I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 52 Kabuto the Pharmacist

As the most outstanding spy, Yakushi Nonou had naturally discovered the people secretly eavesdropping outside long ago, but she remained calm, or rather, she preferred to expose everything about the orphanage to Konoha's nose, since the struggles above were never something she could participate in.

"That child's name is Yakushi Kabuto. He also came from this orphanage. The director should know him well. By the way, this child comes from the Root."

Kabuto Yakushi is only thirteen years old now. Although he is already an excellent spy, his expression suddenly changed when he was discovered.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

The children around them naturally noticed that the ninja older brother they were playing with looked a little unwell. The innocent children asked what was on their minds, and Kabuto Yakushi quickly regained his composure and showed his kind smile. After adjusting his glasses, he smiled at the children and said, "It's okay. Come on, let me tell you some stories about ninjas."

While Kabuto Yakushi appeared to be playing happily with the children, his heart was in turmoil. Uchiha Yoru had already discovered his identity. When was he exposed?

Dean! Will the Dean be alright?

At this moment, Kabuto's mind was in turmoil, and Nono Yakushi in the office also showed a hint of panic. The so-called most powerful spy in Konoha was in disarray.

The surname "Yakushi" combined with the given name "Kabuto" reminded her of something unpleasant. She glanced through the window and immediately took a deep breath, regaining her composure.

In the blink of an eye, Konoha's best spy had analyzed everything. The photos of Kabuto that Root had sent her flashed through her mind. His appearance was gradually becoming more mature and rugged, while the child outside was more delicate and gentle.

She immediately thought of a certain possibility. Although she felt disgusted by the roots, she felt even more powerless.

Uchiha Yoru, however, seemed to thoroughly enjoy taking a sip of his hot tea, the smile on his lips suggesting he was basking in the power he wielded.

After a long while, Uchiha Yoru finally put down his empty teacup. Looking at Yakushi Nono, who was about to refill his teacup, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "From now on, Yakushi Kabuto's team will be responsible for liaison between the police department and the orphanage. Supplies will be delivered every month."

"Understood, thank you, sir." Yakushi Nonou showed a respectful expression to the Uchiha who was younger than her and weaker than her.

This is the benefit of power. As long as you're in this circle, the weaknesses that power can exploit will require you to follow the rules.

"The news will soon reach Danzo's ears. Orochimaru's teacher's intention is simple: neither side will act rashly, and the orphanage will be safe and will not be dragged into it."

After standing up, Uchiha Yoru smiled easily and said that he could not hide his arrival from the village's Anbu and Root. Given his status, no one would believe that he had come in person unless there was something else going on.

Therefore, his stated purpose in coming here was to spread the fame of the Sannin through the children in the orphanage, making Orochimaru's name active again in the school and streets. He was not afraid of what the village would say, since everyone would think that Orochimaru had begun to fight back.

"Hehe, the dean's tea is very well brewed. Let's keep in touch."

He stood up, smiled, and patted the legendary female ninja on the shoulder. He nodded with a smile, and Yakushi Nonou also nodded with a smile in response, saying, "You're too kind, sir."

The two seemed to be having a normal conversation, but there was something strange about it.

Beneath Yakushi Nono's smile lay a bitter taste. She knew the other party was trying to win her over. They were Orochimaru's disciple, and they had her weakness in their grasp. More importantly, their intentions were clear: they wanted her to act as a double agent.

She is from Root. Danzo will definitely contact her after today. Root wants to know about her, and she also wants to know about Root.

"Sir, I'd like to entrust the orphanage to your care from now on."

In a short moment, Yakushi Nonou secretly made up her mind. Now, Orochimaru had a good chance of becoming the Fifth Hokage. She dared not say it was 100%, but she was definitely 70% or 80% sure. She also knew that if she won the gamble, the orphanage would be in the Hokage's lap, and she would no longer have to worry about the orphanage's supplies.

Therefore, this request for her care was her way of expressing her stance. Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Dean, you're too kind. It's all for the sake of the village."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru sneered inwardly, "Danzo, you old scoundrel, I'll plant a double agent in your Root organization first, and use their own methods against them."

Yakushi Nono? Heh, that's just the one on the surface. Everyone's focus will probably forget about one person, someone who is currently unknown.

……

After leaving the orphanage and returning to the police station, Kabuto respectfully reported the information he had recorded at the orphanage.

"Sir, the orphanage currently has 238 orphans, 13 of whom can refine chakra. There is also a director and a vice director..."

Back in his office, Uchiha Yoru listened to the brief report with narrowed eyes, while also scrutinizing the ordinary-looking Kabuto. No one could have imagined how great this boy with no bloodline limit would become in the future.

"Kabuto, the village suffered heavy losses after the Third Shinobi World War and the Nine-Tails Night. As a result, we are powerless to help with the orphanage. These supplies were barely squeezed out of the police department. Sigh."

Looking at the boy before him with a half-smile, Kabuto Yakushi cleverly smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, sir, Kabuto is your subordinate."

Can you believe that? Uchiha Yoru shook his head with a smile. He didn't believe it, but he did believe Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto's current weakness is the director of the orphanage, and the director's weakness is the children in the orphanage and Kabuto himself.

This is a sick world. The power of ninjas is immense, which has led to countless tragedies in the ninja world.

Kabuto tapped the table lightly a few times. He had deliberately shown the cursed seal on his tongue when he spoke. Uchiha Yoru nodded slightly. "Kabuto, you come from an ordinary background, but your talent in medical ninjutsu is extraordinary. Study medical ninjutsu well."

"Yes, sir!"

Although Kabuto Yakushi was relaxed, his entire back was covered in a layer of cold sweat. He had been exposed! But for the sake of the Dean, he had no choice but to expose himself, even becoming the other side's spy.

A double agent! He's the real trump card; the dean is just the figurehead.

Watching Kabuto Yakushi leave the office after giving a normal report, Yoru Uchiha secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really needed Kabuto Yakushi.

One is that the other party can give him an extra pair of eyes in the Root, and the other is the other party's talent in medical ninjutsu. Since Yamato's Wood Release was created artificially, then naturally other bloodline limits can be created as well. Bloodline limits within the system are too expensive. Perhaps there are some problems with artificial ones, but by combining the two, all problems can be solved.

Finally, this can be considered a way to resolve a tragedy in this morbid world.
