Chapter 22: Information Brought by Hatake Sakumo
However, compared to Scorch Release, it is obvious that the Uchiha Mirror in front of him is more attractive to Orochimaru.
After several people left, he used the summoning snake to notify his subordinates in Konoha Village and collected more detailed information about Uchiha Kagami.
Before this, he only knew that this kid was an Uchiha who had opened the three magatama very early.
He had seen the Three-magatama Sharingan before, but it was just so-so, neither good nor bad.
However, this kid's eye power obviously far exceeds that of the ordinary three magatama. Orochimaru even suspects that he has opened the legendary Mangekyo!
Uchiha Kagami did not deliberately hide his information.
He had superb Uchiha swordsmanship, and used his pupil power to help seal the Nine-Tails when it went berserk. He also mastered the A-level ninjutsu developed by Minato Namikaze in just two days...
Ninja illusion, triathlon!
In addition, he also has an invisible slashing attack whose power is comparable to his bloodline limit.
Coupled with his cold and decisive personality, such a person...
Unless he is crushed by hard power, even Orochimaru can't think of a strategy to defeat him.
Poisoning and sneak attacks are just a joke under the watchful eyes of the Sharingan.
If I summon ten thousand snakes, can I defeat him?
Orochimaru has even considered using his trump card.
"What is the upper limit of Jing-kun's ninjutsu that killed Ye Cang?"
"I have no intention of exploring the secrets of your ninjutsu. I just want to arrange the subsequent tasks."
Uchiha Jing thought for a while and said, "If the opponent is not prepared, it should be possible to kill the elite jonin."
"Strictly speaking, even the Hokage is only an elite jonin..." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it really okay to use this ability of first sight killing so soon?"
"Ninjutsu is developed to be used."
"What's there to hide, Lord Orochimaru? I advise you not to take this ninjutsu too seriously." Uchiha Kagami looked at Orochimaru with interest, his tone sounding like a senior educating a junior.
"By the time you figured out how to defend against this technique, I would have already updated it several times."
……
"This is the calmness of a genius..."
Orochimaru didn't feel offended, quietly ended the topic, and said: "Minato-kun... Why do you think the Sand Village suddenly increased its infiltration into the Land of Fire?"
"According to the known intelligence, they seem to be looking for someone. Who is it that is worthy of such a big fight?"
……
"It's the Sandaime Kazekage."
It wasn't Jing who was speaking, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal such news to himself.
A bloodstained silver-haired man suddenly appeared after opening the curtain of the command room.
"Brother Sakumo!"
"Hatake-senpai!"
Even Orochimaru was shocked and noticed the dense wounds on Hatake Sakumo's body.
The worst part was the wrist, where half of the palm was cut!
Hatake Sakumo's face turned pale, and his eyes fell on the stunned Kakashi.
"Long time no see, Kakashi."
Bang!
Kakashi couldn't hold back his emotions and threw himself into Hatake Sakumo's arms, sobbing silently.
His intact hand gently patted Kakashi's back, and Hatake Sakumo's eyes were full of kindness.
There is also guilt.
No matter what, Kakashi is just a child. It is wrong to abandon him and run away like this.
After a touching meeting between father and son, Orochimaru asked the key question.
"Brother Sakumo, what do you mean by the Third Kazekage?"
Suddenly, a ninja from the Nara clan rushed in without notifying anyone. The news was so explosive that he had to tell Orochimaru as soon as possible.
"Lord Orochimaru! Information about Yamanaka En! They are looking for the missing Third Kazekage..."
"Uh……"
He glanced around and saw Hatake Sakumo.
Orochimaru frowned and pointed at him: "Guard the door and don't let anyone in."
"Brother Sakumo, please continue."
Compared to the information in the minds of those Sand Village ninjas, Orochimaru cares more about the information that Hatake Sakumo can bring.
He was also very curious about who could have hurt Hatake Sakumo so badly.
"I met Scorpion of the Sunagakure, the grandson of Chiyo."
"I've heard of a genius puppeteer."
Without going into the details of the explanation, Hatake Sakumo's next words caused the scene to fall into a deathly silence.
"He assassinated the Third Kazekage and transformed both himself and the Third Kazekage into human puppets."
"I had a fight with him, and we both suffered heavy losses. He got away."
……
……
"So that's how it is..." Kakashi looked at his father's bruised body and changed his mind.
"Then as long as we explain this to Sunagakure, they will give up the war and go after Scorpion!"
Kakashi was the only one so naive.
Orochimaru shook his head: "Without the puppet corpse of the Third Kazekage, the Sand Village will not believe it."
"They will only think that we killed not only the Kazekage, but also the Scorpion of the Red Sand."
"It's useless even if they believe it." Minato's mind worked quickly.
"Granny Chiyo is a smart person. When she learns of this news, she will claim that it is a divisive plot by Konoha to destroy the unity of Sunagakure."
"It will only devote more forces to the war, from searching for the Third Kazekage to seeking revenge on Konoha for the Kazekage."
Uchiha Jing chuckled and looked at Kakashi: "The best way to divert internal conflicts is to turn them into external conflicts."
It's not just his talent in ninjutsu, Kakashi feels like his IQ has also been crushed.
Noticing his frustration, Hatake Sakumo rubbed his head.
"It's up to you how to make the arrangements. I'm just telling you the news before I leave."
"Before leaving...Father, where are you going?!"
Hatake Sakumo sighed and said with a wry smile: "The Red Sand Scorpion's target is me. As long as I leave the Land of Fire, he will chase me too."
The most important thing is that he was afraid that Scorpion of the Red Sand would attack Kakashi. A guy who dared to assassinate the Kazekage and succeeded... was too dangerous.
Orochimaru frowned, "There's no need to exchange. In my opinion, Brother Sakumo is more important than the Third Kazekage and the Red Sand Scorpion."
"I can put it into practice. With your information, I can completely eliminate the impact of your previous departure."
To be fair, Orochimaru hopes that Hatake Sakumo will return to Konoha. In the early years on the battlefield, the three of them received a lot of care from Hatake Sakumo.
After Hatake Sakumo left, Tsunade was so angry that she ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even he and Jiraiya had complaints about the Third Hokage.
Anyone with common sense can see what happened at that time.
Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'm used to my current life. It feels good to be free."
"Is that so..." Orochimaru did not force it and chose to respect Hatake Sakumo's choice.
"Father! I also..."
Hatake Sakumo stopped Kakashi from saying the next thing, lowered his head to look him in the eye, and smiled gently: "Wait until you grow up to be a ninja who can stand on your own, then make your own decision."
He turned to look at Minato and Kagami: "Minato-kun, Kagami-kun, please take good care of me. I am relieved that Kakashi can follow you."
"Sakumo-senpai, I will definitely protect Kakashi." Minato nodded firmly.
Apart from Kushina, Konoha was the most important thing in Minato's eyes, and he respected this great ninja who had devoted most of his life to Konoha.
Uchiha Kagami turned his gaze to Orochimaru, "Now that you know this information, what do you plan to do, Lord Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru licked subconsciously with his long tongue, and said grimly: "Of course, we should take advantage of the fact that the Sand Village is leaderless and beat them up hard!"
"A very wise choice." Uchiha Jing nodded with satisfaction. If it were the old men in the village, they might discuss using this information to negotiate peace with the Sand Village.
