Konoha Hypocrite-Chapter 263.1: Private Battle, Convincing Thoroughly

After Uchiha Tonan left the laboratory, he summoned all high-leveled officials of the Northern battlefront to the commander chief. These officials included representatives of various big clans participating in the war, as well as the squad leaders of the medical squad, logistics squad, corpse disposal squads, and so on.

“Tonan-sama, why did you call us here?”

“Recently, people are getting assassinated one after another within our Leaf base camp. At least, one or two of our comrades are disappearing almost every day. It won’t do if it goes on like this. I have decided to go out in person to the Cloud base camp to gather information. Moreover, I want to give them a taste of their own medicine at the same time.”

“But Tonan-sama, isn’t it a bit too dangerous to do something like this?”

“No, if I want to leave, no one in the Cloud base camp can make me stay there. And when I’m carrying out this mission, someone needs to take responsibility for making arrangements and decisions. So, I have decided to make Shimura Kyugo the interim commander.”

“Tonan-sama, I will do my best to complete the duties.”

“That’s good. Also, my absence must be kept strictly confidential. It is to avoid our enemies from getting anxious when they discover my action and directly rush over to our Leaf base camp and wreak havoc because Sandaime Raikage couldn’t capture me at that time. If that happens, it will be troublesome.”

After speaking, Tonan’s figure flashed and he disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

The battle of Kikyo Mountain was right around the corner, but Tonan, as the chief commander, naturally couldn’t just walk away from this battlefront. If by chance Sandaime Raikage came to attack after he left, what would he do? Therefore, it was better to strike first. Before leaving this battlefront, Tonan had decided to beat Sandaime Raikage until he was bedridden.

At the Cloud base camp, a chunin in charge of guarding the command tent yawned. Although he was said to be a guard, his duty was basically to take care of the aftermath of the violent rage of Sandaime Raikage. For instance, changing tables and chairs, leveling the ground, and so on…

As it was already the middle of the night at this time, the camp’s bonfire had no more firewood to burn. The flames were weakening and the darkness in the distance was approaching slowly.

In the Kumo command tent, Sandaime Raikage’s snoring was resounding like muffled thunder. Every time he exhaled, the tent would tremble. On the simple floor bed, Sandaime Raikage was lying on his back, and his mouth would move from time to time as if he was having some kind of sweet dream.

After a long time, he turned over comfortably, and his eyelids trembled a little and opened a bit.

All of a sudden, Sandaime Raikage’s eyes abruptly opened wide. He sat up in shock and subconsciously activated the Lightning Style Armor, and lightning-attributed chakra instantly covered his body. He saw that the curtain of the tent was opened at some point and a tall person was standing at the entrance.

The person lifted his hand and waved it toward Sandaime Raikage. He asked in a low voice, “Shush… are your injuries healed? Since you are healed, let’s go to fight. I can’t endure it any longer.”

Sandaime Raikage was slightly taken aback for a moment. But soon after, a look of eagerness appeared on his face and he nodded his head. As simple as this, he was taken away by Tonan.

The saying that Cloud ninjas had no brains was indeed true. Tonan was the commander of the enemy troops but at this moment, Sandaime Raikage didn’t think that he might be plotting something. Of course, this was also because Tonan had left the impression of being a reckless man and a battle lunatic in his heart.

It could be said that the strength of these two people had already reached the highest level of this era. Under their intentional concealment, the ordinary ninjas who were in charge of patrolling didn’t even notice them. But that was just for ordinary ninjas.

Just when the two people stepped out of the Cloud base camp, they saw ‘A’ and Killer B already standing outside, ready to fight. Sandaime Raikage and Tonan weren’t surprised to see them. The Raikage asked his sons in a deep voice, “What are you two doing here at this time? Go back and rest.”

‘A’ glanced at Tonan with disdain and said, “Father, do you want to fight with him?” Tonan suddenly looked tensed and hastily looked around. He said in a low voice, “Lower your voice a little. I’ve sneaked out to come here. If word gets out that I was here, I’ll be punished for sure once I return to the village.”

Hearing Tonan’s words, ‘A’ and Killer B’s expressions considerably softened. Killer B swung his hands and said with a relaxed look, “Yo yo… it’s a duel, it’s a duel… B also wants it… yo…”

Tonan turned his head and said to Sandaime Raikage in a low voice, “Let’s look for a bit farther and a quieter place. And let’s try to finish it before dawn. I must go back after that to deal with annoying official duties.”

Sandaime Raikage nodded his head, and the two of them disappeared in an instant, running toward the distance. ‘A’ and Killer B also followed, but they followed from far behind.

When ‘A’ exchanged moves with Tonan for the first time they encountered each other, Tonan left a shadow in his heart. In his heart, he had labeled Tonan as someone insidious and despicable.

He narrowed his eyes slightly looking at the backs of the two people that were rapidly getting farther and farther away from him. He then said to Killer B in a low voice, “Later, if father loses, I’ll block that fellow, and you are to bring father back to the camp immediately.”

Hearing this, Killer B asked, “What if father wins, yo yo…”

“If he wins…”
