Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 32: Undercurrent
Hyuga Kagami's expression changed when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal and replied respectfully: "The assessment went well. The third generation has arranged for me to enter the ANBU."
As soon as he finished the special Jonin test, Orochimaru knew about it, which somewhat surprised Hyuga Kagami. Obviously, Orochimaru was not the only spy planted in the village.
Orochimaru put down his wine glass, stared at Hyuga Kagami with a stern expression and asked: "King, your recent growth is somewhat beyond my expectations. Is there any secret? Or is it that Byakugan's research has yielded results? ”
Hyuga Kagami's recent strength improvement is very significant. Those who don't know him may think that this is just a normal awakening of blood. After all, Hyuga Kagami is in the age group where his strength is rapidly improving, such as Kai, Asuma, etc. People, during this period of time, their strength is also improving rapidly. It can be said that it changes every day.
But Orochimaru is different. He knows Hyuga Kagami very well and knows that Hyuga Kagami does not belong to the type of ninja with extraordinary talents, so Hyuga Kagami's recent performance arouses his suspicion.
Naturally, Hinata Jing would not admit anything. He shook his head: "The research of Xuejie is not something that happens overnight. You should know this better than me."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes noncommittally: "Really..."
Orochimaru knew that Hyuga Kagami had only participated in the research for a few years. It was unlikely that results would be produced in such a short period of time. Moreover, he had also inspected Hyuga Kagami's laboratory, which contained some of the most basic genetic testing data. , there is no part involving in vivo testing at all.
Just imagine, there are not even in vivo experiments, let alone the results.
Of course, Orochimaru didn't know that Hyuga Mirror had actually conducted an in vivo test, and the test subject was himself, so naturally there was no relevant test data.
After a while, Orochimaru smiled and said: "It seems that I was wrong before. You not only have the potential to become a scientific researcher, but also have the potential to become an excellent ninja."
"Thank you for the compliment!"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Orochimaru smiled: "I met an interesting guy recently, and he asked me for your information."
"Who?"
"The Red Sand Scorpion of Sunagakure." Staring at the Hyuga Mirror, Orochimaru asked word by word: "Have you seen it?"
Hyuga Mirror nodded calmly: "We did have a chance encounter."
Obviously, during this period of time, Scorpion and Orochimaru have joined Akatsuki one after another, and as Orochimaru is one of the Sannin of Konoha, it is natural for Scorpion to inquire about Hyuga Mirror's information from him.
Hyuga Mirror had already expected this, so he did not show any surprise.
Seeing that Hyuga Kagami's expression remained the same as before, Orochimaru continued: "He seems to want to kill you. How did you get into trouble with him?"
Hyuga Kagami believed that with Scorpion's pride, he would not tell Orochimaru about his defeat in detail, so he briefly talked about Konoha's operation to cleanse him, but omitted the accidental capture of the third generation. The thing about the Kazekage puppet.
After finishing speaking, Hyuga Jing said with a smile: "Maybe a little guy like me escaped with his life, which makes him feel very embarrassed."
Hearing this, Orochimaru burst into a rare laugh.
What Hyuga Kagami didn't know was that although Orochimaru and Scorpion temporarily formed a duo, they did not get along happily.
They are also obsessed with immortality. One is following the path of biotechnology and the other is following the path of mechanical technology. They have both reached the threshold of immortality in their respective fields. It is conceivable that their scientific views are different. How sharp the differences can be.
After laughing for a while, Orochimaru said: "Although I didn't tell him the information about you, he must have other sources of information, so you have to be careful. He is a paranoid guy, and I don't want him to I see you among the puppets in my collection."
Hyuga Mirror immediately smiled bitterly: "It is really not a pleasant experience to be hated by such a strong person."
The land of the Uchiha clan.
Seeing Zhisui's figure, Itachi, who was wandering on the roadside, quickly greeted him: "Brother Zhisui, did the assessment go well this time?"
Shisui stroked Itachi's head: "Well, it went well."
"So, Brother Shisui, you are already a special jounin?" Itachi was delighted when he heard this, and immediately asked: "What is the content of the assessment? Tell me quickly."
Shisui immediately told interesting stories from the special jounin examination.
Itachi listened carefully for a while and suddenly asked: "Brother Zhisui must have easily defeated all his opponents, right?"
Shisui's face froze, and then he shook his head slightly: "In the last round of competition, I lost to my opponent, but the Hokage thought that I performed well, and finally gave me permission to be promoted to a special jounin."
Itachi said in shock: "Lost? This...how is this possible!"
Shisui, the title of Uchiha's number one genius, was not something Uchiha boasted behind closed doors, but was supported by his achievements.
Shisui has the strength of a jounin, which has long been recognized in the Uchiha clan, so Itachi never expected that someone could defeat Shisui in this special jounin test.
"I never thought I would lose." He smiled helplessly, and Shisui continued: "You also know the person who defeated me, he is Kagami-senpai of the Hinata family."
Itachi suddenly thought: "Senior Jing..."
Itachi has been far more sensitive than ordinary people since he was a child. He is good at observation and can always find details that others cannot notice. Because of this, he was keenly aware of the two-tailed Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure last time. To Hyuga Mirror, he is not too afraid of the other party.
At that moment, he guessed that Hyuga Kagami was no ordinary chuunin.
Shisui said seriously at this time: "Itachi~IndoMTL.com~ There are many strong people in the village. We cannot be blinded by the power of the Sharingan, and we must always remain humble."
Itachi seemed to understand somewhat, but still nodded seriously.
Looking at the tribesmen coming and going in the distance, Zhisui asked in a depressed mood: "What did you see in them?"
Itachi observed carefully for a while and said: "Proud!"
"Yes, they are proud to be born in the Uchiha clan." After a pause, Shisui then said in a deep voice: "But this pride is too much, too much for us to bear!"
In the previous contest with Hyuga Kage, Shisui not only did not have the ability to use the Mangekyō Sharingan, he even had reservations about conventional means.
The reason why he did this was not only because he noticed the village's suspicion of Uchiha, but also because he clearly felt the undercurrent within Uchiha.
Even other ninja villages know that the village's vitality has been severely damaged, not to mention the Uchiha clan living in the village.
There has never been a shortage of careerists in the Uchiha clan, but there were too many strong men in the village such as the Sannin, the Fourth Generation, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, etc., so Uchiha could only choose to stay dormant.
But now there is only one Jiraiya left among the Sannin, and he is not in the village most of the time. The fourth generation and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki have also died in the battle. There is only one person left in the village who can make Uchiha feel afraid. The third generation, Danzo's group of old people, so the ambitions of many people in the Uchiha clan have exploded uncontrollably.
Shisui had no ability to extinguish the surging ambition within the clan. All he could do was try his best to contain it, so he chose to lose to Hyuga Kagami in the selection. The purpose was to let the clan know that there were countless masters in the village, and blindly His ambition will only completely destroy the Uchiha clan...
