Chapter 45 【045】Hard talk

Ten minutes later, Yamazaka Haiyi stood up from the bushes.

There was a trace of dripping blood on the tip of the kunai blade in his hand.

Obviously, he has finished what he has to do.

However, his face was slightly darkened, and he looked like he had a headache:

"Lord Orochimaru, we're in trouble."

The people on the spot were not idle either. They divided their work and cooperated with each other to use escape techniques to level the sentry point, and spread the smell through wind escape to prevent the smell of blood from attracting unnecessary attention.

It wasn't until they heard Yamanaka Haiichi's voice that they each turned their heads.

Orochimaru looked calm: "Long story short."

"yes."

Yamanaka Haiichi concluded: "According to the jounin's memory feedback, there are more than two hundred Sunagakure ninjas who came to carry out the excavation mission this time. They are a standard team establishment. The leaders are Sunagakure consultant Chiyo, and 'Shagane'

'Luosha."

"The reason why Sunagakure was able to lead so many people into the Country of Rivers silently is that they seemed to have reached some agreement with the Country of Rain in advance and took a detour from the north."

"Not only that, they have now discovered the burial point of the Grayl Stone vein through the guidance of local people."

"The exploration work has continued for two days."

"However, according to the jounin's memory, it seems that what Sunagakure is trying to find is not the 'Grel Stone', but an artificial creation called the 'Grel Transformation Crystal'."

"This person doesn't know the specific reason."

Hearing the number [two hundred people], everyone couldn't help but look at each other for a moment, and then they all fell silent, looking at Orochimaru in the center in silence.

War is not a game.

Even with the configuration of their team, it is absolutely impossible to kill two hundred people in one go.

What's more, the team on the opposite side is still led by Sunagakure's famous "black puppet" Chiyo and "gold dust" Rasa.

This is tantamount to spreading a dragnet in front of them.

Orochimaru's expression didn't change at first, but after hearing the words 'Grel's Transformation Crystal', his expression suddenly turned ugly.

It is obvious that the purposes of both parties conflict.

Aida Masaki waited quietly on the side.

If I remember correctly, this 'Grel Stone' should be a special mineral that appeared in the theatrical version of "The Great Clash! The Underground Ruins of Fantasy".

But when it comes to how strong it is, it doesn't seem to be outstanding.

In that movie, most of the villains were overseas people who were forcibly embedded with the "Grel Stone", and thereby transformed into animals to a certain extent and gained some special abilities.

Those overseas people don't know how to use chakra at all, and their strength is at the Chunin to Jounin level at best.

In the end, they were killed by Uzumaki Naruto from the first part, along with Nara Shikamaru and Haruno Sakura.

Not even a single adult ninja from Konoha appears in the entire story.

But now it seems that the mineral called 'Grael's Stone' is not as simple as described in the original work.

At least, there is value for Orochimaru to risk his life to obtain.

"Nip difference."

After a long silence, Orochimaru asked: "With your eye power, can you avoid the alliance-level perception barrier in advance?"

"Can."

Hinata Hizashi spoke in a calm voice.

He is only in his early twenties this year, but he is already one of the strongest among the Hyuga clan. His eye power has been trained to the extreme that a ninja of the Separate Family can achieve, and his perception ability is very powerful.

"Minato, what about that technique? Have you practiced it?"

Orochimaru turned to look at Namikaze Minato again.

Little Yang nodded without hesitation: "Yes, but it takes a certain amount of preparation time to use it."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, everyone understood what Orochimaru wanted to do, and a chill ran down their spines.

Baiyun, who was only eleven years old, subconsciously widened his eyes in the morning, and his voice trembled faintly: "Lord Ouchimaru, are we going to attack the camp of the Sunagakure Alliance?"

"If we are the only team."

Although not all the words that followed were spoken, everyone understood what Bai Yun meant in the morning.

So, they all looked at Orochimaru.

Hearing this, Orochimaru just chuckled and said: "Morning, do you know what the most important belief is for a ninja?"

"Is it the Three Rings of Ninja?"

Baiyun's tone was hesitant in the morning, as if he didn't understand.

Obviously, this is a good boy who has read the ninja manual well.

But Orochimaru shook his head and scanned the people in front of him with the vertical pupils in his golden eyes:

"First, complete the mission at all costs."

"Second, trust your companions."

Everyone looked at him intently, confused.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Orochimaru's tone suddenly change, with a serious expression: "As a commander, I will not issue tasks that cannot be completed to the team members."

"As captain, I will always be ahead of you!"

"If you are dead, the enemy must have stepped on my body."

"This is my promise to you, Orochimaru."

Speaking of this, Orochimaru stopped the understatement smile on his face, turned to look at his teammates seriously, and said word by word:

"So."

"Do you believe the judgment I made?"

"..."

Listening to his solemn and solemn words like an oath, everyone from Baiyun Morning to Shanzhong Haiyi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of shame in their hearts.

They couldn't help but feel ashamed for the doubts that arose in their hearts, and they all responded with voices coming from the bottom of their hearts:

"believe!!"

It must be said that every character who can hold a high position in the village has his own personality charm.

No matter what Orochimaru looks like twenty years from now, it has nothing to do with the current 'Orochimaru' who dares to be the first to conquer.

The current Orochimaru is the famous "Konoha Sannin" in the ninja world! He is the "Cold Lord" who makes the enemy tremble in fear on the battlefield! He is also one of the fourth generation candidates of the direct line who wields the Kusanagi and points his sword at the position of Hokage.

one!

The country's scholars are unparalleled and high-spirited.

This is Orochimaru in Konoha's thirty-ninth year.

Looking across everyone, Orochimaru's eyes stayed on Aida Masaki for half a second, but still said nothing.

He just ordered:

"Then, let's go!"

"Chiyo-sama."

Outside the tent, a chunin in Sunagakure uniform lifted the curtain and said in an urgent tone:

"Contact with Sentinel Point 7 has been lost!"

"Nothing was sent back."

Chiyo, who was in the tent, discussing the follow-up route around a sand table, was stunned, and raised his head with a frown.

Chiyo, who is now forty-eight years old, is already showing his age, and his facial skin is already showing signs of sagging, but his eyes are still sparkling and full of energy:

"Sentinel Point Seven."

Everyone at the table followed the moving fingers on the sand table and gradually pointed at a route on the east side of the River Country.

Eighty kilometers further east is the border of the Land of Fire.

Everyone present looked suddenly serious.

"Konoha...?"

The Second Ninja War had not long passed, and everyone present had enough profound memories from that war.
To be continued...
