He is currently very satisfied with the state of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that there was no Invincibility technique, because he had learned this in his textbooks when he was a child.
The editor of that textbook was none other than the Second Hokage, who created this technique!
But as of now, I haven't found a way to control myself.
So, as long as the information hasn't been leaked, is there anything to worry about?
He knew very well that this technique had only one application scenario: the final battle against the Senju!
If the truth is revealed during the final battle, even if the enemy finds a way to counter it, will it be too late?
And now that it has been successfully developed, the support from teachers will be substantial.
He'll have a few more years to study it, and even if this technique does have flaws, he's confident he can fix them!
The only pity is that I don't have enough materials at the border of the Land of Rain.
Otherwise, he really wanted to know what that person's limits were!
The corpse of Genin will be able to unleash the fighting power of Jonin.
So, with the Jonin's corpse, could that person then perform his perfect routine?
Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up!
He heard the explanation from the younger generation for his question.
Especially after those two benefits were mentioned, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately thought of a Ninjutsu that was also on the Scroll of Seals!
Well... depending on the situation, the two go well together.
Collect enough materials from powerful individuals beforehand, and prepare enough corpses.
During the final battle...
After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed a smile and said to the disciple opposite him, "Good, very good. This time, I'll let you bring everyone back because this Ninjutsu is too important."
"That place is fine for small-scale research, but it's not suitable now that there are already results. The safety is too low, and it's too risky for you to do it alone."
"I plan to arrange for you to lead a team to the main base overseen by Mitokado Homura for research!"
"He has all the materials you mentioned before, and I'll give you a letter to give him so he can be responsible for providing you with what you need!"
"Yes, teacher!" Orochimaru Kakuzu n't help but smile when he heard his teacher's words.
Seeing his disciple's joy, he knew that the child genuinely enjoyed studying this art.
His success is probably due to this passion!
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and continued, "I will try my best to satisfy your external needs, but the research on this technique will depend on you."
"I hope you can further optimize it, find out all the advantages and disadvantages of this technique, and try to find its various limits."
He paused for a moment, then stood up, opened the secret chamber behind him, and took out another small Scroll.
After restoring the secret chamber, Hiruzen Sarutobi handed the Scroll to Orochimaru, saying, "Besides researching the technique itself, I also hope you can refine more and better applications of that technique."
" The Ninjutsu recorded in this Scroll might offer you some advantages. I hope you can give me a good result before the battle!"
After receiving the Scroll and listening to his teacher's instructions, Orochimaru glanced at the title of the Scroll in his hand.
' Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags '
Upon seeing the name, he was overjoyed.
When he told the teacher about the two benefits, he actually wanted to ask for the technology to be studied.
But this time, the teacher gave it to the student without asking.
For the first time, Orochimaru truly understood the immense impact of success!
After finishing his official business, Hiruzen Sarutobi the subject and started talking to his disciple about his expertise in family matters.
The master's wife's concern, the master's longing, and the junior brother's complaints.
The Third Hokage once again launched an attack on his disciple from his most comfortable position, further deepening the bond between them!
The two chatted for about an hour.
Finally, Orochimaru left the Hokage's office with a reward payment receipt.
This bonus is Hiruzen Sarutobi's reward to his disciples and their team from another perspective!
"Snap!"
The sound of the door locking echoed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the Scroll left behind by Orochimaru on the table and immediately began to examine it.
After a long while, I went through the experimental records from beginning to end.
He looked up, picked up the pipe again, and took out tobacco from the small red cloth bag to make his own tobacco.
"Sizzle!"
The long match head struck, and an orange Kakkō lit up.
He brought it to the end of his Hiruzen Sarutobi and once again indulged in this habit that he just couldn't break!
"Whew!"
As he exhaled white smoke, with the help of nicotine, Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared up some things in his mind.
So, as he put down his pipe again, he addressed the empty room, saying, "I hereby grant you permission to mobilize a Large Unit sufficiently loyal men."
"Send them to various countries and regions to collect items belonging to those who died in battle and were notorious."
"You can also visit those Ninja graveyards more often!"
Orochimaru's research was successful; the effects of his Ninjutsu now met the requirements for combat.
Therefore, the corresponding preparations need to be made.
Furthermore, this disciple is no longer leading a team alone outside, but will conduct research within their own controlled territory.
As for safety, he no longer needs to worry too much!
The presence of Mitokado Homura means surveillance, control, and security.
These will no longer be problems!
"Yes, sir!" A masked member of the Anbu suddenly appeared, bowed, and accepted the order.
Once the order was given, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued his work.
The benefits brought by disciples are immense.
After that surgery, he also needed to adjust some of his plans!
Not far from Konoha.
Several low hills are scattered around, enclosing a small plain in the middle.
At this crucial juncture between the plain and the low hills, camps of varying sizes were built.
"Sir, in the past few days, the enemy's activity level in Zone 1 has been much higher than last year!" A middle-aged man wearing Combat Uniform with the Hatake clan emblem reported to the chief.
"Sir, number two is the same," a Kurama Ninja chimed in.
"Sir, number three is also..."
"Sir, a similar situation exists in area four."
"..."
The words of that Hatake Ninja seemed to open a floodgate, and the people sitting on either side of the long table chimed in, recounting the recent anomalies in their respective areas.
He sat in the head seat of the largest tent in the encampment.
Listening to his subordinates' report, Uka Senju, who hadn't been here for almost a week, gained a better understanding of the current situation.
Everything was normal a week ago, but the fluctuations started this week?
It seems Orochimaru brought Hiruzen Sarutobi a very good message when he returned to the village last time!
Is it really that good that Sarutobi's transformation started so quickly?
"Knock knock!"
He lightly tapped his fingers on the table, interrupting his subordinates' speculations about the recent unusual movements of the enemy.
Uka Senju looked to her left and asked, "Has the Intelligence Department provided any information?"
"Sir, Sarutobi's forces have been moving around very frequently lately, but the key units South are all being monitored," a Young Man man wearing Senju Forehead Protector replied, bowing his head.
Since there are guards in the South, these extra people must be new recruits hiding below!
It seems Sarutobi has invested a significant amount of resources in this battlefield!
Uka Senju turned her gaze to everyone and asked, "How's the Uchiha's recent investigation going?"
After the last meeting, he conveyed the tasks assigned to him by the Clan, which were also his own affairs, to everyone.
He was naturally very concerned about matters concerning himself, and his subordinates would receive orders more urgently accordingly.
Now that so much time has passed, I wonder how well they've finished!
"Sir, we encountered a small team in Area One. We collected their blood and eyes," replied Jonin Hatake Clan who was closest to Uka.
After saying that, he took out several stored glass tubes from his Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist.
He then got up and placed the items on the wooden table in front of Uka Senju.
When he first received the order, he took advantage of a break at home to inquire with the Clan's higher-ups.
This is because it clearly places the Uchiha in opposition, rather than ignoring them as before.
Therefore, as a member of the Hatake Clan, he needed to inquire with the higher-ups.
But the reply was simply "obey orders," without any further explanation!
So he assigned a team specifically to handle this matter.
Unfortunately, not many Uchiha members left the village, resulting in very limited gains!
"Sir, we've gathered five people in area two: a squad and two lone individuals!" the Kurama Jonin as he placed the items next to area one.
"Sir, we only encountered two lone individuals in area three; the collection is complete."
"Sir, we only encountered one squad in area four!"
"..."
Looking at the things that people stood up one after another to report and placed in front of them, there were test tubes Sharingan and blood!
Uka Senju picked up one and examined it from all angles.
There were a total of sixteen people, but only one team Mitsudomoe!
The Uchiha people on this mission out of the village are actually quite average in terms of strength!
We launched an intelligence raid earlier, and this is all we've gained?
After that, the Uchiha became wary...
He had a rough idea of how difficult the upcoming harvest would be.
"Moon, did you write down all the numbers from earlier?"
"Record complete, sir!" a woman in her early twenties wearing Senju Combat Uniform replied.
"Alright, distribute the bounty according to the previously agreed-upon figures!" Uka Senju said, while observing the eyes on her hands.
He had seen the Sharingan before, but only in anime or in the eyes of enemies.
In my past life, when I watched anime, I thought this thing was pretty cool and powerful.
This is the first time I've ever observed something this close up like this!
Looking at the Tomoe in his pupils, he was extremely curious about these things!
"Yes, sir!" Tsuki Senju replied again.
She is the Logistics manager for this team.
When the Clan issued that order, they also set different Tomoe magatama.
After all, they targeted the second largest clan in the Shinobi World, so the bounty was a kind of extra perk for those below them.
"After this meeting, I would like to ask all team leaders to go to the Logistics. The relevant funds will be disbursed immediately, without waiting until the end of the month!"
After turning her gaze away from the person who was observing her with curious eyes, Tsuki Senju addressed the group of Large Unit.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Lord Yue," Hatake Jonin.
"Now there's another big competition, the boys below will definitely search even more carefully!" Kurama said, Jonin suppressing a laugh.
This time, he had the largest quantity, and the quality of the Tomoe was also the best.
According to the figures Uka had mentioned earlier, this money would be taken back.
The guys down there must be ecstatic!
But a high reward isn't necessarily a good thing!
His initial joy vanished as he recalled the scene of obtaining the Mitsudomoe.
I started thinking about more reliable ways to earn bounties!
After all... they're from the Uchiha!
He put everything on the table into his Ninja Tool Pouch.
Uka Senju looked at the people at the long table and said, "You can continue with the Uchiha Clan's affairs, but you must also be prepared to deal with a counterattack from the Uchiha."
"Yes, sir!"
I gave these guys some instructions to prevent any damage to the team from these capsized boats.
There's no need to worry about the village itself, as there are teams from various ethnic groups stationed there.
The information that the Senju were targeting the Uchiha could not be kept secret.
It's estimated that the Uchiha's counterattack will begin soon.
After all, the second largest clan can't afford to have people die in vain, can they?
"Since Sarutobi's side has become active, we need to come up with a response."
"Otherwise, the Clan will say that our dozen or so teams aren't doing any work!"
After finishing her sentence, Uka Senju turned her gaze to the right and looked at the middle-aged man with short silver hair, saying, "Captain Hatake, let's start with your area number one."
"I'll send a Large Unit to assist you first. You get the atmosphere going, and I'll personally lead the rest of the team later."
"Yes, sir!" replied Hatake Jonin, who was in charge of Zone One.
The underhanded struggles outside the village can also be described as open struggles.
This is a remnant of the last war.
It is also the Second Shinobi World War besides the Battle of the Valley of the End discussed within Konoha.
Both sides share the idea of "tempering and suppressing."
But who really benefits and who loses out in this whole affair?
It all comes down to who retreats first and who loses the final battle!
Anyway, after the beginning, these Large Unit kept adding manpower.
In severe cases, the entire Large Unit may be replaced every month!
In these teams, Shinobi Clan held positions like Company Commander and Large Unit, positions that didn't involve them in battle.
The actual work of the fighting was carried out by the trained squad members.
They had only experienced the fighting here.
Only qualified personnel will return to the rear and become members of the Mixed Large Unit!
There was no other way; the Land of Fire was only this big, while both sides were training too many people.
We want these people to be more than just for show; they need to have real fighting ability and be able to play a role in the final battle.
This is the fundamental reason why both sides opened this Second Shinobi World War!
Having determined the main battle direction, Uka Senju looked at everyone again and said, "Start with Zone One, the other four zones will proceed gradually."
" Inuzuka Haruya Jonin, your team will go ahead and support Area One this time!"
"Yes, sir!" A Ninja from the Inuzuka Clan, sitting at the back with two lines of paint on his face, immediately stood up and replied.
He was also someone who had just been transferred here from the South.
He came here because his Clan was trying to secure him a position Large Unit of a Mixed Large Unit.
Besides gaining relevant experience, the purpose of coming here was to give him the opportunity to select subordinates.
If we don't cherish and find some good seedlings...
So, what about the maximum size of the Large Unit...?
That would be a disservice to the price the Clan paid to send him here!
