Judging from the idea of "challenging Ōnoki" before his seventh birthday...
Ruohuo is indeed a bit drifting.
This is not a question of whether Obito, Shisui, or even Grandmother should open their eyes.
And in front of Ōnoki, the option of single-handedly does not exist.
This was the founder of the Iwagakure violent soldier style. In the future, he also personally led the tragic incident in which Third Raikage was beaten by a group of ten thousand Iwagakure.
That's ten thousand Iwagakure Ninja...
And there were ten thousand ninjas at the end of the war!
Ten thousand people beat one person.
A strong man like Third Raikage, who could forcefully challenge Eight-Tails in a duel, but died of exhaustion in the end...
It can be said that once this person appears on the battlefield, there must be at least four figures of Iwagakure Ninja standing behind him.
Just now Four-Tails Jinchuriki Zi's pomp was already quite impressive.
There were densely packed Iwagakure Ninja, plus Sealing Squad, and the ninjas who came after them.
Ruohuo Although there is no specific calculation, it is conservatively estimated that there will be about 2,000 people.
Obviously, this is still at least five digits short of Iwagakure's true military strength.
So it is impossible to fight one on one.
It's not that Ruohuo doesn't give Ōnoki a chance, it's that Ōnoki, Tsuchikage, has the attribute of group fighting.
However.
As a noble Uchiha.
Retreating and escaping are not options for Ruohuo.
Uchiha Clan Not all are reckless.
But he can't be a coward!
Besides, it's not like he has no chance at all...
"The value of Third Tsuchikage cannot be measured in money, Mr. Ruohuo."
"He is one of the few ultra-high-value targets in the world, and in this regard, he may be only slightly inferior to Lord Hokage."
Orochimaru also looked to the sky. He did not have Mind's Eye of the Kagura, but he had an instinctive perception of high-risk situations.
High risk situation in that direction...
Also, the commotion was so loud that the teacher almost went to the front line himself.
Is it reasonable for that person to step into the battlefield personally?
It seems that Ruohuo is destined to be unable to exchange these prisoners of war for bounties...
Orochimaru withdrew his gaze, looked at Ruohuo, and asked, "Ruohuo, you should know that your own value is directly proportional to your own strength, right?"
To be on the safe side, it's better to test Ruohuo's attitude first.
"Of course."
Ruohuo nodded, "The shadow of each village represents the highest combat power of the ninja village, and is the strongest ninja in the village."
"Third Tsuchikage is the Hokage in the minds of Iwagakure Ninjas. It should be very strong."
Poof--
As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Clone No. 4 appeared - the previous Shadow Clone No. 1 No. 2 and No. 5, in order to ensure the ownership of the war achievements, they squandered chakra at any cost under the logo of Uchiha. Now they have stopped paying in arrears.
Shadow Clone sequence automatically moves up.
"I'm going to borrow some chakra from Kushina." Shadow Clone No. 4 didn't stop, Hand Seals called Fire Dragon and went straight to Kushina.
Orochimaru watched Shadow Clone No. 4 go away, frowning slightly, feeling bad.
Borrow chakra...
Could this child...
No.
"Third Tsuchikage and Lord Hokage are ninjas of the same era. The Dust Release he masters has extremely high destructive power. Even Lord Hokage finds it a bit tricky."
Orochimaru tried to popularize some very useful "common sense" for Ruohuo.
This common sense can at least save this child's life... As a teacher, he can't just stand around all the time. This is also the purpose of following Ruohuo.
"Is this so..."
Ruohuo nodded again, his expression a little solemn, as if he listened.
It doesn't seem like there is.
"Then you can't be careless..."
Ruohuo patted Kokuō's horns and said, "Kokuō, take a rest quickly. Our next battle will be extremely difficult. The opponent is a troublesome existence that even Grandpa Hokage finds difficult."
"We only have one chance, so we must not be careless!"
Phew--
Five-Tails sprayed steam from his nostrils as a response.
"..."
Orochimaru The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.
Sure enough, the option of retreat was not in this child's dictionary.
Only one chance...
Seriously?
Orochimaru pursed his lips and began to hesitate.
Although I have learned to see the world through Ruohuo's eyes, I do feel unprecedented clarity from a new perspective.
This kid definitely has the potential to change Ninja World.
Orochimaru firmly believes in this.
Even, this child's unique Will of Fire is already affecting the pattern of Ninja World...
Four-Tails Jinchuriki was effortlessly defeated by Kushina. Iwagakure lost two Tailed Beast in just two days.
This was a huge blow to them.
But the premise is...
Ruohuo can be safe and bring Four-Tails and Five-Tails back to Konoha.
Instead of waiting here for the arrival of Third Tsuchikage, go looking for something... the only opportunity.
Can Ruohuo find a chance to defeat Third Tsuchikage?
Orochimaru thinks: Yes.
Ruohuo thinks there is, then this opportunity will definitely exist!
But Orochimaru doesn't want to witness the birth of this opportunity at this time...
It's very simple. If you give Ruohuo a certain amount of room for growth, the probability of success in this opportunity will naturally increase infinitely.
So, it can't be now.
At least, not now.
Orochimaru smiled slightly, he was not going to persuade Ruohuo to retreat...
As a teacher, sometimes you need to point out the path for your students and let them follow this path first, and then find reasons along the way.
It seems.
It's time to give this kid a break.
Jiraiya That guy often had similar situations when he was young, and what the teacher did...
Ha.
Looks like I'm going to be a bad guy for once.
But suddenly this time.
"Teacher..."
Ruohuo looked serious, Three Tomoe stared at Orochimaru, and said faintly, "Why do I feel that your Will of Fire is a little weaker."
"Did the fear in these Iwagakure Ninja... infect you?"
Ruohuo discovered it a long time ago.
When Four-Tails Jinchuriki Zi led a group of Iwagakure to launch an encirclement, Orochimaru had been trying to trick him into retreating quickly.
Now that Ōnoki is here, Orochimaru obviously doesn't want to be tough.
But that is Dust Release...
Kekkei Tōta, which is the fusion of wind + earth + fire...
What form will it take under the buff of Little Fire God?
Ruohuo doesn't know, but he will definitely not miss this opportunity.
So how do you convince Orochimaru not to run away yet?
There are so many prisoners here, and there is Four-Tails Jinchuriki, so there is no need to run away!
"Fear is a manifestation of weak willpower and Will of Fire is not firm enough."
Orochimaru shook his head gently and said calmly:
"But what the teacher has to do has nothing to do with fear. The main thing is to agree to Mr. Ruohuo's Grandmother and to ensure Mr. Ruohuo's rest time, so..."
Orochimaru raised two fingers and said with a smile, "Ruohuo, you don't want the teacher to break his promise, right?"
"..."
Ruohuo gave a silent thumbs up.
"I really belong to you, teacher."
