I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 14 Shisui! I did all this for the Uchiha!

Orochimaru's unique hoarse laughter echoed within the tent. To Uchiha Yoru's ears, this laughter was not sinister or terrifying at all, but rather pleasant to the ear.

vomit~

Immediately afterwards, the sound of gagging echoed in the tent. Orochimaru spat out a snake covered in saliva from his mouth, and then the snake gaggled out a wet, sticky scroll covered in saliva.

Upon seeing the scroll, Uchiha Yoru's face flushed slightly, revealing a hint of excitement. In contrast, Orochimaru, after retracting his long snake, licked his lips and chuckled, "Yoru, your teacher has high hopes for your talent."

The scroll unfurled, revealing names one by one. He saw Orochimaru's name, and the last name was Mitarashi Anko.

The spirit beast scroll of Ryuchi Cave!

At that moment, Uchiha Yoru took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and respectfully said, "Yes! Orochimaru-sensei, Uchiha Yoru will not let you down."

Or rather, the Uchiha clan will not be disappointed, since the relationship between the two sides is more of a political one.

For Orochimaru, the financial support provided by Konoha's top powerhouse was like a godsend, allowing his research lab, which had been operating slowly due to funding issues, to resume normal operations.

The "teacher" that Uchiha Yoru used to refer to had a different meaning. Before, the "teacher" was because Orochimaru was the team leader when he was in a team with Anko, and since he wanted to curry favor with him, he naturally started calling him "teacher."

But this time, the teacher and student are in a master-disciple relationship, a master-disciple relationship based on political interests. Before Orochimaru defected, if you wanted to thrive in Konoha, you needed political skills.

Orochimaru cut his finger with a kunai and wrote his name on the summoning scroll, then stamped it with his handprint, which immediately made Orochimaru smile.

"Night, it seems you're quite clever; you know how to utilize your strengths."

Orochimaru's wise eyes seemed to hold a profound understanding of everything, while Uchiha Yoru raised his head without concealing his true feelings, respectfully smiling and saying, "Orochimaru-sensei, isn't the Uchiha clan's willingness to provide all logistical support the most important thing?"

The meaning is clear: Orochimaru-sensei, what you urgently need right now is a large amount of funding for research. Does it matter who it is?

Even if Orochimaru already knew some of the details, you got what you needed, and the rest is simply a matter for the Uchiha clan.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru smiled. He was very curious about his disciple's abilities, not only because of his talent in ninjutsu, but also because of his mind. It seemed that he no longer had the mind of a simple ninja, but rather the political mind of a powerful clan.

"Then, will my disciple, the elite Uchiha troops at the front, obey your commands or orders?"

For Orochimaru, who he is is not important; what matters is the benefits he needs.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru was secretly startled. As expected, Orochimaru had already obtained some information. For example, in addition to this large amount of financial support, there was another task given by the clan: to do everything possible to assist the Uchiha clan's genius, Uchiha Itachi, in becoming Orochimaru's disciple.

Not bad! Uchiha Yoru used his clan's resources to pave the way for himself.

"Rest assured, Orochimaru-sensei, the Uchiha clan is ready to obey your commands!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru respectfully expressed his and his clan's loyalty, secretly thinking to himself that as long as someone from the Uchiha clan became Orochimaru's disciple, it didn't really matter who it was.

The die is cast; there's no hope for the five-year-old Itachi Uchiha.

In the original story, the Uchiha clan couldn't establish a connection with Orochimaru, so they couldn't achieve their current cooperative relationship. This time, he managed to make contact by using his knowledge of the Wood Release ninja Yamato. Although it's a bit of a stretch, that's no longer important. What matters is that he succeeded.

Looking at Uchiha Yoru, Orochimaru chuckled hoarsely. He didn't want to concern himself with the intrigues and power struggles within the large clans; he was content with what he had.

"Hehe, I'll leave the research data on this scroll to the Uchiha elites. Remember to visit Anko when you get back. Anko will teach you some snake-style ninjutsu."

At that moment, Orochimaru casually handed over a scroll. Uchiha Yoru smiled as soon as he received it. He had succeeded! Now he could be considered a true disciple of Orochimaru, and he could even take advantage of his own clan.

"Don't worry, Orochimaru-sensei, I'll go and inform Shisui right away."

After saying this, Uchiha Yoru excitedly took his leave. Orochimaru was not yet obsessed with the Sharingan; he was only interested in immortality, so he was still safe.

More importantly, he only has one tomoe. If he were to be a research subject for the Uchiha clan, he would need three tomoe, not to mention his value.

As can be seen in the original work, although Orochimaru was the big boss in the early stages, his personal charm and magnanimity showed that as long as you have value, it doesn't matter if you have flaws. He was very tolerant.

The most typical example is Uchiha Sasuke, who was very impolite in his words, but Orochimaru was not angry. As long as you still have value, then nothing else matters.

His successful entry into Orochimaru's tutelage is due to two factors: the Uchiha clan's allegiance and his own talent, even though it was temporarily acquired through in-game purchases. But who else knows that?

When they returned to the Uchiha camp, Shisui was still there.

"Brother Ye."

When Shisui saw the person who had arrived, he immediately smiled. Although he was stronger than Uchiha Yoru in terms of strength, he was far inferior in other aspects, especially in terms of the future of the Uchiha clan. He was lost and confused, but he finally saw the beam of light of the beacon.

Uchiha Yoru walked in with a hesitant and troubled expression on his face. Then, he gestured around with his eyes, and sure enough, Uchiha Shisui said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be on guard in secret."

Sure enough, a slight rustling sound came from the grass around the camp. The Uchiha clan's situation was awkward, and it had now affected the front line, as could be seen from the somewhat isolated location of the camp.

The Uchiha clan was isolated.

"Brother Ye, the surrounding area is already secured, and there's even a protective barrier in place, so everything will be fine."

Seeing that everything was arranged, Shisui frowned and looked at Uchiha Yoru with a suspicious expression. "Brother Yoru, what's wrong?"

Uchiha Yoru gave a wry smile, shook his head, and sighed, "Shisui, the clan's mission is to wait for the clan head's son, Uchiha Itachi, to arrive. With Itachi's talent and my secret probing, we can see if he can become Orochimaru's disciple."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoru's words, Shisui frowned. He naturally knew about this, but why bring it up at this moment? Could it be that...?

"Brother Ye, have you encountered some kind of problem?"

At this moment, the honest Uchiha Shisui was filled with worry. After all, the Uchiha clan was in a very difficult situation. They had finally managed to get in touch with the future Fifth Hokage, and they absolutely could not give up.

Seeing Shisui's worried face, Uchiha Yoru sighed inwardly, "Shisui, I'm doing this all for the clan, for the Uchiha."

I've signed a contract, and starting today I'll be updating twice a day. Please support me!
