Chapter 382: The Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King

"How do we do it?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang snorted coldly, pulled a document from his chest and tossed it over.

"Uchiha Clan Leader, this is the list of Uchiha Eagle Faction members, right?"

Looking at the names on the list, Uchiha Tanaka remained silent.

He lifted his gaze toward Uchiha Jing, his face exceedingly grim.

The Hokage knowing the Eagle Faction members' names—thanks to the Hokage Advisor's indispensable effort!

A group of Uchiha Clan's members glared antagonistically at the opposite Uchiha Jing.

"Uchiha Jing, you bastard!"

"Having served as Hokage Advisor for several years, have you even forgotten your own surname?"

"A traitor like you should be expelled from the clan!"

Hearing the clan members' accusations, Uchiha Jing bowed his head in shame, choosing not to argue.

He does not wish the clan and the village to become completely opposed, as long as this situation can be resolved.

What does it matter if the clan calls him a traitor?

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang waved his hand, and the Anbu behind him immediately stepped forward, encircling the Uchiha Clan's members.

"Hokage, you are really not taking the Uchiha seriously!"

Uchiha Tanaka's expression was shadowed, as he struggled to suppress the anger within.

"Clan Leader, stop wasting words with them!"

Uchiha Eagle Faction members led the incitement.

Uchiha Clan's members simultaneously activated their Sharingan, their crimson eyes staring directly at the opposing Anbu.

Honestly, being stared at by so many red-eyed ones at once is rather intimidating.

In the end, a clan possessing a Kekkei Genkai is indeed stronger than ordinary ninja.

Especially the Uchiha Clan, renowned in the Ninja World for their Sharingan.

But the Anbu did not retreat; they were all ready for battle.

The atmosphere grew tense.

As soon as the Clan Leader or the Hokage gives a single order, both sides will instantly erupt into fierce combat.

"Hokage, do you really intend to arrest the Uchiha's clan members?"

Uchiha Tanaka's voice was icy; his black eyes gradually turned crimson.

Although he has never agreed with the Eagle Faction's methods, that does not mean he can watch the Hokage come to capture people with his eyes open.

He is the Uchiha Clan Leader and cannot allow the Hokage to strike the clan members!

If Zhi Cun Tuan Zang were only to capture one or two people, he would have little objection.

The Eagle Faction indeed needs to be dealt with firmly.

But now it's not one or two people being captured, but all Eagle Faction members!

In such a case, Uchiha Tanaka naturally cannot let Tuan Cang run amok.

"I only capture the Eagle Faction members on the list," Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said expressionlessly.

His purpose in bringing his men here was clear: to bring all the evil Uchiha to justice!

And the Eagle Faction members are the representatives of the evil Uchiha.

He will not concede a single step, even if it sparks conflict.

"I understand."

Uchiha Tanaka slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was extremely resolute.

"Hokage, I will never let you run amok!"

"If you truly intend to capture the clan's members, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Hmph." Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said nothing, raised his hand and swung down.

The Anbu drew their weapons and rushed toward the Uchiha Clan's members.

"You've gone too far, attack!" Uchiha Tanaka roared.

Uchiha and the Anbu instantly clashed.

Lian Ye, seeing this, casually tossed several marked kunai into the field.

No one noticed his small action.

Yuanfei Rizhan wore a startled expression, "Fighting, already?!"

Before Tuan Cang came, he had specifically told them not to speak out of turn up to now.

He still thought Tuan Cang had devised a plan, but this is what happened.

Uchiha Jing, equally bewildered, quickly stepped forward to intervene after realizing what was happening.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

Unfortunately, whether Uchiha or Anbu, no one paid attention to him.

"Tuan Cang, make them stop quickly!" Yuanfei Rizhan said anxiously.

"Rizhan, have you forgotten what I said?" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang snorted coldly.

"Clan Leader, please make the clan members stop!" Uchiha Jing found his own clan leader.

Uchiha Tanaka gave him a cold glance, then withdrew his gaze.

"Lian Ye, quickly persuade Tuan Cang!"

Uchiha Jing and Yuanfei Rizhan's attempts at persuasion failed, and they found Lian Ye watching the show.

"What the hell, fighting so fiercely—no one should die!"

Lian Ye was watching the drama, and his view was blocked by the two anxious ones.

"You two move aside, don't disturb me while I'm watching."

"What are you still watching? Go persuade Tuan Cang!"

"Lian Ye, hurry up and go!"

"Fine, fine."

Facing their request, Lian Ye reluctantly agreed and went to Tuan Cang's side.

"Planning to exterminate the Uchiha here?"

Tuan Cang: "???"

"What are you talking about, you guy?"

"Nothing," Tuan Cang said in a muffled, gruff voice.

"Then why didn't you stop them?" Lian Ye asked curiously.

"The Uchiha are too over the line; I want them to know the price of angering me!"

Lian Ye's mouth twitched; he hadn't expected that reason.

"Don't forget Uncle's instruction: don't cause any deaths…"

"Got it, I have restraint," Tuan Cang nodded.

The ANBU are the Village's elite, and the Uchiha on the opposite side are equally formidable.

Both sides are evenly matched opponents.

No life‑threatening danger will arise in the short term.

That is precisely why Tuan Cang didn't intervene immediately…

Uchiha Tanaka also saw Tuan Cang's true intentions.

He went ahead and fought.

When Eagle Faction members get captured, this clan head won't be blamed by his own clan.

If the Hokage dares to mobilize troops, he must have prepared a backup.

He wouldn't be so foolish as to just storm in and capture people.

Uchiha Tanaka's gaze fell on Lian Ye, who was watching the show.

Could the Hokage's backup be him?

"Lian Ye, when the time comes, you go forward and stop them."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang whispered.

Teacher Feijian specifically instructed Lian Ye to come over, which is just telling him.

Is it really that something happened and they need Lian Ye?

Although the exact reason is unknown, one can unconditionally trust the teacher.

After all, the teacher wouldn't harm him.

Precisely because of that, he dared to order the ANBU to act against the Uchiha Clan.

Isn't it because they know Lian Ye has the ability to cover, that they dare act so recklessly?

If the teacher hadn't reminded him, his tone would certainly be more tactful.

He wouldn't directly offend Uchiha Tanaka, nor would a clash erupt.

"Fine." Lian Ye nodded.

They're just a bunch of Uzhibo Diaomin; when the time comes, just suppress them with overwhelming force.

To be honest, he's been displeased with Uchiha Tanaka for about twenty years.

Now he can finally retaliate against him with a legitimate pretext.

The battle in the arena continues.

As time passes, the Uchiha and the ANBU gradually unleash true flames.

They wish they could just kill the opponent outright.

If this continues, it will inevitably lead to deaths.

"Lian Ye, it's yours now," Tuan Cang turned his head toward Lian Ye.

He wonders what the reason is that Teacher Feijian gave Lian Ye the covering role.

"Watch closely."

Lian Ye twisted his mouth, revealing a crooked‑mouth Dragon King‑style expression.

Tuan Cang raised an eyebrow.

He seemed to smell an aura of showing off.
