Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

"Brother Orochimaru, I have an important task that I would like to entrust to you."

Orochimaru looked at Yanagi with interest, and slowly licked his lips with his tongue.

"I hope you can become the director of the newly established scientific research department."

"Research Department?"

Orochimaru instinctively licked his lips again. He originally thought that he would be assigned to the Anbu or be a Jonin squad leader, but he didn't expect it to be a new department.

"That's right. The ninja world now underestimates the power of scientific research. I hope the village can pay more attention to the power of science and technology."

"Did Liu-jun also notice this?"

There was a hint of surprise in Orochimaru's eyes. Although the current Orochimaru had not experienced the blows such as the Rope Tree Incident and began to fall into darkness, as a person with full scientific research talent, Orochimaru still had a strong interest in experimental research. However, he did not expect that Yanagishita attached more importance to scientific research than himself.

"Yes, I think the power of technology will have a greater impact on the ninja world in the future, as can be seen from the incident with Shimura Danzo."

"Danzo, even though I used to hate him, I never thought he would go down this path."

Jiraiya felt a little sad. A person he had known since childhood betrayed his village just for ridiculous power.

"That power? It would be nice if I could see it with my own eyes."

There is a fire called scientific research burning in Orochimaru's eyes.

"You'd better be careful. If you really encounter one, I can only suggest that you notify me as soon as possible." Liuxia said seriously. Even the Third Hokage was no match for the current Danzo Shimura, let alone the people in front of him.

"I didn't expect that guy could come up with such an experiment. I really underestimated him before."

Orochimaru thought of the white-haired man he hadn't seen for a long time. It turns out that humans are still so fragile, and their flesh and blood are so short!

...

Uchiha family.

At the beginning of the meeting, the newly promoted Jonin Uchiha Feng, as the representative of the fighting faction, angrily denounced the injustice of the village.

"Chief, we Uchiha can't go on like this. The village is really going too far!" Uchiha Feng's voice was full of dissatisfaction and anger.

After Uchiha Kagami passed away, not only did Uchiha and Konoha lose their bridge, but the Dove faction also lost a leader who could integrate their forces. Under the offensive of the fighting faction, they became increasingly weak, and now the young generation has basically turned to the fighting faction.

The dovish elder immediately rebuked: "Uchiha Feng! How can a ninja from the village say that!"

Uchiha Fengfei did not stop facing the elder's reprimand, but instead said sarcastically: "Don't say that? Elder, should we say thank you to the village for capturing our Uchiha clan members for experiments?"

"You! The mistake was made by Danzo Shimura, who has already betrayed the village. How can you put the blame on the village?" There was a hint of anger in the voice of the dove-like elder.

"Everyone knows that Sarutobi Hiruzen and that old man Shimura Danzo are in the same boat!"

"How dare you! Uchiha Feng, how dare you talk nonsense about the Hokage!" The elder's rebuke echoed in the conference room.

"Enough! This is the Uchiha clan meeting, not Konoha's shopping street! Do you still have any dignity as a thousand-year-old noble clan?" Uchiha Mitsuki frowned and shouted, driving the two men away.

But after they sat down, the great elder below started to attack again. "Mr. Guang, are we Uchiha just going to swallow our anger? The village has really gone too far this time. We Uchiha are bound to be looked down upon for doing nothing."

"Hongyi, how can you say such things? You know the situation of us Uchiha and the village," Uchiha Guangjun's voice revealed helplessness and worry.

When Uchiha Guangjun saw that even Uchiha Hongyi, who usually didn't speak directly, had to come out in person, he felt even more annoyed. It was not that he didn't know how to speak for the clan.

But facing the powerful Hokage faction now, who dares to oppose! Now the Hokage faction has another person like Senju Hashirama, but we Uchiha don’t have that person this time.

"Mr. Guang, times are different now. The Fourth Hokage is about to take office. As far as I know, his attitude towards us Uchiha reminds me of someone." Uchiha Hiroichi waved his hand and said with a smile, a cunning look in his eyes.

"You mean?" Uchiha Guangjun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and seemed to grasp the profound meaning of Hongyi's words.

"Yes, although his behavior is very similar to that of the one in our clan to the outside world, he is still very similar to that of the one in the Senju clan internally."

The younger generation of ninjas looked at the clan leader and the great elder playing charades, talking about this one and that one, and felt confused.

The older elders had an idea of ​​this, but they still had doubts about whether Liuxia could really be compared with the other two.

"You're right. How could I have forgotten this? What do you mean?"

Uchiha Mitsuru's frown that had been on his face for days finally relaxed. Ever since he learned that the people of the Senju clan had regained the power of Senju Hashirama, he had been worried about it. Now, after Hongyi's guidance, he was finally not worried anymore.

"Uchiha En, who was not a member of the clan before the Fourth Generation, was a teammate. Why don't we just...what do you think?"

"This is a brilliant plan! You are worthy of me!"

At the same time, similar discussions were taking place within another large clan in Konoha.

"Everyone, please, this is the fine tea that our clan has recently purchased."

The Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Suigetsu, who was sitting upright, was tasting tea leisurely, and only got down to business after everyone had put down their tea.

"I wonder what you think about this change of position of Hokage?"

"Master Patriarch, as a great clan of Konoha, it is better to be still than to move."

The head elder of the clan spoke calmly. This was the Hyuga clan's way of dealing with the world. If you don't take sides, you won't make mistakes. The clan has the Uchiha to support them, not to mention that the village cannot do without the strength of their Hyuga clan.

"The Great Elder is right!"

The remaining elders of the clan nodded in praise. For their clan, all they needed to do was enjoy a stable life, and remaining unchanged was the best option.

“Clan leader, we in the branch family thought…” A young elder among the branch family elders opened his mouth to refute.

"Hmm? This tea and fruit is really good!"

The Great Elder sipped the tea in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the newly joined elder of the branch family. It seemed that the branch family had been lacking discipline recently. When would it be the turn of these people to intervene in the clan affairs?

"Since the tea is good, please drink a few more cups, Great Elder."

After Hinata Yue finished speaking, he looked at the elder who had just spoken.

"this..."

"Clan leader, I am the newly promoted elder of the branch family. My name is Hikaru Yori."

Hiashi Yeli stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Ye Li, I wonder what you think about this matter?"

"Chief, I think our Hyuga clan should move closer to the Fourth Hokage!"

"Oh?"
