Chapter 104 Preparation before leaving
Uchiha Feiyu was led here, and Orochimaru was already prepared to attack Danzo. However, seeing the performance of these Root ninjas, it seemed that they not only wanted to find something to hold against him, but also wanted to make a big deal out of it.

In the eyes of Konoha's top leaders, the fact that Orochimaru used members of the Uchiha clan for experiments could be considered a minor or major problem.

Human experiments were commonplace in Konoha, but using ninjas from the same village for experiments was indeed a huge taboo.

But if that ninja from the same village is an Uchiha, that's another story. Although the current Konoha high-level officials have not said that dealing with the Uchiha is politically correct, it is extremely obvious that the Uchiha and the Konoha high-level officials are not of the same mind.

If the higher-ups wanted to suppress it, as long as they didn't let the news spread, it would just be a small handle or stain. But if the news spread, it would no longer be the Uchiha clan's business.

If you can use the Uchiha clan for experiments today, can you use the Senju clan for experiments tomorrow? Can you use the Hyuga clan for experiments the day after tomorrow?

For the Konoha family ninjas, this kind of loophole must never be opened, so as long as the news spreads, Orochimaru can forget about becoming Hokage, and if he doesn't defect, he will be lucky to be able to save his life.

Looking at the Root Ninja who was trapped in the illusion, Uchiha Feiyu shrugged and said:
"It seems that the one at the root is not trying to find fault with us or to sow discord between us. He probably wants you to become a traitor or even wants you to die!"

"Hahahahahahahaha!! I really underestimated him!"

Orochimaru laughed in anger, his snake eyes shrank to the limit, revealing a hint of cold murderous intent:
"I'll make a note of this for him!"

Uchiha Feiyu twitched his lips, found a stool and sat down, looking at his cheap teacher who was getting angry, and directly reminded him:

"Teacher, don't be so angry. Think about what you should do next."

"No matter what, the fact that you used the Uchiha clan as an experiment is unchangeable. I don't believe that Danzo didn't leave other clues."

"And as long as you rely on the Root to transport materials for human experiments, Danzo will always have something to hold against you."

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then said coldly:

"This is not Danzo's problem... Danzo alone can't turn against me!"

Nowadays, Orochimaru has almost been destined to become the Fourth Hokage. Even if he made any mistakes at this time, Danzo would not just overturn the table. At least he would have to report and discuss with the Konoha high-level leaders before making a final decision.

Not to mention the research on the Uchiha clan and Hashirama's cells, Danzo already knew all about it very clearly, and Danzo's knowledge of it meant that the Third Hokage knew about it as well.

Don’t be fooled by the Third Hokage’s indulgent attitude towards Danzo. In fact, just look at the situation of both parties and you will know who is at a higher level.

Danzo messed around with a lot of things in the Konoha Village. In addition to making the Third Hokage's position more secure, he also got himself a lot of blame.

If you say that this guy's rank is higher than the Third Hokage, and that he could do such a thing without telling the Third Hokage, then probably only a newly graduated Genin would believe it.

So even though it was Danzo who took action, the person who instructed him to do it was definitely the Third Hokage!

"So, it is the Hokage who wants to attack you! Is it because your reputation is too high, and you are almost destined to become the Fourth Hokage?"

"Then if the Third Hokage really wants to attack you, teacher, what are you going to do?"

What to do? Orochimaru has never been a person who would swallow his anger, especially when he knew that the person who stabbed him was actually his most respected teacher.

As much respect as he had for the Third Hokage before, how much hatred he has for him now!
Snake bites are very painful!
Orochimaru chuckled, and after a moment he spoke coldly:
"Teacher probably wants me to withdraw from the competition for the Hokage position. Haha, I didn't expect that the old man is already so old, but he still can't let go of the so-called power."

"As for Danzo... after he got my research report, he must have developed some ambitions, so he wants to add fuel to the fire and force me away completely!"

"It's just that he didn't expect that you, Feiyu, don't care about the so-called Uchiha clan at all, so this kind of misunderstanding happened."

"Since they either want me to quit or leave, I might as well fulfill their wishes!"

"I just hope that they can bear the consequences of my leaving!"

Seeing the cold and resolute look on Orochimaru's face, Uchiha Feiyu knew that he was going to cause trouble, which made Uchiha Feiyu couldn't help but smile:
"In that case, how about adding me, teacher?"

"Anyway, I'm an Uchiha, and no matter how I develop in Konoha, it's just like this. I don't have any attachment to the Uchiha clan, so I might as well just have a big fight with you."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Feiyu. He did not think that the relationship between him and Uchiha Feiyu was very deep. On the contrary, Orochimaru, who knew his apprentice well, knew very well that this guy's personality was very similar to his own in some aspects, and even more cold-blooded and ruthless.

The reason why he wanted to have a big fight with me was definitely not because of his current situation, but because doing so would be of great benefit to him!
"Can you become stronger just by killing people? Or can you keep improving by relying on the blood and bones of ninjas... No wonder you, my disciple, who cherishes your life so much, want to cause trouble in Konoha now."

Orochimaru lowered his eyes and did not reveal his thoughts. No matter how many little plans Uchiha Feiyu had in his mind, as long as he could get Uchiha Feiyu's help, they would definitely be able to make a bigger trouble in Konoha.

"But Orochimaru-sensei, I also have a ninjutsu that I hope to learn from you."

"Ninjutsu? Tell me, what kind of ninjutsu is it?"

"Reincarnation from the dirty soil!"

……

When Uchiha Feiyu returned to the root of Konoha, he was holding a blood-stained bag in his hand.

The bundle was the size of a football, with blood oozing out from the bottom. Any experienced ninja could tell what was in the bundle - it should be someone's head that had just been chopped off.

"I'm going to see Danzo!"

Uchiha Feiyu spoke with a somewhat tired voice. The two Root ninjas guarding the door looked at each other and without saying much, they took Uchiha Feiyu to Danzo's office.

When Uchiha Feiyu walked through the long corridor and came to Danzo's office, he saw this old bastard sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, looking cold and calm.

"Are you back? Seeing how anxious you are, it seems that the people conducting the human experiments are not ordinary people." Danzo spoke in a faint voice, especially when he saw the blood-stained package in Uchiha Feiyu's hand, he showed a little surprise.

I really didn't expect that Uchiha Feiyu actually killed Orochimaru. This is really - great!

In any case, Orochimaru is now the most popular candidate for Hokage, and he is also Uchiha Toba's teacher. Even if Uchiha Toba had his reasons and took the name of righteousness, after doing such a thing, it would be difficult for him to be a ninja in public.

At that time, I will let Uchiha Feiyu enter the Root and become my subordinate. In that case, my possibility of becoming Hokage will greatly increase!

Without Orochimaru, the other two Sannin had no interest in the Hokage, leaving only the young Golden Flash...

While Danzo was still thinking carefully, Uchiha Feiyu had already thrown the package of human heads on the table. He used force skillfully and opened the package as soon as it fell on the table.

The head in the package looked gloomy and cruel, with messy hair standing up, wrinkled face, one eye tightly wrapped with a bandage, and a pair of X-shaped scars on the chin.

Who is this person? It's not Orochimaru at all! Wait, why does this look so familiar... Isn't this my head? ! !
Oh no, this is an illusion!
Danzo just reacted and immediately controlled the chakra in his body to surge. He used so much force that blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth. However, despite this, the head in front of him did not change at all, as if it was mocking him for his useless efforts.

How could this happen? I couldn't even use my chakra to interrupt it... Could it be a Mangekyō Sharingan illusion?

"What exactly do you want to do? Uchiha Feiyu! I clearly asked you to investigate Orochimaru who captured the Uchiha clan for human experiments. Why did you use illusion on me?"

"Huh!? How did you know that it was Orochimaru who conducted the human experiments? You figured it out a little too quickly!"

Uchiha Feiyu spoke with a grin on his face. Danzo was shocked and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. However, he had been through a lot, so he still spoke with a serious face:
"The people sent to investigate are my Root ninjas. They will naturally report to me. Isn't it normal that I know the result before that?"

"Uh...but those Root ninjas under your command were already under my illusion when they left the gate. I have read the intelligence reports every time. Why didn't I see this information?"

"You!! What have you done?! How dare you betray me!!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly, Danzo-sama?"

Uchiha Feiyu rubbed his ears, looking surprised by his voice, and said lightly:

"Anyway, the entire root has been covered by my illusion for the past six months. This kind of thing shouldn't be surprising, right?"

Half a year!? If the Root ninjas were really under the illusion half a year ago, what secrets could the Root have that could be hidden from the Uchiha brat in front of him?

Not only that, although Orochimaru conducted his own research, it was the Root that helped him, and in the end the Root also received his research results. If this kid controlled the Root for half a year, he must have known about the Uchiha's affairs a long time ago...

There are also a lot of secrets hidden in the Root, various ninja families' handles, and various black materials...

Danzo felt as if his heart had fallen into a bottomless abyss. A chill ran from the soles of his feet all the way up to his head. It was a hot summer day, but his whole body began to tremble.
"Kill him! Kill Uchiha Feiyu for me!"

"Tsk... You really don't know how to appreciate a good person! I completed your mission very well, found the mysterious organization that used the Uchiha clan for experiments, and even got the head of the leader of the mysterious organization..."

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled and pointed at Danzo's head on the table, his face full of sarcasm:

"Look, isn't this the target of the mission you're looking for?! The leader of the Root, Danzo Shimura, the culprit who attacked the Uchiha!"

At the same time as Uchiha Feiyu spoke, the ninjas who had been secretly protecting Danzo came out one by one, with the three magatama in their eyes spinning. They completely ignored Danzo's yelling and walked straight out the door.

"hateful!"

Danzo stretched out his hand with hatred on his face and made hand seals, trying to control those Root Ninjas, but found that those Root Ninjas did not react at all.

"How could that be? This old man's curse..."

"Have some common sense, Master Danzo. Your five senses have been controlled by me. How can you be sure that you are casting a seal?"

"Damn you evil Uchiha brat! Sensei is right, the Uchiha clan is Konoha's biggest destabilizing factor and should be completely destroyed!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're right, I thought so too, so in order to not be destroyed by you, I will scatter your ashes now!"

……

In reality, Orochimaru stood next to Uchiha Feiyu, watching Danzo dancing and shouting at the air like a monkey, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"What a terrifying illusion. It controlled the roots silently for half a year, and no one noticed it?"

"To be precise, I didn't control the roots, but manipulated their five senses to make them ignore me. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to weave illusions for each of them and make their five senses feel real."

"And this kind of illusion has a certain distance requirement. It can only be truly controlled if it is within my visual range."

As Uchiha Feiyu spoke, he grabbed Danzo's throat and turned to look at Orochimaru:

"Do you still need this guy? If not, I will just kill him."

"You seem to have some hatred towards Danzo... Logically speaking, it should be a better choice to keep this guy! Even if he leaves Konoha, I believe this Dark Ninja will not be reluctant to cooperate with us."

"There is indeed a bit of personal hatred. I have read the memories of many Root ninjas, and this old man seems to have something to do with the death of my parents."

"It's just that I still needed him before, so I didn't kill him directly. Now that I'm ready to leave, it's natural to take revenge and settle grievances."
