Born with a great love for the Uchiha

"How could the Shimura family be so wicked!"

"Wait a minute! The 'deserter' mentioned in yesterday's newspaper, could it be Shimura Danzo?!"

As time goes by.

The two newspapers of Da Ai Daily were combined.

The villagers and ninjas of Konoha almost instantly identified the true identity of the "deserter who betrayed the Second Hokage" mentioned in yesterday's news.

Deserter! Danzo Shimura! Step forward!

……

"Good! Good! Good!"

root base.

Danzo Shimura stared at the newspaper in his hand, his face ashen.

I never expected this.

He hadn't even had a chance to retaliate.

Uchiha Gen's second attack is coming!

Even though his name, Shimura Danzo, wasn't mentioned at all in today's newspapers.

But between the lines, there wasn't a single word that didn't belittle the Shimura clan and mock Shimura Danzo!

boom!

A loud roar followed.

Danzo Shimura slapped the desk in front of him once again, shattering it into a pile of wood chips.

"Someone come here!"

"Shimura Danzo roared."

"Begin the operation!"

In the midst of Shimura Danzo's overwhelming rage.

The massive machine of the root organization began to operate at breakneck speed.

A seemingly ordinary request appeared in the mission hall of the Hokage Building.

Mission Assignment: Escort a caravan to the Land of Fields.

Task level: B.

Reward for the mission: 200,000 taels of silver.

Mission Description: The caravan route passes through the war zone between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth. A Konoha Jonin is needed to ensure the safety of the trade. Elite ninjas with pure bloodlines such as Senju, Hyuga, and Uchiha are preferred.

Country of Fields.

A secret underground base, a dark laboratory.

The cold, damp air was filled with the pungent smell of medicine, and the stark, glaring lights made people feel uncomfortable.

"What a perfect body..."

Orochimaru stuck out his long, thin tongue and gently licked the corner of his mouth.

In front of him, on a cold, metallic experimental table, sat a child who looked about five or six years old.

He has short white hair, green eyes, and a pair of signature bean-shaped eyebrows.

The most standard Kaguya clan appearance!

Kimimaro.

Kaguya Kimimaro.

"Kaguya's bloodline limit, Shikotsumyaku."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and magnetic, like a venomous snake about to savor its meal.

"It can freely manipulate osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and even control calcium concentration to form the bloodline limit of bone."

"A ninja's body is truly amazing..."

Kaguya Kimimaro stared blankly at the laboratory ceiling, her eyes vacant and numb, as Orochimaru examined her body.

Ever since the Kaguya clan was wiped out.

Kimimaro then completely lost the meaning of life.

Orochimaru gave him a reason to continue existing at that time—

Life has no inherent meaning.

'But if you survive, you might find something interesting.'

'It's like you found that flower, just as I found you.'

then.

Kimimaro then followed Orochimaru, leaving the Land of Water and arriving at this secret base in the Land of Rice Fields.

Orochimaru is currently researching his bloodline limit—Shikotsumyaku.

Kimimaro was too young to understand Orochimaru's research.

But this did not prevent him from admiring and longing for Orochimaru.

While Orochimaru continued his research...

A dark figure emerged from the shadows of the cave.

"Lord Orochimaru."

The dark figure knelt on one knee, his attitude extremely respectful.

"News has come from Konoha."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru didn't turn his head, his slender fingers gently stroking Kimimaro's ribs like a snake's tail.

"Is it my dear teacher? Or is that old bastard Shimura Danzo up to something again?"

"A Root ninja has delivered some intelligence data."

The shadowy figure raised both hands and presented a scroll of documents.

"Information regarding a ninja named 'Uchiha Gen'."

Uchiha?

The surname caused Orochimaru to pause slightly.

He turned around, took the scroll, unfolded it, and began to browse. A playful look slowly appeared in his snake eyes.

"Uchiha Gen, 13 years old, lives in the commercial district of the new Uchiha clan's territory. He is extremely fast, especially skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu, and has awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. He is estimated to be at the level of an elite Jonin..."

Orochimaru read the contents of the scroll in a low voice, his voice growing softer and softer, but his interest in his eyes growing stronger.

"...He once fought to a draw with Uchiha Shisui... Hehehe!"

Orochimaru's deep laughter echoed through the cave.

"Another child prodigy has emerged in Konoha!"

As Orochimaru looked at the information on the intelligence scroll, a figure subconsciously appeared in his mind.

The same kind of prodigy.

He also possesses the Sharingan.

Also skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu—

Kakashi Hatake!

I don't know why.

Orochimaru suddenly recalled the scene when he left Konoha.

Kakashi Hatake, who was an ANBU ninja at the time, was even in charge of capturing him...

Unfortunately.

There is no going back.

"Shimura Danzo wants me to make a move?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, a look of disdain flashing in his snake eyes.

"This old man, he's really gotten worse with age! He can't even handle a child!"

The scroll was delivered by the Root ninjas.

It was less of an intelligence report and more of an assassination commission.

Although no detailed explanation is given between the lines.

However, the fact that Shimura Danzo presented such detailed intelligence information is enough to explain the matter!

honestly.

Orochimaru currently has little interest in the Sharingan.

In previous ninja wars, Orochimaru had fought alongside elite Jonin of the Uchiha clan.

Just like Uchiha Fugaku.

Orochimaru had also witnessed firsthand the power of the three-tomoe Sharingan of the current Uchiha clan patriarch on the battlefield.

Say something.
