Chapter 149: Глава 82 - Доставучий
From that very conversation and Madara's decision to go for the Hokage title to the end, a month has passed.
Most of the people were still shocked that Madara Uchiha himself appeared in Konoha, alive, young and healthy, and also expressed a desire to become a Hokage.
The clan heads were especially shocked when Tetsuya and Hiruzen introduced him at a meeting a month ago.
But to get a better picture, it's worth remembering how that meeting went.
a month ago.
Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at his desk and smoking a pipe, examining documents Hmm, the police did well this month.
Thank you, Hokage. Fugaku, the head of Konoha's military police force, said with some pride
By the way, Hokage, did your son, Asuma, by any chance turn a year old yesterday? said a large man, by the shape of whose body you can immediately understand that he is from the Akimichi clan.
Oh~ oh, yes. Hiruzen was distracted from the documents and smiled
Why didn't you tell us then?! At least we baked a cake as a gift.
Oh, no need. As for the celebration, we did it in a narrow family circle.
The other clan heads mentally made a note to send congratulatory gifts for Sarutobi's son.
The leaders of the major clans stood in a semicircle around the table. Some were talking, others were silently waiting for the end of the meeting.
Suddenly Hyuga Hiashi, who had been standing with his eyes closed before, said with interest Hmm, the head of Senju also decided to attend the meeting today.
Everyone in the room was surprised, except Hokage. Tetsuya rarely attended such meetings, as he did not see the point in it. Clan leaders attended these gatherings in order not to give the other clans the slightest advantage, and also to snatch some pieces of influence in the village. The person aiming for the place of the emperor did not see any sense in such meetings and went to them only when he just wanted to.
"Just... just who is accompanying him?" The head of Hyuga frowned
Sarutobi mentally sighed as he knew what was about to begin
The door to the office opened Greetings to everyone! Tetsuya said with a smile as he strode into the office.
The clan heads nodded affably in response and focused their gazes on the man who accompanied Uzumaki. Usually outsiders are not allowed to attend meetings, but there have always been exceptions. Everyone was wondering who the Shinobi God could consider an exception.
Following Tetsuya was a thirty-year-old man with a magnificent head of hair and mystical purple eyes.
No one recognized Madara, which is no wonder, even Hiruzen did not find this Uchiha.
More precisely, no one recognized Madara, except for the current head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha. Madara's actions were a heavy disgrace on their name, and therefore all the highest representatives of the clan had to know everything about Madara Uchiha, including his appearance.
Involuntarily, the mangekyo sharingan pattern spun in Fugaku's eyes You ~ s ... he drawled with hatred and surprise
Everyone looked at each other in shock from Fugaku's reaction. Still, quite a few things can cause such emotions in a person who suppresses them in every possible way.
So much hate. Madara smiled slightly, looking into Fugaku's eyes
Madara Uchiha. Fugaku spat out these words, as if disgusted only by their sound
Madara Uchiha?
"The one?"
The traitor
Those present were shocked by the personality that Tetsuya brought.
Everyone was talking weakly, sharing their thoughts and emotions.
And at the same time, no one was going to attack him, because the Shinobi God was nearby, which means everything is under control.
Well, no one except Fugaku, who was now like a fighting dog that had an extremely burning desire to cling to the throat of the enemy.
Gathering his emotions, Fugaku exhaled and inhaled Tetsuya What's he doing here? Or rather, why is he still alive? Why is he so young?
Tetsuya tilted his head inquiringly to the side Well, I rejuvenated him
Why!?
What for? So that he would not die of old age. Uzumaki said and looked at Fugaku with a look: "Why are you asking such obvious things?"
The head of the Uchiha seemed to be able to explode from his overflowing emotions
As for why I brought him Well, I wanted to introduce you to my candidate for the post of Hokage.
Silence Silence after the dropped bomb
The heads looked from Tetsuya to Madara with shocked faces. Even Hyuga couldn't resist pinching himself to check if it was a dream.
Suddenly, a loud "KAI!" was heard in the silence.
Everyone turned around and saw how the shocked Fugaku folded the seal and tried to remove the genjutsuKAI!
Tetsuya shook his head, "This is not an illusion, Fugaku. I'm serious.
It was impossible to look at him now without pity.
Wide-open and shocked eyes, in which the mangekye sharingan pattern danced. The hands that formed the seal trembled, and the fingers turned white from the tension and the force with which they were squeezed.
In addition, the other clan heads were already ready to "express" their honest opinion about candidate Tetsui, but he was faster.
Of course I have a reason to bring him to Konoha and even recommend him for the post of Kage. he said, sitting down on a chair in the center of the room - Let me ask you, what have you heard about Ootsutsuki?
On that day, Tetsuya partially initiated the leaders into his plan.
He told them about the Ootsutsuki who would come to this world for the chakra and about his knowledge of the future. He told why Madara betrayed Konoha and why he decided to come back.
He did not talk about the unification of the Shinobi world, because he believed that it was too early to mention it, although he did not have to doubt the leaders of the clans, but it was better not to risk it.
With Tetsui's persuasions, Madaru was creakingly accepted back to Konoha, but he had to climb the Shinobi career ladder from the very beginning.
The Uchiha who wanted to kill Madara were the most opposed to this decision, but the problem was that Madara was the second most powerful person after Tetsuya, so they had to agree to give him a chance.
But surprisingly, there was a person who did not want to see Madara within Konoha more than Uchiha.
Shimura Danzo. A man who took over from his teacher distrust of the Uchiha and raised him to the absolute.
After the meeting, Danzo burst into Hokage's office when he was alone Sarutobi!
The girl nodded and slowly entered the big seal.
There were two tables in the center of this seal. On one of them lay a faceless humanoid without any reproductive signs. A girl lay down on the other table.
Ready?
Yes. she answered, closing her eyes
Okay, let's get started.
The chakra burst out of Tetsuya's body and entered the seal, activating it.
Gradually, Orochi's body turned into smoke, which rapidly headed into the humanoid's body. When there was nothing left of Orochi's body, the second phase of the ritual began.
The humanoid's body began to slowly change and, unfortunately, not in the direction it should have.
"What the hell!?" Tetsuya exclaimed with a frown.
Slowly, the humanoid took the form of a perfect female body, but Tetsuya could not do anything, because this could put Orochi's life and existence under serious threat.
And so the ritual continued until its epilogue came.
The seal went out. The girl's eyelids trembled and eventually opened, revealing a mesmerizing snake pupil. Then the eyes turned black and three tomoes spun in them.
Turning off the sharingan, Orochi regained her snake pupil and slowly got up from the table I am a woman. she said calmly
- Yes. Tetsuya pursed his lips, "I do not know why this happened.
Nothing, don't worry. Orochi smiled slightly
Where did I go wrong? I couldn't be wrong. Uzumaki withdrew into himself
"Tetsuya, don't worry, I'm not upset about this outcome. Maybe it's fate.
The guy frowned and looked into the girl's eyes as if trying to find something - Are you sure you're not upset?
No, it's all right. Apparently this is fate.
No, I have to figure out the problem. Tetsuya shook his head and walked over to the seal
The girl bit her lip, watching as the guy went to get to the bottom of it.
After a while, Tetsuya exclaimed, "What the hell?
What is it?
It's not like that! I set up the seal so that you could return to your male form, but someone changed the seal! Instead, fuin on the contrary has strengthened your female transformation and consolidated it!
What a pity. the girl said calmly and spread her hands Apparently someone got in here and changed the seal.
It's impossible, I checked the seal yesterday and it was fine. No one could change her so much overnight. Tetsuya shook his head categorically
- hm. What if the criminal has not entered the laboratory for the first time? Perhaps he has already penetrated here several times and was able to study the seal enough.
Tetsuya looked skeptically at the girl So you want to say that some Shinobi, well versed in fuinjutsu, sneaked into your laboratory several times unnoticed and eventually changed the seal?
It seems so. Orochi shrugged her shoulders Don 't get hung up
"It doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone do that?
"How do I know what the criminal was thinking?"
That's also true... I think I'll find him. There are very few people capable of doing this, plus there should have been some evidence left
No need ... Orochi said softly, bringing her eyebrows together
Don't be afraid. Tetsuya waved his hand, looking suspiciously at the girl It's not difficult for me.
I said no need. Orochi said loudly and clearly, and then quietly added I don't want to drag you into my problems. I'll figure it out myself, I'm not a helpless little girl.
I understand. Well, when will we repeat the ritual?
Shall we repeat it? the girl said questioningly, clearly surprised
- Yes. This fuin certainly consolidated the results, but I think I can create a seal that can still return you to a man's appearance.
Yes, don't
Come on, it's not difficult for me. This is already a professional interest. Tetsuya narrowed his eyes. The guy's eyes sparkled with amusement.
"Well... will you need another homunculus?"
- Yes.
Then it will take time
A month?
No, I ran out of the right ingredients
I'll help you get them.
We need to grow a homunculus again, and I want this ritual to make me stronger again... so we need to get rare genes again All this should also take time ... plus the development of printing, and I need to rest, in general, not in the near future.
That's how. Well, if anything, call me.
- OK. Orochi breathed out
Oh, yes, before I leave, let me ask.
- Yes?
Why are you still naked?
Orochi looked at her naked body and tilting her head calmly said Oh, I forgot.
Nothing happens. I often forget to get dressed, too. Well, bye.
A moment later, Tetsuya disappeared.
The naked girl was left alone in this quiet room.
Wiping a few large drops of sweat from her forehead, Orochi exhaled softly and with relief "Sometimes you are so annoying and meticulous."
