When the combat force was just allocated and deployed, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not mention the names of the four Orochimaru people. Naturally, they had other uses.
Everyone can guess that Orochimaru and the others have captured Third Kazekage. They can almost be regarded as the four people who have made the greatest contributions to Land of Rivers Battlefield this time. They will naturally participate in this negotiation.
Even if it's just to be a mascot.
Well, they really just want to be mascots. After all, the youngest of the four is only twelve years old, and the oldest is only twenty-four. They are good players on the battlefield, but they are not good enough in politics.
But then again, even if they were to act as mascots, there would still be a group of people licking their faces and wanting to join in. Such a big scene would not happen once in many years. Being able to go in and have a look would also be a talking point for one's children and grandchildren in the future.
I think back then, my grandfather and I were also at the scene. That guy, that scene, it was quite big! It was really: gongs and drums roaring, firecrackers blasting, village flags fluttering, and a sea of people. One step down, and several sand ninjas were trampled to death...
When they thought of this, everyone looked at Orochimaru and their eyes became more and more passionate, but they were envious, and they still had some b numbers. If they really wanted to rush up and anal Third Kazekage and Shukaku, I don't know if they could see the red flag waving, but the spirit flag was waving for sure.
Everyone also understands that the position of Fourth Hokage... is probably created between Sannin and Sakumo. Everyone else should go to sleep.
As for Uchiha Chen, it was naturally ignored.
Without him, he is too young.
When the four people walked out of the office, the sun was shining brightly outside.
Uchiha Chen looked up at the sky. The clouds were very thick, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, as if they were changing every moment.
"So you have decided to use Mikoto's injury as an excuse?" Orochimaru suddenly asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yeah, what else? I can't go out on missions now." Uchiha Chen shrugged.
The two were discussing Uchiha Clan's preparations to attack Sunagakure Negotiation Delegation. After returning from Hyuga Tenko, Uchiha Chen discussed it with Summoning Snake and Orochimaru, and finally came up with such a reason.
——Mikoto is going to have an operation, and he can't live without it for the time being.
This reason is impeccable, everyone knows the relationship between Mikoto and him.
But Orochimaru is still a little unbelievable.
The war is obviously over, why take the risk for a sneak attack?
You know, the village will compensate you for your losses during the war, but the village will never compensate you for the losses caused by your own troubles, and it is even happy to see the consequences.
And in Orochimaru's view, war does not distinguish between right and wrong, only positions.
The sand ninja killed your relatives, didn't you kill your relatives? Since the other party has surrendered and the benefits have been obtained, there is no need to continue to die and cause greater losses.
But there are exceptions to everything.
If you don't have enough understanding of the madness in the Uchiha Clan's bones, it would be difficult to think of their plan.
Therefore, although the current Orochimaru has enough intelligence and strength, in terms of experience and grasp of people's hearts, he is still weak, at least not as good as an old fox like Hyuga Tenko.
"That's it. I still have an experiment to do, so I'm going back first."
As he spoke, Orochimaru was ready to leave.
"Don't."
Jiraiya suddenly pulled his arm.
"The four of us haven't gotten together since the end of the war, so let's take advantage of it now. We're still busy in the afternoon anyway."
"Okay." Sakumo nodded, it would be fine if he went back.
Seeing Uchiha Chen hesitate, Jiraiya quickly added, "My treat!"
Uchiha Chen's eyes lit up and he was about to agree, but Jiraiya added another sentence, "The location is in the alley east of Commercial Street.
I think you all know which one it is, right? "
The expression on Uchiha Chen's face froze. He knew exactly which company it was.
When he went back to Konoha two years ago, he was tricked by Nawaki, and then he invited hundreds of classmates to have dinner there.
Originally, he pretended to be Tsunade to get credit, but later he was discovered and had no choice but to become Jiraiya.
God knows how much the interest should be for two years of debt. Anyway, it won't be too little, otherwise Jiraiya wouldn't look so angry.
"I have been back to the village three times in the past four years. Why is it that I am not here, but a large amount of money is credited to my account every year?
Who can explain it to me! "
"..."
Uchiha Chen I'm sure he only got credit once, and the others must have nothing to do with him.
"Jiraiya, I still have an experiment to do, why don't you go ask Tsunade?" Orochimaru is a little unsure.
"Tsunade Then of course I'm going to invite you later. Yesterday she even ordered takeout, in my name.
Huh? Chen, where are you going? "
"Ahaha, I need to go to the toilet... Frequent urination is an old problem, you know."
The honest man Sakumo looked at the fight in front of him with a confused expression, and at the same time secretly made a decision: He must never give his daughter to Uchiha Chen!
At this time, Hidden Sand Village was thousands of miles away.
Compared with the peaceful atmosphere of Konoha, this place is a bit depressing.
The clouds of war have not completely dissipated from here. Third Kazekage is still in the hands of Konoha, and only unknown exploitation is waiting for them.
Yesterday, Suna Ninja's negotiation team had already set off, and Ebizo did not follow this team to Konoha.
The village currently lacks high-end combat power. As one of the elders, he must stay and take charge of the overall situation to prevent Shukaku from sneak attacks.
At ten o'clock at noon, he walked through the empty streets and walked towards the Ninja Academy.
This time of day is his favorite time, away from all kinds of complexity, he can enjoy the rare silence.
The sky at Hidden Sand Village was always so bright that it was incomprehensible. Rows of tall sand castles looked like giants against the sky. Looking at the scenery in front of him, he realized that this kind of peace was what he wanted.
But the price is too high.
At eleven-thirty, he looked at his watch and frowned, because Scorpio would have walked out of school at this time.
But no one has been seen yet.
"What, Scorpio didn't come to class this morning?"
"Yes, Master Ebizo, I thought you knew."
Ebizo was not in the mood to care about the irresponsible Chunin in front of him, so he hurriedly walked towards his home.
But no Scorpion was found at home.
So he went to several places where Xie usually went, but found nothing.
Ebizo was a little anxious. If Xie disappeared, he really didn't know what Chiyo would do when he came back.
But where can I go?
Suddenly, a shiver ran through his body.
Could it be...
He turned around and ran towards Sunagakure Cemetery.
