At the same time, Konoha defense line.
Orochimaru had just forced Fourth Raikage back, and the two were facing each other hundreds of meters apart.
At this moment, Shadow Clone of Uchiha Jun rushed to Orochimaru and whispered his plans and actions.
Orochimaru After listening, an extremely subtle light flashed in those golden snake eyes.
He raised his head and looked at Fourth Raikage A opposite, with a hint of unexplainable meaning in his tone:
"Raikage, I suggest you go back to the village now."
"Your village... seems to have something wrong."
Fourth Raikage A was stunned when he heard this, and just as he was about to ask something, another Cloud Ninja messenger had already rushed to his side and shouted with a trembling voice:
"Lord Raikage! No... it's not good! Eight-Tails... Eight-Tails ran rampant in the village!!"
" Lord Blue B's body... was found lying in the valley on the west side!"
"The village... the village has been almost destroyed by Eight-Tails!"
Fourth Raikage A's face turned pale in an instant.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Orochimaru, and then at the young figure behind Orochimaru who was walking slowly from behind - Uchiha Jun.
He understood instantly.
"You--"
His voice was hoarse and trembling, and the finger pointing at Uchiha Jun was trembling slightly, "What did you do to Blue B?!"
Uchiha Jun walked up to Orochimaru, folded his arms, and had a harmless smile on his face.
"Are you Tang B? Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, you have been killed by me!"
"As for Eight-Tails..."
He shrugged, "I sent an 'express' to the entrance of your village. As for whether it is now integrated with you Kumogakure, that's none of my business."
"This is it - delivered to your door. Remember to give it a good review."
Fourth Raikage A's chest rose and fell violently several times, and a violent Lightning Style chakra burst out from his body, blasting a large crater several meters in diameter on the ground beneath his feet!
But in the end, he still forcibly suppressed the murderous intention.
Because the messenger ninja added another sentence--
"Lord Raikage! Yugito... has been captured by the enemy!"
"Two-Tails is gone too!"
Fourth Raikage A's body suddenly shook, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then, he opened his eyes.
There was no anger in those eyes, only cold determination remained.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
He raised his arms and his voice spread throughout the battlefield like thunder, "Give up the offensive sequence and retreat! Go back to the village!!"
"Yes!"
The Kumo ninja troops retreated like a tide.
No. Fourth Raikage A took one last look at Uchiha Jun.
Then, he turned around and disappeared from the other end of the battle line without looking back.
Yugito was tied to a wooden stake in the Konoha position COS Jesus. Looking at the retreating figures of the Cloud Ninjas, an extremely complex emotion flashed through those feline eyes.
"...am I given up?"
Her voice was very soft, as soft as a sigh.
Uchiha Jun walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently.
"Don't be sad."
He paused, with a playful smile in his voice, "Follow me from now on, and I guarantee you will do better than you did at Kumogakure."
Yugito was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said nothing.
Orochimaru walked up to Uchiha Jun and looked at Yugito, a hint of surprise flashed in those golden snake eyes.
"Jun Jun, you actually captured a Perfect Jinchuriki alive?"
He was amazed, "Moreover... such a young Jinchuriki has achieved perfect control over Tailed Beasts. This is an extremely rare talent among Shinobi World."
"It's just good luck." Uchiha Jun gently led him over. He looked at Orochimaru and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Brother Orochimaru, is my 'certificate of nomination'... enough?"
Orochimaru heard this, looked at Uchiha Jun, and laughed softly after a while. The laughter was very light, but it contained a hint of relief.
"Enough."
He paused, with a hint of seriousness in his voice that even he himself was not aware of, "From today on, this job will be handed over to you."
"Can you take the position of commander-in-chief?"
"Of course, I'm never afraid of challenges!"
Uchiha Jun is decisive.
The night is getting darker.
The campfire on the Konoha defense line was swaying gently in the wind, but in the Uchiha Clan camp, it was boiling at the moment.
"Have you heard? Master Chun killed one Perfect Jinchuriki by himself and captured another alive!"
"Nonsense! Everyone on the entire front knows! Blue B--that was Eight-Tails Jinchuriki! Kumogakure's second-in-command! He was killed by Jun-sama alone!"
"And I heard that Jun-sama used some kind of giant ninjutsu to summon an eight-headed snake, which directly knocked down two Jinchuriki!"
"Yamata no Orochi! That's the legendary forbidden technique!"
Among the crowd, a Uchiha Clan Chunin with a shaved head and a scar on his face jumped directly onto a huge rock in the center of the camp and shouted loudly:
"Brothers! All eyes are on me! Look at me, look at me!! Our Lord Chun has made great military achievements! What do you think--"
He patted his chest hard, "When should I become the commander-in-chief?!"
There was silence in the crowd for a moment.
Then, almost in unison, hundreds of the Uchiha Clan people shouted in unison:
"Tomorrow!!"
"Tomorrow!!"
"Tomorrow!!"
The sound waves got louder and louder, spreading far and wide in the night. Even the Konoha Ninjas from other camps couldn't help but look sideways.
On a slope at the edge of the camp, Uchiha Jun was leaning on a rock, with his hands in his pockets and a faint smile on his lips.
He heard those voices.
He smiled, raised his hand, and pointed at the sky.
"Then tomorrow."
His voice was not heavy, but it reached every Uchiha Clan's ears clearly.
"Okay!!"
There was another burst of loud cheers.
In the coach's camp on the other side, Orochimaru was sitting on a folding chair, holding a pen in his hand, and the blank scroll in front of him was already filled with half a page of text.
Orochimaru's pen tip paused for a moment, then he raised his head and looked in the direction of the tent door - there, Uchiha Jun was lifting the curtain and walking in.
"Did you hear that?"
"Hmm."
Uchiha Jun walked to another folding chair and sat down, leaning on the back of the chair casually, "The tribe is a little excited, but it's not a big problem."
"It's really not a problem." Orochimaru put down his pen and folded his hands on his knees, "You single-handedly suppressed two Perfect Jinchuriki, killing one and capturing one, and solved the problem of an entire front. This military achievement is ranked high even among Konoha."
"Teacher Sarutobi Even if I want to, I can't."
Orochimaru paused and lowered his voice slightly, "Besides, I have already written him a letter."
"In the letter, I gave him two choices."
Uchiha Jun raised his eyebrows. "Which two?"
"First," Orochimaru raised a finger, "You will take over my position as commander-in-chief. I will take some of the Uchiha Clan elites to the Sunagakure front to support Tsunade."
"Second," he raised his second finger, "You continue to gain military merit in Cloud-nin Frontline, and after the war is over, return to the village to run for Hokage with an undisputed record."
Uchiha Jun laughed softly when he heard this.
"Which one do you think Hokage will choose?"
"The first one." Orochimaru replied without hesitation, "He will never let you become Hokage, or at this time, he will not let an extremely young and ambitious Uchiha Clan be elected as Hokage!"
"So, just let him choose the first one."
The two looked at each other and said nothing.
The next day, Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting behind his desk, with a thick battle report spread out in front of him.
He had been staring at the battle report for a whole hour, and the expression on his old face became more and more complicated.
