Naruto’s Hidden Shadow Snake

Uchiha Man, the grandson of the third elder of the previous generation of the Uchiha clan, lived in the discrimination and neglect of the tribe for a long time after the accident of the third elder.

However, the ninja world is a place where strength speaks after all. After being depressed for a period of time, Uchiha Man showed his powerful talent, and gradually re-established his position among the tribe by virtue of his own strength.

Nowadays, everyone in Uchiha knows that the Seventh Elder is full, and he has long forgotten that he is the grandson of the Third Elder.

"Mr. Man is here today, probably not just to congratulate me."

Fu Yue and Man sat cross-legged, took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Unlike the previous Second Elder, the Uchiha Mitsuru in front of him seemed to make him treat it with more caution.

"There are indeed some things to tell the patriarch."

Uchiha Man glanced at Uchiha Itachi that Mikoto was holding in the distance, and showed a formulaic smile.

Mitsuru Uchiha is now middle-aged, and his strength has reached its peak. Among the Uchihas who pay attention to family status, the elders at this age are considered very young, although they are only the seventh elders.

The elders of the older generation were all fought and killed in the war, and some of them were able to sit on an equal footing with the patriarch, or even stand upright.

Manneng's becoming an elder may have something to do with Uchiha's weakness, but Fu Yue knows that Manneng has this strength.

Among Uchiha's current powerhouses, Man's Huodun is almost the most powerful, and even has the title of [Red Salamander], which is highly regarded by the elders of the older generation and others.

And strength is not Uchihaman's most powerful talent. His important contribution to the family comes from his ability to collect intelligence.

Whether it is a radical or conservative Uchiha, mastering the information of the village and the ninja world is very important, even a matter of life and death.

However, after the decline of Uchiha in these years, not only was he deprived of most of his authority, but even most of his resources were cut off, which was a fatal blow to a big family.

Without rights, there is no access to the classified information collected in the village. Without resources, it will be difficult for Uchiha to develop his own intelligence network.

In addition, activities are restricted in the village, even if they are closely monitored during the Ninja World War, for a long time, Uchiha will be deeply trapped, like a blind or deaf man, out of touch with the entire Ninja World, and finally decline even more, maybe that day The village didn't even know that it was finally going to kill Uchiha.

Among the expenses of the Uchiha clan, a large part is used to collect all kinds of information. Fugaku also strongly supports this point, but before Uchiha Man took over the intelligence, there has been great resistance and little effect.

"The information that Mr. Man personally informed must not be a trivial matter." Fu Yue's eyes froze slightly.

Man's ability to obtain information is quite amazing. Although it is definitely not as good as Konoha Anbe and the like, Man must be able to obtain major events in the village and ninja world, so that the family can be prepared. This is the guarantee of his status.

It's just...Fu Yue has always been suspicious of Uchiha Mitsuru.

Intelligence work requires analysis and inference capabilities, but the most important thing is access to intelligence.

Many confidential information cannot be obtained without a huge intelligence network and influence. This is the biggest difficulty for Uchiha today. Even if Fujigaku does it, it is absolutely impossible to be so good.

However, Man can often obtain the most important information for the family in a timely manner, which is a bit unusual.

For example, during World War II, it was said that Renzhuli in Yunin Village rioted out of control and caused huge losses.

The third generation of Raikage was furious, and he couldn't help but doubt Uchiha's Sharingan when he was looking for the murderer.

Then suspect that ninja scourge - Suffering from Uchiha Dragon.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The Jinzhuli riot even directly affected the combat troops on the front line of Kumo Ninja, which had a certain impact on the outcome of the war, and Konoha knew about it afterwards.

When you think of Uchiha Dragon, you naturally think of Uchiha.

Based on the thinking of the village's senior management, if someone can make Kumo Ninja Churiki go berserk, then the Uchiha clan will also threaten Kyuubi, and then the village immediately began to secretly investigate the Uchiha clan, and even prepared to take some "necessary" measures.

At that time, the Uchiha who was guarded happened to be the most emotionally unstable. Many people hoped that Uchiha could go to the battlefield to gain more rights. There were also many young Uchiha clamoring to take advantage of the war, and the village had no skills to launch a coup , to change the aggrieved situation.

And at this critical moment, Uchiha Mitsu obtained this information, issued an alarm to the family, severely restrained the family's ninjas, and did not catch any handles for the village. In the end, the incident passed so peacefully.

The acquisition of this information made it so timely and so "magical". This incident made Uchiha Mitsuru's status skyrocket, and this is just a typical example.

Other clansmen may not feel it, but Fuyue faintly feels that Uchiha is a person with secrets, including the rumored sudden change after childhood setbacks, and the rapid development of strength, which may be far more complicated than it seems.

Of course, this is just an illusory suspicion after all, maybe it's just that he himself is too sensitive...

"The vibrations in the village today, the patriarch must be very puzzled, right?"

Uchiha Man said indifferently, "As far as I know, not long ago, people from Anbe, Nebu, and the elders all went to investigate, and even Hokage and Danzo appeared."

"What? Manjun, do you know what is going on?!"

Fu Yue was startled, and stared at Uchiha Mitsuru closely.

The whole village felt the movement in the morning, but no alarm was issued in the village, and the people he managed to gather in Konoha Anbe only knew that it had alarmed Hokage, that's all.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It is said that Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, is having a sparring with his apprentice Senju Nawaki, but the scene is a bit amazing!" Uchiha said with a smile.

"...is that so......"

Fu Yue frowned.

Just to exchange ideas can cause such a commotion, how strong do these two people have to be to do it?

It was unexpected.

He has heard about the power of Orochimaru for a long time, but Senju Nawaki, it is said that he has awakened Mu Dun, and there are even rumors in the village that he will become the next Senju Hashirama.

Fu Yue didn't care about this at first, but after knowing the news, Fu Yue couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

The Senshou Clan has Tsunade, and now Naruki seems to have grown up completely, and his rise is in sight, but the Uchiha Clan...

"It's not just that, Lord Patriarch, my informant in the elders' group got more important information." Uchiha said.

"It is said that Orochimaru pointed out something in front of someone."

Uchiha said in a deep voice, "He said that the third ninja war has begun."

After Mitsuru Uchiha said these words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, only the sound of Mikoto coaxing Itachi outside.

"Is the news accurate?"

Fuyue held the teacup, the blue tea reflected his dark eyes, except for a sigh, there was not much surprise.

The disputes in the Land of Rain, the hatred left over from the Second Ninja World War, the expansion ambitions between countries... The conflicts in the Ninja World have always been so obvious, and they are probably just ready to explode at this moment after resting for a whole number of years That's all.

For the Uchiha clan, whether they have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and how the village will treat them are the issues that Fuyue should consider. The situation of the last ninja world war is still fresh in my memory, Fuyue feels more and more anxious!

He is well aware of Konoha's current strength. If the battle situation is not tense, the Uchiha clan may still be guarded by Konoha in the war. This is really a huge irony for the famous Konoha family of Zeng Jin!

And if the war situation is in danger... Will the Uchiha clan, which has been silent for a long time now, have a chance...

"The news is accurate. There were actually quite a few people present at the time, and it wasn't just a matter of a day or two. After all, this will be a war that will affect the ninja world. Orochimaru got some wind from the country of rain. Not surprisingly."

Uchiha spread his hands all over the place, "As the elder in charge of intelligence, I'm just reporting this news to you. You are the patriarch, so you still need to make a decision on how to face the upcoming war."

"Thank you Manjun, I will pay attention." Fu Yue nodded.

"It's a bit of a disappointment to talk about such a heavy topic on this big day, but..."

"It's okay, this is the major event that the people of the tribe should really pay attention to."

Fu Yue looked at his wife who was teasing the children outside the house, "I don't know what this war means to Itachi."

"Hehe, Master Itachi is naturally too young to keep up with this war, but with his talent, he is destined to have his own stage in the future." Man said with a smile.

"Oh? Are you so optimistic about Itachi?"

Fu Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Ordinary people would only think that what Man said was a compliment, but Fuyue frowned with a serious look.

Fu Yue always seemed to have such a depressed expression.

"As a ninja, I believe in my own vision." Mitsuru Uchiha was equally serious.

"I agree with the strength of the Seventh Elder, so let me lend you a good word."

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Fu Yue said lightly.

He stood up first and left the seat, with a preoccupied look on his face, looking at Mikoto and Itachi from time to time, obviously lost in thought.

"Hehe, Fu Yue, you are the most sensible person in this decadent family!"

Seeing Fu Yue leaving, Man also stood up, with a playful and profound light flashing in his eyes.

As the senior of the family, and secretly instructed to pay attention to Fu Yue and his heirs, Man has his own understanding of Fu Yue.

Whether it was the radicals trying to launch a coup d'etat or the conservatives advocating harmonious coexistence with the village, Fuyue did not clearly express his support. He did the same as himself, and what he did was first and foremost for the interests of the family.

However, this is not to say that he has no thoughts on the conflicts between the village and the family, but that he is always weighing the pros and cons, and he just doesn't say anything!

In other words, as the patriarch, he is willing to compromise with the village at present, which means that he feels that the family has no chance of winning against Konoha, so he chooses to endure.

And if he thinks that the time is right, Konoha can no longer suppress Uchiha, or the family is under mortal threat, Man thinks that Fuyue will break with the village without hesitation!

Fu Yue will not clearly express his position and label it as a camp, because he is always paying attention to the [Time] and [Position] of the ninja world.

The current forbearance is because he feels that the family has no possibility of success at all.

And if Konoha treats the family well, Fuyue may not necessarily break the family and the village.

To put it bluntly, Fuyue's starting point is always the interests of the family. This is also the reason why he, like Man, attaches great importance to the collection of intelligence and the seventh elder Man.

"You don't decide the fate of the family based on personal emotions. With such a capacity, you are indeed the most suitable person to be the patriarch, Fu Yue."

Uchiha said in a low voice, "However, you who like to weigh the pros and cons so much, and think about success or failure first, will eventually become hesitant and dull, and lose the courage to make decisions!

The future situation will definitely change rapidly, can your eyes really distinguish and see clearly?"

The full moon banquet lasted until the evening, and the clansmen left Fuyue's mansion in a bustling manner.

After dismissing the ninjas around him, Mitsuru Uchiha walked towards the deep alley of the street alone.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, Uchiha Min pulled back the windbreaker at the neckline, revealing a brass pendant.

The workmanship of this pendant is very fine, showing the appearance of a rat's head. The two scarlet eyes are like magnificent gemstones, releasing a faint brilliance.

Mitsuru Uchiha held the mouse head pendant, injected chakra into it, and the pendant released an imperceptible wave.

"brush--"

A figure quietly appeared behind Mitsuru Uchiha, he was wearing a black hood, his appearance was covered by a pale mask, only a pair of scarlet eyes shining brightly under the mask. .

Manruo felt something, turned around and bowed respectfully towards him.

"Master Uchiha Dragon!"
