It was an old house that had been in disrepair for a long time. The wooden exterior walls were somewhat decayed, and the lanterns under the eaves were dim, giving off an air of twilight.
Uchiha Jun walked to the door of the mansion and opened it.
In the courtyard inside the gate, several old men were sitting around under the eaves, talking in low voices.
When they saw the figure of Uchiha Jun appearing at the door, their originally relaxed expressions instantly froze.
Uchiha Setsuna put down the tea cup in his hand, and his turbid and sharp eyes fell on Uchiha Jun: "Uchiha Jun? What are you... doing here?"
Uchiha Jun did not answer, but walked straight to the center of the yard, looked around, and said in a calm voice as if he was stating a fact, "Setsuna, I will take over you and your faction."
"Presumptuous!"
Uchiha Setsuna stood up suddenly, his old body trembling slightly with anger, "Who do you think you are? A young brat who dares to--"
His words stopped abruptly.
Because Uchiha Jun opened his eyes.
The scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan lit up in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the complicated six-pointed star pattern slowly rotated, emitting pupil power fluctuations that made people's souls tremble.
Uchiha Setsuna's pupils shrank suddenly, and he made several dry "gurgling" sounds in his throat, but he could not utter a word. Several elders around him also froze in place, as if their throats were being strangled by an invisible force.
"How long do you think you can keep it a secret with your little tricks?"
Uchiha Jun's voice was cold and flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "I knew it from the first time you tried to contact Danzo."
"Idiot, everything you do is done under my nose, contact Danzo?"
"Hmph!"
Uchiha Setsuna The blood on his face faded instantly.
He opened his mouth and wanted to defend, but Uchiha Jun didn't give him a chance to speak. Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil power exploded!
"Genjutsu·Sharingan!"
Uchiha Setsuna's body stiffened suddenly, and scarlet light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Then, his eyes became hollow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body sat back softly, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
Behind him, the elders who had followed him for most of his life were also completely controlled by Genjutsu of Uchiha Jun at the same time.
Uchiha Jun walked up to Uchiha Setsuna and looked down at the old man who once dominated the Uchiha Clan clan. Now he looked like an old dog whose teeth had been pulled out, with only dull eyes and a stiff body left.
"You still have some uses. This time on the battlefield, I just want to use you and your old and young people as 'waste'."
Uchiha Jun turned around and walked out of the mansion gate.
Behind him, under the moonlight, the door of the ancient mansion slowly closed, completely cutting off the inside and outside.
After solving the last unstable factor Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Jun did not stay in the clan area for long, but went straight to the underground experimental base deep in Forest of Death.
As he walked down the spiral staircase, he was greeted by the pungent smell in the air.
Orochimaru is standing in front of the experimental table, holding a test tube in his hand. The test tube is filled with light green liquid, which glows with a cold luster under the light of the wall lamp.
"Here we come." Orochimaru didn't look back, his voice was flat and hoarse.
Uchiha Jun walked to the experimental table, glanced at the various instruments and scrolls on the table, and said straight to the point, "The war is about to break out in full force. These experimental equipment must be transferred to Land of Hot Water."
"I'm quite interested in those niggas from Kumogakure. Also, do you know the whereabouts of Kinkaku Ginkaku's body?"
As the strong Kage Level who could eat Nine-Tails's flesh and blood alive without dying, but got Nine-Tails Chakra as a blessing in disguise, Uchiha Jun also immediately noticed the horns on their heads.
Combining the intelligence of these two people, Uchiha Jun reasonably speculates that these two guys may have experienced a rare atavism.
And the return was not close, it was returned to Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hamura!
Otherwise, it cannot be explained that the two of them were able to eat Nine-Tails Chakra raw, and that Kinkaku was able to enter the relatively deep stage of Six-Tails!
From this we can know that Kumogakure has some elements of outstanding people.
Orochimaru turned around, his golden vertical pupils flashing in the dim light, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Oh? I thought you would choose to stay at Konoha and continue your little actions of 'family revolution'."
"Those things don't matter."
Uchiha Jun pulled up a stool and sat down, took the fresh experimental data and looked through it, "The opportunity has come, we can't waste it. Kumogakure and those reckless guys can just use it to test the results of this period and start the next project."
Orochimaru did not refute, but placed the test tube in his hand on the shelf, turned around and walked towards the depths of the experimental area.
After a while, he took out an ancient yellowed scroll and spread it out on the table.
The scroll is covered with dense patterns of techniques, the structure is extremely complex, and the edges are somewhat damaged, but the core pattern is still clearly visible.
"This is the fragment of the secret technique I told you before."
Orochimaru pointed at several key nodes, "I used the data of Seven-Tails's armor Kara and Hero Water to make some improvements to this fragment - if this secret technique is used in conjunction with Compound No. 1, theoretically, the absorption cycle of the secret medicine can be further shortened and the absorption efficiency improved."
"The original one Compound No. 1 can be further diluted while ensuring the effect, so that one can be used as two."
"It can be regarded as an improved process. The same raw material can be used to make two."
Uchiha Jun's eyes stayed on that technique diagram for a moment, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Uchiha Jun A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Not bad, just in time."
He stood up, walked to the experimental table, and put a mission scroll in his hand on the table. "Tomorrow morning, the vanguard will set off. How do you plan to transport this batch of equipment?"
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, then stretched out his hands to form a complicated Indian pose.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang--!
A huge cloud of white smoke exploded in the laboratory.
After the smoke dissipated, a giant python that was completely black and as thick as a small house was entangled in the center of the experimental area, its golden vertical pupils shining coldly in the dim light.
"Swallow all the equipment, materials and scrolls here and don't digest them." Orochimaru ordered the giant python.
The giant python spit out the snake's message and let out a few low hisses. Then it squirmed and began to use its tail to gently roll up the instruments one by one, swallowing them all into its belly.
Uchiha Jun looked at the giant python working methodically like a living truck, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - Orochimaru's training ability is really something.
About an hour later, the entire laboratory was evacuated, leaving only the empty stone platform and walls.
Orochimaru put away Summoning Scroll and turned to look at Uchiha Jun: "Okay, things here are over for now. Are you ready?"
"Of course." Uchiha Jun nodded, his tone relaxed and casual, "Uchiha Clan's interior has been cleaned up. I have that old thing under control in Setsuna. There are plenty of places for him to 'shine' on the battlefield."
Orochimaru did not answer, but a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
With his IQ, he can naturally guess what Uchiha Jun means by "radiating heat" - "waste utilization" on the battlefield not only eliminates hidden dangers within the clan, but also creates trouble for Kumogakure. If the corpses can be recovered and researched, it will be a multi-purpose achievement.
"However, there is something I have to remind you." Orochimaru suddenly spoke, his tone becoming more solemn, "Kumogakure, the new Fourth Raikage A... is different."
"Why is it different?"
"His Lightning Style: Chakra Mode is exactly the same as his father's, and even surpasses him in some aspects. More importantly, he has Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Blue B by his side. That guy's Tailed Beast Transformation is very high."
Orochimaru's eyes fell on Uchiha Jun's face, "Are you sure you are sure to deal with them?"
Uchiha Jun grinned, with a hint of confidence that only he himself knew. "Don't worry, I have been prepared."
'I will change it into Thunder Yamata no Orochi and show it to you.'
Orochimaru stared at him for two seconds and did not ask any more questions.
Early the next morning, at the main entrance square of Konoha, the assembled troops had already lined up.
Uchiha Jun stood at the front of the Uchiha Clan team, followed by Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Enjin, Uchiha Tieya and other Uchiha Clan elites, as well as the old guys from the Uchiha Setsuna faction controlled by Genjutsu.
His eyes swept over everyone present--
Uchiha Fugaku's expression was calm, but there was a trace of excitement that could not be concealed deep in his eyes; Uchiha Enjin and Uchiha Tieya were talking in low voices, both with a calmness that belonged to Elite Jonin.
The whole team has high morale.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the viewing platform of Hokage Building and delivered a brief pre-war mobilization speech.
The general meaning is nothing more than "protect Konoha", "carry forward Will of Fire", "wish you all good luck in martial arts" and the like.
Before the large army set off, Uchiha Jun found Uchiha Fugaku and handed a Sealing Scroll to him.
"Clan leader, take this."
Uchiha Fugaku took the scroll and opened it - there were ten pale golden Compound No. 1 neatly arranged inside.
