Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 14 Each Fate Flows Into Its Own

"I'll distract him, and you can take this opportunity to search carefully."

Danzo Shimura lifted his cane and entered Orochimaru's courtyard.

Aburame Ryoma nodded, and the next second, he disappeared.

Upon entering the hall, Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly.

Orochimaru seemed to have known he was coming and was sitting on a high seat waiting for him.

However, he looked very listless at the time.

Danzo Shimura raised an eyebrow; it was actually true.

"Orochimaru, what happened to your injuries?"

He didn't bother with formalities and asked directly.

"It's nothing."

Orochimaru naturally wouldn't tell him the truth.

With Danzo Shimura and his Root organization combined, it was possible for him to kill Shisui Uchiha.

He definitely wouldn't want to give away his Mangekyou Sharingan to someone else.

Even though he can't have it now, in his heart it's already his.

Danzo Shimura was immediately displeased.

He was indeed quite curious about the reason for Orochimaru's injury.

He just didn't say it, and there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, he didn't want to completely break off relations for the time being.

But at that moment, Orochimaru suddenly spoke up, saying, "You don't need to have Ryuma investigate anymore. I did take the armor."

"What did you say?"

Danzo Shimura's face darkened.

"Why be so petty when it comes to a test subject?"

Orochimaru sneered and said, "I haven't even questioned you about deceiving me yet."

"Hand over A."

Danzo Shimura said curtly, "Unless you want to break with me."

"I hate being threatened the most."

Orochimaru coughed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and revealed a venomous smile. "Danzo, are you sure you want to break ties?"

Danzo Shimura's expression froze.

Orochimaru doesn't care about Konoha and can run away at any time.

But he can't.

Once his Wood Release experiment is exposed, it will be difficult for him to get close to becoming Hokage.

He cannot afford this loss.

Danzo Shimura's expression shifted between light and shadow, appearing quite hesitant.

Ultimately, they decided to compromise.

Yamato has been with the Root for ten years since he was born.

His entire body was thoroughly examined.

Sending it out wasn't particularly painful.

It's just a pity about a ninja who knows Wood Release.

"The fourth generation died, and the third generation took over, but he won't stay in power for long."

Orochimaru's tone suddenly softened as he said, "The Fifth Hokage will be on the agenda soon."

"What are you trying to say?"

Danzo Shimura was very unhappy; Naruto was a taboo topic for him.

Who do you think will become the Fifth Hokage?

"You want to become Hokage?"

Danzo Shimura's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "You can't do that. You've lost Hiruzen Sarutobi's trust."

When it came to choosing the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze were the most popular choices.

The former is one of the Three Ninjas, and over the years he has made great contributions and has many supporters.

The latter turned the tide of the Third Shinobi World War, earning the nickname "Yellow Flash" and enjoying considerable prestige.

To be fair, the two are evenly matched.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that Orochimaru was not suitable to be Hokage and almost decided that Minato Namikaze would be the one to succeed him.

"It's really impossible for me."

Orochimaru nodded in agreement, saying, "But my supporters are still here, and I can help you become Hokage."

His calm and casual words immediately made Danzo Shimura's eyes widen.

Did I see a ghost in broad daylight?

This guy is being generous by not killing me, and he's actually supporting me?

"What are the conditions?"

Danzo Shimura suppressed his trembling emotions and asked in a deep voice.

"I need Hashirama Senju's body. You must cover it up for me; no one can find out."

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, you have to give me A too."

"Are you crazy?"

Danzo Shimura's expression changed drastically. He said, "The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, is so important. It doesn't matter if we take some of his cells, but if you steal his body now, we'll both be left with no way out once we're discovered."

"Of course I know."

Orochimaru waved his hand impatiently and said, "Are you in or not?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura was speechless.

He gritted his teeth.

It's just a corpse; you can just make a fake one and throw it into a coffin.

Anyway, no one dares to offend Hashirama Senju on ordinary days.

I promise you.

Danzo Shimura's face was grim, and his entire body exuded a dangerous aura. "But if you betray me, Orochimaru, you will know the consequences."

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly and said, "Then take your little bug and leave."

The little bug is referring to Aburame Ryoma.

Although his courtyard was unguarded, snakes lurked everywhere.

Anyone who comes in will be spotted.

"Hmph, I hope you don't do something you'll regret."

Danzo Shimura uttered one last harsh word and turned to leave.

Orochimaru licked his lips, his heart burning with excitement; he was already looking forward to his next meeting with Natsume.

He had so many answers he wanted to know.

Southwest corner of Konoha.

A new territory for the Uchiha clan.

Although the area is larger, the distance is greater.

The proud Uchiha clan naturally could not tolerate this.

Unfortunately, they encountered a rather indecisive clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

All the discontent was suppressed.

The waterfall behind the territory.

Uchiha Shisui stared blankly at the flowing water.

He still couldn't get over the battle with Orochimaru that morning.

In his mind, the Konoha high-ranking officials, such as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, held extremely high positions.

Because they symbolize the will of fire.

Why did Orochimaru attack him?

Was it under orders from Hiruzen Sarutobi?

"No, that's impossible."

Uchiha Shisui didn't want to think about it anymore, which meant that the Will of Fire, which he had always believed in, was in trouble.

He also discovered a problem.

Orochimaru seems to be after his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Does this mean that the Konoha leadership already knows about the existence of these eyes?

Will the attitude towards the Uchiha clan change again?

Uchiha Shisui was troubled by a jumble of thoughts.

"Uchiha Shisui"

Suddenly, an ANBU ninja appeared and said, "The Hokage wants to see you."

Uchiha Shisui's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm and said, "I'll go now."

He arrived at the Hokage's office with a heavy heart.

"Still water".

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the documents in his hand and said warmly and kindly, "Please sit down, make yourself at home."

Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

I shouldn't have doubted the Hokage.

"Shisui, I called you here because I have a task for you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "Minato just died, and Kumogakure launched an attack. Now we have no choice but to fight back."

Uchiha Shisui immediately replied, "Hokage-sama, I will definitely complete the mission."

"I've always trusted you. You have Uchiha Kagami's blood flowing through your veins, and you've inherited his will."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed his expression again and said nostalgically, "Kagami and I are like brothers. Every time I see you, I think of Kagami."

Kagami Uchiha was a student chosen by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Possesses a very qualified Will of Fire.

Shisui was his descendant.

"Konoha originally wanted to hold the Jonin Selection, but there have been many things going on lately, and there hasn't been an opportunity."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, walked up to Shisui Uchiha, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I know your strength is far beyond that of a Chunin, so I'll temporarily grant you Jonin-level authority."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

"I am grateful," said Uchiha Shisui.

Jonin are already core members of Konoha Village.

This also means that he was valued by the Hokage.

"Work hard, and when you come back, I'll let you join the Dark Division."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled.

This is what a good Uchiha should be like.

Ordinary ninjas naturally do not require his personal reception.

But Uchiha Shisui was different.

His surname is Uchiha.

Bringing him into the Anbu would not only provide us with a genius, but also a bridge to learn about the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan these days is really a handful.
