Konoha: Uchiha's Gorgeous Rebellion

A faint sigh was heard from behind the thick smoke, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "But right now, besides Orochimaru, there are other suitable candidates in the village."

"Yes."

A faint sigh was heard from behind the thick smoke, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "But right now, besides Orochimaru, there are other suitable candidates in the village."

Some people died, but not completely...

Chapter 173 Missing Persons Case (Please vote and subscribe)

In Konoha Village, the biggest topic right now is the election for the Fifth Hokage, with Orochimaru being the most popular, or perhaps the only, candidate to succeed Hokage.

Originally, the Konoha ninjas wanted to wait and see the attitude of the Uchiha clan. After all, the Uchiha clan's desire for the position of Hokage was well known; however, to their surprise, the Uchiha clan actually expressed their support for Orochimaru.

In this regard, the ninjas of Konoha couldn't help but secretly sigh that Orochimaru was worthy of his name. Only he could make the arrogant Uchiha clan give up the fight for the position of Hokage.

However, an undercurrent against Orochimaru has begun to surge.

Uchiha Guard, Training Ground No. 6.

Uchiha Eiji's chest heaved, he breathed heavily, and beads of sweat slid down his face.

Opposite him, Uchiha Yuan stood calmly with his arms folded across his chest.

"Yuan, I never thought that I still can't make you move even half a step, and you only used one hand to fight me."

Uchiha Eiji said dejectedly, "I thought I had become stronger."

"Eiji, cheer up! Although I only used one hand, I fought you very seriously. You have indeed become much stronger and are now worthy of my attention."

Uchiha Yuan looked at Uchiha Eiji and said.

"Yuan, you are telling the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Eiji, who had originally looked dejected, suddenly brightened up his eyes.

Uchiha Yuan nodded slightly.

Uchiha Eiji wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Yuan, why is it that when I fight you, I always feel as if there's an invisible net enveloping me? No matter how I try to change my moves, you can easily deal with them."

Uchiha Yuan just smiled slightly and said, "How do you know that your change of moves is not what I want you to do?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Eiji was confused at first, and looked at Uchiha Yuan in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

After a while, Uchiha Eiji's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Uchiha Yuan in horror and stammered, "Yuan, you are kidding, right?"

He began to understand what Uchiha Yuan meant.

All his moves were completely within Uchiha Yuan's expectations, and Uchiha Yuan even used his moves to guide Uchiha Eiji's moves.

Uchiha Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Eiji, the increase in strength is not just an increase in chakra.

Although you use chakra to increase the speed and power of your attacks, your moves lack responsiveness and appear stiff and mechanical to me."

At this point, Uchiha Yuan glanced at Uchiha Chuan and the others standing not far away and said, "Based solely on the comparison of physical techniques, I'm afraid you are still no match for Chuan and the others."

"Impossible, how could Uchiha Chuan and the others be my opponents?"

Uchiha Eiji objected vehemently.

Uchiha Yuan smiled faintly, "If you don't believe me, you can have a competition."

Uchiha Eiji looked at Uchiha Kawa and said proudly, "Then let Uchiha Kawa and I have a competition."

"Kawa, no chakra needed, you and Eiji have a duel."

Uchiha Yuan came to Uchiha Chuan and said.

"Yes, Master Yuan."

Uchiha Kawa heard the entire conversation between Uchiha Yuan and Uchiha Eiji.

After hearing Uchiha Yuan's order, he looked at Uchiha Eiji with a fighting spirit on his face, but his figure flashed and he jumped in front of Uchiha Eiji.

"Uchiha Eiji, please give me some advice!"

Uchiha Eiji looked Uchiha Kawa up and down with disdain on his face and said, "Uchiha Kawa, let me see how strong you, a person of low aptitude who is not valued by the family, can become after following Yuan."

Hearing this, Uchiha Chuan's expression turned cold, and he said coldly: "Then let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Kawa rushed forward and punched Uchiha Eiji.

Uchiha Eiji raised his hand to catch the punch, and at the same time raised his foot to kick out.

The two sides fought back and forth, and in a short while, they had fought for several rounds; every punch and kick collided heavily, making a thunderous sound.

At the beginning, Uchiha Eiji was able to deal with Uchiha Kawa's attack with ease; but gradually, he began to feel that his moves were becoming a little less smooth.

Uchiha Yuan saw that Uchiha Eiji's moves were beginning to be suppressed by Uchiha Kawa, so he began to give instructions.

Uchiha Eiji immediately changed his moves according to the instructions. After a while, he found that his moves became smoother, and at the same time, he felt that the changes in the moves were suddenly enlightened.

At this time, Uchiha Yuan began to give instructions to Uchiha Chuan, and the competition between the two became more and more intense. The two gained some insights every time they fought, and constantly discovered their own shortcomings.

Swish!

Just as Uchiha Yuan was about to give instructions to Uchiha Eiji again, a figure flashed and appeared behind him.

The visitor was a member of the security team.

"Team leader, a rumor has just appeared in the village."

"What rumor?"

Uchiha Yuan asked.

"The rumor is that several ninjas have gone missing from the village."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuan was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. Then he said, "Since there are ninjas missing, it is our duty as the security team. Report this news to the police team and immediately find out which ninjas are missing."

"Yes, I will go now.

manage. "

After the security guard left, Uchiha Yuan looked towards the direction of Hokage Rock, stared at the statue of the Third Hokage and said secretly: Have you started?

Uchiha Yuan believed that the rumors must have come from Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

And if his prediction was correct, the rumors would intensify, and the security team would probably find it difficult to find out who the missing ninjas were.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a strong gust of wind blew up, and Uchiha Eiji and Uchiha Kawa were bounced back at the same time.

Uchiha Eiji looked at Uchiha Kawa with a complicated expression and said, "How about a draw in this competition?"

Uchiha Chuan exhaled heavily and agreed, "Okay, it's a draw."

Then Uchiha Eiji turned to look at Uchiha Yuan and noticed that he looked serious and deep in thought.

"Yuan, what happened?"

Uchiha Yuan sneered and said, "It's okay, it's just that some rats in the gutter are starting to cause trouble."

In the next few days, just as Uchiha Yuan had expected, the rumor spread more and more widely, and ninjas began to expose everywhere that a ninja they knew had suddenly disappeared.

The guard team did not care about the rumor, but the third team began to investigate the missing ninjas under the order of Uchiha Yuan.

Then they were stopped, and then the Anbu appeared and warned them that the Anbu were in charge of this matter and the guards did not need to intervene.

Uchiha Yuan, who received the news, immediately confirmed his previous guess. At this time, the third generation and others began to attack Orochimaru.

So, he informed Orochimaru of his speculation about the rumors.

But Orochimaru never responded.

Chapter 174 Talking with Kakashi

The land of the Qimu tribe.

"Water Style: Water Wave."

Qianshou Xuan leaped into the air and opened his mouth to spurt out a torrent of water towards Qi Mu Qingkong.

Hatake Harusora swung his sword horizontally in front of him, using the blade to block the torrent.

However, the powerful impact brought by the rapids made his face tense; after being pushed back several meters, Hatake Haruka swung his ninja sword with all his might and cut through the rapids.

However, at this moment, a figure flashed, Qianshou Xuan appeared behind him, raised his leg and kicked him with a whip.

Hatake Harukasora rolled forward in a rather embarrassed manner, avoiding Senju Xuan's attack; then he supported himself on the ground with one hand, jumped high with a sudden force, and swung his ninja sword towards Senju Xuan.

Near the open space where the two were fighting, Uchiha Yuan stood quietly, gazing at them with a solemn expression.

He is currently communicating with people through his mental power.

Beside him stood the spirit of Hatake Sakumo.

"Yuan, do you think the recent rumors in the village are directed at Orochimaru?"

Hatake Sakumo said.

"Yes, and teacher, don't you think this method is familiar? Back then, you were the most popular candidate for Hokage, but you became a so-called sinner due to rumors."

Uchiha Yuan sneered.

Hatake Sakumo was silent for a moment, then said with a complicated expression: "Yuan, it seems that everything you said was right; but I really didn't expect them to do this. This is destroying their own pillars."

Hatake Sakumo could not have imagined that Sarutobi Hiruzen would be so harsh on his own disciple in order to continue to hold on to power.

The reason for saying this is that this rumor is different from the suppression of Orochimaru when the fourth generation was selected; once the rumor is "confirmed", Orochimaru will be a sinner who has committed a serious crime.

Then there are only two outcomes for Orochimaru: either he will be imprisoned by the village or he will defect from the village.

Orochimaru obviously will not surrender, he will definitely choose to defect from the village.

Uchiha Yuan sneered: "It's not the first time they have destroyed their own pillars. Besides, even without Orochimaru, we still have Tsunade and Jiraiya."

Hatake Sakumo sighed deeply, "Ah, I never thought the Third Generation would have fallen to this level."

Uchiha Yuan said with disdain: "The Third Hokage and his men are already maggots on the rotten tree of Konoha. They are hypocritical and insidious."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of Danzo, the Root elder who claimed to be guarding Konoha in the dark and always touted his actions as extremely great. However, when Pain attacked Konoha, he ordered all the Root members not to go out.

His goal is to seize the position of Hokage, and he is willing to let more Konoha villagers sacrifice in Pain's attack.
