This Uchiha is too cautious

It took the four of them two days to reach the agreed upon town.

They didn't act in a hurry. After all, it was normal for a ninja to leave the village for more than a week after performing a normal mission.

Although Uchiha Kei and the three of them all hold important positions, it is definitely not a good thing for them to be away for too long.

Especially at this moment, Konoha is negotiating with Kumogakure, and the entire ninja continent seems to be affected by this negotiation, and there are many chain reactions.

But such a problem does not require them to worry about it. After all, Konoha still has the Hokage of Feng Shuimen and Nara Shikaku, the head of the administrative department.

As long as the three of them don't stay outside for too long, basically there won't be too many problems.

The three of them obviously knew this, so they acted so unhurriedly.

Especially when they come out this time, they have many other ideas, even Kakashi.

After meeting Uchiha Lin, Kakashi unexpectedly discovered that he got along very well with this guy.

Although they have different views on many things, the tacit understanding between them seems to be innate.

He really felt like he was getting along with Obito.

It is true that Uchiha Kei's status in his heart has been comparable to or even surpassed that of Obito, but this kind of transcendence is more of a kind of respect.

He has always regarded Uchiha Kei as his teacher, someone who guides him from going astray in life and leads him from darkness to light.

Such a person is his best friend and someone he admires in his heart, but it is difficult for him to see himself and Uchiha Kei on the same level.

Although there were no problems in getting along with each other in daily life, he would always unconsciously put Uchiha Kei in a higher position in his heart.

Being together with this 'Uchiha Lin' didn't feel like this. Instead, he felt a sense of intimacy that seemed to come from blood.

"It seems that it should be right here."

Uchiha Keiko didn't know what messy things Kakashi was thinking in his heart.

After entering this small town, he briefly observed the environment here and directly concluded that this place was the place they were looking for.

I have to say that the situation here seems to be a bit chaotic, because after they entered the town, they found that there were quite a lot of ninjas here.

It would be fine if they were normal registered Konoha ninjas, but the composition of ninjas in this town seemed very complicated.

In addition to the ninja who wears a forehead protector to tell which ninja village he is from, there are also various wandering samurai and ninjas, so it is completely impossible to tell.

There are ninjas attached to the Ninja Village who may come here to perform tasks.

As for those wandering samurai and ninjas, it may not be that simple here.

For these lone wolves who have no power to rely on, there are really not many ways for them to make money.

The most suitable mission for them is probably the most dangerous bounty mission.

Wandering samurai and ninjas were, to put it mildly, lone wolves who did not bother to join a ninja village.

But to put it harshly, they are simply traitors or people who are not strong enough and are not taken seriously at all.

Of course, there are many powerful guys among such people, but those guys are basically rebel ninjas who have been nailed into the Ninja Village Battle Manual.

So no matter which category they belong to, the things they can do can only be the most dangerous. They are the real desperadoes.

"It suits Orochimaru's choice very well." Imai Kenta said softly: "It's chaotic, and there are many people of all kinds. This kind of place is really suitable for hiding oneself, and it's also suitable for getting information."

"Indeed." Uchiha Kai suddenly stopped while walking, looked at a strange-looking building on the side and touched his chin: "It seems that I am almost seventeen."

"Isn't it? Isn't it?" Kenta Imai looked at him in disbelief: "You don't want to come here for fun, do you?"

"Is it too much to take a hot spring bath?" Uchiha Kai turned to look at Imai Kenta: "I told you to go to a custom shop, but you can't take a good hot spring bath?"

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Of course, it will be fine if Ling believes you."

"Please, she didn't come with me. Besides, you took me to the hot spring for the first time."

Imai Kenta rolled his eyes when he heard this. The last time he took Uchiha Kai to a hot spring, it was a regular hot spring in Konoha.

And where is this family in front of me?

This is a custom shop!

I'm afraid few people in their right mind don't know what the specific business is here.

It is true that there are hot springs available here and even pretty good accommodations.

But this can’t change the nature of this place, right?

Uchiha Kai actually wants to come here to have fun?

Kenta Imai really didn't expect this, although he most likely thought it was a joke made by Kai Uchiha.

But when he thought that Hinata Ling didn't follow him, Uchiha Kai started to say such things, which showed that this guy didn't seem to be honest.

But soon, Kenta Imai touched his chin.

A guy like Uchiha Kei would say something like this. Is it because Hinata Aya is usually too strict?

Thinking about it, that woman is not only crazy but also extremely dangerous.

If you get along with this kind of person or even develop a relationship, it seems normal that you can't stand it.

Thinking of this, Kenta Imai suddenly changed his expression to 'I sympathize with you' and patted Uchiha Kei on the shoulder.

The speed and attitude of this guy's change of face directly confused Uchiha Kei, who was joking at first. He didn't even realize what was going on for a moment.

"To be honest, I sympathize with you." Kenta Imai said in a slightly lower voice: "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you, as long as you treat me."

"Go to hell." Uchiha Kei slapped this guy's arm off with one hand: "Let's not talk about what you sympathize with. Also, I can treat you to dinner, and you will pay for everything else."

After saying this, Uchiha Keiko walked forward without looking back, but he felt something was wrong after just a moment.

When did you say you wanted to go to a place like this?

This is just to tease Imai Kenta, and at the same time recall the feeling of going to a hot spring for the only time in this world.

It turned out to be good now. Kenta Imai, a bastard, talked nonsense and acted as if he wanted to play.

"This damn guy."

Uchiha Kai shook his head, but a joke was just a joke, and it was over when it was over.

Uchiha Kei's expression became much more serious after taking a look at a tavern in front of him. That tavern was where they met Orochimaru.

Entering this tavern, Uchiha Kai frowned slightly.

This pub looks very dark, and the lights even need to be turned on in broad daylight.

Moreover, the tavern was also full of people. These people seemed to be very wary, and they were wary of strangers coming in.

These guys couldn't see any signs of identity at all, let alone where they belonged.

Uchiha Kai glanced at these guys and walked directly inside.

They had already taken down the sign that they belonged to Konoha, and even Uchiha Obito had changed his green vest.

Among the four of them, although three of them still have the possibility of being recognized.

But now that they have all taken off their iconic identifiers, it doesn't matter whether they are recognized or not.

What's more, they have no intention of hiding their identities.

To put it simply, as long as they are careful, they will not take these wandering ninjas or traitorous ninjas seriously at all.

As long as they are on guard against poisoning, no matter how hard these families live, it may not be possible to do anything to them.

Moreover, they had another purpose in taking down the Konoha symbol, which was to send a message - they were not here to arrest or kill people.

Walking all the way towards the deepest part, Orochimaru's reserved location was a single room similar to a private room.

In fact, the sound insulation of such a single room is very average, just like now.

When they passed by a single room, they could hear wanton laughter coming from inside, as well as the gasps of some girls.

"A place like this is really interesting." Kenta Imai suddenly laughed: "A guy like this is not afraid of being targeted by his enemies and dying here."

"I'm afraid these desperadoes have never considered that day at all." Uchiha Obito suddenly said: "Besides, a truly powerful guy will not let loose. I'm afraid such a person will not be a powerful guy."

"That's true." Kakashi nodded: "But it's not accurate. After all, Konoha has a ninja with a unique personality but an extremely powerful one."

"People cannot be generalized." Uchiha Kei directly took over the topic: "Think about how powerful the previous Hokage was, but look at the character of the guy who inherited the current Senju clan."

"Hello? What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. It's just for comparison. I didn't name him by name."

Uchiha Kei made a little teasing and ignored Kenta Imai's unhappy expression. He stopped directly at the door of a small single room.

He knocked lightly, and then opened the wooden door without waiting for any response from the people inside.

This room is not big, but there is no problem in seating five or six people in it.

Moreover, there was already a person sitting in this room. Kakashi and Uchiha Obito couldn't help but dilate their pupils slightly when they saw this person.

Because this guy has no disguise at all, he is Orochimaru!

The person Uchiha Kei wants to meet is Orochimaru?

This guy is the most wanted criminal in Konoha. Why does Uchiha Kei want to see this person?

Suddenly Kakashi seemed to understand something, but he was not so sure about many things.

He felt that it was best for him to watch quietly now and see what Uchiha Kei and Orochimaru planned to talk about.

After all, his teacher sent him to follow Uchiha Kai, which definitely had its meaning.

"It seems bad for you to be so arrogant, Orochimaru-sama." Uchiha Kei sat down directly, and then sighed slightly: "You should know that we are in a cat-and-mouse relationship now. If you do this, it will make me very embarrassed. of."

"Is it really just a relationship between cat and mouse, Minister Kei?" Orochimaru didn't seem to care about what Uchiha Kei said at all. He glanced at everyone present and then laughed hoarsely.

"With three ministers and a mysterious guy, I'm afraid it seems now that I'm no longer a rat, but a knife in your hands, right?"

Uchiha Kai chuckled, then picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

Even though Orochimaru had been away for so long, his vision and vision were not affected at all. On the contrary, he became even sharper.

Just looking at the few people in front of me, I connected with their identities.

He instantly guessed what Uchiha Kei, or Namikaze Minato, meant.

However, he did not have any objection at all, and of course he did not give any approval.

It's not a big deal if he wants Orochimaru to make a sword.

The key is, what can Konoha give and what specific things can it give him?

These are the most important!

Orochimaru is a very practical person, and he has no interest in imaginary things.

If Konoha can give him what he wants, he will be very happy to make Konoha's sword.

Kakashi sat aside and listened to the conversation between the two people. At this moment, he also clearly understood the reason why his teacher called him over.

Sure enough, it was just as he thought, and at this moment Kakashi also knew what he was going to do in the future.

In fact, let's recall carefully, when Uchiha Kai raided Orochimaru's base.

It seems that Orochimaru deliberately left something behind, which allowed his teacher to successfully get back a lot of rights.

And after Konoha announced that Orochimaru was a traitorous ninja, it seems that only Jiraiya was chasing Orochimaru from beginning to end, right?

Here, many issues have been explained.

Only Obito tilted his head, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but he was thinking about other things.

"How to understand it is Orochimaru-sama's own business. I just don't want to expose something that shouldn't be exposed."

Uchiha Kei looked at Orochimaru calmly, then he took out a chapter of paper from the empty bag and handed it over.

"I think Orochimaru-sama is also aware of his psychology, isn't he?"

"Of course, don't worry, no one will know who I am when I come in, except for some people."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue. He took the note and read it: "It seems that Minister Kei is really ambitious when he comes to me this time."

"To put it simply, there is what I need, what Konoha needs, and what Hokage needs." Uchiha Kai's voice was still calm.

"In addition to giving you normal shelter, we can also give you some resources. However, whether these resources are in the interests of Konoha depends on Lord Orochimaru's consideration."

"It's interesting." Orochimaru read the note carefully for a long time, then nodded and put the note away.

"I will sort out what I want and tell you tonight. But before that, I need you to help me solve some troubles."

Solve some troubles?

Uchiha Kei was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, the door to the private room where they were was opened.
