Land of Rain, the continuous rain seemed to have stopped for a moment because of the earth-shattering battle in the north.
When the figure of Senju Chen, accompanied by the light of Flying Thunder God's magic, quietly appeared on the edge of the Konoha camp, the atmosphere of the entire camp changed subtly.
When the patrolling ninjas saw his familiar and young face, their movements would freeze unconsciously for a moment, and then they would look at him with a mixture of enthusiasm and awe.
The originally noisy hustle and bustle in the camp would become eerily quiet in the areas he walked through.
People were whispering, but when his eyes glanced over, they would immediately shut up, looking nervous and excited.
Senju Chen seemed unaware of all this, with that gentle smile still hanging on his lips, and walked straight to the command tent in the center of the camp.
However, on the way, several familiar figures blocked his way.
"Chen...Chen-kun!" Lin's face showed the joy of reunion and a hint of bewilderment.
Obito next to her was staring at Senju Chen with a monster-like look. He opened his mouth, but didn't squeeze out a word for a long time.
The biggest change is Kakashi.
He was wearing a brand new Chunin vest, and his short silver-white hair was still conspicuous under the gloomy sky.
He originally wanted to wait for this guy to come back and give him a surprise, and show off that he had been promoted to Chunin like him, but when the battle report spread throughout the camp, all his pride and thoughts of showing off were crushed to pieces.
One person can kill thousands of Iwagakure elites.
Wood Release, Advent of a World of Trees.
These words were like mountains, weighing him down and making him breathless.
Apart from the momentary surprise of seeing the other person, I don't know what to say now.
He looked at the young man in front of him who was younger than himself and had a gentle and harmless smile, and felt that the brand-new Chunin vest was so dazzling and ridiculous.
"Hey, have you graduated? Why are you all here?"
Senju Chen's eyes swept across the three of them, and finally landed on a heroic purple-haired girl beside them.
The girl, with her high ponytail and a wild smile on her lips, was looking at him with an aggressive and curious look.
"Anko? Why are you here too?"
"Senju Chen!" The girl leaned forward slightly and came close to Senju Chen. The tip of her nose almost touched the tip of his nose, and she exhaled like blue.
"I am also a student of Teacher Orochimaru now. I can be considered your junior sister, Chen-kun."
She deliberately emphasized the word "Chen-kun", with a cunning light in her eyes, and added something almost inaudible, "I heard a lot about you before I made up my mind to become a disciple. You can't let me down."
Senju Chen Smelled the faint fragrance coming from the girl, looked at her eyes that did not hide her ambition, and the curve of her mouth became more and more playful.
What an interesting little girl.
Before he could respond, Minato Namikaze's figure had already walked out of the command tent quickly.
"Little Chen, you are back!"
Minato's face was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart, but deep in his eyes, there was also a hint of unspeakable complex emotions.
He stepped forward and wanted to hand over the command power to Senju Chen: "Since you are back, the command power of the camp..."
However, before he could finish his words, a Ninja Hawk roared down, and an intelligence ninja quickly untied the mailbox and rushed over with a solemn expression.
"Lord Minato! Lord Hokage Emergency transfer order!"
Minato took the scroll, quickly opened it, and his golden pupils shrank suddenly.
He looked up at Senju Chen, his expression became extremely strange.
In the camp, Minato handed the scroll to Senju Chen.
The above command is very simple - order Senju Chen to return to the village immediately, without any mistakes.
Konoha suddenly received an order from Senju Chen to return to the village. No one quite understood why.
"The war here is not over yet. Why is Senju Chen suddenly asked to go back? Is it a new mission?" Kakashi asked in confusion.
"That's right, he just came back." Anko looked at Senju Chen who had just met but was about to separate, and couldn't help but say.
Senju Chen After being surprised, he immediately understood the meaning of this transfer order.
This time Land of Earth's defeat has been determined. Now whether or not he is here has little impact.
And what I did this time was indeed a bit too outrageous.
Others may feel puzzled. He is obviously the person who determines the outcome of the war and is the biggest hero. Why should he be transferred from the front line at this time?
But Senju Chen knew it in his heart the moment he saw the order.
He looked at the message on the scroll asking him to return to the village immediately, and an imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Because Konoha Some people can hardly sit still.
Returning to the village this time seems to be a blessing, but in fact it is hidden in the snow.
First, it is protection.
Today, in the eyes of all Five Great Nations's shadows, I am afraid that I am no longer the "God of Shinobi of the future", but the "Growing God of Shinobi".
Wood Release·Advent of a World of Trees, this technique is so famous and intimidating.
My performance on the northern battlefield can be said to be that one man can defeat a thousand troops.
In addition, he helped Kumogakure capture Four-Tails Jinchūriki, which completely confirmed his name as "Jinchūriki Hunter".
It has only been a few decades since my uncle Hashirama Senju passed away, and these people finally waited for him to die. In order to prevent the second Hashirama Senju from appearing, I am afraid that other countries will put aside all their prejudices and interests and assassinate them at all costs.
Even Konoha's allies never want Konoha to produce another monster that can suppress an era.
Although Senju Chen prides himself on his current strength, not many people in Shinobi World can assassinate him. If he can't defeat us, he can't run away, right.
But if he stays on the battlefield, he is indeed a living target, a super taunt that can attract the attention and firepower of all countries in the entire Shinobi World.
Even because of yourself, you may disrupt this hard-won situation.
Secondly, there are checks and balances.
The master is shocked by his high achievements.
His military exploits were so great that even the old man Hokage felt uneasy.
The lessons learned from Hatake Sakumo are still fresh in our minds.
But Konoha High Command would never dare to use the same methods he used against Hatake Sakumo to deal with himself.
Because his surname is Senju. With this surname, as long as he betrays Konoha without knowing it, no one will dare to throw dirt on him for no reason.
When the news spread back to the village, the people of Senju Faction, who had been silent for a long time, might not be able to bear it anymore and started to make some moves.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi must transfer himself back immediately.
Firstly, it is to test his own attitude, and secondly, it is to appease the restless people and control all unstable factors under his nose.
Just go back. Senju Chen didn't have any complaints, but accepted the transfer order with peace of mind.
However, before leaving, there are some things that must be taken care of.
At night, in a dense forest on the outskirts of the camp, a white-haired figure stood quietly on the treetops. His gaze penetrated the branches and leaves and landed on the unsmiling silver-haired young man standing next to his companions at the entrance of the camp in the distance.
After a long time, the white-haired figure sighed slightly, with both relief and guilt on his face.
"Uncle Sakumo, Kakashi He can already take care of himself. He has his own teacher and his own partner, and he has gradually gotten rid of the knot in his heart."
"When this war is over, I will propose that your fake death be made public, at least to let Kakashi know that you are still alive."
Senju Chen walked out from behind another tree and said to Hatake Sakumo beside him.
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as Kakashi lives well, I am already a "dead person". Thank you, Little Chen, for letting me see Kakashi again."
"You deserve this. You have been lurking in Land of Rain for so long. This time you were able to reverse the situation and defeat Iwagakure. You deserve it. I will respond to Konoha High Command."
Senju Chen held a note he had just written in his hand and handed it to Hatake Sakumo.
"Uncle Sakumo, help me give this to Konan from Akatsuki."
Here are some of his follow-up arrangements for the "Xiao" organization.
He told Konan in the letter that now is a war period, and that their "Akatsuki" can develop rapidly, and materials will be prepared for them.
But once the war is over, you can no longer be as upright as you are now. The noise you have made recently has been too big. Hanzo of the Salamander has noticed them, but there is no time to deal with it now.
But once the war is over, Hanzo of the Salamander will be able to use his hands to destroy them, so we must control this speed.
At the same time, let Konan be optimistic about Yahiko and let him develop with peace of mind. Don't be too impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Finally, at the end of the letter, he drew a small lily that never fades.
In a dark and damp underground laboratory.
Orochimaru looked at Senju Chen who looked relaxed and not at all angry. A trace of relief flashed in his golden snake eyes.
"What do you think if the village transfers you back at this time?"
"What else can you think about? Land of Earth's defeat has been decided this time. It doesn't make much difference whether I stay here or not. Moreover, I have been out for a long time, so I just want to go back and have a good rest." Senju Chen said indifferently.
"Aren't you unwilling?" Orochimaru looked at Senju Chen who looked indifferent and asked curiously.
"Teacher, I am only ten years old."
With these six simple words, Orochimaru suddenly fell silent.
In the two years since Senju Chen and he came to Land of Rain, each thing this disciple has done is more and more jaw-dropping.
So much so that everyone unconsciously ignored this young man's age, and even he suddenly woke up, his disciple was only ten years old.
You can't let a ten-year-old kid fight for Hokage Position...
Even if Senju Chen has outstanding military exploits and his reputation is resounding throughout Shinobi World, when others hear his age, their first reaction is not fear, but... this child must not be kept.
This is the mentality of most people Shinobi World now.
This is also one of the reasons why Konoha urgently recalled Senju Chen.
Orochimaru licked his lips and did not continue the topic. Instead, he pointed to the ten metal boxes in the corner of the laboratory that shone with cold air.
"That's the method you proposed before to preserve corpses. I made a few of them at random."
Senju Chen As soon as he heard this, he stepped forward and opened one of the boxes.
An extremely cold air hit my face.
The inside of the box is covered with a special Ice Release Chakra, forming a vacuum environment near absolute zero.
"Corpse preservation box? You have made it now? Teacher, you are really a genius." Senju Chen looked at the "refrigerator" in front of him, and looked at Orochimaru with a shocked look on his face.
"According to your thinking, this method does last longer than the normal way of preserving corpses." Orochimaru said nonchalantly, as if he had completed a trivial task.
Senju Chen looked at the "refrigerator" in front of him with surprise in his eyes.
I was just casually talking and giving an idea, but someone actually figured it out right away. I can only say that it was you, Orochi-John Gorey-Snake.
Senju Chen silently swore in his heart, teacher, with your invention and creation technology, even if you really defect in the future Konoha, you will still be my "good teacher" for the rest of my life.
Senju Chen "gently" stroked the big "refrigerator" in front of him. This thing will be of great use in the future. With this thing, many of his subsequent plans can be implemented.
Senju Chen unceremoniously put away all ten "refrigerators" with seal scrolls.
Orochimaru looked at him taking it for granted, not only was he not angry, but he also felt that it was natural.
"When you return to the village this time, you should keep a low profile."
"I understand, teacher."
Then Senju Chen waved his hand and said goodbye to Orochimaru.
After that, he said goodbye to Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, Anko and others, as well as his comrades in the past two years. Under the admiration and reluctant gaze of everyone, Senju Chen disappeared from everyone's eyes and embarked on the road back home.
Konoha, I'm back.
