"Hey, hey, hey, you're the only reinforcement? Isn't your teacher too stingy?" Zabuza looked at Jūgo in front of him speechlessly.
At this moment, Jūgo was even more muscular than when he was at his peak. In addition to his normal skin color, he looked like a Hulk.
"Teacher said that the Federation's forces in the northwest must stay where they are to contain Konoha. Moreover, the Northern Federation and the Southeast Federation have to pass through most of the coast of the Land of Lightning by water and cross Konoha by land. The scale of the reinforcements directly sent in is bound to be small." Jūgo said silently.
Zabuza was not incapable of reading a map. Of course, he knew that the reinforcements could only be "small and elite". The reason he mentioned this was because he didn't expect that there would be only one reinforcement...
However, after knowing that Guan Liyuan led his men into the Land of Lightning, Zabuza could understand that Guan Liyuan's intention was very clear, which was to force the Land of Lightning to cease fire. As for the Southeast Overseas Battlefield, as long as they could withstand the attacks of the Land of Fire and the restored Land of Water, they would be fine.
"Are you sure you can make Konoha feel the threat from the northwest?" Zabuza confirmed again. After all, after defeating the Grass Country, the Federation and the new army did not actively attack Konoha, so the deterrent power might not be enough.
"Within three days, the Federation will announce that the commander-in-chief of the three major forces in the West Battlefield is Mr. Orochimaru." Shigeo said.
Well, a very reassuring answer!
Let the people of Konoha know that Orochimaru is the commander-in-chief. Even if the three major forces stay honestly, they dare not regard him as no threat.
Otherwise, if Tsunade has always been in charge, the people of Konoha may be a little fearless.
"What about Haku? Can't her Ice Palace be moved here?" Zabuza asked.
"After defeating the Ghost Lantern City, the Ice Palace will approach the mainland from the north of the Lightning Country to attract the attention of the Lightning Country." Shigeo said very honestly. There is nothing worth hiding from Zabuza.
"Then... what about you? As a reinforcement, what can you do alone? I remember that you are not a ninja?" Zabuza only heard Guan Liyuan talk about Shigeo in the correspondence.
"Indeed, in terms of things other than fighting, I only have perception... By the way, I can talk to small animals." Jūgo's tone was very modest.
Jūgo and Fushin were in similar situations. They had not undergone normal ninja training and were pure combat power... As for perception, it was a natural energy.
As for talking to small animals... Zabuza wanted to say: Your physique is not suitable for this kind of mascot ability!
"What about fighting?" Zabuza needed to know the strength of the "reinforcements".
Although there was only one person, Zabuza didn't care too much, but if the only reinforcement was not as strong as an elite jonin, as the Grand Speaker of the Southeast Branch, he might complain that Guan Liyuan was stingy!
"Before cooperating with Mr. Hiruko's experiment, I could be considered an elite jonin on the battlefield."
"Hiruko? Is that the guy in the Golden Wheel Mountains? Remember he was studying bloodline limits, right? You cooperated with his experiments... What about after the experiments?" Zabuza asked.
Among the people captured by Hiruko, there was also an elite jonin "Nakayoshi" of Kirigakure, who had been released by Guan Liyuan, so Zabuza also knew Hiruko.
"After the experiment, I haven't fought the enemy with all my strength, but teacher Guan Liyuan told me... if I use all my strength, no one in the current ninja world can match me." Jūgo's tone was as humble as ever.
But Zabuza couldn't help but stare at him motionlessly for a long time. If he didn't have eyebrows, he would look more imposing.
Facing Zabuza's expression of "Are you kidding me?", Jūgo said silently: "Of course, I don't know how strong I am, but my teacher told me so. If the Speaker of Momochi feels it's hard to evaluate, just count me as an ordinary five-shadow level."
Zabuza: "..."
Zabuza now really wants to know, why is this guy so loud?
And "ordinary five-shadow level"? As the "former" Mizukage, Zabuza himself is a drag among the five shadows! However,
when he thought that the other party said "Teacher Guan Liyuan told me", Zabuza thought of the mysterious guy who was picked up by Bai at the beginning, and he felt a little bit of expectation in his heart. Could it be that his big apprentice is really that strong?
At the same time, Okunobu, who was mentioned by Chougo, was not idle.
"What a disgusting environment... I feel that this person is going to evaporate into the air..." Hozuki Suigetsu was wearing a cloak and walking in the desert. He felt bad.
"That's not bad. In a sense, it is another kind of omnipresence." Hokunobu said calmly.
"No, no, no matter how you think about it, it has disappeared! And... who do you think I am here for? Isn't it because the Grand Speaker is worried that you might be beaten to death by the Fifth Kazekage Yekura if you go to see him by yourself?" Hozuki Suigetsu said fiercely.
As a result, he was given a cold look by Okunobu...
"I am very sorry! I am too arrogant!" It seems that Hozuki Suigetsu has remembered that the person in front of him is as powerful as Orochimaru.
Now, the bodies of Orochimaru and Hiruko are split from Guan Liyuan (?) as the mother body. Without the old disadvantages of Shen Ke, they perfectly constructed the ideal bodies after the two perfected their theories. Therefore, both in terms of strength and means, they are more terrifying than the two people who "excessively changed their skin" or "severely rejected" in the original work.
In terms of "immortality", Orochimaru is better than Hiruko, but in terms of direct combat, I am afraid Hiruko is stronger...
"But it is still necessary for you to be the main envoy. After all, it is not time for me to appear in my original identity... It's just that I am more clear about some alliance agreements between Ye Cang and the Grand Speaker." Hiruko said.
That's right, in theory, Hiruko and Mizuki are visiting the "Sand Village" on behalf of the Renewal Federation, with Hozuki Hozuki as the official envoy, and Hiruko is just a follower!
"But why me?" Hozuki Hozuki said with some doubts.
"Maybe the Grand Speaker feels... that sending you here is more sincere." Hiruko said silently.
Hozuki Hozuki took a long time to react!
Isn't it sincere?
What could be more sincere than sending a ball of water to visit the desert?
Of course, in addition to "sincerity", it mainly depends on Hiruko...
Although Hiruko imprisoned Ye Cang for more than ten years, the two should be considered to have a grudge, but Hiruko believes that he "saved" Ye Cang, otherwise Ye Cang would have died under the conspiracy of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Kirigakure.
And now Hiruko has been subdued by Guan Liyuan, who released Ye Cang, and even Ye Cang's ability to compete for the position of the Fifth Kazekage is inseparable from the Renewal Federation!
Originally, when Yagura returned to Sand Village, the advisory group was about to push Gaara to be the fifth Kazekage, but first Yagura suddenly appeared and revealed the fact that Rasa "persecuted Sand Village heroes" back then, and Yagura's statement was confirmed by Zabuza...
Anyway, the Mizukage who conspired with Rasa before was the fourth Yagura, and there was not much to criticize about the Kirigakure Village cooperating with Rasa to plot against Yagura. On the contrary, it was unacceptable that Rasa plotted against the hero of his own village because of fear, which almost cut off all support for Gaara at the grassroots level in Sand Village. After all,
if he was not the son of Rasa, at his age, he was still a long way from being a "kage", and the identity of Rasa's son at that time actually reduced points for Gaara.
At the same time, Orochimaru secretly released news and some confusing evidence, saying that it was Rasa who contacted him before to kill the Third Hokage. This made Konoha, the big brother of Sunagakure, also unable to trust Rasa's faction...
It can be said that Ye Cang's position as the Fifth Kazekage has a close relationship with the alliance, so even though he knew that after the death of the Third Hokage, the relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha was the closest among the five hidden villages, only short of becoming a subsidiary, but Guan Liyuan still did not give up the hope of winning over Sunagakure, which had not yet joined the game.
