A few days later.
A complete piece of information was placed in front of Orochimaru, and he had been looking at it for a long time.
This document records in detail a joint mission between Root Organization and Amegakure of Konoha. The mission was to annihilate a resistance organization called "Akatsuki" within Land of Rain. Although this document does not contain very identifiable things such as photos, it at least records the name of the leader of this so-called "Akatsuki" organization...Yahiko.
After all, the "Akatsuki" did not maintain top secrets in the initial stage, and they even regarded themselves as ninjas of Amegakure. Most of the people who joined the "Akatsuki" organization were very young ninjas, and their goal at the time was to achieve peace and stability in Amegakure, the Land of the Fourth War. Based on this purpose, "Akatsuki" activities were relatively frequent, and there was not much contact with the outside world, and intelligence within the organization would also be leaked.
They even maintained contact with Amegakure, the official armed force of Land of Rain, until their naive idealism was betrayed by the incomparable reality - the rapid expansion and accumulated power of "Akatsuki" had seriously threatened the rule of Amegakure leader Hanzo of the Salamander, so Hanzō decided to kill them.
According to the intelligence now obtained by Orochimaru, the mission was finally successful. Root Organization and Amegakure eliminated the leader of "Akatsuki", but both sides also suffered a lot of casualties.
After this mission, the "Akatsuki" organization disappeared.
"Disappeared? Haha." Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh after coming back to his senses.
He basically confirmed the connection between the current Akatsuki and the original Akatsuki, so he scoffed at the so-called success of the mission. On the contrary, since the core members of Akatsuki are now entrenched in Amegakure, it means that Amegakure, the ninja known as the "demigod" no longer exists.
The reason is very simple. How can a "demigod" defeat a real "god"?
In short, with the help of this information, the scattered memories in his mind were finally connected.
"Jiraiya, is it because of this that you stayed at Land of Rain?"
Orochimaru's whispers continued to echo in the dark underground space. Only now did he understand what Jiraiya had done back then. Orochimaru knew it well. Jiraiya has been looking for the so-called "Child of Prophecy", so it is possible that Jiraiya discovered the owner of Rinnegan more than ten years ago.
Then, Orochimaru remembered that at a certain period Jiraiya was immersed in sadness, and the reason was the death of those disciples... Combined with Root Organization's mission report, everything was connected in series.
Orochimaru felt a little regretful. If he could have discovered the pair of Rinnegan at that time, wouldn't things have been much simpler? Of course, he only felt a little regretful. Since he missed it, he missed it, and it would be useless to think about those things now.
So what is the use of having this information? On the surface, it is of no use. After all, these things do not hinder the strength of the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization. Even if he knows these things, Orochimaru will not be his opponent.
However, after mastering these, Orochimaru has at least established corresponding psychological advantages. The figure who once seemed very mysterious has become less mysterious... The guy who calls himself "god" is, after all, just a member of the mortal world.
Orochimaru Not only had he seen the "god" in such a miserable state, he even had the ability to crush the "god" to death with two fingers.
"Hehe, hehehe..."
The hoarse laughter kept ringing.
However, the problem is that most of the time, specious information will only interfere with a person's judgment. At this time, Orochimaru seems to know the core secrets of "Akatsuki", but this is only a "appearance".
Objectively speaking, anyone who makes any attempt on "Akatsuki" without knowing the truth about Six Paths of Pain is almost seeking death.
On Konoha's side, even Yuhara, who "seems to be omniscient but not very omnipotent," cannot possibly know that Orochimaru used his excellent memory and intelligence retrieval capabilities to detect the origins of Yahiko, Konan and others.
If Yuhara knows this, then he... well, he will definitely admire Orochimaru for a moment, and then pretend that nothing happened. As far as Orochimaru is now, whether he wants to disrupt the situation or not, he will definitely start to disrupt it sooner or later.
After completing the joint mission with Sunagakure, Yuhara rarely felt a sense of peace because Konoha was fine inside and outside. If nothing else goes wrong, this relatively peaceful environment is likely to last for more than ten years.
But if you think about it, you will know that this sense of peace must be an illusion, or that everything is relative... No matter at any time, jounin will always have to live in a tense environment full of the smell of blood.
If jounin has nothing to do, then find something for them, otherwise who knows what they will do. Many ninjas who become rebellious ninjas are partly because of post-war syndrome, and partly because they are too idle and always think wildly.
It is unrealistic to solve everyone's mental health problems. In this case, it is better to let them continue to live on the original trajectory.
After Yuhara returned to Konoha, he stayed in the hospital for a few days as usual to treat his injuries. Then, after he fully recovered, he returned to his home to rest in the name of recuperation... As a standard office worker, he naturally had to make full use of his work-related injuries.
He stayed at home for the next few days, eating, drinking and sleeping, letting go of the fatigue accumulated during the mission.
Put aside things like backstabbing, power disputes, conspiracies to subvert the world, etc. This is how people are, and they have to be lazy when they should be lazy.
That evening, Yuhara sat sleepily by the window of his bedroom, looking at the brightly lit town of Konoha behind the high wall with some trance. He looked a little decadent.
He looked sleepy not because Yuhara was ready to sleep, but because he had just woken up. A person who is relaxed and stays at home, even if he is a ninja, will inevitably have his day and night reversed accidentally.
Feeling that his throat was a little dry and itchy, Yuhara coughed twice, then picked up a glass of warm water and poured it into his mouth. At this moment, the sound of stepping on the stairs reached his ears.
An uninvited guest coming at this time will not bring any good news no matter how you think about it.
Yuhara blinked hard, and then said, "Don't tell me there are any urgent tasks."
"It's not an emergency mission," the person's voice paused, and then continued, "I should say it's worse than an emergency mission."
Turning the corner of the stairs, the visitor showed a helpless face. Obviously, something had shocked Tenzo's young mind.
"It's funny, is there anything worse than various emergency tasks in Konoha... Well, assuming Uchiha Clan is excluded." Yuhara said with a smile.
Hey, it seems like something is dark?
Because of the arrival of Tenzo, Yuhara still managed to cheer up.
He took the scroll handed over by Tenzo and said, "Is it really related to Uchiha?"
Tenzo shook his head, "It has nothing to do with Uchiha."
Yuhara took the scroll and placed it on the table. From the attitude Tenzo showed now, Yuhara already knew that this was not an urgent matter, but a sad matter.
"Let me explain briefly, Tenzo."
"To put it simply, Konoha is planning to hold a personal competition event. The purpose is said to be to maintain the combat effectiveness of ninjas in this post-war era... Oh, to be more precise, it is to maintain the combat effectiveness of Jonin." Tenzo said.
"Jounin? Is it similar to the ninja exam?" Yuhara was obviously stunned. He had not expected that there would be such an activity.
"If I have to say it, it should be more similar to ordinary people's ring fighting, except that the participants are limited to jounin." Tenzo gave further explanation. It's no wonder that he showed a helpless expression before.
In the eyes of most people, this kind of activity is definitely meaningless. Is a battle without the threat of life and death considered a battle? You must know that even Chunin Ninja Exams will kill people, but Konoha cannot let his high-end combat power be consumed in such a messy activity.
Yuhara After thinking about it for a while, he understood the specific nature of this activity - jounin team building, it really doesn't make any sense.
So he asked two crucial questions, "First of all, a crucial question, shouldn't jonins be allowed to sign up for this event on their own?"
Tenzo shook his head decisively, "It must be the list and participants specified above."
The reason is very simple. If you sign up independently, no idle ninja will participate. You must know that they are usually busy, wouldn't it be nice to have this time to take a good rest?
"Then can I not be included in this list of participants?"
"Can't."
"..."
Nonsense, otherwise why would Tenzo come to inform him Yuhara? Yuhara's question was just a trace of fantasy.
"At least you are very famous and representative among jounin. After all, you have a Konoha Guardian Medal and Senju of the Forest medal." Tenzo explained in detail what Mu Xiu Yulin is.
"Second question, could it be that Third Hokage brought up this unobtrusive activity? This is not his style either." Yuhara asked again.
Tenzo looked at Yuhara with a little sympathy in his eyes. He did not answer the question, but asked calmly, "Who do you think in the village can put forward such a suggestion and then get it passed?"
These two qualifications are not specific, but if you add that ninjas like Yuhara are forced to participate, then the answer will be obvious.
"Could it be..."
"Well, it's this 'could it be'."
The person who can do this kind of thing can basically be determined to be Yuhara's immediate boss...
Kushina Uzumaki.
People can't lack vitality, as that will make them look decadent, and they can't be too energetic, otherwise it will easily make people wonder if they have mental problems.
