Is Danzo being restless lately?
The Third Hokage frowned and said in a deep voice, "What do you know? Explain it clearly."
"It's hard to say for sure. It's just rumors. I got some information from a special source."
Orochimaru smiled mysteriously and simply disappeared from the Hokage's office door, leaving the Third Hokage smoking his pipe and deep in thought.
He wasn't sure if Orochimaru was deliberately trying to make Danzo look bad, or if it was really something.
After thinking for a long time, the Third Hokage called his deputy and ordered, "Recently, send more people to keep an eye on the remnants of Root."
"Yes!" The Hokage's deputy bowed slightly and disappeared from the spot.
"Sigh..." The Third Hokage looked worried and exhaled a long puff of smoke. "Internal and external troubles..."
Based on his understanding of Danzo, Orochimaru was probably telling the truth. Danzo would never give up his long-held beliefs. The appearance of a Kirigakure bloodline ninja in the Land of Iron and the recent movements of Kusagakure also made the Third Hokage feel uneasy.
But just him being aware of the threat didn't help much. He needed to make the village ninjas feel a sense of crisis.
"..."
Browsing the information on the desk, the Third Hokage's eyes gradually sharpened.
...
After leaving the Hokage's office, Orochimaru strode towards the Uzumaki house, his target naturally not Minato's son, but the guard responsible for watching him.
In a small alley, Yamato bowed slightly, "Orochimaru-sama..."
Orochimaru got straight to the point and asked directly, "How is Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan recovering his eyesight?"
Yamato thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "He can see normally now, but I'm not sure about the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Oh, so you've already tried the power of the Sharingan?"
Orochimaru smiled and said with a playful tone, "How does it feel? Can you use it freely?"
Under the gaze of a pair of snake eyes, Yamato nodded silently.
Although it sounds strange, Shisui's Sharingan is really easy to use, much better than the original.
With colored contacts to hide it, he secretly used it during his match with Guy, and he was actually able to keep up with his movements. He didn't have to just defend, and sometimes he could even land a few hits on Guy. It was really amazing.
Eye techniques and bloodlines are like cheat codes.
He knew Orochimaru-sama's intentions very well. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to lose this Sharingan.
"Very good, then I hope you like the gift I'm giving you."
Orochimaru flipped his hand and took out a small culture jar from a scroll, with eyeballs floating up and down inside.
"This is..." Yamato's eyes widened slightly, guessing what the eyeball was. Before he could say anything, Orochimaru removed his eyes and replaced them with Shisui's discarded pair of Sharingan.
The original eyes and Shisui's Mangekyo were preserved separately and put back into the scroll.
After Yamato adjusted for a moment, Orochimaru urged, "Try it out. How is the effect?"
Yamato nodded slightly, his eyes focused. The black faded, and his irises were dyed blood red. Three black tomoe slowly rotated, ominous to look at.
Being able to turn the Sharingan on and off freely was already better than Kakashi.
Orochimaru examined it for a moment and instructed, "With me here, the Uchiha Clan will turn a blind eye to this matter, but it's best not to use it openly. This is for your own safety."
The Uchiha Clan's eye technique bloodline is famous in the ninja world. The reason why no one bothers them is because they know it can't be used, but if there's an exception, ambitious people will definitely try to find out the secret.
"Yes."
Yamato bowed slightly, put on the colored contacts, and returned to having black eyes.
"You have First Hokage cells, which is a natural advantage. Maybe one day you can awaken your own Mangekyo Sharingan."
Randomly dishing out some encouragement, Orochimaru sent the excited Yamato away and flew to a secret training ground near the Uchiha district.
Shisui, who had been waiting there, bowed slightly and gave a salute.
Orochimaru didn't say much and directly took out the small nutrient jar from the scroll and performed an eye transplant operation for Shisui.
"How do you feel now?"
Putting Yamato's replaced eyes into the scroll, Orochimaru smiled and said, "I promised you a reward before, and now I've completed it as agreed."
"This... thank you very much, Orochimaru-sama."
Shisui was also a little excited. When he was almost blind during the battle of Kumogakure, he really thought his Mangekyo Sharingan would be wasted.
And even if Orochimaru had this ability, what reason would he have to help him recover? Just as a reward for that victory?
Shisui didn't really believe it.
But at the moment, he couldn't help but believe it. Orochimaru-sama really did it and returned his eyes to him.
"No need to thank me..." Orochimaru licked his lips. "There's one thing I want you to help me with."
"Orochimaru-sama, just say the word."
Feeling obligated to repay the kindness, Shisui raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he had a feeling that this was how it would be, which was more in line with Orochimaru's character.
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Susanoo... I want to study the ultimate power of this Mangekyo Sharingan."
Shisui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. "...That's fine."
As long as he wasn't forced to abuse the power of 'Kotoamatsukami', Shisui didn't mind other things.
His eyes focused, and the three tomoe in his Sharingan instantly intertwined, turning into a four-bladed shuriken-like Mangekyo.
Shisui's eyes flashed with red light. "Orochimaru-sama, I'm ready. We can start at any time."
"Here? Aren't you worried about revealing the news of your Mangekyo recovery?"
Orochimaru was a little surprised. He had originally planned to do it in the forest outside Konoha.
"I used Susanoo during the previous mission. The Third Hokage knows about it."
Shisui explained, "And this location, apart from the Third Hokage and the Barrier Team, the clan members usually don't come here. It doesn't matter."
Besides, even if they knew, so what? The relationship with the Uchiha was completely different from what it was during the Nine Tails incident. At most, it would make the clan members even more proud and wouldn't cause too much conflict.
Orochimaru nodded slightly. "If that's the case, then let's begin."
"Yes!"
With a low shout, a strong Chakra reaction burst out from Shisui's body. A completely emerald green Susanoo was immediately manifested from within him, its aura extraordinary.
Orochimaru couldn't help but retreat more than ten meters, looking up and down at this green half-body skeleton, and said in a low voice,
"Tsk... what exactly is this thing? Manifested spiritual power? Special Chakra? Or the spirit itself?"
"Who knows, but I guess it's related to spiritual power."
The Genie floated in the air and shrugged his shoulders.
"You know, even the Otsutsuki clan far away in space can't use Susanoo."
