All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Even with the added benefit of the Uzumaki clan's special constitution, Kazuko Uzumaki was struggling to keep up, her spirits were low, and she was yawning repeatedly.

Seeing this, Uchiha Xiang was very satisfied with the game that the Land of Snow had developed according to his requirements, as well as his monstrous physique.

Kazuko Uzumaki got quite engrossed in playing the game with Makoto Uchiha; it was her first time playing an e-sports game.

Uchiha Sho even took her to try out the peak match mode, but unfortunately there's no online multiplayer available, so she can only play against the computer.

However, even when fighting against computer-controlled opponents, Uchiha Sō still carried Kazuko, achieving a 5-0 victory in the peak match...

Seeing that Kazuko was not feeling well, he took her back to the bedroom to rest...

……

"clatter……"

In the middle of the night, a soft sound suddenly came from the roof.

Judging from the sound, it should be the footsteps left by a ninja from the Uchiha clan who flew across the roof of the Uchiha Elephant.

What could be so urgent that he didn't even have time to avoid the rooftop of Uchiha Sho, the head of the security forces?

Startled awake, Kazuko frowned slightly and spoke somewhat lazily.

"How rude!"

Uchiha Sōze's eyes narrowed, and he quickly got up and dressed.

Unless absolutely necessary, even the Uchiha clan ninjas would not casually pass over someone else's rooftop.

This usually only happens when there is a very urgent task.

He walked to the small balcony on the second floor and looked out.

In the darkness, many figures could be seen moving about the village, and judging from their direction, they all seemed to be heading towards the Hokage Building...

Orochimaru was forced to defect by Hiruzen Sarutobi so quickly?

Uchiha Xiang thought to himself with a mocking smile, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

Recently, a sudden riot broke out in the village, which can only mean that our great Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is preparing to "deal with" his "beloved disciple," Orochimaru.

Uchiha Sho hadn't expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi would make his move so quickly.

After all, Orochimaru was one of the key contributors to Konoha's victory in the Third Shinobi World War.

The Third Shinobi World War has only just ended, and they're already starting to settle scores with Orochimaru? Aren't they afraid of disappointing those who made contributions to Konoha?

Or was the Third Hokage simply using this as an excuse to force Orochimaru away, rather than engaging in a major battle with him?

Inside the house, Uzumaki Kazuko also sensed something was wrong. She quickly got dressed, went to the balcony, and whispered to Uchiha Sō.

"Xiang, what happened?"

Uchiha Eiji gently stroked Kazuko's wine-red hair while offering her tender comfort.

"With such tight security in the village and so many powerful figures guarding it, what could possibly happen? Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

"But……"

Looking at the ninjas still gathering in twos and threes toward the Hokage Building in the night, Kazuko Uzumaki felt very uneasy.

For Kazuko, who had experienced the annihilation of her village, the tense atmosphere in Konoha during this period instilled in her an instinctive fear and unease.

"It's alright, you can go back to your room and rest."

Uchiha Xiang patiently soothed Uzumaki Kazuko's emotions, smiling casually.

"It's just some expected changes. I came back this time to deal with this matter."

Seeing that Uchiha Sō seemed to have been prepared, Uzumaki Kazuko gradually calmed down and held his right hand tightly, giving him some instructions.

"Xiang, be careful. I'll be waiting for you at home."

After saying that, Kazuko Uzumaki turned around and went back into her bedroom to continue resting.

After watching Kazuko return indoors, Uchiha Sō immediately used the Shadow Clone Technique to leave a shadow clone in the house to protect Kazuko and deal with any possible investigations.

After all, his relationship with Orochimaru was no secret.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't notify the head of the security forces this time, only summoning the ANBU, which makes it hard to say that he wasn't keeping an eye on him.

Chapter 72, Danzo? "He was such a good person!"

Uchiha Sō's true form changed into a black cloak and an ordinary monkey mask.

Next, he used the Yin Release Space to distort the space around him, completely concealing his aura.

This method can render any odor-tracking method ineffective.

Uchiha Sō also learned from his mistakes.

He had been ambushed by rogue ninjas before while completing a bounty mission because of his scent, so ever since then, he has used spatial power to hide his scent every time he takes action.

Once everything was ready, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Uchiha Eiji's first goal was the Hokage Building; only by getting there could he deduce the extent of the situation.

Taking advantage of the Sharingan, Uchiha Xiang silently infiltrated a house not far from the Hokage Building. After using genjutsu to keep the homeowner asleep, he observed the Hokage Building from afar through the window.

At this moment, the Hokage Building is brightly lit.

Dozens of ninjas had gathered in the plaza in front of the building.

Moreover, new ninjas continue to arrive from time to time.

Uchiha Xiang shifted his gaze from the plaza to the Hokage Building, where he discovered that at least ten ANBU squads were gathered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered a large number of ninjas, but did not mobilize civilians to seek refuge.

It seems he wasn't planning to fight Orochimaru in the village. So who the hell was he guarding against? Need I say more?

The Third Hokage is really cautious. He's probably worried that Uchiha Sō will lead the Uchiha clan in a rebellion under the guise of this opportunity!

If the Uchiha clan remains silent, Hiruzen Sarutobi might take this opportunity to investigate Orochimaru and Root's laboratories, thereby weakening Root.

No wonder he's been the Hokage of Konoha for so many years, he's truly shrewd and calculating.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth the entire village treating Orochimaru like a major enemy just because he defected.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Sho rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

"Given Orochimaru's current situation, he'll probably take the opportunity to 'grab' some stuff from Root before leaving. Anyway, his cooperation with Danzo was discovered by the Third Hokage. Rather than letting the Third Hokage take those things, Danzo might as well take advantage of Orochimaru's defection to 'give' these things to Orochimaru."

"On this point, Danzo and Orochimaru should both be tacitly aware of each other."

"Then the roots must be in a state of 'heavy losses' right now!"

If I go there now, can I snag a bargain?

Once he had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, Uchiha Sho's eyes lit up. Anyway, with the Third Hokage "going easy" on Orochimaru, there was no problem at all if he defected.

If I take advantage of a time difference and go to the "roots" to find bargains, I believe they won't mind!

It feels so good to be like Danzo crossing the river by feeling around!

Konoha's new "root"—Uchiha Enoki—flashed towards the Root's base.

The Root's base was located in a corner of Konoha Village. When Uchiha Sho arrived, he found that the two guards at the base entrance were indeed lying in pools of blood.

Tsk tsk, Danzo really went all out!

To silence the Third Hokage and the rest of the village, the two Chunin were sacrificed without hesitation.

With a silent cry, Uchiha Eiji's figure blurred, the space around him distorted, and he directly infiltrated the Root base.

When it comes to finding bargains, it's always a matter of first come, first served!

He couldn't wait for Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi to react; otherwise, they wouldn't leave him a single drop of soup.

The base was silent, with only a faint smell of blood in the air, telling Uchiha Sho that a fierce and bloody battle had taken place here not long ago.

Following the underground passage, Uchiha Sho gradually ventured deeper into the Root base.

Along the way, he found the corpses of 78 Root ninjas, all of whom had bluish-black skin.

Without a doubt, these Root ninjas were poisoned. Judging from the wounds on their bodies, they were all bitten by venomous snakes at close range, leading to their death from poisoning.

The venomous snake was incredibly fast, definitely a spirit beast, and its venom was so potent that they didn't even have time to save themselves.

The snakes in Ryūchi Cave are quick to clear out these small fish.

Orochimaru indeed came to Root to "make a quick buck" as funding for his experiments for the foreseeable future.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are probably busy chasing Orochimaru right now, hehe, here comes my chance to scavenger!

After turning a few corners, the view suddenly opened up before Uchiha Sō's eyes.

He quickly concealed himself and disappeared into the shadows of a corner, because he discovered that there were six fully armed Root ninjas guarding the area a dozen meters ahead.

"Hmm? Orochimaru didn't attack here, and Danzo still has a team of people guarding this place at this time?"

"This place is most likely a secret vault where the roots haven't had time to be moved yet!"

As Uchiha Xiang pondered, he reached into the ninja tool sealing scroll in his robes.

His purpose in infiltrating the Root base this time was to take advantage of Orochimaru's defection from Konoha, his acceptance of Danzo's "sponsorship," and the destruction of some "evidence" that was detrimental to Danzo, so as to fish in troubled waters.

After all, opportunities to "find a bargain" at the root are rare.

Danzo's collection, including forbidden scrolls from Root and the results of his human experiments with Orochimaru, is exactly what Uchiha Ei urgently needs right now.

Having made up his mind, Uchiha Xiang immediately pounced out. With his current strength, even without activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, he could easily defeat six Root ninjas.

"who?"

"Enemy attack..."

As soon as Uchiha Enoki stepped out of the shadows, the Root ninjas gasped in surprise.

However, the object of their exclamations was not Uchiha Sō, who was about to attack them, but the masked man who suddenly appeared out of thin air from the vortex.

In an instant, three Root ninjas had their throats slit by Uchiha Sho with kunai, and blood splattered everywhere.

The other three Root ninjas were thrown into the vortex by the masked man.

In a mere instant, six elite Root ninjas were inexplicably and instantly killed by the combined efforts of Uchiha Eboshi and the masked man.
