Chapter 289: Being outdone!
"Why do you say that."
Orochimaru asked as he looked down at the information on Kizuna Castle.
Shikaku pinched his chin, organizing his thoughts.
Although as the Hokage's assistant, he did not have the power to command the Anbu during normal times, he still had the power to receive Anbu intelligence on behalf of the Hokage.
The Anbu Operations Department has a special team responsible for keeping an eye on Hiruko's movements, so Shikaku knows exactly where Hiruko went and what he did.
"Hirohu first started challenging clan leaders and masters from Uchiha Fugaku, but the first time he visited the Uchiha clan, he didn't go there with the intention of challenging them."
Shikaku spoke slowly.
"Furthermore, after arriving at the Uchiha clan, Hiruko and Fugaku had a detailed discussion for a while before going to the training grounds for sparring. As for what they discussed... there was no reason for the Anbu to enter the Uchiha clan leader's home to listen or inquire."
"So there's reason to suspect that Hiruko's challenge was the result of a discussion with Fugaku, and the fact that he and Fugaku pretended to play halfway and then left also confirms this."
If Gu Zang was here, he would definitely chuckle.
Because Lu Jiu was too smart, so smart that he could guess everything that Gu Zang wanted people to guess clearly.
But there was one thing that Lu Jiu could not have expected.
That is, Hiruko really intended to start from Fugaku, but Fugaku himself did not know that there was a special thing here.
"Your Excellency, I definitely don't intend to avoid a fight with Hiruko, but if Hiruko and the Uchiha clan are planning something, then this disruptive challenge should be stopped immediately."
As Lu Jiu was talking, he got himself involved.
But Orochimaru still looked at the information about Kizuna Castle quietly.
Only after Shikaku finished speaking did Orochimaru slowly close the information page and tilt his head slightly.
"If Hiruko is cooperating with the Uchiha clan, then, with your wisdom, Shikaku, what do you think they are cooperating on?"
"this......"
Shikaku had his first guess.
But people's words are scary, and he definitely doesn't want to say these words if he can avoid it.
"Rebellion, huh?"
"Um......"
Orochimaru gave the answer, and in fact, this answer has been recognized. As long as there is a problem with the Uchiha clan, it must be related to the traitors.
"What's the outcome? If the goal is rebellion, then what is the outcome that both parties are pursuing?"
In response to Orochimaru's question, Shikaku did not respond.
This is also what he can't understand - not to mention the Uchiha clan for now, what can Hokuro get from the Uchiha clan?
"With Beiliuhu's strength, he can come and go as he pleases, and few people can stop him. If he has a purpose, it must be to save Chuan Zang, hehe..."
Having said that, Orochimaru suddenly laughed sinisterly.
"Shikaku, is this the Uchiha way to rescue Kawanzo?"
Shikaku shook his head decisively.
Kawatsugu possesses Wood Release, is extremely talented, and his background is far more than just that of an orphan.
In addition to Hiruko and Tsunade, Mr. Kozo is also standing behind Kawazo!
Therefore, if there is a way to save Kawanzo and gain a favor from Kawanzo, the Uchiha clan will definitely spare no effort and will not even discuss it.
But apart from this, is there anything else that the Uchiha can use to control Hiruho?
Lu Jiu frowned, he felt that his thoughts had gone astray, or that he was being guided in the wrong direction.
"Shikaku, I chose you as the Hokage's assistant because you have an outstanding IQ. You are very smart, but smart people are often misled by their own intelligence. Many times, other people are not as smart as you, and the things you consider will exceed their calculations and expectations, so that you go too far."
Orochimaru gave this reminder and said no more.
He felt that someone like Lu Jiu would be able to figure things out on his own if he just gave him a reminder.
As expected, Lu Jiu suddenly understood.
"I understand, Yondaime-sama. This means there is absolutely no possibility for Hiruko to cooperate with the Uchiha! Hiruko seems to have discussed it with Fugaku, but the content is most likely one-sided!"
"Not necessarily."
Orochimaru's three words almost drove Shikaku crazy.
After all, he is still young, and Shikaku is a little impatient to know what Orochimaru will do next.
But Orochimaru was once again immersed in the information about Kizuna Castle and ignored him!
After a long time, until Shikaku's thoughts slowed down, Orochimaru spoke again.
"Whether they cooperate or not, Hiruhu will never choose to overthrow Konoha. So, Shikaku, do you think it matters whether Hiruhu and the Uchiha cooperate or not?"
"Hu...it doesn't matter. As long as your promise remains, as long as Chuan Zang doesn't wake up, Bi Liu will not be manipulated by others."
Lu Jiu finally understood the whole story.
"He would just wander around Konoha like a madman, searching for a sense of existence as a normal ninja. He would ignore any olive branches because they were useless."
"That's right, that's why I agreed to send Shisui to Hiruko."
Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth.
"Just because Hiruhu ignored them doesn't mean those olive branches don't exist. The stronger and more outspoken he is, the more attention he will attract. Uchiha Fugaku might not be without his own thoughts. Even Uchiha Shisui has his own ideas."
"Then let's..."
"Just wait and see what happens."
Orochimaru looked at his fair palms and slowly clenched them into fists.
"Now, the big ship of Konoha is not something that anyone can drill a hole in just because they want to, hehehehe..."
......
"Mr. Biruhu, please stop and rest for a night. Traveling late at night is a taboo for ninjas. It is easy to be ambushed."
Shisui followed Hiruko through the jungle. At this time, the two had left the area of Konoha Village and headed towards the border of the Land of Fire.
"Don't you have the Sharingan? If you have the Sharingan, why are you afraid of an ambush?"
"this......"
Shisui was speechless.
The Sharingan is a skill! It's not a status! Have you ever seen an Uchiha whose Sharingan is always open? If he is, he will be blind at a young age!
Besides, the Sharingan is not the Byakugan, it doesn’t have such strong detection capabilities, okay!
The rageful roar in his heart became quite tactful when it came out of his mouth: "My chakra is a little low, and I can't support the Sharingan for a whole night, Mr. Biruhu, otherwise..."
"Alright, alright, stop rambling. Just take a break. Look, you're still a ninja who earned your title on the battlefield. You're nowhere near that Kakashi~"
I will endure! ! !
Shisui took two deep breaths.
He was actually compared to that guy Kakashi!
Being of similar age and both being good friends of Kawami, there is an inexplicable hostility between Shisui and Kakashi. Being compared to each other and being surpassed is really... infuriating!
"Oh? What's that expression on your face, Uchiha Shisui?"
"Uh, ha~ Mr. Biluhu, I'm going to go hunt a wild boar and prepare dinner—"
Swah——
