Chapter 96 Desperate 3 Lang

"That's the situation. I came back after my injury improved a little!"

In the Hokage's office, Orochimaru stood in front of his desk and gave an overview of the outing.

And sitting in front of him was not only the Hokage, but also the other three high-level officials of Konoha. This kind of matter was related to the Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village. It was not enough to report it to the Hokage. The other high-level officials must also be present.

"You mean the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki disappeared after both of you were defeated?"

Koharu was the first to ask when he went to bed. Although the older generation of ninjas had experienced the First World War, at that time, the villages had not yet tamed the jinchūriki and had not entered the battlefield.

I don't have a concrete idea of ​​the destructive power of the jinchūriki on the battlefield, I just know that it is very strong.

Moreover, jinchūriki can also be strong or weak. Those like Mizukage Yagura or Vulpix Yuki who can only simply use the power of tailed beasts are not much stronger.

They might still be afraid of simple tailed beasts, but not necessarily Jinchuriki. Looking at Naruto in the future, he will be manipulated every minute.

"Absolutely. If the four-tailed Jinchuuriki hadn't left for something, and the two of them had joined forces, I would have had a hard time escaping!"

Orochimaru looked at the elders in front of him solemnly, and spoke seriously.

He can't say that he can defeat two Jinchuuriki. Not to mention whether this shocking news will be believed by anyone, if this is really the case, these old guys in Konoha should be afraid.

Not to mention the will of fire, Orochimaru doesn't have that kind of thing. Do you want to restrain him in exchange for benefits and become an elder for him? Be a Hokage? Obviously it's impossible.

"You go back to recuperate first. Don't leave the village during this period. You may be summoned at any time."

The Third Hokage finally asked Orochimaru to step back first. There was no emotion in his eyes, and the other three elders did not open their mouths to embarrass him.

Looking at Orochimaru's back as he slowly left, a deep meaning appeared in the eyes of the Third Hokage, and he smoked cigarettes more frequently in his hand.

"Hiruzen, what do you think? How credible is Orochimaru's words?"

As soon as Orochimaru's figure disappeared, Mito Katoyan broke the silence.

Orochimaru is, after all, a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi. If you understand him, he must be the teacher who has the most say.

"I think he seems to be hiding something?"

Regardless of what others thought, Danzo was the first to speak his mind.

He didn't believe that Orochimaru would have such a high level of consciousness and serve Konoha wholeheartedly without any selfish motives. If it were him, Danzo would be fine.

Although he doesn't know Orochimaru as well as Sarutobi Hiruzen, he has worked with Orochimaru for so long, and he knows more or less that Orochimaru is a master who can't catch rabbits without letting go of hawks. When did he become a desperate Saburo?

If he randomly accepted a mission and went out to fight with a Jinchuriki, a normal person would have run away immediately. Look at Jiraiya's team, how could they stay and fight to the death.

"No matter what he hides, judging from the results, it will be beneficial to Konoha. Everyone has selfish motives. As long as he does not do anything that harms Konoha's interests, he is the hero."

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled heavily. He felt that he could not see through his disciple more and more, especially since he had been secretive in everything he did after hanging out with Danzo all these years.

Thinking of this, he looked at Danzo meaningfully, and Danzo also met his sharp eyes, but he quickly withdrew his gaze, perhaps because of a guilty conscience.

"Hmph! If Orochimaru does something outrageous, I will be responsible for eradicating Konoha borers. Needless to say, I will be the first to let him go!"

Danzo said it in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and it sounded like this was the case. It was really the thief's cry to catch the thief.

"This matter requires the collection of more intelligence before we can draw a conclusion. Now that the jinchuriki problem has been solved, we need to make new plans."

Moving on to the topic of Orochimaru that Koharu had skipped, the next step was to adjust the layout of the front line.

Orochimaru's expression relaxed after leaving the Hokage Building. The original solemn look was gone, followed by a look of contentment.

Wherever there are any internal injuries, they are just lies to fool people. Orochimaru is not afraid of being seen through by a few elders. So what if they are seen through? He has actually made a contribution.

If he is not allowed to leave the village, he will not leave. Fighting and killing people all day long is the most boring thing. It is more comfortable to do research in the village.

You can give him the face of other high-level officials, but you have to give him the face of a teacher!

The most important thing is that his body is a mirror clone he just obtained, and his real body is still wandering outside with Honglian.

As he had guessed, after he separated this clone, Orochimaru's body fell into unprecedented weakness, and it was difficult to even move his fingers.

This is not a clone, it has drained 99% of his vitality!

Fortunately, there was no life-threatening situation. He just had to lie down for a few days as if he had a serious illness, waiting for the chakra to gradually recover.

The clone also stayed with the main body for two days before coming back, but it didn't waste time and could just teach the little guy.

After the clone returned to Konoha, he met the Hokage immediately. Even the Hokage, who had watched Orochimaru grow up, couldn't see anything strange about Orochimaru's body, let alone other people.

Not long after, Orochimaru returned to Tsunade's residence. As soon as he opened the door, a little head stuck out from the kitchen.

"Ah...Uncle!"

Shizune trotted over quickly and threw herself into Orochimaru's arms.

"Okay, okay! You are such a big person now."

Orochimaru rubbed his head. This was no longer the crying little girl.

"I heard that you went to the battlefield, and the teacher and I were worried to death."

Shizune let go of Orochimaru with some embarrassment, her eyes full of concern. Although Orochimaru had disappeared for a long time in the past, it was during peacetime and there was no war.

But it was different now. Many familiar faces around her went to the battlefield and failed to come back. This made Shizune, who had never seen the dangers of the battlefield, feel the horror of losing the war harvester for the first time.

"I heard that you were promoted to chuunin? I thought you were also on the front line."

As he said that, Orochimaru closed the door and walked into the courtyard. When he heard this topic, a bright smile first appeared on Shizune's face, and then gradually disappeared.

Orochimaru chuckled lightly when he saw the speed of her face change in Peking Opera:

"What? Aren't you happy to be promoted to Chunin?"

Orochimaru pinched her little cheek. As the little girl grew up, her face was not as easy to pinch as she was when she was little!

"Just because I was promoted to chuunin, I will go to the battlefield in two days. The teacher also said that I will go to the logistics as a medical ninja to gain experience. If you come back two days later, you won't be able to see me!"

Shizune said reluctantly, not knowing whether it was because Orochimaru came back late or because he was on the battlefield.

"Haha... you are already a little adult, it's time to go out and see the world!"

Ignoring her grumbling look, Orochimaru walked straight to the kitchen. Before he could get closer, another voice came out.

"Sister Shizune, who is here?"
