Chapter 169 Master and Disciple’s Reaction

Two days later in the morning, Uchiha Gen was handling military affairs as usual.

"Master Xuan, urgent news from Konoha."

Outside the tent, the leader of Konoha's frontline communications squad bowed slightly.

"Come in."

In the tent, Gen Uchiha raised his head slightly and said calmly.

The monitor of the communications squad entered the tent and walked to the desk. He handed over the scroll with the secret language translated with both hands. Gen Uchiha took the scroll and opened it to read.

Huh, he thought it was an emergency, but this is it?

The food appearance is really ugly!

"Go summon the Jonin. There is something important to announce. I'll go find Master Orochimaru."

"Yes, Master Xuan."

Although the ninja in front of him is the communications squad leader, he doesn't know the specific content of the scroll.

Only the ninja responsible for translating the secret language in the entire communications class knows about it. If the information is leaked, it will be easier to hold accountable.

After the communications squad leader left, Uchiha Gen took the scroll and instantly disappeared into the tent. When he reappeared, he was already in a research base.

He walked along the slightly dim passage and arrived at a brightly lit laboratory. Orochimaru was wearing a white research suit and rubber gloves preparing medicine.

"Is there a problem?"

"Someone's picking peaches."

Uchiha Gen leaned against the door frame and threw the scroll over.

Hiss, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and wrapped it around the scroll. After patiently arranging the potion, he took off his rubber gloves, took out the scroll, opened it and read it.

"Ho ho... I'm really here to pick peaches."

"This is really high-sounding rhetoric." Orochimaru sneered.

Although he no longer has much obsession with the position of Hokage, the profound meaning behind such a move is that he does not want him to be Hokage.

As his own teacher, he had lived and died for Konoha for so many years, and in the end, this was the result, which really chilled him!

"It's true that a high-sounding official speaks better than he sings." Uchiha Gen's mouth curled up slightly and he said sarcastically.

The entire scroll is full of praise for Orochimaru and him, and it greatly affirms their abilities, so they put more burdens on him and encourage them to make new achievements.

The short-sighted ninja may have been deceived by the complimentary words on the scroll, and felt that the Hokage and the higher-ups in Konoha really valued them, so they were transferred to a place where they could make great contributions again.

However, Orochimaru and Uchiha Gen don't say how smart they are, but they are definitely not stupid. No matter how they try to hide it, they can't change the essence of picking peaches.

"Teacher Orochimaru, what do you think?"

"Should we comply, or..."

"Ho ho... you are so brave, kid."

"Do you still want to disobey the Hokage's order?" Orochimaru winked.

Uchiha Gen crossed his arms, half-smiling but not smiling, and said meaningfully: "Of course I can't disobey Lord Hokage's orders, but I can make a fuss about the new commander."

"As long as he can't come, the order will be invalid."

"As long as you have this intention, teacher, I will immediately go to the money exchange and spend a lot of money."

"There are still some strong people in the black market. They may have scruples about taking the new commander's life, but they still dare to beat him half to death."

Orochimaru smiled happily and said: "I appreciate your kindness, teacher, but I still forget it."

"Shinnosuke and I have a pretty good relationship. At the same time, it's the last time we can give the teacher some face. There's no need to get to that point."

"Then this secret loss is in vain?"

"In my opinion, the Sarutobi clan is trying to gain political capital for Shinnosuke so that he can ascend to the position of Hokage."

"Although I don't think he can be Hokage, I definitely won't do it if I suffer a loss in vain." Gen Uchiha said with a displeased look on his face.

He has always scorned the phrase "suffering a loss is a blessing". This phrase is nothing more than a lie made up by the ancient ruling class to maintain their rule.

To put it lightly, when their interests are harmed, they jump harder than anyone else!

"Shinnosuke's ability is okay, but his strength is average."

This generally refers to the fact that compared to a shadow-level powerhouse like Orochimaru, Sarutobi Shinnosuke still has the strength of an elite jounin, otherwise he would not be qualified to be the ANBU minister.

"The Sarutobi clan is daydreaming."

"Even if Shinnosuke ends the war with Kirigakure and Kumogakure in succession and his reputation increases greatly, he is still not qualified."

"His strength simply cannot convince the public!"

Gen Uchiha nodded slightly.

The leaders of the five major ninja villages, no, all the ninja villages, even if they are not the strongest in the ninja village, they must at least be the top strong men in the ninja village.

Elite jounin can only barely be considered the second batch in Konoha. The reason why it is called barely is because there are still a few people in Konoha whose strength is between Kage level and elite jounin.

For example, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hizatsu are somewhat stronger than the elite jounin, but they are not at the Kage level.

Elite jounin are not much better than ordinary jounin, there is no qualitative difference.

Such a ninja who becomes Hokage is not equal to other Kages at all, and will be born shorter.

Although ninjas follow various rules and regulations, they are a group with extraordinary power after all, and they also follow the principle of respecting the strong.

In the original book, for Naruto to become Hokage, strength is more important than reputation!

If Naruto is not strong enough and Sasuke says, "He wants to be Hokage, who will praise him and who will oppose him?" Who would dare to say anything?

Kakashi?

Sakura even got a heart-wrenching punch from Sasuke!

Although Naruto's mouth escape is invincible, it is still based on strength. Without enough strength... people are too lazy to listen.

Naruto is like this, the reality is still like this, the so-called people speak lightly, isn't it because of lack of strength?

"But you are right, the loss cannot be in vain, so we can be more chic after we are transferred to Tian Country."

Gen Uchiha will naturally be transferred away.

As a deputy commander with a rising reputation, as a disciple of Orochimaru, if he is not transferred, he will definitely restrain Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and may even sideline Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Naturally, Sarutobi Gounaga and others would not make such a mistake.

"You mean showing it off?"

"Show it off?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up after savoring it carefully, and he praised: "With precise wording, you kid can always give me a little surprise from time to time."

"That's right, it's just a mess!"

"If we win in Kumogakure, we will most likely be picked again."

Uchiha Genshen said in agreement: "That's right, they have no bottom line!"

Orochimaru said with a faint smile: "So we just need to maintain the situation when Shinnosuke left."

"No increase, no decrease, no good, no bad, no advance, no retreat!"

Gen Uchiha gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brilliant!"

"Before Shinnosuke leads people to defeat Kirigakure, it will be hard for the old guys to find someone to replace us."

"We can do whatever we want in our free time..."

"How about this? When we get to Tian Country, you handle the military affairs for twenty days, and I handle the military affairs for ten days. We can rest together on the extra day."

Gen Uchiha spread his hands and said, "Okay, I'm young and I'm a disciple, so I'll share more of my duties."

"He who can do it should work harder." Orochimaru said with a faint smile.

"That's what they thought too."

"Hahaha……"

Orochimaru couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but there was some sadness in his laughter.

"We have a day off according to the order. Teacher, do you want to go back to the village to take a rest?"

"Too lazy to go back, you want to go back?"

"Well, my birthday is coming soon and I want to go back and relax."

"Okay, prepare a gift for you?"

"We masters and disciples don't have to pay attention to these formalities. We can just have a drink and a meal together when we get to the front line."

"Okay, let's go."
