Ninja World

'Puffin' hesitated slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

As for the subordinate he trained, he didn't care.

Even though the smell of barbecue is still filling the air.

Since Uchiha Tatsu has passed the assessment, he will be a member of the "root" department in the future and his colleague.

The subordinate who failed the test is the ration of the psychic beast kept in captivity under the abyss.

He glanced at Uchiha Tatsumi and wanted to say something.

However, Orochimaru said without turning his head.

"He's just like me."

....

A root ninja came and explained.

After all, Uchiha's position in Konoha is very important.

"Uchiha Tatsumi has not been stamped with the curse of tongue."

There was silence for a long while.

"I see."

Immediately, the figure disappeared.

"Hmph, I knew Danzo would not dare to use the Seal of Absolute Disaster on the children of our Uchiha family."

A man looked disgusted.

This is an extremely vicious seal.

The girl passing by outside the door trembled slightly when she heard these words, and the tea on the plate also fluctuated slightly.

She didn't look for Chen this morning, and then... she couldn't find him again.

No trace was seen until dark.

Who is Danzo…

Of course Uchiha Haru knew that, she was not someone from outside like Chen, a native of Konoha naturally knew this name.

"Chen him..."

"I actually went to ANBU..."

He showed a worried look.

The 'Root' department itself is also affiliated with the ANBU. It is the ANBU's training institution and provides fresh blood to the ANBU. It also falls directly under the Hokage.

But now it has essentially broken away from the Anbu and even surpassed the Anbu, squeezing out a lot of power.

The 'roots' are so secret that even the people in the village don't know much about it.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then knocked three times, opened the door and walked in.

There were only two people in the room.

One is her father, and the other is also the most powerful patriarch in the family.

After glancing at the girl who came in, the two of them were still talking to themselves.

"perhaps…"

"This is also an opportunity to communicate with Danzo."

The clan elder had a far-reaching gaze, and after taking a sip of the tea brought by Uchiha Haru, he said these words.

Qing's father was slightly startled.

He once competed with Uchiha Kage for the position of family head, but failed, so he retired behind the scenes and became one of the family elders.

Participate in decision-making within the family.

"Communicate with Danzo?"

It is an open secret that Shimura Danzo has a bad relationship with the Uchiha family.

Danzo has always advocated using more high-pressure methods against the rebellious Uchiha clan, but this was rejected by the Third Hokage.

Now that the clan elder has proposed to communicate with Danzo, isn't he seeking the skin of a tiger?

"Seek the skin of a tiger?"

The old man wearing a long coat looked deeply at the bright moon outside the window.

"Shimura Danzo has no enmity with our Uchiha family. Does he still want to destroy the Uchiha?"

The old man himself smiled when he said this.

The Uchiha family has a long heritage and was not destroyed during the war-torn Warring States period. How could the Uchiha family be overthrown by a small Shimura Danzo?

"He just needs a target."

"So that we can eliminate Sarutobi Hiruzen's vigilance."

"But everyone knows what Danzo wants."

The old man waved his arm, as if all the great things were at his fingertips.

He had lived through the Warring States period and had seen too many conspiracies and strategies. How could the little thoughts and tricks of Konoha's top brass be hidden from his eyes?

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen is just one of his descendants.

The clan elder stood with his hands behind his hands and said firmly.

"If he wants to become Hokage, he needs the support of our Uchiha family."

"This is the basis of cooperation."

"Otherwise, why would Danzo specifically want to leave our family's Uchiha Tatsumi?"

"Original, that's how it is..."

Uchiha Haru's father showed an expression of sudden realization.

However, the girl who deliberately slowed down her pace and had not yet walked out pricked up her ears.

Finally heard the point.

Everything about Uchiha Tatsumi is a sensitive word.

Quietly closed the door.

Then he hid outside the door and continued to eavesdrop.

Orochimaru walked in front and Uchiha Tatsumi walked behind. Neither of them spoke.

Under the cold light, Orochimaru's pupils turned sideways slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

He spoke calmly.

"You want to kill him?"

Uchiha Chen, who was walking behind with his head lowered, was slightly startled, then calmed down, his eyes flashed slightly and then he denied.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Ah."

Orochimaru licked the corners of his lips and let out a hoarse laugh, but he also did not continue speaking.

"I saw your test paper..."

"Uchiha Tatsumi."

There was silence in the long corridor, except for the faint sound of water drops that would never stop.

Uchiha Chen raised his head slightly, not understanding the meaning of Orochimaru's words. He read his test paper...

Why should I mention it?

But Orochimaru didn't answer in a hurry, and continued walking forward.

Tread...

The footsteps of the two people moved from far to near.

Then, he opened the door.

A 'root' ninja on duty turned his head sideways and saw Orochimaru and quickly gave a slight salute.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru just nodded slightly.

The 'root' ninja's eyes fell on Uchiha Tatsu. Although he was just a child, this root ninja did not show any strange expression on his face.

"Sir, this is..."

Instead, his attitude was very low.

"He is my student."

Orochimaru said calmly.

Then he raised his hand to form the hand seal to open the barrier, and immediately walked in.

‘It seems that this is the place where Orochimaru conducts important experiments’

The young man's heart tightened slightly, should he follow?

You must know that Orochimaru originally peered into his eyes for the purpose of conducting experiments and studying the limits of blood succession in the Uchiha family.

But Uchiha Tatsumi's hesitation lasted only a second.

Even if Xuan walks in, do I have the right to refuse?

Already fallen into the thief's hole...

It's just that Orochimaru's attitude towards him is pretty good now, and he seems to have given up the idea of ​​taking action against Uchiha Tatsu.

He has not appeared in front of Uchiha Tatsu for more than a year.

Orochimaru's attitude made him unpredictable.

In fact, there are not many people who can see through Orochimaru, or... almost none.

The tall and lanky man stood inside the barrier, waiting for Uchiha Tatsumi.

The young man also raised his legs and stepped in.

Immediately the barrier closed.

What hit my face was the pungent smell of a faint chemical agent.

Uchiha Chen frowned slightly, raised his head and carefully looked at the place where he was now.

A spacious room.

There are piles of bookshelves on both sides, filled with all kinds of books. At first glance, there are all kinds of books, including ninjutsu, experimental, and medical. Most of them are serious scientific research books.

I didn't expect Orochimaru to be such a person who loves learning.

Uchiha Tatsumi showed a slightly surprised expression.
