I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

On the fourth day of training with Uchiha Shisui, just after finishing the afternoon training, Uchiha Yu faintly heard cheers.

His senses were extremely sharp at this time, and before Uchiha Shisui heard the movement, he could distinguish the name that was mentioned repeatedly in the cheers-Orochimaru.

Uchiha Yu understood in his heart that Orochimaru finally completed the handover of frontline work and returned to Konoha Village.

It's just that Orochimaru's reputation seems to be a little bit high, probably beyond the expectations of the Third Hokage, or even... maybe beyond the tolerance of the Third Hokage?

The corners of Uchiha Yu's mouth curled up slightly. Through constant contact, he found that Orochimaru was very different from what he remembered.

Orochimaru attaches great importance to the position of Hokage and has done a lot of work seriously.

The various interest exchanges he had with Uchiha Yu and the rebel alliance he established were only a small part of the off-stage work he did.

Uchiha Yu knew from Elder Ryunosuke that in the past six months, there had been extremely frequent exchanges between Orochimaru and the ninja families of Konoha Village, as well as outstanding ninjas.

Including the Uchiha family, he sent people to communicate, but Uchiha Fugaku made a delayed response by neither rejecting nor agreeing because of the difficulty of making a choice.

What a catastrophically bad response.

Therefore, when Orochimaru did not want to give up the power of the Uchiha family, forming an alliance with Uchiha Yu was his natural choice.

However, the fact that he took action personally instead of sending trusted ninjas to communicate also proved that he valued Uchiha Yuu differently.

Since Orochimaru has done so much work, it means that he will never give up easily.

Uchiha Yu laughed because he had expected that in the next period of time, interesting things would definitely happen in Konoha Village, such as master-disciple disputes and personnel wars.

Uchiha Shisui couldn't hear the cheers in the distance, but he saw the teacher's smile and asked curiously: "Brother Yu, what are you laughing at?"

Uchiha Yu replied: "I heard the cheers, welcoming Lord Orochimaru back to the village. He is my old superior, so I am very happy."

Zhisui put his hands to his ears curiously, closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't hear it."

Uchiha Yu placed his right index finger on Shisui's Jade Pillow Point, carefully inputting a trace of the wind spirit's natural energy, and gently wrapped it around his ears.

Uchiha Shisui was shocked instantly. He shouted in surprise: "Wow, I heard it!"

"It's so clear, so magical. I seem to be able to hear the distance between them. Is this the world that Brother Yu hears?"

Uchiha Yu chuckled and said, "What do you think?"

Shisui stuck out his tongue and made a face. He already understood that the world he heard was far inferior to Uchiha Yu's perception.

With such exaggerated senses, it's no wonder that Yuu Uchiha is so powerful. Shisui's heart is filled with passion. He is determined to step up his training so that he can have such keen perception.

Suddenly Uchiha Yu withdrew his fingers and natural energy, and said to Shisui: "The time is up, if you continue to listen, you will feel uncomfortable."

"Will it feel uncomfortable?"

As soon as the rhetorical question came out of his mouth, Uchiha Shisui felt dizzy, and his eyesight went black for a while. It took him a while to recover.

He asked with lingering fear: "Brother You, what's wrong with me?"

Uchiha Yu nodded his forehead and replied: "After your ear power increases, you hear a lot of sounds. The reason why you don't feel the clutter is because the brain's subconscious filters out the unnecessary or unimportant sounds. the sound of."

"This work consumes a lot of money for the brain. Especially for you now, the burden is extremely heavy. After excessive consumption, you will naturally feel dizzy."

Uchiha Shisui's heavy breathing finally subsided. While wiping the sweat from his face, he asked, "So that's it. Is it just that the consumption of the brain is so terrible?"

"In a few minutes, I felt like I was running with weights for an hour."

Uchiha Yu rubbed his head and said with a smile: "The consumption of the brain is indeed very large, but it is not as exaggerated as you said."

"Although you feel terrible, it is just due to excessive consumption in an instant. As the body reacts, energy replenishment quickly catches up, and it only takes a few minutes to get better."

Uchiha Shisui agreed: "Brother Yu is right, I feel much better."

Uchiha Yu nodded at Shisui and said: "This state is also an opportunity. While the fatigue is still there, run the cycle refining method."

"yes!"

Uchiha Shisui was very obedient. He stepped down without hesitation, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice.

Uchiha Yuu saw that he had entered the state, carefully checked Shisui's body, and soon discovered the changes he had made to his technique.

After verifying it with his own body, he found that one of the errors should be caused by habit, three were clear optimizations, two were better solutions when the mental state was poor, and several others were unable to be solved in a short time. Make a judgment within time.

The harvest is not small.

Uchiha Yuu recorded all these on the scroll with satisfaction. When Shisui finished practicing, he pointed them out to him one by one and explained in detail why they were wrong and why they were right.

Since the second teaching a few days ago, Uchiha Yuu told Shisui about optimizing the technique, and praised him as a real genius. The praise made Shisui smile happily, which meant that he had made the matter clear.

From then on, when Uchiha Yu taught Shisui, he would carefully explain every adjustment, and seriously discuss his feelings with Shisui. He obtained valuable first-hand information, and the efficiency of the adjustment of the technique suddenly increased.

In just a few days, Uchiha Shisui had benefited a lot.

He absorbed Uchiha Yu's knowledge like a sponge, began to actively think about training issues, and actively participated in optimization and adjustment work.

Shisui's progress is so obvious that now Uchiha Yu will not only take the initiative to ask his opinions, but also treat every word he says carefully and not treat him as an ignorant child.

Uchiha Yu's respectful attitude is unprecedented. Don't say that Uchiha Shinyin doesn't have such an attitude. Even the awe of the servants at home only respects Shisui's origin, not him himself.

Uchiha Shisui felt proud from Uchiha Yu, which greatly increased his confidence. Fortunately, he had a humble personality and was not arrogant because of it. He just respected Yu more.

Moreover, in the past few days, Uchiha Yu frequently activated his natural energy and conducted precise inspections on Shisui, unknowingly leaking some information to Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui keenly sensed that Uchiha Yuu's abyss-like energy and seemingly ordinary chakra contained natural energy as terrifying as a volcano.

From this, he vaguely felt the power of Uchiha Yu. Although limited by his current knowledge, Shisui could not accurately judge how strong Uchiha Yu was, but this did not prevent Shisui from admiring him.

Because Shisui couldn't help but develop the worship of giants by comparing his own chakra with that of Uchiha Yu.

Uchiha Yuu did not participate in the excitement of Orochimaru's return to the village. He only heard about it from old man Shinyin. The scene was very exaggerated.

Not only were the ninja clan leaders in the village, such as Hinata Hizashi and Nara Shikamine, but also all the jounin in the village, it was almost like a jounin meeting was held.

The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, along with his old classmates Mito Kaden and Koharu Koharu, walked out of the Hokage building for several hundred meters and greeted Orochimaru like a star holding the moon.

In front of a sea of ​​people watching, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru performed a perfect meeting, showing the master-disciple relationship in a touching and moving way. Countless people were moved to tears.

The cheers of the onlookers were deafening, and most of the Leaf Village heard the movement. After repeated hesitation, Uchiha Fugaku finally rushed over with his trusted clan members.

Unfortunately, when Uchiha Fugaku arrived, Orochimaru and the Third Hokage had already entered the Hokage Building. He stood in the crowd of people leaving and secretly regretted it.

Uchiha Nobuyin couldn't help shaking his head when he said this, and said helplessly: "He ordered you to serve as the president of the study club before. I also thought that Fugaku might not be that stupid."

"But today it seems that he is still the 'Undecided Fugaku'. The order that appointed you should have been an unexpected extraordinary performance."

Yuichiro Uchiha also sighed, but then he cheered up and said, "Yu, I followed your plan and successfully convinced Elder Yuya, and finally opened up the situation among the doves."

"When will you meet Elder Ximi?"

Uchiha Yu calculated the time and said: "June 25th will be in four days. The monthly summary meeting of the Security Department will be on the night of three days later."

"The clan leaders and the elders of the Eagle Faction are all working in the security department, and their preparations will be very busy. The meeting between Elder Ximi and I is least likely to be interrupted."

Uchiha Yuu smiled and said: "Elder Yuya and I have too many topics to talk about in depth, and it will definitely take a lot of time."

Yuichiro Uchiha immediately agreed: "No problem, I will inform him when I get back."

Uchiha Ryunosuke asked curiously: "That guy Yumi is actually so obedient, Yuichiro, what reason did you use to convince him?"

Yuichiro looked at Yuu Uchiha, and after getting permission, he said, "I follow Yu's suggestion and make a condition to Yumi."

"After Uchiha Yu becomes the clan leader, he will fully support Shisui in becoming the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, and promises to hand over the position of clan leader to Shisui at the appropriate time."

"After Ximi confirmed it, he agreed to join us."

"What?"

Uchiha Shinyin and Uchiha Ryunosuke were shocked, especially the old man Shinyin was the most shocked.

Uchiha Shinyin has been taking care of Shisui for more than three years. When he was in poor health last year, the clan was vigorously looking for a guardian who could replace him. He had no idea that Uchiha Shinyon valued Shisui so much.

The old man squatted down and said angrily: "How is this possible? I asked him face to face last year, and he refused without hesitation. Why did he turn around today?"

"Old man, is my face so worthless?"

The old man Xinyin puffed his beard and glared angrily, which made Uchiha Yuu and the two elders laugh, making him even more angry.

Uchiha Yu was worried that the old man would be angry, so he quickly comforted him: "It's not that your face is worthless, it's that the situation is stronger than the person, and there is nothing he can do about it, Elder Xiya."

"Last year, your body was shaky and Shisui was not yet four years old, but your talent was fully revealed."

"Uchiha Shisui is like a piece of shining gold that needs strong protection, but your sudden weakness makes it possible for Shisui to become unprotected."

Uchiha Nobuyin said angrily: "I know, I just know that's why I work hard to find a new protector. Why doesn't this boy Xiya agree to my promise?"

Uchiha Yu replied: "Old man Shinyin, you have underestimated your prestige. Although you do not have a decent power in the clan, you can protect Shisui with your prestige."

"But if you die, Elder Xiya will not be able to protect Shisui with his own strength. If he comes forward forcefully, he will drag Shisui into the vortex of faction fighting."

"Because if Shisui is protected by Elder Xiya, it means he belongs to Elder Xiya's faction. It is inevitable that some ruthless elders will attack him."

"And if something happens to Shisui, the first person responsible is also Elder Yuya. The murderer can easily hide himself."

"So last year, Elder Yuya's protection was very dangerous. It would be better to leave Uchiha Shisui without a guardian and become a family treasure that does not belong to any faction."

"As long as everyone has the opportunity to get Shisui, no one will attack him and give him time to grow up."

Uchiha Nobuyin's mood calmed down. He fully understood at this time and sighed: "Sure enough, I wrongly blamed Yuya. With Shisui's talent, it only takes a few years for him to grow up."

"Yu, when you and Ximi meet, I will go with you. I will apologize to him. I have scolded him for more than a year."

As he spoke, Uchiha Nobuyin felt embarrassed. He tutted, "The last time I beat them, I was the cruelest to Yumi. I'm really sorry for this kid."

Yuichiro Uchiha rolled his eyes and snorted: "Haha, uncle, what you said is as if you hit me too lightly last time."

Uchiha Ryunosuke smiled and said: "Oh, uncle, you hit me pretty hard."

"roll roll roll!"

Uchiha Shinyin jumped up, and while making a sign of driving him away, he scolded: "If you say it again, if you say it again, I will beat you again. Don't you know that I will give it to the old man?"

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Yu watched the three old men being funny and laughed happily, and cheerful laughter rang out in the yard.

…

While Uchiha Shisui was laughing and laughing in the courtyard, under the same starlight, the Third Hokage personally sent Orochimaru away from the Hokage Building.

After Orochimaru came back with the newly formed snake army, the Third Hokage and Orochimaru had a meeting in the Hokage's office, which has not ended until now.

The two masters and apprentices talked about everything, from the death of Danzo to the authority of the root, from the layout of the front line to the research work in the village, from the education of the ninja school to the formation of new ninja troops, from the balance of power of the ninja clan to the various Conflicts in authority among functional departments.

Almost everything was discussed, except for the inheritance rights of the Fourth Hokage, nor the master-disciple relationship between the two.

The Third Hokage and Orochimaru fully exchanged views, demarcated the boundaries of their respective powers, and even made every personnel arrangement, but they did not mention Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Orochimaru smiled broadly, but left very disappointed.

After sending Orochimaru away, the Third Hokage's face was gloomy and he sighed one after another.

They both hope that the other person can't help but talk about feelings, but they both hold back at the same time.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped was that after Orochimaru surrendered, he would be able to transfer more power to him. It would be best to hand over the command and personnel rights of the snake army.

What Orochimaru hopes to see is that the third generation Hokage can soften his heart and express care and love to himself. It is best to clarify the inheritance rights of the fourth generation Hokage.

They were all very disappointed.

"It seems that Orochimaru no longer wants to obey your teacher."

Mito Kabuto's tone was full of disappointment and reluctance.

He and Koharu, who had gone to bed, appeared silently behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, and accompanied the Third Hokage as they watched Orochimaru's back gradually disappear at the end of the streets of Konoha Village.

Orochimaru's unwillingness to obey Sarutobi Hiruzen, coupled with the popularity he showed in the afternoon, shows that he is determined to become the Fourth Hokage.

Then he would never take over Shimura Danzo's dirty work, let alone attack the internal enemies of Konoha Village, such as the Uchiha family, for the benefit of the Third Hokage.

Because doing so will quickly damage Orochimaru's reputation and quickly ruin his reputation. He will become the third generation Hokage's best political weapon, but it will never have anything to do with the position of Hokage.

No one would accept a Hokage who once hid in darkness and was covered in stigma.

Not to mention the fifth half-Hokage in history, Danzo Shimura was not a Hokage at all. He was just an agent of the Hokage who took advantage of loopholes in the system to perform the responsibilities of the Hokage.

If Danzo had not died on the way back to the village, he would have known what a 100% vote of no confidence meant when he returned to Konoha Village.

The Third Hokage turned around slowly, his eyes filled with cold sternness, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that I actually taught a traitor. What a failure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mito Katoyan and said calmly: "Yan, I'll leave the root matter to you."

Mito Monohan lowered his head and said respectfully: "Hokage-sama, leave it to me."

Mito Kaden doesn't want to be Danzo's second best, but it's impossible not to do it. He doesn't have Orochimaru's reputation and strength, and he doesn't have the confidence to fight against the Third Hokage.

Danzo Shimura is dead, and the Third Hokage Group must have such a character who walks in the dark. If Orochimaru doesn't want to taint himself, then Mito Kaden can only do it.

Mito Monobu was very sad. He would have stayed on the dry shore without doing anything and would never make any mistakes.

As long as the Third Hokage is not ruined, he can always be comfortable.

Now he was forced to dive headlong into the mud, and the annoyance in his heart could almost turn into reality.

Because this kind of work is dirty and tiring, it is destined to have a bad end.

The Third Hokage will always die, and the Fourth Hokage will always come to power, and by then Mito Kadoba will have no choice but to step down.

The dark one without the protection of power can only end in death.
