"This ...... Yes, Orochimaru...... Orochimaru-sama. ”

When Orochimaru heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth opened with a meaningful smile.

Shinsuke Uchiha's reaction was a bit strange.

With the observation ability of the Sharingan, didn't he see the ninja standing with the patriarch for the first time? Or did you not recognize the long and very personal Orochimaru?

According to common sense, both of these questions can be dismissed.

Uchiha Shinsuke recognized Orochimaru, and thinking about the family's recent predicament, realized the meaning of Orochimaru and the patriarch standing together: the patriarch wanted to rely on Orochimaru's prestige and power.

Uchiha Shinsuke has a quick mind and can afford to be smart, but what did he do?

He didn't salute respectfully like the object of the family's request for help at the first time, and he didn't have too much gratitude on his face after receiving help, but turned his eyes to the almighty patriarch.

Why?

Obviously, he didn't think it would be honorable to accept Orochimaru's help.

Orochimaru licked his lips and said in a secret funny voice.

Smart, arrogant, and reckless...... This was the first impression that Shinsuke Uchiha gave him.

I don't know if it's like like a group, in the security team in front of me, the expressions and behaviors of each team member and Uchiha Shinsuke have seven or eight images.

Juvenile mentality!

Fugaku's face was ugly, what Orochimaru saw, he saw more clearly as the patriarch, and when he saw that Uchiha Shinsuke was slow to move, he reprimanded, "According to what Orochimaru-sama said, don't go quickly." ”

"Yes!"

Uchiha Shinsuke retreated and left with the guard.

"Patriarch Fuyue, your people are really eye-opening."

Orochimaru smiled, trying not to let his tone be mocking, "With a clan with such a character, there aren't many choices you can make. ”

Hearing this, Fu Yue's expression became a little gloomy again.

"They can be emotional, you are the head of the clan, do you have to regret it until the situation is so bad that it is irreparable?"

Orochimaru changed his usual habit of smiling coldly, and his tone was almost seductive, "Uchiha has to go through such a situation, you have to be clear, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught, do you want to see that every time the village is attacked in the future, the blame will be attributed to the Uchiha?" ”

"The village also has a limit to patience, more than a certain amount will explode, you should know what the consequences will be."

Fu Yue lowered his head and said nothing, and his face changed for a while.

"Or do you want to lead the Uchiha in rebellion and take the right to speak yourself?"

"That's enough, you don't have to say any more, this thing ...... I agree. ”

Fu Yue raised his head and gritted his teeth as he spoke, each word as if squeezed out of his throat.

Fugaku hates it now, not only hating Madara for leading the tailed beast to attack the village and laying the mustard for Uchiha and the village, but also hating the mastermind behind the scenes this time, doing things without concealment, and having no scruples about the people in the village.

"Very well, let's move on to the details."

……

In the Uchiha Clan.

In the shade of a tree, Itachi, who had just finished lunch, was breastfeeding Sasuke in his arms not long after he was born.

Seeing Sasuke snorting and sucking on the bottle, Itachi couldn't help but smile.

He enjoyed his brother's dependence and affection for him.

"Itachi-kun ......"

A girl with a ponytail ran from afar, waving as she ran.

"Izumi."

Itachi nodded to the girl and continued to watch her brother drink milk.

Izumi Uchiha is the girl he met on the night of the Nine-Tails and happened to save her life, and Izumi has been coming to talk to him ever since.

"Ah, little Sasuke is drinking milk, so cute."

Izumi leaned down and leaned her face in, "Can I hug him?" ”

Itachi refused without hesitation, "No, you're going to make him cry, last time." ”

Izumi thought of the last experience of being disliked, and her little face wrinkled, "What, it was an accident, this time I will be very careful, very careful, while he is concentrating on drinking milk." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and slowly took them from Itachi's hands.

As expected, with his talent, Sasuke easily sensed the girl's drunken intentions, and began to struggle and cry.

Itachi hurriedly hugged little Sasuke back and easily coaxed him.

And Izumi was disgusted twice and fell into doubts in life, and the ponytail stopped and didn't shake off.

“……”

"That's my father."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure, and Itachi trotted straight in that direction.

Soon, he came to the vicinity of Uchiha Fugaku, and also saw the figure standing beside his father, instinctively, he felt that this man was in some danger, and he couldn't help but stop.

However, as if noticing this, the two walked in this direction.

The two children diluted the calm atmosphere, and Orochimaru looked Itachi up and down, and his heart moved, "This is your son, introduce me?" ”

At the mention of his son, Fugaku's face that had been tense stretched slightly, and there was a little pride in his tone, "He is my eldest son, Itachi, and the younger one is called Sasuke." Itachi, this is Orochimaru-sama. ”

"Yes, father." Itachi hugged Sasuke and bowed slightly, "Orochimaru-sama." ”

"Itachi?"

Orochimaru thought softly.

For some reason, he sensed some malice in the name.

Probably because in nature, ferrets are natural enemies of snakes.

'Predators'

This word flashed through his mind, and Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh.

"Orochimaru-sama?" Fu Yue looked puzzled, not knowing why he was laughing.

"No, nothing."

Orochimaru shook his head, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by Itachi's calm temperament, especially his quiet eyes, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

So Orochimaru turned his head and asked, "Itachi, haven't gone to ninja school yet?" ”

Fugaku nodded, Itachi is six years old this year, and it will not officially start until the new class of students enrolls.

"I can tell he's a genius."

Orochimaru said directly, "I want to accept him as a disciple, how about it?" ”

"This ......"

Fu Yue's face changed slightly, and he didn't know how to respond.

In all fairness, the three ninjas are the strongest people at the pinnacle of the ninja world, and with them as teachers, the education they receive is definitely the highest quality.

However, Orochimaru's reputation is not good after all.

"Patriarch Fugaku, in Konoha, the Uchiha is also qualified to dislike me?"

Orochimaru saw what Fu Yue was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help but snort lightly, feeling dissatisfied.

But it was not good to reprimand his father in front of the child, Orochimaru said lightly, "I want to accept Itachi as a disciple, on the one hand, because I fancy his talent, and on the other hand, I ......."

Orochimaru paused in his tone, "The disciple trained by Jiraiya can become the Hokage, if I can't do it, wouldn't it make him better than me." ”

"Hokage?!"

This word made Fu Yue's heart beat hard, and his mood couldn't help but stir.

Yes, although Orochimaru has a bad reputation, he is also a disciple of three generations, the Hokage family.

Fu Yue suppressed his mood and said with a smile, "Lord Orochimaru, when I said that, I was just hesitating whether this child was qualified enough. ”

As he spoke, Fugaku glanced at Itachi.

Seeing this, Itachi could only bow down and say, "I've seen Orochimaru-sensei." ”
