Tsunade is right to worry. She is thinking from the perspective of Orochimaru's friend. But even so, it cannot be said that Orochimaru is wrong.
Orochimaru As the supreme commander of this transportation mission, he has the responsibility and obligation to think about the problem from the perspective of the interests of all Konoha Ninja.
The different standing positions caused differences between the two.
Of course, no matter from which point of view, Tsunade does not want his friend to make a fatal move, because this completely puts Konoha's safety and his own death together.
But if it were her, she would be the same as Orochimaru. After all, a sense of responsibility and mission can easily lead a person to do things that are unthinkable to others.
But even so, after Orochimaru left for a while, Tsunade still sat on the chair and sighed.
"What an idiot."
When Uchiha Chen reached an empty space with no one around, the figure in front stopped.
"Teacher, I suspect that the earthquake just now was caused by Shukaku."
Orochimaru nodded and said, "It's confirmed, so that's why I asked you to come over."
"What's the matter?" Uchiha Chen was a little confused, not sure what he could do to help.
"I'm going on a mission now, and I need you to come with me."
"Oh."
Uchiha Chen nodded.
"Is it about Sand Shinobi Raid Unit?"
"No. I'm going to deal with your familiar beast, One-Tails Shukaku."
You're lying in a big trough, what do you want to do? If you don't do a good job as a commander, why do you have to make big news?
"... Teacher, let me ask, what is the level of the mission?"
"At least A-Rank. But because of the existence of Third Kazekage, the difficulty may rise to S level at any time."
"... Teacher, you see, we usually don't have any grudges or complaints. By the way, I want to ask, besides you, is there anyone else?"
"It's just the two of us." Orochi's eyes were calm and showed no emotion.
"It doesn't matter if you refuse. After all, this mission is unilateral and I need your strength. The most I can do is die at the hands of Third Kazekage. You don't have to worry about me."
"... You said that, why did you let me refuse?"
"So you agree?"
"I agree, since it is the teacher's request." Uchiha Chen nodded, and then continued, "But in this weather, it is impossible for me to use Kirin, so it is difficult to say whether it will work."
"It's enough for you to agree."
Orochimaru smiled.
"What about time?"
"The mission is urgent. If there is nothing urgent, we have to leave now."
"Okay." Uchiha Chen nodded. "There is nothing to prepare."
"Then let's go."
At this moment, at a bonfire not far from here, a girl withdrew her gaze.
"The captain has left."
"Thank you, Himeji. I was just curious as to what the captain was doing in such a hurry, but to be honest, your Byakugan is really useful, especially for peeping." Taki Tōru showed a flattering smile.
After all, it would be too shameful to let your friends spy on you and tell them.
"... You said, Captain and Lord Orochimaru went on a mission?"
"Probably."
Himeji answered ambiguously. In fact, she did see the contents of the mission book just now, but this kind of thing must be kept secret, so she didn't tell her friends.
Tailed Beast?
Thinking of this, the girl sighed slightly, feeling a strong sense of frustration in her heart.
At this moment, Orochimaru took Uchiha Chen and quietly broke away from Konoha's Transport Corps, heading west.
In fact, the location where Shukaku was detected is more than sixty miles away from Konoha Transport Corps. Even with the two of them using their full strength, it would take twenty minutes.
The two of them ran forward quickly on the Gobi Desert beach, usually in the Orochimaru style. In this kind of mission, they would not talk. I just didn't expect that he was a little unusual tonight, and suddenly asked about the situation on Jonin Meeting that day.
Although Orochimaru didn't go, Uchiha Chen didn't believe that he didn't know what happened that day. However, because there were indeed many things that he wanted to ask Orochimaru for advice in person, he still described the situation in detail.
After talking about Danzo and Aburame Clan, Orochimaru's eyes were sharp, and the words in his mouth were as sharp and to the point as Shuriken.
"Do you think this is just Danzo simply trying to establish his authority?"
Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, "Others can only see the dispute between Danzo and Aburame Clan, but they don't see that Uchiha Clan and even Third Hokage Old Man are secretly adding fuel to the flames."
Uchiha Chen was also shocked when he heard this. How could Third Hokage and Uchiha Clan be involved.
I saw Orochimaru continue, "Root was founded by Danzo, but because it only takes orders from Danzo, most of its members are from war orphans. There are very few people in major families who are willing to send their people to the root. The overall strength of the root has always been inferior to Anbu."
"So Danzo is taking advantage of this incident to attack. You have to know that Aburame Clan is not the only one who wants to breed in the Konoha forest. Inuzuka Clan's Ninja Dog, Nara Clan breeds deer... Which of these families does not need a large area of forest. Danzo makes a fuss about the Aburame Clan, which has no sense of existence, which is a hint to all families to bow to him.
At the same time, he forced them to hand over their outstanding children to him! "
Uchiha Chen raised his eyebrows. He did remember that later Danzo was surrounded by ninjas Aburame Clan and Yamanaka Clan. It seems that Danzo's genius collecting habit started from this incident.
Orochimaru continued, "You are looking at Third Hokage Old Man. Although he asked Danzo to release him on the spot, he still handed over the patrol rights of the forest to him. I am afraid that he also had this intention. On the one hand, he wanted to use Danzo's hand to suppress various families. On the other hand, he also wanted Danzo to turn against the major families."
"A Danzo without ninja support is a good Danzo!"
Orochimaru's analysis of the Jonin Assembly incident is very thorough. Generally speaking, it involves the dispute between Third Hokage and Danzo, the battle between Konoha High Command and Uchiha Clan, and the battle between Konoha High Command and various major families.
Uchiha Chen nodded secretly and said, "So in the final analysis, the essence of this matter is still the dispute between Hokage."
Orochimaru was not focusing on Hokage Position at this time, but was thinking about what exactly Danzo used to impress Uchiha Yama and let him temporarily give up the right to guard Konoha.
You must know that Danzo secretly sent him several corpses with Kekkei Genkai on them.
It's just a show of goodwill!
Orochimaru licked his lips as he thought, "It should be something wonderful for Uchiha Yama!"
