Chapter 395: Orochimaru, who has embarked on the road of research in transition
After Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hanzo discussed the matter of the Rain Country and the amount of the next batch of aid materials, they only stayed in the Rain Country for a few days and led a group of wounded people back to Konoha.
Now, although the war in the Land of Rain has come to an end, the main forces of the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, and Rasa in the Land of Rivers are still fighting with the main forces of Konoha led by Hatake Sakumo and Tsunade...
At this critical moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen must return to Konoha to take charge.
"Ha~~~"
"It's so boring!"
Outside the Konoha camp, Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at the dark clouds above his head and yawned lazily.
In the Land of Rain, it is rare to see weather without rain.
Although the sunlight is weak, it can at least supplement calcium.
At present, one and a half months have passed since Ohnoki led the main force back to the Land of Earth.
During this period, there were also spies lurking in the Land of Earth who sent back news sporadically.
Although Ohnoki's return successfully stabilized the situation in the Hidden Rock Village and effectively curbed the looting of the Hidden Cloud Village,
However, the battle between the main force of Iwagakure led by Ohnoki and the elite of Kumogakure led by the Third Raikage was not as smooth as expected.
Several battles ended in a draw.
According to Fujiwara Tetsuya's estimate, if the Third RaikageIf the Raikage can hold out, he can delay the retreat of Kumogakure until mid-October.
Then, in order to stabilize the situation on the eastern coast of the Land of Earth, reorganize the army, and prepare supplies...
If the Iwagakure wants to launch another large-scale attack, it will have to wait until after winter.
That will be a long period of relaxation for both Amegakure and Konoha.
"Tetsuya-kun?"
"So you are here. I said I couldn't find you anywhere."
Behind him, a light and ethereal voice came slowly. Uchiha Mikoto quickly came to Fujiwara Tetsuya and slowly sat down next to the tree trunk where Fujiwara Tetsuya was leaning.
She skillfully picked up Fujiwara Tetsuya's head and gently placed it on her legs.
"Well~ Mikoto, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no large-scale battles before the end of the year."
"During this period, you can actually relax and don't have to be so strict with Aiko and Mako."
"The strength of a Chunin is already quite good for Aiko's age."
Feeling the softness coming from his neck, Fujiwara Tetsu became more and more lazy.
Without large-scale battles, there will be no large amount of killing points.
At the moment, all he can do is to continue to study the existing ninjutsu and improve his proficiency through shadow clones.
"No~ Tetsuya-kun, this is for their future. There is no such thing as a good road for ninjas."
"Be strict with them now, so when the war is over, it will be easier for Aiko and Mako to embark on the road of ninjas alone."
There is no doubt that after countless open and covert battles with Utatane Hisaie, Uchiha Mikoto has assumed the role of the new generation of sister-in-law of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans after establishing her position as the eldest wife.
...
Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto did not notice.
While they were chatting intimately... under the shade of trees hundreds of meters away from them, Uchiha Fugaku and several Uchiha clan ninjas were watching all this coldly.
"Mikoto... is so rude!"
"I think she has probably forgotten that she is a woman of the Uchiha clan, and women of the Uchiha clan cannot marry outside the clan!"
"When I return to the village, I will definitely complain to the clan leader and the elders about her."
In the silence of Uchiha Fugaku, the emotions of several Uchiha clan jonin gradually fluctuated.
After witnessing the fighting power of Fujiwara Tetsuya, both they and other Uchiha clan members stranded in the Rain Country were like mice seeing a cat when they saw Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Giving people a feeling of wanting to hide as far as possible...
All they can do is vent their dissatisfaction in private.
"Okay, Mikoto's matter will naturally be solved by the clan leader and the elders, and we don't need to worry too much!"
"Don't forget where this is?"
"You should know that if what you say reaches that person's ears, what exactly is waiting for you?"
Seeing that, the voices of several clan members in front of him were getting louder and louder.
Uchiha Fugaku's face changed, and he couldn't help but shout.
After knowing the substantial relationship between Uchiha Mikoto and Fujiwara Tetsuya, he had completely destroyed all his fantasies about Uchiha Mikoto.
The reason why he paid attention to her was, after all, just because he couldn't swallow the bad breath in his heart.
...
The war on the western border of the River Country!
The war on the eastern coast of the Land of Earth!
The confrontation on the border of the Rain Country...
It was always involving the nerves of countless countries and countless ninja villages in the ninja world.
Time passed unknowingly and entered the end of October.
During the long wait, Fujiwara Tetsuya, Orochimaru and others also received the latest information from the Land of Earth.
As Fujiwara Tetsuya expected, the Third Raikage held on until mid-October after looting the cities on the eastern coast of the Land of Earth, and then organized a large number of elite troops from the Cloud Hidden Village to evacuate in batches.
Facing the devastated eastern coast, even if Ohnoki had a good relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.
Inevitably, they were also subjected to pressure from the officials of the Land of Earth and the dignitaries of the Land of Earth…
Whether it was to smooth out the internal problems of the Land of Earth or to deal with the mess left by the Third Raikage.
In a short period of time, Ohnoki and the main force of Iwagakure could not withdraw from the Land of Earth and return to the battlefield of the Land of Rain.
"Senior Orochimaru, it seems... this time, we have to take a long vacation."
In a secret room somewhere below the Konoha camp.
Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at Orochimaru who was busy on the operating table and sighed meaningfully.
I don't know if it was out of powerlessness in the war, or out of a new understanding of strength... the existence of life.
Not long after Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Land of Rain, Orochimaru began to explore human life...
Speaking of which, he discovered Orochimaru's little move by chance.
However... when Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at the various materials hanging on the surrounding rock walls, his eyes could not help but pause.
Orochimaru obviously did not embark on this path recently. It is very likely that he had already embarked on this path when he and Danzo suppressed the Hidden Grass Village and the Hidden Rock Village at the border of the Land of Grass. Otherwise, there would not be so many materials... "Does Tetsuya-kun seem to have something to say?" "However, what surprised me is that after discovering my research, Tetsuya-kun did not report me to the teacher..." After finishing the work at hand, Orochimaru suddenly realized it and looked at Fujiwara Tetsuya who was staring at the materials carefully. "Senior Orochimaru, everyone has their own path to take, and I... am only interested in my own path!" "Whether you are doing human experiments or studying forbidden techniques... that is your own business!" "Free Hokage, I believe that he will also have it without me saying anything.I know one day!"
"As for how he will deal with it? That's another matter."
"However, as a junior, I still remind you... No matter what, please remember that you are not allowed to attack the people of Konoha!"
"Otherwise..."
As he spoke, Fujiwara Tetsuya's tone gradually became cold.
He is not a saint, but he also does not hope that one day... Orochimaru will pay attention to the people around him.
