Chapter 425 White Snake Ambition!
"Why use rare ninjas instead of the abundant bandits? The question is actually very simple, because of chakra!"
"Chakra is a combination of spiritual energy and cellular energy in a certain ratio. Everyone has it, at least for now."
"He's actually gotten this far? How far has this guy advanced because of the magic I brought?" Shiro looked at Orochimaru in surprise.
"Although everyone has it, there are actually quite a few differences. So, do you have any questions about this view?"
As a conscious being, Orochimaru now has a keener perception. After he expressed this point of view, he clearly sensed the doubts conveyed by Azu and asked in a gentle tone.
".Well, there is one thing, Lord Orochimaru. Ordinary people don't have chakra, right?" The crow possessed by Azu's will first glanced at Shiro, and then asked carefully.
Hearing this, Orochimaru was stunned for a moment and looked at Shiro with a little confusion. As Shiro's assistant, Azu shouldn't be at this level.
"Ha~" Shiro smiled and shook his head, "Don't be confused, A-Zu really doesn't know this. His current studies don't allow him to be exposed to these things, so he hasn't been exposed to them too much."
"But now that you've asked, let me briefly explain. You're familiar with the composition of chakra: spirit plus cells. Everyone possesses these two, the only difference being the amount."
"Then naturally, chakra is something that everyone has. It's also a matter of quantity. Those with more chakra have the qualifications to be a ninja."
"To give you the simplest example, illusions are a technique that disrupts the opponent's brain's chakra to create confusion. So, are ordinary people immune to illusions?"
After listening to Shiro's explanation, there was no need for Orochimaru to say more. Azu already knew why the bandits were not used. The difference between having chakra and not having chakra is really huge.
And this will cause huge interference to the experimental results, after all, the variable of chakra is a bit too large.
Thinking of this, Azu did not bother Orochimaru to continue explaining, and directly controlled the crow to salute Orochimaru, "Thank you for your explanation, Lord Orochimaru, I understand."
"Really? That's good. I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now. Shiro-kun, let's proceed as planned. You should also be prepared to end the war at any time. After all, the teacher and the others should be arriving at their destination soon."
"Don't worry, Orochimaru-senpai. I will."
After Shiro finished speaking, Orochimaru's will, the white snake's mouth corners slightly curved, and dissipated in the barrier. Shiro also lifted the barrier. The things he wanted to explain to Azu had already been communicated during the initial information transmission.
There was no need to waste any more words, so after the barrier was lifted, A Zu controlled the crow to salute Shi Lang and left. His next task was very important and could not be delayed.
On the other side, at the place where the second and third generations had parted, an ape-like old man in tight clothes stood up from the ground. The nostalgia in his eyes instantly disappeared, and he calmly looked at the Anbu ninja who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hokage-sama, we have already found out that there is someone inside Kumogakure now..."
The old man, the third generation, listened to the ANBU in front of him talk about the defense of the Hidden Cloud Village. His eyes were stern and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Following the Third Hokage's order, a large number of masked shadows rushed out from the jungles on both sides. They were none other than Konoha's most elite force - the Anbu!
As a department whose minimum entry requirement is combat-oriented special jonin, the Anbu has always been Konoha's top-tier strength and is the Hokage's greatest guarantee of power besides his own strength! It is no longer just an intelligence department.
At this time, Konoha's official single highest combat power - Hokage, and the strongest department - Anbu appeared in the territory of the Land of Lightning near the location of the Hidden Cloud Village. Its purpose is self-evident.
According to current intelligence, Yunyin has almost sent out all its forces on the front battlefield!
Basically, those who can still fight have already gone to the battlefield!
Although this brought huge advantages to their front line, it also inevitably left the rear empty.
In fact, the Raikage had also considered this, but the previous situation was Konoha against three, and the Raikage thought he could directly push the front line forward. In his opinion, Konoha would not even have time to defend at this time.
But who would have thought, who could have thought!
Konoha produced Orochimaru who could resurrect the dead. He single-handedly took over the entire battlefield of the Land of Earth, leaving most of Konoha's troops empty!
Who could have thought of this!?
Moreover, the effect of Minato's flash on the battlefield was too great. He single-handedly delayed the situation on the entire battlefield of the Land of Thunder and forcibly delayed the battle until reinforcements arrived.
A good blitzkrieg was turned into a protracted war.
So, when the third generation learned that the high-end combat forces of the Hidden Cloud Sect were being dragged on the battlefield, he simply waved his hand, displayed his style as a heroic ninja, and directly planned a surprise attack on the Hidden Cloud Sect's lair!
He left the precarious front line to Minato, Orochimaru and Shiro, and led the elite Anbu to Kumogakure alone!
The purpose of this battle, in addition to directly attacking the old nest and indirectly supporting the front line, also has two important purposes.
One is to plunder the ninjutsu information of Kumogakure. It is impossible for them to carry the village's ninjutsu information with them. After all, if they die, everything will be gone.
The other is the more ethereal Six Paths Ninja Tool. There is little hope for this. Even if Kumogakure really finds it, it will most likely be taken to the front line.
Therefore, the main purpose of this trip is to obtain those precious ninjutsu materials!
This is also the reason why the Third Generation personally brought the Anbu here. At this time, the Third Generation's strength was still at its peak. Even if the Third Generation Raikage was in front of him, he was confident that he would never be defeated!
Not to mention the elite Anbu accompanying him.
At the same time, Konoha's other masked army, the Root, was also rushing towards Kirigakure under the leadership of Danzo. Konoha was outnumbered, and killing one head was not enough; at least two were needed.
Unfortunately, Kirigakure, with its many bloodlines, became the next leader. However, because of its inherent strength and the fact that it did not deploy all its troops on the battlefield, its own defense was still relatively outstanding.
The harvest is destined not to be great, so it will be given to the roots that are slightly weaker.
Unlike the Anbu who advanced in secret, the Roots who were rushing on the sea had no way to effectively conceal their bodies due to the terrain. Therefore, they could be said to be relying on their own powerful strength to move forward by stepping on corpses!
Therefore, although they killed all the Mist Ninjas who saw them along the way and reduced the possibility of being exposed, the Mist Ninjas, which had lost a large number of contact ninjas, inevitably realized that something was wrong.
We are now in a state of high alert, which has significantly reduced the already meager expected harvest.
As a result, Danzo's face was very gloomy throughout the journey. The harvest was small to begin with, and now it was even less. He would not be happy about such a thankless task no matter who it was.
But this wasn't the most upsetting part for Danzo. He had already prepared himself for the small harvest before coming. What really upset him was the Root members who died along the way.
You know, those who came here with him are all core members of the Root, and they are all very strong.
The original purpose of establishing the Root was to supply talents to the Anbu, which means that this place is actually a training ground for the Anbu. He only managed to accumulate this little bit of foundation by relying on the guilt that the Third Generation felt towards him.
Now that he has suffered so much loss, how can you expect him to look good?
But he had to come, because this was the order of the Third Generation. Although Danzo often quarreled with the Third Generation and seemed very tough, it was because Danzo knew that the Third Generation would definitely submit to him.
Because of that inexplicable debt
But precisely because of this understanding, he knew that the ninja hero would never give in at this moment!
If he resists and delays Konoha's plan, the first one to suffer will be Danzo!
This also strengthened his determination to launch a surprise attack on Kirigakure. Since he couldn't avoid it, he had to make up for the loss. Kirigakure, with its many bloodlines, was a good option.
"Puff~"
Danzo once again slashed the kunai in his hand across the neck of the Mist Ninja, bringing a large amount of blood to fall in front of his indifferent eyes. He glanced at the sea where corpses were floating, and looked closely at the corpses that were beginning to increase in number, and narrowed his eyes.
"From now on, no more hiding, just charge in!"
"yes!"
Earth Kingdom Battlefield
Just as the Third Hokage and his men were entering the final process, the battlefield in the Land of Earth, which Orochimaru was in charge of, also entered the final stage!
Due to the information about the whereabouts of the Third Generation and others obtained from Azu, Orochimaru has recently stopped the creation of the Cursed Forest, which has greatly increased the progress of the Iwagakure.
Although the purpose of their battle was to collect experimental materials, another important goal was to establish merit, which was also important for their subsequent plans.
In the third generation, if they ended the battle before the surprise attack was completed or ended the battle after it was completed, the merits they gained would be two completely different concepts.
Although these achievements are meaningless to Shiro and Orochimaru given their current reputations, don't forget that they are now part of the small force led by Minato.
Although Minato's reputation will not be added to his head, and the vote score will not increase, but it is well known that the election of Hokage has always been decided by the upper echelons, and the election process is followed.
And these achievements will be counted on Minato's head, which is very beneficial to Orochimaru and Shiro, especially for Orochimaru who has made his intention clear to the third generation and will no longer compete for the position of the fourth generation.
Doing it secretly by yourself and having the Hokage support you in doing it quietly are two completely different concepts!
So, the Rock Ninjas were surprised to find that the jungle that was extremely difficult to clear some time ago suddenly became much easier, although they also knew that this was not normal.
But the war dragged on for too long. Their military force was already very large, and coupled with the heavy tasks, their consumption was much greater than expected.
Therefore, they could no longer wait, and after trying their best to ensure that there were no traps, they continued to advance steadily.
In the underground dark room, Orochimaru was unusually not at the lab table, but standing in front of a table covered with a map, thinking quietly, like a Confucian scholar.
If there is no equipment with human body immersed in it.
Looking at the chess pieces scattered across the map, Mori, who was sitting opposite Orochimaru, looked up at the thoughtful Orochimaru and said calmly, "Does it make sense? No matter what the terrain is, they will destroy it. In the end, the two armies faced each other head-on, and you showed no intention of stopping them. Is this map meaningful to you?"
"Ha~" Orochimaru chuckled and looked up at Mori, "Whether it makes sense or not depends on Mori-kun. If Mori-kun is willing to help me, then no arrangements are necessary."
"Me? You can ask me to help you. I can also tell you what you want to know, but I have a prerequisite."
"Oh? Mori-kun, why don't you tell me~"
"I want to see your strength!" Mori's eyes flashed and he looked straight at Orochimaru. This was his last test for Orochimaru.
In the past few days, he had witnessed Orochimaru's ability in research. He didn't need to worry about his talent, but his character. He had already understood the critical situation of the world and no longer cared about this.
But talent alone is not enough. That crisis cannot be overcome by talent alone. Strong strength is also needed!
Therefore, Mori wanted to know whether Orochimaru himself had a way to transform this outstanding talent into combat power. If not, he would not place too much hope on Orochimaru.
Hearing this, Orochimaru was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Is that all? If Mori-kun wants to see it, you can anytime. How about now?"
Looking at the confident Orochimaru, Mori narrowed his eyes. To be honest, he didn't quite believe in Orochimaru's fighting ability. After all, his temperament didn't quite match it.
Such a refined person's fighting ability should not be very high. Having research talent does not mean that he has strong fighting ability.
This point is very clear in Mori's perception. In his eyes, Orochimaru has always been the elegant type. What about his fighting ability? !?
Just as he was thinking about it, Sen suddenly sensed five chakras reacting with extremely violent energy, and filled with strong aggressiveness!
Although their reactions are different, the essence is Orochimaru!
"What's wrong? Mori-kun, are you surprised?"
"It's rare to see Mori-kun so surprised."
“So I can be proud?”
Mori looked at the six Orochimaru talking to each other in front of him in shock and was completely speechless.
"Hiss~Hu~"
After a while, Mori calmed down and looked at the "Orochimaru" in front of him with complicated eyes, "Fire Style, Lightning Style, Water Style, Earth Style, Wind Style, and Yin Style."
"You should have a Yang-style clone, right? Are you planning to follow the path of the bloodline network?"
"Kekigen Gōra? Is that your name? Looks like I was on the right track. Hey~ I'm really lucky to have reincarnated into you."
".Genius can't even be used to describe you, Orochimaru! How did you find this path? Also, let me remind you that the final fusion is the key, and it's not easy."
"First, let me answer the first question. How did you discover it? Mori-kun, do you remember the tailed beast chakra I studied? Your descendants once told me that the tailed beasts can be fused. This is the source of inspiration."
"Then the second one, I have a general idea about this fusion, and I would like to ask Mori-kun for some advice on whether it is feasible. After all, my experiments have always failed."
"Failure?" Mori muttered to himself in confusion, then looked at Orochimaru and the others in shock, "Those white snakes who can take away ninja abilities are experimenting with this?!"
I thought about the ability of Orochimaru for a long time, but I couldn't think of a suitable one. In the end, I could only be a plagiarist. The source of the ability concept is the reincarnation eye of the fantasy dragon, but the one he intends to use is the ghost bud Luo. I am Yaqi
