Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

"Since the Hokage has said so, I can only agree."

Hiruzen Sarutobi curled his lip, realizing that his "retreat to advance" tactic hadn't worked, and could only willingly accept the task.

Who told him to be the Third Hokage?

In the village, no one was more suitable to take the lead than him in terms of prestige and seniority.

Moreover, this is the first time that the Land of Snow has been incorporated into Konoha's vassal state, and it is believed that it will bring a large amount of resources to Konoha in the near future.

Thinking about it this way...

His trip was quite effective, even for an old man like him.

In the blink of an eye, Hiruzen Sarutobi got up to take his leave.

He genuinely didn't want to get involved in the affairs of young people anymore; he just wanted to live a peaceful and quiet old age.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Orochimaru's smile remained, but his gaze gradually sharpened as he began to methodically give instructions on the follow-up matters.

He even used Shimura Danzo, with whom he had always been at odds: "Lord Danzo, please make a trip to Amegakure to discuss the follow-up matters with the Akatsuki."

Danzo Shimura agreed with exceptional ease.

His Root organization has long since been reorganized and has become Konoha's Second Anbu.

Orochimaru even made a private agreement with him that if he could win the support of most of the Jonin in the village, he would pass the Hokage position to him after Orochimaru had served three years.

Although he knew this might be a pie in the sky lurking in the sky by Orochimaru, Danzo Shimura had no other choice at the moment.

He could only hope that Orochimaru would keep his promise; otherwise...

All his life's efforts and endeavors ultimately came to naught, like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket.

Next, Orochimaru's gaze fell on Nara Shikaku and Uchiha Fugaku.

One is a top strategist in Konoha, and the other is the head of the Uchiha clan; they are both outstanding combatants.

These two men were crucial to Orochimaru, the Hokage.

"Shikaku, come to the lab later."

Orochimaru's tone was flat, revealing no specific intention.

Then.

He looked at Uchiha Fugaku, his smile deepening: "As for Lord Fugaku, I'll trouble you to cooperate a bit more and release the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

I need to continue observing the Uchiha clan's physique and the Yin Release chakra within their eye organs to see if I can make further improvements.

For example, upgrading the Mangekyou Sharingan, which causes blindness due to overuse, into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, a state of perpetual blindness.

As Orochimaru spoke, he slowly put on a pair of transparent silver-rimmed glasses.

His gaze behind the glasses was as sharp as an eagle's, and coupled with his smooth black hair and warm, sun-like smile, he didn't look like a Hokage holding power at all, but rather more like a scholar engrossed in research.

Everyone had long been used to this.

Orochimaru usually uses shadow clones to handle the daily affairs of the Hokage's office building.

His main body, and most of his shadow clones, spend most of their time in the laboratory.

It was precisely for this reason that Shimura Danzo was willing to temporarily obey his orders; thus, the power of the Konoha leadership was able to be transferred almost unscathed from the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, to Orochimaru.

Such a smooth transfer of power is a miracle in the history of the ninja world.

"Understood, Hokage-sama."

A hint of interest flashed in Nara Shikaku's eyes as he answered.

Fugaku Uchiha gave a wry smile and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his eyes.

this time.

His Mangekyou Sharingan has been "borrowed" by Orochimaru, the Hokage, for research countless times.

At the beginning, Fugaku Uchiha admitted it.

He did have some worries and fears.

Fearing that Orochimaru might change his mind and not return the Mangekyou Sharingan to him.

However, after Uchiha Shisui handed over his awakened Mangekyou Sharingan for research, his eye power was significantly enhanced.

He then tried to "trade" his eyes over.

As it turns out, this move was the right one.

His control over the Mangekyou Sharingan has now reached a whole new level, and his original Kage-level strength has become even more stable.

The higher the compatibility between the Mangekyou Sharingan's skills and one's own combat experience, the stronger the ninja's combat power will naturally be. This is almost an irrefutable truth in the ninja world.

In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at the old root base.

At this point, apart from the various and more sophisticated barriers that far surpassed those of the past, almost everything in sight at the base of the tree was made of instruments.

Large, sophisticated instruments are arranged in a staggered pattern, and scholars from all over the world move among them.

Konoha showed full respect for the knowledge of these scholars, especially when that knowledge could be transformed into real ninja combat power and become a force to be reckoned with. The ninjas of Konoha welcomed their arrival with the utmost respect.

Fugaku Uchiha was already very familiar with this.

He skillfully put on sterile gloves and then, in a scientific sampling manner, steadily placed his Mangekyou Sharingan into a test tube filled with formalin.

After doing all this.

He closed his eyes and sat down on the testing equipment next to him.

The next thing to observe is what happens after losing the Mangekyou Sharingan.

How will his physical condition change, and how much will the change be?

This data is crucial to Orochimaru's research.

Fugaku Uchiha was extremely cooperative, but only once in a row.

He felt something was off.

If it weren't for the village's well-established mental health support system and the Uchiha clan's increasingly stable position in Konoha, even he himself wouldn't dare to predict what would happen next.

"very good."

Orochimaru's shadow clone approached the instrument, his eyes fixed on the data flashing on the screen. His tone was meticulous and rigorous, typical of a researcher: "The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan has increased to another level."

However, Lord Fugaku, you should use the Mangekyou Sharingan more precisely next time; excessive use will accelerate the decline of your eye power.

Knowing that the other party meant well, Fugaku Uchiha quickly showed a grateful expression: "Thank you for reminding me. I understand and will definitely follow your advice in the future."

This testing and debugging lasted for more than two hours.

As dusk approached, the Mangekyou Sharingan was reinstalled into Fugaku Uchiha's eye socket.

It can only be said that the physical adaptability and chakra compatibility of ninjas are simply too powerful.

For an ordinary person, the rejection reaction alone would be fatal, let alone the repeated removal of the eyeball.

For ordinary people, every time they do something like this, they are pushing their lifespan to its limit.

However, for ninjas, especially the stronger ones, such actions are commonplace due to their robust physical abilities, and they hardly have any negative effects.

This is enough to show just how "abnormal" each of these ninjas in the ninja world is, far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
