Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Uchiha Shisui recently welcomed a new inmate, who is from Konoha just like him and Hyuga Makoto, who is working intensively. The only difference is probably that Mitarai Anko is a girl.

Uchiha Shisui was originally a little curious about how Kaguya Rei, a young ninja who was a disciple of Orochimaru like Mitarashi Anko, got her to come to Kirigakure Village, but when he heard from Kaguya Rei When he heard the news that Orochimaru was included in the list of S-class rebel ninjas by Konoha, his whole body fell into a daze because of this shocking fact.

"I can't understand it, the Fourth Mizukage."

After coming back to his senses, Uchiha Shisui looked at Rei Kaguya, who was sitting at the end of the dining table, enjoying a steamed deep-sea lobster with a relaxed expression, and asked the other party using the new name he had recently come up with:

"Why would even someone like Orochimaru, who holds a high position and is a disciple of the Hokage, choose to betray the village? The fact that Konoha Village can develop to what it is now must be due to his hard work, right? Why... can he do it so easily? How about giving up everything related to Konoha?"

"What you said makes me suspect that you haven't read the history of Konoha and your Uchiha clan, Shisui."

Kaguya swallowed a piece of sweet and tender lobster, looked at Uchiha Shisui with a half-smile and said:

"The original Uchiha Madara founded the Leaf Village with Senju Hashirama, and almost became the first Hokage... What happened next? Didn't he give up the village and the country for the path he saw? The family, and even the Nine-Tails returned with it, do you want to burn the hard work of yourself and your best friends?"

"These two things...are not the same, right?"

Uchiha Shisui was silent for a while, looking at the clawed crab on the plate in front of him with complicated eyes.

"As for Madara, according to what I heard from the elders in the clan, even long after Konoha was established, he has always been feared by other people in the village...except Senju Hashirama. , he has almost no friends in the village, so I think it is understandable that he finally chose to give up everything he had in Konoha and fly away."

"But Orochimaru is different. He is a local who was born and raised in Konoha. His teacher is the Third Hokage. His companions are Tsunade Hime from the Senju clan and Jiraiya who is favored by Toad Sage. There are countless people in Konoha. Ninjas have received his command and protection, and a large number of young ninjas are willing to become his followers, and many even hope that he can become the Fourth Hokage..."

"He has so many bonds, why can he still cut them all off without any pressure?"

Mitarashi Anko, who was dining next to her, had an expressionless face and said nothing, but her perked ears exposed her inner curiosity about her master Orochimaru to Kaguya Rei's eyes.

"Simple, because the path he wants to take is different from the path Konoha wants to take."

Kaguya Rei continued to cut the lobster in front of her with the knife and fork in her hand, her tone as calm as if she was commenting on the saltiness of today's dinner.

"As for Orochimaru, although he is a disciple of the old Konoha Masaru in all senses, his thoughts are different from those of Konoha ninjas who are normally influenced by the will of fire.

Maybe he had the idea of ​​sacrificing himself to protect the village when he didn't recognize himself before, but from the fact that Orochimaru got together with Danzo behind him, it can be seen that he has clearly figured out one thing. ——He cannot be like those who can become Hokage and value other people's lives more important than his own. "

"Lord Orochimaru, he...he didn't..."

Mitarashi Anko made a weak protest that even she couldn't convince herself. Kaguya Rei glanced at the girl whom Orochimaru paid to her as a deposit, and then said:

"What kind of place is 'root' and what kind of style it is? I shouldn't need to do more science popularization with you guys... If Danzo Shimura is still alive, with his strength and accumulated power, after the Fourth Hokage takes the throne , even if 'Gen' can't act as arrogantly and domineeringly as he did during the Third Hokage period, he won't be immediately suppressed and out of breath.

But the problem is that Danzo is dead, and the biggest support for the existence of "root" has disappeared, and the third generation of Hokage has also taken away the ownership of the root from Orochimaru, the only one who can continue to provide shelter to the "root"... So... It is self-evident how Ye plans to deal with the 'roots' buried deep in the darkness next. "

"In this case, Orochimaru who joined the darkness is equivalent to being completely excluded from the core of Konoha's power. For Orochimaru, since Konoha no longer has a ship that can carry his dreams, then and Konoha It is a normal choice for Ye to break up and pursue his own ideals."

"But I didn't expect that the two sides could cut each other's skin to such an extent that they would show no mercy."

After listening to Kaguya Rei's sharp comments, Uchiha Shisui picked up the crab's two large pincers and muttered to himself in a daze:

"Is the road war... really so cruel that it can make people abandon their hometown, relatives and friends, teachers, memories and all ties?"

"A quarrel that breaks out when neither person feels they are at fault will be so intense that they hate each other to the bone. Disputes about ideas and paths are usually based on the fact that both parties feel that they are That’s the correct premise.”

While Kaguya Rei said this, he unabashedly cast a thoughtful and very malicious look at Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Shisui was so stunned by Kaguya Rei's gaze that he felt his scalp tingling. After feeling numb, he asked with a chill all over his body:

"Why, why are you looking at me suddenly?"

"Because I think you will be a good and vivid example, Shisui."

Kaguya Rei snapped her fingers and said with a kind smile:

"I think in a few years, I should be able to transform you into an internationalist ninja who firmly believes that peace in the ninja world can be truly realized without having Konoha as the absolute core. If Kirigakure and Konoha jointly organize a Chuunin Examination, and then I send you as the leading Jonin to Konoha for exchanges..."

"How much fierce quarrels do you think will break out between you and your friends in Konoha and the relatives of the Uchiha clan, Shisui?"

Looking at Uchiha Shisui, whose face instantly turned pale, and Kaguya Rei, who giggled very evilly, Mitarashi Anko silently took today's dinner into her mouth.

No wonder Orochimaru-sama sent me as a disciple to Kirigakure... Probably only the Fourth Mizukage, who is good at playing with people's minds and has a weird mind, can get along with Orochimaru-sama as an equal. Ally?

No, that's not right. If you think about it this way, wouldn't it mean that Orochimaru-sama is also a person with a very strange mind?

…

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Looking at Madara Uchiha who was coughing more frequently and violently in front of him, Obito Uchiha frowned slightly and asked unhappily:

"Are you going to die, Madara?"

"Unfortunately, although my body has been getting weaker and weaker, as long as the Heretic Golem is still under my control, this body will not completely die due to aging..."

After Uchiha Madara breathed hard for a while, he looked at Uchiha Obito's right eye that exuded a mysterious and dangerous aura, grinned and said:

"It can be seen that your eye power has increased rapidly recently...is it because Kaguya Rei's actions have become more and more bold?"

"The war is over, but that guy's speed of getting stronger may not slow down because of this..." Uchiha Obito shook his right hand vigorously, frowning, "I must find a way to surpass you before he can Before, he had power over him.”

"Then go get your other eye back, Obito," Uchiha Madara said weakly, looking at Obito's three-wheeled kaleidoscopic rotating Mangekyō Sharingan:

"Only by having two Mangekyō Sharingan Eyes at the same time can it truly unleash its full power... Especially for a Mangekyō Sharingan like you with special abilities, the increase and improvement brought about by having both eyes together will far exceed yours. Imagine.”

"After I learn all your knowledge, I will get my eyes back...but now, I have to improve the parts that I lack."

Uchiha Obito expressionlessly rejected Uchiha Madara's proposal, and said in a tone so calm that it made people feel chilled:

"That guy's physique should be close to that of your old rival Senju Hashirama. I must improve my level of ninjutsu and taijutsu to be close to your peak level before I can hope to defeat him. Otherwise, even if I have full divine power, it’s hard for me to guarantee that I can kill him on the spot.”

"You brazen brat, you talk as if you have seen Hashirama and I in our heyday..."

Uchiha Madara first glared at Obito with some displeasure, then narrowed his eyes and said:

"But you are right, that boy is indeed not an enemy that can be fought with just a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan... Since you don't plan to get your eyes back now, then go and help me secure another pair. The eyes are still under our control."

"Another pair of eyes?" Obito frowned.

"That was the investment I made in another boy in order to realize the Eye of the Moon plan. It was already time to let him know about our existence and fall into darkness, but because of Kaguya Rei's interference, As a result, the owner of the eyes escaped from the situation I set for him without permission, and showed signs of losing control..."

Madara Uchiha coughed a few more times, then called out White Zetsu's clone from the ground, leaning back with a weak breath.

"Follow Bai Zetsu to the Land of Rain. He will tell you exactly what to do...don't let me down, Obito."

"You don't need to tell me."

Obito put his hand on Bai Zetsu's body, snorted coldly, and disappeared into the dark underground with it.

But before disappearing, a trace of doubt and a trace of thinking flashed through his indifferent Mangekyō Sharingan.

That person escaped the trap you set... What about me?

The updates in the past two days have really taken a toll on my crotch, so I’ll try my best to make up for it...
