Chapter 181 Orochimaru Is Just My Ally, I Don't Need to Be Responsible for Him

Three hours later, Orochimaru put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, and praised: "I didn't expect, Uchiha Yu, your cooking skills are so good. It really made me want to stop, and I accidentally ate too much."

Miwa Masashi slammed the table angrily: "That's too much, meow, Orochimaru, you've eaten all my cat food too!"

Orochimaru laughed loudly and apologized: "I'm sorry, Miwa Masato, your cat rice is so delicious, I ate it all without noticing."

"I'm willing to compensate, whatever you want, no problem."

"Really meow?"

"Really, I, Orochimaru, never discount my promise."

"I want...oooo..."

Before Miwa Masashi could say anything, she was hugged by Uchiha Yuu and put a small dried fish into the kitten's mouth, interrupting her words.

He hugged the raccoon cat and said to Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru, it's inappropriate for you to lie to my cat Sennin like this."

Orochimaru's smile continued, and he said to Uchiha Yu: "My guess is indeed correct. It is you who makes the decision between you two."

Uchiha Yu smiled and said nothing.

Orochimaru knew that although the Uchiha in front of him was only 19 years old, there was a real old fox living in his heart. He was a ninja who was completely uncontrollable.

Otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't have deliberately eaten Neko-Sennin's food, and used the opportunity to make excuses when Neko-Senri was angry, trying to obtain Uchiha Yu's information in a roundabout way.

Now that the attempt failed, Uchiha Yu blocked Neko Sennin's mouth in time.

So Orochimaru stopped wasting time and said, "I came to you to get your help, and I also need to confirm some information."

"You were the one who killed Shimura Danzo, right?"

"Well, it's me."

"Hiss~~"

When Orochimaru received the order from the Third Hokage and learned that Shimura Danzo was dead, he guessed that it was Uchiha Yu who did it. After all, he himself also played a role in this matter.

But when he learned that Shimura Danzo was killed by a Wooden ninja and understood the consequences of the conflict between the Wooden ninja and the Leaf Village, Orochimaru was completely shocked.

He couldn't see how frightened he was, but he could see how frightened the other jounin who were qualified to know were.

So Orochimaru subconsciously overturned his judgment. After all, it was Wood Release. How could an Uchiha ninja master Wood Release?

However, as the emotions of true love gradually passed, Orochimaru ruled out other possibilities, and finally connected the Wooden Ninja and Uchiha Yuu.

He also held out a glimmer of hope that maybe the killing of Shimura Danzo was the result of a collaboration between the Senju Ninja who had awakened the Wood Release and Uchiha Yuu, just like the current collaboration between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Because of this suspicion, Orochimaru deliberately returned early. He wanted to know specific information before he could determine his next strategy.

Before becoming Hokage, whether his political ally was Yuu Uchiha alone, or an alliance between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, the difference was too big for Orochimaru, and he had to be cautious.

Now Orochimaru finally knows that it was Uchiha Yu who mastered the Wood Release and then killed Shimura Danzo.

While surprised by Uchiha Yu's strength, Orochimaru also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Uchiha Yuu combines the advantages of Senju and Uchiha and is stronger than expected, this also shows that he is not a spokesperson promoted by a certain alliance.

If he is the spokesperson of the Senju and Uchiha alliance, then he must serve the interests of the alliance, and the alliance itself is synonymous with instability, and even the squeeze points of interests may change at any time.

In Orochimaru's eyes, Uchiha Yuu's brain is invincible, and coupled with his super strength, he can definitely firmly control the Uchiha family.

Then he will have strong stability, and as his ally, he will be very reliable.

Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction.

After laughing for a while, he put away his smile and asked seriously: "Uchiha Yu, I hope to invite you to support me in becoming the Fourth Hokage. Do you agree?"

Uchiha Yuya sat upright and replied seriously: "I promise: I will support Orochimaru and support him to become the Fourth Hokage, even if the Third Hokage opposes it."

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed and he murmured: "Even if the teacher objects? Are you sure that Sarutobi-sensei will object to me becoming the fourth generation..."

After a slight hesitation, Orochimaru's eyes regained their determination, and he continued: "I promise: after I become the Fourth Hokage, I will recruit an Uchiha as my disciple."

"My first disciple after the Thousand-Armed Rope Tree."

Uchiha Yu raised his right hand, stared at Orochimaru closely, and asked in a questioning tone: "Is the covenant completed?"

Orochimaru also raised his right hand and looked at Uchiha Yu calmly. Their hands clapped together and made a snapping sound.

Then he said in an affirmative tone: "The covenant is reached!"

These two people, respectively the leader of the new generation of the Hokage line and the leader of the new generation of the Uchiha family, ignored the third generation of Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku and reached an alliance in their own names.

This covenant can probably be called the coup breaker's covenant.

Of course, as they each replace the current leader of their own forces, this covenant can also be called the Fourth Generation Hokage Covenant.

After the agreement was concluded, and after they had eaten and drank enough, Orochimaru said goodbye and left.

He quietly returned to Konoha Village by himself, used the loopholes in the barrier to sneak in, and secretly met Uchiha Yu.

The reason why Orochimaru went to such trouble was so that he could hide it from the Third Hokage and have substantive contact with Uchiha Yu.

It can be seen that he was very wary of his teacher in his heart, so he chose to act secretly.

Therefore, after the matter was discussed and the alliance was confirmed, Orochimaru had to leave Konoha Village as soon as possible, return to the camp of Yuno Country before anyone discovered it, and continue to complete the handover of the work.

Afterwards, follow the normal procedures and return to Konoha Village openly.

After more than three hours, Uchiha Yu stood at the door to see someone off again.

He watched Orochimaru's figure disappear into the darkness and said with a smile: "Tonight, Orochimaru will be exhausted."

Miwa Masayo yawned and complained: "I hate the conversation between you two, nya. You never tell the whole story when you talk. I feel sleepy when I listen to it, nya."

"Sorry for delaying your practice time."

"I'm sorry..., Yuu, I remembered! Orochimaru ate my cat rice, and he wanted to compensate me. If you messed with it, you have to compensate me, nya!"

"Okay, what do you want Lihuajiang?"

"Dried small fish, ten pieces, no, 20 pieces, meow."

"no problem."

"Meow? Did I ask for too little, meow?"

Uchiha Yu laughed loudly. He closed the courtyard door, paid the compensation, and prepared to start practicing at night.

After putting away the delicious dried fish, Miwa Masashi ate one immediately. The delicious food defeated all doubts and unhappiness.

The Cat Immortal walked out the door in a happy mood. She also practiced Xiao Yue at night, and she had to try to enter the state of the bright moon in the night sky. Time was precious.

When he walked to the door, Miwa Masashi remembered a question, so he turned around and asked: "Yu, have you figured out how to help Orochimaru become Hokage?"

Uchiha Yuu was stunned and asked: "Why do you ask this question?"

"I'm just curious, meow. From your perspective, I don't know what to do, so I'm curious about what plan you have, meow."

"You are overthinking, Lihuajiang, I have no plan."

"Meow? Yuu, don't you always have plans, meow?"

"It's not that exaggerated. I'm not a wise man who can do anything. And I won't interfere with Orochimaru's affairs. He is my ally, not my subordinate."

"Ah? But, but what if Orochimaru fails, nya?"

"Hey, what does Orochimaru's failure have to do with me? I support him becoming the Fourth Hokage, but I don't guarantee that he will become the Fourth Hokage. In the final analysis, it still depends on his own efforts and determination."

Miwa Masashi couldn't help but turned around and walked back. He stared at Uchiha Yu's face carefully for a while before he said with certainty: "It turns out that Yu thinks Orochimaru may fail, nya."

"How is this possible, meow?"

"It's possible that Orochimaru may seem cold and ruthless, but in fact he has quite delicate emotions and loves the people closest to him very much, even to the extent that he is willing to sacrifice himself."

"I can't tell you at all, meow."

"That's because there are too few people who can enter his heart. There are only four people, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Senju Nōju."

"Oh, one is dead, and there are only three left."

"As long as these three people resolutely infringe on Orochimaru's interests, he will show resistance in a vicious manner and then give up the interests in a stupid way."

"I can't understand it, but what are we going to do?"

"Simple, I just need to bet more."

"Namikaze Minato-nya?"

"Well, it's him."

"It's so complicated, I don't want to think about it anymore, meow."

Miwa Masashi clarified one problem, but had several more questions that he couldn't figure out. He finally decided to give up his brain and practice according to his instincts.

[Meow, maybe after transforming into a human, your brain will be enough, meow. Don’t waste time now, meow. 】

It was late at night, but the shrill cries of the civet cat resounded through the night sky, gradually getting louder as the full moon rose, causing countless neighbors to have nightmares.

…

Before dawn, Uchiha Yu opened the door and stood on the treetops in the yard with Masashi Miwa, facing the east and absorbing the purple energy of the morning sun.

After sunrise, Miwa Masashi went to find a place to sleep, while Uchiha Yuu went to Uchiha Shisui's house.

After being away for nearly a year, the Uchiha family has also undergone a lot of changes. He doesn't know where the ninjutsu and tactics learning club is now, nor who is in charge.

Uchiha Yuu could only go to Uchiha Shisui. After all, Shisui hadn't gone to ninja school yet. He had spent this year in the study club, so he must know the situation very well.

On the way, he greeted the neighbors who got up early and received a lot of complaints about the meowing cats. He received a lot of smiles and bought a lot of extra breakfast to apologize.

Uchiha Yu ate all the breakfast and began to think about buying another house just for Miwa Masayo to have fun at night.

[Just like I thought before, buy it next to the Sarutobi family and make a fuss. 】

It might have been a joking idea before, but now Uchiha Yu is seriously considering it.

This time when Uchiha Yu killed Shimura Danzo, he was worried that he would have a special way to fight back, so he mercifully gave him a happy death.

But what I didn't expect was that such a big thing could be easily handled by the Third Hokage, so that the whole incident was not fermented enough to implicate Uchiha Yu's first target, the Sarutobi family.

This real No. 1 family in Konoha Village is still like a giant crocodile under the water, quietly shrinking under the water, hiding its huge and fat body perfectly without any flaws.

Seeing that his plan failed, Uchiha You felt it was a pity and wanted to provoke the Sarutobi family by moving.

It's not because his reward is not as good as Sarutobi Asuma, absolutely not!

Uchiha You is considering the future Fourth Hokage!

Only by constantly tossing and making the Third Hokage's reputation continue to decline, can the power of the Hokage be fully grasped in the hands when the Fourth Hokage ascends the throne, avoiding being sidelined or even restored.

In fact, the best way is for Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation to become negative, and he failed to pass the vote of confidence in the Senior Ninja Conference, and he had to resign voluntarily.

In this way, those ninjas who support Sarutobi Hiruzen will take the initiative to cut off with him, and their position will become against the Third Hokage continuing to be in power, and they will become the most radical and resolute group of people.

With this group of political enemies who knew the Third Hokage best, Sarutobi Hiruzen lost Shimura Danzo and did not have the strength to suppress the ninja village alone, so he had no chance of turning over.

Even if the Fourth Hokage had an accident, the next step would be for everyone to choose the Fifth Hokage, and the Third Hokage would not have anything to do with it anyway.

When Uchiha You came to Shisui's house, the door of his house was already open, and the hired servants were already sweeping the ground in front of the door.

These servants were all lower-level clansmen of the Uchiha family, and they were very familiar with Uchiha You. They told him that Master Shisui had gone out for a run and would not be back for a while.

"You, you can go find the old housekeeper Xin Yin, he is drinking tea in the yard."

As this guy said, he winked and hinted to Uchiha You that old man Xin Yin had been very unhappy these days, and it was because of him that he was unhappy.

Uchiha You knew it in his heart, and it was his fault that he did not say hello and clashed with the clan leader at the banquet, and was put in confinement, disrupting their plan to take over the study club.

Before last night, Uchiha You was indeed worried about how to explain to Uchiha Xinyin, but after the envoy of the Fugaku clan leader came, the plan had been achieved in advance, so naturally there was no need to explain anything.

So he walked into Shisui's house easily, and after seeing Uchiha Xinyin, he sat opposite him without hesitation, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and drank a big sip without fear of the heat.

Old man Xinyin was stunned when he saw Uchiha You. When he finished a cup of tea, he guessed what happened. The old man's gloomy mood quickly improved, and he asked happily: "Did the clan leader lift your confinement?"

Uchiha You nodded and said: "Someone was sent to inform me last night."

"In addition, the Fugaku clan leader also appointed me as the president of the study club, and I will take office today."

"What?" Old man Xinyin jumped up from the recliner excitedly and asked: "Is this true?"

"Really." Uchiha You quickly pulled the old man and asked him to sit back.

When we first met last year, the old man was already in his eighties. Even if Uchiha You used medicine and dried fish to help him recover, he couldn't jump around.

Uchiha Xinyin's mood at this time can no longer be said to be good, but the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and the beauty is bubbling.

Since Uchiha You returned from the Land of Hot Springs, he and the two elders have been worried for several days, but they can't think of a way to convince the clan leader to agree to let Uchiha You take charge of the study meeting again.

As a result, Uchiha You and Fugaku had a big fight at the banquet, and he severely contradicted the clan leader. After being locked up for seven days, the problem was actually solved.

Suddenly the old man took a breath, looked at Uchiha You and asked: "You boy, is this also your plan?"

This question confused Uchiha You, and he quickly shook his head to deny: "Of course not, how could it be possible, I am not a god."

"At that time, I was forced to the point by Uchiha Setsuna. I thought that I was the leader of many people, and I had to stand up and not admit defeat and embarrass you, so I took action against Setsuna."

"My method was very obscure. I thought that Uchiha Setsuna and others would not be able to find evidence, so they could only take this loss, and the matter would be over."

"I never thought that Setsuna's youngest son would be so stupid that he dared to yell at me directly just because he suspected something, and ended up making the matter completely worse."

"Old man, you should have heard about the following things from Ryunosuke and Yuichiro."

"I have heard about it."

Uchiha Xinyin listened to Uchiha You's explanation and description, combined with the information he had learned in advance, and determined that Uchiha You did not plan it in advance.

So he was finally relieved.

As the news of Uchiha You's performance on the battlefield came back, the exaggerated record made the two elders and Xin Yin start to worry whether Uchiha You would become arrogant.

Fortunately, his performance after returning was the same as when he left, which made the three people feel relieved, but the sudden outburst a few days ago made them start to worry about Uchiha You's mental state.

Now they are finally completely relieved.

Then old man Xin Yin sighed and said, "Setsuna's son is really stupid. He has no sense at all. It's so disappointing."

Uchiha You shook his head and said, "It's not stupidity, but the arrogance and naivety unique to the second generation of power."

"But I think this is more terrible than simple stupidity, and it's even hopeless."

"Old man, I'm telling you in advance. I will be ruthless to the second generation of the elders who are hopeless."

Uchiha Xinyin was stunned. He asked uncertainly: "Are you going to kill them?"

Uchiha You replied: "For the safety and future of the Uchiha family, I have to be ruthless."

"Why? What is the reason that forced you to do such an extreme?"

"Old man, since you are not strong enough, I can't tell you the reason."

"Please believe that I am not a bloodthirsty bastard. If the threat level decreases in the future, I will let them go."

Uchiha Xinyin was silent for a long time before saying: "I believe you."
