Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

"Wait a minute Sarutobi, no matter what, 500 million ryo for the Kusanagi sword is too much. Are we going to give such a huge expense to this Genin?"

Genin? The Senbon mentioned by Shiranui Genma fell to the ground without realizing it. Behind him, Bizuku Leidun and Die Iwashi even wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

When can Genin perform S-level missions? And the mission was completed. The three of them went through a lot of hardships and tried their best to complete the A-level mission of battlefield support. What is the origin of this Uchiha clan kid?

"What do you mean? This is my reward for my mission. Whether I use the money to build a garden or take a hot spring bath is none of your business, damn old woman!"

"You damned Uchiha brat, how dare you openly insult the Hokage advisor, you..."

The situation in the mission release hall was tense. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table angrily and glared at everyone.

"Shut up, Xiaochun, what nonsense are you saying in front of the juniors? Our compatriots in Konoha are fighting on the front lines, how can you deduct the mission rewards just because the reward amount is so huge!"

"Uchiha Kagetsu, this is your reward. As for the Kusanagi sword and the materials for making it, let Orochimaru be in charge."

"Compared to this, are you interested in leading the Chunin team to continue the mission, or are you planning on joining the Anbu?"

With a kind and gentle smile, the Third Hokage in front of him seemed to be just an ordinary kind old man, chatting about family matters with the people in front of him.

"I refuse. Orochimaru-sensei wants to train me for a while. I don't have time to do the mission. I'm leaving now."

Huayue snatched the Konoha check that started with 5 and had several zeros at the end, and left quickly, not giving the Third Hokage and the two Hokage advisors any time to react, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Ahem, well, you guys go down too. Keep working hard and aim to grow into towering trees. One day you will become the pillars of Konoha."

At this time, Genma Shiranui raised his right hand, unable to resist his curiosity, and asked.

"Who is that Uchiha child?"

"Humph, he's just a kid who got lucky enough to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. He doesn't know how to respect his elders. He's arrogant because of his talent. He's just like Orochimaru!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, feeling extremely dissatisfied. Even though he couldn't see what Orochimaru was thinking now, he was still his most proud disciple after all.

"Alright, alright. He is this year's ninja school graduate and a rare genius. He has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique at such a young age. This is not a result of hard work that can be smoothed out by mere luck."

"The battle of Mount Kikyo is over and the village has returned to safety, but the Third Ninja World War is not over yet. It is not the time to let down our guard."

The three of them looked at each other, thinking of Uchiha Huayue's ninjutsu that instantly disappeared just now, and they all saw each other's seriousness.

After the three people left, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, but his eyes looked at the old friend who pushed the door and walked in, and his voice was low.

"Danzo, was it your suggestion to let Orochimaru accept Uchiha Kagetsu as his apprentice?"

"Is there anything wrong with that? Orochimaru is not the most talented of your many disciples. Let Uchiha Kagetsu accept his teachings. He should be closer to your side and the Will of Fire, Hiruzen."

"The battle report has been sent back from the front line. Orochimaru has also made some preparations in advance. Do you want to see how Chiyo, the Kazekage advisor, who is known as the puppet master left behind, was defeated by a Genin?"

Danzo waved his hand and two Anbu pushed the TV in. After a burst of snow, only the picture and the sound were visible on the TV, showing the battle scene without reservation.

After a brief silence, even Utane Koharu, who had a lot of dissatisfaction with Uchiha Kagetsu, remained silent.

"The puppet master Monzaemon's most powerful masterpiece, the puppet old woman's trump card, was restrained by the summoned beast in an instant. Can the death god summoned beast seize the chakra?"

"Excellent Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, well-timed teleportation and good grasp of the situation. He is indeed a genius, but why is he Uchiha?"

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En gave their own comments, and Danzo even smiled, which was rare.

"Because he is a genius of the Uchiha clan, if he betrays Konoha, Orochimaru will eliminate him without hesitation. Are you dissatisfied with this result?"

Danzo's smile made Sarutobi Hiruzen silent for a moment. The pipe in his mouth lit up, and wisps of smoke lingered, eventually turning into invisible smoke.

"However, when Konoha Village is in danger, Uchiha Kagetsu, as a ninja of the village, must help as much as possible. This is an unshakable bottom line."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen give in, Danzo smiled and turned away.

As the figure walked further and further away, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed a hint of worry.

'Orochimaru, have you chosen to join forces with Danzo?'

Late at night, at the headquarters of the Root, where the Konoha Anbu trains its troops.

Danzo was leaning on a cane, his face expressionless, his steady footsteps echoing in the corridor, his half-smile implying joy.

"It seems that the negotiation conditions have been completed. Uchiha Kagetsu will be taught by me. In addition to his personality, the child's inherent talents may be beyond imagination."

"It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't come into contact with the corrupt Third Hokage. Now is a time of war, and after the war is over, he should abdicate and become the Fourth Hokage. Are you ready?"

Not far away, two Root members were moving a body bag in front of Orochimaru, with drops of blood dripping out, making Orochimaru look dissatisfied.

"When did Gen make such a low-level mistake? He didn't even clean up the blood. Or..."

"This guy's bloodline limit is somewhat special. If his blood is completely drained, the ability of the bloodline limit will disappear, and the rest will have nothing to do with the root."

The giant python swallowed the body into its body. Orochimaru turned and left, and was about to disappear when he was suddenly stopped by Danzo.

"Wait, Orochimaru, don't forget your mission, confirm whether Uchiha Kagetsu has opened the Sharingan."

"Has he opened his Sharingan? I can give you the answer right now. There is no doubt that he has opened his Sharingan. Even I will fall into that kid's illusion if I am not careful."

"Do you think his eye can replace the treasure in your right eye?"

His expression was gloomy, and his already dark old face became even more ferocious, and Danzo snorted coldly.

"Don't forget, the First Hokage's cell research authority is still in my hands."

"I really want the Wood Release Ninjutsu of the First Hokage, the power to control the Tailed Beasts, but unfortunately my current goal is not there."

"My current goal is to be that lovely disciple who always surprises me, hehe..."
