Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

The next day, the sky was dim.

In the courtyard, there was a rhythmic breathing sound.

"call……"

"suck……"

"call……"

…

Every once in a while, the direction of the wind in the yard will change, and the branches and leaves of the big trees are sometimes pulled and sometimes blown.

This situation lasted until noon, when the alarm in the house rang.

Orochimaru then took off the weights on his body, stopped exercising, and returned to the house to wash off the sweat from his body.

"The time is almost up, it's time for Fugaku to send someone."

Orochimaru put on a clean ninja uniform and sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, waiting for someone while checking his exercise progress.

Thanks to the Yamato brand genetic medicine, his body has gained a lot of vitality, and the progress of his physical training is gratifying. The breathing method of 'Constant Realm' that he had barely maintained before no longer needs to be deliberately controlled.

"Unfortunately, relying solely on breathing techniques is too slow to subtly strengthen the body, even if the weight is increased."

Orochimaru rubbed his chin, "It seems that Jiraiya's training progress needs to be accelerated."

Immortal magic and breathing methods are essentially the use of natural energy. If we can find a way to promote each other...

"Dong dong dong..."

A knock on the door interrupted Orochimaru's thoughts.

"Lord Orochimaru, it's me." The voice was Uchiha Fugaku.

"Fugaku, he actually came in person?"

Orochimaru looked surprised and said, "That's right, the family's issues make him anxious."

Since Uchiha's attitude is so respectful, he doesn't need to put on any airs.

Orochimaru jumped directly outside the house, "Very good, you came at the right time."

In fact, he had been waiting at the door for quite a while.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly and said straight to the point, "Lord Orochimaru, do you have any solution to Uchiha's problem?"

"No rush, let's talk while we walk."

Orochimaru pointed in the direction of the Uchiha tribe and started to take steps. Uchiha Fugaku was slightly startled and had no choice but to follow.

…

The two of them did not use ninja methods, running and jumping, but walked on the street like ordinary people.

Along the way, passers-by and merchants in shops all paid attention to the two, whispered to each other, and talked a lot.

After all, both Orochimaru of the "Sannin" and Uchiha Fugaku, the captain of the security team, are both star ninjas in the village. It is really curious to suddenly walk together.

In particular, these two people have a bad reputation in the village now.

Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged, and although Fugaku also had a straight face, judging from his slightly strange expression, he could not turn a blind eye.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, it's actually very easy to suppress the Uchiha matter. All you need is the third generation or other high-level officials to offer guarantees, but..."

Orochimaru glanced around, and the surrounding decibels suddenly dropped a notch, "Just like now, it can suppress the surface, but not the heart."

Fugaku's face darkened a bit, this was also something he was worried about.

The tribesmen were already alienated from the village's ninja villagers due to personality reasons, and the relationship between the two had been at a low ebb for a long time. Now, the suspicion of the Nine-Tails Rebellion has simply made things worse.

"However, Uchiha now has a chance."

Orochimaru said bluntly, "The Cloud Hidden Village is ready to move, and a war will definitely break out with Konoha in the near future."

"Kumogakure?"

Fugaku was surprised at first. After he thought about the key, joy flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly calmed down, and his eyes returned to their original state of calm.

"Indeed, this is a good opportunity."

Defending the village and performing meritorious service on the battlefield are the core values ​​of ninjas. As long as you do this, it will be difficult for others to criticize you.

Nowadays, the middle and upper class of the village have suffered heavy losses. If the Uchiha can turn the tide, it may be possible for the Uchiha to go further.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, I know what you are thinking."

Orochimaru sneered slightly, "Before the Nine-Tails Rebellion, this method would have been okay, but now, think carefully about why the village is facing war, and why you, Uchiha, can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield?"

Fugaku was shocked.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the ninjas in the village were massacred, and Uchiha was able to survive. However, if during the Kumogakure Ninja War, Uchiha took the opportunity to gain merit and improve his status, the suspicion of the family would become even greater.

Not only that, if the merits of life and death are not recognized, but are criticized instead, the tribesmen will be angry and resentful. What will happen then is really unimaginable.

"I thought it was simple."

Fugaku said, his voice a little stiff, "I wonder what method Orochimaru-sama has."

"It's very simple."

Orochimaru said calmly, "When Uchiha participates in the war, the important thing is not how much credit he gets, but how much loss he suffers."

Fugaku blinked, confused at first, but then his expression gradually changed.

He didn't care about the strength and status of the person in front of him, he was furious,

"What a cruel heart, what a vicious plan, do you want Uchiha to die?"

"I didn't mean that."

Orochimaru didn't care about Fugaku's attitude and said word by word, "Because I will also participate in the battle and be responsible for the most dangerous enemies."

"If you suffer heavy losses, I won't be able to escape either. I will carefully control the limits of casualties."

"That won't work either!"

Uchiha Fugaku looked serious, "I am the leader of the Uchiha clan. How could I join forces with outsiders to harm my own family?"

"Chief Fugaku, you..."

Just as Orochimaru was about to continue speaking, a security team walked straight towards them, not looking like they were greeting the clan leader.

Fugaku regained his composure and asked the leader of the tribe, "Jinsuke, what happened?"

"Chief, we have clearly cleared the ruins, but the village has not allocated the craftsmen responsible for rebuilding the clan land."

Shinsuke Uchiha looked angrily, "I went to find the person in charge, but they passed the blame and refused to delegate."

"Yes, some people even say that our tribe is going to be relocated, and it would be a waste of effort to go anywhere now."

"Clan leader, do we really want to change our clan's territory?"

"..."

Some people in the security team also heard rumors about the Hokage meeting, saying that the Uchiha were being driven to the edge of the village because of suspicions of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

I was just trying to catch the wind, but when I encountered something like this, I couldn't help but have doubts, and everyone was shocked and angry.

Facing the people's questions, Fugaku remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

At this time, Orochimaru suddenly interrupted, "Move? The village will not force Uchiha to move, and the third generation has not given such an order."

"You guys go there again and tell them exactly what I said."

"This... is, Orochimaru... Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Jinsuke was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement, as if he had just seen Orochimaru.
