Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

Kakashi suddenly retreated several meters away, holding a short sword and watching the suddenly appearing figure warily. He gripped the white short sword with both hands and pressed down hard on his trembling palms.

That's some real strength.

That face looks so familiar.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?

青？

It seems to be that Uchiha brat who used to be by Obito's side...

"Teacher...you go first!"

Uchiha Ao stood in front of Orochimaru, his eyes warily fixed on Hatake Kakashi not far away.

This teacher really loves to act.

He had clearly given warnings; given Orochimaru's cunning nature, he must have made thorough preparations.

However, he still sent a message to Mizuki-hime in Ryūchi-dō, asking her to come and provide support.

Isn't this just to test him again?

Qingming knew this, but he still came. Since the teacher liked it, he would cooperate with his performance.

Ao looked towards the shadowy area in the distance, his sparse white hair and single Sharingan eye...

Kakashi!

I never expected to meet in this way.

This genius ninja has always stood in the way of a generation of people in Konoha.

I never imagined I'd actually have to fight him one day.

Kakashi is a bit better than him.

But they can be considered ninjas of the same generation.

However, Kakashi was already a Jonin at his age, and now he is the captain of the Anbu, an elite among elites.

A genius admired by his peers.

Feeling the remnants of his past life's memories and experiencing the burning passion within, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

However, just as the two were facing off, an unexpected incident occurred.

Kakashi watched the two of them warily, not daring to relax his guard in the slightest.

"Qing, your coming to help despite the danger is truly touching!"

Orochimaru clutched his chest, speaking with deep emotion.

Before Uchiha Ao could reply.

His expression suddenly turned cold, and he pinched his thumb and forefinger together with his right hand, bringing it close to Uchiha Ao's ear: "But—you have been able to pass every test I set perfectly, which really puzzles me."

It seems... you understand my plans very well, as if you know what I'm thinking.

"Qing...can I trust you?"

Orochimaru spoke in a cold voice, like the chilling wind of December, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Teacher, you are my guide on the path of scientific research..."

"Whatever choice I make, I will always put the teacher's interests first!"

Uchiha Ao answered without changing his expression.

Orochimaru smiled, seemingly quite satisfied with the answer, and gently patted Ao's shoulder, showing none of the dejection he had displayed when he was injured.

He suddenly put the gesture he had prepared to his lips.

Tweet!

A piercing shriek rang out!

The personnel already lying in ambush in the shadows sprang into action instantly.

While everyone was distracted, an Anbu ninja who was helping the Third Hokage took out an explosive tag, stuck it directly on his body, and immediately hugged the Third Hokage tightly.

"What are you doing!?"

"Run...!?"

Detonate!

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi smelled the strange odor of flames, he held his golden cudgel in front of his chest, his face filled with horror as he looked at his subordinate beside him. The golden cudgel instantly extended, pushing the opponent away…

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred.

Flames shot into the sky!

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound of the explosion.

"The Hokage... was killed by the explosive tags!"

A terrified voice, like that of Namiya Rai, rang out from afar.

This instantly caught Kakashi's attention.

A series of riots then broke out, with members of the secret service even fighting each other.

"Shota Sawada!"

"What are you doing!?"

"Stop! Protect the Hokage..."

Urgent voices filled the air, and the entire battlefield instantly descended into chaos.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Orochimaru grabbed Uchiha Ao's arm, leaped up, and broke out of the Anbu's encirclement.

"Lord Orochimaru! Let's go..."

Several elite ANBU Jonin shouted slogans and backstabbed their comrades before rushing towards the Third Hokage's location, sacrificing their lives to buy Orochimaru time to escape.

Ao's foresight gave Orochimaru time to prepare and notify his trusted confidants hidden in the ANBU.

Orochimaru's elite subordinates, whom he had cultivated in Konoha for many years, were all exposed at this moment.

Kakashi glanced at the chaotic battle, weighed the situation in his mind, and concluded that those few ANBU spies who were sent to their deaths should not pose a threat to the Hokage's life.

His gaze shifted, and he watched Orochimaru and Uchiha Ao's departing figures with a lingering look.

This is the best chance to capture Orochimaru.

Once Orochimaru is severely injured and escapes Konoha, it will be virtually impossible to capture him in the ninja world in the future.

"Go! Kakashi, reinforcements from the village have arrived..."

Uzuki Yugao's voice rang in Kakashi's ears, dispelling his last remaining concerns.

Then, more than ten new members of the Dark Guard arrived on the battlefield and quickly joined the battle.

The disturbance caused by a few spies won't cause much of a stir.

Seeing this, Kakashi nodded to Uzuki Yugao and chased after Orochimaru and the others in the direction they had gone.

Uchiha Ao, supporting Orochimaru, quickly headed towards the outskirts of Konoha Village.

The massive aftershocks of the battle have attracted a large number of Konoha ninja.

The longer it is delayed,

The greater the danger they encounter.

"Qing, you really didn't disappoint me..."

"But when did your chakra become so deep?"

Orochimaru said, his face pale.

He noticed that Uchiha Ao's strength had undergone another dramatic change, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Only a few days have passed.

His chakra reserves, which had just broken through to the Chunin level, were now surprisingly close to his.

At least at the level of an elite Jonin.

"Teacher, what exactly are you planning? Making such a commotion, it can't just be about leaving Konoha, can it?"

"Why did you call me over? Is it because of some research issue?"

Qing asked.

He had a vague suspicion that Orochimaru must have his eye on something in Konoha, which was why he chose to risk staying in the village.

Unlike in the original story, where he was caught off guard by the Third Hokage in the laboratory and fled in a panic without packing anything or making any arrangements, leaving all his belongings to Shimura Danzo.

During his escape, he was severely injured by the Third Hokage and had to undergo the Reanimation Jutsu prematurely, resulting in a significant decline in his strength.

This time, it seems he deliberately stayed in the village to wait for the Third Hokage, choosing Konoha as the battlefield.

"Actually, the teacher had a chance to escape when she saw me off! Why did she have to make such a scene and almost lose her life?"

Qing asked with a probing look in her eyes.

Did Orochimaru have some kind of masochistic fetish that he didn't discover?

He glanced back and saw that Kakashi Hatake had caught up.

At the same time, several squads from the Konoha Police Department noticed their movements and began to surround them.

The leader, Uchiha Inahi, had already blocked their path.

"I can't hide it from you after all, Qing!"

"I don't want to give up everything and leave like this, I'm so unwilling!"

"I've destroyed all the materials in the lab that I couldn't take with me, so that bastard Danzo won't get anything... At the same time, I'm going to take Danzo's most important treasure... as compensation for his betrayal!"

Orochimaru touched the wound on his chest and said through gritted teeth.

"Teacher...you actually have it all under your control, don't you? A wound of this severity could be easily healed with the Snake Shedding Technique, right...?"

Qing glanced at his wound and said.

"You figured it out, Qing!"

Orochimaru noticed Uchiha Ao's gaze and chuckled awkwardly, showing no embarrassment at being exposed.

Qingjun is really to his liking; she found out his inner thoughts so quickly.

He stopped pretending at this moment.

Snake molting...

Released once more, Orochimaru instantly transformed into a giant snake, and then his figure slowly crawled out of the snake's mouth. The snake's body lost its life force the moment Orochimaru detached, turning into a pile of dry snake skin that collapsed on the ground.

Orochimaru's wounds have completely healed.

Apart from being slightly pale, there was nothing unusual about her.

Ao noticed this and guessed that Orochimaru had most likely also received a First Hokage serum transplant. With his intervention, this low concentration of First Hokage cells could enhance the body's self-healing ability without side effects.

With the help of the snake-shedding technique, non-fatal wounds can heal easily.

This includes penetrating wounds to the chest.

Orochimaru was just pretending.

"My goal is the Second Hokage's laboratory under the Hokage Rock."

Orochimaru didn't hide it any longer and told the truth.

He had already prepared a full range of methods for this operation. If he couldn't defeat his teacher, he would have his trusted confidants from the secret service take action to disrupt the situation and buy some time.

You can then easily escape.

They could also take the opportunity to sneak into the forbidden area of ​​Konoha Village—a secret research institute located under the Hokage Rock, rumored to be a laboratory left behind by the Second Hokage, and take away some valuable experimental data.

It contains information about the Second Hokage's research into forbidden techniques.

It is now under Danzo's control.

To infiltrate, one must attract the attention of most of the villagers.

That's why he caused such a big commotion.

They even gave up the eyeliner hidden in the shadows.
