Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 130 The Eye of Eternity! (Part 1)

"Senior, what should we do this time?"

In the Land of Water, Haori and Shisui were strolling through it, though Shisui was still somewhat curious.

After all, fighting in this place is extremely advantageous for the Mist Ninja!

The main reason they were able to sweep through the enemy strongholds last time was that the haori (feathered garment) attracted the vast majority of attention.

He just needs to follow behind. Besides, last time they had Kakashi and Hikari-senpai with them, but this time it's just the two of them!

"I don't know for now, but let's talk about it when we get to Kirigakure."

Yuzhi gently shook his head. He could certainly sense that Shisui was a little nervous this time, but he could understand.

The Water Kingdom is isolated overseas, and a shortage of manpower can easily cause huge problems.

In addition, the Land of Water is surrounded by the sea, with abundant water vapor and dense fog all year round.

This made the Land of Water a natural home ground for the Hidden Mist ninjas, who were skilled in Water Release techniques and adept at assassination techniques.

Around the Land of Water, Hidden Mist ninjas often use the advantages of the environment to defeat strong enemies, and can even win against overwhelming odds!

The battle between Kakashi and Zabuza in the original work also reflects this point. At first, Hagoromo even wondered if Kakashi was acting.

But after fighting against Kirigakure in this world for so many years, he discovered a problem—Kakashi was probably really in trouble.

Even though Kakashi's talents were not fully realized for various reasons, there weren't many people who could reliably defeat him based on his strength at that time.

However, in the Land of Waves, a place perfectly suited to Zabuza's abilities, he almost failed miserably, which shows how much the environment can benefit Kirigakure.

Shisui was certainly not afraid of facing one or two, or even more, Kirigakure members to deal with him.

However, what they are trying to do this time is to seize the Three-Tails' chakra, and the Three-Tails is in the Mizukage's possession, which means they are going to be enemies with the entire Hidden Mist Village!

It would be strange if Zhi Shui didn't panic in this situation.

"Senior, wouldn't it be better to bring Ying-senpai along?"

Shisui was momentarily flustered by Yuzhi's words, and after a while, he cautiously asked.

"After all, there's strength in numbers. Even if we can evacuate at any time, we can still accomplish our mission more effectively, right?"

"Don't worry, I was prepared."

Yuzhi shook his head, then smiled and shook his head again before continuing.

"Our status in Konoha is unusual. No matter what kind of operation we take, we must ensure that there is a real person in the village to deal with any unforeseen needs."

This is also one of the reasons why I have never thought about directly announcing myself as the clan chief and the minister of police.

While it grants us more say and the ability to make more changes, it also restricts our freedom.

Luckily, there are three of us, so we can take turns doing many things. You need to grow up quickly!

Shisui didn't say anything more after hearing these words. Indeed, their status in Konoha was different now.

Such a prestigious identity would restrict their actions. For one thing, using their real identity elsewhere might attract unnecessary trouble.

However, Shisui suddenly thought of something—

"Could it be that you, senior, already harbored the idea of ​​creating a peaceful ninja world long ago?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Yuzhi with reverence.

What kind of look is that?

Yuzhi naturally noticed this scene, which puzzled him somewhat, but he didn't ask too many questions.

This time, the light was deliberately left behind, partly to deal with Konoha, and partly to allow Shisui to receive some training.

The Uchiha clan's three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, Haori and Hikari, have far surpassed others in terms of training and combat skills; they have even developed two bloodline limits of their own.

However, Shisui received virtually no training. Apart from fighting against the "young Nagato" and battling Danzo's "old, weak, sick, and disabled" Root members, he hadn't really trained at all.

Basically, he's always just a background character, even though he has White Zetsu cells, his performance is still worse than in the original story!

In the original story, he at least joined the Dark Division, so he could get enough experience. But now he's just a captain in the police department.

So after some discussion, Hagoromo and Hikaru decided to take Shisui with them and leave Hikaru in Konoha.

To be honest, even Yuri himself wasn't quite used to it; he was used to acting with Hikaru.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, and besides, Yuzhi had other thoughts on this matter.

"I'm just one step away from truly activating my extraordinary potential, so I absolutely cannot miss this battle!"

For the past two months, Yuzhi hasn't done much, but the accumulation of experience from previous battles and his natural improvement have made him feel more and more that he is about to reach his limit.

All he needs now is a battle of sufficient intensity. Once he has completed all of this, he believes he will finally achieve this leap forward!

"I've waited for over two years, and this time I have to succeed no matter what."

Yuzhi's gaze was incredibly firm. Although two years was not a long time, he had been very happy during those two years.

He had light, the company of various friends, and he also gained control of the Uchiha clan and completed the reform of the police department.

Now, seeing the police department gradually regain its glory and become what it truly deserves, Yuri naturally feels proud.

But to maintain all of this, to stand firmly at the pinnacle of the ninja world, to become Hokage, and to fulfill his plans in the future.

"Well then, I still have a long way to go!"

Ever since she transmigrated here, Yuzhi has been pondering a question.

That's why, apart from Madara Uchiha and the evil Senju, it seems that no one else in this world has ever thought about unifying the ninja world!

Of course, some people may have thought of it, but had to compromise because they lacked the strength.

But Haori was deeply influenced by his previous life's culture, and he never felt that such a divided state was good.

That's why he had that conversation with Hikaru, and that's why he didn't truly believe in Hashirama Senju's actions.

"That's why I need strength even more, whether it's to satisfy my inner desires or to better secure my future."

This will never change, especially since I know how to use these powers, how to enhance them, and how to acquire them.

"If I really do nothing, wouldn't I be making a huge disgrace to the transmigrators?"

Yuzhi muttered to himself, though he didn't care at all about losing face.

To be honest, he had completely lost face back in the Ninja Academy, but with the opportunity right in front of him, why wouldn't he seize it?

"Wait a minute?"

Suddenly, Yuzhi's expression turned somewhat strange.

Considering everything he had to do and what he had already done, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

"Does this count as making the Uchiha clan great again?"

-

"This place is really unsettling."

As Yuri and Shisui slowly made their way towards Kirigakure, the "Snake and Scorpion Duo" had already arrived inside the village.

Looking at the thick fog around him, Scorpion couldn't help but shake his head.

Having lived in a place like Sunagakure for many years, he had mixed feelings about the thick moisture in the air.

As a child, he may have longed for more water so that the village would be better, but now that feeling has faded.

Therefore, he felt somewhat uncomfortable with both the Land of Rain and the current Land of Water.

"I thought you would like this place, this is really unexpected."

Orochimaru licked his lips lightly and looked at Sasori beside him with amusement.

"Perhaps they've gotten used to the desert, used to its desolation, and besides, this kind of place is perfect for the Mist Ninja."

Sasori shook his head, then looked at Orochimaru and asked.

"To be honest, I was a little surprised, because I thought you would go to find that guy, Hiruko, first."

I didn't expect you to come to this place. You plan to find the bamboo troop clan first. Do you intend to recruit them?

"No, I have absolutely no intention of becoming teammates with any of them."

Orochimaru sneered. As the supreme commander of the Land of Whirlpools back then, he knew the situation in Kirigakure all too well.

The entire Kaguya clan is a bunch of lunatics; even Orochimaru would frown at their madness.

If he were to team up with such a madman, he would probably make this so-called "teammate" a thing of the past the very next day.

"According to intelligence, they are most likely to betray us, but for a clan to want to shake a ninja village is somewhat overestimating themselves."

Even though the Uchiha clan possessed three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, they didn't have many unrealistic ambitions; this was the rational approach.

Going mad will never get you what you want, because even with three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, there's only one outcome when facing an attack by tens of thousands of Konoha ninja.

However, they could manage to inflict mutual destruction on Konoha, but the ultimate result of doing so would be that Konoha would also be divided up.

Being rational is always a good thing; those who are irrational are always the first to be eliminated.

Sasori nodded, completely agreeing with Orochimaru's idea; once a ninja loses their rationality, they are indeed not far from destruction.

It seems that the bamboo plucker clan is unlikely to live long, but this is definitely not a bad thing for them!

"So, you're here to collect their bloodline?"

"Didn't you come here to collect their bodies too?"

"It seems our collaboration will be very, very pleasant."

"That's what I think too."

Orochimaru and Sasori exchanged a glance, and then they both smiled.

Although they didn't feel any regret at not meeting sooner, since they had known each other for a long time, and if it weren't for various reasons, they would have been fighting to the death long ago.

But the current situation isn't too bad, after all, they share the same goal!

"By the way, do you think we'll be able to find the real thing this time?"

As they walked, Orochimaru suddenly tilted his head and asked curiously.

Before setting off, he had already learned about the "true and false mysterious man" from Scorpion, which he found quite interesting.

In particular, Sasori's speculation that the real mysterious person was likely "Uchiha Madara" piqued Orochimaru's interest even more.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems quite possible, because according to Scorpion, the genuine article's demeanor and power were truly captivating.

That's what a master should look like, nothing like this guy now, who looks like a rat hiding in a stinking ditch!

"I don't know either. The reason I met that guy was because he was interested in some things about Sunagakure."

Scorpion thought about it for a moment and finally shook his head. Actually, he also wanted to see the "real Uchiha Madara" again.

"However, I might still have a chance. After all, he might be interested in something like what happened in Kirigakure."

Would you be interested?

Orochimaru's gaze was deep and thoughtful; he was now even more interested in this so-called Akatsuki organization.

There are two people with exactly the same abilities, but completely different personalities, and their temperament and strength are worlds apart.

How could Orochimaru not care about such a thing? It's just a pity that he can't see its true face yet!

"Perhaps this time there will be a pleasant surprise."

-

Within the Zhutori clan.

Taketori Yokohisa coldly surveyed his subordinates in front of him.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, during which time he has made ample preparations.

Whether it's training their own people or constantly purchasing various combat supplies.

Most importantly, over the course of this year, he was able to continuously receive information about the Water Shadow from Master Yuan.

While this information wasn't complete, it was enough to help him accomplish many things.

Under these circumstances, he now feels that he is fully prepared!

Having calmed his agitated emotions, Taketori Yokohisa declared loudly, "Tonight, we will change Kirigakure, we will change history!"

In an instant, more than a hundred bamboo ninja knelt on one knee: "We obey the clan leader's orders!"

Taketori Yokohisa nodded in satisfaction.

With so many loyal and fully armed tribesmen, how could he possibly fail to accomplish what he set out to do?

In his mind, as long as he could launch a surprise attack on the Mizukage Building and successfully assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, he could succeed.

So, without a leader, Kirigakure had no choice but to accept him and let him ascend to the throne of Mizukage.

After all, there aren't many people in Kirigakure who can compete with him for the position of Mizukage right now.

Even if he's a Yuan Master, isn't he still one of their people?

"However, the Yuan Masters are still a problem, after all, they have the Uchiha and Konoha behind them."

Whenever he thought of Konoha, especially the Uchiha clan, the image of that proud and aloof figure would involuntarily appear in his mind.

That guy single-handedly killed so many people, and even managed to lock onto him in the crowd and defeat him in one fell swoop!

In fact, if that guy wanted to, he'd probably be nothing more than a skeleton by now.

"Could the legend from back then be true?"

Taketori Yokohisa couldn't help but think to himself, but he couldn't reach a conclusion on this matter either.

More importantly, although he had been convinced by Yuzhi, he absolutely did not want to be controlled by her!

"Does Konoha want to turn Kirigakure into its own possession? Too bad, I don't want to be your slave."

Taketori Yokohisa thought to himself, "I've always been quite wary of Genji and his group."

Even though their people are secretly providing some intelligence, he doesn't trust them at all!

In his view, they were nothing more than loyal dogs of Konoha, and the village he longed for would not be interfered with by these people.

Besides, he really did have the opportunity to do it.

After all, the isolated location of Wuyin overseas gave him enough confidence!

If handled properly, he will be the only one in Kirigakure, and Kirigakure will belong to him alone.

In a secluded spot deep within the forest, Qing closed his white eyes.

However, his face was pale and he looked unwell, so Mei Terumi quickly supported him.

"How are you? Senior Qing, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Qing shook her head. "It's just that using the Byakugan too much has taken its toll."

Although the Byakugan doesn't cause various negative effects on the recipient like the Sharingan, otherwise Kakashi wouldn't be the only successful case.

However, as one of the most valuable eye techniques in the ninja world, it also comes with its own burdens.

Those who are not members of the Hyuga clan would find it unbearable to use the Byakugan for an extended period of time, which is why Ao seals it away when he is not using it.

"Thank you for your hard work," Mei Terumi said. "What's the situation inside?"

"The situation is not good now; Taketori Yokohisa has already gathered his subordinates."

After catching his breath, Qing said, looking slightly tired.

"They have a large number of people and are well-equipped. If this continues, they will probably launch an operation soon."

Damn it, these bastards are really insane!

Ao's face was grim, and Terumi Mei also fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

It's not surprising that the Bamboo Clan went mad; they had been making moves for a long time, though only they themselves thought they were being discreet.

However, to her dismay, neither the Water Shadow nor their direct superior, the Elder Yuan Shi, reacted to this in a way that was hard to fathom.

They either completely ignored it or let them do whatever they wanted, which puzzled Terumi Mei.

Mei Terumi has always been a smart person, especially since Master Gen spared no effort in training her.

This allowed her to understand many things and think of many things, but the problem of bamboo catching was something she really didn't quite understand.

Although she wondered if this was intentional on their part, since there were many benefits to doing so.

"But isn't Taketori a member of Kirigakure?"

Mei Terumi sighed inwardly. She always felt that this was not a good thing, but unfortunately, things often don't go according to her wishes.

"By the way, where are Zabuza and Kisame? I haven't seen them today."

It took Mei Terumi a while to recover from that emotion, and then she asked curiously.

Zabuza and Kisame are now also following Elder Yuanshi, and she can't say she likes either of them.

Zabuza's brutal murder of all his classmates was infamous, and Kisame was no ordinary person either.

Although the addition of these two would make Elder Yuan Shi's power stronger, she would definitely not be satisfied with people who do not cherish their companions.

"They're with the elders; perhaps they have something important to discuss."

Qing rubbed his temples before continuing.

"Let's continue monitoring; after all, this is our mission."

"Um."

Mei Terumi nodded, then spoke with a sigh.

"I understand. I hope everything will be alright."

She also felt that she should stop overthinking and focus on dealing with the immediate issues at hand.

"Um?"

Just then, a bat suddenly flew to her side, which startled her slightly.

She quickly retrieved the scroll dropped by the bat, and only after watching the bat turn into a cloud of smoke did she swiftly unroll it.

Just a moment later, her expression became even stranger.

"What's wrong?" Ao looked at Terumi Mei strangely.

"Let's go." Mei Terumi took a deep breath. "Everyone monitoring this place, withdraw."

"What?" Qing was stunned. "How could this be?"

"Don't ask me that question." Mei Terumi gave a wry smile. "Because, I don't know either."

-

Hidden Mist Village, Master Yuan's office.

Zabuza and Kisame stood obediently to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

They even kept their heads down and didn't look at each other. If they hadn't been called to their feet, they would have just wanted to leave the office!

Because they really didn't expect that they would encounter that devilish man again!

Uchiha Haori, this name brought them a great deal of shock.

If they were facing other people, they might dare to be arrogant, but against this opponent, they were simply counting down the seconds.

Even when facing an attack by hundreds of Mist Ninja, even if they were just a group of weaklings, they might break through the encirclement and even almost kill the head of the Kaguya clan.

Such strength is simply beyond their reach!

The most crucial thing is that what they're talking about now is something that really leaves Kisame and Zabuza looking at each other in bewilderment.

They even started to worry that they might be silently killed because they heard so much!

"Lord Hagoromo, are you really going to do this?"

After an unknown amount of time, Master Yuan frowned and suddenly asked a question.

"In that case, your situation will be extremely dangerous."

"Don't worry, I have my reasons for doing this, and it's also to help you."

Yuzhi smiled nonchalantly. Although Yuanshi was already controlled by Kotoamatsukami, he was someone who would absolutely obey them.

However, some restrictions are not too strict. One of them is the form of address. Someone like Master Yuan would probably not easily address others as "Master".

Yu Zhi naturally agreed with this idea. What if they met in another place and Yuan Shi addressed him as "sir"? That would be terrible.

Now, Master Yuan is indeed considering their needs; in his view, Yuzhi's choice is rather risky.

But Yuzhi wasn't particularly worried; he smiled and continued speaking.

"I have always hoped that you would become the Mizukage, because only you can lead Kirigakure to peace and at the same time build a relationship of growth with Konoha."

After all, Kirigakure lacks everything, while Konoha has everything; cooperation between the two would be more beneficial than harmful. But you can't control these things right now, can you?

"Indeed, the Fourth Mizukage was incompetent; he almost caused the Fourth Shinobi World War last time."

Master Yuan nodded; he was referring to the attack on the Third Hokage.

"Moreover, he almost ruined a great talent of Kirigakure. If Lord Yuzhi hadn't shown mercy, the situation would probably have been different."

To my shame, I'm not fully prepared yet, since he's the Mizukage and I'm just an elder.

I cannot easily cross that line, but this time the bamboo plucking incident will be a good opportunity to show everyone his brutal side.

But if we act against him now, the situation could become complicated.

At this point, Master Yuan also appeared extremely helpless.

Even though he has rights no less than his shadow, there is still a chasm between them.

Most importantly, although the Mizukage is performing exceptionally poorly right now, there are still many people who believe in him, unless he makes another mistake.

The Bamboo Clan was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Only by showing people how cruel he was could he attract more supporters!

"I know what you mean, so what I'm going to do this time is make him make a mistake."

Although Yuzhi did consider simply killing the Fourth Mizukage, since the impact wouldn't be that significant.

In the original work, Ao used his Byakugan to see through Obito's plot to control the Fourth Mizukage and successfully dispelled the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage.

Normally, Yagura should have regained his power, but strangely, after he lost to Itachi Uchiha, Kirigakure simply entered an era without Kage.

It wasn't until Obito announced the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War that Kirigakure chose Mei Terumi to become the Mizukage and participate in the Five Kage Summit.

The original work does not explain how Yagura Karatachi died.

It could be an assassination attempt, after all, he was first controlled and then lost to Itachi Uchiha. These two failures meant that he faced more than just a crisis of trust.

It's also possible that he committed suicide, after all, he was just too shameful.

Moreover, ninja suicide is not uncommon. Kakashi's father, who earned the title of "Konoha's White Fang" and whose fame surpassed even that of the Legendary Sannin, died by suicide.

The reason why Sakumo Hatake committed suicide was simply because the mission failed, causing losses to the village.

As for whether someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes, Yuzhi was too lazy to think about it. Maybe yes, maybe no, who can say for sure what's going on?

Anyway, if it happens, Danzo will be the scapegoat.

The Fourth Mizukage became a plaything in the hands of others, throwing Kirigakure into chaos, only to be defeated once again.

This is not only a loss of his personal reputation, but also a heavy price that the entire Fog Village must bear.

Everything he encountered far surpassed Sakumo Hatake's mission failure, so choosing suicide was perfectly normal!

So it's not impossible for Yuzhi to kill him, but the key issue is still with Genshi.

In the original story, the reason why the Master could turn Kirigakure into a shadowless village was largely because the Fourth Mizukage had thrown the entire village into chaos, but he hasn't done that yet.

Therefore, Yuan Shi's chances are not great, and it is questionable whether the other forces in the village will allow him to make the village disappear.

"My plan is to defeat him and strip him of the Three-Tails' chakra, but I will also leave him alive."

"By incorporating the matter of the Bamboo Clan, I think this will be even more beneficial for you, won't it?"

"If that's the case, then things will be much better."

Yuan Shi was also a shrewd person. He instantly understood what Yu Zhi meant. Yagura was not dead, but his three tails were extracted.

At the same time, he cruelly attacked the Taketori clan, making the bloodline families feel uneasy, which will definitely give him a huge opportunity!

"But Lady Hagoromo, this would make your situation even more dangerous, and you might also risk having your identity exposed."

Although Yuan Shi was happy, under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, he couldn't help but start thinking about Yu Zhi.

"The Hidden Mist Village has the Byakugan, and also sensory ninjas. If you easily reveal your aura, then..."

"Don't worry, either you transfer that Byakugan away, or I'll take it with me. After all, it's Konoha's stuff, and something I want to study."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuzhi interrupted him with a smile.

"As for sensory ninjas, they can't catch me, nor can they catch Shisui."

As he spoke, Yuzhi's aura underwent a subtle change, and that special natural aura filled his entire body.

Even a faint purple tinge appeared on his face. With such an aura mixed in, his chakra underwent a complete change!

Even the Yuan Master, who was right next to him, couldn't help but feel a little dazed, although he could still sense some similarities between them.

But this aura has indeed changed!

"Is that so?"

Master Yuan nodded silently, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"Perhaps I should trust Lord Hagoromo, or perhaps I should address you by a different name now?"

"You can call me Uchiha Izuna now."

Yuri really wanted to say "Call me Uchiha Madara", but after thinking it over, he preferred to leave the identity of Uchiha Madara for later.

Once he fully awakens the Eternal Eye, he will be able to use the identity of Uchiha Madara without restraint.

There were so many Uchiha in history, he couldn't possibly keep exploiting Madara Uchiha, could he?

"Finally, Kirigakure has Black Zetsu, and that guy knows Madara."

Shisui, who had been silently watching everything from the sidelines, was also deeply moved.

This way of changing a village in his own way, making it more peaceful, and even having an impact on the ninja world, made him extremely excited.

He's seriously considering a question now: Is his Kotoamatsukami a power created to bring complete peace to the ninja world?

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, as long as we cooperate well with our seniors, we can definitely create a world without war!"

Shisui clenched his fist slightly, having made up his mind, but then he became somewhat dazed.

"Wait a minute, if you used the identity 'Uchiha Izuna', what should I use?"

"Could it be Uchiha Tajima?"

-

As night fell and the temperature dropped, the fog gradually appeared, and then became thicker and thicker.

Bathed in the thick fog of night, the entire Hidden Mist Village appeared exceptionally tranquil.

Only the moonlight was hazy, its faint glow shimmering in the mist.

The streets of Wuyin were almost deserted, all the shops were closed, and only the occasional bark of a dog slightly broke the deathly silence.

Within the Taketori clan, Taketori Yokohisa, who had been feigning sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The time has come, let's get started!"

"yes!"

At his command, a sudden silence rose and fell.

In an instant, a shrill cry rang out throughout the tribe's territory and even the entire forest!

"ah"

Along with that shrill whistle, a mournful wail instantly echoed from the direction of the forest!

This mournful wail, piercing the tranquility of the night, seemed to be the beginning of turmoil.

Before long, all the secret agents in the entire forest were wiped out. Although these agents were all highly skilled, their information had already been obtained long ago.

Even if they were prepared to take advantage of the enemy's lack of awareness, no matter how careful they were, they had absolutely no chance of winning against the elite Taketori troops who were also skilled in the Hidden Mist Assassination Technique!

After the screams in the forest ended, Taketori Yokohisa did not linger at all and quickly led everyone into the forest.

"Proceed according to the original plan, bypass the defensive area, and quickly break through to the Water Shadow Building. Understood?"

"yes!"

Under the command of Taketori Yokohisa, all the elite Taketori soldiers had a mad look in their eyes, and the bloody smell spreading through the forest constantly stimulated their brains.

They had truly been waiting for this moment for a long time!

"Looks like we've arrived at just the right time."

Standing atop a small hill, Orochimaru and Sasori gazed at the members of the Kaguya clan rushing rapidly toward the center of the village, a mocking smile on their faces.

"However, they seem to have help, as they can easily bypass some defenses. It seems there's constant infighting within Kirigakure as well."

Scorpion observed even more closely, but his gaze was filled with disdain.

It's unclear whether the situation is due to what's happening inside Kirigakure or whether the Kaguya clan is about to face extinction.

"However, what they're doing now doesn't seem to be in your best interest."

Orochimaru licked his lips and tilted his head to look at Sasori beside him.

"After all, they stormed right into the village, so it won't be easy for you to collect the bodies."

"It's okay, there's always a way."

Scorpion shook his head slightly, then chuckled softly.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, it can still yield a good result in the end."

And their battle will also give me a good opportunity to observe it, won't it?"

"That's true. Anyway, it doesn't really matter whether what we're collecting is from living people or dead people."

Orochimaru nodded. At this point, he really didn't care whether the bloodline he wanted to study was from a living person or a dead person.

Since he wants to create the bloodline he desires, it is indeed necessary to use other bloodlines to clone and create new life.

Living people are merely a means for him to continuously extract from, while dead people are of no consequence as long as enough are collected.

"Let's go."

Orochimaru looked at the unstoppable bamboo ploughing force in the distance, shook his head, and then said indifferently.

"Let's go check it out quickly, or we'll miss something interesting."

As they were talking, Orochimaru took the lead and Sasori simply followed behind him, quickly heading forward together.

As the bamboo cutters rushed into the center of the village, mournful wails echoed through the once-dead village!

A series of roars, curses, and piercing alarms rang out in Kirigakure.

Flames began to appear in Kirigakure, and explosions started to occur one after another.

Interestingly, most people chose to continue hiding or simply ignore it.

The ruthless style of the Hidden Mist has long since numbed the residents here.

"What a pathetic village."

Scorpion seemed quite disdainful of the village's situation, yet his eyes gleamed with a different kind of light.

"But this place is also a paradise!"

"Who can argue with that?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, but after a moment he suddenly frowned.

Looking up, they saw two figures standing calmly ahead of them, gazing into the distance as if watching a play.

One of them was wearing a long robe, while the other was dressed in simple combat attire.

They couldn't tell their ages because they were both wearing masks, but what made Orochimaru frown the most was the logo he saw on the back of their clothes!

Uchiha

The conspicuous round fan instantly made Orochimaru realize which clan the two belonged to, but he was still puzzled as to who they were.

To appear so openly in Kirigakure is quite unlike the style of the Uchiha clan from Konoha.

"Could it be an Uchiha from the village?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly, and Sasori, who was standing to the side, naturally noticed this as well, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Uchiha? Who could they be?"

"I don't know either, but maybe we can go and take a look."

Orochimaru's eyes were slightly narrowed, but a different kind of glint flashed in them.

Within Konoha, he had neither the opportunity nor the courage to attack the Uchiha, because there were three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan users watching over the entire village.

After leaving, he was not very willing to attack the Uchiha clan of Konoha, because he had already comprehended the power of the Uchiha Haori!

That exaggerated power, capable of destroying things, is something he will probably never forget.

Although he possesses the Sharingan and also has Hashirama Senju's cells, why wouldn't he want to obtain the bloodline belonging to the Uchiha clan?

He is unable to complete this task for the time being, which has always been a regret for him.

Now that he has suddenly encountered two mysterious Uchiha who appeared out of nowhere, how could he not be interested and excited?

Sasori noticed the change in Orochimaru's eyes: "You're interested in them?"

"Hmm." Orochimaru nodded. "Very interested."

"Let's go then." Sasori's gaze also locked onto the two. "I'd like to see just how strong the other Uchiha are!"

As they spoke, the two accelerated simultaneously, heading towards the two Uchiha.

"senior."

Shisui frowned. He saw someone suddenly approaching them and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

What made him frown even more was that the person who came was Orochimaru!

"I saw them. What a coincidence!"

Yuri was also a little puzzled as to why she had run into Orochimaru here.

In Yuri's memory, Orochimaru's main purpose in coming to Kirigakure seemed to be the bloodline of the Kaguya clan, or perhaps that brat Kimimaro.

"Does he have other ideas?"

Yuzhi tilted his head and muttered to himself, but he wasn't flustered at all; on the contrary, he was quite excited.

He longed to broaden his horizons, but he would never allow himself to be sent to his death.

As he pondered this, Yuzhi's gaze deepened, and his aura began to change.

Just then, Orochimaru and Sasori arrived in front of them.

"Hidden Shadows, Many Snake Hands!"

However, to Hagoromo's utter surprise, Orochimaru didn't waste any words with him and immediately raised his hand.

In an instant, countless snake shadows coiled towards him and Shisui.

Thank you all for your support, subscriptions, and monthly passes!

I'm going on a business trip today, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to send it on the plane, so I sent it in advance.

The groundwork has been laid, and it's time for the main character to reap the rewards.
