Chapter 68: Discussion and Invitation

Listening to the words of that Uchiha Elder, Uchiha Fugaku's face was filled with a serious expression as he nodded gently:

"Rest assured, Elder, I will get all of this done."

Uchiha Yetu glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, still feeling a bit of doubt in his heart; as an Elder, he understood this clan head of his own clan quite well.

How should he put it? It was a waste of that face that looked so serious and earnest! This clan head's personality was not only the complete opposite of his appearance, but it also shared no similarities with the Uchiha Clan.

To put it nicely, it was called being prudent; to put it bluntly, it was called being indecisive, and his greatest skill was muddling through things!

Unfortunately... for the Uchiha Clan to want to choose a slightly wiser clan head, that was truly too difficult. Uchiha with normal brains basically had no talent for the Sharingan, and those Uchiha with outstanding talent for the Sharingan were either brain-damaged or lunatics!

Well, one could only say that among Uchiha with the same talent, Uchiha Fugaku could already be considered a normal person.

Even he, this Uchiha Elder, had only gradually become peaceful and rational after he grew old and lost an eye.

"Remember, take the Scrolls regarding the Sharingan of our Uchiha Clan, and when the time comes, present them directly to Uchiha Feiyu. We Uchiha haven't had much contact with him in the past, and haven't even really taught him any ninja techniques; this time, these things will serve as an apology."

"It would be best to find a girl of suitable age and appearance to pay him a visit. Regardless of anything else, for the sake of the next generation, intermarriage within the Uchiha Clan is a very good choice for this brat."

"It's a pity that there aren't many Uchiha female ninja of the right age. Sigh! I didn't expect this brat's strength to improve to this extent back then."

When he said this, Uchiha Yetu's mouth also twitched. After Uchiha Feiyu became famous, he, as an Uchiha Elder, naturally flipped through the Information Scroll regarding Uchiha Feiyu, and he could be considered to have a deep impression of this "fearful of death" Uchiha.

Usually, a ninja with this kind of personality is an old veteran in their thirties or forties with average strength. For a teenager like Uchiha Feiyu to have a personality that had already rotted to this extent was rare beyond compare, yet his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds while his personality was rotting...

Either this brat's personality was all an act, or he simply suffered from the Uchiha Clan's mental illness, and the rotting was just a form of expression.

Or else this brat's talent was high to a frightening degree; even without any so-called heart of a powerhouse, his strength still progressed to the Shadow-level.

Hearing that his own Elder was even going to use a honey trap, Uchiha Fugaku also twitched his mouth and said in a low voice:

"Elder, Uchiha Feiyu has only just turned 15!"

"What about 15? Back in the Sengoku era, 15-year-old Uchiha already had children running all over the place!"

"Uh..."

Leaving aside the Uchiha Clan who were preparing to send gifts, the current Uchiha Feiyu had encountered his cheap teacher, Orochimaru.

At the famous Konoha restaurant, Yakiniku Q, Orochimaru and Uchiha Feiyu were having a relaxed meal together.

"Teacher, are you going to join the Anbu?"

Swallowing a piece of grilled meat, Uchiha Feiyu asked with some curiosity.

"To be precise, it is a special department within the Anbu—Root, which is also the training department of the Anbu, at least on the surface."

"It's like that on the surface, but what about in reality?"

"In reality, well, in reality, Root can be called the Anbu within the Anbu; it can be said to be the darkest place in Konoha, but precisely because of that, the constraints there are also the fewest."

Uchiha Feiyu nodded in realization:

"So that's how it is. Is it for your Human Experiment, Teacher? After all, only that kind of place can provide a large number of experimental subjects."

When Orochimaru was conducting Human Experiment on the front lines, he didn't really hide it from him, and sometimes he would even specifically have Uchiha Feiyu bring back the corpses of enemy Jonin for him.

And Uchiha Feiyu had never let Orochimaru down. Apart from caring about his own life, this guy had no empathy for other ninja; he was truly a person who killed without blinking, and he felt no burden in his heart.

Regardless of whether the other party was male or female, handsome or ugly, old or a child, as long as they were an enemy and a ninja, Uchiha Feiyu would bring them back.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would not have taken Uchiha Feiyu as a disciple. Even if there was a thought of wanting to use Uchiha Feiyu's merits to add to his own reputation, he certainly would not take in a ninja with an overly upright personality to cause himself trouble.

"Yes, in the absence of war, it is truly too difficult to obtain living ninja. Only a place like Root is more suitable for me."

Orochimaru said indifferently, then looked at Uchiha Feiyu:

"How about it? Feiyu, do you want to come to Root and help me?"

Uchiha Feiyu frowned slightly, then said:

"Will joining this department impose any restrictions on me? And will there be any overly dangerous missions forcibly assigned?"

"Tsk... as expected, no matter how strong your strength is, your personality, brat, is still the same as before!"

Orochimaru said with a sigh, but he didn't have the slightest intention of looking down on Uchiha Feiyu. After all, he himself was a ninja famous for his 'cowardly' way of survival, so when it came to being afraid of death, it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

"Rest assured, ordinary Root ninja naturally have to be controlled by that Root leader, but with your strength, there will naturally be special treatment, not to mention that you are a subordinate I am bringing along."

Orochimaru being arranged by his teacher to go to Root was not to be a subordinate of that 'Pot King', and to a certain extent, Orochimaru could even be said to have been sent over to monitor the 'Pot King', so naturally, he could not be hit with the Tongue Sucking Seal.

And Uchiha Feiyu, as Orochimaru's disciple, would naturally not be controlled by any Sealing Technique after joining Root. With Orochimaru's status, it was easy to protect his own disciple, not to mention that Uchiha Feiyu's own strength was the best guarantee.

"As for the danger... you are my subordinate. If Danzō really gives you any orders that cannot be completed, you have absolutely no need to execute them. When the time comes, I will be the one to talk to him!"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and said with an indifferent expression.

In fact, Orochimaru even felt that even if he didn't say it like that, that guy Danzō definitely wouldn't be able to do anything to Uchiha Feiyu.

Ordinary ninja might be manipulated by Danzō, but with this guy Uchiha Feiyu's personality and strength, if Danzō really dared to make him sacrifice himself, Uchiha Feiyu would definitely make Danzō die first.

"Besides, there are quite a few benefits to joining Root, such as many Forbidden Technique that you can study at will, and most ninja regulations do not need to be followed."

"How about it? Come and help me!"
