Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Yingyue was filled with gratitude towards Uzumaki Mito in his heart.

Without the support of Uzumaki Mito, as the descendant of Senju and Uchiha, especially after the ability of Wood Release was demonstrated, he would inevitably attract more attention and even hostility.

But precisely because of the protection of Uzumaki Mito, the Konoha high-level officials chose to wait and see and support rather than be hostile when facing Kagezuki.

After overcoming the crisis of trust, Uchiha Yingyue decided to focus on improving his own strength and accumulating knowledge. In order to use his time more efficiently, Yingyue cleverly used the Wood Clone Technique of Wood Release.

Uchiha Kagezuki sent the wooden clone to the Ninja School to continue learning and consolidating the basic knowledge of the Ninja world. Kagezuki also had another wooden clone stay in the Konoha Library to read and study various ninjutsu, history, and science and technology books.

The rich knowledge in the Konoha Library gave Yingyue a deeper understanding of the history of the ninja world and the mysteries of ninjutsu.

At the same time, Shadow Moon followed Might Steel and Might Dai, father and son, and focused on physical training. Shadow Moon not only trained his physical strength, but also continued to study the techniques of the Eight Gates.

In the past two years, Yingyue's physical fitness has improved significantly, and Yingyue's mastery of the Eight Gates has become more and more proficient. Now he can open the four gates of Kaimen, Xiumen, Shengmen, and Shangmen.

Yingyue's other wooden clone stays in the Konoha Library almost every day.

The library is a treasure trove of knowledge in Konoha Village, with all kinds of books on ninjutsu, history, geography, strategy, etc. By reading these books, Yingyue further enriched his knowledge reserves and began to develop a keen interest in various complex ninjutsu.

While studying in the library, Yingyue gradually noticed that there was a young man about twenty years old who often appeared in the corner of the library.

This young man has long gray-black hair and his eyes reveal a calm and wise look. He is always immersed in various ninjutsu scrolls and ancient books, showing an extreme desire for knowledge.

Uchiha Kagezuki noticed the young Orochimaru. Although his current image is somewhat different from that in the future, Orochimaru's temperament is still quite unique. Orochimaru is probably the only strange guy in the entire Konoha Village.

Yingyue decided to make friends with Orochimaru. Orochimaru is a scientific research genius in the original work. He is a top-notch genius in the entire ninja world whether it is forbidden ninjutsu, body modification, genetic modification, or scientific inventions. Having a good relationship with Orochimaru will be of great help to his future plans.

One day, when Yingyue and the young man reached for the same book about the structure of the human meridians at the same time, their eyes met in the air. Yingyue noticed a flash of surprise in the other's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a polite smile.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect anyone would be interested in this book." The young man spoke first, his voice gentle and a little hoarse.

Yingyue smiled slightly and handed the book to the other party: "No, it should be because I am late. Please use it first."

The boy took the book, looked at Yingyue carefully, and then introduced himself: "My name is Orochimaru. What's yours?"

"Uchiha Kagezuki," Kagezuki responded, feeling a little interested in the name Orochimaru.

As the two talked, Yingyue discovered that Orochimaru had an extremely strong interest in ninjutsu, especially various unpopular and advanced ninjutsu theories. During the communication, Yingyue, because of his ability as a "Ninjutsu Professor", the advantage of knowing the plot and the perspective of a modern person, constantly put forward some insightful insights, which made Orochimaru extremely surprised and agreed.

As time went by, Yingyue and Orochimaru had more and more contact in the library. The two often discussed the principles and applications of ninjutsu together and exchanged their research experiences.

Kagezuki's ability of [Ninjutsu Professor] gave him a very deep understanding of ninjutsu, and Orochimaru quickly absorbed Kagezuki's insights with his great talent and wisdom.

Orochimaru gradually discovered that Yingyue was not just an ordinary ninja who loved learning. His understanding and analytical ability of ninjutsu were no less than his own, and even better in some aspects.

"At first I thought I was pursuing knowledge alone, but I didn't expect that you were the same, Yingyue." Orochimaru said with a rare sigh in his tone after a discussion.

Yingyue smiled and said, "Knowledge is the source of power. I have a strong interest in knowledge and hope to master more."

There was a glimmer of recognition and appreciation in Orochimaru's eyes: "Kagezuki, I rarely meet people like you. You are a genius like me."

Shadow Moon felt recognized by Orochimaru, and while their goals might be different, their pursuit of knowledge allowed them to form a strong friendship during their time in the library.

Once, the two discussed until late at night. Uchiha Kagezuki and Orochimaru sat in the corner of the library, with various books piled in front of them. The two were immersed in discussions about future plans and goals.

"Kingyue, what do you want to do in the future?" Orochimaru asked suddenly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Uchiha Kagezuki thought for a moment and answered frankly: "My ideal is to become a Hokage and protect the peace and stability of Konoha Village."

Orochimaru smiled slightly after hearing this, his eyes sparkling with wisdom: "Becoming Hokage is a great goal. But I have different pursuits. I want to master all ninjutsu and explore all mysteries."

Uchiha Yingyue nodded: "Everyone has his own pursuits. No matter what, I hope we can all find true strength in the pursuit of our ideals."

Orochimaru nodded solemnly: "Yes, Shadow Moon. I look forward to exploring the limits of ninjutsu and discovering the truth of this world with you in the future."

Uchiha Kagezuki recalled his understanding of the plot of Naruto and his perspective as a modern person, and a bold plan gradually emerged in his mind.

With the ability of "Ninjutsu Professor", Yingyue's understanding and research capabilities of ninjutsu have far surpassed ordinary people. Yingyue knows that exploring the secrets of the ninja world and enhancing strength through the combination of science and ninjutsu is definitely a major direction for the future.

"Orochimaru's talent should not be underestimated. If we can cooperate with him and build a laboratory, we may be able to explore many hidden powers and even have a chance to unlock the powerful secrets of the Otsutsuki clan." Yingyue thought secretly in his heart, with a shrewd light in his eyes.

Uchiha Kagezuki began to imagine that the laboratory of the future would not only be a place for the simple study of ninjutsu, but also a base for extensive experiments, analysis, and creation, studying various ninjutsu, bloodline limits, the properties of chakra, and even genetic experiments to explore the source of the Otsutsuki clan's powerful strength.
