From Hokage to Visionary

Uchiha Munezuki successfully passed the test secretly conducted by Sarutobi Hiruzen. He will gain the trust of the Hokage and become the key to controlling the Uchiha clan. He will play a huge role at some point in the future. Sarutobi Hiruzen is extremely sure of this.

To repeat, this is not a 'coincidence', but a guidance.

If you can't control your fate, then control people.

The power of human hearts will eventually converge into a vast torrent, and even a predestined fate cannot resist it, right?

"That makes sense."

Uchiha Sogetsu pushed his glasses down, his eyes twinkled and a gentle smile played around his lips.

Walking on the bustling streets as the night lights just came on, people passed by him one by one, but they seemed unable to see him.

The crowded crowd was influenced by an invisible force and unconsciously separated into a passage. He seemed to be independent of the world, enjoying the tranquility that belonged only to him, and walked through the crowd.

Very interesting, isn't it?

The audience sitting in the audience enjoyed the wonderful drama on the stage.

In front of the big red curtain, the actors vividly performed a script that had long been known, while the audience sitting in the audience either clapped or yelled, thinking they had seen through the script. However, what they did not know was that among the actors in front of the big red curtain, there was another "audience member" hidden.

He stared coldly at the audience and the actors on the stage.

In the play, but not in the play.

And the script of the story is still in progress, just as he wished.

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

Standing in the crowd, he slowly raised his head, looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and chuckled, "The next script will soon be your turn, Uchiha Madara."

It's another fateful Friday~ I don't know if there are any recommendations today. Oh, it's really hard to be a newbie. Please give me some monthly tickets to recommend and collect~

Chapter 72 Uchiha Sogetsu, do you desire power?

In the following days, Konoha was not very peaceful.

To be precise, the Uchiha family is not peaceful because of an incident that happened recently.

First of all, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly changed his behavior and not only brought Uchiha Sogetsu into the Anbu, but also appointed him to important responsibilities.

But if it were just that, it wouldn't cause much of a stir.

The key issue is that while serving as the chief examiner, Uchiha Munezuki beat up the jonin of the Sand and Iwagakure, so he was dismissed from his position as chief examiner by the Third Hokage. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is purely a trick for outsiders, and the really important things are yet to come.

After reprimanding Uchiha Sogetsu, the Hokage immediately gave an order and appointed him as the captain of the third branch of the Anbu.

It is said that after hearing the news, Iwagakure Toushi, who was lying in the Konoha Hospital, was so angry that his wound burst and bled profusely, and he fainted.

On the contrary, Ye Cang, who was in the bed next to him, was in a stable mood and in good condition. However, the nurse said that his eyes seemed to have lost focus and he looked quite depressed.

This is getting off topic. After learning that Uchiha Sotsuki was appointed as the captain of the Anbu branch, the elders of the Uchiha clan were devastated.

"What are you talking about? Keep the first place and fight for the second place. The sword is aimed at the third, fourth and fifth places!"

Uchiha Yoshu, who was in his sixties, was so angry that veins on his forehead bulged. He threw the teacup to the ground and said, "We are a bunch of old guys, but we are not as good as a youngster!"

Uchiha Fugaku looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, with his head lowered, looking as if he was in a trance.

In fact, quarrels are common in such boring meetings of clan elders, and people are used to it. If the clan leader does not have to attend, he would rather go back to accompany his wife.

"Ahem, there's still time." Uchiha Tetsuji, who also had a white beard, sighed, coughed twice, and said awkwardly: "Anyway, no matter who can go up, as long as it's our Uchiha, it's fine. Besides, the kid is young, we have a chance to sprint for the sixth Hokage!"

"Makes sense!"

"I agree!"

"That's right, our target is the Sixth Hokage!"

Looking at the group of old guys, Uchiha Enhuo's mouth twitched: "Okay, okay, you guys have changed so quickly, what about Fugaku?"

"Fugaku."

The elders were silent for a moment, and then shook their heads in unison: "Forget it, he has no chance."

This is too much!

Fugaku's eyes twitched, he raised his head speechlessly and glanced at the group of old men: "So, what you mean is that from now on, you will fully support Uchiha Munetsuki?"

"Wait a little longer, don't be so anxious."

Uchiha Enhuo pondered for a moment and said, "That child has been ostracized by the clan since he was young. Sarutobi Hiruzen saw this and let him take on important responsibilities in the Anbu."

"Yes, Yuan Huo is right."

Uchiha Tetsuji, who was second from the left, narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his cloudy pupils: "Don't forget about Uchiha Kagami."

Uchiha Kagami, these four words were like thunder, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the entire room.

He was once the pride of the Uchiha clan and also the hope of the Uchiha clan, but the final outcome is regrettable.

Whether it is a conspiracy theory or a fact, everything about Jing is forbidden to be discussed within the Uchiha clan.

"Don't mention the matter of Uchiha Kagami anymore, Elder Tetsuji."

Uchiha Fugaku pinched his brows and said tiredly: "As for Uchiha Munetsuki, I will handle his affairs properly, that's all."

The clan elders' meeting was over, and Fugaku was sitting alone in the room.

There was confusion in his eyes. He felt like a drowning person trapped in the sea. The more he tried to grasp hope, the further it would drift away.

"Is the only way out for the Uchiha clan really..."

Soft murmurs echoed in the room, but no one could give him the answer he wanted.

That night, dark clouds covered the moon and drizzled.

The needle-like drizzle moistened the earth. With only the sound of the dripping rain, the world seemed much more ethereal.

Taking advantage of the thick darkness of the night, a black shadow as black as ink, like a ghost, and extremely difficult to detect, slowly crawled in through the gap along the outer wall of the Uchiha residence.

The shadow seemed familiar, and had accurately bypassed all the alarms at the Uchiha residence's defenses, heading straight for a remote house.

It was like a shadow cast by candlelight, clinging to the doors and windows of the house.

The black shadow was not completely black. There were two empty eyes on its head, which were staring at the things in the room with some unspeakable weird look. The corners of its mouth slowly rose, forming a huge arc, almost reaching its ears.

Whoosh-!

Suddenly, a sharp kunai flew out of the window.

"Hahahaha."

The kunai pierced through the shadow's head and finally fell on the grass.

The black shadow laughed, and then without stopping, it turned into a shadow and swam away at an extremely fast speed.

"stop!"

Uchiha Sogetsu broke out of the door and chased after the shadow.

But the strange thing was that the distance between him and the shadow was always kept within a certain limit, so that he could see it but could not catch up with it.

Soon, Uchiha Munetsuki, who had been following the shadow all the way, suddenly found that the surroundings looked very familiar: "Is this Nanga Shrine?"

"Hahahaha."

The black shadow laughed again, as if mocking him, looked at him in front of the shrine door, and then went in.

"Stop!"

Uchiha Sogetsu didn't hesitate and chased in directly.

The shadow was chased all the way to the depths of Nanga Shrine, to the basement where he met Fugaku last time, and finally stopped.

"Finally you don't plan to run away anymore?"

Uchiha Munetsuki held a kunai, took a fighting stance, and said coldly: "You broke into Konoha and Uchiha twice, do you really think we can't do anything to you?!"

As he spoke, his chakra gushed out, as if he was about to take action in the next second.

"Wait, Uchiha Munetsuki."

However, at this moment, the black shadow suddenly spoke: "Aren't you curious why I led you here?"

"As expected, your destination is Nanga Shrine."

Uchiha Sogetsu frowned, but still remained alert: "However, you are overthinking it if you want to win me over in this way!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You are wrong, Uchiha Munetsuki."

The black shadow laughed hoarsely and deeply, and said meaningfully: "Aren't you curious about what is hidden on the stone tablet of Nanhe Shrine?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes showed shock, but he was still half-believing and half-doubting: "You know?"

"Not only do I know, but I know more than you do."

The black shadow's tone seemed quite confident, and he said: "The stone tablet of Nanga Shrine, the truth about the Uchiha clan, and the true power hidden in your blood, which is enough to make the ninja world tremble and make the Konoha Hokage afraid. Don't you want to know?"

Its voice was full of bewitching sounds, which aroused Uchiha Munetsuki's curiosity: "Who are you? Why do you sneak into Nanga Shrine again and again?"

"Haha, me?"

The black shadow puffed out his chest, proudly and proudly said: "I am 'Black Zetsu'. As for why I sneaked into here..."

At this point, Black Zetsu paused for a moment, and after whetting his appetite, he said, "Uchiha Sogetsu, do you crave power?"

"strength."

There was a gleam in Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes.

"Yes, it is known as the legendary power - the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Black Zetsu's hoarse and low voice was full of bewitching power, like a demon that led people to fall: "Uchiha Sogetsu, I ask again, do you desire the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

September 12, sunny

Great Jiangmen~ I hope there will be some recommendations today (haha~ the company's annual meeting has a program, and employees who don't participate have to pay 50 sponsorship fees. What kind of 21st century slave labor is this? OTZ I am a waste.JPG)

Chapter 73 The script is playing out as he wished

The plot is old-fashioned, the performance is stiff, and the characters are poorly reviewed.

Looking at Black Zetsu who pretended to be unfathomable and knew all the secrets, Uchiha Sogetsu felt very tired.

The audience can perfectly control his mind, so he can disguise any emotion and expression he needs when appropriate or necessary, just like now. Complexity and shock flashed alternately on his face, and then his eyes revealed deep suspicion and vigilance towards Black Zetsu.

Such complex emotional changes and extremely subtle facial expressions were all seen by the filial son Hei Zetsu.

Very good, that's the expression.

As expected, the Uchiha clan is still the same familiar way it is, without any improvement, and still so easy to deceive!

Just a few words can turn these stubborn guys into stupid idiots and make them become its tools to resurrect its mother.

This is true for Uchiha Madara and also for Uchiha Sogetsu.

Black Zetsu was very proud and became more and more satisfied with his decision. As long as he could bring Uchiha Sogetsu in, the "Moon Eye" plan could be greatly accelerated.

"Why do you know the secret of our Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Sogetsu lowered his voice, his eyes full of vigilance, and his muscles were tense, as if he would explode at any time in the next second.

"Secret? Haha, that's just for you guys."

Black Zetsu acted quite calm, not panicked at all, as if ignoring his actions, and said playfully: "As for why I know this, of course someone told me~"

Although in essence, it is just a ball of Yin-attribute chakra, and basically cannot use any escape techniques, let alone any frontal attack capabilities. But as a price, in exchange for it, it has a strong vitality that is almost impossible to be killed. Even if it is a sealing technique, it is rare to be able to completely seal it.

It is also because of this that Black Zetsu has been able to survive for thousands of years.

"Did anyone tell you?"

Although he already knew the answer, he still continued to act according to Black Zetsu's "script".

"Want to know who that person is?" Black Zetsu pondered in his mind and threw out the 'bait' again: "The stone tablet of Nanga Shrine hides far more secrets than just a Mangekyō Sharingan. That is a secret that is enough to subvert the entire ninja world. Do you want to know? Uchiha Munetsuki."

The Riddler is really annoying.

But what’s even more annoying is that even though he knows the plot, he still has to patiently watch it.
