the door and entered.

"How's it going? Have you got that toad under control?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked with a slight smile.

"The sealing process has been completed, and the accompanying summoning contract has been erased... The research institute plans to dissect the remains of the strangled toad summoning beast before conducting targeted experiments on the living specimen. This is the experimental plan that the research institute has unanimously agreed upon. Please take a look..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu took it, flipped through it casually, and placed it on his desk. "When do we plan to begin research on Sage Chakra?"

"...We will proceed with the research project after we have thoroughly understood the physical structure and characteristics of the alien summoned beasts."

The ninja from the vortex seemed somewhat unsure of himself.

His submitted experimental protocol consisted entirely of various anatomical and pharmaceutical tests, which were similar to the procedures of ordinary human experiments and were generally too conventional.

"The experimental protocol has been redone, with the core focus on the analysis of Sage Chakra."

Uchiha Tokumitsu rejected the Uzumaki ninja's proposal and funding application.

"...Yes, sir."

Having met with a setback, the Uzumaki ninja had no choice but to accept Uchiha Tokumitsu's instructions with a sullen face.

"Peace……"

After the Uzumaki ninja left, Uchiha Tokumitsu slumped in his chair and sighed softly.

Although they successfully seized real power in Konoha and even Kirigakure, and with a large-scale war unlikely to break out anytime soon, the main theme of the ninja world, except for the Land of Wind, was still peace; however, this led to some slackness among their subordinate ninjas, who even began to rest on their laurels and live off their past achievements...

"We need to stir things up..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu began to ponder slowly.

……

In Miaomu Mountain.

With a livid face, the sage Fukasaku hurriedly rushed to the Toad Sage's palace with the messenger, Toad Kousuke, who had managed to escape.
