Chapter 1145 Attacking Uchiha
At least it’s not the time for Uzumaki Naruto to be captured yet.
"I'll have someone inform you when Team 7 departs. Be prepared in the next few days." After saying that, Okamoto Dousuke signaled Might Guy that he could leave first.
After Might Guy left, Asuma Sarutobi knocked on the door and came in.
"Hokage-sama!!" After Sarutobi Asuma walked into the office room, he respectfully saluted Okamoto Dousuke.
No matter what Asuma Sarutobi's identity was in the past, he is now just a village jonin, and he still has to show due respect to the village Hokage.
"Yeah!" Okamoto Dousuke nodded softly.
"I don't know, Lord Hokage, this time it is..." Asuma Sarutobi looked at Okamoto Dousuke in confusion.
Okamoto Dousuke didn't say anything, but looked Asuma Sarutobi up and down.
Just when Asuma Sarutobi was confused.
Okamoto Dousuke's gaze fell on Sarutobi Asuma's waist.
On the right side of Asuma Sarutobi's waist, there was a triangular apron with the word "fire" written on it wrapped around his waist.
"Asuma, I remember that you were once one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Land of Fire." Okamoto Dousuke shifted his gaze from Asuma Sarutobi's waist and looked up at his bearded face.
"Yes!" Asuma Sarutobi nodded.
Everyone has witnessed that he once became one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas in the Land of Fire.
"That's easy. There's something I need you to run." Okamoto Dousuke said to Asuma Sarutobi.
"I wonder what that Hokage is?" asked Asuma Sarutobi.
"In the Fire Temple of the Land of Fire, there is something that once belonged to Konoha, but has since been kept in the Fire Temple."
"So I need you to go to the Fire Temple and find Master Lu, the abbot of the Fire Temple who is guarding the Twelve Ninjas like you. Get that thing back." Okamoto Dousuke said.
"In the Fire Temple?"
"But..." After hearing what Okamoto Dousuke said, Sarutobi Asuma paused briefly.
"The Fire Temple has always been the burial place of successive daimyos of the Land of Fire. So..." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Asuma Sarutobi's rough face.
Seeing the expression on Asuma Sarutobi's face, Dousuke Okamoto immediately understood.
The Fire Temple has always been the temple of the royal family and nobles of the Fire Kingdom.
After the death of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, his ashes would be enshrined in the Fire Temple.
Therefore, everything in the Fire Temple belongs to the royal family.
But now Okamoto Dousuke wants Sarutobi Asuma to ask Dilu, the chief of the Land of Fire, for the collections of the Fire Temple.
Although he and Di Lu have a good personal relationship, even so, Asuma does not think that Di Lu can cooperate with him.
It seemed that he saw the dilemma Asuma Sarutobi was in.
Okamoto Dousuke said, "Don't worry, I have already communicated with the Lord of the Land of Fire, His Highness Shin Kagami Nakata."
"Just go find the abbot of the Fire Temple and he will give the thing to you," explained Okamoto Dousuke.
Hearing this, Asuma Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that I was just asked to run errands.
If that's the case, it's pretty simple.
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama, I promise to complete the task." Asuma Sarutobi answered with his voice quietly getting louder.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Asuma." After saying that, Okamoto Dousuke waved his hand and asked Sarutobi Asuma to get ready.
After making the arrangements, Okamoto Dousuke leaned back in his chair.
He crossed his hands together, then raised them high, stretched lazily and let out a long breath.
"Next is Kumogakure!!" Okamoto Dousuke thought to himself.
A few days later.
Under the arrangement of Dousuke Okamoto, the new Team 7 consisting of Yamato, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Sai set out from Konoha again and headed towards the Land of Rice Fields.
In the Land of Fields, in a secret underground base.
In the dim underground passage, a young man in an open-fronted yukata was walking.
Wow! !
The door was opened.
The door opened, bringing in a gust of wind.
The candlelight in the room suddenly became flickering.
The shadow of the young man was swaying on the wall.
"You're back, Sasuke!!" In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man with his hands wrapped in thick bandages leaned in a chair and looked weakly towards the door.
This frail middle-aged man was none other than Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas who defected from Konoha and organized the plan to collapse Konoha.
"Ok!"
"These are the supplies we snatched back this time." Uchiha Sasuke nodded indifferently.
Then he took out a sealing scroll from his arms.
The sealed scroll contains the various goods that Uchiha Sasuke looted during this trip.
Because the Sound Ninja are currently short of funds, not only Uchiha Sasuke, but also the Sound Four and others often go to rob merchants.
The looted goods can be sold for money, and can also be used to force the merchants of Sound Village to hire ninjas from Sound Village.
Swish!
Uchiha Sasuke casually threw the scroll in his hand to Orochimaru who was sitting on the chair.
Looking at the scroll thrown towards him.
Orochimaru didn't even blink.
Still sitting upright in the chair, without moving at all.
Whoosh!
A stream of golden slime flew out from the side.
Stick to the scroll in mid-air.
Quick retraction.
"Hmph, Uchiha Sasuke, how dare you be rude to Lord Orochimaru." A sharp voice sounded, with a bit of anger and a bit of flattery.
Da da! !
Light footsteps sounded.
A familiar figure appeared in the light.
The person who came was still holding the scroll that Uchiha Sasuke had just thrown out.
Because I was in a corner, I couldn't see the identity of the person clearly.
But when the person walked out of the darkness, Uchiha Sasuke also saw the identity of the person clearly.
Kidomaru, one of the Four Sound-Ninjas.
The golden slime just now was the spider slime that Kidomaru made using his special ability.
"Kidomaru, just take care of yourself." Uchiha Sasuke replied indifferently.
"You bastard!!" Kidomaru immediately glared at Uchiha Sasuke.
The scene suddenly became very tense.
It seems like Kidomaru and Uchiha Sasuke will start fighting in the next second.
"Cough cough cough!!"
"Enough, do you two want to start a fight with me?" accompanied by a violent cough.
Orochimaru shouted in a loud voice.
"Lord Orochimaru, I dare not!" Hearing Orochimaru's scolding, Kidomaru immediately put on a different expression.
Then he stepped forward and handed the scroll he had just snatched from Uchiha to Orochimaru.
"Hmph!" Orochimaru snorted coldly.
Then he looked at the scroll that Kidomaru handed over.
After a quick check, Orochimaru's face was filled with a smile.
