Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

Apart from that, you should keep an eye on the environment around this kid. After all, he is the son of Uchiha Fugaku, and maybe some interested people will contact him.

Finally, Shisui, when you have time, you can take care of this kid. The age gap between you and him is not that big, and there are some things that you can handle more easily than Elder Setsuna.

This kid's identity is somewhat special, and his talent is also visible to the naked eye, so I hope you will bear with me. "

"Yes, clan leader." Shisui and Uchiha Setsuna spoke at the same time.

It is true that his identity is somewhat special, and Uchiha Setsuna has indeed seen his talent. It is not excessive to be serious about such a person.

After clarifying some key things, the rest became simple. The work of clearing out the clan was done by his dog father.

Everything went extremely smoothly and was basically completed when he was still in the Land of Grass. His dog-father was not willing to be left out, so he led a team to take on the task of monitoring Uchiha Fugaku.

However, he felt that these things were really boring, so he simply let the Great Elder and his dog father go together to negotiate with Kakuzu.

At the same time, he also asked his dog father to have a good discussion with these elders about the splitting of the Guard Department.

What kind of power should the Uchiha retain so as not to appear too greedy and displease people from other families in the village, while at the same time ensuring that he does not suffer any loss?

There are many tricks involved, such as placing one's own people in other departments after the split.

These are things that they need to discuss and think carefully about in order to get the final answer.

"Well, let's end it here."

Uchiha Zong glanced at the sky outside. The silver moonlight was already shining on the earth. Unknowingly, they had been talking for a long time.

And now, he has to meet another person.

"It's so late, you still want to go out?" Uchiha Shinyi looked at his son with some confusion.

"Well, we have already made an appointment. It will be too late if we don't go now." Uchiha Zong smiled, and then he opened the door: "What do you think of today's welcome ceremony?"

"It's grand, but also shameless." Uchiha Xinyi said directly: "It is obvious that you have made the greatest contribution in the Grass Country battlefield, but today's welcome ceremony... Humph!"

"It's really shameless, but what if we look at it from another angle?" Uchiha Zong smiled at his dog father, then he looked at Uchiha Setsuna: "Elder Setsuna, you should have the answer."

"There is indeed an answer. I didn't expect the Sandaime to have other thoughts." Uchiha Setsuna sighed: "Does the clan leader want to see Orochimaru?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Zong nodded and looked into the distance, in that direction was the Hokage Building.

"There was an old monkey who wanted to pick the peaches I planted. How could I possibly let him do what he wanted?"

……

The moonlight was dim, and in a forest in Konoha, Orochimaru stood there quietly.

At this time, the weather had begun to slowly turn colder, and Konoha's forty-seven years were almost over.

However, Orochimaru was still only wearing a single piece of clothing. The chilly autumn wind seemed to have no effect on him, and he was in a very bad mood.

He was also present at today's welcome ceremony and saw the sea of ​​cheers with his own eyes.

Although he was still smiling at the time, he was well aware that an invisible battle had quietly begun.

He was now secretly looking forward to meeting Uchiha Zong tonight, even though this meeting was planned by Uchiha Zong in the Land of Grass.

"You're late, Zong-kun." Suddenly Orochimaru seemed to sense something. He licked the corner of his mouth lightly with his tongue, then slowly turned around.

Behind him, Uchiha Zong's figure had quietly appeared.

"I just came back, and there are many things in the family that need me to deal with. I hope Lord Orochimaru will forgive me."

Uchiha Zong smiled, then he took out a scroll and threw it directly at Orochimaru.

“This is a gift for Lord Orochimaru. Also, before this conversation, I hope to get something from Lord Orochimaru.

For this purpose, I have prepared a gift, and I think Lord Orochimaru will be interested in it."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru was a little surprised, but he still took the scroll.

"I don't know what Zongjun wants, but as long as it's within my capabilities, I think I can provide it."

"This scroll contains the body of the Explosive Ninja Hunter."

Uchiha Zong did not answer immediately, but talked about other things leisurely.

"In addition to Explosive Release, I also captured a very interesting person. This person is from Kirigakure and has two bloodline limits. I think this person's blood will also be a very good research subject, right?"

When Orochimaru heard this, his eyes couldn't help but look at the scroll in his hand, and he was also wondering who the Kirigakure was that possessed two bloodlines.

As for the blood research mentioned by Uchiha Zong, this did not make Orochimaru dissatisfied. After all, Uchiha Zong's words had already made him guess a lot of things.

Kirigakure knows about the existence of this person, and most likely also knows that this person is in Konoha's hands. So with his teacher around, this person probably won't be able to do anything too outrageous for the time being.

The Uchiha Clan is throwing the trouble to him, but as a person invested by the Uchiha Clan, such trouble is within his ability to handle, not to mention that he also benefits from it.

"I like this gift very much, but it makes me a little nervous." Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Zong: "After all, it's such a heavy gift, and what Zong Jun wants to exchange for it may not be easy."

"Yes, but no." Uchiha Zong smiled, and then his expression became serious: "Because what I want is only in Lord Orochimaru's mind."

"Oh?" Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to have known the answer: "You want Hashirama Senju's cells?"

"That's right." Uchiha Zong nodded: "My goal is Senju Hashirama's cells!"

……

Chapter 104 Cell Transplantation

"no problem."

In this sparsely populated forest, Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Zong seriously.

Uchiha Zong himself was also very clear that the conditions he proposed were indeed excessive to some extent. After all, those were the cells of the first Hokage!

However, unexpectedly, Orochimaru just thought seriously for a moment, then nodded decisively.

He didn't even ask Uchiha Zong what he was going to do with the cells, he just agreed directly.

Such decisiveness stunned Uchiha Zong himself. For a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Zong Jun seems to be very surprised."

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Zong who seemed to be still in a daze, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Didn't Zong Jun say it himself? For me, this kind of thing is just a matter of a thought."

Having said that, Orochimaru paused for a moment, then he gently licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue before speaking.

"Although Hashirama Senju's cells are very good and have high research value, the troubles involved are unimaginable.

It’s not a bad thing for me that Zong Jun wants to try it. Maybe Zong Jun can provide me with a new idea.

Of course, I am willing to give it to Zongjun because Zongjun is "one of us". If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even know the news about the first generation Hokage's cell research.

But Zongjun, I can't give you much for now. After all, that guy Danzo is controlling the number of cells I use for experiments.

Of course, it will be much easier in the future..."

Ever since Orochimaru had babbled while drunk and accidentally leaked the fact that he was going to help Konoha with experiments, Danzo had become more conservative about Orochimaru's experiments.

After all, whether for Danzo or the Third Hokage, Orochimaru's actions directly destroyed the plans of these two people with ulterior motives.

If this laboratory really could not leave Orochimaru, they would probably have replaced people by now.

As for the "future" that Orochimaru mentioned, it is obviously after he becomes Hokage. After all, if he really becomes Hokage, all resources will belong to him.

"Thank you very much, Lord Orochimaru." Uchiha Zong got the answer he wanted. He couldn't help but smile and bowed slightly to Orochimaru.

"Mr. Zong is still so polite." Orochimaru shook his head, and his expression quickly became serious: "But this time, I'm afraid my teacher will take action."

"Yes, today's celebration is really interesting." Uchiha Mune nodded slightly: "Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato are really popular."

Uchiha Zong also met Orochimaru during the celebration today, but due to various reasons they did not contact him at that time.

However, Orochimaru is probably still fresh in his memory of the "grand occasion" at that time. From the current perspective, Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to really intend to make some "adjustments" to the future Hokage.

Such a grand occasion also made Orochimaru involuntarily think of a conversation he had with Uchiha Zong in Konoha a few months ago.

During that conversation, Uchiha Zong mentioned the name 'Namikaze Minato'.

This made Orochimaru sigh that the Uchiha clan was truly far-sighted.

Had he anticipated the possible changes that might happen so long ago?

"Though I am confident, with my achievements and reputation, Namikaze Minato doesn't stand a chance."

Orochimaru didn't keep the man in suspense and asked directly.

"But I'm not sure what my teacher would do. I want to refer to Zongjun's opinion now."

"It's actually very simple. First of all, don't make mistakes."

Uchiha Zong knew the purpose of their meeting tonight, and now that he had obtained what he wanted, it was time to contribute.

"If I remember correctly, the election of Hokage should be held at the end of the year, so that it can coincide with the New Year's Festival, heralding a brand new beginning, right?"

"Yes." Orochimaru nodded, "However, Zong-kun's statement of not making mistakes seems a bit too general."

"Don't make mistakes, it doesn't just mean that Lord Orochimaru won't make mistakes." Uchiha Zong smiled, and he said meaningfully: "It means that Lord Orochimaru and all the subordinates who support you don't make mistakes."

Having said that, Uchiha Zong paused slightly before he continued.

"Lord Orochimaru should still remember the incident with Hatake Sakumo. Rather than saying he committed suicide, it would be more accurate to say he was driven to death by public opinion.

Public opinion is a terrible thing. It can not only destroy a person, but also shape a person.

Public opinion is now building up momentum for the achievements of Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, and even intentionally or unintentionally combining the two, and the momentum is even greater than that of Lord Orochimaru.

If Orochimaru's subordinates jumped out to refute or even conflict at this time, then this little thing would probably be magnified infinitely by those with ulterior motives."

Uchiha Zong's words made Orochimaru fall into deep thought. He knew the power of public opinion, but his understanding was not as thorough as Uchiha Zong's.

In other words, he never cared about this thing before. After all, he had always benefited from public opinion.

Now he really has to deal with this invisible torrent of public opinion, which really makes him feel a little troubled.

In fact, he was not the only one who was troubled. Uchiha Zong himself also found it troublesome when encountering such a thing.

For example, the incident with Mei Terumi made him depressed.

Those members of the Kirigakure Anbu who fled in all directions would naturally let Master Yuan know about this matter when they returned.

Both of your bloodlines have fallen into Konoha's hands, you won't not want to come back, right?

If so, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely know.

If the person has been killed by the Uchiha clan by this time, then this will worsen the relationship between Kirigakure and Konoha.

Of course, this is no big deal, after all, Kirigakure and Konoha have no relationship at all.

But the direction of public opinion is in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if Uchiha Munetoshi was killed without making any mistakes, who would listen to him?

Even a man with such great achievements as Hatake Sakumo could not hear his voice, let alone the Uchiha clan.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen blows the slightest breeze, he will become a 'peace destroyer'.

Although not fatal, it is definitely disgusting, like a fly constantly buzzing in your ears.

And letting it go is even more outrageous. You didn't catch the two blood descendants and let the tiger go back to the mountain. What do you mean by this? Do you have the village in your heart?

Public opinion is in the hands of others. You can't do anything about what others say about you. Anyway, you will be the one who makes the wrong decision.

That's why he easily passed the blame to Orochimaru.

"It seems that there will be a lot of troubles in the future." Orochimaru probably thought of this and couldn't help but glance at Uchiha Mune.

"It is indeed a lot, but next I think the first thing Lord Orochimaru should do is to restrain his subordinates."

Uchiha Zong didn't care about Orochimaru's look at all. He smiled and said meaningfully.

"As long as you don't make mistakes and don't argue about useless things, no matter how much ordinary people say, don't forget that the Sandaime was chosen by hand."

"But wouldn't this be too passive?" Orochimaru nodded. He thought for a moment before saying, "Although I am not as familiar with public opinion tactics as they are, I am not without solutions."

"That's great." Uchiha Zong nodded at Orochimaru's words: "And during this period of time, I think Lord Orochimaru should make two preparations."

"Oh?" Orochimaru was curious: "Which two moves?"

"First, Lord Orochimaru can talk to Jiraiya."

The smile on Uchiha Zong's face became even brighter, and he looked at Orochimaru and said softly.
