Chapter 474: Staying up late at night, no wonder my wife beat me up

You really don't understand the hard work of the elderly.

However, old man Black Zetsu could only keep his complaints in his heart and couldn't complain to anyone.

He will only choose to confess everything when his mission is completed.

Before this, he was nominally a grandson.

In fact, Nagato, Obito, and even Uchiha Madara are all chess pieces in his hands.

You treat me as your grandson, but in fact you are just a chess piece in my hands, it's that simple.

Black Zetsu couldn't guarantee whether he could find Obito's eyes.

He could only try his best to find clues and relevant information.

As for digging out Yan's secret, that's even more ridiculous.

Black Zetsu can't even get too close to Yan, otherwise he will risk being discovered.

Under Ohnoki's gnashing anger, Konoha's elite troops successfully evacuated from the Land of Earth and returned to the border camp along the route of the Land of Rain.

The camp was greeted with cheers, and Fugaku and Hiashi, who were in charge of the camp, breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been living in fear these days, fearing that bad news would come, but fortunately their worries did not come true.

The village's elite troops retreated smoothly.

Apart from the negligible losses, Konoha made a huge profit this time.

Not to mention the resources plundered from the Land of Earth, just take Orochimaru as an example. This guy is extremely ruthless.

He stole a large sum of money from the Land of Earth.

Although he could only get a part of the money, it was still a considerable asset for him who was penniless.

At least enough for his laboratory to squander for a long time.

Recently, Orochimaru has been doing some weird research, and even Yan has no idea. Fortunately, he sticks to Yan's bottom line.

If you stay in the village, just be obedient.

If you want to do something messy, then leave Konoha, leave the Land of Fire, and go out there.

When we get outside, I won't care even if you, Orochimaru, make a scene.

But you can't mess around in Konoha and the Land of Fire.

If you abide by this bottom line, it will be good for you, for me and for everyone. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences.

"This mission went more smoothly than expected, and the damage to the village was minimal."

Fugaku appeared quite happy, and even Hiashi, who was used to having a stern face, had a faint smile on his face.

"........"

I really don’t know why you are so happy. Isn’t this the inevitable result?

Orochimaru drank his tea in silence, too lazy to respond.

He, Fugaku and Hiashi are not the same kind of people, and they can't talk to each other.

"Yes."

With a faint smile on his face, Hiashi echoed:

"The counterattack that the Iwagakure imagined did not occur. The blind harassment tactics and small-scale combat will only lead to greater losses for them."

"That's because the main force of the Iwagakure was dragged to the battlefield of Taki no Kuni, and coupled with Yan's intimidation, the Iwagakure did not launch a big counterattack."

Orochimaru, who couldn't bear to listen any longer, spoke up. He put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head speechlessly:

“Don’t underestimate Ohnoki, he’s scary, much scarier than we thought.

The Iwagakure Village is not a village that is afraid of sacrifice. If the main force had not been held up, and if the threat brought by Yan had not been too great, I am afraid the village would have suffered great losses. "

Orochimaru, who experienced the Third Ninja World War personally, knew very well how difficult Ōnoki was and how terrifying the war potential of the Iwagakure was.

Unfortunately, Fugaku and Hiashi didn't quite understand these because they had no personal experience.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Hiashi didn't even leave the village.

Fugaku did take the Uchiha ninjas to participate in the war with the Mist Village.

The difference is that the war between Konoha and the Mist Village is mainly small-scale combat.

And the Iwagakure...fully displayed the horror of the ninja army.

The scene of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of earth-style ninjas gathering together to perform joint earth-style ninjutsu is terrifying.

Don’t look at the records of Konoha, the two sides fought back and forth and the battle was fierce.

In fact, the real situation at that time was that Konoha was suppressed and chased by the Iwagakure.

There isn't much room left to fight back.

We can only deal with it through various means, relying on manpower to slow down the pace of the war.

Then Minato rose to power, and Konoha had some time and opportunity to catch its breath.

Coupled with the death of the Third Raikage, the Cloud Village fell into rage and was likely to start a war at any time.

Faced with the threat from the Cloud Village, Ōnoki was forced to hastily end the war with Konoha.

"Anyway, you don't want to see the Iwagakure ninja army go out."

Orochimaru showed a half-smile on his face, which made Fugaku and Hiashi unsure of Orochimaru's intention. Was he reminding them or teasing them?

Orochimaru's words were like a bucket of cold water, which dampened the excitement and happiness of Hiashi and Fugaku.

What made the two speechless and uncomfortable was that Orochimaru poured cold water on them, and after they calmed down, he threw out a sweet date.

He just smiled, stood up and walked outside.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, Konoha is not what it was during the Third Ninja World War.

Apart from anything else, the existence of Yan Jun is enough to intimidate the Iwagakure, making it so that the Iwagakure will not dare to start a large-scale war easily."

"Sharingan....terrible power."

Recalling the Susanoo that was like a mountain in the dark night, burning with golden flames, Orochimaru admitted that he was moved.

He couldn't help but think of the pie that had been promised to him before.

According to the vision that Yan had drawn, Sasuke would reach this level sooner or later and possess the same power as Yan.

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

"Is this guy okay?"

Fugaku and Hiashi looked at each other. They both felt that Orochimaru was becoming more and more nervous. He kept talking to himself, muttering something.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us. Send a message to the village."

There is no need for the two to worry too much about what kind of person Orochimaru becomes. Instead of worrying about Orochimaru's personal situation, it is better to do their own job well.

Now that the elite troops have returned to the camp, they still need to wait for the village’s arrangements.

At night, Yan handed the processed documents and scrolls to Quan who had already begun to doze off, and he could finally go home from get off work.

"Quan, wait, we..."

Yan was still planning to wait for Izumi to come home and roll in bed, but unexpectedly, some unpleasant footsteps gradually approached.

Judging from the rhythm of the footsteps, the person coming seems to be in a hurry.

This guy Lu Jiu, is he still not asleep in the middle of the night?

No wonder your wife always has a bad temper and likes to beat you up no matter what. It would be strange for your wife to be happy with your bad behavior of not coming home late at night.

Complaining silently in his heart, Yan, who had already stood up, could only sit back down and wait for Shikaku's arrival.

A few seconds later, the door to the Hokage's office opened.

Anxious Shikaku ran in without even knocking.

"Assistant, the news from the front camp is that the elite troops have returned to the camp successfully. The two clan leaders, Uchiha and Hyuga, sent a message, wanting to know what the village's next plan is."

Although he worked overtime until late at night, Shikaku was still very energetic.

Because good news came from the front-line camp.

"It's so late, why don't you go back to rest? Won't your sister-in-law blame you?"

Yan took the scroll handed to him by Shikaku and teased him.

"???"

That's what you said.

Lu Jiu was stunned, and straightened his back:

"How could your sister-in-law blame me? I'm here for work. Besides, at home, I have the final say!"

"Yes, yes, you're the best. I almost believed you."

Yan couldn't help but laugh.

If Nara Shikaku hadn't been often beaten by his wife, he would have almost believed this nonsense.

"Pfft~~~"

Izumi couldn't help but laugh as he sorted out the documents and scrolls.

She was also very clear about Shikaku's status in the family, so Shikaku's tough statement successfully made her laugh.

"Why, my words are not trustworthy?"

When the time comes, no matter what the family status is, at least you have to do enough work to save your face.

Look, Lu Jiu is still very tough.

Yan smiled and opened the scroll. While looking at the contents of the scroll, he said:

"That's perfect. Someone suggested finding you another wife before, and I have a suitable candidate here. How about I help you pass on the message, and we can find a time to get it done?"
