Hatake Sakumo looked surprised. He couldn't think of anyone better than Orochimaru.
"Is that Tsunade?"
"No."
Hatake Sakumo frowned, "Could it be Jiraiya?"
"No, it's Minato Namikaze."
Hatake Sakumo was slightly surprised, "It turned out to be Kakashi's guidance Kaminin Minato."
"How is this possible? Although Minato is an excellent ninja, he is too young to be the Hokage."
Uchiha Yuan smiled sarcastically and said, "Teacher, although we think Orochimaru is the most suitable candidate for the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage and his men will not willingly give up power."
"And with Orochimaru's prestige, he will not and cannot become a puppet that they can manipulate behind the scenes."
"According to my observation, on the eve of the selection of the Fourth Hokage, the village mentioned Minato Jonin many times in the news about the battlefield ahead, and it was obvious that they were suppressing the news about Orochimaru."
"Minato Jonin earned the nickname Golden Flash during his battles against Iwagakure and Kumogakure. He killed many Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas with his extremely fast movements."
"But it's meaningless to say this now. The Yondaime died on the night of the Nine-Tails rampage several months ago, and the Sandaime is now temporarily taking over the position of Hokage."
Hatake Sakumo was silent for a long time, and said with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect so many things to happen in the village."
Uchiha Yuan sneered: "This is the Konoha high-level leaders headed by the Sandaime. For the sake of power, they can even suppress Orochimaru, their own carefully cultivated disciple."
"How's Kakashi now?"
Hatake Sakumo frowned. If it was true as Uchiha Furuya said, he was a little worried that Kakashi would be involved in the power struggle in the village.
"Kakashi-senpai should be an ANBU now. The last time I met him, he was very cold towards his classmates and excluded himself from everyone."
Hatake Sakumo sighed softly, "Ah, this kid has had a hard time."
Uchiha Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, "Teacher, do you know a Genin named Might Dai?"
Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly and nodded, "This is a very hard-working and respectable ninja. He is full of the spirit of fire."
“He died.”
"Really? I didn't expect Dai to sacrifice himself as well."
Hatake Sakumo had a dejected look on his face and said, "Can you tell me how Dai died?"
Uchiha Yuan showed a respectful expression and said, "According to the news from the clan, on the battlefield against Kirigakure, the front troops encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and it was Senior Dai who was alone in the rear."
"He displayed strength beyond imagination, killing four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen on the spot."
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen have been famous in the ninja world for a long time, but four of them died at the hands of Senior Dai in one battle. Many people in the village found it incredible."
Hatake Sakumo gave an appreciative smile, "I've always known that Dai was a powerful ninja. He could endure the ridicule of the villagers for so long and never take it to heart."
Then he looked up at the sky and seemed to see a familiar green figure.
Farewell, my friend.
Then, Hatake Sakumo said, "Although we have repelled the Sunagakure, they will attack again. I'm afraid the village has shown signs of weakness in the battles between Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
This Ninja World War is only halfway through."
Uchiha Yuan smiled and said, "Fortunately, Iwagakure and Kumogakure have always had a grudge against each other, so it is impossible for them to unite and attack us together; otherwise, the war on the front line would probably become even worse."
Hatake Sakumo said solemnly, "If the war lasts for a long time, you ninja school students will be sent to the battlefield sooner or later."
Uchiha Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I guess the village is already preparing for this."
Hatake Sakumo said seriously, "In the past two Ninja World Wars, Genin suffered the highest casualties. Although your current strength is no weaker than that of an elite Chunin, you must remember that any accident can happen on the battlefield."
"Even a Jonin can die at the hands of a Genin if he's careless. I'll teach you the experience I've gained on the battlefield."
after a while.
"It's time for me to go back."
After explaining some knowledge on how to identify traps on the battlefield, Hatake Sakumo suddenly said.
Then the aura of the shadow clone he possessed suddenly changed, and the sharpness in his eyes was no longer there.
"boom."
The shadow clone then formed seals on its own and dissipated.
At the same time, the four shadow clones standing at four angles around them simultaneously formed seals to remove the opened barrier, and then dissipated together.
Uchiha Yuan stood in place and opened his mouth to exhale a gray breath; the nearby weeds were touched by this gray breath and immediately showed obvious signs of withering.
'The teacher is a ghost after all. After being possessed by him, the shadow clone was contaminated with the negative aura of the dead.
Fortunately, this bit of negative energy has little effect on me. As long as I discard the chakra of this shadow clone, it won't affect me at all.
At this moment, a shadow quietly passed by among the nearby bushes.
The next moment, a fishy wind suddenly arose, and a giant python with red and black stripes opened its mouth and pounced towards Uchiha Yuan.
Chapter 35 Newcomers
Uchiha Yuan raised his head and glanced calmly at the red and black python that was suddenly attacking him.
The next second, his figure was swallowed by the giant python's mouth.
However, after the giant red-black python pounced and bit, it began to swallow and move its tongue in confusion, searching for the target's scent.
Its mouth was empty and its belly was not bulging, and there was no sign of Uchiha Yuan at all.
Outside the Forest of Death.
On the ground near the huge wall of Konoha Village, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground.
It was Uchiha Yuan.
The moment the giant python pounced on him, he used the earth walking technique to dive into the ground, then swam quickly underground and left the Death Forest.
After all, the Death Forest is rich in resources, and the ninjas in the village all have industries here; for example, the Nara clan's deer farm is just outside the Death Forest, and the Sarutobi clan's herb garden is also in the Death Forest.
By sneaking underground, there is no need to worry about being discovered by other ninjas.
When they arrived outside the village wall, Uchiha Yuan's eyes flashed with golden light.
In front of him was a barrier that was invisible to the naked eye.
This place is under constant surveillance by the village barrier team, and anything that passes through the barrier will be sensed by the barrier team.
At this time, Uchiha Yuan released his mental power to sense the frequency changes of the barrier, and then adjusted his own breath fluctuations to the same frequency fluctuations as the barrier.
Then he leaped over the village wall.
The village's barrier team had no idea of this.
The village is still prosperous, and shop owners in the bustling commercial street are enthusiastically soliciting customers.
While passing by a pastry shop, Uchiha Yuan bought a box of three-color dumplings.
After returning home, Uchiha Yuan sensed that only his sister Izumi was at home.
My mother is not at home. She must be preparing ingredients for dinner.
In the attic at home, my sister Quan sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, her little face full of seriousness.
Her breathing was strong and long, and the rhythm faintly showed a special rhythm.
As if sensing Uchiha Yuan's arrival, Uchiha Izumi opened his eyes, a distressed expression appearing on his little face.
"Brother, the practice you taught me is so difficult."
Uchiha Yuan comforted him: "Quan, don't be anxious, take your time and remember the rhythm of each breath."
Quan turned his face away from Uchiha Yuan and said, "I don't want to practice anymore. It's so boring."
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuan's brows furrowed for a moment, but then relaxed quickly. He knew his sister was just throwing a tantrum and saying these words in anger. If she really didn't want to practice, then Uchiha Yuan should be seeing his sister playing.
Uchiha Yuan Shangqian rubbed the little girl's head and chuckled: "Izumi, brother will still need you to protect him in the future. Do you really not want to practice anymore?"
Quan turned around and pouted at Uchiha Yuan, "Brother is so abominable. He only knows how to lie to me like this."
"Izumi has always known that my brother is actually very powerful and does not need Izumi's protection at all."
Uchiha Yuan smiled slightly, "But Izumi and mother are my brother's closest people. You are my brother's weakness. Only when Izumi becomes stronger, my brother will become stronger."
Quan seemed to understand what Uchiha Yuan said, and a confused expression appeared on his little face.
After all, in her heart, Konoha Village is the safest place; and her family is the strongest ninja clan, the Uchiha clan, so there is no danger there.
At this time, Uchiha Yuan took out the paper box containing pastries from behind him and said to Quan: "Quan, look what this is?"
"It's Mikido's three-colored dango."
Uchiha Izumi cheered, immediately took the paper box, opened it, took out a string of three-colored dumplings and started eating.
The sweet taste of the three-colored dumplings immediately made the little girl smile, and she forgot the troubles of her unsuccessful practice.
Looking at his sister eating the three-colored dumplings with a happy expression on her face, Uchiha Yuan put one hand on his sister's back.
A bright light appeared in his palm, and a ball of pure chakra slowly poured into the acupoint on Quan's back.
Uchiha Yuan developed a new breathing method based on the breathing method of "Sage: Ultimate Evolution" through his insights from absorbing natural energy.
He only passed this breathing technique to his younger sister Quan.
At this moment, he was transferring his chakra into his sister's body.
In order to help their children improve their physical fitness, each ninja clan has its own secret family prescriptions.
The Uchiha clan naturally has some as well, but firstly, the prescriptions and medicinal materials are very expensive; secondly, only the main branch of the clan is qualified to obtain these secret prescriptions.
The Uchiha Yuan family is just a side branch of the family and will not receive any care from the family.
Unless he has shown excellent talents since childhood and gained the attention of the family; but this is what Uchiha Yuan has always avoided.
Therefore, Uchiha Yuan used his own chakra to nourish his sister Quan, cleanse her bones and blood, and dredge her meridians.
night.
After dinner, Uchiha Yuan came to a remote warehouse in the clan’s territory.
It was dark and silent all around.
At this moment, a figure landed in front of Uchiha Yuan and knelt on one knee. It was Uchiha Daishi.
"Big brother."
Uchiha Yuan nodded slightly and asked, "You left a mark to invite me over, but what happened?"
Uchiha Daishi whispered, "Yes, brother, there are three clan members who want to join us."
After a moment of silence, Uchiha Yuan asked, "Are they coming?"
"Yes, they are waiting in the stronghold at the moment to be summoned by Big Brother."
The two figures flashed, and after a few jumps, they landed in a warehouse.
The warehouse was brightly lit, with about thirty Uchiha children gathered inside.
When Uchiha Yuan and the other man appeared in the warehouse, all the Uchiha children bowed to him.
"Big brother."
The voices were uniform and the momentum was shocking.
However, there were three other boys, about ten years old, standing aside somewhat at a loss. They looked at the scene in front of them with surprise and fear.
Then he looked at Uchiha Yuan with curiosity.
When the three boys looked at Uchiha Yuan, they met a pair of sharp and majestic eyes.
"What are your names?" Uchiha Yuan asked.
"Uchiha River."
"Uchiha Ryosuke."
"Uchiha Yong."
The three of them replied, looking at Uchiha Yuan with some hesitation.
The Uchiha Yuan that appeared was really different from the strong man they had imagined. He had a calm aura, unlike the other main family members who exuded a domineering and arrogant aura.
