Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Just when Ruohuo and Land of Waterfalls Daimyo signed the "mortgage contract".
The kind-hearted teacher Orochimaru and the hard-working elder Fugaku also embarked on an unknown journey.
They need to perform an S-level mission. The mission theme is divided into two parts. One part is to "evaluate" the attributes of elder Fugaku. The remaining part Orochimaru has not been informed yet, retaining some mystery.
The destination is Land of Rain.
Coincidentally, when the two set off, the 380 Uchiha army had just received the clan leader's order to go to Land of Wind.
The paths of both parties crossed.
Orochimaru and Fugaku met three Uchiha who were returning to Konoha to deliver a letter on the road.
Regarding the sudden appearance of elders Orochimaru and Fugaku, the three Uchiha showed extremely high vigilance.
It was not lifted immediately, but entered into a combat state.
"Password!"
"..." Fugaku's expression was a little complicated. He single-handedly promoted these three juniors to Konoha Military Police Force and taught them several Fire Styles.
But how long has it been since Ruohuo took office...
Well, it's not a bad thing if the clan members are so vigilant.
But what is the key password?
Although he is no longer the clan leader, he still handles all matters of the clan, so why does he know nothing about it?
Looking at Orochimaru again, Fugaku immediately became a little autistic again...
"Ninja World nuclear level!" Orochimaru raised his arms, "Return to the order!"
"Long live justice!"
The three Uchiha immediately lifted their alert status, sheathed their swords, flashed in front of Orochimaru and Fugaku, and said respectfully, "(Hokage) Special Assistant, Elder."
"..." Fugaku fell silent.
Children, you suddenly become so strange.
"Did something go wrong up front?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.
"Not really." The leader of the Uchiha team shook his head and said, "The captain ordered the troops to set off first and rush to the front line of the Kingdom of Wind before dark. Our team's task is to try to rush back to Konoha after dawn tomorrow to report the captain's order."
Back and forth, it's a whole night's delay.
Orochimaru After a little calculation, he roughly understood the intention of Ruohuo.
"So Mr. Ruohuo's goals are One-Tail and Daimyo of the Land of Wind..."
Orochimaru murmured, just loud enough for Fugaku to hear.
Fugaku's reaction this time was quite dull. Capture One-Tail? Haha...Four-Tails and Five-Tails were both captured by Ruohuo. It's no big deal.
Daimyo of the Land of Wind? Haha... This guy doesn't even take Daimyo of the Land of Fire seriously!
Fugaku looked at the three Uchiha and directly called out the squad leader's name, "Tekka, where is the patriarch now? Is he still Capital of Fire?"
"I'm sorry, Elder Fugaku." Uchiha Tekka lowered his head, "The whereabouts of the captain are top secret. I have not been authorized to tell you and the special assistant..."
"..." Fugaku's face darkened.
On the contrary, it was Orochimaru, the smile on his face did not diminish, "It doesn't matter, I still give priority to Mr. Ruohuo's order. Elder Fugaku and I will try to avoid your route. You have not met me and Elder Fugaku today, is that okay?"
"Understood!" Uchiha Tekka nodded, bowed to the two of them, and then made a gesture, and the three of them disappeared immediately.
After the three Uchiha left, Orochimaru looked at Fugaku with a smile.
"It seems that child has a high reputation in Uchiha, Mr. Fugaku... you should be able to rest assured now."
"Stop comforting me, Mr. Orochimaru." Fugaku smiled bitterly and shook his head, "To be honest, after learning that this kid did something like that, I'm still a little on tenterhooks..."
"You need to adjust your mentality, Mr. Fugaku."
Orochimaru smiled calmly, memories of the past flashed through his eyes, he chuckled, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Ruohuo-kun is growing up very fast."
"Compared to before, this child is much more mature now..."
"..." Fugaku did not respond.
At this moment, Fugaku still didn't understand the implication of Orochimaru's words, but he did feel that he had to re-examine the current situation.
Ruohuo held Daimyo hostage, and then notified Orochimaru to help cover up the matter.
The key Orochimaru is really here!
Right now, Orochimaru is still carrying a document signed by Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
All you need to do is fill in the content, which is a command from Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
However, Orochimaru was not in a hurry to write down his order to succeed Hokage, which also made Fugaku a little unclear about Orochimaru's purpose.
According to Ruohuo, he intends to support Orochimaru to become Fourth Hokage.
Fugaku originally thought this was a cooperation, just like what he had thought before - Uchiha supported Orochimaru to become the fourth generation Orochimaru and then supported Uchiha.
But now it seems that the "cooperation" between Orochimaru and Ruohuo is obviously not as simple as he imagined...
"It's almost time, Mr. Fugaku."
Less than ten minutes later, Orochimaru counted the time and embarked on the journey to Land of Rain with Fugaku again.
Land of Rain is next to Land of Fire, and the territory is also bordered by Land of Earth and Land of Wind.
The unique geographical location caused this place to become a battlefield for Three Great Shinobi Villages.
Until the appearance of Hanzo.
After Second Shinobi World War, the power of the demigod Hanzo, the leader of Land of Rain, resounded through Ninja World, using his own power to frighten Three Great Shinobi Villages, and freed Land of Rain from the quagmire of war in the way of war.
Hanzo is a worthy hero to Land of Rain.
But this still doesn't change that Land of Rain is the place that Three Great Shinobi Villages is striving for.
If any Ninja Village wants to attack two other Ninja Villages, even if it just borrows the territory of Land of Rain, it can achieve considerable strategic effects.
If any ninja village can be the first to reach an alliance with Land of Rain.
Then Land of Rain will not only be a natural barrier, but also an excellent location to launch a surprise attack.
"We will have a special negotiation at Land of Rain, Mr. Fugaku."
As Land of Rain approaches, Orochimaru finally reveals part of the mystery of this S-class mission.
"But what I have to say is... the content of the negotiation is not really important. What is important is the person who initiated the negotiation."
Orochimaru's tone was rare and serious, "This is related to Konoha High Command taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Ruohuo is still on the battlefield to initiate an attribute evaluation for you and Uchiha Clan."
"At the same time, Mr. Fugaku can also take this opportunity to evaluate Konoha High Command's true attitude towards Uchiha..."
"At that time, Mr. Fugaku may need to make some choices. These choices may be very difficult, and the only advice I can give Mr. Fugaku is..."
Orochimaru finally had a smile on his face again.
"Think about what Mr. Ruohuo would do."
