I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

Orochimaru sent Akimichi Fengfeng away thoughtfully, and then relaxed and stretched.

He has made all preparations and is waiting for the right time to take action.

But in fact, this time is almost here.

Orochimaru stretched his waist for a particularly long time, and his movements were very exaggerated, bending backwards, and even the bones in his body made a crisp crackling sound.

After a long time, he slowly stopped stretching and let out a long sigh.

Under Nara Shikaku's gaze, Orochimaru ordered: "Nara Shikaku, go and inform Shikaku and ask him to take my little snakes and follow me out."

"Let's go meet my teacher and my classmate Jiraiya."

Nara Shikaku lowered his head: "I obey, Lord Orochimaru."

Shanzhong Hai opened his mouth and said: "Sir, please allow us to go with you."

Orochimaru smiled and said: "Okay, and... who is coming?"

Aburame Zhiwei replied: "It's me, Aburame Zhiwei, and we, the Aburame clan, are also willing to follow you."

Orochimaru:"……"

After hesitating for several seconds, he said helplessly: "Who is that? I heard what you said, and I also understand what the Aburame clan is thinking."

"By the way, let your father come to me later, otherwise I will really forget you. This is unfair to the Aburame clan."

Aburame looked at Orochimaru in surprise, and even replied with some surprise: "Lord Orochimaru, you actually remember me, please don't worry, I will inform my father."

Orochimaru shook his head. The intended leader of the Aburame clan was really a good ninja, but this talent that made people unconsciously ignore his existence was really a headache.

But Orochimaru didn't have too many emotions, but quickly left the secret conference room.

This was the former root secret room, but the root secrets were extremely strict, and only a few people knew about the many secret safe houses arranged.

With the sudden death of Shimura Danzo and the simultaneous death of a large number of root ninjas, many similar secret facilities became ownerless property.

After Orochimaru returned to Konoha Village, he found part of it and used it for his own use.

Later, he carefully searched all the gaps in Konoha Village through a large number of snakes, and found more underground buildings and secret rooms through secret passages such as ventilation holes.

After confirming that these were Genzu's lost items, they all became his secret property.

Among them are a secret passage that he dug himself, and 10 secret passages opened by Shimura Danzo.

In this way, Orochimaru can enter and leave Konoha Village at any time and without anyone noticing, and he can come and go freely.

After receiving an unintelligible secret message from Tsunade, combined with the large-scale support for the Rain Country in the village, and the information that the internal fighting in the Uchiha family had become public, Orochimaru naturally deduced that this was Uchiha Yuu being targeted.

His understanding of Uchiha Yuu was far beyond that of anyone in Konoha, and he understood instantly that no matter whether the Rain Country operation was successful or not, something big was going to happen in the village.

Orochimaru didn't have much contact with Uchiha Yu, but he was extremely certain that he had an extremely strong ego and was the kind of bastard who could rebel at any time if he disagreed.

Yes, Uchiha Yuu and Orochimaru are the same, so it is easy to smell the same smell.

Orochimaru also had Sarutobi Hiruzen as a teacher in Konoha Village, and the bond between them was difficult to break, but Uchiha Yuu had nothing.

He has no parents, no siblings, no close teammates.

Within the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Yuu is also an anomaly, and is targeted by Uchiha Setsuna.

The only person who really has a good relationship with him is the Cat Immortal from Cat City.

In other words, this bastard can run away at any time and turn around and become a rebellious ninja of Konoha.

By the way, this guy doesn't have the sense of honor of a ninja or the Uchiha family. He never wears a forehead protector or wears clothes with the Uchiha family emblem.

After Uchiha Yuu defected, he probably wouldn't consider himself a traitorous ninja.

The problem is that Orochimaru also knows that although Uchiha Yu has no bonds, his influence in the Uchiha family is not small. If he defectes, he will never leave Konoha Village alone.

This is not 30 years ago.

When Uchiha Madara chose to rebel from Konoha Village and became the first rebel ninja, the Uchiha clan enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous life in Konoha Village under the care of Senju Hashirama.

The Uchiha people started families, got married and had children one after another. They were very satisfied with their lives and full of hope for the future, so no one chose to follow their clan leader.

And today?

After 20 years of continuous targeting, hostility, suppression and exclusion, the Uchiha family has long been full of resentment.

The older Uchiha ninjas can still earn a living in the security department and prisons, but they are still too early to retire completely, and the positions they occupy cannot be vacated for ten years.

Life was difficult for the young Uchiha shinobi.

If they join other people's ninja teams, they will be treated differently by their teammates. If they form their own ninja team, they will be hostile to the mission center.

No matter how you look at it, the future is bleak, and the way to repay the money is worrying. There is no hope at all.

If Yuu Uchiha raises his arms, he can take away most of the Uchiha, especially young people under the age of 20!

and all members of Tiger Force.

Konoha Village cannot lose Uchiha, but it cannot accept Uchiha investing in other ninja villages, and it is absolutely impossible to accept the Tiger Troops standing in the hostile camp.

That would be a nightmare.

Therefore, Orochimaru ignored the order and hurried back to Konoha Village, entered the village through a secret passage, and contacted his own forces to prepare for response.

He also didn't expect that not only the Aburame clan would take the initiative to come closer, but even Sarutobi Hiruzen's old team and the Ino, Deer and Butterfly clan would also take the initiative to come closer.

These four families are deeply rooted in Konoha Village and have intricate relationships. They casually contacted Orochimaru through the Xiao Ninja clan.

At this point, Orochimaru's situation has become a success, and only the Hyuga, Inuzuka and Uchiha clans in Konoha Village have not joined Orochimaru's command.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether they join or not.

Due to the conflict between the main family and the branch family, as well as the suppression of the caged bird, the Hyuga family is a coward, and has always been weak and powerless to the outside world.

The ninjas of the Inuzuka clan are too fierce and naive, and no one can use them to deal with dark affairs, not even the Third Hokage, nor Orochimaru.

As for the Uchiha clan, it is now apparent that they have been pulled into the camp by the Third Hokage, but Orochimaru knows that most of the power of the Uchiha clan is actually in the hands of Uchiha Yu.

In particular, the Tiger Force, which is feared by all senior leaders, is 100% under the command of Uchiha Yuu, and it is difficult for others to use it.

Especially after the tragic loss in the Land of Rain, the Third Hokage could only control Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna, as well as their last few cronies.

Orochimaru set off very relieved.

He sneaked into Konoha Village, but when he left, he walked through the main entrance openly, and brought with him the neatly arranged snake troops and the elite team of Ino Shika Die.

As scouts, the ninjas of the Aburame clan set off one step ahead and did not walk in the queue.

Orochimaru's high-profile trip caused a sensation in Konoha Village. The villagers and ninjas who were still unaware of the defeat in the Rain Country started talking and speculating about what happened.

…

Even without flying, Uchiha Yuu was still very fast. It only took him a few minutes to reach the pass and then stopped.

He only glanced at it and then asked with a smile: "I think the smell here is very strange. Is someone preparing for an ambush?"

At this moment, someone shouted an order: "He is already within the barrier, start!"

As the order was given, a circular light curtain quickly rose from the ground to the sky, and indeed it enveloped Yuu Uchiha.

Seeing this scene, the ninjas swarming out of the pass burst into cheers.

"Caught!"

"Great, he can't run away!"

"Pay attention to the formation. Since we have trapped him, there is no need to consider outflanking. Advance steadily and push him to the barrier and burn him to death!"

Uchiha Yu naturally turned a deaf ear to these words. He looked at the rising light curtain around him and quickly recognized that the barrier emitting dark purple light was probably a variant of the Four Purple Flame Formation.

With a huge numerical advantage, the flame formation is transformed into a barrier using sealing techniques. The flames are more powerful, have a wider range, and can be deformed at will.

"The barrier class and sealing class in Konoha Village have made a lot of achievements over the years. Not bad, not bad."

Just at the edge of the barrier, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama commented with satisfaction: "No worse than the Uzumaki clan."

Senju Hashirama is also an expert in sealing arts. He agreed with his younger brother's evaluation and nodded repeatedly.

Among the three, only Hatake Sakumo specializes in physical arts, sword arts and wind escape. He doesn't know much about sealing arts and can't make any evaluation at all.

But when he heard the Second Hokage say that he was no worse than the Uzumaki clan, he couldn't help but be startled.

Senju Hashirama didn't notice the change in his expression, but Senju Tobirama keenly captured it.

So he curiously asked: "Sakumo, do you have any ideas?"

Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision, so he answered: "Second-generation Hokage-sama, the sealing techniques of Konoha Village... are the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, and they should all be inherited. ”

When Senju Tobirama heard the word "inheritance", his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately asked: "Inheritance? Why inheritance? How is the country of Uzumaki? And Uzumakigakure Village...has something happened?"

Hatake Sakumo nodded and sighed: "The country of Uzumaki has been destroyed, and Uzumaki Gakuin Village has been completely destroyed. The Uzumaki clan has either been killed or dispersed to all parts of the ninja world."

Senju Hashirama's face darkened for the first time, and he said, "Why didn't Konoha Village protect the Country of Uzumaki? Why didn't Konoha Village accept the remnants of the Country of Uzumaki?"

The First Hokage was angry. Although he did not exude a strong aura, Hatake Sakumo still felt frightened when he faced him.

A powerful ninja who once dominated the Kingdom of Wind, Kingdom of Rain, and Kingdom of Tang, he was always able to calmly kill through the encirclement of thousands of ninjas without feeling the slightest fear.

But in front of the First Hokage, Hatake Sakumo felt it.

He raised his hand and saw that his fingers were trembling involuntarily. He could only clasp his hands to stop the trembling, and then replied in the calmest tone possible: "Shogaime, I only know that Konohagakure has received information that Uzumaki Village is under siege. By then, it was already very late.”

"At that time, only the Senju clan formed a rescue team and went to the Kingdom of Whirlpool, despite the dissuasion of the Third Hokage."

"The Third Hokage did not stop the Senju clan, but he did not immediately organize a rescue force. Instead, he waited for two more days before sending a large force."

"As a result, the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan were completely wiped out. The rescue team did not rescue anyone, but only brought back a large amount of sealing technique information."

Senju Hashirama's face was extremely gloomy. He had a simple character, but he was by no means stupid.

In the process of Hatake Sakumo's narration, there were too many contradictions and unclear explanations. Almost only the Hokage himself deliberately acted and cooperated with the enemies who attacked the country of whirlpool, so that such a tragedy would happen.

Senju Hashirama suppressed his anger and asked again: "Do you know any more details?"

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and replied: "First generation, I had not yet become a jounin at that time, nor did I join the rescue team. I don't know the specific reasons and details of the rescue."

"You need to ask the Third Hokage, or the elder Shimura Danzo who led the rescue team, to know more details."

Senju Hashirama nodded and agreed: "You are right, you should ask the monkey."

Then he turned to look in the direction of the pass and said calmly: "Fortunately, he is right here."

Senju Tobirama's expression only got worse. Although he had been exposed to dirt more often and had more communication with the outside world, he really didn't know anything about the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Even when chatting with Tsunade, Tsunade would deliberately avoid these sad topics and talk about happy things.

If he had known about the Whirlpool Kingdom earlier, he would have exploded long ago.

Because Senju Tobirama now thinks of countless darkness, and makes up a series of conspiracies in his mind to fill in the unreasonableness of the matter, but in the end it comes down to one point.

Something is wrong with the Third Hokage.

The power structure designed by the second generation Hokage determines that nothing in Konoha Village can really be hidden from the Hokage. Even if it is ignored, the Hokage can still know all the information beyond the roots.

As the powerful Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen must not only be informed about the affairs of the Whirlpool Country, he must be deeply involved in it.

Because this country is on the edge of the Country of Fire, during the war commanded by Senju Tobirama, the ally of the Country of Whirlpool was besieged.

In the end, Konohagakure and Uzumaki Village attacked from inside and outside, defeating the coalition forces of Kirigakure, Kumogakure and Sunagakure Village in one fell swoop, establishing the basis for victory in the war.

With this precedent, even if the four major ninja villages unite, no one will have the courage to attack the country of the vortex before the Leaf Village is completely defeated.

Unless they received guarantees in advance, Konoha Village would never provide timely rescue.

Senju Tobirama didn't even speak. He was the first to step forward. He really wanted to know the answers to these questions, and the person who could answer them was right in front.

Hatake Sakumo didn't hesitate and followed directly.

He also had many questions that he wanted to ask. A few years ago, his faith collapsed. Because he was so heartbroken that he couldn't even think of asking these questions, he cowardly chose to commit suicide.

Now, he has recovered from death and can finally ask "calmly".

…

Just as the Konoha ninjas were forming their formation, Uchiha Yu suddenly moved.

He jumped up with a little force, and then flew up at high speed. In an instant, he flew out from the top that had not yet closed, shocking all the Konoha ninjas.

Uchiha Yuu's ability to fly was something they had never considered, and his flying speed was so fast that it was impossible to stop him.

The Third Hokage also stood up and looked at Uchiha Yu who was already outside the barrier, his face as gloomy as water.

Beside him, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes widened and he murmured in disbelief: "How can it be possible to fly?"

Uchiha Setsuna was also stunned and blurted out: "Did he awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan and thus have the flying eye technique?"

Jiraiya stood on the other side of the Third Hokage. He was startled when he heard the words. He looked up, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see Uchiha Yu's eyes clearly.

He whispered: "Boss Fukasaku."

Standing on his shoulder, Fukasaku Sennin responded: "I understand."

After saying that, he and the toad formed seals together, quickly completed the synchronized magic, and at the same time shouted in a low voice: "Immortal Technique: Toad's Dream Vision!"

With Fukasaku Sage as the main one and Jiraiya as the assistant, the two people's senjutsu chakra gathered in front of them and quickly built a huge eye.

The golden eyes and horizontal pupils are obviously the toad's dynamic vision eyes.

With the help of this giant toad eye, Jiraiya easily enlarged his field of vision, clearly seeing Uchiha Yuu's face hundreds of meters away, and even saw his eyes clearly.

After Jiraiya saw it clearly, he couldn't help but gasped and exclaimed: "Sure enough! His Sharingan is the Mangekyo Sharingan!"

The Third Hokage couldn't help but exclaimed: "Jiraiya, did you see clearly?"

Jiraiya asked dissatisfiedly: "Old man, can I still see clearly?"

"His eyes have red pupils, but the lines in his eyes are not magatama, but three intertwined rings. Of course they are kaleidoscopes."

The Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Fugaku and asked, "Is it really the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and replied: "As long as the Sharingan is not a magatama texture, it must be a kaleidoscope."

Then he looked at the Third Hokage and said hesitantly: "Sir, the Third Hokage, I..."

His words were severely interrupted by the Third Hokage: "Fugaku! Now is definitely not the time for you to be soft-hearted!"

"Uchiha Yu actually hides it so deeply, which shows how deep his thoughts are!"

"I'm sure he knew the situation was serious when he saw us, and the fact that he has chosen to escape is enough to prove that he is already a traitorous ninja of Konoha Village!"

"We have to take him down today, at any cost."

"You have to know, he can fly. If we can't capture him today, we and the Leaf Village will never have peace."

Fugaku was said to be at a loss and asked subconsciously: "But, he can fly, how should we catch him?"

The Third Hokage: "This..."
