Kawasaki replied, "That's right. I'll arrange for you to infiltrate Konoha and monitor its activities."
"Make Konoha think that the Uchiha have the intention of independence. Once the war starts, you can stab me in the back and create some political achievements."
Orochimaru licked his lips, appearing somewhat excited.
Although he was intelligent, he rarely put effort into these strategies and suffered many losses in the past.
Now that he's experiencing it firsthand, Orochimaru finds it all very novel.
"You can rest assured."
Next, Kawasaki took out a proposal, which Orochimaru glanced at.
"Kawasaki-kun, that's a good idea."
Kawasaki shrugged: "Presenting it to the daimyo of the Land of Fire as soon as possible will be considered an achievement for you."
Afterwards, Kawasaki and Orochimaru briefly discussed the matter before Kawasaki left.
He wanted to check on Minato's condition, but Orochimaru told him that Minato had gone out for a stroll.
With Minato's skills and familiarity with the village, there was naturally no need to worry. 6
Karin and Jugo became obsessed with the Uchiha's food street, often returning home late at night. 4
At this moment, only Kimimaro and Haku were in the room, so Kawasaki turned towards their quarters. 4
"Are you settling in well here?"
Kimimaro and Haku, not expecting Kawasaki to come see them, ran out excitedly. (Mio)
"Kawasaki-sama!"
This time, Bai exercised restraint and did not pounce directly.
Kawasaki didn't pay close attention to Shiro's outfit last time, but this time he noticed that Shiro was still dressed as a woman with long hair, making it difficult to tell whether she was male or female.
Kawasaki doesn't mind at all; what he wears and what hairstyle he has are entirely up to his personal preferences.
Orochimaru didn't care at all; he didn't even care about his own gender, so naturally he wouldn't bother to guide Haku.
Kimimaro was tall and slender. When the two stood together, their skin was as white as snow, and they looked like a pair of golden boys and jade girls.
"Haku, are you and Kimimaro settling in well here?"
Both Haku and Kimimaro nodded in agreement and began talking with Kawasaki.
Kimimaro speaks even less, and is mostly represented by Shiro.
The admiration in their eyes was palpable.
Although Orochimaru taught them for a period of time, in their hearts, someone else had already taken their place, and it was difficult for anyone else to replace him.
Although they were older than Naruto, Kimimaro was imprisoned as a child, while Haku was abandoned and wandered around, making them appear even more immature.
Kawasaki loved both children equally.
Then, Kawasaki asked what the two had learned from Orochimaru during this time.
Kimimaro's strength was limited because he could not use the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse).
However, precisely because of his past self-taught abilities, Orochimaru specially designed a basic training plan for him, aiming to help Kimimaro lay a solid foundation.
When I can use the Corpse Bone Meridian in the future, my strength will surely increase by leaps and bounds.
Haku's path is different; he's more suited to the path of ninjutsu.
Once he recovered, Haku busied himself with accumulating chakra and learning ninjutsu.
"Did Kabuto mention my plan to you guys before?"
Seeing the two nod, Kawasaki continued:
"In a while, you'll be standing in the spotlight alongside Orochimaru. You'll have to give Orochimaru your full support then."
Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Kawasaki."
Kimimaro replied, "I am glad to have met Lord Kawasaki's needs."
Kawasaki looked at the two of them; these two children were prone to extremes in their thinking.
We need to offer more guidance and encouragement.
"You two."
Kawasaki touched one head with each hand.
He said gently, "You and Bai are both people I need."
"But you also need to remember to protect yourself, otherwise how will you help me in the future?"
"Uh-huh!"
Both Haku and Kimimaro nodded obediently.
.
In the territory of the Uchiha clan.
Kawasaki was observing the skills of those promising talents at the training ground.
A clansman came to report: "Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy request an audience with Lady Tsunade."
Now that Tsunade is working for the Uchiha clan, Kakashi naturally has to notify Kawasaki first if he wants to find her.
As for Might Guy, he was probably there to accompany Kakashi.
"Please invite them in. Take them directly to the hospital office; Tsunade is there."
Leave professional matters to professionals. After Tsunade arrived, Kawasaki entrusted her with all the hospital affairs.
Apart from finances, all other decision-making power rests with Tsunade.
After all, Tsunade's luck is such that she can gamble away any amount of money.
After receiving her first month's salary, Tsunade has been living a very comfortable life lately, often spending time in gambling dens.
Of course, she was very popular there.
Fortunately, Tsunade doesn't have much free time right now. Besides teaching students, she also has to have dinner with Naruto every day.
In comparison, she spent much less time gambling; otherwise, her meager salary wouldn't be enough to cover her gambling expenses.
...
Not long after, Kakashi entered, followed by Might Guy, whom Kawasaki hadn't seen for many years.
"Konoha's Azure Beast"
Matt Kay, a nuclear weapon in the social world.
They are the same age, even in the same grade, just not in the same class.
We used to see each other often when we were in school.
However, they haven't actually met many times over the years, and Kakashi's frequent lingering at the memorial stone indicates psychological issues.
Although Might Guy was at the bottom of his class when he was young, his mastery of the Steel Fist Fluid Technique allowed him to progress very quickly once his body matured.
That's exactly what Matt Kay did; his training regimen was astonishingly intense.
Therefore, although he and Kakashi had a good relationship, they weren't inseparable every day.
Might Guy said he had fought Kakashi over a hundred times.
Having faced off a hundred times in ten years, averaging ten times a year and once a month, it's clear that Matt Kai is indeed very busy.
So it's not surprising that Kawasaki hasn't seen Might Guy for so long.
"Kawasaki!"
Mighty waved to Kawasaki from afar, making those who didn't know them think they were close friends.
"I never imagined you'd be the clan leader now! Your youth was truly dazzling!"
As he spoke, he gave Kawasaki a thumbs up, his smile making his teeth seem to gleam.
Kakashi covered his forehead, wondering if it was appropriate to bring Might Guy along, especially since Kawasaki was already the head of the Uchiha clan.
Fortunately, Kawasaki is very approachable and sometimes even a bit quirky.
He flicked his hand and gave a thumbs up in return!
"Youth should bloom like this! Might Guy, it's been so many years, but you're still as passionate as ever."
"Of course! Youth is synonymous with passion!"
Might Guy struck a pose, completely ignoring the gazes of the Uchiha clan members in the training ground.
A typical social nuclear warhead.
After a few exchanges with Kawasaki and Might Guy, he felt he couldn't keep up.
He was joking; it was just something he said casually.
But Matt Kai has always been like this, never caring about what others think.
Kawasaki is, after all, the head of the Uchiha clan. If he were to talk to Might Guy for a few more minutes, his authority would likely be diminished by 1060928735-1060928735%.
Putting aside his playful mood, Kawasaki summoned a member of his tribe and asked him to show Might Guy around.
"Kakashi, go find Tsunade, I'll take you there."
Kawasaki put away his playful expression and spoke to Kakashi in a flat tone, revealing no preference whatsoever.
This made Kakashi very uneasy.
Because Danzo escaped from prison, Kabuto of Otogakure left the Uchiha clan members behind and left.
Although the Third Hokage adjusted the mission allocation, the Uchiha clan members were not grateful and no one was willing to take on the missions.
Many Uchiha clan members were nowhere to be found, staying within the clan's territory every day, causing the Third Hokage great concern that something unexpected might happen.
The title of honorary elder was given to Fugaku Uchiha, but he did not attend either of the two high-level meetings that have been held.
The third generation was worried that Kawasaki had other plans.
Therefore, a large number of ANBU (Anbu) members are on surveillance outside the Uchiha clan's territory every day.
