"Chiyo, fight or surrender?"
Land of Rain territory, Sunagakure Ninja camp.
Mingyue Takenaka shouted loudly, staring at Chiyo sharply.
At the same time, her hand has been holding on the handle of Famous Sword Shusui. As long as Chiyo talks about war, the next second she will lead people to eliminate all Ninja here at Sunagakure.
Although there are almost 2,000 people here, for Mingyue Takenaka, she is determined to do this.
On the opposite side, Chiyo naturally saw Mingyue Takenaka's small movements, and then she looked at Hanzo of the Salamander next to Mingyue Takenaka, with a flash of hatred in her deep eyes.
After a moment of silence, Chiyo finally sighed and threw Kunai in her hand to the ground, indicating her surrender!
"Hanzo of the Salamander, you Land of Rain win this time!"
"Hahaha, old lady Chiyo, I hope you can continue to fight, but it's a pity that you don't have the courage!" Hanzo of the Salamander laughed loudly, with a look of pride on his face.
This battle lasted for two years, and most of Land of Rain's land was reduced to ruins. The fight would definitely not be possible, but this did not stop him from being unforgiving.
Soon, those Ninja behind Chiyo who had not yet surrendered, although they were unwilling to do so, finally dropped their weapons and surrendered.
One day later, Land of Rain Konohagakure camp.
Tsunade Fourth Hokage sat on the main seat and looked at the talkers sent here by Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Konoha. She sighed and said in a deep voice Said: "Everyone, I have a message for you. Since Uzushiogakure joined the battlefield, he not only surrounded Sunagakure Ninja with lightning speed, but also directly forced Sunagakure to surrender.
Originally, on the Land of Rain battlefield, there were three forces: Konoha, Sunagakure and Amegakure. We all fought on our own and each had his own victory or defeat. This formed a delicate balance.
But now, Uzushiogakure has joined the battlefield, Sunagakure has surrendered, and only our Konoha and Amegakure forces are left.
Therefore, if we continue to fight, we will definitely face a truly powerful opponent-Uzushiogakure."
Having said this, looking at the surprise on everyone's faces, it was obvious that they were also surprised by the news of Uzushiogakure's participation in the war.
Tsunade is not surprised by this!
After all, Uzushiogakure has always had a nonchalant attitude, not caring about how the war will turn out!
Now, Uzushiogakure suddenly joins the war, and Mingyue Takenaka, the contemporary leader of Uzushiogakure, personally leads the team into battle.
A dozen Kage Level powerful people, this force suddenly broke the balance, and no force could compete with it.
Seeing everyone frowning and saying nothing, Tsunade continued, "The strength of our Konoha in Land of Rain is not enough to compete with Uzushiogakure, so I decided to withdraw our troops!"
"I agree!
More than a dozen Kage Level strong men are participating in the battle. Even if the fight continues, we are no match.
However, the most troublesome thing now is that we don't want to fight. Will Amegakure cease the war?
After Land of Rain has solved the threat of Sunagakure and is supported by the powerful force of Uzushiogakure, will Hanzo of the Salamander let us go?" Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded.
Next to him, Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, and then nodded without hesitation. "Orochimaru is right, the current situation is not for us Konoha to decide whether to fight, the initiative is in the hands of Hanzo of the Salamander.
Since Tsunade you have decided to withdraw your troops, what we have to do now is to send people immediately for peace talks.
If the delay continues, war between the two sides will be inevitable!"
"Let's negotiate, Lord Hokage."
"I agree to peace talks!"
"..."
Without any hesitation, everyone present agreed.
Seeing this, Tsunade nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, let's negotiate.
Jiraiya, I will leave the peace talks to you with full authority. As long as the conditions proposed by Hanzo of the Salamander are not excessive, you can agree to them.
Of course, if Hanzo of the Salamander is too much, you don't have to worry and go directly to Mingyue Takenaka.
The power she brought this time can definitely deal with us Konoha and Sunagakure at the same time, but she only targeted Sunagakure at the beginning. It can be seen that in her heart, she still misses some of the affection between us Konoha and Uzushiogakure.
Or it can be said that she has no intention of helping Amegakure start a war with us Konoha.
In this case, if that guy Hanzo of the Salamander makes excessive demands, I don't think Mingyue Takenaka will just ignore it."
"I know, Tsunade, don't worry, I will definitely succeed in the peace talks." Jiraiya nodded immediately after listening.
After saying that, Jiraiya left first and went down to prepare for the peace talks, while Tsunade also let the others go down to rest, leaving only Orochimaru alone.
Not long after, only Tsunade and Orochimaru were left in the camp.
Before Tsunade could speak, Orochimaru looked at the worry on Tsunade's face and said with a smile, "Tsunade, your worries are completely unnecessary."
"You know what I'm going to say?" Tsunade asked.
"Hehehe, we have been teammates for so many years, how can I still not know what you think?
However, you can rest assured. Teacher Sarutobi and I have gone through what happened before and came here to help in disguise. Uzushiogakure should have known about it a long time ago.
You are worried that Uzushiogakure will take this opportunity to continue to provoke a war. Such worries are completely unnecessary." Orochimaru said with a smile.
"Tell me your reasons, Orochimaru." Tsunade nodded and asked Orochimaru to continue.
"It's very simple. The siege on Uzushiogakure has been going on for so long, and Uzushiogakure has also released a lot of hatred in his heart through a series of revenge actions.
The fact that Teacher Sarutobi and I returned to the battlefield to help Konoha could not be hidden from Uzushiogakure's intelligence system.
But Uzushiogakure has not come to hold us accountable for so long, which shows that they don't care about me and Teacher Sarutobi at all.
After all, the strength of Taketori Lord Takenaka is even greater than that of Lord First Hokage. With his moving speed, if he really took this matter to heart, Teacher Sarutobi and I would have been dead a long time ago."
Speaking of this, Orochimaru smiled confidently. He had studied Takenaka Kaguya in depth, so he also had a little understanding of Takenaka Kaguya's temperament.
Before Tsunade could speak, Orochimaru continued, "Of course, the premise of all this is that Teacher Sarutobi and I don't appear before Lord Takenaka, otherwise he wouldn't mind getting rid of me and Teacher Sarutobi.
So, Tsunade, it's time for me to leave."
"Orochimaru, you want to leave? Didn't you say that as long as you don't appear in front of Lord Takenaka? Why are you leaving?" Tsunade asked in surprise.
"Haha, not only do I have to leave, but also, after we leave, Konoha will not withdraw the reward order issued against us.
Taketori Lord Takenaka knows it, but we have to show it, at least you have to make Taketori Lord Takenaka look good on the surface.
Also, I arranged a spy inside Amegakure, and he told me that if Amegakure and Sunagakure sign an armistice agreement, Taketori Lord Takenaka will most likely come to witness it in person.
Therefore, the next thing can only be left to you and Jiraiya." Orochimaru chuckled and explained to Tsunade.
"I understand the problem between you and Teacher Sarutobi. I will look for opportunities to intercede with Lord Takenaka.
Since he doesn't care about you, I think he won't make things difficult for me." Tsunade nodded.
"No need, Land of Rain After the war here is over, the manpower here can quickly support other battlefields. I think it won't be long before the war will be completely over.
And you are now Fourth Hokage. With Jiraiya assisting you, plus other people, it is enough to stabilize Konoha.
And it's time for me to pursue my ideals."
When Orochimaru said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then continued, "Human life is too fragile, even if you are as strong as First Hokage, you still can't escape death.
My lifelong pursuit is to pursue the length of life, and I just take this opportunity to do my own thing."
After the words fell, Tsunade looked at Orochimaru with a complicated expression. She knew the thoughts Orochimaru said.
However, the war had just ended and he was about to leave. Tsunade felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Come back to Konoha often in the future. Although the reward order will not be withdrawn, I will inform Konoha internally so that no one from Konoha will be your enemy in the future." Tsunade nodded and said, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"Haha, okay.
By the way, Tsunade, let me give you a reminder. If Teacher Sarutobi returns to Konoha after the war, you must be careful about him.
A few years ago, I discovered that someone was secretly interacting with Teacher Sarutobi, but that person seemed to possess a very powerful escape technique and also had very powerful investigative capabilities, so I didn't know who the person was secretly interacting with Teacher Sarutobi.
However, later, Teacher Sarutobi and Danzo secretly planned to besiege Uzushiogakure in various hidden villages. I think this matter had a lot to do with the people Teacher Sarutobi secretly interacted with.
Today, Uzushiogakure is so powerful that even the Five Great Shinobi Villages alliance may not be Uzushiogakure's opponent.
If you don't want Konoha to fall into crisis again, the best way is to be cruel and either imprison Teacher Sarutobi directly or drive him out of Konoha, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" Orochimaru reminded again.
"What? Such a thing actually happened?" Tsunade was very surprised. After so long, she actually knew nothing about this matter.
"Well, anyway, just be careful." Orochimaru nodded.
"Then why didn't you tell me before?" Tsunade asked.
"It's useless to say it. The people who secretly associate with Teacher Sarutobi may not be very strong, but their escape skills and investigation abilities are likely to be the best among all Shinobi World.
If you can't find anyone, what's the use of telling you?
It's a pity that I pretended to promise Teacher Sarutobi and Danzo to cooperate with their actions against Uzushiogakure, but I still couldn't find any trace of that person.
Okay, let's stop talking here and see you again when you have the chance!"
After Orochimaru finished speaking, his body gradually submerged into the earth and quickly disappeared.
After Orochimaru left, Tsunade looked a little unhappy. She didn't expect that two years ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō instigated various hidden villages to besiege Uzushiogakure, and there was such a secret.
"Teacher Sarutobi, what are you thinking?" Tsunade murmured to himself, looking up at the cloudy sky, his mood obviously a little heavy.
Let's talk about Orochimaru, who just emerged from the earth, suddenly his face darkened and he broke into a cold sweat, because not far in front of him, the tall figure of Takenaka Kaguya stood impressively.
Orochimaru's pupils shrank and he was about to escape immediately, when he heard Takenaka Kaguya standing in front say with a smile, "Orochimaru, do you think you can escape my pursuit when we are so close to each other?"
While talking, Takenaka Kaguya stepped on his feet, and instantly, Orochimaru saw a formation that sealed the space, covering the surrounding area.
Seeing this scene, Orochimaru's heart was beating wildly, but he didn't feel the killing intent emanating from Takenaka Kaguya, so he quickly calmed down.
"I've seen Lord Takenaka. I didn't expect you to come so quickly and locate my position so accurately." Orochimaru bowed respectfully to Takenaka Kaguya.
"Well, I haven't seen you for two years. Your strength has not increased much, but your concentration has increased a lot. I am impressed that you can calm down so quickly." Takenaka Kaguya said calmly with a smile.
"Thank you for your compliment. I'm afraid no one can remain calm in front of you.
However, since you are here, you did not take action immediately, which means you are not here to kill me, right?" Orochimaru said cautiously.
"Haha, whether I want to kill you or not depends on your next choice.
Orochimaru, our Uzushiogakure is currently lacking a director of the research department, would you like to join us Uzushiogakure?" Takenaka Kaguya chuckled and immediately sent out an invitation.
"If you don't agree, will you kill me?" Orochimaru clenched his fists, showing some uneasiness.
"If you don't agree, it means you are useless. So killing a waste is not too troublesome for me." Takenaka Kaguya said with a flash of killing intent in his eyes, looking at Orochimaru calmly.
"Okay, I agreed.
However, I have always wanted to know, as God of Shinobi, how strong you really are, and I wonder if Lord Takenaka you are willing to fulfill my wish?" Orochimaru quickly agreed and stared at Takenaka Kaguya with a burning gaze.
"Haha, to satisfy you, go ahead and use your most powerful attack. As long as you can make me move half a step, I will give you a gift." Takenaka Kaguya chuckled, his face full of confidence.
"Mandara no Jin!"
Orochimaru was not verbose, and quickly Hand Seals his hands. In an instant, a large number of snakes were spit out from his mouth, and they continued to attack Takenaka Kaguya.
At this moment, Takenaka Kaguya looked extremely calm as he watched the dense swarms of snakes coming towards him. The overwhelming swarms of snakes were coming at extremely fast speeds and kept biting them.
Seeing this, Orochimaru's eyes were a little excited, because among the snakes he summoned, there were many highly venomous snakes. As long as they were bitten, God of Shinobi would be instantly paralyzed and unable to move.
"Ice·Ice Age!"
