"Unexpectedly... the Eight Gates in my hand is actually just a semi-finished product developed by Second Hokage back then, but fortunately..."
Shennong was thinking a lot in his heart, but he smiled kindly at Shura.
The Taijutsu of the young man in front of me is very similar to Eight Gates. It can even be said that this is a genius who has the same high talent and talent as Might Duy in terms of Taijutsu!
In the original work, in an injured state, Shura who activated the third breath can compete with Rock Lee who activated the first Five Gates. This shows that Seven-Day Breathing Method is amazing. According to Rock Lee, Shura has developed his own Eight Gates!
If Seven-Day Breathing Method can be obtained from him, then...
Shennong looked at Shura who was talking and laughing with Juan, and narrowed his eyes.
"Land of Rain launched a large-scale test? Do they want to attack instead of retreating? Their high-end combat power is indeed not inferior to ours, but the scale of mid- and low-end combat power is seriously insufficient. Why not continue to maintain the previous defense, instead..."
Shikun Mitarashi looked puzzled.
In a situation where high-end combat power is entangled, once the mid- to low-end combat power is eliminated by Konohagakure, those Jōnin that are free will be able to intervene in slightly higher-end battles.
Although they are certainly no match for those strong Kage Levels, multiple Jōnins can still cause some trouble if they join forces, which may very well be an opening to break the deadlock.
That's why Shikun Mitarashi feels that Amegakure's actions are a bit strange.
"It doesn't matter. The main body has now returned to Shinobi World. Even if Nagato takes action, we have checks and balances."
Orochimaru's Clone Doppelganger, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face, observing the virtual projection showing the battlefield situation in front of him, constantly thinking about something.
"But... do you think there is a possibility? I mean... Amegakure's true purpose... is not to start a large-scale battle with us, but to cover up something?"
Shikun Mitarashi nodded.
This is indeed a very possible situation, and Amegakure most likely will not be so unwise.
"Since Nagato still hasn't shown up, we can conclude that Amegakure doesn't really mean to start a decisive battle with us."
Based on the information collected by Konoha Ninja, Orochimaru is constantly analyzing all possibilities.
To be honest, he initially tried to use satellites to detect the situation in Yuyin Village. However, it rained every day in the Country of Rain. Even if there was no rain, it was basically cloudy. The sky was filled with dark clouds, which obscured the satellite's detection.
During the conversation, the voice of Anbu Ninja came from outside the camp.
"Sir Fourth Hokage, red Jōnin's Team 8 has detected important information and wants to report it!"
"Bring it in!"
Kurenai Yūhi came in with his two disciples and reported to Orochimaru the situation they had just detected.
After listening, Orochimaru's expression changed.
"So, Hong, your class has detected the news about the remnants of Sunagakure?"
If it was an action to protect the remnants of Sunagakure, then Amegakure's current behavior can be explained.
After all, Amegakure is just conducting a large-scale test, not a large-scale attack.
"Teacher Orochimaru, at first, Ya and Akamaru smelled the smell left by the movement of a large number of people. Later, according to the footage detected by Shino's bugs, it was shown that these people are probably the remnants of Sunagakure."
Kurenai Yūhi pointed at Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame and said, Akamaru, who was lying on his head, also shouted twice with his head held high proudly.
Like Kai's Team 3, Kurenai Yūhi's Team 8 is not fully staffed now due to the shortage of Neji and Hinata.
"If that's the case...Zixiao, I'll leave this matter to you. Hong, you can also be Zixiao's deputy."
"Don't worry, Lord Orochimaru, I will give them all to the remnants of Sunagakure..."
Shikun Mitarashi made a scratching motion on his neck.
Orochimaru shook his head.
"No, I hope you can put as much water as possible when chasing and encircling them."
"Huh?"
Shikun Mitarashi was stunned. He did not expect that this was the job that Orochimaru wanted him to do.
"Teacher Orochimaru, what are you..."
Kurenai Yūhi hesitated to speak.
"Just do as I say. If there are other forces in the ninja village who want to defect to Amegakure after they are destroyed, do the same!"
Although Shikun Mitarashi and Kurenai Yūhi did not understand what Orochimaru meant, they still went out to arrange the team and prepare to carry out the next task.
"Teacher Hong, what does Lord Hokage mean?"
As soon as he walked out, Kiba Inuzuka couldn't hold back his temper and asked Kurenai Yūhi.
"Woof woof!"
This is Akamaru next to Kiba Inuzuka.
Shino silently pushed up his glasses, showing no sense of presence.
"Senior Zixiao, what do you think?"
Kurenai Yūhi did not return first, but asked Shikun Mitarashi, who was older and more experienced.
After all, Shikun Mitarashi has followed Orochimaru for so many years and has always existed as his right-hand man. Maybe he can figure out what Orochimaru means.
Shikun Mitarashi pondered for a while, then slowly said:
"Land of Rain is just a small country, and it has been in a confrontation with us. The real masters in Sunagakure have basically been eliminated. It is estimated that there will not be many masters among those who came. Maybe the purpose of Lord Orochimaru is to lure these people in and increase their logistical pressure?"
"No, it must be more than that. Could it be that there are spies sent by us among the remnants of Sunagakure? No, it is still wrong. This does not explain why the water should be released if there are people fleeing from other villages."
Kurenai Yūhi looked at Shikun Mitarashi's frown in deep thought.
"In other villages, could it be said that... Teacher Orochimaru's layout is not only focused on the present? It is indeed possible that Teacher Orochimaru can see what will happen in the future."
Kurenai Yūhi shook his head and no longer cared about these things.
"Okay, everyone, we should complete the tasks assigned by Teacher Orochimaru first!"
"That's right, as long as Lord Orochimaru orders it, we just have to do it. After all, he has always been a bit unreasonable in doing things, but in the end he showed extraordinary results. Perhaps this time, Lord Orochimaru asked for this because he saw what would happen further in the future!"
In the past, Shikun Mitarashi was like this when he was young. He would directly follow Orochimaru's instructions. However, after becoming Anbu Chief, he had to stand alone. In addition, Orochimaru often acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, so he gradually began to learn to think.
It's still Land of Rain, somewhere in a remote dense forest.
There is a base hidden underground here, which is also where Danzo lived before his death.
Land of Fire That place is within Orochimaru's sphere of influence. Danzo definitely doesn't dare to stay. And if the other four major countries know his whereabouts, then no matter the hatred caused by the past war or the information he has in hand, the other ninja villages will definitely not let him go.
At least based on what he has done over the past few years, there are definitely many people in other major countries who hate him to the core.
Danzo died in Konoha Incident, and was pulled to death by Hiruzen Sarutobi using Reaper Death Seal.
In front of Konoha Incident, the shadows of the Ninja Village and a large number of elites were not dead yet. They had enough power to control Danzo.
Therefore, the only places Danzo can stay are small countries, and they cannot be those that are weak or bordering Five Great Nations, because in such places, no one knows whether Five Great Shinobi Villages has a certain arrangement there.
So Land of Rain is the best choice.
Although this place borders many big countries, since the emergence of Hanzo of the Salamander in Second Ninja War, during the period of Third Ninja War, no ninja village has ignited the flames of war here.
Because Amegakure who owns Hanzō does have the ability to change a Ninja Wars situation.
Although Hanzō had died at the hands of Pain, no one would have leaked the news that Hanzō was dead before Konoha Incident. Even Danzo was related to this incident at the time, but after Root lost a large number of elites at that time, he recovered Konohagakure, it was not until a few years passed, Nagato created Six Paths of Pain, that Hanzō truly died. After that, due to the internal closure of Amegakure, the news of Hanzō's death never spread, but his reputation still shocked Five Great Nations.
And even if the news of Hanzō's death spreads, Nagato, who has the ability to kill Hanzō, has taken over the position of leader of Amegakure. With such a strong man, Five Great Nations will probably retreat soon if he can test it a little bit.
Unless you escape outside Shinobi World's continent and stay away from Land of Water, this is indeed the only hiding place for Danzo.
Although Akatsuki Organization joined Akatsuki Organization, Danzo still retained its previous habits. In addition, Root gathered many peripheral personnel of Root who had stayed outside in the past. Root finally recovered a little bit of its vitality.
But now this last bit of vitality is about to be exhausted.
Throughout Root's base, countless ninja tools were waving in the air, killing wantonly.
One after another Root ninjas fell to the ground.
Except for a weirdo with a miserable complexion and Sharingan embedded all over his body.
Because he is the one who caused all this.
He called Xin. If someone with trypophobia saw him, they would most likely be disgusted. Not only was his whole body covered with Sharingan with eyeballs rolling around, but the Sharingan on his right eye was about to fall out.
When he was young, because of his special physique, he became Danzo's experimental subject. Danzo's arm filled with Sharingan was also removed from his body.
That's because his body can resist any foreign tissue, even Sharingan.
In order to maintain the activity of those Sharingan, Root's experimenters even transplanted all the remaining Sharingan into his body.
He still remembered the face of the researcher who conducted countless cruel and inhumane experiments on his body!
"Dang la ding la!"
The glass wall of the laboratory was shattered, and Xin's body was stained with the blood of Root ninja as he stepped into it.
"I didn't expect... you actually escaped from the trap."
A man in a white coat, with a mustache and half-long hair was sitting in his seat, looking at the letter calmly. He even held a test tube in his hand. Obviously, the noisy sound of the battle outside did not disturb his experiment.
"In fact, I had a way to escape a long time ago, but I was worried that I would be caught again if I escaped, so I didn't take action. It wasn't until the last time you conducted an experiment that I overheard the conversation between you and other people, and I didn't know that the guy Danzo was actually dead. So now..."
Xin chuckled and looked at the experimenter in front of him with cruel eyes.
Danzo's strength is still good. Of course, the most important thing is that Danzo was afraid that he would escape, so he specially dropped Cursed Seal on Thaksin. But now the Danzo who cast the spell is dead. Unless Danzo is resurrected, that Cursed Seal will never be activated again.
"I don't like your calm look now!"
Xin looked at the experimenter in front of him who still looked calm and calm and said.
What he wanted to see was the person who had tortured him in the past, with a fearful face and a look on his knees begging for mercy.
The experimenter also laughed.
"Want to talk? For example... join Akatsuki Organization with me, and then hunt those Uchiha? I can transplant more Sharingan into your body to make you stronger! By the way, you can call me Tanuki, Shigaraki Tanuki. In the past, the codename of Root was also Tanuki."
Tanuki's expression looked sincere.
"The prerequisite for negotiation is that you have enough power!"
Xin looked at Shigaraki Tanuki in front of him with some disdain.
As a researcher, the person in front of me may be very strong. The phenomenon observed through his Sharingan shows that the Chakra flowing in this person's body is probably not much less than the ordinary Jōnin, but compared to myself...
As for the Chakra flowing in this guy's body to prepare some ninjutsu, he didn't pay much attention to it.
The strength of ordinary ninjas is pitifully weak compared to myself who possesses Mangekyō Sharingan!
"Power? If it was before today, although I had this kind of thing, I didn't have much, but now..."
Tanuki quickly Hand Seals and slapped the ground with one hand.
"Summoning Technique·Nue!"
Then...
A cute little animal with a monkey face and a raccoon body appeared in front of them...
"Ahahaha!
!
The letter showed the Uchiha version of wild laughter.
"Is this... what you call power? Such a little thing, you actually..."
Xin directly grabbed Nue in front of him.
The raccoon twitched the corner of his mouth.
He knew this would be the result.
But now that Xin has directly touched Nue with his own body, it saves him a lot of effort.
