As Hyuga Hiashi stepped out of the Hokage's office, his face grew increasingly grim, and his gaze toward Uchiha Kei became more and more hostile.
What's this kid up to?
Why did you agree so easily?
Even with exceptional talent, how many missions can a six-year-old Hanabi endure?
Hinata's personality is simply not suited to be the head of the Hyuga Clan, and he has gradually shifted his focus to his youngest daughter.
Is this stunt going to wipe out the Hyuga Clan?
Growing angrier by the thought, Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Kei after leaving the Hokage Building.
"What were you thinking? Why did you agree to Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
In a fit of anger, Hyuga Hiashi even addressed the Hokage by his first name.
"What do you think? I should be asking the Hyuga clan leader that, since I'm just a pitiful victim."
Hyuga Hiashi paused, his expression faltering.
He's right.
To put it bluntly, this whole affair was nothing more than a scheme by Sarutobi Hiruzen and watch the tigers fight.
He desires stable rule, so a war between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans is inevitable!
Ultimately, Uchiha Kei was nothing more than a pawn in a plan.
Even without Uchiha Kei, other members of the Uchiha or Hyuga Clan would have become pawns in this game.
With a sigh, Hyuga Hiashi stopped arguing and headed straight home.
"Chief of the Hyuga clan."
Seeing Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Kei smiled.
"Um?"
Hyuga Hiashi was in a bad mood, so his tone was naturally not pleasant.
"Actually, you don't need to worry."
Uchiha Kei spoke softly.
Hyuga Hiashi turned around, his expression turning somewhat ferocious.
"Not worried? My eldest daughter has already become a ninja in the ninja squad, and now they're even targeting my youngest daughter. How can I not be worried?"
Hyuga Hiashi was filled with sorrow.
The Hyuga Clan, despite their great strength, has never been arrogant or domineering in the past.
Why does Sarutobi Hiruzen treat them like this?
Just because they claim to be strong?
"Weakness is the original sin."
Uchiha Kei straight into his eyes.
"Power is also a sin."
After saying this, he walked past Hyuga Hiashi and left, leaving behind only a casual remark.
"What Itachi, Shisui, and I want is to break this original sin and make Konoha truly belong to Konoha."
The voice was clear and cold, yet carried an undeniable authority.
"Everyone's... Konoha..."
Hyuga Hiashi watched the departing figure, lost in thought for a moment.
Sneaking back home, Uchiha Kei first cautiously looked around.
Uchiha Kei breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Mei Terumi.
"He must have gone to register at the Ninja Academy."
Uchiha Kei was in a great mood. Humming a little tune, he took off his shoes and swaggered into the room.
"Grown ups."
A sinister voice echoed from the shadows.
Uchiha Kei was startled, Sharingan activated instantly.
"Who!"
A pale face was exposed to the air, with two faint red tear troughs, a thin chin, and long hair.
"Hehe, sir, it's been so long, you didn't even recognize my voice?"
Orochimaru- red tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.
Uchiha Kei's lips twitched.
If there were no demons in the Naruto World...
He'll definitely grab his weapon!
Orochimaru, what are you doing in Konoha?
Uchiha Kei relaxed and casually sat down on the wooden floor.
Orochimaru smiled and stepped out of the shadows. "There was a beautiful lady here just now, so I had to hide."
Beautiful lady...
It should be Mei Terumi.
Uchiha Kei breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, I wandered around outside for a while before coming back, otherwise I might have been harassed.
"How is the Twilight Ninja Village doing?"
Uchiha Kei asked casually.
Orochimaru's eyes lit up at the mere mention of the Twilight Ninja Village.
"My lord, the Twilight Ninja Village is now vastly different from what it used to be. Not only Jonin increased dramatically, but under your guidance, our technological capabilities far surpass those of the current Shinobi World!"
These three years have been a period of rapid development for the Twilight Ninja Village.
Three years ago, Twilight Ninja Village was a desolate place that had been destroyed.
Three years later, the Twilight Ninja Village is a shining new star hidden in the Shinobi World!
"Oh?"
Uchiha Kei became interested.
In those three years, he only visited the Twilight Ninja Village when it was being rebuilt; he didn't go there at all.
Although Orochimaru would write to him about every two weeks, he was still somewhat unfamiliar with the current Twilight Ninja Village.
"The number of Jonin has increased dramatically? How exactly has it increased?"
Uchiha Kei was somewhat curious.
Three years ago, he handed over a modified version of Yin-Yang Release to Orochimaru, with the sole purpose of giving the Twilight Ninja Village some strength.
It's true that Yin-Yang Release is incredibly powerful.
But how many Jonin can be trained in three years?
After all, these people don't have the monstrous talent of Hashirama and Madara.
Orochimaru licked his lips. "In three years, the Twilight Ninja Village has Jonin!"
Uchiha Kei suddenly stood up.
Forty!
Jonin?
Are you kidding me?
Orochimaru was also taken aback when he saw Uchiha Kei.
Doesn't Your Excellency know the power of Yin-Yang Release?
While Uchiha Kei was shocked by the Twilight Ninja Village, a terrifying thought also arose within him.
Yin-Yang Release enabled him to become Jonin so quickly.
So, what about the current Yang Organization...?
Touching his pounding heart, Uchiha Kei was unable to calm down for a long time.
A long time.
"Call..."
Uchiha Kei breathed a sigh of relief, finally regaining his composure.
"Okay, I understand."
Uchiha Kei's gaze was somewhat distant, and the image of a strong little girl kept appearing in his mind.
"In addition..."
Orochimaru leaned closer and whispered in his ear.
"My people have already worked out the plan to sow discord between the Third Hokage and Danzo."
Uchiha Kei was not surprised.
This matter could also be considered something he arranged for Orochimaru.
Orochimaru had been in Konoha for quite some time and was one of the legendary Sannin.
During this period, he also engaged in numerous dirty dealings with Danzo.
It's normal for the Root to have a few loyal subordinates.
"Danzo has now mobilized all his resources to search for traces of the Yang Organization."
Uchiha Kei nodded. "Is there anything else?"
His mind was in turmoil, and his brain was like mush.
Orochimaru's pale face showed an unusual expression of embarrassment.
"There's something else... it's that our research funding might not be enough."
Uchiha Kei was somewhat speechless.
If Itachi and Shisui are big spenders of money, then Orochimaru is a big spender of mountains of money!
In three years, he earned a fortune that most people could not imagine.
But he really didn't have much money.
Some of it was given to Itachi to smooth things over, and some was given to Shisui to win over the Anbu.
The largest portion was given to the research institute Orochimaru established in Twilight Ninja Village.
With a sigh, Uchiha Kei waved his hand weakly, "Go find Shisui. Just tell him how much he needs."
Orochimaru, his face lighting up with excitement, vanished in a flash.
This kind of scientific research, which can be squandered at will, truly makes a snake's life worthwhile.
Uchiha Kei lay down somewhat dejectedly, his body spread out in a starfish shape.
Mass production of Jonin...
Yang Organization...
I hope it's not you.
Uchiha Kei muttered to himself, a somewhat forlorn expression on his face.
The White Bone Clan...
White Bone Momotao!
