At this moment, the three powerful members of the Uchiha clan who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan were leisurely staying in a shaded spot, eating slowly to restore their strength.
Looking at them, it was as if they were not standing on a brutal battlefield at all, but had come out for a relaxed vacation instead.
Even after a fierce fight, there was not a single scratch on their bodies. Only a bit of sand dust clung to their clothes.
The Sharingan already had outstanding dynamic vision to begin with, let alone the fact that all three of them had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
With such strength forming a battle formation, if they still ended up injured, that would truly be embarrassing.
At the same time, Sasori sat quietly to the side, fully focused on installing poisoned needles into his puppets and applying toxin.
This battle had gone unusually smoothly for him. Before this, even though he had been through countless life and death fights,
He had never experienced a situation like today, where he used up all the consumable ninja tools on his puppets without suffering any injury himself.
Thinking of this, Sasori could not help but feel secretly relieved: Luckily, he had ultimately chosen to accept Konoha's recruitment.
Konan stood there quietly. Suddenly, sheets of paper as white as snow began to fly out from around her body without end.
The papers seemed almost alive, floating lightly in midair, and quickly began sketching out complex and mysterious explosive tag markings.
In just a few seconds, over a hundred explosive tags had already been produced.
They spun through the air as if enchanted, then accurately reattached themselves to Konan's body.
After that, they quietly disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all.
Konan was practically an incredibly efficient explosive tag "printing machine," and this amount was only the tip of the iceberg for her.
As long as she had enough materials, she could mass produce thousands upon thousands of these powerful explosive tags.
Although the one who killed the most enemies in this trip to Sunagakure was likely one of the three who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, when it came to causing the greatest destruction to buildings, there was no doubt it was Konan.
After all, once the countless explosive tags in her hands detonated, the destructive force they unleashed was enough to make anyone gasp.
Subduing a ninja village was no easy task, but if the goal was simply to beat it into submission, according to Minato's estimate, it might not even take a full day.
———
On the other side, Chiyo had not participated in this intense battle.
After separating from Ebizo, she cleverly found a hidden place to conceal herself.
When Minato withdrew from the battlefield, he used his Flying Thunder God Technique and conveniently brought Chiyo out of the dangerous area as well.
At this moment, Chiyo stood at the edge of the ruins, calmly gazing into the distance, patiently waiting for Ebizo to send someone to receive her.
Before long, three figures came rushing over. It was Ebizo, along with two guards at his side.
Minato naturally noticed who had arrived. He stood up and cast a questioning look at Chiyo, and she nodded.
He sat back down, preparing to rest a bit longer.
"Inside these are the bodies of Furido, Reiko, and Karura, along with your research materials."
As he spoke, he slightly raised his head and quickly swept his gaze over Minato and the others standing nearby.
Sure enough, just as he had expected, there was not the slightest trace of injury on any of them.
Chiyo took the scroll containing the bodies of Furido and Reiko and handed it to Sasori.
Then she instructed Ebizo, "Alright, Ebizo, you go back first. In one hour, we will launch another attack from the east. You coordinate with us then."
Ebizo naturally understood how to cooperate. He nodded, "I'll go back and make arrangements."
When he was leaving, he looked at Sasori, his expression somewhat dazed.
Sasori still looked the same as he had when he was a child.
Ebizo had never married and had no descendants. In truth, Sasori was practically the only remaining heir of his family line.
He had not expected that a home once broken into pieces would still have a chance to reunite.
Ebizo was Chiyo's younger brother, which made him Sasori's great-uncle.
But their last meeting had been over twenty years ago. Even Sasori's memories were a little blurred.
Sasori naturally noticed Ebizo's gaze, but he did not say anything. If there was to be reminiscing, there would be time later.
Ebizo soon left.
Itachi looked into the distance at the faint outline of Sunagakure. A light breeze brushed through his hair, yet it could not blow away the worry between his brows.
Lowering his voice, he murmured to himself, "If the clan leader were still here, just by personally standing there, Sunagakure would probably surrender without a fight."
Shisui, standing beside him, heard this and gently patted Itachi on the shoulder, a trace of understanding in his eyes.
He knew exactly what Rengoku meant to Itachi. It was not simply the position of clan leader.
He had been the lifeline that pulled Itachi back from the edge of despair when he had lost his way and nearly made an unforgivable mistake.
If Rengoku had not stepped in back then, the Uchiha clan might no longer exist today.
"Don't worry, Itachi. The clan leader will definitely return safely," Shisui comforted him.
However, Itachi merely nodded slightly and remained silent, as if lost in memories of the past.
Makumi sensed Itachi's mood.
He belonged to the previous generation, slightly younger than Fugaku, and had already stepped into his thirties.
Compared to Itachi's sensitivity and heavy thoughts, Makumi was far more practical and steady.
"From the long term plan set by the clan leader, there are still many tasks waiting for us," Makumi said seriously, "Whether the clan leader is currently within the clan or not, these preparations must still be carried out by us."
"We should calm ourselves, handle our respective duties properly, and quietly wait for the clan leader's return."
In the past, even before obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan, Makumi had already ranked among the first tier within the Uchiha clan. His talent and strength were clear to everyone.
And when he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan at the peak of his chakra, eye power, and physical stamina, the speed of his growth far surpassed both Shisui and Itachi.
He was even capable of competing with the former clan leader, Fugaku.
To be precise, with both eyes now nearly crippled, Fugaku would probably struggle to withstand Makumi's fierce attacks.
It was worth mentioning that the pupil technique Makumi possessed was extremely special, allowing him to unleash power in battle beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
If Rengoku did not return for a long time, then the position of the next Uchiha clan leader would most likely fall into Makumi's hands.
Because of this, his voice within the clan was growing heavier and heavier.
Even Shisui and Itachi took his words to heart and nodded in agreement.
