"...Everyone just believes more in your strength and prestige."
The subtext of this statement is that the Uchiha is powerless and cannot risk the vigilance of most of the ninja village and insist on participating, which will only make people suspect that he has bad intentions.
The top brass all knew that Uchiha could control the tailed beasts, so didn't Fugaku know that? They also understood that the existence of the Sharingan at this time was awkward.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very smart. It was a very stupid act for him to directly ask the Hokage to modify his own ideas during Minato's administration.
So he chose to go directly to the Uchiha clan and told Fugaku about the situation.
Faced with the Council of Elders and the other ninja clan representatives lurking behind them, they could only stay in their own clan territory obediently.
Besides... Minato's attitude did not firmly support him to participate in the defense. Maybe he also had concerns but just let the retired Sandaime say it.
Mizuto in the tea room expressed his understanding and tried to comfort him.
The Yondaime also briefly mentioned the matter about the guard team, and Fugaku nodded.
If this matter is not resolved, the Uchiha will never be able to truly integrate into the village. No one wants to see the largest ninja clan intervene in Konoha's high-level affairs without paying any price.
"We will start dealing with this matter after you finish your work. We are also worried that something might happen internally at this point in time."
Fugaku's attitude was sincere, and now Uchiha really had a chance to get rid of this useless position.
As the patriarch, he will naturally show his skills to resolve internal differences when the time is right.
Both sides got what they wanted and the banquet officially ended. Minato walked home alone, feeling a little uneasy when looking at the moon in the sky.
I recalled the letter I received today.
I hope I'm just overthinking it. Konoha has so many people protecting Kushina, and with its own Flying Thunder God, nothing should be wrong.
Obito stood on the Hokage Rock, looking at the lights in Konoha Village, without any nostalgia in his eyes.
Time is running out, and there are only two months left before the time to destroy Konoha.
Black Zetsu now almost permanently resides in the Root and keeps a close eye on all aspects of intelligence about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, making sure nothing goes wrong.
Finally, at the end of September, Noah stopped practicing sword.
He found Yahiko and had a long talk with him, then walked around in front of Kakuzu and Sasori before disappearing.
The village prospector Xiaobai also disappeared on a business trip.
The situation of the entire ninja world gathered in Konoha Village because of the incident of the Nine-Tails.
Chapter 73 Orochimaru's Doubts
Time enters February.
The atmosphere in the entire Konoha has been very strange recently. The Fourth Hokage, who occasionally appeared in the village, has no longer been seen.
The Anbu, who usually operate in the dark, are now often seen running on rooftops during the day.
Most of the tasks were assigned to the new generation or ordinary Chunins.
Uchiha strictly followed his patrol route and began another round of inspection.
However, the number of patrol officers was decreasing day by day, and in the end, it was difficult to see the security guards, who were once the most hated, on the streets.
The last big shot who met the Uchiha was the most important Hokage’s wife, Kushina.
She was pregnant and whispered some private words to Mikoto, and then she was dragged away by Utane Koharu.
The old senior was very helpless with this overly lively Jinchūriki who had been causing trouble in the village since he was a child.
Two of the four Hokage married Jinchūriki, which made it impossible for her to act like an elder.
This child...I hope the next generation won’t be like this.
Because of this incident, Uchiha entered a state of silence ahead of time.
The major ninja clans were also telling their own clansmen not to run around or cause trouble, but the reasons were all obscure.
Having been here for decades, who doesn't have their own information channels? Everyone knows that this is really not the time to mess around.
In addition to the sunny and cheerful big boy character like Little Sun, the Fourth Generation also has the battlefield reputation of Golden Flash.
The air pressure near the Hokage Building is now negative. It seems that even the Konoha Hokage Danzo is behaving himself.
Ordinary people did not feel anything unusual, as if they were living in two different worlds from such major events.
Orochimaru was sitting in his courtyard studying the ninjutsu that had been knocked out from the roots.
The second-generation notebook that Sarutobi Hiruzen sent was placed in the laboratory and he was not in a hurry to study it.
Recently, because of following Noah, I have unknowingly gained a lot of forbidden knowledge, top-level experimental materials, and a huge amount of funds.
Even the Book of Sealing got the authentic version from the Hokage Building and the dark improved version from the Root.
This is how happy troubles come about. It seems that I have been on the wrong path as a ninja before.
He can get some money by accumulating merits by completing tasks, and this method is more to his liking.
Tsk tsk, Akatsuki organization... I am the honorary leader.
In front of him, Kabuto was practicing advanced chakra control. He had already completed climbing trees and treading water, and now he was practicing more on micro-manipulation.
Although the young boy could not extract much chakra, his utilization rate had always been maintained at a very high level.
There is also an introduction to basic medical ninjutsu on hand, and the role it plays in logistics is very accurate.
Kabuto does have a good ninja talent, which Orochimaru is not too surprised about. As for mental maturity and stability, they are also characteristics that a genius should have.
It was only the other party's excellent talent in learning knowledge, as well as his exploration and thinking transformation of unknown things that made Orochimaru quite impressed.
If you train him well, the minimum achievement he can achieve in the future is to become your main assistant. If you achieve a higher level, it is even possible that we can explore the frontiers of biotechnology together.
Moreover, his moral values are very ninja-like. He does not have the foolish kindness of ordinary children, nor does he yearn for hypocritical ideals.
He's a good candidate. No wonder Noah recommended such a young man to me. They are really a good match.
As for Hongdou, she has already signed a psychic contract with Longchidong.
However, Orochimaru warned her not to summon large summoning beasts in the future, but some simple snakes could still be summoned.
Hongdou was so excited about this honor that she almost shed tears of excitement.
She has been under a lot of pressure recently. The expectations of her family and the fear of not wanting to disappoint her teacher are really uncomfortable.
Among the three-person team, Shisui is a master with a little fame. His innate abilities and bloodline limits do make him superior to others.
But the smallest pocket made her feel even more frustrated.
He was a kid who didn't even know what ninjutsu was before, but now he has made great progress in this area.
Even her learning ability and fine control of chakra made her feel that geniuses were unreasonable.
As a result, Teacher Orochimaru actually gave herself the most precious summoning scroll and the right of inheritance. This was a great victory for Mitarashi Anko.
Hongdou said that she is just a brainless fan and won't listen to anyone now.
As for the reason~~ Orochimaru himself is now being targeted by Ryuchi Cave, so he needs a new successor to serve as the coordinate.
Or it would be a good idea to leave an external bait.
In the future, it would be nice to use red beans to summon some intelligent snakes and do some research at the same time.
This is something that Hongdou must not know, otherwise the little girl will be heartbroken.
After all, they have to go to the holy land sooner or later. Who can blame these arrogant beasts for being targeted by Noah?
The body of the White Snake Immortal is still worthy of study.
Immortal arts...things that he had not paid much attention to also returned to his sight.
It's all because of that bastard Jiraiya's poor magical skills, which led to him single-handedly lowering the value of natural energy.
When reading the notes of the Nidaime, Orochimaru was puzzled as to why Lord Tobirama was so in favor of Senjutsu Chakra.
Later I learned that the first generation relied on the blessing of immortal arts to reach a higher level, and he could use the God of Ninja World as a trump card...
That idiot is really... hopeless. He missed out on such interesting energy.
Speaking of Jiraiya... Orochimaru frowned. Is that idiot really not coming back at this time?
From the communication between Noa and him, one can sense that there might be some disaster in Konoha when the Jinchūriki gives birth.
Now in the ninja world, apart from the four major countries and the Akatsuki organization, I can't think of any other forces that can threaten this place.
There is the newly powerful Fourth Hokage, the yet-to-be-aged Third Hokage, as well as himself and countless great ninja clans.
The village's resources can be used at any time, so who else...
It is impossible to say that he has no feelings for Konoha. Orochimaru is a serious Konoha ninja at this moment, and he will definitely take action to protect Konoha when the time comes.
But his fighting power might not be enough to make that monster Noah care about the twists and turns. Self-knowledge and rationality are the most precious things of Orochimaru.
After failing to find any clues, he decided to make some preparations in advance, such as some props and materials for forbidden techniques.
This intuition helped him survive the 2nd and 3rd Ninja World Wars.
In fact, many ninjas will become a little restless before a disaster strikes. This is their sense of death.
At the same time, he also knew that Uchiha was retreating across the board. Shisui was now both his apprentice and his subordinate.
Orochimaru hopes to have a reliable helper at this time.
"Shisui, stay here with me and study for a few days. Don't go back. Tell the leader of the Fugaku clan."
"Yes."
Chapter 74 No Enemies
After returning home, Shisui told Fugaku about this matter.
Fugaku frowned and thought for a long time.
Orochimaru is still the backbone of the Hokage system. Although Minato does not use him, his special status is unshakable.
Then Shisui himself is the top genius of Uchiha and also a strong man with combat power. Should we tell him some things?
This matter is related to the foundation of Uchiha and the source of its strength.
Shisui is the descendant of Kagami, the apprentice of Orochimaru, and has been watching the Will of Fire recently. He is also very calm and loves the village.
Moreover, in the future, the Uchiha clan will have more harmonious interactions with Konoha, so some traditions should be relaxed a little.
With his potential, he would probably be able to touch that level of obstacle avoidance sooner or later.
So Uchiha Fugaku brought Shisui to the secret room and told him very seriously about how the Sharingan could control the tailed beasts.
After knowing this, Shisui was not horrified nor frantic.
"Master clan leader, although I have never seen a tailed beast, I know from various sources that the Nine-Tailed Fox is a very terrifying existence. Our ability to control the opponent with our Sharingan also depends on our mental strength... the gap."
What I mean is that what you said, Patriarch, is a bit nonsense.
If the Sharingan was really that powerful, they wouldn't be hiding here guarding the team. With the character of their clan members, they would have directly attacked the Hokage Building long ago.
……
This sentence made Fugaku feel a little embarrassed. Don’t say it, please don’t say it.
This doubt does make some sense. Those radical members of the clan who only know how to make noises all day long actually dare to go to the Hokage Building to start a show.
They also don't think about the fact that when Uchiha Madara conquered the four major nations, he failed to overthrow Konoha.
If none of the subsequent descendants is stronger than the others, how can they be qualified to fight against the descendants of the victors?
But...the Uchiha's Sharingan was really awesome before.
The current decline is the result of Konoha's long-term suppression and the unpopularity of the clan members who were flattered.
But even if there was no ancestor as explosive as Madara, the combat power of just the ordinary Sharingan had reached the level of the number one ninja clan in Konoha, which shows how powerful this bloodline is.
So Fugaku very seriously explained to Shisui the power of his own Sharingan.
He felt that this little guy seemed to be influenced by Orochimaru and started discussing things like the nature of the ninja world, and what he said was not something a ninja would say.
In short, three magatama is our upper limit, not the upper limit of the Sharingan.
