Chapter 172 Eye Drops (4000 words)

Time passed quickly while chatting all over the world. After sending Orochimaru outside the Konoha camp in Tiannokuni, Uchiha Gencai returned to Konoha Village.

This time we traveled across the Land of Fire at 1.5, and by the time we arrived outside Konoha Village, it was already evening, with only the last trace of the sun remaining, and a faint golden red remaining on the horizon.

Landing in the forest, Zhu Rong, who had worked hard for a day, shrunk and got into his sleeves to rest. Gen Uchiha jumped from the forest to the road and walked towards the gate of Konoha calmly.

After running around all day, Gen Uchiha was too lazy to buy groceries and cook at home. He planned to buy the freshest ones tomorrow morning, so he turned around and headed directly to the bustling commercial street.

Although the scars caused by the Kyuubi have never been consumed, they have healed. The war with Kirigakure and Kumogakure has no impact on most people. Konoha Village has long since returned to its former prosperity.

The orange street lights are on, and the signs of various shops are flashing with colorful lights. Whether they are ninjas or civilians, they can relax and enjoy the nightlife with their lovers, family, and friends on the streets.

The bustling commercial street is even more lively, with pedestrians rubbing shoulders with each other. The shop signs are more gorgeous than those on other streets. The aroma of various foods is wafting in all directions, and there are various sounds such as hawking, chatting, and fighting. Intertwined together, full of fireworks.

Gen Uchiha started eating from a street stall on the edge of the commercial street. He was going to eat all the street snacks. After finishing them, he was basically full.

"Hey, Xuan, when did you come back?"

Uchiha Gen, who was eating three-color meatballs, suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned sideways and looked around, and four people came into view.

There were two men and two women, the man was held in the arms of the woman, but it was Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina.

Uchiha Mikoto was wearing a light blue top and a light blue knee-length skirt. Her long, smooth black hair was casually draped behind her. She had an amiable smile on her beautiful and gentle face, and she was holding a baby in her arms. Little boy with black hair.

Uzumaki Kushina is wearing a light red dress, with red hair that is almost waist-length draped behind her. There is a hairpin in the bun on the left side of her hair. Her delicate facial features are full of heroism, and she has a faint smile on her face. Yi, holding a little boy with yellow hair and beard lines on his face in his arms.

At this time, the two little boys were chewing on their fingers, eyes widened, staring at Gen Uchiha without blinking, or to be precise, staring at the meatball skewer in Gen Uchiha's hand.

"It's Sister Mikoto and Mrs. Kushina. I just came back."

"Is this Sasuke and Naruto?"

"You've grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Gen Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile on his face.

I didn't expect to meet these two when I went shopping. It must be a walk between best friends and their children, right?

"Sasuke, say hello to my brother quickly."

Mikoto pulled out the finger from Erzhuzhu's mouth, gently shook it, and coaxed with a smile.

"Naruto, say hello to my brother too."

Kushina followed Mikoto and did the same action.

Uchiha Gen and Uzumaki Kushina knew each other. After all, they had been with Namikaze Minato for a while, but they were not very close.

At this time, Sasuke was already one year old, and Naruto was not yet, but he was almost there.

One-year-old children can already speak, but they mainly use single words and repeated words. If they are too complex, they cannot speak or cannot speak clearly.

"Naoguo." Uchiha Sasuke said.

"Nao Guo." Uzumaki Naruto said.

"Why……"

Gen Uchiha agreed with a smile, and then saw the eyes of the big pillar and the second pillar focused on his hand, and raised his hand to shake the ball.

"Want to eat?"

"Time." The two little guys' eyes lit up and they said quickly.

Human cubs are really cute when they are young, but when they grow up, they become all kinds of strange things, and they appear to be all kinds of people.

"Sister Mikoto, can they eat it?"

"Meatballs are not easy to digest, but it doesn't matter if you eat less."

"In that case, let's eat tofu. It's easy to digest."

"Boss, give me three portions of tofu puffs."

This roadside stall not only sells meatballs, red bean soup, but also tofu curd.

"Okay, what flavor do you want?"

Uchiha Gen looked at Mikoto and Kushina. As for the opinions of the big pillar and the second pillar, he naturally ignored them. They couldn't make the decision.

"Salty." Uzumaki Kushina said slightly.

"Sweet." Uchiha Mikoto also smiled slightly.

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and Uchiha Gen was slightly startled. These two best friends are complementary, and they have completely opposite tastes in tofu.

Fortunately, there is no dispute between the sweet party and the salty party in this world. Otherwise, how can we be best friends?

"I want half sweet, half salty."

That's right, we are neither a sweet party nor a salty party, but a neutral mixed party. We can eat both sweet and salty food, and we can also eat a mixture of them!

boss:"……"

After selling tofu for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen it eaten this way...but the customer’s requirements still have to be met.

"OK."

While the boss was busy, Gen Uchiha popped a bunch of meatballs into his mouth in front of the big pillar and the second pillar, and deliberately came closer to chew them loudly.

The big pillar and the second pillar were so angry at the behavior of Uchiha Gen, the bad brother, that they started to howl as soon as they opened their mouths. Mikoto and Kushina were frightened and started to cheer.

Uchiha Gen burst into laughter. Mikoto and Kushina couldn't help but give Uchiha Gen a hard look. Their postures had different styles, the former was gentle and the latter was fierce.

Kushina did not die in this life, and everything about Minato should naturally be inherited by Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Naruto.

Uzumaki Kushina is a Jonin again. Although she has lost Minato as her pillar of support, Kushina does not have to worry about life.

After paying, Gen Uchiha took three portions of tofu puffs and said with a smile: "Sister Mikoto, this place is not suitable for talking. Let's find a quieter place."

"good."

Several people left the commercial street and went to a nearby park to find a chair and sit down.

Kushina and Naruto sat on the left, Mikoto and Sasuke sat in the middle, and Uchiha Gen sat on the right. The breeze blew, and a scent mixed with a light milk fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose.

The three of them chatted while eating.

Of course, I didn’t forget to feed Da Zhuzi and Er Zhuzi. The amount of tofu nao is too much for two one-year-old children to eat, so they can only eat a small amount.

"Xuan, you came back a bit suddenly. Is the war over in Kirigakure over?"

Mikoto didn't mention the Country of Whirlpool because it was Kushina's hometown and she was afraid that she would be moved by the scene.

Kushina has already gotten over Minato's death. In addition to being strong-willed, she also has her son and best friend by her side.

Genbu Uchiha was surprised that Mikoto didn't know the news. There was no need for the administrative department to announce this kind of military transfer.

Only those who need to know will know, unless they inquire deliberately.

"No, but it won't last long unless something unexpected happens."

"I get angry when I talk about this."

"Teacher Orochimaru and I finally built a small momentum into a big one, and a big momentum into a winning momentum."

"At this critical moment, there was a sudden change of commanders. Kumogakure's commanders Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Nara Shikaku were transferred to the Kirigakure front line, and Orochimaru-sensei and I were transferred to Kumogakure."

"This is really unreasonable!"

"What? Such a thing could happen?" Mikoto said with an angry look on her face.

Isn't this suppressing Orochimaru and Gen Uchiha?

In her and her husband's plan, when Orochimaru becomes the fifth generation Hokage, Itachi will become a disciple of Gen, the Hokage, and strive to become the seventh generation Hokage.

The top management of Konoha did this, and it was obvious that Orochimaru did not get the support of the top management.

Although there is no support from the top, Orochimaru may still become the fifth generation Hokage, but the possibility is undoubtedly reduced a lot.

Once Orochimaru fails to become the fifth Hokage, won't their Uchiha's path to Hokage be cut off again?

This is really abominable!

How many years have they Uchiha been waiting for a Hokage?

After hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina also felt that the top management of Konoha did not do this properly. Isn't this taking credit?

"Oh, what happened has happened. My arms can't hold my thighs."

"This incident has made Orochimaru-sensei so disheartened that he is ready to give up and not compete for the position of Hokage."

Gen Uchiha was eating tofu puffs and applying eye drops to Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, sighing with a sad look on his face.

Not competing for the position of Hokage?

How can this be done?

Mikoto was startled and didn't care about feeding Erzhu. She quickly said: "Xuan, if you want to persuade Orochimaru-sama, it's not hopeless."

"Sister Mikoto, there seems to be hope, but in fact there is no hope."

"How do you say that?"

"If the top leaders of Konoha don't recommend Orochimaru-sensei, and they can't pass this level, how can there be any hope?"

"how come?"

"The Sandaime Hokage is Lord Orochimaru's teacher."

"The Sandaime Hokage has the biggest objection to Orochimaru-sensei." Gen Uchiha revealed a shocking revelation.

"What?"

"How can it be?"

Uchiha Mikoto looked shocked, her flesh-colored mouth opened wide, and a hint of redness loomed.

Uzumaki Kushina recalled the conversation between Teacher Jiraiya and her husband, and found that the Sandaime Hokage did have some opinions on Orochimaru.

"This is what Orochimaru-sensei said to me personally."

"What do the Sandaime Hokage have against Lord Orochimaru?"

"It seems that Orochimaru-sensei has gone astray and entered darkness, so he is not suitable to become Hokage."

"this……"

The teacher who is the Hokage took the lead in not supporting it, how could other senior officials support it?

Even if it is supported, the effect is very small.

After all, the Konoha ninjas are more convinced of the Hokage, and the daimyo usually won't go against the Hokage.

"Did Orochimaru-sama do something wrong?"

"Is there any chance to correct it in time?"

Gen Uchiha lowered his voice and said, "Does it count to be obsessed with human body research?"

"Human research?" Uzumaki Kushina exclaimed.

"Wow wow wow..."

The three of them were so absorbed in chatting that they forgot to feed them. Dazhuzi and Erzhu endured it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Mikoto and the Kushina family hurriedly coaxed, Uchiha Gen lowered his head and concentrated on solving the remaining tofu brains.

Seeing that the focus returned to themselves, there was food to eat, and their mother's gentle words, Dazhuzi and Erzhu soon stopped crying.

"Why is Orochimaru-sama obsessed with that kind of research?" Mikoto asked while feeding.

"In the beginning, I was doing human research under the orders of senior officials, but then I gradually enjoyed it."

"In the later stages of the Kirigakure battlefield, most of the military affairs were handled by me."

"There is actually human research in Konoha?" Uzumaki Kushina said with a shocked look on her face as she felt her three senses tremble.

"Ms. Kushina asked..."

"Where there is light, there will be darkness, and the bright Konoha is no exception."

"Teacher Orochimaru told me that every village has human research, but the research projects vary from big to small."

"For example, Konoha has now restarted the research on wood escape. The research project is controlled by Danzo, and Orochimaru-sensei is conducting detailed research."

"I heard from Teacher Orochimaru that when the Second Hokage died, in order to prepare for the Ninja World War, Konoha started research on Wood Release."

"Because all the volunteers for this study died, including the members of the Thousand Hands clan who volunteered, it had to be sealed."

"Human research has always existed, but the bottom line is that ninjas and ordinary people are not allowed to be used in research."

When Mikoto and Kushina heard this, although their outlook on life was not completely destroyed, their outlook on life was also greatly affected.

The glamorous and highly respected top management of Konoha don't look so great and upright...

"Since Orochimaru-sama was originally ordered to conduct human research, then the impact of addiction will not be that big, right?" Mikoto said with a puzzled look on her face.

"The impact of mere addiction is naturally not that great."

"But maybe Orochimaru-sensei has seen too many deaths since he was a child, and Orochimaru-sensei has the idea of ​​pursuing immortality."

"This may be the root cause." Gen Uchiha said with a wry smile.

"Immortal?"

"How can it be?"

"Whimsical!"

"No wonder……

Although this world possesses extraordinary power, the reaction of the two women upon hearing this was similar to that of modern people. They felt that it was not just a daydream, but an extremely absurd daydream.

"If Orochimaru-sama corrects himself, will there be a chance?"

"That's the theory, but Orochimaru-sensei is completely obsessed with it."

"I've tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail. If I continue to persuade him, I'm afraid he'll get bored."

"It's basically a dead end."

Uchiha Gen spread his hands, then stood up and threw the box into the trash can.

"But such a clan plan..."

"The plan cannot keep up with the changes, so we can only cultivate our internal strength diligently and wait for the opportunity."

"Sister Meiqin, please don't spread it among the Hui clan. At most, let the higher-ups know. There are too many people who know about it."

"I see."

"Since it is unlikely that Lord Orochimaru will become the fifth generation, do you think Gen will be the fifth generation?"

Gen Uchiha sat down next to Mikoto, crossed his legs casually and said, "There are only a few people who are qualified to be Hokage."

"In addition to Orochimaru-sensei, Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama, and that guy Danzo can barely count as one."

"The other two Hokage assistants. As far as I know from the information I got from Orochimaru-sensei, these two people have no ambition to be Hokage, and their conditions in all aspects are not sufficient."

Mikoto said with an ugly face: "You mean Danzo will become the leader?"
