Just as Orochimaru thought, after sending back Toya and Yin's bodies, Chiyo finally agreed to a truce.
As for how much time can be gained, it depends on who can recover faster.
Uchiha Chen did not choose to perform any more missions during this period. After all, the captain Sakumo was still lying on the hospital bed, so he stayed in Orochimaru's Underground Research Lab and started his own otaku life.
There are so many free Scroll, it's useless if you don't watch them.
Regarding the arrival of Uchiha Chen, Orochimaru did not express any objection. He just told him the technique of opening the door and let him sit alone in the room and study quietly.
Orochimaru himself continued to play with the corpse from Hidden Mist Village, but the experiment hit a bottleneck.
Obviously, one corpse can no longer meet his needs, he needs more Shikotsumyaku.
Time passed quickly. Hundreds of meters deep underground, Uchiha Chen didn't know how much time had passed, but Orochimaru took off his bloody gloves on the operating table.
"It's almost time for dinner. I want to celebrate your promotion to Jonin."
Just yesterday, the promotion report signed by Third Hokage finally came back from the village.
The two of them walked slowly up the stairs, and after a while, they arrived on the ground. Because at night, the temperature of Gobi Desert will also drop, and the drop will be very large.
Since it was the master celebrating his apprentice, it couldn't be in Base's cafeteria. Orochimaru, whose own achievements were astonishing, took Uchiha Chen to the corner of Base.
After sitting down, Orochimaru handed the menu in his hand to Uchiha Chen.
Because of the truce, there are not many ninjas left in Base. The business that should have been sluggish now seems to be even more prosperous than Konoha.
However, this prosperity is just an illusion. Now the war between Konoha and Sunagakure has reached its most critical stage. In this depressing atmosphere, everyone can only vent their fear of death in this way.
The two of them ate very quickly. Orochimaru seemed to be thinking of doing experiments after returning home, so he did not drink. As for Uchiha Chen, even if you want to drink it, you are not old enough to drink it.
"Go back and rest early tonight. Take advantage of this time to relax. Chiyo has gone crazy, so the war can start anytime." Orochimaru said lightly.
"Okay." Uchiha Chen nodded.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a heat on his hand, and something was calling him.
"Summoning Jutsu."
After a burst of smoke, Big White appeared on the dining table.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Both of them were watching Big White. If it came out at this time, it must have important information.
Sure enough, Big White brought a piece of bad information.
Team Team One, which is on a reconnaissance mission, is now in danger. Since there was no captain, Minato, Nawaki and Mikoto only acted with other teams on the periphery, but they were ambushed by Sunagakure Puppet Master.
Although Minato and the others escaped desperately, the situation is still very dangerous. Please support!
Before going to the battlefield, Uchiha Chen asked each of them to bring a small snake. If something unexpected happens and they can't call for help, they can tell the snake and let it channel the spirit back to notify him.
Uchiha Chen was just silent for a moment, then put down the chopsticks in his hands and stood up.
"Go ahead."
Orochimaru nodded, and then said, "You can go to support, but you must bring them back."
Orochimaru did not choose to follow them. In his opinion, the team has been handed over to Uchiha Chen, and he should be the one to rescue them.
If Orochimaru follows suit, then Sunagakure will inevitably not take any radical action.
In addition, he must also inform Tsunade. After all, there is Nawaki inside. If something like Toya happens again, God knows whether Tsunade will also go crazy!
"Then please ask Teacher Orochimaru." Uchiha Chen nodded.
The location sent by Minato is on the east side of the edge battlefield. If he goes at the fastest speed, it will probably take forty minutes.
But his speed was not the fastest, and he had to leave some chakra to deal with the upcoming battle.
However, in this case, the time spent will probably be delayed to close to an hour.
"Hold on!"
As the grandson of First Hokage, Nawaki can easily become the target of Sunagakure's fire on the battlefield. In the original book, Nawaki died on the battlefield, and he didn't want this to happen again.
Now that history has been changed, how can the gears of destiny continue to run on the same trajectory as before?!
"Minato, how is the situation outside..."
Nawaki, who looked very weak, asked with difficulty as he leaned against a large crater somewhere that was bombarded by Ninjutsu.
Behind the torn clothes, it could be seen that there were several serious stab wounds on his back, and his body was also seriously injured by Explosive Tag.
This is still a relatively lucky state.
After all, the three of them had just escaped from Sunagakure's Puppet Master Jonin.
"... The other party doesn't seem to have noticed us. I just sent a message to Chen, and he should be on his way now."
At this time, Mikoto was kneeling on the ground, taking out a bandage and a hemostatic bag from Ninja Pouch and wrapping them around Nawaki.
"Mikoto... Don't bother anymore. I feel like... I'm about to die..."
Nawaki said with some difficulty.
The injuries on his body were not a big problem. Even if he didn't bandage them, he wouldn't die within a few hours.
But the problem is, the Puppet controlled by Sunagakure's Puppet Master are all poisonous, and those toxins are corroding his life all the time.
Although Tsunade's antidote can suppress most poisons, the Sand Ninja is constantly improving. This suppression will not last long. If nothing unexpected happens, he can last for another two hours at most.
"It's okay, it must be okay... Chen will be here soon. As long as he comes here, you'll be fine!"
Mikoto squatted next to Nawaki, comforting his seriously injured friend with a voice that was about to cry.
"I hope he can come here as soon as possible, haha... I don't want to die either."
Nawaki scratched his yellow hair and said with a forced smile, "I didn't expect death to be such a painful thing."
Now Nawaki only felt as if his body was being hollowed out by the erosion of toxins. He clutched the pendant around his neck tightly, as if this could make him feel at ease.
This pendant was something left by his grandfather. He had been coveting it for a long time, but on his birthday not long ago, Tsunade gave it to him.
I just didn't expect that I was going to die without covering up the heat...?
"I'm only eleven years old and I don't have a girlfriend yet!" Nawaki thought unwillingly.
"Alas." He let out a long sigh and said, "Mikoto... If I die, I will give this pendant to Chen."
"This is a talisman, it will definitely protect him."
"..."
