The will of fire can't save the ninja world

In the simple conference hall of Mist Town.

Orochimaru sat in the main seat, looking around at the dwindling number of subordinates.

It has been almost two years since the war with the Sand Ninja began.

After Danzo successfully borrowed a passage from the Land of Rain without any effort, the Operations Department was vaguely divided into two factions.

As time went by, the veteran Danzo gained more and more say, and he seemed to have the prototype of a commander in charge of Konoha's battle against the Suna Ninja.

He is not afraid of jokes from other ninja villages. The subordinates Orochimaru relies on the most now are two teenagers.

Orochimaru moved his gaze to Uchiha Oya, who was resting in the corner with his eyes closed.

Yu Ye, who is already twelve years old, can be considered a teenager.

I have grown about ten centimeters taller, and my face has lost a lot of childishness.

Next to him, Kurama Qiyue was quietly drawing under the table, but judging from his furrowed brows and clenched teeth, it was probably the level of a child's graffiti.

Not long after the two of them arrived at his unit, they completed the wartime promotion procedures.

Because there was another secret behind the C-level mission in Snake Canyon, the mission level was later upgraded to S-level.

Both of them were promoted at the age of ten and a half because of their military exploits.

Uchiha Oya, rose to jounin.

Kurama Qiyue, promoted to special jounin.

After half a year of fighting success, Kurama Saitsuki was also promoted to jounin at the age of eleven.

Their pendant partner was originally promoted to Chuunin, but when he was fifteen years old, he was finally promoted to Special Jounin.

In addition, Orochimaru also has a dozen jounin in his hands.

But only half of them follow her.

The other half were "conquered" by Yu Ye in a fight at the training center, and those who were rescued on the spot by medical ninjutsu.

"The Sand Ninja's movements have been different recently, and I need to know what they are planning."

At the Orochimaru meeting, he got straight to the point.

The Second Ninja War in Konoha did not go smoothly.

Let’s just talk about dealing with Sand Ninja:

At first, in order to be on guard against Hanzo the Sansho Fish in Yuyin Village, we took some time to take the road.

For the first time after that, he fought the Suna Ninja head-on. Chiyo's constantly changing toxins were a headache. Although he won because of Tsunade's superior medical skills, the Suna Ninja also successfully withstood Konoha's first and most powerful force.

Wave impact.

The battle last year last year, because of the Third Kazekage's attack, the two sides once again persisted until the end of the year.

At the end of the year, Konoha exerted its strength and seemed to suppress the Suna Ninja, but problems also arose——

Since the Sand Ninjas have many puppets, they mostly use them as cannon fodder, so the loss of personnel is not huge.

On the other hand, Konoha, due to the loss of personnel in the war, has now transferred all the people who can fight in the logistics department to the frontal battlefield.

As for the Logistics Department, they have begun to recruit children from the Ninja School who have not yet graduated...

But Orochimaru also knew worse off-site news——

There is a problem with the material supply of the Country of Fire.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country still wanted to expand the map, but the great nobles in the capital saw that Konoha, the so-called first ninja village, had not won a victory in almost two years, and had begun to reject the support of food and iron tools.

From this year to the middle of the year, the supplies received by the front line were only half of those in previous years.

If the war is not resolved this year, maybe next year they will face a difficult situation and need to "recruit food on the spot"...

Now Danzo, with most of his troops, and the Suna ninja were fighting on the plains, gaining a slight upper hand.

Tsunade had to take care of most of the ninjas and lead a team to provide medical support near the plains.

But the Ministry of Intelligence sent news:

The sand ninja sent at least ten elite teams around the plains and disappeared without a trace!

The task of finding the hidden Sand Ninja and figuring out their purpose fell on Orochimaru's head.

A jounin touched his chin and thought: "Now that the Suna ninja are struggling to cope with the frontline, they dare to divide so many elite teams... I guess the plan is not small."

Someone thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that they went to Amegakure Village? Didn't Suna Ninja rob the local nobles last month because he couldn't control his subordinates? Sanshouyu Hanzo was quite angry there, maybe

This time I’m going to negotiate.”

Orochimaru shook his head slightly: "Find them first and then talk."

He glanced at Uchiha Miya: "Miya, you will work in groups of three, and the others, Hejian, Hanzawa, Takakura, and Yuri, will each lead two perception teams. There will be someone from the Intelligence Department to cooperate with you...

....”

After arranging the specific mission location, he continued, "The others stayed at the base camp to ensure the defense and material safety of the position."

…

"Teacher Orochimaru, I don't want to stay behind!"

After the meeting dispersed, Qianju Shengshu, who had just been disqualified from speaking at the meeting, was now indignant.

Especially when I saw that Uchiha Miya, who had stolen her sister's attention, not only went to the most critical mission location, but also acted expediently in a group of three, and was treated better than a more senior jounin!

Looking back on himself, he still looks like a child who is strictly disciplined by his elders!

Obviously he is one or two years older than Uchiha Miya.

Besides, my chuunin strength isn't bad either, right?

If this continues, he will only be pushed further and further away from Uchiha Miya.

Orochimaru was still thinking about the recent strange actions of the Suna Ninja. Hearing this, he said indifferently: "Mist Town is now the base camp. There are countless supplies, and the defense mission is equally important."

Naoki was even more dissatisfied when he saw the teacher's perfunctory approach. He ran two steps forward to stop Orochimaru: "But, I am the man who wants to be Hokage! As a Kage, how can I always cower in the back?!"

As soon as Shengshu finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

The other Kages who participated in the Ninja Village had all taken action on the battlefield.

It seems that only Konoha...

Orochimaru saw the student lower his head, thought for a moment, and said helplessly: "Two hundred miles to the east, I found a team of sand ninjas attacking our border."

Shengshu immediately raised his head and his eyes lit up: "They can actually bypass the front line and still appear in the Country of Fire. They must be very powerful troops, right? Are they the elites who were rumored to be harassing the army's food team?"

Orochimaru nodded hesitantly, which was considered a white lie.

Those who harass the military supply team are naturally elites.

But that was a team like Sakumo Hatake, where experts competed against each other.

What Orochimaru said was that he just couldn't survive on the front line, so he went to the border of the Fire Country to rob the Fire Country's residents, the Sand Ninja Tribe.

With the strength of the rope tree, you should be able to deal with it if you are careful.

However, Orochimaru thought of Ouya's advice to Nasuki and decided to be more prudent: "Pack up and I'll go with you in the afternoon. I can't leave for too long, so I'll try to come back before noon tomorrow."

He touched Naoshu's head and urged with a smile.

Naoki is the younger brother of his friend Tsunade and is also his apprentice. Although his talent is not as good as that of a true genius like Oya, he is hardworking and full of energy. Orochimaru is indeed treated as his own disciple.

Naoki heard that Orochimaru was going with him. Although he regretted the lack of excitement, he was still very happy.

Such a powerful opponent, as long as he makes military exploits, he can catch up with that Uchiha, right?

Can you make your sister pay more attention to you again?

Shengshu gave a thumbs up and said with a confident smile:

"Don't worry, Orochimaru-sensei! I will definitely complete the task well!"

…

"Don't worry, Orochimaru-sensei! I will definitely complete the task well!"

The bright smile of the rope tree is still in front of my eyes.

Orochimaru was breathing rapidly, looking blankly at the messy battlefield in front of him.

He personally took the rope tree to the border to track down the Sand Rebellion tribe.

Unexpectedly, there was a Jonin team among this wave of Suna ninjas.

Orochimaru personally took action against the Jonin team, while Naoki and his teammates successfully wiped out a Chunin team.

The more and more confident Naoshu felt that victory was not difficult, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

Orochimaru taught him not to advance rashly as before.

However, after Naoshu said those words again, he turned around and pursued——

A violent explosion, like rolling thunder.

Orochimaru had just defeated the Jonin team and caught up with him, following behind his disciple, just a few steps!

When he realized something was wrong and wanted to warn him, his voice was buried by the explosion.

He could only watch helplessly as the disciple who said he wanted to be Hokage was as fragile as grass and grass, shattering before his eyes...
