"Moon, you're an interesting person. (Free portal)"

When they reached Uchiha Yue, Orochimaru suddenly smiled and said, "There are many talented ninjas in the village, but you are the most special one. Sometimes I really envy Tsunade for having a disciple like you. Alright, enough chit-chat, we're all going to the front lines soon. Now, what have you discovered, Tsukidō?"

"Um."

Since he needed Orochimaru's guidance, Uchiha Yue couldn't hide anything from him, after all, he might not be Orochimaru's match in terms of cunning.

So, just as Orochimaru finished speaking, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Inoichi just told me that my information was leaked to the ninjas of Yakunin Village and Sunagakure because Mikasa, the leader of the caravan I escorted earlier, is a spy for either Sunagakure or Yakunin Village."

Uchiha Yue paused slightly, then looked up at Orochimaru and continued, "Lord Orochimaru, don't you find it strange? If Mikasa, the caravan leader, is really a spy, why would our village accept his mission? I don't believe the staff in the Hokage Office are idiots who would accept missions from people of unknown origin. So, since the staff in the Hokage Office can't make mistakes, then it can only be that Mikasa herself is the problem. Or perhaps, the person hiding behind Mikasa is the problem!"

"Yes, that analysis makes a lot of sense."

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Orochimaru nodded slightly and asked, "Yue, do you have anyone you suspect?"

"Have!"

Seeing Orochimaru ask again, Uchiha Yue hesitated slightly before saying, "Since Mikasa couldn't possibly be a spy for Yakunin Village or Sunagakure, then there must be a problem within our village. Someone within the village wants to get rid of me! And within the village, my existence can't affect the interests of too many people, so I can further narrow down the scope of suspicion. Right now, the people who most want me to disappear are probably those guys from the Hyuga Clan, right?"

"After all, that guy Hyuga Hiashi has tried to poison me many times!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's analysis, Orochimaru suddenly fell silent, causing Uchiha Yue to feel slightly uneasy.

Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue only told Orochimaru half the story, because his suspicions extended beyond the Hyuga Clan. Even if the Hyuga Clan wanted to eliminate Uchiha Yue, they wouldn't do such a thing on the front lines. After all, the Hyuga Clan wasn't a powerful clan in Konoha; they wouldn't leave such a stain on Konoha just to get rid of Uchiha Yue.

Therefore, the two most suspicious individuals in Uchiha Yue's mind were Shimura Danzo, a Shimura Danzō of the Konoha Council of Elders, and the elders of the Uchiha Clan. Only Shimura Danzo, an elder of Konoha, and Shimura Danzō Uchiha Clan Konoha concealed Mikasa's identity and allowed her to successfully undertake missions within Mikasa. However, since Uchiha Yue is currently cooperating with Uchiha Lei within the clan, it's also impossible for anyone within the Uchiha Yue Uchiha Clan to eliminate him.

This makes it obvious who wanted to eliminate Uchiha Yue: Danzo of the Konoha Council of Elders.

However, Uchiha Yue didn't tell Orochimaru the truth and directly reveal Shimura Danzō's affairs because he didn't have enough evidence. Furthermore, Uchiha Yue still didn't understand why Danzo, an elder of Konoha, would attack him. Did Danzo already see him as someone who had to be eliminated?

Then, just as Uchiha Yue was silently thinking about this, Orochimaru, who was ahead, suddenly chuckled and said, "Yue, your suspicions are quite valid, but you don't have any evidence, do you? Alright, let's not talk about your information being leaked anymore. After all, that was your test. As long as you continue to perform well in the village, your information will eventually appear in the hands of intelligence agents in various ninja villages. So, Yue, what you need to worry about now is not the leak of information, but choosing the path you want to take in the future."

Orochimaru slowly walked up to Uchiha Yue, gently patted Uchiha Yue on the shoulder, and asked, "Tsuki, what do you think of the Yakunin Village?"

"Yakunin Village?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue hesitated slightly, then a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes as he said, "The Yakunin Village no longer has any reason to exist."

"Oh?"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Orochimaru's snake-like eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he asked, "Why?"

"There's no reason why!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yue answered without hesitation, saying directly, "There is no true peace in the ninja world, only true strength. Our Konoha is the number one ninja village in the Shinobi World, and those other ninja villages should be prepared to submit! Since the Yakunin Village dares to block our way, then we should annihilate the Yakunin Village and let all those ninja villages know that our Konoha is not so easy to mess with! Therefore, Lord Orochimaru, if possible, I hope to participate in the war on the front lines and join the ranks of those who wipe out the Yakunin Village!"

"Um."

After hearing Uchiha Yue's answer, Orochimaru fell silent once more. However, Uchiha Yue could sense that Orochimaru was very satisfied with his answer. Within Konoha, Orochimaru undoubtedly belonged to the radical faction. He considered himself solely Konoha ninja, and therefore could wholeheartedly dedicate himself to the Konoha's interests. Moreover, just like Danzo, an elder of Konoha, Orochimaru was willing to pay any price for anything that benefited the Konoha.

Therefore, when answering Orochimaru, Uchiha Yue deliberately studied Orochimaru's personality from the original work, which led to his current answer.

Immediately afterwards...

Just as Uchiha Yue had expected, Orochimaru was indeed very satisfied with his answer.

Then, after Orochimaru patted Uchiha Yue on the shoulder again, Uchiha Yue slowly said, "Tsuki, you are Tsunade's disciple, so you're also half a disciple of mine. After you return to the village this time, I'll have Minato Kushina Orochimaru you for the Chunin Ninja Exams. If you can successfully become Chunin, I'll arrange for you to join the Anbu and work by my side. What do you think?"

"No problem, Lord Orochimaru!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yue had no chance of refusing and replied directly to Orochimaru.

Then, when Orochimaru's lips curled into a faint smile, he waved to Uchiha Yue and said, "Alright, Tsukuyomi, let's go check on the battle outside. I heard you created a Falling Moon Style Ninjutsu; it's very interesting. Perfect timing, we're about to have our final battle with the Yakunin Village, so show me what you've got!"

"Yes!"
