Konoha's task master

In the battlefield.

After repelling the enemy, the three of them returned to their camps.

Although we have experienced fighting side by side...

But they can't be friends.

Yakumo returned to the tent and began to clean up the wounds on his body. The attack method of the alien beast was very special, different from most chakra usage methods in the ninja world.

When treating the wound, it becomes more complicated and accompanied by mild neuralgia.

The whole process lasted about five hours.

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that it was completely cleared.

During this process, Yakumo was always analyzing what happened today.

From Orochimaru deliberately delaying the battle to when the giant beast crawled out of the crack, Orochimaru suddenly disappeared...the familiar evil chakra fluctuations.

This matter must be related to Orochimaru.

At this moment, Orochimaru's deliberate delay in the battle was well explained, but Yakumo didn't understand... what benefits Orochimaru could gain by doing this.

"He...can't eat that blood lion, right?"

Two hours later, Orochimaru returned.

Yakumo felt the familiar evil chakra fluctuations.

In the headquarters, Orochimaru sat quietly in the main seat with an evil look on his face. Most of his body was hidden in the darkness, and the shadow shrouded his entire face, giving the impression that he was like an extremely terrifying beast from the wild.

Well, Yakumo opened the rolling door and walked in without ceremony.

Orochimaru opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other. The energy in the air was slightly stagnant. In fact, Yakumo was already ready to fight.

"Did you summon that giant beast?"

Yakumo opened his mouth and got straight to the point.

Orochimaru had a weird smile on his face when he was being questioned, but it was definitely not anger.

"That's right."

"Deliberately delaying the war, all because of today's sacrifice?"

"That's right."

"That monster killed a lot of people..."

Yakumo continued.

"Is this important? Yakumo-kun."

Yakumo put his hand on the handle of the demon-suppressing knife.

"Yakumo-kun, if you hadn't killed Danzo, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to fight Sansho Hanzo. If he hadn't been seriously injured before his death, I wouldn't have been able to feel the limitations of human beings so clearly. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have

You may get the first ray of alien chakra and get the opportunity to transcend yourself."

Orochimaru stood up and continued with some fanaticism.

“…You made me who I am!”

"..." Yakumo was silent.

Is this the butterfly effect...?

"Yakumo-kun, are you willing to explore the secrets of chakra with me..."

"I would like to share with you the secret of immortality that I have discovered."

Orochimaru's expression became extremely sincere and full of bewitching power.

At this moment, he seemed like a devil that deceived people's hearts.

"Hahaha..." Yakumo laughed.

"In my memory, Lord Orochimaru... has never been a generous person. You only find the weaknesses in the hearts of your subordinates, brainwash them to make them extremely loyal to you, and make them become you after giving insignificant knowledge and strength.

Nutrients on the road to immortality..."

"It seems to me that you are just afraid of death and afraid of your own limits...a wretch with despicableness and cowardice written all over your bones!"

Yakumo is provoking Orochimaru verbally.

Orochimaru did not become angry because of Yakumo's sarcasm, his eyes were still full of peace, and he said extremely seriously.

"Yakumo-kun, you are different from them. If immortality is described as a road, there is no room for people with mediocre talents on this road. But you are different. Your talents are as bright as the sun... I have only seen them in my life. In your talent

Now, I even feel as humble as an insect!"

Orochimaru's tone was still calm, but Yakumo could hear it a bit more truthfully.

He could even detect that Orochimaru wasn't lying.

"Partner…?"

Yakumo couldn't believe it.

In Orochimaru's opinion, Yakumo is his best partner. At this time, he has realized his own limit and needs a strong ally to help him break this limit.

"Yakumo-kun, compared to the vast ninja world, people die in various ways all the time. They are all destined to die anyway... In exchange for their fate, you and I will live forever, why not?

"

"I don't think so..."

Orochimaru was not discouraged and continued to speak.

"Why care about the life and death of ordinary people..."

"I won't promise you."

Yakumo shook his head and refused.

"That's such a shame..."

A disappointed look appeared on Orochimaru's face, as if he was really sad because of Yakumo's rejection.

"It doesn't matter, one day... we will be side by side."

"I don't think so...justice will not succumb to evil."

"Hahaha...justice...hahahaha."

Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked his cheek subconsciously, as if he became extremely excited because of Yakumo's words, and his yellow vertical pupils were full of ridicule.

"The way you smile is so disgusting."

Yakumo shook his head and sighed.

"Hahaha...Yakumo-kun..."

Orochimaru was still laughing nervously.

"One day you will know the truth of the world, and then you will understand that the so-called good and evil are only written by the winner!"

"Yeah?"

Yakumo stepped closer to Orochimaru on the seat, with a look of interest on his face.

"Do you want to know? The truth about this world?"

Orochimaru had a smile on his face and continued to be tempting.

"certainly…"

Yakumo continued to step closer and gradually came within three meters of Orochimaru.

"We are simply users of chakra...but not the masters."

Orochimaru continued to speak.

But the next second, his expression suddenly changed, and the hairs on his body stood up!

Golden light, only golden light left in the entire field of vision!

"Blink!"

Yakumo took action without any warning. The three-meter distance was covered almost instantly, and a golden arc of lightning broke through the tent and shot straight into the sky.

At this time, the immortal mark on his forehead has appeared.

At this time, the blade of Fu Mo's blade was burning with golden flames.

The blade struck through the air and struck Orochimaru's body almost instantly.

The light armor on the body was cut off almost instantly, revealing the bloodless pale skin. The blade gradually cut through the skin, but gradually a feeling of obstruction was felt.

It feels like cutting cowhide with a dull knife...

Yakumo looked closely and found that the skin on the surface of Orochimaru's body was actually composed of countless small white scales. Although it looked like skin, it was as hard as steel.

No blood flowed from the skin cut by the blade, and Orochimaru still had panic in his eyes. Then he immediately began to react, mobilizing the blood-red chakra in his body to get closer to the blade.

The next second, the body was cut open entirely.

Yakumo immediately turned around, and countless swords rushed towards the severed body.

The two severed body parts fell to the ground.

But Orochimaru's momentum did not weaken, and the two segments of his body changed rapidly... and actually turned into two intact white snakes in Yakumo's surprised eyes.

The two white snakes meandered quickly on the ground, quickly avoiding the attacks of the surrounding swords, and at the same time began to gather into larger white snakes.

The size of the white snake began to grow wildly, and the crystal clear white scales on its body gradually expanded like a huge disk. At the same time, the snake's head began to separate and gradually formed five huge snake heads.

The backbone of this giant snake has a wooden texture, and there is a blood-red bone sword at the tail, spreading an evil aura.

It's like the Yaki no Jutsu in Yakumo's memory.

But there is an essential difference...

For example, it only has five heads now, but the pressure it unleashes has already exceeded the level in the original work.

Vibrant holiness, mixed with the blood of fallen monsters.

The fishy smell mixed with the fragrance of flowers hit his face, but as time went by, the floral fragrance gradually dissipated, and Yakumo could only smell the unique fishy smell of reptiles.

The huge snake body burst the tent.

Yakumo planned to continue the attack, but...suddenly found that the surroundings were surrounded by Konoha ninjas who heard the noise.

Many seriously injured patients were lying in the medical department not far away.

If a fight breaks out between the two, the people around them will definitely die.

Yakumo took back his weapon.

The giant white snake gradually shrank and gradually transformed into the image of Orochimaru.

The two looked at each other.

Orochimaru had a smile on his face.

"Yakumo, you belong to me!"

Orochimaru didn't seem to be angry at Yakumo's attack.

For genius...he always has great patience.

This is a process of gradual conquest and a mutual sympathy between geniuses.

Orochimaru... left without looking back.

It seemed like he wasn't injured.

But it was clear that Yakumo split his body into two.

That feeling of real cutting is unmistakable.

"Can he... still be considered a human being?"

perhaps,

Not attacking the surrounding Konoha ninjas was Orochimaru's last bit of humanity.

"Everyone returns to their respective posts and is on alert."

Yakumo quickly rushed to the Iwagakure barracks.

When the collision broke out, Onoki had already set off.

Onoki and Yakumo met halfway. In fact, Onoki planned to check what happened at the Konoha military camp.

"what happened?"

Ohnoki asked, with his eyesight he could only see a fleeting white giant snake and a golden beam of light rising into the sky.

"Nothing... Regarding the issue of peace treaty and compensation, within a few days of the armistice, a mission will be sent to Konoha for negotiations. Konoha will withdraw its troops tomorrow... If Iwagakure takes another step forward... I will not hold back."

Yakumo prevaricated Ohnoki, his words mixed with threats.

"good…"

Ohnoki turned around and flew away.

Now, Yakumo appears here intact.

Then... Iwagakure is not qualified to continue the war.

That night, people in the Konoha military camp were in panic.

Yakumo sent a psychic beast to summarize what happened today and report it to the Fourth Hokage Hatake Sakumo. He also informed Jiraiya and Tsunade that Orochimaru colluded with the unknown evil god and chose to leave. Tsunade will definitely regret it.

Give that wisp of alien chakra to Orochimaru...

Maybe... Orochimaru will not return to Konoha after leaving this time.

Yakumo even speculated that Orochimaru might have already made plans to rebel against Konoha before he issued the military order.

Sacrifice...Odu...Chakra beast...Otsutsuki clan.

"The user of chakra...not the master."

Yakumo suddenly remembered this sentence.

Could it be that...he already knows about the Otsutsuki clan?

Yakumo had watched anime in his previous life, but unfortunately he just skipped and watched it. There were many omissions in the plot. Even though the main plot of Naruto was pieced together almost perfectly through a certain bar and a certain sound, he still did not dare to relax at all.

Because...this is a real world.

Now it has been proven that the evil god that exists in Hidan's belief really exists and has even come to the ninja world through Orochimaru's sacrifice.

Cells of Senju Hashirama.

Odu's energy...and the cells of Ryūchi Cave Snake?

Yakumo took out the scroll and began to analyze and record the observed characteristics of Orochimaru, and began to analyze.

…ten minutes later.

Yakumo wrote that he has extremely strong vitality and is difficult to kill.

For the rest, the information is insufficient.

He had a feeling that he and Orochimaru would have a battle in the future.

As midnight approached, Yakumo put away the scroll.

Get into the closet and enter the arena to hone your sword skills with Miyamoto Musashi.

The next day, early morning.

With the cooperation of Konoha Anbu, Yakumo obtained temporary command of the army and immediately directed the Konoha army to begin an orderly withdrawal. On the other hand, the Iwagakure army also began to retreat under the leadership of Onoki.

Following this, Iwagakure retreated.

Kumogakure sued Konoha for peace and sent an envoy to negotiate.

That afternoon, the Konoha army left the Country of Grass.

At the same time, Iwagakure's army left the Country of Grass.

Kumogakure's army left Tang Country.

The Third War is coming to an end.

In these three battles, Konoha became the only victorious nation.

But everyone understood that the person who made the most contributions in this war was not Hatake Sakumo who was sitting behind the battlefield and coordinating everything, nor Sarutobi Hiruzen, the main commander of the Sunagakure battlefield, nor Jiraiya or Orochimaru.

It's him, that boy, Jing Yakumo.

From the beginning of the war, from Chiyo to the Third Raikage.

From the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to the 300-meter-tall Thousand-Armed Buddha.

Yakumo successfully climbed to the top of the ninja world.

Since then, the strongest man in the ninja world has had a new name.

With his blessing, Konoha achieved its only victory.

In the next thirty years, the four major countries will live in the shadows.

The next day, Yakumo and the advance troops had returned to Konoha.

In Konoha Hidden Village, there were many women standing waiting for their families to return. When the advance troops dispersed, the dark clouds in some people's hearts dissipated and their faces beamed with smiles, while others gradually became desperate.

But when they heard that this was just the advance force, and that there were logistics and wounded people at the rear, the fire of hope in their eyes was rekindled, but only Yakumo knew it.

Two-thirds of these people are destined to be disappointed. In this battle between the Country of Grass and Iwagakure, at least two-thirds of the people will stay in that grassland, that plain, and that battlefield forever.

This is all because of Orochimaru.

Yakumo was walking on the street, and many people were crying quietly at this moment.

The joy in my heart is gone.

What exactly did the war bring to the world?

It seems...it is always these civilians who suffer.

Yakumo even felt regret in his heart.

After all, he had the ability to prevent Orochimaru's sacrifice in advance, but because he didn't want to cause more trouble, he avoided possible responsibilities.

He did not make a decision at that time for two reasons.

First, Orochimaru is the designated commander of Konoha.

Second, he doesn't know how to direct a battle.

Suddenly, the game prompt sounded.
