"Lord Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to still be in the Land of Fire."
In the forest a few kilometers away from the wooden house guarded by the Department of Security, Kei Uchiha looked at the man in front of him indifferently.
Apart from his skin being a little too fair, the man looked just like an ordinary ninja.
But his aura tells Kei Uchiha that this guy is not simple.
Kei Uchiha, who has fought with Orochimaru many times, almost immediately concluded that the man in front of him is Orochimaru.
"Minister Okui didn't go to the front line, this is really a little surprising."
Orochimaru showed a smile, but his voice was still as hoarse as ever.
"But think about it, as the leader of the largest and most powerful force in Wood Leaf, I am afraid you still need to settle the internal affairs of Wood Leaf."
"Almost, in fact, it doesn't matter if I go to the battlefield or not, because Uchiha Tomiyama can handle all of this by himself."
Kei Uchiha's voice is still so indifferent: "After all, he has the same eyes as me, and even more advanced than mine."
More advanced Mangekyou Sharingan?
When Orochimaru heard this news, his eyes suddenly became dim, this news is really interesting.
In Orochimaru's view, Mangekyou Sharingan is actually an extreme and incredible power.
This kind of power, even he is a little addicted to it.
But for various reasons, he doesn't dare to attack the people of the Uchiha Clan, the main reason is that he doesn't want to have a falling out with a guy like Kei Uchiha.
Not to mention whether he can win or not, of course, this is also a key factor.
Orochimaru is still not sure what the full power of Kei Uchiha is.
Even if he has witnessed the destruction caused by Kei Uchiha in the Mist Village, as a ninja, he must be vigilant. God knows if this guy is hiding something else.
Towards Kei Uchiha, he had always been wary of him.
However, cooperating with Kei Uchiha was a win-win situation for him. He didn't want to break this delicate balance.
Although sometimes he felt like he was at a disadvantage, he always felt like he was being used by Kei Uchiha.
But what he got was exactly what he expected, and wasn't he using another method to make use of Kei Uchiha?
It could only be said that the two of them were constantly squeezing out each other's value.
It was just that Kei Uchiha was really good at grasping people's hearts. He was very clear about what he wanted.
It could be said that they were evenly matched.
"Well, Lord Orochimaru, I don't know why you came to me this time?"
Hearing Kuroto's question, Uchiha Ki asked coldly, "Have you already found the traces of the ancestors of the Hyuga Clan that I mentioned to you before?"
"No, not yet." Orochimaru shook his head.
"Recently, a big conflict broke out between Wood Leaf and Cloud Village. Even the Land of Fire was a bit abnormal. Although it was chaotic, there were a lot of ninjas. Even I have to be careful."
"Lord Orochimaru must be joking. The reason why you disguised like this is probably to avoid some trouble, right?"
Kei Uchiha tilted his head, he didn't believe Orochimaru's nonsense.
When this guy went to Wood Leaf to take the Chunin Exam in the original work, he disguised as a Jonin and changed his clothes.
So unscrupulous and swaggering, it would be a lie to say that he was afraid. This guy really wasn't afraid of anything, right?
And now, he probably just wanted to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
For example, Jiraiya has been chasing him for almost two years. This guy may be annoyed to death.
"Maybe." Orochimaru didn't deny it, then he smiled slightly: "Is Minister Qi here waiting for the Kumo Shinobu's raid?"
"Huh?" Kei Uchiha's face changed slightly, then he showed a touch of playfulness.
"Lord Orochimaru's intelligence system is really good. Although there are reasons for guessing, I don't think Lord Orochimaru found me just because of guessing. Tell me, Lord Orochimaru, what did you find?"
"Indeed, I won't come to Minister Qi just because of some unfounded guesses."
Orochimaru licked his lips slightly, it looked so strange.
"When I tried to complete Minister Qi's task, I happened to notice a group of ninjas coming in the direction of Wood Leaf, and according to my judgment, those people must be Kumo Shinobu, because there are some acquaintances among them."
"Acquaintances?" Kei Uchiha nodded slightly, it seems that Orochimaru confirmed something.
It's not difficult to imagine that he was one of the members who dealt with Kumo.
Even after he was transferred to Jiraiya, Po Shui Mun defeated Yondaime Raikage and Hachibi Zhuli.
Therefore, it's not surprising that this guy knows some people in Kumo, but what makes Kei Uchiha curious is how many people Kumo sent.
What kind of people did they send? Where were they now?
However, Kei Uchiha didn't ask directly, because he knows that Orochimaru will definitely use such information to try to exchange for something.
Orochimaru is definitely the kind of person who doesn't get up early without benefits, especially this guy's relationship with him, it's basically a cooperation model of mutual use.
This guy has what he wants in his hands, if he doesn't use it to exchange for more he wants, I'm afraid that Kei Uchiha won't believe it.
"Say it, I don't know what conditions Lord Orochimaru has to give me this information."
Kei Uchiha's expression is still indifferent, it even looks like he doesn't care much.
"This is a big fish, Minister Qi."
Orochimaru licked his lips, he didn't care about Kei Uchiha's expression at all: "Of course, I am willing to give this information to Minister Qi, but there is a premise."
"You know, I don't like to beat around the bush."
Kei Uchiha nodded slightly: "Tell me your conditions, I will consider it."
"Really?" Orochimaru glanced at Kei Uchiha strangely, this guy doesn't like to beat around the bush?
But Kuroto didn't care about it, his expression became a little serious: "I want to know what is the limit of the Mangekyou Sharingan, or rather, what is your limit, Minister Qi?"
Limit?
The limit of power?
Kei Uchiha tilted his head slightly, his eyes looking at Orochimaru seemed to be full of playfulness.
After Kuroto activated some of this guy's characteristics in advance, he seems to be more and more curious about the power of the Sharingan.
Or rather, he seems to be paying more attention to the power of the Mangekyou.
It's a pity that he has two Sharingan in his hands.
Even if he tries his best, I'm afraid that he can only raise his power to Three Magatama at most, right?
The state of the Mangekyou requires extreme emotions to transform into the power of the Yin Release.
To put it bluntly, it's the kind of stimulation that can force a person to become a psychopath, whether it's fear or extreme despair.
Keiko Uchiha personally forced two people to activate the Mangekyou, and he himself had a similar experience.
The two pairs of eyes don't have a host at all, which basically negates the possibility of their evolution.
Even if the Sharingan is placed on someone else, this kind of thing is basically impossible to achieve, even if it's a member of the Uchiha Clan.
However, this kind of thing can't be said to be 100% certain. After all, in the future, there will be a person with a special physique that will not reject any tissue transplanted into his body. Uchiha believes that Uchiha will be able to do so.
As for how this guy activated the Mangekyou, Kei Uchiha is really curious.
But this kid, I'm afraid that he hasn't been discovered yet, right?
Kei Uchiha doesn't know to what extent the Sharingan in Orochimaru's hands has reached, perhaps it has reached the level where the Three Magatama began to look forward to the power of the Mangekyou.
Perhaps he is simply curious about the future potential of the Mangekyou.
But for Kei Uchiha, this request is really not too difficult.
If he can leave a deep impression on this guy and let him know what stage he is in now, then he won't dare to have any evil thoughts.
Thinking of this, Kei Uchiha showed a mysterious smile: "Are you sure you want to see my limit?"
"Minister Suiko must be joking, but there is one thing that I really mean."
Orochimaru's face became serious, and even his pupils that have been disguised as black couldn't help bursting with a touch of madness.
"That is, I am really curious about what level the Mangekyou can reach, is it the same as the legend …"
"The same horror?" Kei Uchiha interrupted Orochimaru's words.
He closed his eyes slightly, but when he opened them the next moment, his eyes have become a strange Mangekyou.
Especially under his Mangekyou pattern, there is a faint double image.
"In that case, I naturally can't let Lord Orochimaru down."
Kei Uchiha's voice seems a little cold, and even Orochimaru has a feeling of chills.
"I don't know if Lord Orochimaru knows that there was a canyon at the border of Wood Leaf that was completely changed, and even the spread of the war has not been able to completely restore the surrounding area."
"I have heard a little."
Orochimaru nodded and looked at Kei Uchiha who has a dark Chakra on his body.
He suddenly asked, "Could it be … that place has something to do with Minister Qi?"
"Ah, something like that." Kei Uchiha slightly nodded.
The dark Chakra on his body has become thicker and thicker, and the Chakra has completely transformed into the shape of a giant.
As his Chakra continued to spread, his body also began to float.
Orochimaru quietly watched the scene before him, cold sweat has appeared on his forehead.
However, the fanaticism in his eyes is also becoming more and more serious. Not long after, a black giant over 100 meters tall appeared before him.
The cold and oppressive aura kept spreading towards Orochimaru. At that moment, Orochimaru felt like the Grim Reaper is beckoning him!
"To be precise, those are the traces left behind by my battle with Uchiha Tomiyama."
Kei Uchiha's voice is as calm and clear as ever, but in Orochimaru's ears, this voice is bone-chilling!
"This is the power I control, this is the power of the Kaleidoscope. Lord Orochimaru, you can be curious, you can have your own thoughts.
However, Lord Orochimaru, you must remember, in front of these eyes, you have no secrets to speak of! "
…
"What were you doing just now?"
Aya Hyuga frowned as she looked at Kei Uchiha on a small path leading to Final Valley.
Not long ago, before Kei Uchiha could finish his words, he suddenly stopped. Then, he created a shadow clone and silently left the place.
Although Aya Hyuga was puzzled, her first thought was how to help Kei Uchiha cover up everything.
It's just that what Kei Uchiha did is more excessive than she imagined.
Not to mention a perceptual ninja like her, even ordinary ninjas can clearly feel that cold and gloomy Chakra fluctuation.
Maybe some people think that it's just their illusion, after all, this feeling came and went quickly.
But some people feel that the situation is not quite right, because this aura is too terrifying and too strong.
But at least Kei Uchiha has a bit of a brain, he left very far away.
This distance is completely out of the detection range of Byakugan, and he didn't bring any perceptual ninjas with him.
Therefore, Aya Hyuga is not worried that Kei Uchiha will expose anything.
The only thing she is curious about now is what Kei Uchiha did.
Especially since this guy came back and immediately led a team, it's obvious that this guy met someone, and may even be on the verge of a fight.
But in the end, they didn't fight, otherwise it wouldn't be so calm.
And Kei Uchiha should have gotten enough information to lead them away from their current position and march towards a new discovery.
"I met Orochimaru."
Uchiha Ki glanced at the members around him and said in a low voice.
"He came to me, face-to-face, he wanted to see my limit and gave me some information."
"See your limit? I remember that you gave him the Sharingan, is it … "
Aya Hyuga frowned, obviously she thought of something not so good.
"Don't worry, he can't, at least not now."
Kei Uchiha shook his head indifferently: "If it's that simple, why in the entire Uchiha Clan, only Uchiha Tomiyama and I have this ability?
As time passes, maybe the ancestors also have this ability, but after all, the difficulty is really hard to imagine. "
"Is that so?"
Aya Hyuga thought for a while and finally nodded: "But it's still better to be careful, after all, Orochimaru has never been easy to deal with."
Kei Uchiha nodded slightly, but soon he felt a little surprised, and then his face showed a little smile.
Is this considered caring for me?
It seems that this kind of care is not uncommon, right?
Kei Uchiha silently thought, but he was too lazy to say anything.
It was better to keep some topics vague.
When some things were really exposed, their nature would become very strange.
Kei Uchiha doesn't want such a thing to happen, and the temporary silence is very necessary.
But he doesn't know it himself, he seems to be very used to this feeling, although it's ordinary, it's also very real.
Slightly shaking his head, Kei Uchiha stopped himself from thinking about these things, time is the best tool to help him find answers.
And now he has more important things to do, that is, to deal with these guys who intend to destroy the Wood Leaf.
Of course, there are still some regrets in his heart.
That is, why can't Aya Hyuga maintain the Sage Mode for a long time …
…
"Captain, in front of us is the Valley of the End."
On the edge of the cliff, a Kumo Shinobu pointed to the waterfall in front of them and said.
Tutai looked at the waterfall in front of him, the huge statue looked majestic under the setting sun.
These two statues are naturally the ones who ended the troubled times, Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju.
However, the relationship between these two is also very contradictory, because according to various information, they seem to have been constantly changing between enemies and friends.
Although the hands of the two statues made the "Peace Seal" at the same time, did their relationship really reconcile?
Shaking his head, Tutai was too lazy to look at the two statues.
These two people have long died, although the legend said that they were extremely terrifying.
But in the end, Tutai didn't have any idea, and he wasn't interested in figuring out such a concept.
Although he admitted that these two people's actions were great, they ended the troubled times.
However, the product of the era they created had ushered in an era that was bloodier, more terrifying, and on a larger scale, causing more casualties.
During the Warring States period, although there was always war.
But the war was basically a family unit, and everyone knew the actual number of people who participated in the war.
Although it was very miserable at that time, and the average life expectancy was only 30 or 40, the number of people who died wasn't as many as now.
And now?
With the country as a unit and the village as a stronghold, the war machine Ninjas were constantly cultivated.
They were disciplined and strong, and the damage they caused was really more terrible than a family unit.
"Let's go."
Tutai looked at the two statues for the last time, then waved his hand.
"We took such a big circle, but fortunately, we have basically met the requirements of their mission. After this canyon, we will find a place to rest for the night, and tomorrow we will enter Wood Leaf. Don't worry, I have already planned it."
"Yes, Captain!"
All the Kumo Shinobu nodded, then once again protected Tutai in the center and began to move.
To be honest, at the beginning, they really didn't like Tutai so much.
Because he directly denied the route they had planned beforehand, and directly led them to take a detour.
But his explanation made these Kumo Shinobu feel a little relieved, but this is far from enough.
After all, Tutai is not their direct captain, and he is fundamentally different from them.
Tutai has always been standing in the "Cloud of Power", it can be said that he rarely participated in the mission.
And all of them are Ninjas, there is a huge gap in their status.
Maybe they will respect Tutai in their hearts, but the situation will be very different if they really participate in the mission with him.
Because they have to divert part of their attention to protect him, which will affect their actions and combat.
But along the way, Tutai has shown his value.
Along the way, they almost bypassed all the checkpoints of Wood Leaf, even if they directly encountered him, he would command them in a variety of ways.
This prevented them from being consumed in advance, and also prevented them from being detected by Wood Leaf.
And they are also experienced Ninjas, they clearly noticed that there seems to be fewer Ninjas nearby.
No, it should be said that they don't seem to have reached the state of war defense, which is obviously a bit abnormal.
So, could it be that these ninjas were actually sent to the other side to defend, which is the direction they originally planned to go?
With this discovery, these Kumo Shinobu have basically been convinced by Tutai's ability and personality charm.
With this guy, they are indeed safer, and they seem to see the hope of going back alive!
No one has no desire to survive, although they have accepted such a mission, but deep in their hearts, they also have the hope of survival.
With such a command, it can really make them safer, and they naturally recognize this commander more.
But what all of them didn't expect was that when they jumped down from the statue in the Valley of the End and moved in the direction of Wood Leaf.
They suddenly found that not far from them, a man was standing there with his back to them.
The man has short black hair, and his black combat suit was stained with some snowflakes.
The most important thing is that on the back of the man's combat suit, there is a red and white circular fan logo, this logo belongs to the Uchiha Clan!
All the Kumo Shinobu stopped at the same time, looking at Uchiha in the distance, their faces showed different expressions.
Some were shocked, some were frightened, even Tutai was a little surprised, but he still remained very calm.
He quickly gave the Kumo Shinobu around him a "get ready to fight" look, then he walked forward alone.
His face was also replaced with a friendly smile, looking harmless to both humans and animals.
"Mr. Ninja, I don't know why you are here …" Tutai asked curiously: "I'm Yamamoto Taito, from the country of hot water, and I plan to go to Wood Leaf."
After the Uchiha ninja heard his words, he slowly turned around, and Tutai also saw the face of this Uchiha ninja.
At this moment, Tutai's heart suddenly couldn't help but twitch.
The Uchiha ninja in front of him is very young, he seems to be 16 or 17 years old.
His skin is very white, and he looks very handsome.
But this is the face that Tutai doesn't want to see the most, because this guy is Kei Uchiha, the head of the Wood Leaf Department of Security!
"Really?" Kei Uchiha's voice is very soft, it sounds like he is talking to an old friend: "You are from the country of hot water, Yamamoto Taito? But why do I think it would be better to call you Tutai? "
"Oh no …"
Tutai heard Kei Uchiha's words can't help but become more nervous, but his face showed a touch of astonishment.
"Tutai? Is it the master of the Cloud Village? Mr. Uchiha -sama, I think you have some misunderstanding … "
"Is it a misunderstanding?" Uchiha Ki interrupted Kuroto's words with a light chuckle.
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding, but I have to admit that you are really interesting.
A spy that has been lurking for 20 years didn't dare to easily trust you, and always chose to take a detour, I have to say that you are really very careful, but … "
"Don't you think you underestimate the intelligence ability of our Wood Leaf?"
