Chapter 32: Undercurrents

Hinata Mirror's face changed when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal, and replied respectfully: "Everything went well in the assessment, and the third generation has arranged for me to enter the dark department." ”

As soon as he finished the assessment of the special ninja on his front foot, he knew it on the back foot, which somewhat surprised Hinata, obviously, he was not the only spy that Orochimaru planted in the village.

Orochimaru put down his wine glass, stared at Hyuga Mirror with a grim expression and asked, "Mirror, your recent growth has been somewhat unexpected by me, is there any secret?" Or is it that the research on the white eye has come to fruition? ”

The recent improvement in the strength of the Hyuga Mirror is very significant, and those who don't know him may think that this is just a normal awakening of the bloodline, after all, the Hyuga Mirror is in the age group where the strength is rapidly improving, such as Kai, Asma and others, during this time, the strength is also improving rapidly, which can be said to be a change every day.

But Orochimaru is different, he knows Hinata Mirror very well, and knows that Hyuga Mirror does not belong to the type of ninja who is talented, so Hyuga Mirror's recent performance has aroused his suspicions.

Hyuga Mirror naturally wouldn't admit anything, he shook his head: "The study of blood inheritance is not an overnight thing, you should know this better than me." ”

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes noncommittally: "Really..."

Orochimaru knew that Hyuga Mirror had only participated in research for a few years, and it was unlikely that such a short period of time would produce results, and he had also checked Hyuga Mirror's laboratory, which was full of the most basic genetic testing data, and there was no part of the live test at all.

Just imagine, there is not even a live experiment, let alone the results.

Of course, Orochimaru didn't know that Hyuga had actually done a live test, and the object of the test was himself, so naturally there was no relevant test data.

After a moment, Orochimaru smiled, "It seems that I have seen it before, you not only have the potential to become a scientific researcher, but also the potential to become an excellent ninja." ”

"Thanks for the compliment!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Orochimaru smiled instead, "Recently I met an interesting guy who asked me for your information. ”

"Who?"

"The red sand scorpion of the sand hidden." Staring at the Hyuga mirror, Orochimaru asked word by word, "Have you seen it?" ”

Hinata nodded calmly: "There was indeed a relationship." ”

Obviously, during this time, Scorpion and Orochimaru have joined Akatsuki successively, and Orochimaru, as one of the three ninjas of Konoha, it is only natural for Scorpion to ask him for information about the Hyuga Mirror.

For this, Hyuga Mirror had already expected this, so he didn't show a look of surprise.

Seeing Hinata's expression as before, Orochimaru continued: "He seems to want to kill you, how did you provoke him?" ”

Hinata believed that with the pride of the scorpion, he would not tell Orochimaru in detail about his deflatedness, so he briefly talked about the operation of Konoha to clean him, but omitted the matter of accidentally capturing the puppet of the three generations of Wind Shadow people.

After speaking, Hinata Kagami smiled: "A little person like me escaped from his hands, maybe it made him feel very shameless." ”

When Orochimaru heard this, he laughed out loud rarely.

What Hinata doesn't know is that although Orochimaru and Scorpion have temporarily formed a duo, they don't get along well.

They are also obsessed with eternal life, one is on the path of biotechnology, the other is on the road of mechanical technology, and they have touched the threshold of immortality in their respective fields, so you can imagine how sharp their differences in scientific views will be.

After laughing for a while, Orochimaru said, "Although I didn't tell him 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 to see you in his collection of puppets." ”

Hinata immediately smiled bitterly: "It's really not a pleasant experience to be hated by such a strong person." ”

Uchiha clan land.

Seeing the figure of Zhishui, the weasel wandering on the side of the road hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Zhishui, did this assessment go well?" ”

Zhishui stroked Itachi's head: "Well, it's going well." ”

"So, Brother Zhishui, you are already very forbearing?" Itachi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What is the content of the assessment, tell me quickly." ”

Zhishui immediately talked about the interesting story of the special forbearance assessment.

Itachi listened carefully for a while, and suddenly asked, "Brother Zhishui must have defeated all his opponents easily, right?" ”

Shisui's face froze, and then he shook his head slightly: "In the last round of the competition, I lost to my opponent, but Hokage-sama thought I performed well, and finally allowed me to be promoted to Special Shinobi." ”

Itachi exclaimed, "Lost? This... How is this possible! ”

The name of the first day of Uchiha's talent is not something that Uchiha himself boasted behind closed doors, but is supported by his achievements.

Shisui has the strength of Shangnin, which has long been recognized within the Uchiha clan, so Itachi never thought that in this special Shinobi assessment, someone would be able to defeat Shisui.

"I didn't think I'd lose." Smiled helplessly, Zhishui continued: "The person who defeated me, you also know, is the mirror predecessor of the Hyuga family. ”

Itachi suddenly said: "Mirror senior..."

Since he was a child, Itachi has a sharp mind far beyond ordinary people, and he is good at observation, and he can always find details that others can't notice, and because of this, the last time he encountered Yunyin's two-tailed human pillar force, he was keenly aware that the Hyuga mirror was not too afraid of the other party.

At that moment, he guessed that the Hyuga mirror was by no means an ordinary shinobi.

At this time, Zhishui said solemnly: "Itachi, there are endless strong people in the village, we must not be blinded by the power of the Writing Wheel Eye, we must always remain humble." ”

Itachi didn't seem to understand, but nodded earnestly.

Looking at the clansmen coming and going in the distance, Zhishui asked in a somewhat depressed mood, "What do you see from them?" ”

Itachi looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Pride! ”

"Yes, they're proud to be born into the Uchiha clan." After a pause, Zhishui then said in a deep voice: "But this pride is too much, so much that we can't bear it!" ”

In the previous battle with the Hyuga Mirror, not only did he not have the ability to use the kaleidoscope to write the wheel eye, but even in the conventional means, he also had reservations.

And the reason why he did this was not only because he was aware of the village's suspicion of the Uchiha, but also because he clearly felt the undercurrent inside the Uchiha.

Even the other ninja villages knew about the great damage to the village, 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 people in the village before, such as the three ninjas, the four generations, the nine-tailed pillar power, etc., and the Uchiha could only choose to hibernate.

But now there is only one Jiraiya left in the three ninjas, and most of the time he is not in the village, the four generations and the nine-tailed people are also killed in battle, and there are only three generations left in the village that can make the Uchiha feel jealous, and the group of old people in the group is gone, so the ambitions of many people in the Uchiha clan have exploded irrepressibly.

Shisui didn't have the ability to extinguish the surging ambition in the clan, all he could do was try his best to curb it, so he chose to lose to Hinata Mirror in the selection, the purpose was to let the clan understand that there were countless masters in the village, and blind ambition would only completely destroy the Uchiha clan...
