Chapter 95 The dragon lurks in the abyss, waiting for the clouds to gather

While Orochimaru was traveling around various countries, Konoha and Iwagakure were already fighting back and forth.

As time went by, Lao Zi also returned to the Land of Earth, and immediately told the Iwagakure ninja he met about the original encounter.

Although Lao Zi and their Tsuchikage couldn't deal with it, the Iwagakure ninja still respected this powerful senior.

When the Iwagakure ninja learned what happened, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately took Lao Zi back to the village to report to Ohnoki face to face.

But Lao Zi didn't want to die. He was afraid of Ohnoki, not because of his strength, but because he was worried that the old guy would continue to send him to the battlefield.

When the time comes, life and death will not be up to him, and he might be the next Han.

The Iwagakure ninja also knew that he could not force it, so he could only rush back to Iwagakure Village to report to the Tsuchikage.

after one day.

"What? Lao Zi actually ran away? Han still doesn't know whether he's alive or dead?"

Onoki slapped the table, looked at the ninja kneeling in front of him and said angrily. At the same time, his short figure floated in front of the ninja and grabbed his collar.

"Lord Tsuchikage...according to what Senior Zi said, the situation should be correct. Our ninjas also discovered that battlefield!"

The ninja was trembling with fear, but no matter how harsh the words were, he could only tell the truth.

"Orochimaru!! I didn't expect Konoha to have such strong fighting power!"

The furious Onoki hated Orochimaru so much that he immediately disabled two biological weapons in their village. Now that they are fine, they can only fight Konoha with bayonets.

"Sending additional manpower must be returned!"

The Anbu ninjas on the side quickly went down to make arrangements after receiving the order. Fortunately, they were not fighting alone. There were also two allies, the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Thunder, who had the same purpose.

Without the jinchūriki, the Iwagakure ninjas on the front line made adjustments and no longer dared to attack so aggressively.

And this news was heard by the ninjas of Konoha not long after.

"Orochimaru disappeared for so long, I didn't expect that he encountered the two Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure."

Hiruzen clicked his pipe and said, his expression also a little surprised.

"It is said that the fight was fierce. I don't know what the situation is now."

"Hmph! How could Orochimaru contain two tailed beasts? They might have been killed."

Mito Kadoyan on the side answered, while Danzo was a little suspicious. Orochimaru was still valuable, and he didn't want Orochimaru to die so quickly!

In their impression, although Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas, it is obviously impossible to fight against two jinchūriki on his own.

Didn't you see that Jiraiya's team ran away as soon as they met him? Orochimaru could survive a few attacks at most.

How did they know that Orochimaru was hiding so deeply? He was hiding in the abyss, waiting for the clouds to gather, and a tiger hiding in the forest, waiting for the wind to rise!

"Didn't the intelligence say that both he and the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki have lost information? Maybe both sides will suffer losses!"

After turning to bed, Xiaochun also intervened. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was thoughtful.

This news came from Konoha's spies stationed in the Earth Kingdom, and it was too specific to find out.

But no matter what, this news is very important to them. They are not thinking about Orochimaru's safety. Maybe the third generation will be a little worried.

As for the others, they are all thinking about how to fight a good battle without the jinchūriki participating in the war!

"The team responsible for dealing with the Jinchuuriki remains on standby. The Earth Kingdom front can relax a little, and the extra manpower can be sent to the Thunder Kingdom front."

Naruto was the first to break the atmosphere of silence. The pressure of starting a war with two big countries at the same time was really high. He did not plan to take the opportunity to counterattack the Earth Kingdom, but took defensive measures.

"Hiruzen, we should take the opportunity to attack the Earth Country."

Danzo jumped out to sing the opposite at the wrong time. As a Konoha hawk, he has always been relatively radical, and casualties were just a number to him.

Danzo, who was eager to express himself, didn't care about this. He also planned to take advantage of the war to gain as much benefit as possible.

Only Danzo, who held the root, could speak loudly to the Hokage with such confidence. The other two elders who had no real power did not participate in the argument between the two.

"The current situation focuses on stability, and the battlefield in the Kingdom of Thunder is the top priority. You can't interfere in this issue!"

The Hokage also insisted on his own opinion without retreating. War is not a child's play and cannot be done according to one's temper.

However, the Hokage didn't say anything for sure. The Hokage could take over power and manage it, or he could decentralize and balance it, but he couldn't be his own boss. What kind of meeting could he have? So he spoke again:

"You can go to the Earth Kingdom front line to supervise the battle. The specific form is up to you. Anyway, there is no room for failure on the front line!"

Seeing the old man take a step back, Danzo, although he was still a little dissatisfied, stopped speaking. It would be great if he had a reason to intervene. When the time comes, he would not be able to accept the foreign military orders, and it was not him who had the final say.

Danzo, who had already made a plan in his mind, had already thought about how to gain benefits from this battle. Let alone making war fortune, it was justifiable to take the opportunity to expand the strength of the root.

Soon after, news spread among the Konoha ninjas that Orochimaru single-handedly defeated the two Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village.

I don’t know if this news was deliberately spread by someone. It was normal at first, but as time went by, the news gradually became outrageous.

There are already new versions of boats in the mouths of civilians, such as:

"Hey, I heard that Orochimaru killed two monsters from the Earth Kingdom, giving us Konoha a great victory!"

A certain aunt said with confidence, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, with full confidence.

Another example:

"You are behind on this news. My second cousin is on the front line. He told me that Orochimaru not only disrupted the offensive of Iwagakure Village, but also severely damaged the Tsuchikage!"

"I have already said that among the three ninjas, Orochimaru is the most promising..."

Topics like this abound, and Konoha's top management has not come out to refute the rumors. This topic has relieved the tense atmosphere in the village recently.

At the same time, it also boosted morale in disguise, and the ninjas who knew the truth also had more confidence in this war.

And a person who appeared not long after seemed to confirm the villagers' suspicions, bringing the discussion among Konoha residents to a climax.

"Lord... Orochimaru-sama, are you back?"

Orochimaru, who had put on the Konoha forehead protector again, had just arrived at the entrance of the village when two ninjas guarding the gate greeted him.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong?"

Orochimaru looked at the two of them with some confusion. Although he was not used to walking through the door, he wouldn't be so surprised, right?

Without thinking much, Orochimaru walked slowly into the village. The civilians he met along the way looked at him with admiration, which made him a little confused.

"Why don't you just go out? Why are everyone looking at you like an idol? There is no one in Konoha? Have you become a life-saver?"

With confusion, Orochimaru quickly came to the Hokage building to report the situation to the Hokage.
