Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 555 Orochimaru's determination!

#
the other side,
The sky was blue, the weather was sunny and the whole of Konoha was peaceful.

And in Konoha Village, in the Uchiha clan's territory,
now,

However, something happened that made all the tribesmen excited!
Three years ago, the body of Uchiha Ci, who was brought back from the Land of Water by the clan's specially hired guardian ninja Kakuzu, was refused to be buried by the chief elder Uchiha Setsuna, who instead gave it to a hospital previously acquired by the Uchiha clan for cultivation and restoration.

During this period, a series of well-known medical ninjas in the ninja world, such as Shennong and Tsunade, were invited. They spent more than 100 million yuan every year to build a laboratory specifically for preserving corpses, using various sophisticated instruments to detect various vital signs of this dead body.

Surprisingly, after peeling off the charred tissue on the outer layer of Uchiha Ci's body, the laboratory was able to repair Uchiha Ci's entire body using the remaining piece of flesh and blood tissue that was less than the size of a palm.

It can be called a miracle in the ninja world!

However, even if the repair is successful, it is just a corpse.
The outside world has long been discussing the fact that the Uchiha clan invests more than half of the clan's income every year into something that has no clear meaning, such as maintaining the vital signs of a corpse.

But for the people of the Uchiha clan, no one opposed it, and there were even several waves of fundraising paid out of their own pockets. However, this continued ridicule from the outside world, which even showed a trend of escalating, also made the Uchiha clan unbearable.

During this period, a certain Uchiha clan leader who refused to reveal his name went to the root of Konoha several times with a sword in hand, trying to eradicate the source of the rumors, but failed because the mastermind behind the rumors ran too fast.

however,
Today, everything finally took a turn for the better!

At 8:23 in the morning, during the ongoing meeting of the Five Kages in the Land of Iron, the laboratory detected a brief heartbeat in Uchiha Ci's body. At the same time, the nutrient solution in the cultivation chamber was abnormally consumed.
In just a moment, all sixteen bottles of life-sustaining nutrients stored in the hospital laboratory were empty!
Shennong, the leader of the Sky Ninja Village who served as the temporary dean, immediately informed the Uchiha clan of the news and sent a huge purchase order along with the letter, saying that the laboratory nutrient solution was out of stock and asked them to purchase it quickly!
As soon as this news spread, the entire Uchiha clan fell into a frenzy!
Under the command of the clan council guidance class that was quickly set up, thousands of Uchiha clan members rushed into the Konoha Hospital. They did not rob, but purchased all the existing nutrient solution in Konoha. The key point is, it was purchasing, and the Uchiha clan paid for it!

The collective movement of thousands of Red Eyes was so terrifying that the village's Anbu and Jonin squad received an emergency mission and took to the streets to maintain order.

On the other side, the Konoha Root immediately moved its headquarters, and an old man named Shimura, who refused to reveal his name, urgently summoned all his members and ordered them to escort him to the Sarutobi residence.

The Hokage is not here, no, this seems to be an action taken to save the Hokage, and it instantly occupies the moral high ground within Konoha. Any member who tries to stop this will be invited to have tea by the Anbu and the Uchiha clan.

Soon, Konoha Hospital was emptied, not even a bottle of glucose syrup was left.

Under the command of the Uchiha Clan Guidance Team, thousands of Uchiha once again rushed to the factory that produced the source of nutrient solution in the village and blocked the Nara family's medicine garden and deer farm. Another part of them left the village urgently and went to the cities around Konoha to coordinate supplies.

now,

Looking at the huge flow of people around, and seeing a group of Uchiha clan members, regardless of gender, age or status, carrying a can filled with nutrient solution and rushing towards the hospital in the clan territory with a fanatical look on their faces.

Orochimaru, who was wearing a hood and hiding in the roadside alley, was a little dumbfounded.

He took advantage of the fact that Minato and Kushina wanted to arrest him under the guise of the Five Kage Summit, lured the tiger away from the mountain, and sneaked back to Konoha alone, trying to steal the body of Uchiha Ci kept in the Uchiha clan.

But
What's going on now?
If you want to steal Uchiha Ci's body now, it is equivalent to directly declaring a war with Konoha. The difficulty has instantly soared to the sky!
And it is impossible for Orochimaru to be like what is described in the biography, that as long as he kills everyone during the theft and no one witnesses it, it will be a perfect theft.

At this moment, there are at least two Uchiha with Mangekyō Sharingan in Konoha Village, as well as the strongest Hokage (question mark) Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo who has the strength of the peak Hokage level and is secretly cooperating with him, the heads of various clans, a full range of Anbu and Jonin teams, and so on.
If Orochimaru wanted to forcibly take away Uchiha Ci's body at this time, with his current strength, he could only succeed by launching the Impure World Reincarnation offensive in advance and exposing the information of the Byakugan and the Rinnegan.

However, leaking a lot of information at this time is undoubtedly a loss-making thing. But if he doesn't do it, he will waste a great opportunity. In the future, once Minato Namikaze knows that Uchiha Ci can also play the same role as the tailed beast, he will let Minato Namikaze fly around with two Jinchūriki and Uchiha Ci's body.
That would make it even more difficult to achieve the goal.
Orochimaru was instantly in a dilemma.

However, right now.

Bo——!
It was as if a clone had died in a very distant place, and a large amount of memories were transmitted back to Orochimaru's mind along with the chakra. Orochimaru was stunned on the spot, and his eyes instantly revealed a very complicated emotion as he looked towards the laboratory.

"Is this child going to be resurrected?"

He stood in the shadows of the street alley, looking at the Uchiha clan members passing by, and suddenly fell silent.

this moment,
Orochimaru seemed to be frantically calculating some important trade-offs in his mind.
Finally, as if to verify the authenticity of the intelligence,
Orochimaru suddenly raised his head!
In my ears, the latest information passed on by the Uchiha clan members echoed.
"The young patriarch's heart is beating steadily!"

"Come on, tribesmen, the latest news!"

"Young Patriarch has shown signs of breathing! He is about to wake up! Dean Shennong said that according to the progress, we are still short of 800 million nutritional materials!"

"Only 800 million, go for it!"

And as far as the eye can see,

In just a few seconds, the entire sky changed from a sunny and cloudless sky to a gloomy scene with countless dark clouds!
"Tsk, things are going to change."

Squinting his eyes and watching this scene, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with heaviness.
"And, leave here immediately, as far as you can, as far as you can run?"

Didn't think for too long.

Orochimaru let out a heavy breath, his eyes turned fierce, as if he had made a huge decision to completely deny the original plan!

So he did three things.

The first thing he did was to vomit out his extremely sharp Kusanagi sword, which could be extended and shortened, and then casually threw this precious artifact into the inconspicuous alley of the Uchiha clan.

The second thing is to make seals with both hands in the order of Zi - Chou - Shen - Yin - Chen - Hai!

"Reincarnation in dirty soil, solution!"

White light suddenly burst out from the alley and shot straight into the sky!
After doing these two things, Orochimaru took a deep breath.

Start doing the third thing.

He stretched out his long legs, without looking back, and headed straight in the opposite direction of the Uchiha clan's territory, accelerating madly!
At the fastest speed in his life, he even used the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei.

He did not care about crashing into collapsed houses along the way, nor did he care about exposing his identity at this moment. He turned into a huge Yamata-shaped giant snake and shot out like a white arrow, rushing towards the outside of Konoha Village like mad!

“——Boom!”

And at this moment,
it's dark.
