I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 6 For the Uchiha! I'm sorry, Elder!

Orochimaru, still wearing the green vest uniform of a Konoha Jonin, with long black hair, long golden pupils, purple eyeshadow extending to his nose, and pale skin, looked at the two Uchiha clan members with interest. He licked his lips and said in his hoarse yet magnetic voice, "I have received the Uchiha's good intentions. Someone will make arrangements for you after you go down."

Uchiha Yoru looked at Orochimaru in front of him. The other man never cared about the opinions of outsiders. If human research could be explained as being for the sake of strength or for hobbies, then the fact that he could later turn around and do it to a woman as if nothing had happened shows that he really has a broad mind.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui immediately smiled, as if the Uchiha's intentions had been perfectly delivered and his mission was complete. He then respectfully nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."

As Shisui respectfully nodded and prepared to leave, he noticed that Uchiha Yoru remained motionless. Just as he was about to take Yoru with him, Yoru gave him a look, and in the end, he left first with some suspicion.

At this moment, only Uchiha Yoru remained in the tent. Orochimaru then let out a hoarse laugh, the sound perhaps caused by the constant swallowing and spitting of snakes from his throat.

"Hehe, is there anything else, Lord Ye?"

It must be said that Orochimaru was extremely polite. Although Uchiha Yoru knew the course of history, he had lived in this world for so many years and knew that his strength was only that of a Chunin, and he couldn't change anything at all. Now, he could only strengthen himself first and try his best to win back the brains of the two traitors from the Uchiha clan.

"My lord, Uchiha Yoru is acting on the orders of the elders."

This one sentence directly revealed his stance. Uchiha Shisui had just spoken on behalf of the entire Uchiha clan's show of goodwill, so now he was acting on the orders of the elders.

"After the Nine-Tails' attack, the Third Hokage returned to power to stabilize Konoha. Lord Orochimaru is the Fifth Hokage, a position that is widely respected."

As he said this, Uchiha Yoru looked at the big boss from the early stages of the story with a respectful expression. The other party's wicked smile was always so calm, exuding a unique personal charm.

Orochimaru was now observing the Uchiha Chunin before him with great interest, or perhaps he was more interested in hearing the purpose of this Uchiha elder's visit, as it was quite intriguing.

"Lord Orochimaru is in his prime, which is now hindering those who are spying on him. If he were to become the Fifth Hokage, those who are spying on him would surely have no hope of becoming Hokage. Moreover, the Sarutobi clan does not want the Third Hokage to abdicate again, and neither do the village's higher-ups."

After saying this, Uchiha Yoru looked at the legendary ninja Orochimaru with a respectful expression. Orochimaru was initially surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face. He even licked his lips and let out his unique, hoarse laugh.

"Interesting, very interesting. I never expected that Night Lord is not only a genius of the Uchiha clan, but also a confidant of the elders."

At the age of fourteen, a Chunin, and having just awakened his one-tomoe Sharingan, he was a genius, but in Orochimaru's eyes, he was just an ordinary genius. However, he managed to catch the eye of the elder Uchiha, which immediately piqued Orochimaru's interest.

A fourteen-year-old Chunin is quite good, especially considering he awakened a bloodline limit; his future is promising. Sarutobi Asuma became a Chunin at twelve, Yuhi Kurenai at thirteen, and Anko at twelve. (Based on records)

Seeing that Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, was not interested in the information he provided, but instead showed interest in him, Uchiha Yoru felt a chill run down his spine. Damn it, please don't let this happen.

"Because of this face!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru hurriedly explained, not wanting to cause any misunderstandings, as it would be too late if something really happened.

Face? Orochimaru, though a genius, was still somewhat puzzled when he suddenly heard this, while Uchiha Yoru nodded with a feigned friendly smile and said, "It's because of Lord Orochimaru's disciple, Anko. Anko and I are in the same class."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's interested expression froze. It wasn't that he wasn't smart enough, but he simply couldn't grasp the meaning in time. His interest waned, and he let out a bored and even slightly disdainful laugh.

The methods of the Konoha clans are well-known; after all, they are adept at such manipulations. Ninjas are all about deception, and naturally, handsome looks can be used to deceive some people, especially female ninjas. Seduction is not uncommon, in fact, quite a few. Some do it to complete missions, some for espionage, and some for political marriages—in short, it's all for profit.

Seeing that Orochimaru seemed to have lost interest, Uchiha Yoru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you lose interest in my body, that's fine. But I really can't lose interest in him. Although it's a bit of a contradiction, I really need some information to make a profit for myself. In my heart, I also secretly apologized to the elder.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

At this point, Uchiha Yoru's face turned serious, and a Sharingan with a tomoe appeared in his eyes. He glanced around and saw Orochimaru, whose interest was piqued once again. He licked his lips and chuckled hoarsely, "Yoru-kun is indeed a cautious person. Don't worry, there's no one here, not even my people."

As the frontline commander, Orochimaru naturally had subordinates. In particular, as a strong contender for the Fourth Hokage, he had a group of loyal followers in the village, including many sensory ninjas.

Uchiha Yoru secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Orochimaru's words. This time, he was about to drop a bombshell, and he had to do two things: first, let Orochimaru know that he was a trusted confidant of the Uchiha elder; and second, leverage the Uchiha clan's intelligence capabilities.

"Human experimentation!"

After uttering those four words, Uchiha Yoru fell silent, and a sense of oppression filled the air.

After a long while, Orochimaru's hoarse laughter came from inside the tent, which was filled with an air of indifference, as if he had never cared about the panic of being discovered.

"Wood Release!"

As soon as those two words were uttered, Orochimaru's pale golden pupils suddenly contracted, and a fleeting killing intent flashed in the air, instantly causing Uchiha Yoru to break out in a cold sweat, his hair standing on end.

"Heh, it seems the Uchiha behind Night Lord knows a lot."

At this moment, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, secretly analyzing the situation. "Impossible," he thought. "Human experiments might be hard to escape the eyes of those who are interested, but only Danzo and I know about Wood Release in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, along with some members of Root. I never thought about Root, after all, Danzo's methods are not to be underestimated."

Given Danzo's hatred for the Uchiha, it was impossible for him to reveal this. So there was only one possibility: the Uchiha's intelligence capabilities far exceeded his imagination. Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and he became even more interested.

Guess what benefits you'll use to entice Snake and catch his eye?
