The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

He was more inclined to believe that those ninjas had other missions, such as espionage.

Otherwise, how could Root have accurately intercepted Team 3? There must have been Root spies in Sunagakure involved; those three Root ninjas might have been spies themselves.

Even all the Root ninjas involved in that incident could be spies!

After such a long period of silence, Uchiha Kiyoshi also decided to end this kind of life.

He's going to cause trouble, big trouble!

Chapter 85 Deployment

After adjusting his physical condition, Uchiha Kiyoshi stepped out of the tent and headed straight for the personnel department.

Orochimaru is still managing the personnel department. Compared to before, Orochimaru now seems to express more sentiments about the fragility of life, and he appears more sinister.

Of course, these sentiments were only expressed to Uchiha Kiyoshi. Tsunade may not know, but others might. However, they could clearly sense that Orochimaru had changed completely, becoming more terrifying and sinister, and his attacks were becoming increasingly ruthless and merciless.

Uchiha Kiyoshi guessed that Orochimaru was probably stimulated by the deaths of Nawaki and the others. As a child, Orochimaru began to think about life because of the death of his parents. Knowing that Nawaki died seemed to have triggered something, and Orochimaru's pursuit of life became more and more obsessive.

Orochimaru must have already grasped the concept of immortality, right? If so, his own immortality technique would have a place to be used. Although it's still theoretical, it's definitely enough to attract Orochimaru.

After all, he and Orochimaru would eventually have to separate, but Kiyoshi Uchiha didn't want to waste such a scientist.

Even though they were master and disciple, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't intend to take advantage of Orochimaru for free. After all, Orochimaru's temperament was truly unpredictable, and an equal exchange was the best option.

Orochimaru seems to have all the forbidden books in the Book of Seals, right?

Then I can get these forbidden books from him, which means there's no point in staying in Konoha...

Let's proceed according to plan.

"teacher."

Uchiha Kiyoshi entered the tent and, as usual, greeted Orochimaru.

"Qing, here again?"

What kind of mission do you want this time?

Let me see if I have it.

Upon seeing Uchiha Kiyoshi walk in, Orochimaru looked up, glanced at him, and said with a smile.

This student was quite to his liking. After Nawaki's death, he had "tested" him several times. He was very satisfied with many of Uchiha Kiyoshi's insights about life, especially since the other party also felt that a lifespan of several decades was too short, and the concept of "immortality" coincided with his own idea of ​​immortality.

I'm satisfied, but they're a bit of a worry.

He used to be fine, the most reliable person in the team, but now everything has changed.

Uchiha Kiyoshi hunted down Root ninjas multiple times. How could his teacher not have noticed? After all, he had assigned the missions to him, and the time and place of the Root ninjas' incidents were basically consistent.

Orochimaru didn't let it go unchecked, but instead erased all the traces he could find, which was the limit of what he could do.

As for persuading Uchiha Kiyoshi to stop?

impossible!

Your Danzang sent people to attack my students. My silence doesn't mean I don't care!

Uchiha Kiyoshi has such thoughts of revenge, that's perfect, it's satisfying!

I heard they've already killed at least three Jonin? Heh, not bad, that old bastard Danzo must be furious.

Danzo was truly furious.

The Root was managed by the Third Generation for a year, and when he returned to take over, so much was missing that he suspected the Third Generation did it on purpose.

The Third Hokage: ? ? ? What? Intentional? I really don't know!

Overwhelmed with daily administrative duties, the Third Hokage hadn't noticed anything amiss with the deaths of those Root ninjas. After all, their missions were extremely dangerous, and Uchiha Kiyoshi hadn't given them a chance to relay messages. The Third Hokage had always assumed they had died in an accident during a mission...

As for a detailed investigation?

That's not one of my subordinates. Let Danzo investigate Root.

Don't think he didn't realize that Root has already changed. With Danzo around, it's uncertain whether they would even listen to him, the Hokage...

"Teacher, I'll take on a long-term mission this time, the longer the better, within the Land of Rain, whether it's investigation or infiltration and assassination."

Upon hearing the student's request, Orochimaru frowned and pondered deeply.

Is this kid up to something again? And the longer the better, he's obviously going to find the root of the problem.

Uchiha Kiyoshi: No, I didn't!

Orochimaru did not refuse. After thinking for a while, he decided to give him such a task.

"Here you go, complete this task within a month."

He tossed out a mission scroll, which landed steadily in Uchiha Kiyoshi's hands.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's eyes lit up. A month is great! That's a lot of time; enough to do a lot of things.

Grinning, giving Orochimaru a thumbs-up, Uchiha Kiyoshi turned and left the tent.

Looking at the overly detailed mission description in his hand, Uchiha Kiyoshi fell into deep thought.

Isn't this task description a bit too detailed?

Could the ninja with special talents sent by the village be from Root?

spy?

So, there were no outsiders present when the intelligence was handed over?

Could it be any more obvious?

But hehe, I like it.

Sure enough, the teacher knew some things. I was wondering why I hadn't noticed for so long, and it turned out the teacher had helped. That was a great assist.

The teacher has gone to such lengths to help us, we can't let him down.

It's decided, none of the Root ninjas on this list will escape!

After registering the information, the Uchiha were removed from the Konoha camp.

Let's complete the mission first and get the intelligence first.

Heading west.

After bypassing the Sunagakure village's headquarters, Uchiha Kiyoshi arrived at the place mentioned in the mission, three days having already passed.

Near the Land of Wind, in a desert, Uchiha Kiyoshi met the other party.

Dressed in Sunagakure ninja attire, this average-looking Jonin is someone Danzo managed to get into.

Jonin are all high-ranking members; they most likely rose through the ranks from genin. I wonder if killing them would have made Danzo feel bad...

As for the overall situation?

This is not something Uchiha Kiyoshi should be considering.

The Third Hokage tolerated Danzo's attacks on his own village's ninjas during the war, so he should be fine doing this, right?

Hehe, it'll definitely be fine.

After all, he didn't know.

As for the fact that Konoha would suffer more casualties in the war due to the loss of a spy, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not think about it.

Anyway, the Uchiha clan didn't send any troops to the front lines; they were all left in the village by a certain Hokage.

innocent?

Sorry, but when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

If the Hokage and Danzo hadn't blindly trusted so many ninjas, would they have been so arrogant?

After receiving the information, Uchiha Kiyoshi used a modified barrier to shield his aura and then followed after them using earth-based techniques.

After leaving the border of the Land of Rain and entering the Land of Wind, they traveled another ten kilometers.

Uchiha Kiyoshi chose to make his move.

"Whoosh!"

Dozens of kunai were fired at the spy ninja.

Although the spy ninja was unaware that Uchiha Kiyoshi was following them, they remained cautious, as this was a requirement for spies.

The kunai seemed to have poor aim; they came in a barrage, but only five were actually aimed at him, which he, a Jonin, easily dodged.

To prevent the other party from sending a message, Uchiha Kiyoshi planned to finish the battle quickly.

Using the Substitute Instantaneous Movement Technique, he instantly teleported behind his opponent, and the hand seals for the Earth Dragon Spear, which he had completed long ago, were activated.

With his right arm pointing forward, and fueled by chakra, an extremely sharp earth spear extended from Uchiha Kiyoshi's arm, piercing directly into his chest.

Staring incredulously at the gun tip protruding from his chest, still dripping with his own blood, the spy ninja couldn't believe he was dead.

As his last vestige of consciousness faded, the spy's body finally lost its support and collapsed.

Chapter 86 The Secret Technique of Cloning

Uchiha Kiyoshi was starting to regret it.

"They shouldn't have stabbed him directly in the back."

Patting his forehead, Uchiha Kiyoshi sighed and carefully laid the spy's body down.

Looking at the hole in his chest, about half the size of a fist, Uchiha Kiyoshi gave a bitter smile.

"Such a serious injury will be difficult to treat."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kiyoshi formed hand seals, and then deep green light emanated from his hands.

Uchiha Kiyoshi placed his hand on the corpse's wound and activated his Yang Release chakra, causing the cells in the wound to divide rapidly.

Gradually, the fatal penetrating wound began to shrink.

Half an hour later, the wound had completely healed!

The cost was that Uchiha Kiyoshi's chakra was mostly depleted.
