Konoha: Uchiha's Gorgeous Rebellion

Chapter 218 Short Book Street (3)

After Yamazo Saito and the other man left the tent, Sarutobi Seijiro looked at the subordinate who had spoken earlier.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Kukimaru, are those who attacked Uchiha Yuan the Root?"

The ninja named Kukimaru's expression changed, and then he said, "Yes, Captain."

Then he asked hesitantly, "Captain, when did you find out?"

Sarutobi Seijiro looked at Kukimaru with a serious expression and said, “As a former captain of the Anbu, I am also familiar with the contact methods of the Root.

Kukimaru, you were too careless. The marks you left along the way were too obvious to me."

Kukimaru lowered his head and said, "Captain, all of this is the order of Lord Danzo. I cannot disobey."

Sarutobi Seijiro said in a deep voice: "Kukimaru, I need you to understand that those Root ninjas following us can only be wandering ninjas, do you understand!"

Kukimaru showed a surprised expression and asked, "Captain, do you think those Root ninjas can't kill Uchiha Yuan?"

Sarutobi Seijiro showed a bitter look on his face and said, "Kukimaru, there are some things you don't know, so you don't know how powerful Uchiha Yuan is.

He is a scary guy, and those Root ninjas will probably fail in their attempts to kill him."

A few minutes later, more than a dozen figures were running at high speed in the night.

Yamazo Saichi led the way in front, and Sarutobi Seijiro led a team of Konoha ninjas following closely behind.

A gust of night wind blew towards him, and Sarutobi Seijiro's expression suddenly changed. He said, "Everyone, be alert!"

A strong smell of blood wafted from the night wind.

Then, the view in front of everyone suddenly became clear and a wide open space appeared before everyone.

"The battle is over?"

Kukimaru flew and landed next to Sarutobi Seijiro and said in surprise.

It took only a few minutes from the time Shan Zangqi reported the news to the time everyone set out to provide support.

Sarutobi Seijiro stared at the figure in the center of the clearing and said solemnly, "This was a brutal massacre. That guy was simply a Shura in the world."

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a scene like hell.

The earth was devastated, with cracks and shatters everywhere after being hit by a huge force.

Twisted limbs and broken arms were scattered everywhere, and the broken and mangled bodies revealed the cause of death. They were all killed instantly by unimaginable terrible attacks.

In the center of the open space, Uchiha Yuan held a head in one hand, staring deeply at a broken mask at his feet.

Swish.

Shan Zangqi appeared in front of Uchiha Yuan in a flash and asked with concern: "Master Yuan, are you okay?"

Uchiha Yuan showed a proud smile and said, "Don't worry, they are just a bunch of gutter bugs. I can crush them all to death with just one kick."

At this time, Seijiro Sarutobi flew down with Kukimaru and others; when he saw the mask under Uchiha Yuan's feet, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

That is a mask unique to Root Ninjas.

[Oh no, these bastards from the Root actually exposed their identities directly. Uchiha Yuan will definitely use this to cause trouble. What should I do! ]

"Uchiha Yuan, do you know who these attackers are?"

Sarutobi Seijiro turned his gaze from the mask on the ground to the head in Uchiha Yuan's hand and asked.

"They are a group of wandering ninjas. They can only be wandering ninjas, right, Captain Sarutobi?"

Uchiha Yuan looked at Sarutobi Seijiro with a playful smile.

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, Sarutobi Seijiro was stunned.

Then he met Uchiha Yuan's eyes and he immediately realized that Uchiha Yuan recognized these attackers as Root ninjas. But Uchiha Yuan didn't want to expose this fact for some reason.

"That's right, these damn stray ninjas actually dared to attack our people in Konoha. They are really courting death."

Sarutobi Seijiro laughed dryly.

Uchiha Yuan threw the head in his hand to Sarutobi Seijiro, and then said: "Captain Sarutobi, I'll leave this to you, is that ok?"

"No problem, leave this to me."

Said Sarutobi Seijiro.

Swish.

As Sarutobi Seijiro finished speaking, Uchiha Yuan flashed away using the instant body technique.

"Captain, Uchiha Yuan has left."

Kukimaru picked up the mask on the ground and looked at Seijiro Sarutobi.

Sarutobi Seijiro withdrew his gaze from watching Uchiha Yuan leave, looked at the head in his hand, and said with a complicated expression: "I know him, Narano Osamu, he is my partner in joining the Anbu. I didn't expect that he would die here."

Then, he turned his gaze to Kukimaru and said, "I will report the situation here to the Third Generation, and your words will serve as testimony."

"Yes, I understand."

The ambush by the Root was just a small episode for Uchiha Yuan; and perhaps because they were frightened by the deaths of those Root ninjas, Kukimaru and others clearly showed their fear of Uchiha Yuan during the rest of the journey.

The next day, after traveling for half a day, a prosperous town appeared in front of everyone. From afar, a large number of people could be seen entering and leaving the city gate.

"Lord Yuan, ahead is the most lively place in the Fire Nation - Tansho Street, where almost all the gambling houses in the Fire Nation are gathered."

Chiba Soichi said.

Uchiha Yuan withdrew his gaze from Tansho Street, looked at Sarutobi Seijiro and said, "Captain Sarutobi, let's set up camp early today."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Seijiro frowned and said hesitantly: "This is not appropriate. According to the original plan, we should camp near Ishihara Castle, which is a hundred miles away today."

Uchiha Yuan stared at Sarutobi Seijiro with deep eyes, and said in a cold voice: "I don't care about your itinerary plan at all. At this moment, I just want to stop and set up camp instead of rushing on the road."

The two looked at each other, and finally, as if sensing the firm will conveyed in Uchiha Yuan's eyes, Sarutobi Seijiro had to give in and said, "Well, let's set up camp in the field south of Tansho Street."

A moment later, in a plain south of Tansho Street.

Sarutobi Seijiro stared at the people who were setting up the camp. Kukimaru came up to him and said, "Captain, Uchiha Yuan went to Tansho Street accompanied by Chiba Soichi and others. He didn't look like he was exiled, but rather out for fun."

Sarutobi Seijiro glanced at Kukimaru and said, "How dare you say that to his face?

In the village, Uchiha Yuan can still be suppressed; outside the village, if we anger him, he may beat us up. "

Then, Sarutobi Seijiro said thoughtfully: "I remember that the adult has been staying in Tansho Street. I wonder if Uchiha Yuan will meet that adult."

"Captain, who is that adult you are talking about?"

"It's Princess Tsunade, one of the three ninjas."

Sarutobi Seijiro said with a respectful expression.
