Chapter 272 The Deal Between Uchiha and Orochimaru
"Itachi, Mr. Lu is right. This is the best situation for us now."
Uchiha Fugaku said, "The older generation of Hokage forces have too much conflict with us after all."
Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment and figured out the key.
High-end combat powers like Tsunade and Jiraiya would indeed be a deterrent to the outside world if they were in Konoha Village, but even if they would not run for Hokage, they might invisibly support the remnants of the Hokage lineage.
This will once again lead to entanglement in political struggles. The best situation now is that Tsunade and Jiraiya's life and death are unknown. Even if they survive, their careers as ninjas are basically over.
Having lost their fighting power, they will no longer block Uchiha's path, and they can develop more steadily.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I shouldn't question your judgment."
Itachi said with some shame. He obviously felt that he had done nothing to help his senior, but the other party had helped him manage the Uchiha situation to such an advantage. It was really inappropriate for him to question the other party.
"It doesn't matter, wake up Orochimaru first. We'd better explain something clearly in advance to avoid misunderstandings later."
Lu Li said to Itachi that he didn't want to carry the unconscious Orochimaru back.
Hearing this, Itachi immediately dismissed Tsukuyomi, and Orochimaru, who was lying on the ground, suddenly woke up.
When he opened his eyes and saw Uchiha Fugaku and his son standing together with Lu Li, Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then with his flexible mind, he instantly understood what was going on.
"Lu Jun, you are a bit unkind, taking advantage of me like this."
Orochimaru said this, but his expression was not gloomy.
In any case, his goal has been achieved. They have a cooperative relationship that uses each other.
In the end, Lu Li didn't leave him in Konoha when he completed his mission, but brought him out, which was enough for him.
"Everyone gets what they need, right? Senior, you also killed the third generation. I killed Danzo and completed the small deal with the Uchiha clan."
Lu Li spoke vaguely and had no intention of explaining it to Orochimaru in detail. The reason why he explained it a little was because he would need Orochimaru later.
The plan to destroy Konoha was more perfect than he expected, and the rise of the Uchiha clan was an inevitable trend. He would be able to complete his hidden mission by following the comments and guidance of the big boss in the space.
When he got the Mangekyou Sharingan, he wanted Orochimaru to help him develop a more advanced configuration.
"That's all, the current situation is quite interesting anyway."
Orochimaru licked the snake's head, "Well, if you wake me up at this time, you must have something to talk to me about, right?"
He knew that Lu Li could completely keep him in the dark. As long as Lu Li took him back to the base and woke him up, he said that he would take him back to Tian Country. Orochimaru felt that he could not figure out the deal between Lu Li and Uchiha.
But Lu Li didn't mean to hide it from him. If he woke him up at this time, he would probably be needed.
"It saves effort to talk to smart people like senior. Let me tell you straight. I kidnapped the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and wanted to keep him in Tian Country for you to teach him."
Lu Li made the first request first. Seeing this, the Uchiha father and son were thoughtful and did not interrupt.
"Lu Jun, this is not a nursery school. That kid looks very stupid at first glance. I don't like stupid students."
Orochimaru said with some dissatisfaction. As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Uchiha Itachi and licked his lips, "That boy from the Uchiha family, I can teach him."
He saw the power of Itachi, and also saw the Susanoo of Uchiha Fugaku, and thought that Sasuke's bloodline quality must be guaranteed and he must be a genius. He was only interested in teaching geniuses.
At the same time, he was also wondering if he could brainwash Sasuke and make him his vessel so that he could have the Sharingan.
Orochimaru's words and expression made Itachi very uncomfortable. He looked at Lu Li and said, "Senior, this matter..."
Lu Li raised his hand, "Itachi, don't worry, we haven't finished talking yet."
Orochimaru smiled sadly, "If you agree to let Sasuke stay with me, I can teach the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki together."
"Senior Orochimaru, you are not worried about organizational accountability regarding the Nine-Tails matter."
Lu Li said with a smile, knowing that Orochimaru would not refuse the temptation of the Sharingan, and he also had preventive measures.
"You've already thought of your words, haven't you? Anyway, the plan to collect Jinchuuriki has been suspended. With the Nine-Tails raised by us, Pain will feel relieved, right?"
Orochimaru said, "Besides, after we have done such a thing, it is unknown whether we can still stay in the Akatsuki organization."
"I will resolve the conflict between the Kyuubi and Akatsuki organizations. Senior, you only need to consider how to teach those two boys well. As for the reward, I believe Uchiha will satisfy you."
Lu Li had already thought about how to fool Nagato before executing the plan, and Obito's matter was the point of accountability for him, so he was not worried about what would happen next.
"Lu Jun, what do we have to pay?"
Uchiha Fugaku frowned a little. To be honest, he didn't want to teach his son to Orochimaru, an uncomfortable-looking guy, but he also felt that his father was not suitable to be a child's teacher. Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, had great teaching ability. Guaranteed.
Now Lu Li said that the reward would be given by their Uchiha, which made him a little wary.
"It's nothing, it's just what you are doing. Contribute some cells and seeds to Orochimaru-senpai for research. He has already coveted the Sharingan on his face."
Lu Li said bluntly.
After Orochimaru heard Lu Li's words, even with his shamelessness, he felt a little embarrassed. Was he so obvious?
"That's no problem, but what can be done with only these things? Even Uchiha who have normal births are not 100% eye-opening."
Uchiha Fugaku was a little puzzled. They had already begun to marry, and after tasting the benefits, they would naturally no longer resist betraying Uchiha's bloodline.
Anyway, the Uchiha Sharingan does not necessarily open eyes. It seems a bit inappropriate to say this from the position of the clan leader, but Fugaku feels that even if the average Uchiha can open his eyes, to be honest... it's just like that.
Without the kaleidoscope, Uchiha's combat power was quite average in this turbulent ninja world, and he could not influence the outcome of the war.
"Then please get some high-quality genes and don't fool Orochimaru-senpai. Accordingly..."
Lu Li looked at Orochimaru, "Senior, don't be so worthless and worry about a child all day long. I promise you that I will help you get a pair of kaleidoscopes in the future."
Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself that the kaleidoscope is not that easy to use. Now that the Uchiha clan only owns it, it is possible to use their eyes?
But Itachi reacted first, "Senior, you mean... Obito?"
When he pretended to be Lin before, the masked man was immediately fooled. Even if he thought it was outrageous, he had to admit that the masked man was Obito.
Lu Li nodded, "I feel like he didn't die in the different space. There will be another chance to fight in the future. I won't let him go next time."
Orochimaru was a little confused when he heard it, but when he saw how serious the people were, he felt that Obito might really have a pair of kaleidoscopes, which seemed to be related to space, which aroused his strong interest.
"Now that Mr. Lu has reached this point, it would be disrespectful if I don't agree. Don't worry, Sasuke will get the best education from me."
Orochimaru said with a smile that he was more willing to take the ready-made Mangekyō Sharingan than the unknown of whether Sasuke could open his eyes.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, the dog is naughty, I hope you don't dislike it."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Uchiha Fugaku knew that it was a good deal, and he was somewhat respectful to Orochimaru's tone.
He knew that the ninja world would not be peaceful in the future. After that, the Uchiha clan would be busy reviving, and he had no time to worry about Sasuke. It would be great for Sasuke to train with Orochimaru.
After all, Orochimaru will definitely not spoil Sasuke, and will definitely use bloody and cruel methods to train Sasuke into an elite, not a soft-footed shrimp in the gentle cradle of Konoha.
As someone who has been on the battlefield many times, Uchiha Fugaku is very far-sighted and does not believe that Konoha can teach better than Orochimaru.
And Sasuke was captured by the natural disaster and disappeared to the outside world, which was also a layer of cover for Uchiha's appearance. Naturally, they and Lu Li were on the opposite side, which was more conducive for them to pretend to be a 'tragic hero'
It can only be said that as the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku considers things very comprehensively, and pays more attention to interests, and even doesn't care about Sasuke's personal feelings.
Itachi was not so happy about this matter. He felt very sorry for Sasuke and was afraid that Sasuke would be wronged during Orochimaru's hell training.
But he also understands that Konoha may not be peaceful in the future. Konoha, which has lost a lot of combat power, is likely to be attacked. It may not be a good thing for Sasuke to stay in Konoha.
He and his father were okay with Sasuke going out to practice, but Itachi also had a bit of a headache when he thought about his mother's nagging when he returned home.
Fortunately, he had already taken a precaution against this matter in his mind. He felt that if Naruto and Sasuke practiced together, Konoha would have two more hidden powerful combat powers in the future.
In order to prevent the two children from being instilled with twisted thoughts by Orochimaru, Itachi decided to go to Tianno Country every month to see Sasuke and check his homework.
"How could it be possible? Since he is the son of the Fugaku clan leader, he must be a talented person. If he can control the ninja world in the future, I will be able to benefit a little bit."
Orochimaru is also a social veteran, and he is not stiff at all when it comes to being polite to Fugaku.
Sasuke didn't know at this time that he had been sold just like that in a simple conversation between a few people.
…………
The next morning, at sunrise.
Sasuke woke up slowly amid Naruto's shouts. He climbed up with his sore body and looked around in confusion.
Apart from the noisy Naruto, what came into view was the unfamiliar village outside the woods.
"Sasuke, you're awake, are you okay?"
Naruto expressed concern that they were led all the way north by Xinya yesterday and did not stop until they reached outside this village. The moment the psychic spell was released, the two of them fell from above and almost died from the fall.
It was kind-hearted Naruto who protected Sasuke and didn't let Sasuke get knocked on the head.
"I'm fine... Where is this? Where is the natural disaster? Where are my brother and father?"
Sasuke looked confused.
"I'm not sure, but Brother Lu said he would take me to a very good ninja village. I wonder if it's the one outside. Now that you're awake, let's go down and have a look."
Naruto couldn't wait to enter the village and see what was going on.
"So that's what Lu Jun said. My Sound Ninja Village is indeed a very good Ninja Village."
Just as Naruto finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from behind them, making both Naruto and Sasuke feel numb.
The two children turned around and saw Orochimaru with a 'kind' smile on his face, which made the two children turn pale with fright.
"Welcome to the Sound Ninja Village. From today on, you are my disciples, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru introduced himself, leaving Naruto and Sasuke confused.
Naruto was a little better, knowing that Orochimaru was with Lu Li, and asked carefully: "Excuse me, is this the village that Brother Lu mentioned?"
Sasuke couldn't accept it at all. He felt that his brother and father should be invincible and should be able to defeat natural disasters, but how come they were now tied to the Land of Fire! ?
Also, how could this snake-like guy in front of him, who was neither human nor ghost, want to be his teacher?
He didn't want to, learning under such an ugly guy, he would definitely become ugly, right! ?
"No, I don't want to learn from someone like you! I don't believe it, my brother and father are invincible, where are they!? They can't lose to natural disasters!"
Sasuke shouted, looking around, hoping to see the figures of his father and brother, and even more hoping that he was in a dream.
But the next moment, a familiar voice sounded, "Sasuke, don't yell, and be more respectful to your teacher in the future."
Sasuke turned his head and saw that the figure squatting on the tree branch above him was his brother, Uchiha Itachi.
Sasuke: ???
