Naruto's Best Actor

Chapter 53 Pursuit

The conference room that was originally full of people now became deserted, with only Sarutobi Hiruzen and the advisory group remaining.

The sunny weather outside the window is covered with dark clouds and the sun is dim. It seems that when a gust of wind blows, it will break the clouds and the accumulated water droplets will fall.

"What's going on, this Uchiha Fugaku?"

Danzo Shimura, who was sitting in his seat, finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke.For the top management of Konoha, it is nothing to send some benefits to the major ninja villages. What really worries them is Uchiha.

As an old rival and ally of the Senju clan, Uchiha was the patriarch who established Konoha, and was also an unsettling factor in the eyes of these senior officials from the Senju clan.

This meeting held by Konoha's top brass was to let all the ninjas in Konoha see Minato's ability as Hokage and his disdainful efforts for the peace of the village.

But with the intrusion of Uchiha Fugaku, all this came to nothing.

"Do you think Uchiha Fugaku can defeat this reckless man like the Third Raikage?"

Xiaochun asked after going to bed.This is also the question in the minds of others present.The Third Raikage, who single-handedly suppressed the Eight-Tails many times, is known as the strongest lightning escape ninja.

Uchiha Fugaku was the junior of everyone present, and everyone present knew his strength to some extent.If he wins, the Uchiha clan's reputation and influence in Konoha will be greatly enhanced.

But if they lose, the Uchiha clan will become the laughing stock of Konoha and even the major ninja villages.

In a sense, the high-level officials of Konoha present were more hopeful that Uchiha Fugaku would lose, and then everything would return to the track they expected.

"It's hard to say." Mito Kadoren adjusted his glasses, "How could Uchiha Fugaku break into the conference room if he wasn't completely sure?"

"Uchiha has always claimed that they have been trying to enter the village council for so many years since the second generation drove them to the guard. But I didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku would actually take risks and risk the interests of the village."

There was a hint of disgust in Danzo Shimura's tone.Among the people present, no one had a more extreme attitude towards Uchiha than Shimura Danzo.

After turning to bed, Koharu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. He had been standing by the window since just now, saying nothing.

"Hiruzhan, what do you think?"

"You guys should go out first, I want to be quiet."

Looking at the dark sky in the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said.

"Sarutobi"

Danzo Shimura stood up and said urgently.

"The situation is already like this. Not only the ninjas from other villages, but also us people in Konoha are also paying attention to this competition. We can't stop it, and we can't stop it. Let's wait and see what happens."

Shimura Danzo wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Koharu, who was sleeping next to him.She shook her head and finally exited the conference room with the other two members of the advisory group.

The conference room became much cleaner, but Hiruzen Sarutobi could not relax.

A black shadow flashed and appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I am not opposed to the competition between Uchiha Fugaku and the Third Raikage. To a certain extent, I would rather see the Uchiha clan change and completely integrate into Konoha like the Senju before. It's just that becoming Konoha's Uchiha, not Uchiha's Konoha, do you understand the difference? Itachi"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and looked at Itachi Uchiha, who was half kneeling in front of him, with a very serious face.

"I know your father's talents very well, and I also know what the Uchiha clan has been plotting. But your father's behavior recently, to be honest, is a bit beyond my expectation. I want to know what happened."

"My intuition tells me that my father's change is related to Nara Shikamaru." Uchiha Itachi said slowly.

"Nara Shikamaru?"

........

In the dark sewer, Orochimaru's figure kept moving.

Orochimaru once conducted a series of research on forbidden techniques without telling the high-level officials of Konoha.After these studies were discovered and stopped by the Third Hokage, Orochimaru was forced to flee.

At the beginning, Konoha's top brass, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, thought that all of Orochimaru's research had been banned.However, what they didn't know was that Orochimaru had a premonition of his own fate after failing to compete for the Fourth Hokage, so he backed up some important research results first.In his haste to escape, he did not take all these backups with him.

At the end of the road, Orochimaru stopped, found the sealed box buried in the sewer, looked at the many items inside, and breathed a sigh of relief on his face.

The sword flashed, and danger came from the side without warning. Orochimaru hurriedly avoided it.When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he finally reacted.

"Nara Shikamaru, come out."

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Nara Shikamaru approached step by step.Next to him was Kisame Kisame, who was covered in bandages.

A Fei took out something from the box and threw it to Nara Shikamaru under Orochimaru's nervous eyes.

This is a test tube with some skin and flesh tissue inside.

Shikamaru showed a playful smile on his face and said: "Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, ignored the danger and sneaked into Konoha just for a test tube?"

"Your concealment skills are really amazing."

"Of course there are only a few people who can do what Fei does." Shikamaru stepped forward step by step, "Seeing that you care so much about this test tube, I guess the previous owner of the thing inside must have been extraordinary. Let me guess who the Senju Hashira is. Room?”

The moment Shikamaru said the answer, Orochimaru was obviously shaken.He looked at Shikamaru with confusion on his face.

"How did you guess"

"You, like the Third Hokage, are proficient in almost all ninjutsu in this world. However, this is not the end. There is still an insurmountable chasm in front of you."

"Blood Inheritance Boundary"

Orochimaru said it bluntly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"You want to change the limitations brought about by your own blood. And the only thing in Konoha Village that makes you care about, besides Uchiha's Sharingan, is the first Hokage's Wood Release. Obviously it won't It’s the Sharingan.”

"You really understand me"

Orochimaru swallowed the snake letter, his pupils slightly opened, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Shikamaru smiled and threw the test tube to Orochimaru again.

"I'm not interested in these. Remember to give me the sealing device I want on time. One more thing I want to tell you is that your traces have been discovered by Jiraiya. He is looking for you."

After Shikamaru finished speaking, he took the dried persimmon Kisame and left here.

In some dark and rancid sewers, Orochimaru was silent for a long time, with a trace of sadness actually showing in his cold eyes.

"Jiraiya, this idiot, still refuses to give up?"
