Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 122: Legendary Meteorologist Orochimaru

Uchiha Douguang glanced at Miura Kazuo with satisfaction, but there was still some doubt in his mouth: "Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"The Grand Minister is wrong. The most important thing right now is the safety of His Highness the Daimyo. Since there are hidden dangers in the Fire City, it will be dangerous for His Highness to stay here for a moment longer. I hope the Grand Minister will make a decision as soon as possible." Miura Kazuo said.

Miura Kazuo has a very clear self-awareness. He understands that the reason why Uchiha Tokou was willing to help him before was more to fight against Abe Taiichi's faction. Now that Abe Taiichi is dead, if he doesn't do something to show his value, he will probably be the next one.

So, at this moment, Miura Kazuo knelt down without hesitation.

"Please, Grand Minister, make a decision as soon as possible." Behind Miura Kazuo, his faction members also shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Uchiha Douguang could only sigh and said, "In that case, let's put the relocation of the capital on the agenda as soon as possible. For the sake of your highness's safety, I will take you to the Hidden Leaf Village in a few days. Kikuchi Tomoken."

"I'm here." Kikuchi Tomoken hurried forward and replied.

"I remember you used to be the Minister of Construction. In the next few days, you should quickly produce a blueprint for His Highness's new palace. In a few days, you should also follow us to Konoha." Uchiha Douguang ordered.

"Yes, sir." said Kikuchi Tomoken.

……

Under the intimidation of the heads of Abe Taiichi's entire family, the matter of moving the capital to Konohagakure Village was quickly decided. In the following few days, all the ministers in the court were busy with this matter in a panic.

Uchiha Douguang did not go to the daimyo's bedroom until the next day to inform him of this matter.

When Uchiha Tokugawa arrived, Minamoto Gokyo was having a meal. After hearing the eunuch's report about Uchiha Tokugawa's visit, the little hand holding the chopsticks trembled.

It can be seen that Uchiha Douguang that day left a deep shadow on him. On the first day returning to the bedroom, Gen Gokyo had a nightmare.

"Please invite the teacher in quickly." Although there was still some remaining fear in his heart, Yuan Yuxie still said to the eunuch serving beside him.

After Uchiha Douguang entered the bedroom, he first bowed to the young daimyo, and then spoke: "Yesterday, the situation was urgent. After executing the traitor Abe Taiichi and his followers, I did not have time to bathe. For this, I offended Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

"Teacher, what are you talking about? You are only concerned about my safety." Yuan Yuxie forced a smile and said, "I wonder what brings you here today?"

"I believe the palace servants have already informed Your Highness of yesterday's court meeting," Uchiha Douguang said, "The Fire City is no longer safe for Your Highness. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to return to Konohagakure with me in a few days."

Gengokyo glanced at Uchiha Douguang, lowered his head, and said, "Everything will be arranged by the teacher."

……

Two days later, Uchiha Tokou set off to return to Konoha with a group of ninjas, while Kakashi temporarily stayed in the Fire City to deal with the follow-up matters of the capital relocation.

Because the daimyo's procession was so huge, the group walked very slowly and it took them three full days to reach Konoha Village.

When the group arrived, under the arrangement of Uchiha Tokou, all the ninjas in the village and the senior civilian ninjas who stayed in Konoha were waiting at the gate of the village to welcome the arrival of the daimyo. The leader was Uchiha Fugaku, who was left in Konoha by Uchiha Tokou to be in charge of village affairs.

"Your Highness, this is the Hidden Leaf Village, and all of you present here are powerful ninjas of the village. With them here, Your Highness's safety can be guaranteed." Uchiha Douguang took Minamoto Gokyo's hand and walked down the carriage, introducing at the same time.

After saying that, Uchiha Douguang looked at the ninjas at the village entrance and shouted, "Everyone, salute His Majesty the Daimyo!"

"Loyalty! Sincerity!" Everyone raised their hands and saluted in unison. This scene scared Yuan Yuxie.

"Hello." Yuan Yuxie raised his hand reluctantly and said.

Uchiha Tokou nodded with satisfaction. After the welcome ceremony, Uchiha Tokou left Yamato and brought the daimyo and his entourage to the village in the north of the Uchiha clan's territory. It was a large open space that had been cleared in advance and handed the design of the daimyo's bedroom prepared in advance by Kikuchi Tomoken to Yamato.

Yamato took the blueprint and examined it carefully before nodding. "Wood Release: Lianzhu Family Technique!" Yamato formed a series of hand seals and slammed his hand to the ground. As the Minamoto Gokyo and the accompanying officials watched in disbelief, countless giant trees burst forth from the earth and converged, forming magnificent palaces.

With Yamato's current chakra capacity, it is naturally impossible to build the palace required by the daimyo in one go. Therefore, in the early stage, only the daimyo's bedroom was built. As for the palace used for court meetings and handling government affairs, it will take some time to complete the construction.

After settling the daimyo, Uchiha Douguang said goodbye and returned to the Hokage Building.

Although all the affairs of the village were handed over to Uchiha Fugaku during this period, he could only handle some daily affairs. Some matters, such as the rotation of ninja troops on the border and the secret intelligence passed back by spies lurking in other villages, could only be handled by Uchiha Tokou, the Hokage himself. During this period in the Fire City, these documents were also piled up.

When Uchiha Douguang finished dealing with these, it was already late at night.

After returning home, Uchiha Tokou used the summoning technique to summon the messaging snake from the Ryuchi Cave and told Orochimaru that they would meet at the Ryuchi Cave later.

Not long after, the space-time fluctuations of the reverse summoning technique were heard, and Uchiha Douguang also arrived at the Ryuchi Cave.

"Lord Tokou." After Uchiha Tokou arrived at Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru, who had been waiting there, saluted respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work this time." Uchiha Douguang nodded to the other party.

Although he had already made plans to kill the former daimyo, Uchiha Tokou's original plan was to operate for a while and then recruit some thugs from other ninja villages or the Akatsuki organization to do the job. However, because the remnants of the Utatane and Mito clans were seeking death, in order not to affect his own plan, he took action in advance and used Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru did a great job in this matter, directly killing the former daimyo's eldest son while leaving the former daimyo with a breath, but Orochimaru's card was completely useless on the surface. After all, what he did this time was to assassinate the daimyo. As the victim, the Fire Nation naturally could not remain indifferent. The bounty for Orochimaru in the underground gold exchange was directly doubled on the original basis, and the daimyo of other countries also invested money to increase the bounty after learning about this. Orochimaru's head is now at the top of the bounty list of the underground gold exchange. The current market price of Orochimaru is as high as thirty Asuma.

This is not the end. After doing this, Orochimaru realized that he could no longer stay in the Akatsuki organization, so he took the initiative to cut off the chakra connection of the Akatsuki organization's communication ring. Therefore, now as long as Orochimaru dares to show up in the ninja world, in addition to facing the bounty hunters who come one after another, he also has to face the pursuit of the entire Akatsuki organization.

"It is my honor to serve Lord Tokou," said Orochimaru.

"Tell me, what reward do you want this time?" Uchiha Douguang glanced at Orochimaru and said with a smile, "Don't refuse. For those who are loyal to me, as long as they have made contributions, I will not be stingy."

"Is that so?" Orochimaru raised his head upon hearing this and looked at Uchiha Douguang. "Then, could you please answer a question for me, Lord Douguang? What exactly did Lord Douguang do to me? Why does my brain involuntarily regard completing Lord Douguang's mission as my first priority?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Douguang narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that you have already discovered it. When did it happen?"

"Not long ago," Orochimaru said calmly, "although my loyalty to you seemed logical no matter how I thought about it, it was completely inconsistent with the logic of the facts."

"I see." Uchiha Douguang chuckled, "So, you're telling me now that you want to bypass the restrictions of that technique and attack me?"

"If it was before, maybe, but now, I have no such plan." Orochimaru said after bowing his head respectfully.

"Can you tell me why?" Uchiha Tokugawa said. Although Orochimaru had already self-destructed, in a place like Ryuchi Cave where natural energy was abundant, he could easily suppress Orochimaru who was restricted by Kotoamatsukami. Therefore, Uchiha Tokugawa also had the patience to chat with Orochimaru.

"Because of this mission to assassinate the Daimyo," Orochimaru said with a smile, "the entire ninja world has been peaceful for too long, and your appearance, Lord Douguang, is like a gust of wind that appears out of thin air. I want to witness with my own eyes how far this gust of wind can blow, and where this ninja world will go under your influence."

"Haha, interesting. Just watch carefully then." Uchiha Douguang chuckled and said, no longer dwelling on the matter. "How are you doing with the task I asked you to do last time?"

Orochimaru nodded, took out a scroll and handed it to Uchiha Tokou respectfully.

"The technique you asked me to test last time is indeed feasible in theory, but during the fusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil power and the Senjutsu Chakra, I could clearly feel that something was missing."

"To this end, I have made some attempts, including adding activated Hashirama cells."

"Really?" Uchiha Douguang raised an eyebrow and asked, "What was the result?"
