Chapter 27 Orochimaru

Konoha Village, the fourth training ground, Uchiha Gen arrived ten minutes early and rested against a big tree that shaded the sun.

Eight minutes later, Uchiha Gen opened his eyes and saw a figure emerging from the ground under the shade of a tree a few meters away.

He has long black hair, long golden pupils, purple eye shadow extending to his nose, pale skin, wearing a light yellow kimono with a purple knot around his waist, with a faint smile on his face, confident and calm, cold and mysterious.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Gen stood up straight and bowed in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Xuanjun, right? I heard from Hongdou that you want to become my teacher?"

Orochimaru looked Uchiha Gen up and down with interest, his hoarse voice revealed a gloomy tone, like the hissing of a big snake.

"Yes."

"Ho ho..."

"I know that you are the son of the Twin Stars of the Uchiha clan, with outstanding looks and decent strength, but why should I accept you?"

Uchiha Xuan said without changing his expression: "Just because the Uchiha clan can contribute to Lord Orochimaru becoming Hokage, it can provide money and various resource support to Lord Orochimaru."

"Ho ho... If you mean that I don't agree, will the Uchiha clan fully support Namikaze Minato?"

Before he finished speaking, a huge murderous aura erupted from Orochimaru and pressed towards Uchiha Gen. Uchiha Gen frowned slightly and returned to normal in an instant.

Lord Orochimaru's murderous intent is indeed terrifying, and ordinary people may even be frightened to death.

Ordinary ninjas can't even bear it, and fall into illusions and lose their composure, but he is not a flower in the greenhouse, nor is he an ordinary ninja.

"The Uchiha clan will not fully support anyone, nor will they offend anyone."

"To be honest, Uchiha Shisui has obtained the approval of Minato-senpai and joined Team 7."

"If your subsequent performance satisfies Minato-senpai, you will officially become Minato-senpai's disciple."

"oh?"

Orochimaru restrained his murderous aura, raised his brows, and felt a little surprised. His face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and his tone was playful.

"You Uchiha clan really have a good idea."

"As long as the apprenticeship is successful, no matter who becomes Hokage, there will be no loss, but this kind of behavior is really unpleasant."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Orochimaru's heart, Uchiha Gen still said without changing his expression: "The Uchiha clan is not one of those small families. There is no need to make all-or-nothing decisions. They only need to take the safest path."

"The Uchiha clan has enough strength and foundation to operate in two boats."

Orochimaru did not refute when he heard this. The most powerful family in the ninja world does have the strength to choose from. In all aspects, small families cannot compare.

"Does Minato know about this?"

"Minato-senpai doesn't know yet."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell him?"

"With Minato-senpai's big heart, he might be unhappy when he finds out, but he will never go back on his word."

Uchiha Gen's implication was naturally that he was not afraid of Orochimaru revealing the news.

"And with your arrogance and confidence, Orochimaru-sama, you don't even bother to do that kind of thing."

"Ho ho... It seems you have studied me thoroughly?"

Orochimaru sneered, his red tongue pulsing like a snake letter in his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking very dangerous.

Uchiha Gen felt a chill all over his body, feeling that he was being targeted by a poisonous tongue that arched his body, swallowed snake letters, exposed his fangs, and was ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

Uchiha Gen raised his vigilance to the highest level in his heart. After all, Orochimaru was quite moody. On the surface, he said calmly: "Don't take it seriously. Human nature is fickle."

"If anyone is confident that he can completely control human nature, then he is not far from death."

As soon as the words fell, the dangerous feeling looming over his back disappeared.

"It seems that you are not a fool who thinks you can calculate everything and control everything."

"I admire you for this."

"According to what I know about Uchiha Fugaku, he shouldn't have come up with these ideas. You are the initiator behind them, right?"

"Lord Orochimaru has a sharp eye."

"It's a good time for the Hokage to change. It would be a pity not to do something while we take the opportunity."

"As the saying goes, if God doesn't take what he wants, he will suffer the consequences; if he doesn't welcome the time, he will suffer the consequences."

"I, the Uchiha clan, are not popular among the top brass of Konoha today."

“Since you were not popular in the old era, you can only hope to be liked in the new era.”

Orochimaru recited the famous aphorism spoken by Gen Uchiha several times in his mind, and found it very reasonable. When the opportunity comes, he must seize it!

Orochimaru thought he understood the attitude of Konoha's high-level officials towards Uchiha.

The three of them received a lot of education back then.

It's just that he, Tsunade, and Jiraiya are not like others and have their own thoughts, so they are not affected.

His teacher's attitude wasn't bad, but that guy Danzo really disliked the Uchiha clan.

"It seems that the Uchiha clan has produced a great person."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh.

The Uchiha clan members he had met were all good at fighting, but their understanding of worldly affairs and current politics was a mess.

"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama, but I just like to read more to broaden my horizons and think more."

"Ho ho, huh?"

"Okay, I'm willing to make this deal with Uchiha."

"I need you Uchiha to provide me with a lot of money."

"As long as your support for Watergate does not exceed the amount of money you spend."

It is really not a good thing to only rely on Danzo for the source of research funds. With new sources of funds, the research progress can be accelerated, and he will not be so passive.

As for the Uchiha clan's support for Minato, Orochimaru didn't take it too seriously.

First, although Namikaze Minato had outstanding military exploits, his rise was too short and his foundation was insufficient.

Although Namikaze Minato is Jiraiya's disciple, he is also his partner. With Jiraiya's temperament, it is likely that the two will not help each other.

It was the best situation for Tsunade to stand by and do nothing for Jiraiya's sake.

If Tsunade helps him, Namikaze Minato basically has no chance of winning.

As long as his teacher doesn't abandon him and personally endorses Minato Namikaze, he is much more likely to rise to power.

The second is that he is no longer as eager for the position of Hokage as before. He has found a greater goal, and running for Hokage is just to give up his old obsession.

It’s done, the best.

If it doesn’t work, it’s no big deal.

Learning all ninjutsu, immortality, and exploring all the truths of the ninja world are now his lifelong goals!

"Don't worry, Orochimaru-sensei, I will definitely convey your request to the young clan leader. There is basically no problem."

Gen Uchiha took the opportunity to hit the snake and follow the stick.

Orochimaru nodded slightly and said: "From now on, I will leave the transportation of money to you. Now let me see your strength..."

"If it satisfies me, I will take time to guide you in the future."

"If it dissatisfies me, it's just a pure transaction, with only status and no substance."

Uchiha Xuan said seriously: "I will try my best to gain your approval."

He still has a lot of things he wants to get from Orochimaru, and it won't work if he doesn't get recognition and trust.

Moreover, Orochimaru's ability to train his disciples is quite strong, Anko is an exception.

Because he did not leave Konoha with Orochimaru and was affected by Orochimaru's defection, no master was willing to teach her.

He himself was deeply hit by Orochimaru's defection and Orochimaru's behavior before leaving.

During the years when his strength grew most rapidly, he fell into a state of decay and neglected his training, so in the end he was just a special jounin.

Orochimaru is disdainful of fools, but appreciates geniuses generously.

Anko was definitely a genius to be noticed by Orochimaru. It would not be difficult for him to grow up as a Jonin normally, and the possibility of becoming a Kage level was not small.

Sasuke is the showcase of Orochimaru's teaching ability!
