Chapter 68 The True Alliance, Various Movements, First Encounter with Hinata!
Orochimaru stared at Shingetsu with his golden vertical pupils, his voice hoarse as he reminded him, "Since we've decided to join forces, let me tell you something. That old dog Danzo is more than he appears on the surface. He transplanted the First Hokage's cells and an unknown number of Sharingan eyes. His strength is extraordinary."
"So what? As a true Uchiha, he's not even worthy of carrying my shoes when it comes to Sharingan!" Kamui said arrogantly.
Hearing Shingetsu's confident, almost arrogant words...
Orochimaru wanted to remind him again.
But when he thought about it...
When Shen Yue fought him, he used his Sharingan with unparalleled skill.
The words that were about to come out were swallowed back down.
"I'm more interested in information about the Akatsuki than Danzo!"
In fact, Shingetsu naturally knew Akatsuki's true nature.
He just wanted to see if Orochimaru was truly cooperating with him and if he was hiding anything; it was a trap to test the other party's sincerity.
Orochimaru licked his lips with his long, thin tongue upon hearing Kamizuki's words, but did not refuse.
He took out a specially made scroll from his pocket and tossed it to Shenyue.
"Heh heh... You have quite the appetite, even interested in Akatsuki's intelligence. This contains what I know about that organization's outer outposts, some members' basic information and abilities. As for the deeper aspects, even I know only a limited amount."
Shen Yue took the scroll, unfolded it, and quickly scanned the contents with his Sharingan.
After a moment, he closed the scroll and nodded.
Although the intelligence did not involve the most core secrets, the descriptions of Kakuzu, Sasori, and Orochimaru's experiences in Akatsuki, as well as some peripheral forces, were consistent with his understanding and were not false or fabricated.
As for Payne's true identity...
Project Eye of the Moon.
And there's also Obito.
The current Orochimaru certainly doesn't know this.
"Very good." Shen Yue put the scroll away.
Orochimaru's information gave him a slight increase in confidence in the reliability of this temporary alliance.
"Heh heh, God Moon, let me see if the world you're talking about is as wonderful as you claim!" Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and sneered repeatedly.
Kabuto Yakushi watched this strange pair from behind.
It seems outrageous no matter how you look at it.
"Could I be under the influence of the Sharingan's genjutsu?" He patted his face, thinking he might be under a genjutsu.
……
At this moment, in the Third Hokage's office.
Danzo, who was busy splashing dirty water on the Uchiha clan, suddenly shivered for no apparent reason.
"Danzo, what's wrong?" The Third Hokage and his two advisors asked with concern.
Danzo's single eye swept across the cold, damp room. He tightened his collar and murmured, "Am I really getting old?"
The chill came out of nowhere, making him feel uneasy.
But soon, this unease was replaced by a stronger ambition and anxiety.
He recalled the excruciating pain of having his ear cut off, and the arrogant face of Uchiha Shingetsu.
"No, I absolutely cannot admit defeat! I must surpass Hiruzen and become the one who truly controls Konoha!" he roared in his heart.
"Time...time is running out. The Uchiha clan is becoming increasingly uncontrollable under that brat Shingetsu's instigation. I must strike first, eliminate the Uchiha, and obtain Shisui's Sharingan!" Thinking this.
Danzo took a deep breath, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"We can't delay any longer, Hiruzen. The Uchiha clan is growing stronger and stronger, and they pose an even greater threat to the village!"
"Especially that Shingetsu, he's definitely the second Madara Uchiha!"
"We must also put him under surveillance, and if necessary, kill him without mercy!" Danzo made up his mind.
Shen Yue's growth rate far exceeded his expectations.
Since the appearance of the Divine Moon.
Everything went wrong for him; he even lost an ear.
"But the Uchiha clan did not rebel. If this is discovered, it will chill the hearts of the Uchiha!" The Third Hokage still wanted to speak up to defend the Uchiha clan.
"But what if the Uchiha rebel? Will we be too slow to react?"
"To severely damage Konoha's vitality, or even destroy it?" Danzo retorted in a deep voice.
Hearing Danzo's words.
The two advisors nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we can't gamble with the village's future!"
"The Uchiha clan must be strictly controlled!"
"That Uchiha Shingetsu must be transferred out of the Konoha Police Force!"
"Alright then!" The Third Hokage could only reluctantly agree in the end.
He gave me an affirmative answer.
Danzo nodded in satisfaction.
Everything is ready!
"Next, it's that arm, the arm that can perfectly control the Sharingan and the First Hokage's cells. Orochimaru must make it for me as soon as possible! At all costs!" His single eye flashed with a cold light. For power, for achieving his goal, he was willing to pay any price.
……
Meanwhile, in the courtyard where the Cloud Village envoys were staying.
They naturally heard the huge explosion and chakra fluctuations that had come from afar earlier.
Driven by curiosity, they wanted to go out and investigate, but as soon as they reached the door, they were stopped expressionlessly by Uchiha Inahashi, Uchiha Yakumi, and others who were in charge of guarding but were actually monitoring them.
"Esteemed envoys, for your safety, please remain inside the courtyard. It may not be safe outside." Daohuo's tone was calm, but his attitude was firm.
Samui pouted, looking very angry, her long golden hair swaying slightly.
"Hmph! Is this how Konoha treats its guests? Not even allowed to go outside for a look? I'm going back to report today's events to the Fourth Raikage!"
She felt belittled and placed under house arrest.
Chloe and Troy exchanged a glance, then retreated with smiles on their faces.
After closing the door, Troy unusually spoke first, his voice low: "Konoha is unstable; there's been quite a commotion tonight. This is very advantageous for our upcoming operations."
Chloe nodded and sneered, "That's right. The more chaotic and distracted they are, the more initiative we have. This alliance might allow us to extract even more benefits from Konoha."
the next day.
As scheduled, Chloe and her group went to the Hokage Building to formally meet with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and begin alliance negotiations.
To demonstrate the importance attached to this alliance and to showcase Konoha's unity to Kumogakure, the Third Hokage specifically ordered that the heads or representatives of all the major Konoha ninja clans attend the meeting.
The atmosphere inside the spacious conference room was solemn.
On the Konoha side, the Third Hokage sat in the main seat, flanked by advisors Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura.
Below them sat representatives of various clans: Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi, Inoichi Yamanaka, and others.
Among them, the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga, even brought his young daughter, Hinata Hyuga, to the event.
Hinata followed timidly behind her father, her white eyes curiously and nervously observing the people around her.
Her appearance caused Shen Yue, who knew Yun Yin's true purpose, to have a slight flicker in her eyes.
