Tsunade was silent for a while.
Orochimaru is indeed right. Opportunities are rare nowadays, but...
"There are so many sand ninjas stationed in Kikyō Castle. Even without Third Kazekage, we will suffer heavy losses."
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and said very calmly, "In this situation, do you still feel sorry for the battle losses?"
Without waiting for Tsunade to speak, Orochimaru shook his head directly and said, "I feel sad too. This is the place where the war first started, and it goes deep into Land of Wind. Supply transportation is ten times more difficult than other war zones.
Sunagakure feels very sad every time he fights with us.
When I couldn't sleep at night, I would look through the death list alone to see how many acquaintances there were!
Later, I had no fluctuations at all, and now, I am completely numb. The number of people who died is just a general number according to military intelligence! "
"Tsunade, from the beginning of the war to now, we have killed enough ninjas. The top priority is not to wait until how long until Chen and Sakumo defeat Land of Earth?"
"Do you think they won't be tired after leading thousands of people, traveling thousands of miles, and fighting in three war zones? Is Chen willing to invade Hidden Mist Village alone? Teacher, is he willing to face two thousand sand ninjas?
It's not like I was forced to do nothing. "
"Land of Wind The war zone has been dragging on for too long. Too many ninjas have died here. We must end the war as soon as possible and put the remaining strength into other battlefields. This is the wisest thing to do!"
"Yes, many people will die this time, more than before, including you and me!
But as long as we get past Kikyō Pass, everything will be smooth sailing after that. We can go straight to Hidden Sand Village, even if Third Kazekage doesn't want to surrender.
This is the last chance. We have no time to hesitate. If one more person dies here, Third Great Ninja War, the day may end early. It's that simple! "
Orochimaru exhaled a breath, narrowed his eyes and whispered softly, "This is war, this is Konoha."
Orochimaru was sitting alone on the chair, looking a little alone.
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, looking at this childhood friend who almost grew up with him.
She suddenly remembered Jiraiya who was far away in Land of Hot Water. It seemed that the three of them had not been together for a long time.
Then, she thought of Kushina in the village, Chen who was also in Land of Wind now, and Nawaki of Land of Earth.
After a while, Tsunade said softly, "I understand." "
Tsunade turned to leave, but when she opened the tent, she suddenly turned around and said, "Orochimaru, I feel you should smile more and stop holding it in the lab all the time."
Your current temperament is so cold that the little girl on duty just now was scared to tears by you. "
"..."
As Orochimaru and Tsunade dispatched ninjas, Chen, who was far away on the other side of Desert, also received the message.
"Teacher, he is going to launch a general attack." Chen turned to Third Hokage and said.
"A general attack?" Third Hokage squinted his eyes and thought for a while before nodding, "Although I am a little impatient, now is indeed the best time."
Third Hokage Although he has always been in the village and only came out this time, he actually knows the battle conditions in all war zones very well.
"It seems... I have to go Kikyō Castle again." Third Hokage said in a very calm tone and made a decision quickly.
"Are you going to provide support?"
Third Hokage nodded. "You have never been to Kikyō Castle, so you don't know the terrain there.
Kikyō Castle built the city on the mountain, and the terrain is difficult. Land of Wind is the most unique terrain and the only defensive area with natural depth. "
Third Hokage gritted his teeth and said, "So I must participate in this attack. I can't let all Konoha's ninjas die in Kikyō Castle. If only one less person dies, it's just one!"
Chen hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What do you do next? Do you need me to join the war?"
Third Hokage looked at Chen, shook his head and said with a smile, "You don't have to go. This ambush was actually all based on you. I didn't put in much effort. You've consumed too much, so you should go back and rest.
Land of Earth needs you to rush back and take charge of the overall situation. Sakumo alone may not be able to support it. "
Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Third Hokage continued, "In this war, you started from Land of Wind and traveled to several war zones. Thank you for your hard work."
"This is all what I should do as Konoha Ninja." Chen said softly.
Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction, then his expression gradually became a little solemn, and said, "But there is still one thing I need to remind you."
"Mangekyo Sharingan has extremely powerful power. The eyes of those who open their eyes will have different eye skills."
"It's just that using this kind of power comes with a price." Third Hokage said slowly.
"If it is used too frequently, the degree of vision loss will be aggravated, and it may even cause temporary blindness."
Third Hokage added, "Temporary blindness will improve with the recovery of pupil power, but... as the frequency and time of use become longer and longer, vision will irreversibly decline..."
"Until the end, the light is completely lost."
Chen nodded very calmly, "I know, these clan elders have already informed me."
Of course, he did not know it from within the clan, but this did not prevent him from passing on the source of this information to Great Elder.
Of course, Great Elder did tell him that he, the future patriarch, should know these things.
Third Hokage nodded. "It's good that you know, but I still want to remind you to try not to use this power in future battles. If you really become blind, your future career as a ninja will be almost ruined."
Third Hokage looked at Chen and suddenly sighed.
"Your father once opened Mangekyo Sharingan. With those eyes, Jing saved me and Danzo many times."
"It's just that he was ambushed later and his eyes were gouged out."
When he thought of this, Third Hokage couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, but at that time there was no way to investigate who did it.
Third Hokage even once doubted Uchiha Clan, the former patriarch...Uchiha Yama.
"It would be great if those eyes are still there. I heard Master Second Hokage say that Uchiha Madara once transplanted his brother's Mangekyo Sharingan. Not only did the eyes regain their light, but these eyes that regained their light will no longer be blind, but have permanent power."
"That is, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
"In fact, before Madara, there was no recorded ninja of the Uchiha Clan, open Mangekyo Sharingan. Since Madara can transplant his brother's eyes, you may not be able to restore the light by transplanting your father's eyes."
"It's a pity..."
Third Hokage sighed again.
Chen and Madara are obviously different, just like Kagami once was.
As Jing's son and Orochimaru's disciple, he himself has almost watched Chen grow up, so Third Hokage naturally believes in Chen.
If the other party can obtain this power, Konoha will once again have power that far exceeds that of other villages. In the next few decades, as long as Chen does not die, the war will not start again.
What a pity...
Third Hokage clenched his fists, and the wind and sand hit his face, ruffling his hair on the temples.
If he knew who did it back then, he would definitely kill that person!
