Konoha, Hokage Building.
In a room, four people sat side by side: Utatane Koharu Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura.
However, the topic of discussion this time was completely different from before.
Previously, they were thinking about how to suppress and restrict Uya Uya, but now they are trying their best not to provoke Uya.
During his attack on the Uchiha Clan, Uya unleashed a power that horrified even Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Admittedly, it's frightening that one person could defeat the Uchiha Clan, but what's even more frightening is the speed at which Uya defeated the Uchiha Clan!
Hiruzen Sarutobi received the information: how long would it take to rush over from the Hokage Building?
It only took a moment!
But in that short time, the Uchiha Clan was utterly crushed. It should be noted that although the Uchiha Clan cannot represent the entire Hidden Leaf Konoha, the title of the number one clan is by no means undeserved!
This power made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others realize that even if they had the strength to subdue Uya, if Uya put up any resistance, as long as it was within Konoha, it could cause massive casualties in an instant.
While Uya might not necessarily target ordinary Konoha ninjas, nothing is absolute. Who knows what might happen if they truly break ties with Uya?
This is absolutely unacceptable.
The final decision was to avoid any actions within the village that might offend Uya, such as restricting Kushina and Uya, and to completely abandon the idea of preventing Kushina and Uya from being together.
However, this decision was made by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura Utatane, and Utatane Koharu Mitokado, after setting aside personal feelings and analyzing the matter from a purely economic perspective.
Forcing Uya to defect or killing Uya would come at a far greater cost. Compared to that, even though Uya posed a threat to their rule, the only cost would be that they needed to be more careful.
People like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are willing to do anything for profit.
But precisely because of this, even as the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi would consider issues from the perspective of Konoha as a whole. Even if the events he encountered would require him to sacrifice himself Hokage, he was willing to do so if it could make Konoha better!
Because he is the Hokage, the inheritor of the Will of Fire of Konoha.
Of the four, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura also supported Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision. As long as Konoha could become more prosperous, they, as rulers, would at most give Uya some leeway.
Uya, after all, cannot live forever; he too will grow old and die one day.
Between power and Konoha, Konoha was more important to them.
Of course, the only one whose beliefs differed from the three was Danzo, Danzo did not support Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision and even strongly opposed it.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi Utatane Koharu Mitokado Homura, and he couldn't argue with it.
It wasn't that Danzo placed power above Konoha, but rather that he held the extreme belief that only by seizing power could he lead Konoha to greater prosperity!
Uya is an obstacle to his power, and he must find a way to eliminate him.
In the original story, Pain attacked Konoha and almost completely destroyed Konoha, but he remained hidden underground and did not lead the Root ninja to fight against Pain.
Instead, some held the extreme view that this was a rebirth for Konoha. They believed that if the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, had died, he could have obtained the Hokage Position, and everything could have started over and become better.
An underground area on the outskirts of Konoha.
This is Orochimaru's secret base, and also a place Uya had visited before.
Uya arrived here once again, and was greeted by Orochimaru before entering the base and arriving at Orochimaru's laboratory.
Orochimaru stood in front of Uya, holding a scroll.
"These are the research findings on soul enhancement that you requested. I've compiled the essentials and have spent the last few months studying them in depth."
Orochimaru no longer puts on a relaxed and casual demeanor in front of Uya. Instead, he looks at Uya very seriously and speaks in a cautious tone.
Orochimaru was very good at dealing with people and knew how to treat different people with different attitudes, just like when he was in the Akatsuki. However, he did not expect Uchiha Itachi to be so strong, nor did he expect that Itachi's resistance to Genjutsu had become so weak.
"Here's the Mangekyō Sharingan you requested."
Uya took the research results, put them away without even looking at them, and took out a small bottle at the same time.
Inside this small bottle is Mangekyō Sharingan Uchiha Rin Sharingan.
After Uya crushed the Uchiha Clan, Orochimaru found Uya and demanded a pair of Sharingan from Uya.
Uya had promised to help him twice before; this was the first time.
However, Uya did not Sharingan; instead, she had a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. Moreover, Uya didn't seem to care much, so she simply told Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment. Even though he was different from the original story and had not experienced the power of Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan, it did not mean that he did not have a deep understanding of the Mangekyō Sharingan!
In the original story, his attack on Uchiha Itachi was actually for the Mangekyo.
Knowing that Uya possessed a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, Orochimaru was overjoyed, disregarding the fact that the Mangekyou Mangekyo was nearly blind and difficult to use again, and directly demanded it from Uya.
Furthermore, these Mangekyo completely negated the two times Uya had promised to help him.
Uya's two attacks were certainly of extraordinary value, but in Orochimaru's view, exchanging these two Mangekyo for the Mangekyou Sharingan was worthwhile!
If these Mangekyō Sharingan could be combined with Hashirama Cells, allowing them to be used without limitations or side effects, like Obito's Kamui, they would actually be very powerful.
While sensory ninjas can ignore illusions, the ability of these eyes to manipulate light allows them to create illusions that can launch real attacks, which is quite terrifying.
To put it bluntly, these eyes could create a Peak Kage Level powerhouse.
Unfortunately, it is nearly blind, as it is an eye that has been preserved from an unknown period of time.
If Orochimaru could use Orochimaru's Hashirama Cells to restore those eyes and make them usable again, it would be of immense help to him. This ability would be very suitable for Orochimaru.
Uya didn't care that Orochimaru got those eyes.
These eyes, though powerful, are completely countered by Uya's Shockwave Sensing, and can only be used against people like the Third Hokage.
Orochimaru took the Mangekyō Sharingan from Uya's hands, his eyes revealing undisguised joy.
"This is the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan... I never expected that their clan still possessed such a thing. I thought it had disappeared after Madara Uchiha." (To be continued.)
