Volume 1 Chapter 460 Orochimaru steals back to Konoha, the Third Mizukage returns to the Land of Water
A root of Konoha, a blackened snake, none of them are good people.
The reason they can get together is simply to benefit each other.
But mutual benefit doesn't mean you can sell me out at will.
It would be fine if it was easy to be sold, but what Orochimaru could not accept the most was that his hard work was destroyed.
It seems I need to go back.
Danzo has his own plans, and Orochimaru also has his own plans.
Isn't it just an underground base?
Danzo has it, and Orochimaru has it too.
It was not difficult for Orochimaru to leave for a few days. He sent someone to call Jiraiya over and put a piece of information on the table:
"This is special intelligence that we have received recently. Due to the impact of the war, the interior of the Mist Village is somewhat unstable, and the Kaguya clan and the Snow clan have made many small moves."
"I hope you can sneak into the Water Kingdom and investigate these two blood families, if possible..."
“No!!!”
Before Orochimaru finished speaking, Jiraiya shouted:
"If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't do such a thing."
It would have been fine if I had just sneaked into the Land of Water to investigate and gather intelligence, but you, Orochimaru, also asked Jiraiya to instigate the Kaguya and Snow clans to cause trouble. You think too highly of me, Jiraiya.
This kind of task must not be accepted.
After glaring at Jiraiya, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll leave the camp to you. I'll go into the Water Kingdom to investigate this matter myself."
"Are you serious?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened, his head bigger than two:
“Come on, you’re in charge of the camp, what would I do if you ran away?
This kind of task can't be completed in a day or two. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain to the old man."
Jiraiya never doubted Orochimaru's intention to personally sneak into the Land of Water to investigate and collect intelligence, because Orochimaru had done this many times.
Even though he was the commander-in-chief on the front line, he dared to sneak out to collect intelligence.
Ignoring Jiraiya's complaints, Orochimaru said:
"I will be back within ten days. With Senior White Fang and Chizuki here, no matter what the Mist Village wants to do, they will be able to stabilize the situation."
I really don’t know if I owed you this in my previous life.
Jiraiya scratched his messy hair in annoyance:
"Okay, I'll help keep an eye on it. You leave a shadow clone behind to handle the government affairs, and I'll take care of the rest."
Ten days is not a long time. Judging from the current war situation, the Mist Village would not be able to cause any big trouble. In addition, Hatake Sakumo and Chizuki were both in the camp, so Jiraiya compromised.
He knew that even if he disagreed, Orochimaru would eventually slip away quietly.
Instead of getting mad when you can’t find anyone, it’s better to make arrangements. It’s good that you come. At most you will have to work a little harder for the next ten days.
Orochimaru's departure had no impact on the war.
It's just hard for Jiraiya, as he needs help with all kinds of things.
"We're just going to let Orochimaru go like this?"
Minato didn't understand why Chizuki just sat there and watched Orochimaru leave the camp.
You have to know that if Orochimaru leaves, those shady things of his and Danzo's might be transferred or even destroyed.
"If you don't let him leave, do you still want to chase him?"
"Believe it or not, if you follow him, you will definitely be discovered. Don't underestimate Orochimaru. This snake is not easy to deal with."
Orochimaru's surveillance methods are very strong, and he will notice the slightest movement.
Not to mention Minato, even Chitsuki couldn't guarantee that she could follow Orochimaru without him noticing.
"Besides, evidence is no longer important from the moment Danzo was imprisoned."
Chitsuki doesn't care what research Orochimaru does or what trouble he gets into.
The only person he cares about is Danzo. As long as he can kill Danzo, nothing else matters.
As long as Orochimaru doesn't stare at him, it will be fine.
Compared to Danzo, Orochimaru is a very self-aware person, even though he sometimes acts foolishly and does stupid things.
But the harm is far less than that caused by Danzo.
As long as Orochimaru knows that you can pin him to death, he won't provoke you casually, unlike Danzo, who is crazy and seeking death in all kinds of ways.
As long as the research results are handled properly, whether Orochimaru will leave Konoha is another matter.
Well, if you don’t care, why should I worry about it?
Minato raised his hand to show that he hadn't said anything.
Since Qianyue had her own plans, he was too lazy to get involved.
Let's not talk about Orochimaru for now. After various lurking and detours along the way, Yagura finally returned to the Mist Village. After meeting the master, Yagura told him everything that happened in Konoha.
So the assassination plan was launched.
A scroll recording the current situation within the Mist Village was sent to the front line by the Intelligence Department.
In order to prevent the Third Mizukage from becoming suspicious, Yagura personally asked the intelligence department to pass the scroll to the Third Mizukage.
"A bunch of rubbish! They can't even handle such a small matter!!"
When the Third Mizukage opened the scroll and took a look, he couldn't help but burst into cursing.
Because of the continued war, the Mist Village had unlimited consumption, and financial and logistical problems arose. The Third Mizukage had known this for a long time, but he didn't care.
As long as he can allow the Mist Village and Konoha to consume without limit, he will have achieved his goal.
The village’s financial and logistical problems are getting bigger and bigger, which will affect the continuation of the war. The Third Mizukage naturally cannot sit idly by.
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that while he was causing trouble on the front battlefield, in his rear, the Snow Clan and the Kaguya Clan were restless and he didn't know what they were thinking.
In particular, the fearless Hyuga clan actually conspired to capture islands occupied by other clans.
Once the Kaguya clan starts taking action, one can imagine how chaotic the Water Country will become.
At that time, let alone continuing the war, it is still unknown whether a civil war in the Mist Village will break out first.
Don't underestimate the impact of war. Even a village with a profound heritage like Konoha couldn't withstand it, let alone the Water Kingdom which has been isolated for a long time and far away from the inland.
After simply transferring the power on the front line and making all the arrangements, the Third Mizukage hurriedly left with his guards and returned to the Mist Village.
What the Third Mizukage didn't know was that after he left, the people arranged by Yagura had already contacted Hatake Sakumo.
There was only one chance, and in order to prevent secret leaks, Chitsuki, Hatake Sakumo, and Minato set off directly without even notifying Jiraiya.
After fighting with the Mist Village for so long and completing a lot of intelligence gathering tasks, Minato left the mark of Flying Thunder God and some specially made kunai on many uninhabited islands around the Water Country.
These marks and kunai can all be used as teleportation points for Flying Thunder God.
"Let's go and meet up with Yagura first. We only have one chance. If we fail, it won't be so easy to force the Third Mizukage next time."
After the assassination attempt, the Third Mizukage will definitely be more vigilant.
Minato placed his hands on Chizuki and Hatake Sakumo, and the three of them left the front-line camp and after two transfers, they arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet with Yagura.
Arriving at the agreed location, Hatake Sakumo immediately looked around vigilantly.
Fortunately, Yagura didn't do anything weird, as there were only him and a few guards on the island.
After a simple greeting, Yagura took out a map, opened it, and pointed at the red dotted line on the map:
"Lord Mizukage left on the village's warship. Our people are with him. This is their route. The warship will arrive at our location around noon tomorrow."
