Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 122 Other Gods

Shisui felt his heart pounding, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Jin Huo's guess was correct. Not long after the two of them started chatting, the voices of Sima Yi and Ying Shu were heard from the courtyard.

Shisui immediately rushed to the front yard with the books. When he saw the books that Yingshu was holding, the corners of his mouth twitched and he immediately remembered what Orochimaru had done.

"Grandpa, you're not interested in that kind of thing, are you?"

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after seeing the book in Shisui's hand, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm just a little interested, and I plan to read some books to learn a little bit, but I won't go into it in depth."

Sima Yi finally understood why Orochimaru even bought those worthless adult men. He had to say that the ninja world was really bizarre. His worldview was refreshed once again.

The wonderful knowledge of the human body also attracted him, so he put down the sealing technique and borrowed Yingshu's textbook. He really wanted to know what Orochimaru wanted to study.

However, given Uchiha's situation, even if he was interested, he would not put it into practice at this time. He still has some patience.

"That's good."

Shisui breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Sima Yi would do the same experiment as Orochimaru. Of course, the experiment itself was not a problem, it was just that Orochimaru chose the wrong subject. If the experimental subjects were ninjas from the enemy country, Shisui would at most just sigh and would never hate Orochimaru so much.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the books Sima Yi had purchased. These were relatively secret knowledge that could not be purchased in ordinary stores, but with the power of the Uchiha, this was not a problem.

The two returned to the study, and Sima Yi asked, "How is Orochimaru? Given the character of the Third Hokage, he probably won't be executed."

"The third generation intends to put him in the prison of the Ministry of Police. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be locked up for life."

"Oh?"

Sima Yi was moved, thought for a moment and asked: "What about the documents in Orochimaru's laboratory?"

"Ah? That kind of thing should be sealed away."

"Is it heavily guarded? Can you bring him out to see?"

Shisui was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Grandpa, didn't you say you were not interested?"

Sima Yi smiled and joked: “Although I am old, my memory is still good. I clearly said that I was slightly interested.

But I really want to know what kind of research would make Orochimaru carry it out even at the cost of his own life.

And since you don't want to have Fugaku's eyes transplanted, we have to think about whether we can use other methods to help you solve the sequelae of the Mangekyo."

Sima Yi has learned all the secret records guarded by the Great Elder through Shisui. Although the Eternal Mangekyo is powerful, Shisui is very repulsive when it comes to Fugaku.

However, Shisui rarely uses the Mangekyō, and his eyes are in good condition, so the two of them temporarily put this matter on hold. But the problem is there after all, and they have to face it sooner or later.

"Also, his research probably took a long time. If all these records are gone or sealed away and never see the light of day, wouldn't these people have died in vain?"

Zhishui was speechless. He naturally couldn't argue with Sima Yi, so he could only sigh and whispered, "I'll find a way to get the document."

After saying this, Zhishui left in a hurry, fearing that Sima Yi would say something vicious again.

Sima Yi shook his head, opened the newly bought book and flipped through it. After just a moment, he sighed: "The mysteries of the human body are such a wonderful and complex subject~"

That night, the Anbu interrogation room was dark and confined, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Orochimaru sat quietly in the room, motionless. After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight movement outside the interrogation room. He slowly opened his eyes, smiled faintly, and walked to the door based on his memory and pushed it gently.

The door of the interrogation room was opened so easily.

Under the moonlight, several Anbu collapsed to the ground powerlessly. Several dark snakes only as long as index fingers left their bodies and followed Orochimaru's fingers back to his palm.

Licking~
The night wind blew, ruffling his long hair. His pale cheeks were slightly rosy. Orochimaru licked his lips and looked towards the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory with an obsessed look in his eyes.

"Hehe, Shisui, wait for me to come back~"

swoosh~
Late at night, Shisui, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and looked outside the door.

I saw five figures lined up on the other side of the gate wall.

Hui, Inahime, Tetsuha, Izayoi, Kyohei.

"what's up?"

Hui, Inahiri, and Izayoi are in charge of the police department affairs, Tetsuka and Kyohei are in charge of the clan guard team. The arrival of these five people at the same time made Shisui's heart sink.

"Hokage-sama has sent someone to report that Orochimaru has defected. Please ask the clan leader to go to the Hokage building immediately."

"what?"

Shisui's face changed and he immediately dressed himself. He didn't expect that so many people in the Anbu couldn't keep an eye on a big Orochimaru?

"Have you confirmed that Orochimaru has escaped from the village?"

"Insufficient intelligence, no specific information is known."

Shisui came outside, looked at the five people and immediately ordered: "Tai and Inahiro, follow me to the Hokage Building. Izayoi inform Yashiro and Otetsu to go to the police department and wait for orders. Tetsuka and Kyohei take people to guard the clan land and be careful of someone taking advantage of the chaos to commit crimes."

"Yes!"

At the command, the Uchiha immediately took action, while Shisui turned around and came to Sima Yi's door.

"Grandpa, something happened."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Yi opened the door and walked out, neatly dressed. He woke up after the five people entered the yard and triggered the ban.

"Why are you so anxious? Could it be that the war in the north was lost?" Sima Yi was puzzled. What other major events could affect the entire village at this moment?

"Orochimaru has defected!"

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes changed. He looked at Shisui with a very serious expression and said, "The study of the human body is indeed profound. I know too little about this aspect. If I start from scratch now, I'm afraid it will take several years to gain some understanding."

He had originally planned to go to the prison and communicate with Orochimaru frequently, but now it was clear that there was no such opportunity.

Shisui was puzzled and quickly said, "Grandpa, why are you still talking about this at this time?"

"The Third Hokage may hunt down Orochimaru tonight. You can help. If you have the chance, talk to Orochimaru and see how accomplished he is in this area. If possible, use these eyes to control him."

"Control Orochimaru!"

Shisui was shocked. He naturally understood what Sima Yi meant, but he did not refuse. The problem of Mangekyo had to be solved. Not only for him, but also for Fugaku, and perhaps other members of the clan in the future.

"I understand. I'll try my best!"

After the two of them finished talking, Shisui immediately brought people to the Hokage building. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the Third Hokage sitting there in combat uniform, smoking a pipe.

There were three assistants sitting in the room, all of them looking at each other with their eyes on the nose and their noses on their hearts, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Third generation sir."

"Orochimaru has betrayed the village. Although I have injured him, his strength should not be underestimated. The Anbu is short of manpower, so I want the police department to help hunt him down."

The Sandai was obviously not in a very good mood, and when he saw Shisui coming in he gave orders directly.

The other three had different expressions. The fact that they even asked Shisui to do something like this showed that the Sandai had become more and more trusting of the other party.

Danzo narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in the room. Thinking of the whispered words at the beginning, his mind gradually became confused.

"Yes! I'll lead people to chase him right away!"

Shisui agreed without any hesitation. Seeing Shisui like this, the third generation sighed with a conflicted expression, but in the end he just nodded and said, "Please."

Shisui's heart moved, knowing that the Sandai was starting to struggle again, so he left without saying anything, and then, accompanied by several Anbu members, he took Hui and Inahori and chased after them outside the village.

At the same time, not far outside Konoha Village, Orochimaru's cold snake eyes glanced indifferently at the people in front of him.

He didn't expect the Third Generation to react so quickly and act so decisively, which was unlike what he usually did.

Before he left Konoha, the other party caught up with him and beat him up. Fortunately, the other party softened his heart in the end, and he was able to escape safely.

However, it was obvious that the other party changed their mind soon after he left, and wave after wave of pursuers came after him.

The four people in front of me are the third wave. All four of them are wearing masks, and the one leading them has a head full of conspicuous silver hair. It is Kakashi.

Kakashi held a kunai and surrounded Orochimaru with the other three people, moving extremely carefully.

After all, the person in front of them was one of the three famous ninjas of Konoha in the ninja world. Even if he was injured, they had no confidence at all.

Orochimaru was in no mood to waste time with them, and broke through in the direction away from Konoha. Seeing this, the four rushed over at the same time. He had been through hundreds of battles, and even though he was seriously injured and surrounded by powerful enemies, he remained calm. He twisted his body at will, and knocked the four people to the ground in just a few moves with just physical skills.

Kakashi held his stomach and stood up with difficulty. He looked at Orochimaru's receding back. Suddenly, a hand made a thunderous sound and then rushed forward.

Orochimaru seemed unaware, and only dodged slightly to the side when the thunder approached and passed closely by Kakashi.

His face grew paler. After all, the people who came were the elite members of the Anbu. After several waves of attacks, he was already injured and bleeding continuously.

He had no choice but to cover his wound and look at the young man who was blocking him. Kakashi breathed slightly, the lightning in his hand became brighter and the sound became more shrill, and he rushed towards Orochimaru again.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly with a cold light in them. He jumped up and swung the kunai in his hand straight down. While dodging the Raikiri, he instantly cut off Kakashi's mask, revealing the three-magatama Sharingan.

Licking~
Orochimaru, who originally had a gloomy expression, subconsciously looked away after seeing this eye, but then he reacted and an uncontrollable greed instantly appeared in his eyes.

He stepped forward step by step, his greedy gaze and terrifying aura made Kakashi's forehead sweat and his pupils tremble.

"Nice eyes, keep them well~"

Orochimaru sighed softly, and several figures flashed through his mind as he looked at the young man in front of him. In the end, he did not take action, but instead walked past Kakashi and disappeared into the forest.

It wasn't until Orochimaru left that Kakashi felt relieved and sat on the ground relaxed.

He hadn't rested for a few minutes when he noticed several people passing over his head and heading in the direction Orochimaru left.

Kakashi looked stunned, he didn't see clearly who was going by, he just thought it was a new batch of Anbu pursuers, so he had to stand up and move the other teammates under a tree, ready to go to support.

"Kakashi?"

At this moment, several people came from the direction of Konoha. Kakashi looked back and saw that they were wearing various masks and uniform clothes. They were his colleagues in the Anbu.

"Hmm? Who was that person who just passed by?"

"Uchiha Shisui!"

At the same time, Orochimaru, who was fleeing, had an extremely interesting expression on his face. He looked back while running.

"Why is it them!"

He thought that there would be other pursuers, and even that the Third Generation would come after him personally, but he never thought that the Uchiha people would be involved.

This is the Hokage's family affair! What good can they gain from participating?
Shisui didn't care about this. They left the Anbu people behind and ran here early just to find the other party first.

"Stop him!" Shisui predicted Orochimaru's actions, threw out several shurikens and ordered the two men.

Hui and Daohuo immediately understood and went around from the left and right sides.

Orochimaru's face changed, and he covered his wound and sped up, but was blocked several times by Shisui's superb shuriken technique, and he almost got new injuries. He was forced to slow down, and was soon blocked by three people.

"Haha, Shisui-kun, nice to see you again."

Orochimaru did not panic, but spoke very calmly, but he consciously avoided the eyes of the three people.

Shisui did not respond immediately, but instead formed seals with the other two: Wu - Wei - Si - Yin.

"Three Lights Formation!"

After the three of them formed the Yin Seal at the same time, three beams of green light burst out of their bodies and then intertwined together, turning into a hemisphere that enveloped the four of them and isolated them from the outside world.

After the formation was formed, Hui and Daohuo looked at each other, then quickly left the formation and hid in the distance, keeping watch in secret.

Inside the barrier, Orochimaru looked at this formation with great interest, and sighed again: "As expected of a thousand-year-old ninja clan, their background is unimaginable~"

Then a greedy thought arose in his mind. If he could obtain the Uchiha clan's background, it might be of great help to his research.

"Lord Orochimaru, let's talk about this later. I have a lot of questions that I hope you can answer."

Shisui kept the important matter in mind, and the magatama in his eyes slowly turned into shurikens.

"Quack~"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no movement, and dozens of crows surrounded the confused Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Shisui's words. He could only pay attention to Shisui's position while being careful of the crows around him.

Seeing how cautious he was, Shisui whispered, "Lord Orochimaru, this is meaningless. My illusions don't have to be activated with my eyes."

"what?"

Orochimaru paused and looked up suddenly. Several crows flew past him, and his pupils like shurikens were reflected in the eyes of these crows.

The sky then turned red.

"Oops!"

The moonlight was cold and the east wind was howling. Hui and Daohuo only stayed in the distance for a moment before the formation was lifted in front of their surprised eyes.

The moment the formation was lifted, Orochimaru ran away without hesitation.

"This"

Hui scratched his head, somewhat curious about what the two were talking about inside, but now was obviously not the time for small talk.

"Help him clear the traces, and let's take another route."

Shisui covered his eyes and looked back, noticing someone approaching in the distance, and whispered an order.

"Yes!"

The two men responded and started separately. After finishing the task, they headed in another direction and returned empty-handed at dawn.

On the way back, the three met a ninja wearing a monkey mask. The boy had a short brown haircut, and the familiar cold aura made Shisui understand the other party's identity.

"The roots?"

However, he did not pay much attention to it and quickly returned to Konoha with the two of them. When they returned to Konoha, the news of Orochimaru's defection had spread throughout the village.

The three generations seemed to have aged twenty years overnight, with their bodies hunched over and no one knew what they were thinking about.

Of the three original assistants in the office, only Danzo is still here, but there is one more person, Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"We are sorry, Lord Orochimaru is very experienced and we are unable to track him accurately." Shisui lowered his head and reported the results.

After hearing the result, Danzo leaned back slightly, then closed his eyes and ignored the Hades.

The third generation sighed and did not pursue the matter. He just covered his forehead with his hands, feeling confused.

Why did the three disciples leave him?
But he was only slightly confused. The Third Generation quickly adjusted his mindset and instructed Shinnosuke: "Issue a bounty mission, hunt down Orochimaru, and bring him back."

Orochimaru knows so many secrets of Konoha, and he must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Yes!"

After that, he looked at Shisui again and said with a slightly gentler expression: "You should go back and rest first. The stability of the village depends on you recently."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Shisui agreed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the Sandai and seemed to be about to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Please take care of yourself, Sandai-sama."

The third generation was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Don't worry."

The simple conversation between the two made Danzo frown slightly. He opened his eyes and looked at Shisui's departing back, feeling displeased.

Shisui ignored him and quickly walked towards the clan's territory after leaving the Hokage building.

"Lord Orochimaru actually defected. Didn't they say that the Anbu had already captured him? How could he escape from the village?"

"Who knows? I heard that even the Third-sama couldn't stop Orochimaru. He is the last Sannin in the village."

"Even the Hokage couldn't stop him. What if such a traitor defected to the enemy country?"

"After all, he is the disciple of the Third Generation Master, so this shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Impossible, this must be a misunderstanding. How could Lord Orochimaru betray the village?"

Listening to the villagers' discussion, Shisui understood that Orochimaru's departure meant more than just the loss of a high-level combat force for Konoha; the real turmoil had just begun.
