Chiri: This Team Is Way Too Hard to Manage!

"Boom—!"

The chakra arrow fired from Izuna's Susanoo exploded with a thunderous roar, blossoming into a dazzling firework.

But the arrow hadn't hit Ginkaku or Chiri.

Instead, Reanimated Kinkaku, controlled by Tobirama, had thrown himself in front of it in time and blocked the shot.

"Bastard! What are you doing?"

Izuna turned his head toward Tobirama and demanded furiously.

"Bastard! What are you doing? Are you trying to kill Chiri?"

Tobirama roared angrily, clearly furious with Izuna's reckless rescue method.

"Shut up! What the hell do you know?"

"You're just jealous! You're even jealous of your own clan member. You're shameless!"

Tobirama thought Izuna was jealous of Chiri's talent and abilities, which might threaten his position as the Uchiha Clan's second-in-command. That was why he'd tried to kill both the hostage and her captor!

"You idiot! You don't understand the Uchiha at all!"

Izuna roared in a fury.

At the same time, Tobirama noticed that only Izuna's left eye was an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. His right eye was merely a Three Tomoe Sharingan.

In that instant, Tobirama understood Izuna's plan.

"You're going to use the Forbidden Jutsu..."

Izuna had secretly replaced one of his eyes with an ordinary Three Tomoe Sharingan, all in preparation to use Izanagi.

He'd planned to use the Forbidden Jutsu to twist away the fact of Chiri's death.

That was the real reason he'd dared to fire an arrow at both Ginkaku and Chiri. He hadn't meant to kill his own clan member; he simply didn't want Ginkaku to threaten him with a hostage!

Better to kill the hostage and the kidnapper together than let the kidnapper threaten him, then revive the hostage with a Forbidden Jutsu.

That was how the Uchiha Clan rescued people!

Unfortunately, such a perfect plan had been ruined by that idiot
