Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 107: Bad Face
"Of course." Black Zetsu nodded. "Uchiha Madara is an outstanding figure in the entire history of the Uchiha clan, and he is also the one who is closest to creating the peace that I hope for."

"However, he made a fatal mistake," Black Zetsu said, "He believed the words of Hashirama Senju, who inherited Ashura's will, gave up his own persistence, and founded your current village."

"By the time he realized his mistake, it was already too late. I'm sure you know what happened next," said Black Zetsu.

"After the deaths of Madara-sama and the Shodaime-sama, the ninja world fell into war again..." Uchiha Douguang sighed with lowered eyebrows, "So, you chose me again, right?"

"Indeed, your talent is even higher than Uchiha Madara's." Black Zetsu said in a tone full of temptation, "Uchiha Madara only has strength, but you are different. Not only do you have strength, but your mind and means are also the reasons why I chose you."

"Go, let your eyes evolve to the level of the Eternal Eye, then come back here, this stone tablet will give you the answer." said Black Zetsu.

Uchiha Douguang stopped to think for a while, then raised his head, looked at Black Zetsu, and said, "I understand."

After saying that, Uchiha Douguang turned and left. After reaching the door, he turned back and said to Black Zetsu: "By the way, even if you really are the will of our ancestors, don't enter other people's homes casually in the future. You still have to have a sense of boundaries."

After saying that, Uchiha Douguang left the basement without caring about the other party's reaction.

After returning home, Uchiha Douguang wrote down in his study the method he had just recorded of using senjutsu to upgrade the Mangekyō Sharingan.

After thinking about it, he summoned the little snake from the Ryuchi Cave and asked him to pass a message to Orochimaru.

Soon, the space-time fluctuations of the reverse summoning technique came from Uchiha Douguang's side, and Uchiha Douguang went to Longchi Cave.

When Uchiha Tokou arrived, Orochimaru was already waiting there.

"Lord Toukou, is there something that makes you summon me so late?" Orochimaru asked respectfully.

"Help me verify the feasibility of this technique." Uchiha Douguang said, handing the copied scroll to Orochimaru.

"I understand." Orochimaru took the scroll and opened it to take a look. "Is this a training method that combines natural energy with the power of the Sharingan?"

After Orochimaru finished reading the scroll, he looked up at Uchiha Douguang and said, "If you want to verify this, you need the right materials."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tokou looked at Orochimaru deeply. Seeing that the other party looked normal, he took out a sealing scroll, entered the Sage Mode, and activated the Mangekyō Sharingan at the same time.

Uchiha Douguang sealed a portion of his eye power and a portion of his senjutsu chakra in a scroll, handed it to Orochimaru, and then said, "This should be enough for you to study."

"Of course," Orochimaru nodded, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Douguang."

……

A few days later, Uchiha Douguang went to the Security Department to sit for a while, and then went to the Hokage Building.

After the voting of the senior ninjas was completed, Uchiha Tokou was now no different from the Hokage in the village, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also began to hand over some things to Uchiha Tokou.

However, on the way to the Hokage Building, Uchiha Douguang found that some villagers avoided looking at him when they saw him.

After arriving at the Hokage Building and entering the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Uchiha Tokou and greeted him first.

"Dou Guang, you're here."

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to dismiss the people around him and signaled Uchiha Tokou to step forward.

"Tokou, something may have gone wrong with your succession to the Fifth Hokage," said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Uchiha Douguang frowned when he heard this.

"Take a look at this." Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a letter with the daimyo's seal from the desk and handed it to Uchiha Touma.

"The daimyo had already agreed to your appointment as the Fifth Hokage, but several officials and nobles from the Land of Fire jointly wrote a letter to express their opposition to this matter," said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Officials and nobles?" Uchiha Douguang frowned. "I don't remember ever offending them."

After saying that, Uchiha Douguang looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with suspicion.

"Don't look at me like that, Douguang, this matter has nothing to do with me." Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the look in Uchiha Douguang's eyes and hurriedly explained, "I have even handed over the command of the Anbu and the Jonin Squad to you. I also want to retire."

Uchiha Douguang nodded. It was indeed unlikely that this matter was arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, otherwise he would not have readily asked all the private soldiers of the Sarutobi clan to come to the Hokage Building to register and hand over the command of the Anbu and the Jonin squad.

Just then, Kakashi also hurried to the Hokage's office.

"Dou Guang, let's go back to the security department first." After Kakashi came to Uchiha Dou Guang, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and then said.

"Just talk about it here if you have anything to say." Uchiha Douguang said.

"Several fortune tellers from the Fire City have come to the village in the past few days. Since their arrival, a lot of rumors unfavorable to you have spread in the village." Kakashi said. "Rumors? For example?" Uchiha Douguang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"For example, Douguang, your face is not good. After you become Hokage, you will bring disaster to the village." Kakashi glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said.

"Hey, Kakashi, this matter really has nothing to do with me." Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly, "My every move these days has been under the noses of your security team. How could I have the opportunity to do this?"

But Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew that this method of using rumors seemed too much like the work of his group.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, this matter probably has little to do with the Sandaime-sama." Uchiha Douguang laughed, "Using a bad face as an excuse to spread rumors is a bit ridiculous. Every ninja has to make a living with their heads hanging on their belts. Who would believe this?"

Kakashi:......

Kakashi really wanted to say, "Don't forget that there is a person who believes in these things imprisoned in the Security Department," but on second thought, what Uchiha Douguang said seemed to make sense. Few of the ninjas he knew believed in these illusory things. The only thing they trusted was the kunai in their hands.

"However, this kind of rumor sounds like something that would come from those nobles who have nothing better to do than to mess around. Kakashi, please take your men to the Fire Capital to investigate and find out the origins of these people who suddenly appeared to oppose me."

"Understood." Kakashi nodded and left.

"Sir Sandaime, I will go back to deal with these matters." After saying this, Uchiha Douguang turned around and left the Hokage Building.

After returning to the security team, Uchiha Douguang took a look at today's patrol schedule and called Uchiha Zaito.

After entering Uchiha Douguang's office, Uchiha Zaidou saluted respectfully and then asked, "Captain, what are your instructions?"

"Zaidou, I heard that some special people seem to have come to the village recently." Uchiha Douguang said calmly while making tea.

"Captain, are you referring to those fortune tellers? The security team has already sent people to deal with this matter." Uchiha Zaidou said.

"Okay." Uchiha Douguang nodded, "Remember to treat the guests from the village well. The people behind them are quite powerful."

"I understand." Uchiha Zaidou nodded and was about to leave.

"Hey, what's the rush?" Uchiha Douguang called out to Uchiha Zaidou, and handed him a cup of brewed tea. "At least drink the tea."

"Thank you, Captain!" Uchiha Zaidou nodded with a smile, took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, then grimaced because of the burn.

"Sigh..." Uchiha Douguang looked at the other party helplessly and sighed. It seemed that the education of the next generation of the family was indeed a long and arduous task.

……

On the commercial street of the village, there is a brand new storefront with a signboard for divination and fortune-telling. This store, which has only been open for two days, seems to be doing very good business, with a long queue in front of the store.

"Sister Yoshinaga, are you also here to see the fortune teller?" A middle-aged woman in the queue saw an acquaintance and greeted her hurriedly.

"Yes, I heard from my neighbors that this master here is very effective."

However, not long after the two exchanged greetings, a group of people in security uniforms walked towards them with cold faces. The leader of the group was Sakurai Hideaki, who had been promoted to team leader.

After seeing the security team, the villagers in the queue instantly quieted down.

"Go back quickly. We have received a report that this store is promoting superstition in the village and needs to be investigated." Sakurai Hideaki dispersed the villagers queuing in front of the store with a cold face, and then led the team in.

At this moment, the person who was having his fortune told in the store stood up hurriedly and fled outside after seeing the security team.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my business?" The fortune teller, dressed in professional attire, asked immediately when he saw that the business was gone.

"We are the guard team of Konohagakure Village. We heard that the master is good at fortune-telling, so we came here to ask him to read our faces," said Sakurai Hideaki.

"If you want to have your fortune told, please line up outside," the master reminded.

"We just lined up to get in," said Sakurai Hideaki.

"Alright." Seeing that Sakurai Hideaki and the others didn't look like they were easy to mess with, the master could only be patient and asked, "What do you want to see?"

"Master, please help us see if this gentleman can become Hokage?" Sakurai Hideaki took out a photo of Uchiha Tokou and placed it on the table in front of the master.

The master picked up the photo and saw that the person in the photo was the person that the people behind the incident had sent them to Konoha Village to target. So he said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, this person's face doesn't look good. I don't think there's any hope."

"Please take a closer look." Sakurai Hideaki said word by word with a serious face.
