[Orochimaru ran away!]
other side.
Kabuto also received an urgent secret message from Otogakure.
Orochimaru didn't know about this so-called war. He had been guided by himself to conduct experiments with peace of mind, and he secretly arranged for people to keep an eye on him.
After all, as Grass Ninja, you've been here all this time... You can't just leave without figuring out all the bases, right?
I am going to find someone to catch the snake after I clean it out.
But I didn't expect that at this most critical moment, that guy would sneak away!
Have you discovered it a long time ago?
Or did you just discover it now?
Kabuto smiled helplessly, shook his head, and laughed at himself, "Konoha Sannin... No one can look down upon~"
The words fell.
A voice came from the side, "Kabuto boy, what's wrong? What happened? Konoha Sannin? Could it be that Konoha Sannin took action?"
"That's not the case! Lord Hanzō!" Kabuto came back to his senses and looked at Lord Hanzō who was not looking for Fourth Mizukage to [do] business with, but was walking towards him with a serious face, with a faint smile on his face, "It was just an accident! That Orochimaru ran away!"
"Orochimaru? That Konoha kid who I gave Konoha Sannin the title back then?" Lord Hanzō laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, you are still young, it is not shameful to lose to him! Those three people back then were indeed quite talented guys!"
"He is indeed a cunning guy!" Kabuto shrugged, sighed, and said with some regret, "It's just that our plan seems to be discovered!"
"Our plan? You mean..." Hearing Kabuto's words, Lord Hanzō was also startled, and then patted Kabuto on the shoulder nonchalantly, "If you find out, you find out, it's not a big deal! Those guys will lose anyway, at most, it's just a little more trouble!"
As he spoke, there was a hint of emotion on his face, and his eyes became slightly cloudy.
"To be honest... I always thought that it was too late for me to participate in this war. I was still worried in my heart. If I didn't have Half-God of the Ninja World here, how would your leader be able to resist Four Great Ninja Villages alone? I didn't expect... Hahaha."
He sighed and looked lightly in the direction of Land of Grass.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have me or not! I am getting old after all~"
The growth of the younger generation has surpassed him, even beyond everyone's imagination.
The Kusame Two Ninja Village is no longer the small Ninja Village that only he and Grass Ninja Leader were able to carry.
"It seems like it's really time for me and that Puppet Old Woman to retire!"
The words fell.
"..."
Kabuto was also slightly stunned, but after listening to Lord Hanzō's words, his heart gradually calmed down.
As the leader of Amegakure and Half-God of the Ninja World... Grass and Rain Countries, there are many stories about Lord Hanzō, and there are also stories about Lord Hanzō in the academy.
Lord Hanzō is an old senior in Grass and Rain Countries who is deeply respected by everyone!
When Second Great Ninja War, he dared to declare war on Five Great Ninja Villages; when Third Shinobi World War, he cooperated with Kusagakure to play with the entire Shinobi World.
Starting from a young age, I have been striving for Land of Rain all my life!
Life is full of legends!
Although he was just brought back as Third Shinobi World War, Kabuto knew in his heart that the celebrities in the academy were somewhat glorified, but he had to admit... Lord Hanzō was indeed an excellent leader!
"Indeed! It doesn't matter whether we discovered it or not now!" Kabuto smiled and nodded, "The victory of this war is destined to belong to us, but..." paused slightly, frowning slightly, "I also planned to see if I could capture all the four shadows. Now that the secret has been discovered, I don't know if Konoha will run away again like Land of Waves Production Base!"
As he spoke, he touched his chin and pondered for a moment.
"Lord Hanzō, it looks like we have to go back and directly lead the large troops to assist the front line and form an encirclement..."
The words are not finished yet.
It seemed like I felt something.
When he turned his head and looked at the empty space beside him, he blinked immediately.
[Where is Lord Hanzō?]
When he was stunned for a moment, he seemed to hear something, came back to his senses, and suddenly raised his head and looked forward.
Sure enough, I saw a jumping face in front of me. He no longer had the indifferent demeanor of the old senior before, and he shouted anxiously [Gather! gather! Everyone, gather together for me! Hurry and rush to the front line for me!].
"???"
Lord Hanzō Why did you suddenly become so anxious?
Didn't you just reassure him that he didn't have to worry, Four Great Ninja Villages was definitely losing?
Sure enough...
No matter how confident he is, Lord Hanzō is still quite cautious about war.
However.
Just when Kabuto was sighing with emotion and admiration.
At this time.
"We must not let my best friend escape this time!" Lord Hanzō patted his thigh anxiously and wailed, "Those are my brothers, my dearest relatives and friends!"
The words fell.
Kabuto:...
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
I suddenly understood something in my heart. There was something I didn't know whether to say or not.
Why Lord Hanzō are you worried about this?!
at the same time.
Seeing the word "Run" written in front of them, the smiles on Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi's faces froze.
Just two words immediately made the two of them tremble. Even though it was late spring, they still felt cold sweat all over their bodies, and their hands and feet were cold, as if there was something they didn't know whether to say or not.
"Grass!!!"
"What's wrong? Third Hokage~" At this time, he seemed to notice that Hokage and staff officer Danzo were a little strange. Third Tsuchikage floating in the air - Ōnoki asked in confusion, then looked at the note on the table, "Run quickly? What does this mean? Are you asking me to wait? Where are you running to?"
Originally, he was about to leave, but he ran into a dying snake for no reason, and spat out a note for no reason, with two words written on it for no reason.
Then.
Third Hokage and staff officer Danzo looked like they had seen a ghost!
Therefore, I thought something had happened, so I stayed for a while.
Wei Wei pondered, "Could it be the secret message from Konoha Ninja?"
"Let's just..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's face suddenly became uncertain, and then he seemed to have made some decision. He took a deep breath and said, "I guess this battle will be..."
However.
The words are not finished yet.
"I'm sure of winning this battle!" Danzo next to him interrupted him directly and said righteously, "Tsuchikage don't worry!"
"???"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was about to make an important decision, suddenly looked at Danzo in confusion.
What is this guy doing?
Why don't you tell the situation now?
only.
At this time, Danzo ignored him and said with a serious face, "This is a secret message from Kabuto. We need to go to support as soon as possible, so we are asked to hurry up! This battle has entered a critical period. Although there have been some changes, everything is under my control!"
"..."
How else can it be explained this way?
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo in shock.
Before he could say anything.
I saw Danzo turning his head and looking at Third Tsuchikage and Fourth Raikage who were frowning slightly, and then said, "At this time, we must persist. If we are defeated at this time..." His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed, "For Four Great Ninja Villages, this is a very heavy loss~"
"Then what happens next..."
"Still according to the original plan, Third Tsuchikage will go to support! As for our side..." Danzo paused slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said in a serious tone, "It's time to launch a full-scale attack!"
The words fell.
After confirming the plan, Third Tsuchikage and Fourth Raikage, who knew that time was tight, went down to arrange the troops.
Hiruzen Sarutobi only came back to his senses and lowered his voice and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
However.
In response to Hiruzen Sarutobi's inquiry, Danzo did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared ahead and said leisurely, "Either Four Great Ninja Villages will suffer heavy losses together, or they will suffer even greater losses. As Hokage... how do you choose?"
The words fell.
Hiruzen Sarutobi:...
Everyone fell silent.
Then he raised the pipe in his hand with his right hand tremblingly, blinked his wet eyes, and said with a hint of sadness and anger, "It's really... a crime!"
