Orochimaru has completely regarded the Uchiha clan as his own, and he said it bluntly.

"He is the shadow of my teacher, and he is also someone who has been completely stereotyped by my teacher and will never be able to turn things around. He has ambitions but is not qualified."

"But he knows a lot of things, and he might even harm you."

Uchiha Mune said dimly, after all, in the original work it was Danzo who took the lead, leading Orochimaru to take the path of using his own people as experiments.

"So I have an idea, and I hope Lord Orochimaru will accept it."

"We are family, Zong-kun." Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just say it directly. I am not my teacher."

"I hope that there is some information, especially from the Hokage, Danzo and others, that Lord Orochimaru can share with me."

Uchiha Zong nodded and spoke calmly.

"I think I have proven my ability, and I also hope to get more, learn more, and participate more. What do you think, Lord Orochimaru?"

Uchiha Zong's request was actually a bit excessive. After all, he had already seriously exceeded his authority in terms of his position.

But Orochimaru is not an ordinary person. When facing his own people, especially those who are capable, powerful and valuable, he has always been very indulgent.

"Very ambitious, Zong-kun?" After a little thought, Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then, I think we need to work together in the future."

"Of course..." Uchiha Mune nodded seriously, and then he smiled: "Fourth Hokage..."

……

Chapter 85 Are you ready?

That night, Uchiha Zong and Orochimaru both got a relatively satisfactory answer.

However, "relatively" is only with regard to Orochimaru. After all, when he was sure that he would get the support of the Uchiha clan, he also received bad news.

But for Uchiha Zong, everything that happened tonight made him feel extremely satisfied!

Not only did he cause great doubts in Orochimaru's heart, but these doubts also made him begin to desire the position of Hokage.

The most important thing is that through this communication, Uchiha Zong got the information that was guaranteed to be known between the Konoha high-level officials and Orochimaru!

The reason why Uchiha Zong told him about Namikaze Minato in front of Orochimaru was not only to tell him that he was not the only choice for Hokage and to stimulate his ambition to become Hokage.

It is also to show Orochimaru that he is smart enough and capable enough to get more things.

For example, the information exchange between Orochimaru, Danzo and the Third Generation is of utmost importance to him!

If nothing unexpected happens, in the next period of time, Danzo will invite Orochimaru to conduct a second experiment on Hashirama Senju's cells.

And during the experiment, Danzo will probably do something, because this guy's desire for Hokage has reached a pathological level.

Uchiha Zong actually had no doubt at all that it was he who leaked the information about Orochimaru's human experiments.

As for using people from the same village for the experiment, this point cannot be refuted, but the question is, weren't these people provided by Danzo?

Moreover, if Konoha had not taken the lead in this matter, how would Orochimaru have been able to obtain Hashirama Senju's cells?

What's more, Uchiha Zong also thought of a problem through this incident, that is, the Third Hokage might have acquiesced to this matter.

Normally, if an accident like this happened to a candidate for Hokage who was also his disciple and involved Konoha, he would choose to suppress the matter no matter what.

After all, it's not a good idea to investigate such things. If you really find out something, it would be impolite to everyone.

But Orochimaru's character destined him to never refute such things, or he simply didn't bother to refute them.

Besides, he had made a decision, otherwise Danzo would have lost all the Root members in the Rain Country, and would have turned around to support Orochimaru and helped the Anbu make a comeback.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected Orochimaru without hesitation at the Daimyo meeting and then introduced the newcomer Namikaze Minato.

"I can only say that the Sandaime Hokage has thoroughly understood Orochimaru's character!"

Thinking this in his mind, Uchiha Zong returned to the clan territory secretly under the cover of night.

The matter of Orochimaru has now come to a temporary end, and what he needs to wait for is the news that Orochimaru will convey later.

In fact, even if Uchiha Zong did not go to meet Orochimaru, he could still communicate with him. After all, the communication methods they used on the battlefield are still retained.

But for something like tonight, it would be more sincere if they met each other in person. After all, this is a coup in the true sense!

"Or to put it more politely, Orochimaru and I are already splitting Konoha!"

Uchiha Zong did not have any psychological burden about splitting Konoha. He just wanted to smoke a cigarette and look at the sky, living one day at a time.

But if you don't want me to live my life, then isn't everything I do natural?

What's more, as for the current situation of Konoha, it can be said that 'the bright moon is hanging in the sky waiting for the king, and Konoha has an emperor emeritus'.

Who can bear this?

Moreover, in order to avoid being evaluated by future generations as "the former emperor died in the stable before completing half of his career", he really has to work hard.

In the following days, Uchiha Zong did work hard enough.

He needs to wait for Orochimaru's matter, and he also needs to wait for Uchiha Fugaku to come back. During this period of time, he must improve his strength.

After all, a tall building starts from the ground, but its ups and downs depend on oneself.

……

Peng, peng, peng...

In the Uchiha clan's training ground, three figures were constantly shuttling back and forth in the training ground. They were Uchiha Mune, Uchiha Katsuhiko, and Uchiha Masaki sparring with each other.

Ever since he found out that the physical skills of these two people had the effect of "empowering" him, he had been trying his best to "take advantage" of these two people.

Although he was beaten badly during this period (after all, he couldn't use the power of the Kaleidoscope in sparring), his physical skills level was improving rapidly.

Even if his physical fitness remains the same, his skills and experience continue to improve!

What’s even more interesting is that both Uchiha Katsuhiko and Uchiha Masaki felt incredible about his improvement.

It’s not that his improvement was so fast that the two people were surprised. After all, he was a person who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. With such a talent, it was not surprising no matter how fast he improved.

What surprised them most was Uchiha Zong's physical coordination and reaction ability!

The two of them have developed the Uchiha style of physical skills to an extremely high level.

They all knew that for Uchiha fluid technique, strength was important but not absolute. The most important thing was the body's coordination and reaction ability.

Only with terrifying coordination and reaction ability can you use the softest movements to avoid the most fatal damage, and at the same time use faster and simpler movements to fight back against the enemy!

But these two things are easier said than done. It is not easy to refine them. Neither of them knows how much they have paid to reach this point.

However, these two things seemed to be innate to Uchiha Zong, and he could do all of this easily!

All that remains is to simply hone your skills and gain more practical experience.

"Is this true genius?"

Looking at the young man who was growing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, Uchiha Katsuhiko and Uchiha Masaki were filled with infinite emotion.

But they are now very peaceful in their hearts. After all, they were severely beaten, and in their hearts they already regard Uchiha Zong as the 'number one Uchiha'.

For people like this, the faster they improve, the better!

But while they were training, Uchiha Zong suddenly frowned, because he noticed that Orochimaru seemed to be looking for him...

……

"A new round of research?"

In Orochimaru's residence, looking at the scroll in his hand, Orochimaru couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After talking with Uchiha Zong, he was silent for a while. During this time, he began to seriously analyze the current situation and observe his teacher.

As a result, he found that he actually noticed something!

Although his teacher did not show anything unusual, he has not been involved in any government affairs since he returned.

Not only that, even the war on the front line has nothing to do with him now!

Although the battle situation in Konoha has improved, victory has not been completely established. Under such circumstances, he naturally should not continue to be kept in Konoha.

But his teacher now treats him coldly, as if everything has nothing to do with him!

"It seems that he really has an idea..."

Whenever he thought of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer. If it were in the past, he might not care, and might even be happy to have nothing to do.

But now it’s different, because someone has reminded him, and because he can put aside his pride and look at everything more calmly!

And now, when he was being treated coldly, Danzo extended him an olive branch and invited him to participate in a new round of research on Hashirama Senju.

If it were in the past, he would probably be very happy to do this, but now he has to consider the deeper meaning of it.

Especially since Uchiha Zong has reminded him that Danzo has never been an easy person to deal with!

"I have always thought that I have done a good job in understanding human nature, but now it seems that I still need to improve my vision. At least I need to be calmer."

Orochimaru dropped the scroll in his hand, his tongue licked his lips lightly, then he stood up with one hand, and the chakra in his body began to surge.

"Uchiha Zong, the challenge is about to begin, are you ready..."

……

Chapter 86: Konoha is taking the lead

"Lord Orochimaru, I wonder what you want from me so late at night."

In Uchiha Zong's room, he had already set up a soundproof barrier and was staring at a poisonous snake in front of him.

And the snake spit out its core as if it had a soul. It was obvious that the snake had been activated, and it was now Orochimaru!

Uchiha Zong is now a little curious about what Orochimaru wants to talk to him about.

But if you think about it carefully, it has been a while since he 'threw the snake', and they really had no contact during this time.

After all, their identities are there, so they still have to pay attention to the possible adverse effects.

Especially after Orochimaru has noticed some of the Third Hokage's thoughts, he must also pay attention to his own behavior.

"Is it quiet enough over there?"

Orochimaru was sitting in his home, supporting his head with one hand and looking a little lazy, but there was also a seriousness in his expression.

"Don't worry, Lord Orochimaru. It's just you and I talking now."

Uchiha Zong spoke calmly, thinking for a moment before he spoke.

"But Lord Orochimaru, why don't you improve this communication mode? I think it would be better if we could see each other."

“It is indeed a very good research direction, but there are too many issues involved. I need time and resources.”

Perhaps because of the topic of technology, Orochimaru was happy to talk more, but he did not forget what the most important issue was this time when he went to visit the Uchiha clan.

"I'm looking for you today because I have something very interesting to tell you. Don't you want to know the connection between me, the teacher, and Danzo?"

"Oh, please speak, Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Zong raised his eyebrows slightly, and he instantly understood what Orochimaru meant. He was probably thinking that the Third Hokage or Danzo was looking for him.

"Danzo came to see me today."

Sure enough, just as he thought, Orochimaru directly told him the reason why he was looking for him, and also said something more interesting.

"He invited me to participate in a research project that I was very interested in but now seems a bit troublesome."

"May I know what research he asked you to do?"

Although Uchiha Zong knew the details of this matter, he couldn't say it out loud, especially because he wanted to see how much Orochimaru would keep from him.

There is no doubt that everyone has secrets, but some secrets are not applicable in certain situations.

Especially for these two traitors!

"This matter is very serious and confidential, but with Zongjun's strength and status, it is not impossible for him to know about it."

Orochimaru thought for a moment before he spoke quietly.

“In fact, I think Zongjun can guess something, that is, the village’s research on bloodline.

Not only have other villages been doing this, but Konoha, as the number one ninja village in the ninja world, has also been constantly researching and exploring the power of bloodline.

Whether it is the ones we still have now, or the powerful ones that disappeared for some reason, such as..."

"Wood Release."
