Remember to tell them not to leak the information about the Azure Dragon Pill, understand!"

"Ah."

Uchiha Izumi nodded quickly, and then listened carefully to the instructions on how to take the Qinglong Dan.

Time passed peacefully day by day. Uchiha Yuan handled official business in the guard team during the day, and appeared in Orochimaru's laboratory at night, or occasionally appeared in the underground base to instruct a group of Uchiha teenagers.

During this period, calls for the election of the fifth Hokage emerged in Konoha Village, and as time went on, this call grew louder and louder.

The entire Konoha Village urgently needs a new Hokage, and among them, Orochimaru has the greatest voice to take over as Hokage.

At the same time, as the call for selecting the fifth generation emerged, Uchiha Yuan began to contact Orochimaru openly, often going in and out of Orochimaru's residence, showing that he was a junior whom Orochimaru appreciated and trusted.

At night, the sky is full of bright stars and a full moon hangs high in the sky.

Uchiha Yuan sat cross-legged beside Yuan, gazing at the night sky with a dim gaze.

In recent times, the guard team has been provoked many times, especially in the area under the charge of the third team led by him. There have been people causing trouble for several consecutive days, using rude words to express their dissatisfaction with the Uchiha guard team.

"Are you trying to tell me I shouldn't stand with Orochimaru-senpai?"

Uchiha Yuan pondered secretly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard. It was a security guard.

"Master Yuan, please go to Nanhe Shrine immediately to attend the clan meeting."

Some people died, but not completely...

Chapter 170 I Choose to Support Orochimaru

Nanga River is a large river that runs through the entire Konoha Village. The basin of this river was once where the Uchiha clan lived.

The Uchiha clan's ancestral temple, Nanga Shrine, is located in the lower reaches of the Nanga River.

When Uchiha Yuan arrived at Nanga Shrine, he noticed several eyes in the dark falling on him.

Then a security guard appeared at the gate of the shrine and said respectfully to Uchiha Yuan: "Master Yuan, please come this way."

Uchiha Yuan nodded in response, but just as he was about to enter the Nanga Shrine, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked in a distant direction, and then his gaze lingered on another location for a few seconds.

A sneer appeared on Uchiha Yuan's lips, and then he stepped into the Nanga Shrine.

At the same time, somewhere around Nanga Shrine, three Anbu wearing animal-faced masks were squatting on the branches of a big tree, secretly observing everything in Nanga Shrine.

On a big tree in another direction, there were also several masked Root ninjas monitoring the Nanga Shrine.

These two directions were exactly where Uchiha Yuan had noticed before.

The Nanga Shrine was quiet and empty, but Uchiha Yuan could feel many obscure auras looming around him. If it weren't for Uchiha Yuan's strong and sharp perception, it would be difficult for others to detect it.

The owners of these auras are the Uchiha clan members who are responsible for guarding the Nanga Shrine.

Led by the guards, Uchiha Yuan came to the main hall of the shrine; then the guards who led the way lifted the seventh tatami mat on the innermost right side of the main hall, revealing a downward entrance.

"Lord Yuan, please enter this way."

Uchiha Yuan's figure flashed, and he passed through the entrance and arrived at the bottom of the main hall of the shrine.

An underground hall appeared in front of Uchiha Yuan. At this moment, the hall was filled with dozens of members of the Uchiha clan.

In the bustling hall, the Uchiha were discussing something, and there was a lot of noise.

Uchiha Yuan took a quick look and noticed that all the Uchiha clan members who appeared here were the main members of the family, and each of them had a status worthy of attention in the family.

He also saw several familiar faces among them, such as Uchiha Eiji, who was sitting quietly behind his father and brother.

He also saw Shisui talking to Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting at the head of the hall.

Behind Uchiha Fugaku sat Uchiha Itachi, who was observing everyone with a scrutinizing look, and then met Uchiha Yuan's gaze.

"Team leader, sit here."

Hearing a call, Uchiha Yuan withdrew his gaze from Itachi, and then saw Uchiha Tonghu waving at him in the crowd, and next to him were the other two team leaders of the third team sitting cross-legged.

Uchiha Yuan sat down next to Uchiha Tonghu. He noticed that several eyes around him lingered on him for a while.

He looked up and noticed that Fugaku and Shisui were both looking at him; then he turned in another direction and saw Uchiha Eiji looking at him in surprise.

Seeing that Uchiha Yuan saw him, Uchiha Eiji stood up after hesitating for a moment and then sat down in front of Uchiha Yuan.

"Yuan, I didn't expect you to attend the clan meeting. That's right, with your current reputation and strength, you are fully qualified to attend the clan meeting."

Uchiha Eiji said with a complicated expression, "Unlike me, I can only come here to listen in on the occasion as a father and brother, and I have no right to express my opinion at all."

At this time, Uchiha Yuan had noticed that the topic being discussed by the clan members around him was the election for the Fifth Hokage. He immediately realized that the purpose of convening this clan meeting was probably that Fugaku wanted to run for the Fifth Hokage.

Glancing up and down at Uchiha Eiji, Uchiha Yuan said, "Eiji, long time no see. You've become much stronger."

Uchiha Eiji said, "I have been receiving training from my family. I wanted to challenge you to another duel after I heard you returned to the village, and then I heard you fought eight squad leaders alone.

Yuan, you really are a monster."

Uchiha Yuan laughed, "Eiji, thank you for the compliment."

Uchiha Eiji's expression suddenly changed as he looked at Uchiha Yuan seriously and said, "Yuan, I hope to continue competing with you in the future. I know I am not your opponent, but only by fighting with you can I discover my own shortcomings.

But I'm afraid I can't give you any ninjutsu scrolls as a reward. The remaining ninjutsu scrolls at home are all family secrets that cannot be passed on without my father's consent."

Uchiha Yuan said nonchalantly, "Eiji, feel free to come to me. I don't need any ninjutsu scrolls anymore. Senior Orochimaru has many more advanced ninjutsu manuals."

Next, Uchiha Eiji asked Uchiha Yuan some questions about cultivation.

"Everyone be quiet."

A moment later, a voice interrupted their conversation, and the underground hall fell silent in an instant, with everyone's eyes looking at Uchiha Fugaku who was sitting at the first seat.

Uchiha Fugaku exchanged a glance with the several family elders sitting on either side, then looked at the crowd and said, "I think everyone knows that there has been news about the election of the Fifth Hokage in the village recently. What do you think about this?"

"Haha, need I say more? This is a chance for the family. Who in the village is stronger than our Uchiha clan? This time, the position of Hokage belongs to us Uchiha."

An Uchiha immediately spoke up.

"That's right, the position of Hokage must belong to us Uchiha."

"Chief, we

I will support you in the election."

"Humph, if the clan leader runs for Hokage, I wonder who in the village dares to object."

Hearing the crowd's shouts, Uchiha Fugaku smiled slightly and said, "I do want to run for the Fifth Hokage. After decades, the position of Hokage should fall to our Uchiha clan."

Listening to his tribesmen's words, Shisui frowned.

As a double agent for the village and the clan, Shisui is well aware of the attitudes of Sarutobi Hiruzen and other high-ranking officials towards the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, when he heard that Fugaku was planning to run for the Fifth Hokage, he immediately felt that something was wrong; not to mention the attitude of the Third Hokage, the other three advisory elders were absolutely and firmly opposed to it, and he was very clear about this.

"Chief, I object."

As Shisui spoke, the originally excited crowd instantly quieted down, and pairs of sharp eyes fell on Shisui.

Someone immediately asked, "Shisui, do you think the clan leader is not qualified to take over the position of Hokage?"

Fugaku dropped his smile and asked, "Shisui, why do you object?"

Shisui said, "Chief, I don't think you are unqualified to be Hokage; I object only because I know the village will never be willing to let the position of Hokage fall to our Uchiha clan.

For example, Elder Danzo, who is in charge of the Root, has the most hardline attitude and will definitely prevent you from running for the position of clan leader."

Some people died, but not completely...

Chapter 171 Kakashi, Let’s Have a Competition

Chapter 171

Hearing Shisui's words, Uchiha Fugaku looked thoughtful.

The Uchiha present were naturally familiar with Danzo; all the suppression of the Uchiha in the village was initiated by him.

Therefore, when Danzo was mentioned, the Uchiha present soon became angry and scolded him, and gradually the target of the scolding shifted from Danzo to the second generation Senju Tobirama.

Uchiha Yuan sat in the crowd, looking at Shisui with an inexplicable expression on his face.

From Shisui's words, we can find that between his two identities as a member of the Uchiha clan and an ANBU of the Hokage of Konoha Village, he is more inclined towards the identity of an ANBU of the Hokage.

Therefore, when there is a conflict between his family and the village, the first thought that often comes to his mind is to ask his family to retreat and compromise.

In his mind, he has immense trust in the village leaders like the third generation, and has the mentality of subordinates obeying their superiors completely.

Perhaps this is why he gave his other eye to Itachi after Danzo took his eye away, and chose to commit suicide.

Because he may be completely unable to muster the desire to rebel against the three generations of them.

"That old scoundrel Danzo has completely inherited Senju Tobirama's hostility towards our Uchiha clan. Are we Uchiha going to give up the election for Hokage just because of his hostility?"

"Impossible! We won't be scared by that old thief Danzo!"

"No one can stop us Uchiha from becoming Hokage!"

After the Uchiha clan cursed Danzo and Senju Tobirama, some of them spoke up one after another.

Hearing this, Shisui frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Given Danzo's tough stance against the Uchiha clan, he was worried that this time the clan might come into violent conflict with the village.

He secretly made a glance with Itachi behind Fugaku, indicating that he would find a way to suppress the fanatical mentality of his tribesmen.
