Chapter 562: Akimichi Torifu was irritable, and Shikaku had a massive headache!

Yamanaka Inoichi was filled with emotion.

Yes.

He was truly moved; such matters really were the specialty of the Nara clan.

They considered problems so comprehensively.

Without anyone noticing, they had already prepared their escape route.

No one could even say that the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had violated the agreement made when the village was founded.

After all.

It wasn't that the three clans were betraying the Hokage, but rather that some traitors had emerged from within their ranks.

They wanted to eliminate these traitors, but since they were currently under Uchiha protection, they had no good way to do so for the time being.

As for verifying it?

Even more impossible!

Because the 'strife' and 'discord' within the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had been going on for who knows how many years.

Everyone knew about it!

What they didn't know was that the so-called strife within the trio was actually something deliberately manufactured.

"Alright, Inoichi."

"Since you know now, hurry up and make arrangements once you return."

"In my opinion, the ninjas from the Rock Village front should be back in three days at most."

"There is one more thing you must keep in mind."

"Even if this group of clansmen defects to the Uchiha, we are still part of the Hokage faction."

"No matter what we encounter next, we must help Lord Hokage with all our might!"

"You cannot fake this, you cannot just go through the motions; you must give it your all."

"Don't take others for fools, understand?"

Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice.

This matter was very important.

Honestly.

He wasn't worried about his own Nara clan; after all, given the Nara clan's genetics, there were basically no fools in their clan.

But as for the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, he really wasn't entirely at ease.

Therefore.

He naturally had to explain this strictly.

Yamanaka Inoichi nodded.

Being a clan head, he could naturally understand Nara Shikaku's deep intentions.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke solemnly.

"Shikaku, don't worry."

"Once I return this time, I will warn everyone."

"I am well aware of the dangers involved in switching allegiances this time, and I guarantee there won't be any accidents."

Nara Shikaku nodded.

It was good that his old friend understood; otherwise, he really wouldn't be at ease.

After all.

Although their behavior was clever, it was effectively walking a tightrope.

One slip, and it would be easy to fall into an abyss from which there is no return.

Sigh!

After a helpless sigh, Nara Shikaku spoke softly.

"It's good that you're aware of it!"

"However, it doesn't matter."

"Let's properly plan and arrange things tomorrow after Senior Akimichi Torifu and Choza come over."

"I'm truly tired now; I need to go back and catch up on sleep."

"Inoichi, you should head back too."

Yamanaka Inoichi nodded.

He could naturally see Shikaku's exhaustion, so after his doubts were resolved, he felt embarrassed to disturb Shikaku any further.

Immediately.

He stood up to take his leave, said a word to Nara Yoshino, and left cautiously.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Nara Shikaku had just woken up, groggy, and before he could even brush his teeth or wash his face, Yamanaka Inoichi arrived with Akimichi Torifu and Akimichi Choza.

The elder Akimichi Torifu came in and immediately started berating him.

"Shikaku, what's going on?"

"I heard the general situation from Inoichi; has it really reached such a serious point?"

"This step is not easy to take!"

Akimichi Torifu looked very serious.

Especially when looking at Nara Shikaku, his entire aura was extremely heavy.

Yes.

When he heard these words from Yamanaka Inoichi, he was completely stunned.

You have to know.

He, along with Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, belonged to the same generation of students under the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

Therefore.

Akimichi Torifu understood Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group better than anyone else.

Even if a powerful figure had appeared among the Uchiha, he still didn't want to become enemies with Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others.

It wasn't because of their bond as fellow disciples, but because he understood better than anyone how ruthless and vicious Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others could be.

Once a mistake was made.

The consequences would be unimaginable!

And, on the other side.

Nara Shikaku, who was just about to wash his face and brush his teeth, was also dumbfounded seeing Akimichi Torifu.

Good grief.
