Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

Chapter 80 Will he be the next Uchiha Kagami?

"The Third Hokage-sama."

After Uchiha Zong entered the Hokage's office, he bowed very respectfully and honestly to Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting at the desk.

This was not the first time he had seen Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, this Hokage had been to the Ninja School quite often.

Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen now does not look as old as he will be thirteen or fourteen years later. He looks like a middle-aged man.

However, although he is middle-aged, Uchiha Zong feels that he has reached the end of middle age.

Maybe in a few years, he will enter the stage of "old man", right?

But even so, the Third Hokage's current strength is still terrifying. Even if he is sitting there, the Uchiha clan can feel a sense of deterrence.

"Ah, it's Zong." The Third Hokage was originally looking at some documents. When he saw Uchiha Zong coming in, he quickly said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I was too busy recently and didn't have the chance to see you. I've wanted to meet you for a long time. After all, you are the hero of our Konoha!"

The Sandai's attitude was very gentle, and his appearance gave people the feeling of being bathed in a fresh breeze. It seemed that there was no sign at all that he was once a ruthless and decisive ninja hero.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Hokage." Uchiha Zong was very honest and respectful: "This is what I should do as a Konoha ninja."

"Indeed, as a Konoha ninja, if we can't protect Konoha, then wouldn't we become rootless duckweed?"

The Third Hokage smiled and nodded, then his expression became serious.

"However, this cannot obscure your glory as a hero of Konoha.

If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid the war in Whirlpool Country wouldn’t have ended so smoothly. But I have a question for you…”

Now that he was here, Uchiha Zong naturally knew that the Hokage was definitely not looking for him to give him a reward, he definitely had something else to do.

"Please speak, Lord Hokage." Uchiha Zong immediately spoke.

"I've read the report. You did a good job this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, then he suddenly stopped smiling.

"But I am confused. Is this your own idea or an order from Orochimaru?"

Sure enough, Uchiha Zong was not surprised at all about this question.

After all, what he did was not allowed by the top leaders of Konoha!

Fortunately, he had already thought about this problem a long time ago, and with Nara Shikagawa's reminder and his own communication with Orochimaru, he knew how to say it.

"Hokage-sama, I am only a ninja, and I will complete the task when I receive the order."

Uchiha Zong smiled and spoke slowly.

"And I think Lord Orochimaru should have a detailed description in the mission report. I think it would be better to ask Lord Orochimaru instead of asking me, so that I can get more detailed information."

Anyway, he neither admitted nor denied the matter. If there was any problem, he would go to Orochimaru. He was just a ninja.

"Is that so?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded: "I understand, I'm just curious. Orochimaru hasn't come back yet, so I can only ask you."

"I think Lord Orochimaru should be back soon." Uchiha Zong lowered his head slightly and spoke slowly.

"Yeah, we'll be back soon, and the matter of Whirlpool Country needs to be resolved."

The Third Hokage sighed slightly, then he calmed himself down and spoke gently.

"Zong Jun, there is one more thing I want to tell you this time. Because of your performance on the battlefield, we have made some decisions..."

Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused slightly, looking at the young man in front of him, his heart was also filled with emotion.

No matter who is in charge of everything behind the scenes of the Whirlpool Country, it is undeniable that this kid really did something incredible!

Whether it is gathering ninjas behind enemy lines or building a resistance organization while making those people remain loyal to Konoha, these are things that are difficult to do even with orders.

Not only did this kid do it, he also did it extremely well. The most important thing is that the elite Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist were defeated by him!

To some extent, this guy is the one who truly decides the outcome of the war in the Whirlpool Country.

Such calm judgment on the battlefield and such strength made Sarutobi Hiruzen sigh that Konoha had produced another top genius!

It’s just a pity that this genius comes from Uchiha, especially this kid may already have the Mangekyō Sharingan.

These are things that make Sarutobi Hiruzen feel wary, and they are things that he must be extremely careful and attentive to.

"From today on, you are a Konoha jonin."

Although countless thoughts flashed through the Third Hokage's mind, he spoke to Uchiha Mune with a kind face.

"Congratulations, Zong Jun, you just need to fill out this form."

"Jounin? Me?"

Uchiha Zong took the form with some doubts. After looking at the responsibilities and obligations that the Jonin needed to bear and fulfill, as well as the related benefits of the Jonin, he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Jonin has truly escaped the category of low-level ninjas. It can be said that Jonin has reached the threshold of reaching the core of Konoha.

But it is very difficult for you to cross this threshold. There are still many senior ninjas in the Uchiha clan, but the only one who can truly step into the core threshold is probably Uchiha Kagami, who has died long ago.

As for how Uchiha Kagami died, it is a mystery. Uchiha Zong doesn't know and can't guess it. No one can tell whether there is something hidden in it.

"Yes, you are qualified." The Third Hokage nodded. He stood up and looked at Uchiha Zong in front of him: "Thank you for everything you have done for Konoha. You are the hero of Konoha!"

"Thank you very much, Hokage-sama."

Although Uchiha Zong was very confused in his heart, he appeared calm and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I am a ninja of Konoha. Without Konoha, there would be no Uchiha Clan. I will fight for Konoha to the end!"

Although his improved strength made him no longer care about the rank and title of a ninja, why wouldn't he want the benefits when they were there?

Hadn't I made any contributions to Konoha and shed blood for Konoha in the Land of Whirlpools?

What's more, he found that he and Orochimaru were quite similar. He could do without some things, but you can't not give them to him!

"Very good, I hope you can remember what you said."

The Third Hokage showed a satisfied smile, then he signaled Uchiha Mune to hurry up with the documents, and thus Uchiha Mune officially became a Jonin of Konoha.

After figuring out these things, Uchiha Zong left the Hokage's office, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile slowly disappeared as he left.

"Come in." After a while, he slowly spoke.

At a side door in the office, Danzo Shimura walked in slowly with a cold face, but Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care too much and asked directly.

"How much do you think this kid said is true?"

"In my opinion, there is nothing credible about it." Danzo said indifferently: "Besides, they Uchiha will inevitably infiltrate the front line."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything after hearing this. He did not know whether Uchiha Mune's words could be trusted, but he knew one thing was very clear.

Orochimaru is coming back. There is no news about this in Konoha, but the Uchiha side already knows it.

Although he understood that there were many Uchiha ninjas in the Land of Whirlpools, and each family had its own source of intelligence.

But when you dislike someone, any problem of his will be infinitely magnified, and this is obviously the case with Uchiha.

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke calmly again: "So, do you think he has a chance to become Mirror?"

“You have to ask yourself this question.”

Danzo's eyes were slightly dim, and his tone became even more indifferent.

"Do you think he will become the next Uchiha Kagami..."

……

Chapter 81 The Snake Returns to the Village

Uchiha Zongke didn't know what the Third Hokage and Danzo said after he left.

However, he would not be surprised by the meeting between Danzo and Sarutobi. These two people grew up together and would communicate with each other about everything.

The biggest difference between the two is probably that they have slight differences in how they handle some things.

It's like anti-corruption and anti-terrorism, one requires evidence, the other only requires a list...

Of course, this person who talks about evidence may sometimes ask people to forge some evidence.

As long as there is a list of names, there is a lot of room for manipulation, such as making this person your own subordinate and announcing to the outside world that this person is dead.

Anyway, under the "win-win cooperation" of the two of them, Konoha can be said to be stepping on the accelerator on the downhill road, highlighting its "prosperity".

However, these have nothing to do with the Uchiha clan, although he knows that Sarutobi Hiruzen is definitely not just trying to give him the status of a Jonin.

He had even speculated that some of the information Orochimaru had said he wanted to tell him might be related to the high-ranking officials in Konoha.

For example, the reason why Orochimaru suddenly sent himself to the Mist-controlled area of ​​the Whirlpool Country was most likely at the instruction of the Konoha high-level officials!

Although Orochimaru is a little perverted, Uchiha Mune cannot deny that this guy was really nice to him at the beginning when they were in the Land of Whirlpools.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have accompanied himself with a Hyuga ninja to deal with the Mist Hidden Technique from time to time when performing missions.

But more than half a year ago, without any warning, he gave himself a task that was almost tantamount to suicide, which was a little unreasonable.

Although this guy said that this is a test, the test should at least allow people to survive, otherwise what is the point of this test!

"So, this matter is definitely related to the high-ranking officials of Konoha. In fact, sending Uchiha to the Land of Whirlpools was already a big problem..."

All I can say is that the Sandaime group's hostility towards the Uchiha is truly ingrained in their bones, and the Uchiha clan's dislike for them is also well-founded.

If they didn't have enough prestige in Konoha, now would not be the time to take action, and he was worried that he might fail.

Otherwise, he really wanted to kill these guys with a single blow and end their political and biological lives with physical means.

At the same time, let them feel what it means to "I am doing this for Konoha"...

……

Time passed quickly, and Uchiha Zong continued to practice as usual.

Although he was somewhat unhappy about his meeting with the Third Hokage during this period, he also received some good news.

The first one is this kid named Shisui. This guy is really ruthless and doesn’t talk much, and he really values ​​his promises.

He promised Uchiha Zong that he would deal with the second elder, but after Uchiha Zong met the third generation, he came up and told a shocking news.

“Senior, the Second Elder will support us in the future, just like the First Elder and Elder Setsuna.”

This sentence contained too much meaning, and it also made him understand that Shisui had either convinced the second elder, or that the magic of the other god had taken effect.

He didn't ask specifically what was going on, but just patted Shisui's shoulder gently to show that he understood.

Then, he took Shisui to train him well, and they only separated after Shisui's face was bruised and swollen.

In addition, Uchiha Zong also began to study the two techniques of "Chidori" and "Rasengan".

At the same time, he also began to try to activate the power of Susanoo.

Although he has connected it to his Susanoo, as long as he continues to develop it, the value of Chidori and Rasengan will not be as great as he imagined.

But in conventional combat, we can't use Susanoo as well, right?

He is not Uchiha Sasuke. In conventional combat, he doesn't even dare to use dojutsu casually, let alone Susanoo which consumes more energy than dojutsu.

[Ninjutsu: Rasengan (A): Level 1 (14/100)]

[Ninjutsu: Chidori (A): Level 1 (15/100)]

Looking at his latest panel, Uchiha Zong couldn't help but nodded slightly.

I have to say that his foundation in these two techniques is really solid. His other ninjutsu were all very low-level at the beginning.

The slightly better ones are the two techniques of Great Fire Extinguishing and Great Fire Extinguishing, but they only start at B level.

These two techniques start directly from A-level, which can only be said to be worthy of being the techniques used by the protagonist of the original work!

However, Uchiha Zong has no time to pay attention to these things now, because today is a little special.

Because today is the day Orochimaru returns to the village!

A week ago, after Orochimaru signed a ceasefire agreement on behalf of Konoha and Kirigakure, Konoha began to slowly release the news within the village.

The news of this victory instantly ignited the entire Konoha.

It has been almost ten years since the Third World War. Although the major ninja villages do not trust each other and there is no cooperation at all during the war.

But it is undeniable that Konoha was besieged by the four major ninja villages!

Although Konoha defeated the Sand Village, it was plunged into a difficult and long war afterwards. Every day, countless people worried about receiving bad news from the front line.
