He was no longer a tired veteran who had long held the burden of great power and responsibility, but one of the most dangerous elemental fighters of the last few decades.
The enraged Hokage's CI fell upon those present like an avalanche, though it was mostly focused on the perpetrator of such feelings, but even so, it knocked the only civilian unconscious and made the weaker fighters sweat profusely.
A couple of Anbu failed to maintain their disguises and slid shamefully off the walls, but no one paid any attention to it. Naturally, I wasn't impressed - Mito-chan was giving off killing intent as if she wasn't twice as tough.
As I watched the events unfold, I struggled to keep from smiling a vengeful grin while holding my face like a brick. He'd finally get what he deserved for trying to eliminate me! Even though I had some plans to eliminate the one-eyed bastard, I was not sure of their effectiveness, but it turned out even better than expected.
Uncle once again proved that with a skillful approach, enemies can be removed by other people's hands so that no one would suspect his intervention. To be more precise, they might suspect it, everyone here is paranoid, but when all the participants of the prepared production act completely independently, albeit in accordance with the expectations of the director, it will be difficult to prove it.
