Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

"I would have left even if he didn't agree. It was you who led me to sneak out of Konoha." Jiraiya smiled nonchalantly.

"Okay, then..." Orochimaru hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "When do you plan to come back? Don't even mention finding Tsunade. If she doesn't want to come back even if you find her, you can't do anything about her."

"Who can easily deal with that violent girl?" Jiraiya seemed a little distressed. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Wait until the New Year Festival. I will come back and take a look, and then make a decision."

"I see." Orochimaru nodded, and then he said with a slightly serious expression: "Well, I wish you a safe journey, Jiraiya."

"Yeah." Jiraiya nodded, and he also became a little serious: "I wish you all the best, Orochimaru."

……

"What, teacher, you're leaving?"

That night, in Minato Namikaze's house, Minato looked at Jiraiya in disbelief. He was somewhat confused about what was going on.

Although he knew his teacher's character very well, now was the time when the Konoha War was coming to an end and everyone was celebrating. Why would his teacher choose to leave at this time?

"Yes, Teacher Jiraiya, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Kushina was also looking at Jiraiya strangely.

"Of course it's because Konoha is too boring." Jiraiya said with a nonchalant smile: "And there are so many tigresses in Konoha, and every time we go to collect materials, we might encounter danger. In this case, it's better to..."

"Teacher Jiraiya!" Before Jiraiya could finish his words, Kushina's face turned red and she looked at Jiraiya angrily.

Kushina and Jiraiya have known each other for a long time, so there is no way she doesn't know what Jiraiya meant by "drawing materials".

But what exactly does this old pervert mean by saying it so blatantly?

Sometimes, Kushina really wanted Minato to never have any contact with that bastard Jiraiya again, but to her frustration, she knew it was impossible.

Fortunately, Minato is not that kind of person, otherwise he would have been led astray by Jiraiya long ago.

But she also felt annoyed when she saw such a guy talking nonsense every day.

"Teacher..." Minato was a little embarrassed now, he could only call out helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding." Jiraiya shook his head nonchalantly, then he smiled at Kushina and said, "I'm leaving soon, don't you plan to prepare a good meal for me?"

"It's only right that you starve to death." Kushina muttered angrily, but she still turned around to prepare dinner.

It is true that Kushina is a violent girl, but not all violent girls are bad at cooking. Kushina is obviously very talented in this area.

She had given rice balls to Obito, Kakashi and others before, and this was also well received.

"Teacher, can you talk now?" Looking at Kushina's busy back, Minato smiled, then he restrained his smile and looked at Jiraiya seriously.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Jiraiya also restrained his smile a little: "I met Orochimaru today, and we talked about some things."

"Lord Orochimaru?" Minato nodded. It was not strange at all that his teacher met Orochimaru.

The relationship between the two of them was very good. They were not only classmates but also comrades-in-arms who shared life and death. The only thing that puzzled him was why his teacher wanted to leave after the two met?

"I know you're curious, Minato."

Jiraiya looked at Minato and knew what the boy was confused about, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Konoha is not as simple as you think. There are many things here that require careful thinking and consideration. If you take a wrong step, you may get into big trouble."

"Teacher..." Minato looked at Jiraiya strangely. He felt that his teacher seemed a little strange now.

But in this strangeness, he seemed to truly see the glory that should belong to the Three Ninjas.

"Just listen to me, Minato."

Jiraiya reached out and patted Minato's shoulder, then he continued quietly.

“These things that require careful thinking have never been my favorite, even though I know how it works and how to think and do it, but I really hate it.

What I prefer is a life where I don't have to think about so many messy things. What I prefer is to live a free and unrestrained life that belongs to me, Jiraiya.

And I also have my own mission, a mission that I have been pursuing and searching for, but I think I should be finding it soon. "

Having said that, Jiraiya looked at Minato with a different kind of look in his eyes.

He has been pursuing the prophecy given to him by the Great Toad Immortal, and he has also been wondering who is the true son of prophecy.

Maybe it's Nagato, maybe it's Yahiko, or maybe it's the Minato in front of him, but all this takes time, and only time can prove everything.

"So, this is why the teacher is leaving?"

Minato didn't notice Jiraiya's gaze at this time. Instead, he was thinking about what Jiraiya had said before.

"Yes, but not entirely."

Jiraiya nodded, and then he looked a little helpless.

"In fact, I think you can also feel that the atmosphere in Konoha is a little bit wrong right now.

The person who really solved the problem in the Land of Grass was Uchiha Zong, but now we two supporting characters are getting more praise. Have you ever thought about this problem?"

"This..." Minato actually noticed this situation, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, he rarely pays attention to this. He is more focused on accompanying his family and better completing the tasks assigned to him by Konoha.

But he still doesn't quite understand, is there any hidden story here?

"The Hokage election is coming, which is why Orochimaru came to me today."

Jiraiya knew that Minato might not be focusing here, and he himself had not received much similar education, so it was not surprising that he could not react.

After all, Jiraiya is the disciple of the Third Hokage. He has seen and understood a lot of things and gradually came to know them. This can be considered as one of the benefits of being a disciple of the Hokage.

Looking at his disciple, Jiraiya spoke earnestly.

“You have always been smart, but there are some things that you can’t understand just by being smart, you need time to learn.

Although everyone thinks that Orochimaru will become the Fourth Hokage, nothing is truly predetermined. "

Minato Namikaze nodded as if he understood something, but also seemed not to understand it very well.

"I have no interest in becoming a Hokage, and I also don't have the ability. I know this very well."

Jiraiya withdrew his hand, leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile.

“People are different at different times. Sometimes you need to keep moving forward and fight hard, and sometimes you need to step back and have self-awareness.

So I plan to go out for a walk, relax, and come back when everything is almost settled. I think there won’t be any troubles by then.”

"is that so……"

Minato looked at his teacher. He always felt that there was something behind his teacher's words, but since the teacher didn't want to say it, he didn't ask any more questions, so he said with a smile.

"Then I wish the teacher a pleasant journey."

"Of course, I can finally get materials from everywhere, isn't this what I love most!"

Jiraiya laughed out loud, but when he noticed the look Kushina turned around and looked at him, the smile immediately stopped.

"Really? How could you marry such a violent woman?"

"Teacher..." Minato Namikaze was a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Jiraiya shook his head, and suddenly he thought of something: "By the way, I remember you had a dream since you were a child. You wanted to be a Hokage, right?"

"Yes, teacher." Speaking of the 'Hokage dream', Minato immediately became serious: "This is my dream, and also Kushina's dream. I will work hard to realize our dreams!"

"I support you." Looking at Minato with determination in his eyes, Jiraiya smiled.

"Hmm?" Minato was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded: "Thank you, teacher."

"Minato, remember, although I am not in Konoha, I will support you."

Jiraiya spoke again, and this time he seemed much more serious.

"No matter which generation of Hokage you are, no matter what happens, I will support you."

"I will always support you..."

……

"You bastard, how long are you going to keep me locked up? What on earth do you want to do?"

In a valley more than ten kilometers outside of Konoha Village, Mei Terumi looked at Uchiha Mune angrily and shouted loudly.

Her chakra had been sealed since she was captured, and she was then thrown into the Kusagakure Village. Now she was locked up in such a hellhole.

A huge basement was opened up in this valley, and the gloomy atmosphere inside this basement made people extremely uncomfortable.

And after careful observation, she found that this place was actually a laboratory. This discovery made her shudder.

But the strange thing is that after she, two other women and a weirdo were sent here, no one conducted any experiments on her.

In addition, nearby residents would send supplies such as food and water outside, and then ask that weirdo to pick them up, so that they could live here in peace.

But this kind of life made Mei Terumi even more uneasy, because she really had no idea what the Uchiha Clan's purpose was, and she couldn't help but think in the worst possible direction.

Could it be that he really intended to keep her bloodline in Konoha?

However, today, Uchiha Zong finally arrived here.

Although there were two people accompanying him when he came here, at least Mei Terumi met people, and she could finally try to ask some valuable questions.

"You can actually guess what we are going to do. After all, you are a bloodline ninja."

Uchiha Zong seemed very calm in the face of Zumei Mei's questioning.

“But for now we will only use your blood, so don’t worry. As for how long you will be locked up, I don’t know.

You have been handed over to Orochimaru, so strictly speaking there is no point in asking me, I don't know."

He could actually guess how Orochimaru was going to deal with the trouble of Mei Terumi.

Orochimaru probably won't do anything to Mei in order to avoid trouble, especially trouble during this period of time.

However, there is no need to tell Mei Terumi about these things. As long as she doesn't cause any problems, just let her stay there.

Today, Uchiha Mune came over on one hand to check on her and Uzumaki Kasai's situation, and on the other hand to let his dog father, the great elder, and Kakuzu talk about money matters.

Of course, he had his own ideas for running to this remote place this time, and that was the cells of the first Hokage.

Orochimaru had already given him Hashirama Senju's cells, but out of caution he had not used them yet.

One thing you need to know is that what he has in his hand is the original authentic product, not the inferior products like White Zetsu that were bred by Uchiha Madara.

The strength and activity of the cells in his hands are truly terrifying, and this is what he is worried about.

Having read the original work, he was quite clear about the human experiments conducted by Orochimaru when he first came into contact with this thing many years ago, and the only survivor was Yamato.

Although the Uchiha clan has a natural compatibility with the Senju clan, their bloodline has completely opposite properties.

And in the future, Orochimaru also proved that the Sharingan can suppress the power of Hashirama Senju's cells, thereby achieving balance without going out of control.

At the same time, it also proves that Hashirama Senju's cells can suppress the rejection reaction of the Sharingan, allowing Danzo to install an arm of Sharingan.

But who knows how many generations of products it has gone through, and the original product still makes him feel a little scared.

"The most important thing is that I'm not Uchiha Madara. If I had Indra's chakra, maybe I could also rush forward."

Uchiha Zong's vigilance has prevented him from injecting these cells until now, but he probably came here today to give it a try.

After all, this thing has been in his hands for a while, and if he wants his Kaleidoscope to be able to be used continuously and grow into the Eternal Eye, he must pass this level.

Therefore, he planned to control the amount and take a step-by-step process to determine how many of these cells should be injected.

"Besides, this is a laboratory with all the necessary equipment. This makes it more convenient for me."

Thinking of this, he ignored Terumi Mei and walked straight into the valley.

In order to ensure safety, a lot of barriers have been set up in this place.

Unless one knows how to break these barriers, people outside cannot get in, and people inside cannot get out.

It's easy to imagine what this damn place is used for.

Since Mei Terumi's chakra was sealed, she didn't even have to think about it.

"Hello, Master Zong."

"Zong Jun, you are here?"

Just as he was thinking and walking inside, he suddenly met Nohara Rin and Uzumaki Kasai.

The two of them are holding hands, and it can be seen that they get along very well.

Uzumaki Kaori looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she has long red hair like the future Karin.

It's just that the lines on her face appear softer and her personality seems calmer. Although her face is still a little pale, it's obvious that she has recovered well.

"Well, come and take a look." Uchiha Zong nodded to the two of them, and then he looked at Uzumaki Kasai: "You are much better now than when I saw you in the Land of Grass."
