Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 29: Fujigaku's Swing and Vibration
"Are you sure Orochimaru wants to visit me?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shisui in front of him, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"It is indeed what Lord Orochimaru said to me." Shisui nodded affirmatively. He felt somewhat happy in his heart. He felt that he had become a person who could connect the village's top leaders with the clan members to ease the relationship. He was very happy.

"Did he say what it was because of?" Uchiha Fugaku suppressed his excitement and asked.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, he didn't care about a visit from the village's top leaders. What he cared about was the significance of Orochimaru, who was currently the most likely to become the fourth generation, visiting in person.

"Lord Orochimaru didn't say, but I guess it might be related to the technical development department." Shisui shook his head, but still gave his own guess.

"Technical Development Department?" Fugaku thought. This department founded by Orochimaru has attracted a lot of attention in recent times, including the heads of the major ninja clans and the senior ninjas.

Compared to independent jonin, the head of a clan would be more willing to think about what this behavior represents.

In the eyes of Fugaku, who believed that Orochimaru would most likely become the future Fourth Hokage, this was equivalent to the Sandaime taking the opportunity to pave the way for his disciple's path to becoming Hokage.

So far, there are only a handful of departments in Konoha Village that have the ability to mobilize, recruit, and train corresponding ninjas and personnel.

One is Konoha's Anbu and the Root which is considered a part of the Anbu; the other is the medical department established by Tsunade; the Intelligence Interrogation Department is used to process, dig out intelligence and conduct interrogations.

Then, there is Orochimaru's technical development department.

"Please tell Orochimaru that I will be waiting for him at home." Fugaku nodded. He was indeed not good at making decisions, but that did not mean that he could not see the current situation clearly and was unwilling to ease the situation.

Since he took over the position of clan leader, his greatest wish has been to allow his clan members to integrate into the village and to have an Uchiha Hokage emerge in the next generation!
All the tribesmen dream of this wish.

However, he hoped that this wish could be achieved through gentle means. However, the radical faction in the family wanted to take it by force if the village did not agree.

There is no hope for the fourth generation, even if the third generation is willing to accept an Uchiha disciple to train, there is not much hope. But the fifth and sixth generations can still be expected.

As long as Orochimaru can become the fourth generation!

Senior Jing died too early!
Looking at Shisui in front of him, Fugaku sighed inwardly again.

……

The next day.

Orochimaru's team finished training in the woods.

Orochimaru, who received accurate information from Shisui, immediately led his team and followed Shisui to the Uchiha clan's territory.

"It's Lord Orochimaru!"

"What is he here for?"

"I heard that he came to visit the clan leader."

"You value Shisui's talent and want to formally recruit him as your disciple? Even though he's not an Uchiha, it's fine."

Many Uchiha clan members were surprised to see Orochimaru and his party in the Uchiha clan territory. Few people are willing to come to the Uchiha clan territory, especially the top leaders of Konoha.

The most common people here are the Anbu figures who are delivering missions and information.

"Lord Orochimaru." Uchiha Fugaku bowed slightly to Orochimaru respectfully in front of the door and invited him to come in. "Is this your child Itachi?" Orochimaru saw the child being led by a woman and stepped forward to touch his head. "Shisui told me that he is a very talented Uchiha."

Fugaku's face suddenly lit up. For him, it was an honor for the child's talent and strength to be recognized by a ninja of Orochimaru's level!

This kind of thing is very common in the ninja world.

For example, the title of the Three Ninjas originally came from the recognition of Hanzo, the Rain Ninja Demigod. No matter what the circumstances were for Hanzo to recognize this title, and whether Orochimaru and the others would think it was a humiliation, the recognition of the strong to the weak is one of the fastest ways to become famous in the ninja world.

The group sat down at the table in the yard. Orochimaru's golden eyes glanced at the family of three opposite him and took the initiative to say, "Fugaku-kun, you should know my technical development department, right?"

"Yes." Fugaku nodded. The establishment of this department was known to almost everyone in the jonin, and he couldn't say that he didn't know.

"Do you want to get involved?" Orochimaru asked abruptly.

"Invest? Do you mean we need manpower or something else?" Fugaku's heart tensed for a moment. He was not afraid of being given some manpower, but he was afraid that Orochimaru would want the Uchiha clan to take sides with empty words.

The Uchiha clan was not at the end of their rope yet, and was still one of the powerful clans in the village. As the clan leader, even if he was inclined towards Orochimaru, he would not immediately agree to take sides.

"Manpower, resources, and money." Orochimaru laid out the conditions very straightforwardly: "The establishment of the Technology Development Department must produce some results.

At present, there have been some achievements in the first generation of Wood Release, but I think it is not enough. If Uchiha is willing, I am willing to provide some technical support to Uchiha. "

"I don't quite understand what you mean. When you say technical support, do you mean ninjutsu?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned.

As a powerful clan, the Uchiha clan is not short of ninjutsu, and they are even better at using their Sharingan to fight. The copying eye possessed by the Sharingan has allowed them to accumulate a terrifying number of ninjutsu over the past thousands of years.

"Mangekyo!" Orochimaru whispered something that made Uchiha Fugaku's face change drastically.

"Mangekyo?" Fugaku's voice was so high that it broke. He looked at Orochimaru's face in shock. If the person sitting opposite him was not Orochimaru, he would have chased him away as soon as he said this.

"I can help study how to allow Uchiha to open his eyes smoothly, as well as how to open the Mangekyō. As long as you provide the corresponding information and resources." Orochimaru affirmed his words.

"This is unbelievable." Fugaku's hands were shaking. Itachi looked at his father in confusion, wondering why his father, who was always dignified and calm, suddenly became so excited.

But he was so smart that he remembered the word "kaleidoscope" that shocked his father deeply in his heart.

"Nothing is impossible. Think about it. If the Uchiha can have a pair of Mangekyō, then even if it's not as good as Uchiha Madara, it can at least make the Uchiha's status as a wealthy family more stable, right?"

Orochimaru's voice was calm, but to Fugaku's ears, it sounded like the most bewitching monster.

"I need to convene a clan meeting." Fugaku frowned and thought for a moment, then he sighed dejectedly and bowed slightly to Orochimaru opposite him.

"I'll be waiting for your news. Also, let me tell you a secret. The Senju clan's Wood Release experiment has already been successful. One of the test subjects has already possessed the Wood Release Bloodline Limit." When Orochimaru was about to get up and leave, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and told Fugaku another piece of news that made Fugaku's heart agitated and he could hardly control himself.

Wood escape?

The Senju clan, which has almost completely integrated into the village through massive intermarriage with outsiders, actually possessed Wood Release?
Fugaku thought with a bit of a loss of focus.
