Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

But just as he was stunned, the snake looked at him and the hoarse voice sounded again.

"I thought you had failed your mission and died, but I didn't expect you to give me a huge surprise."

In the Konoha camp, Orochimaru's face did reveal a hint of surprise, as he had seen Kirigakure's performance during this period.

The repeated retreats and the slightly low morale of the frontline ninjas undoubtedly proved that there were indeed huge problems in the rear of the Kirigakure!

It’s just strange that according to the reports from the Anbu stationed by Konoha behind the Whirlpool Country, those important Mist Hidden Facilities were not destroyed.

The root cause of all this turmoil is the members of the Whirlpool Country Resistance Organization, and the shadow of Konoha Ninja may be among them.

Combining these pieces of information together, Orochimaru became even more curious about who was so bold as to do such a thing behind enemy lines.

He also increasingly hoped that the people he sent out could find the leaders of the Konoha ninjas as soon as possible, so that at least he could know what was going on.

And now he discovered that the people who did these incredible things were actually the Uchiha clan he sent out in the first place!

Naturally, he had a deep memory of Uchiha Zong. After all, he had received a mission related to this kid.

Moreover, he also had some thoughts about the Uchiha clan, so after determining that this kid might be in trouble, Orochimaru felt disappointed.

But now it seems that I really underestimated this kid!

"Lord Orochimaru is so complimentary."

Uchiha Zong had no idea what Orochimaru was thinking. After all, he was facing a snake and had no chance to meet Orochimaru face to face. Naturally, he could not guess anything from the other's expression.

Of course, even if we meet face to face it would probably be of no use. After all, it is really hard to guess what someone like Orochimaru is thinking.

"I know whether it is a false compliment or not, Zong Jun."

Orochimaru licked his tongue slightly, then he tapped the table gently before finally smiling through the snake.

"Tell me about this matter in detail. I want to know more details and know more about your affairs. Only in this way can I make the most correct judgment."

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Zong nodded slightly, and then there was a record, but those things were for the Hokage to see, and they could also be changed.

If I could communicate with Orochimaru in advance, it would be easier and more convenient to modify these things.

But as soon as Uchiha Zong opened his mouth, Orochimaru couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It all started when we entered the Kirigakure controlled area and met your disciple Hongdou..."

……

Chapter 41 Orochimaru’s Ambition

Uchiha Zong explained in great detail, telling Orochimaru exactly what he had done since he came behind enemy lines.

Although there were some hidden things in it, it was generally true, and Orochimaru in the Konoha camp listened very carefully.

While listening, he was also thinking about what he would do if he was in the Whirlpool Country area controlled by Kirigakure.

After thinking it over, he felt that he would probably strictly follow the mission ethics, because as a ninja, a mission is a mission, and he would not change that.

But Orochimaru frowned after reaching this conclusion, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the answer he got.

Orochimaru is also a person who is proud of himself. Although he feels that as long as he follows the mission ethics and procedures, there won't be any major problems and he can complete the mission.

However, considering Uchiha Zong's age and the specific consequences of his unauthorized change of the mission, he did not feel so comfortable.

"Training civilians, using their hatred to harass and compress Kirigakure's space, and deliberately incorporating the concept of 'Konoha helped them, saved them' into the training.

Let them have a good impression of Konoha and Konoha ninjas. Even if we leave here and want to come back at some time in the future, there will be too many problems.

This little devil, really is..."

Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was really shocked by Uchiha Zong's actions.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to think of so many things in such a short time. You know, this guy started thinking of ways to make up for it all after saving his disciple.

Such a reaction speed is really incredible. If it were him, he might be able to think of a way to make up for it, but it is impossible for him to make such a decision in such a short time.

Of course, Orochimaru was also wondering whether this kid had already made such a plan, and that he saved his disciple in order to better do things under his own banner.

However, this thought only flashed through their mind. In a place like that, who could have guessed who they would meet, especially since they had no idea who had gone behind enemy lines.

"And this kid's strength is beyond my imagination. No wonder the members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist at the front line left the battle sequence."

Orochimaru tapped the table lightly with his fingers. When he heard that Uchiha Zong had single-handedly defeated Biwa Juuzou and Kurochu Raiga, leaving one dead and the other injured, he was really stunned.

Of course he knew who Kurochu Raiga and Biwa Juuzou were. Although these two guys were not a big trouble to him, it was different for others.

What's more, even if it was him, if he was careless when dealing with these two people, there was a possibility that he would fail.

"Strength, wisdom, and judgment, this kid is more than just a surprise to me!"

Orochimaru licked his tongue gently, his eyes involuntarily flashed with an inexplicable luster, and his fingers tapped on the table faster and faster.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Just as Orochimaru was thinking, Uchiha Mune's voice suddenly came from a snake hovering on Orochimaru's desk.

"That's the situation. We have also made corresponding reports. I think we can present all the reports to Lord Orochimaru after we return."

"You did very well. Very well."

Orochimaru's fingers tapping on the table slowed down. He thought for a moment and then smiled.

"It's beyond my expectation. It's so good that I'm deeply moved. Do you remember what I said to you when you set out?

Now it seems that you should be proud. You turned a disadvantage into an advantage, an unprecedented advantage that even I have to look askance at. You really exceeded everyone's expectations."

"Lord Orochimaru?"

Uchiha Zong couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear this. The somewhat inexplicable conversation half a year ago once again came to his mind.

However, he had no qualifications and no way to ask before, but now he felt that he could give it a try.

Especially now that he has a kaleidoscope, at least he has the confidence.

"Can you tell me what's going on? I always feel that what you want to tell me is not that simple.

Of course, if Lord Orochimaru is unwilling to speak, I will not force him to do so."

"It's actually no big deal to tell you. After all, I've already given you a hint, haven't I?"

Orochimaru licked his tongue. He was still tapping the table slowly with his fingers, but a smile appeared on his face.

"This operation is indeed not as simple as you imagined. Before this, I had no intention of letting you carry out this mission.

But later I decided to let you carry out this mission, and I was also testing you."

"I didn't plan to do that originally, but later agreed, but I'm still investigating?"

Uchiha Zong frowned when he heard this. He didn't know what Orochimaru meant.

Especially this inspection, which made him unable to react all of a sudden. How could he let Orochimaru inspect him? You know, Orochimaru is now a staunch supporter of the Third Generation, the Hokage...

"Wait, Naruto?"

Uchiha Zong suddenly seemed to think of something, and his thoughts seemed to become clearer.

After hesitating for a moment, Uchiha Zong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lord Orochimaru, are you accumulating your own team and strength for the position of Hokage?"

"As expected of someone who came up with such a plan behind enemy lines." Orochimaru's smile became even brighter at this moment: "Mun, your thinking is quicker than I thought."

Having said that, Orochimaru paused slightly before he continued.

"Yes, I plan to work a little harder for the position of Hokage. After all, I don't think anyone in Konoha is more qualified than me.

Although strictly speaking, I feel that my obsession with Naruto is not as strong as I imagined, but of course I have to be prepared.

I have no ill feelings towards Uchiha, but other Uchiha may not have a good impression of me, so naturally I have to make some preparations.

What do you think, Zong Jun?"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Zong couldn't help but purse his lips. Orochimaru was still so proud.

But Lord Orochimaru probably never dreamed that the things he thought were within his reach would not belong to him in the end.

Of course, Orochimaru's character seems to remain the same. He is still interested in the position of Hokage but not strongly.

This is also very normal, because Uchiha Zong knows what Orochimaru desires most in his heart!

But no matter what, he would still make the necessary preparations, but Uchiha Zong didn't expect that he would choose himself.

"Lord Orochimaru really thinks highly of me." Uchiha Zong smiled bitterly: "And Lord Orochimaru seems to be too confident, right?"

"As a ninja, caution is inevitable, and self-confidence is inevitable." Orochimaru's magnetic voice sounded again: "And don't you want to know the other reason why I agreed to let you participate in the mission?"

"Lord Orochimaru, please speak." Uchiha Zong hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"Let's talk about this in person."

What Uchiha Zong didn't expect was that Orochimaru directly rejected him and told him a piece of news that surprised him.

“Mong-kun, you may not know enough about Konoha, but I want to tell you that Konoha’s attitude towards Uchiha is not as good as you think.

And I said, I have no ill feelings towards Uchiha, but Uchiha does not necessarily have a good impression of me. Uchiha must change, and it must be changed in my hands!

So I need to see your ability. Now you are basically qualified, but there is still one thing you need to solve. Once you complete it, I will let you get everything of Uchiha.

In other words, I will do everything I can to make everything in Uchiha yours!"

……

Chapter 42 Take the initiative

The Uchiha clan now experienced how crazy Orochimaru could be when he went mad.

Although this guy was prepared for a rainy day, the extent of his preparations was so great that even someone as taciturn and cautious as Uchiha Zong was a little shocked.

He was so determined that he would become Hokage that he actually started making arrangements starting from the big families. This approach can only be described as horrible.

"But you probably couldn't imagine that the teacher you respected the most actually gave you a hard time!"

Uchiha Zong rubbed his eyebrows. He remembered what happened to Orochimaru very clearly. After all, just when he thought he was stable, his teacher slapped him hard.

Then I told him earnestly: What I give you is yours. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t take it away from me.

Turning around, the Sandaime pushed Namikaze Minato to the position of Hokage.

Even though Uchiha Obito gave Minato Namikaze a little surprise of "teacher, friend and fellow student" on this warm land of Konoha, which led to the death of both the Namikaze couple.

The fifth Hokage did not get his turn because the Sandaime said, "I'm not too old yet, I can continue!"

To be honest, if Orochimaru was facing a person other than his teacher, the Third Hokage, he would have used his poisonous snake to kill him.

However, facing his teacher, he was somewhat hesitant. Of course, this was also related to the fact that his teacher still had a certain level of strength at the time.

But he soon realized that he was too slow, because his teacher acted first and sent him out of Konoha.

It can be said that Orochimaru is a tragedy. At least he was a big tragedy during his time in Konoha.

This guy is now looking for him with full confidence. Normally, it would be best for the Uchiha Clan to ignore him, because this guy is destined to fail!

"But here comes the question. If I really let the Third Hokage continue, then the fate of the Uchiha clan is already determined. Do I really have to run away?"

Uchiha Zong couldn't help but think in his heart that after opening the Mangekyo, he was indeed capable of fighting.

But the problem is, what he has to face is not the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura, but Konoha ruled by these guys, plus the traitors of Uchiha himself!

Such a combat power comparison is not to say that it is fraught with difficulties, but at least the chances of winning are slim.

Besides, there is really no good place to go if you leave Konoha, and Uchiha Zong actually understands this in his heart.

To be honest, if he had not been assigned to work under Orochimaru, he would have considered supporting Minato Namikaze.

But unfortunately, he came to the battlefield of Whirlpool Country, and for the time being he has nothing to do with Minato Namikaze.

In his previous life, there was a saying that goes 'It is easier to add flowers to a brocade than to send charcoal in the snow', but conversely 'It is easier to send charcoal in the snow than to add flowers to a brocade' is also a truth.

"Besides, the bargaining chips given by Orochimaru are too tempting, right?"

Recalling what Orochimaru said, Uchiha Zong admitted that he was a little moved.

Although Orochimaru is not a good person, he has a very distinctive characteristic.

That is, he can adjust his attitude based on the value and strength created by other people.

If you have no value and no strength, then he may not be kind to you, but if you have value, then he will be very good to you.
