Volume 1, Chapter 87: Is this a disguised form of protection or a deliberate distraction?
It was also fortunate that the Nine-Tails was sealed well in Kushina's body, otherwise Orochimaru would have suspected that Xiaobai was the Nine-Tails with a different color.
With Xiaobai's help and Qianyue's own strength, subduing the ten thousand snakes should not be a problem.
Orochimaru didn't want to make trouble, purely because he had only borrowed the power of Ten Thousand Snakes a few times.
Sacrifices are required every time, and they are not easy to find.
Besides, there are many big snakes in Longdi Cave that are as powerful as Wanshe, so there is no need to hang yourself on Wanshe.
Since all the snakes ignored him, he could easily make a new contract with other snakes to work for him.
Other snakes are much easier to serve than Wan Snake.
"Start preparing, the decisive battle is coming, send a message to the camp and request support!"
There aren't many soldiers in the position. If you want to defeat the Rain Village, you need support.
The most difficult part in winning this war is how to defeat Hanzo!
Whenever Hanzo appears on the battlefield, he is almost an army of one man.
Wherever they go, people die, and they can't distinguish between friend and foe.
The toxicity of the salamander is so strong that sometimes even gas masks cannot protect against it.
As long as Hanzo is stopped, Konoha will have a great chance of winning.
Looking at Jiraiya and Tsunade, Orochimaru sighed inwardly:
"It would be nice if Sakumo-senpai were here."
Hatake Sakumo's fighting style just happens to restrain Hanzo. He is faster than Hanzo and can draw his sword even faster.
As long as they guard against Hanzo's poison and the three of them work together, it is not impossible to defeat Hanzo.
The strength of the three people during this period was far from reaching their peak.
It is not enough to rely on their own strength to defeat Hanzo, and they must have some external assistance.
Unfortunately, Hatake Sakumo is currently on the battlefield in River Country and it is impossible for him to make a long detour to come to Rain Country to help.
If Hatake Sakumo were missing from the battlefield of River Country, the difficulty of holding on would increase significantly.
The Rain Village is taking action, and Konoha is also taking action.
When Orochimaru asked for help from the camp, he also wrote down the merits of Chizuki and the other two. Danzo approved Orochimaru's request for help immediately.
A large number of ninjas left the camp and rushed to the front line.
At this moment, Danzo, the commander-in-chief, was thinking about other issues.
As for the decisive battle between Rain Village and Konoha, it is no longer his priority.
Anyone who isn't stupid can see that the Rain Village can no longer hold on.
Konoha doesn't even need to defeat the Rain Village. As long as it can hold them back and hold its position undefeated, Konoha will surely win.
Once Hanzo chooses to talk, the war situation will lead to a different outcome.
Danzo didn't want the war to end in such a muddle. He at least had to play an important role in it so that he could get enough benefits.
For example, during negotiations, strive for more benefits for Konoha.
"Master Danzo, Team Chitsuki has returned."
"Well, let them in."
Danzo was interrupted from his wild thoughts when he was informed by the Root ninja.
Qianyue and the other two walked into the command center, and it was still the diplomat Shuimen who took action.
"Master Danzo, when we arrived at the mission point, we found that the Sand Village camp had been moved. This mission has failed."
Won't we be punished?
That shouldn't be the case. We discovered the gathering of the Rain Village's ninja army, which can be considered a great achievement.
All Minato was thinking about was this, he was afraid that Danzo would be unhappy and directly record them as having failed the mission, which would be very uncomfortable.
If the mission is successful, there will be contributions and military merits, but if the mission fails, some of them will be deducted.
We launched a surprise attack on the enemy's supply camp, but it turned out that the camp was moved. Even if the Intelligence Department has to take the blame, if the superiors really care, even if you just walked in with your left foot first, it can be used as an excuse to cut you down.
It's just that Minato was thinking too much.
Danzo wouldn't bother with such things.
At this moment, he didn't care about such trivial matters. What he cared about was how to improve his reputation and gain more credit.
This is the most important thing.
You don't have enough reputation and achievements, but you still want to be Hokage?
No way.
Danzo still had that expressionless face. He glanced at the three of them calmly and said:
"The failure of this mission is a mistake by the Intelligence Department. We were unable to obtain the latest intelligence, so you made a wasted trip.
This mission failed and will not be recorded.
Besides, you have obtained the latest intelligence about the Rain Village, which is a great contribution to the village and the camp. I will have people take note of this and commend you when we return to the village."
"We are in urgent need of manpower right now. Many people in the camp have gone to the frontline to provide support, so I need you to carry out a mission."
Another mission?
Don’t we need to go to the front line to provide support?
Minato and Nawaki were surprised, and even Chitsuki didn't quite understand why Danzo made such an arrangement.
At this time in the camp, not to mention the jonin-level beings, even the special jonin and elite chuunin led their teams to the front-line positions for support.
And they have to perform other tasks.
Is this a disguised form of protection, or is it an attempt to get them away?
There was no reason for Danzo to protect them, and there was no reason to send them away.
Because the impact of the three members of the team on the war is minimal, unless Qianyue throws Xiaobai out and sets off Nine-Tailed fireworks for the enemy.
But Danzo doesn't know his trump card for the time being.
"I thought we could go to the front line with the support troops."
Sheng Shu sighed, his tone full of regret.
He didn't want to carry out any messy tasks at this critical moment.
He wanted to be on the front lines, fighting alongside Orochimaru and his sister Tsunade.
"Come on, if you go to the front line, will your sister have to fight or take care of you? Just follow the arrangements obediently."
He angrily slapped Sheng Shu on the back, almost killing him.
Qianyue walked towards the tent where the three of them were resting.
The mission won't start until tomorrow, so the team can have a day off today.
“Ahem!!”
You might as well just slap me to death.
Sheng Shu rolled his eyes several times, glared at Qianyue's back a few times, and raised his hand to make a few neck-cutting gestures.
Suddenly a little white head looked over, and Shengshu was so scared that he quickly put his hand down and smiled innocently at Xiaobai.
"idiot."
Xiaobai gave Shengshu an idiotic comment and turned away.
It sensed that someone was emitting malicious intent towards Qianyue, but when it turned around, it saw the idiot Shengshu, who was fighting wits and courage with his master's back.
"Ha ha ha ha......."
Minato laughed so hard that his stomach hurt and he could hardly straighten his back.
Shengshu has simply forgotten the pain after the wound has healed.
I used to keep saying that I would never mess with Xiaobai again, but it has only been a short time and I have forgotten about it.
Isn't this the typical case of asking for trouble that Qianyue often talks about?
In the new camp of the Sand Village, the Anbu placed the latest intelligence scroll on the table and said respectfully:
"Master Chiyo, this is the latest intelligence collected by the Anbu. There are big moves by the Rain Village and Konoha. Both sides seem to have the intention of a decisive battle."
"Konoha!!"
When these two words were mentioned, Chiyo was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her fur stood up immediately.
