Konoha's Destiny Twins

Orochimaru was stunned at this time, and he suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Seeing that Orochimaru seemed unresponsive, Shimizu repeated briefly: "Give me the Three-Tails, and I will return it to Kirigakure."

"Is there any compelling reason for you in April?"

The reason...

Qing Shui cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "Think about it, even if we win the battle this time, as long as the three tails are in Konoha Village for a day, Kirigakure will miss him for a day."

"One day, as long as they get a chance, they will still attack Konoha."

"And here, Er Yue has sealed the Yang attribute chakra of the three tails. You yourself said that a tailed beast can only use your sealing technique once."

"The remaining three-tailed Jinchuuriki, which has Yin attribute chakra sealed, is actually not of much use to Konoha. On weekdays, we have to be careful about the possibility of him going berserk."

"In that case, let's conquer them first, and then use the Three-Tails to sign a treaty with them and exchange for money. This will solve the hidden dangers and alleviate Konoha's financial crisis at the same time."

The perfect solution to kill three birds with one stone.

After hearing Qingshui's explanation, Orochimaru fell into deep thought, and he was seriously thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

"What's the problem?"

"In the past, this matter of three tails was naturally just a matter of my words, but now..."

To put it simply, the Three-Tails used to be Orochimaru's personal property. Even if he kept it, he could still give it to Shimizu as long as he was happy.

But now since Orochimaru ascended to the position of the Fourth Hokage, the Three-Tails has become a bargaining chip for him to reach a settlement with the top management of Konoha for the sake of the stability and prosperity of the village. This also means that the Three-Tails is no longer Orochimaru's personal property, but the property of the entire Konoha.

No matter how much power the Kage has, in the face of such a nuclear bomb-level strategic weapon, he still needs to think twice and get the approval of Konoha's top brass.

"Are you afraid you can't convince them?"

"Actually, I had proposed a similar plan a few days ago, but those old guys didn't agree."

It turns out that Orochimaru, in order to reduce bloodshed and sacrifice, even wanted to directly use the three tails as a bargaining chip to negotiate for peace. Since he couldn't hold on,

It is better to recycle waste and let it exert its final light and heat.

But those stubborn old men refused to give up on the tailed beast easily.

In addition, the intelligence that has been learned now shows that Amegakure also has plans for the three tails. Facing the all-pervasive and elusive Yu Yin, they have even more reason to worry that this matter may eventually be disturbed by Yu Yin, or even come to nothing.

That would be too much of a loss.

"Then what was their original plan?"

If they don't want to fight or cut their flesh, what are they going to do in the face of Kirigakure's invasion?

"Hold on." At this point, Orochimaru was a little helpless, "Kirigakure's situation is actually not much better than ours."

It turned out that there was not much money to continue waging war.

"With such a huge army attacking over long distances, supply is a serious problem. So as long as we can't hold on and eventually exhaust them until they run out of supplies, we will naturally be relieved."

"This..." Qing Shui once again opened his eyes to how conservative these guys were, "What about the Sandaime Hokage? Didn't he say anything?"

Orochimaru was seen shaking his head slowly.

Well, it seems that the old fox Sandaime Hokage is taking a wait-and-see attitude, because the situation has not yet developed to a situation that requires an immediate decision.

Just by doing this, won't it really delay the fighter's chances?

Since the three-tailed Jinchuuriki couldn't be lent to him right away, it wouldn't be a problem to borrow an Uchiha brat.

"By the way, I'm going to take Shisui with me for this operation."

"That's no problem. It's just that Shisui is still out on a mission, and it will probably take some time before he comes back."

If Shisui had to wait for Shisui to return to the village to report after completing his mission, and then rush to the front line, then Qingshui would probably have his daylily cold.

It can only be recalled.

But if the ANBU ninjas who are out on missions are recalled in advance, then they can only send another ninja to respond and rotate the missions.

But there is currently no one available for Orochimaru, and all the effective forces in the village have been dispatched.

As for abandoning the mission...

Sorry, barren Konoha really can't afford the compensation.

"Must you take him with you?"

"yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Orochimaru tapped his index finger on the table as he thought about a countermeasure: "Yuyuki-kun has given me another problem."

If Sanbi doesn't give it, then Shisui won't do it either?

How can he carry out his future career? !

"Orochimaru, you are the Fourth Hokage."

The dignified Hokage, why can't I give you what I want?

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Haha, this is the first time I heard Yuki-kun call me the Yondaime Hokage."

"Don't interrupt." Qing Shui was afraid that Orochimaru would fool him again, so he immediately expressed his position, "Find a way quickly. I can wait for three tails for ten days and a half, but I really can't wait for Shisui."

"Since April-Jun said so..."

"Teacher." Suddenly a girl's voice came from the window.

This is……

"It's Anko." Orochimaru's originally tight brows suddenly relaxed, and then he showed a smile.

This seems to be...a doting smile? !

I saw Anko with short purple hair jumping down from the window. She smiled and said, "Hello, Senior April."

What a energetic girl!

"Hello, Anko." Qing Shui returned the smile.

I saw Anko flying towards Orochimaru, and then said happily: "Teacher, I can successfully cast the fire dragon flame bomb you taught me last time."

Fire Dragon Flame Bullet... isn't this a B-level ninjutsu that only a jounin can master? !

I still remember that time two years ago, when Anko was spotted by Orochimaru just after graduating from the ninja school. Unexpectedly, in just two years, the strength has undergone such earth-shaking changes.

This is just a 12-year-old child.

I still remember when Qing Shui was 12... forget it, just don't mention it.

But it is true that these brats who survived the Third Ninja War are all very strong.

The future generations are terrible.

"Very good." Orochimaru praised, "The next step is to test it in actual combat."

"With your current amount of chakra, you can only use it once. Therefore, if you want to defeat a powerful enemy, you must create almost perfect prerequisites for the use of this technique."

"Understood, I have never forgotten the ninja code that teacher said."

"Very good." Orochimaru suddenly began to look down at this month's ninja attendance records.

"Teacher, I should have no problem taking the Chuunin exam now."

It turns out that Anko will also take part in the Chunin Examination this month. It seems that Orochimaru has high expectations for him. He directly recommended her to take part in the dangerous Chunin Examination only two years after graduation.

However, after Orochimaru pulled out a document, he said: "Anko, what I'm teaching you is not for the Chunin Exam."

"But for now."

The title of the document clearly read "Uchiha Shisui, A-level mission details".
