Konoha Year 39, January.
Orochimaru and Tsunade, who had been taking turns for several months, gradually led the ninjas into the battlefield.
Instead of thousands of ninjas pouring into a war zone at the same time, they went north in two lines, all the way from Land of Rain into Land of Earth, all the way directly into Land of Grass.
This means that Konoha decided to deal with Hidden Stone Village first, and finally freed up his hands to deal with Hidden Cloud Village, who has the strongest military strength.
Although Ōnoki had expected this result, he was still worried when it actually happened.
Not to mention, in the past year, Hidden Mist Village was suddenly attacked, Hanzō was defeated, Hidden Sand Village was defeated... The current situation is really not too good for Hidden Stone Village.
Of the two war zones, Ōnoki is currently most worried about the southern line of Land of Earth, which is the war zone where Konoha Lightning and White Fang are located.
In fact, before Orochimaru increased its troops, Konoha and Sunagakure had several large-scale battles at the border.
Relying on the greater number of ninjas, Commander Bunga advanced step by step and slowly, constantly reducing the room for Konoha's army to perform. Within a month, not only did he regain all the lost ground, he also blocked the Konoha army on Land of Rain's side.
Coupled with the use of Roshi for Tailed Beast, it is a sure-win situation no matter how you look at it.
But at this moment when the victory was within reach, the Konoha army, which was inferior in strength, suddenly began to exert force and took the initiative to form an attack.
Sakumo actually faced the enemy with only a thousand ninjas. Holding White Fang Short Sword in hand, he rushed to the front and almost killed the commander Bunga while surrounded by Iwa-nin.
Senju Nawaki and Hyuga Hiashi each led five hundred ninjas to charge out from the flanks.
Konoha has a small number of people, and it is still difficult to stop Iwagakure's advance, but at this moment, another commander of Konoha, Konoha Lightning, appears behind Iwa-nin's army, once again repeating the feat of blocking Sunagakure's two thousand ninjas that day!
Roshi was by no means an ordinary ninja. He fought bloody battles and was able to keep Iwa-nin from collapsing in one battle under the impact of Chen's Gundam.
After this battle, Iwagakure once again returned to the territory of Land of Earth, while Konoha firmly occupied the position on the border of Land of Earth.
At this point, Ōnoki's idea of controlling the war within Land of Rain's territory was completely shattered.
In this case, Orochimaru and Tsunade came out on two fronts, with a total of three thousand ninjas supporting Land of Earth.
In desperation, Ōnoki could only bite the bullet and mobilize a large number of ninjas from the village to support the battlefield.
For a time, regardless of Konoha and Iwagakure, the strength of the two battlefields reached 15,000 ninjas.
It can be called the war with the largest number of people in the entire Third Great Ninja War.
As one of Five Great Nations, Land of Earth has a harsh environment, second only to Land of Wind.
Land of Earth Most of the country is composed of desolate rock walls. The wind blowing from the north will cross the mountains and blow the small rocks in the country to other countries. The nature named "Rock Rain" is now very famous.
However, although it is Gobi Desert, it is still better than Land of Rain which rains every day.
This is the common perception of Konoha Ninja.
Land of Earth border, Konoha Base.
At this time, there were only two masters and apprentices, Chen and Orochimaru.
They haven't seen each other for nearly two years since Chen Tiao left the Land of Wind war zone.
After handing over various tasks, we also rarely started chatting.
"The current situation is like this. Iwagakure has added five thousand troops and are distributed around Land of Earth, far away from us." Chen looked at the map and softly introduced the situation to Uncle Snake.
Orochimaru nodded and asked after a moment, "Are Bunga and Roshi so powerful?"
"It is indeed powerful. Bunga is extremely cautious, while Roshi can almost control Four-Tails's power.
Although the power of my Mangekyo Sharingan can make him hit Genjutsu, Four-Tails will immediately remove it for him. The two sides cooperate very well. "
If it was one-on-one, it would certainly not be a problem for Chen to defeat Roshi.
But Iwa-nin has more ninjas than Konoha. Bunga is an extremely cautious person. Roshi is surrounded by digital ninjas for protection. If Chen wants to go one-on-one, there is almost no chance.
Orochimaru crossed his hands, pondered for a moment, and said, "When the teacher comes, let me watch you and use Mangekyo Sharingan's power less."
Chen smiled and said, "I know."
In fact, after using it several times, Chen found that the side effects of Mangekyo Sharingan were not as severe as imagined.
If you use it too much, you will naturally experience various problems such as eye pain, but vision loss has not occurred so far.
To put it bluntly, Chen added so many points to Yang Release not for nothing. Not only does he have a huge amount of chakra, but his recovery ability is also increasing.
This is like the reason why Mangekyo Sharingan is not blind after Obito transplanted First Hokage's Cells.
Chen is the same now.
However, although his cells are highly active, they are definitely not comparable to Sage Body of First Hokage. To reach the extreme level of Yang Release like Hashirama, a large amount of points investment is required.
But it's not bad, at least it can keep him from going blind until Eternal Mangekyo.
"By the way, Danzo made a deal with me and asked me to help him study First Hokage's cells." Orochimaru suddenly said.
Chen was stunned, Danzo now has the idea of transplanting the plug-in?
But this is not surprising. Land of Hot Water's continuous defeat on the battlefield made Danzo realize that his strength was really poor. If he wanted to further improve, it was inevitable to choose plug-ins.
Fortunately, the controllability of Hashirama Cells is not that easy to solve. Even Orochimaru requires a long time of research.
Before the research is successful, Danzo cannot be easily transplanted into Sharingan.
After all, Sharingan's burden is too heavy.
If Danzo really owns the mirrored Mangekyo Sharingan, then it is still safe for the time being.
But we must also speed up the pace.
Chen thought so.
He can't do much on the battlefield now, but after the war, he must determine as soon as possible whether the other eye of the mirror is in the hands of Danzo.
Perhaps one day, the Yang Release in his cells will reach the level of First Hokage, and he will be able to avoid blindness without transplanting eyes or First Hokage's Cells.
But this is only possible after all. It is necessary to have a few more backup options to ensure that you will not go blind.
The two chatted for a while again, and Orochimaru talked about Mangekyo Sharingan.
"I have also studied the two Mangekyo Sharingan you gave me. They contain a large amount of Yin Release Chakra. It can be said to be the ultimate product of Yin Release."
As he spoke, he took out a glass bottle from Ninja Pouch and threw it to Chen.
"These are your father's eyes."
It is obvious that Orochimaru obtained extremely detailed information about Mangekyo Sharingan from Third Hokage.
He also knew about Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
In this case, Chen estimated that the next step would be to transplant such an important thing, so he thought it would be better to leave it to Chen himself for safekeeping.
Trust between two people is one thing, but Uncle Snake still has the awareness that he should have, and he has a good sense of proportion.
Orochimaru did not mention the one of Uchiha Yama because he still needs more research.
Chen didn't mention it either. He gave Mangekyo Sharingan to Orochimaru just because he needed to study it.
There are some words that don't need to be said out loud, but will only cause confusion if you say them.
"By the way, teacher, why are there Root ninjas around you?" Chen asked confused.
Although Root belongs to Anbu, his clothing and temperament are different from Anbu. Although the other party concealed his whereabouts, Chen still spotted the white-haired Root Shinobi at the first glance.
"You said B... he is an interesting guy."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
