Chapter 361: The hidden nature of the half-disabled Uncle Snake

Boom~~~

The Land of Rain.

After a day and a night of fighting, Konoha finally withstood the attack of Sand Village after suffering heavy casualties.

Under the raging thunder, the cold rain continued to slide down the fingertips of the crowd, washing the bloody and muddy land.

"Quick, go and invite the Hishiki Jonin, Lord Orochimaru... Lord Orochimaru. "

At the beginning of the battle, Orochimaru charged at the forefront of the battle line. After summoning ten thousand snakes, he was able to restrain the three-generation Kazekage and Chiyo, two Kage-level strongmen, with only one person and one snake.

This battle beyond the limit undoubtedly brought great burden to Orochimaru's body and mind.

The ninjas of the Sand Village in front of him withdrew from the sight. Orochimaru staggered and could no longer bear the double trauma of spirit and body, and fell on his back.

The history of ninjas records that it was April 27th, the 42nd year of Konoha.

The commander of the front line of Konoha in the River Country, Hatake Sakumo, led the Konoha strongmen and the main frontline forces to attack the Sand Village camp, defeated Ebizo, and drove the enemy away!

The third-generation Kazekage led 4,000 Sand Village main forces to attack the front-line camp of Konoha in the Rain Country. Konoha commander Orochimaru led the crowd to desperately block it, and the Sand Village did not pull out!

……

While the latest battle reports from the Land of Rivers and the Land of Rain were sent to Konoha…

Mito Kado En, with a whole ANBU team, finally arrived at the northern front of the Land of Rain and met Danzo.

"Kado En, are you also doubting me?"

Inside the cave where the Konoha Ninja Army was temporarily stationed, Danzo's angry roar continued to echo in the depths of the cave, scaring the root members guarding the cave to shrink their necks subconsciously.

"Danzo, no matter how much you explain to me at this time, it's useless."

"You know, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. The key is…you have to make Hiruzen believe, make Tsunade and the entire Senju clan believe that the root team you sent out…is to protect Senju Nawase, not to plot the bloodline of Senju Nawase, and try to find the possibility of studying Wood Release from Senju Nawase."

Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose eyes were covered by the ties of old love, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En were undoubtedly more rational in dealing with matters involving several people.

This understanding makes them not fools. Even if they can't find the so-called evidence, they can guess some things.

"Kaden... Don't say anything nonsense, you have to believe me..."

Facing Mito Kaden's silence, Danzo's anger kept surging.

Of course, this is not directed at Mito Kaden. As teammates... companions, Danzo is fully confident that Mito Kaden and Utatane Koharu will not stab him in the back because of an outsider in this matter.

What annoyed him was... the ability of the Root team to perform tasks.

Not only was he plucked, but he also lost his life there... and he had to deal with this mess.

At Mito Kaden's urging, Danzo had no choice but to follow the Anbu team back to Konoha.

As for the command authority of the front line, and... the root members stranded on the front line, they were naturally incorporated into Mito Kaden's command and temporarily obeyed...As long as the matter of the Senju clan is not resolved, Danzo wants to take charge of the root again...that's just a joke.

…

"Asshole, damn Konoha brat… Don't go too far."

The western border of the Land of Rivers.

When Ebizō gathered the scattered Sand Ninjas and planned to find a temporary base to station and reorganize the army…

Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto had already arrived above the Sand Ninjas…

The continuous ice escape ninjutsu attacks directly broke the defense of Ebizō who had just calmed down.

"Ebizō, I feel relieved to see you so energetic."

"In that case, why don't we fight again…?"

"If you are worried about exposing the human puppet, then we can also go to a more secluded place."

"Ah~ I'm so sorry, you should keep your voice down when doing this. If you are not careful… your subordinates will hear it."

Looking at Ebizō's exasperated look, Fujiwara Tetsuya's Kirimaru dropped dozens of meters, but… it still stayed within a safe range.

"Damn brat... you won't be so arrogant for long."

"One day, my Sand Village will chop off your head..."

After fighting with Fujiwara Tetsuya several times, Ebizo no longer hopes to avenge himself... He only hopes that the Third Kazekage and Chiyo can help him and get rid of Fujiwara Tetsuya cleanly when he meets him in the future.

"Retreat..."

"Tetsuya-kun, weren't you too funny just now... a little bit."

"Or is this the true nature hidden under your face?"

Looking at the Sand Village ninja who followed Ebizo to retreat westward again, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes turned and slowly leaned on Fujiwara Tetsuya's shoulder.

"Is there?"

"Yes!"

"But I like it so much..."

Hearing Uchiha Mikoto's delicate hum, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt numb all over, as if touching a point, and his hands climbed up involuntarily.

When he came back to his senses, the main force of the Sand Village had completely disappeared in the distant forest.

…

Although Ebizo and the main force of the Sand Village who retreated westward were full of frustration, they could only go west under the harassment of Fujiwara Tetsuya day and night, until they stepped into the territory of the Wind Country and joined the Sand Ninja who came to support with supplies. Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto fell from the sky and stopped the expulsion.

Perhaps because of the injury, in the end... Ebizo did not say a single harsh word.

He just led many Sand Village and disappeared on the horizon of the sea of ​​sand...

Looking at the completely dissipated figure, Uchiha Mikoto's clear eyes gradually became complicated.

"Tetsuya-kun, what do you think is the meaning of war?"

"If the great powers and the ninja villages maintain peace, wouldn't that be good?"

"Why do we have to start a war? Why do we continue this meaningless hatred?"

"War?"

"Mikoto, when did you start thinking about such profound questions?"

Realizing that Uchiha Mikoto was a little depressed, Fujiwara Tetsuya smiled gently, slowly hugged Uchiha Mikoto in his arms, and then changed his tone and continued.

"The so-called war is nothing but the continuation of politics..."

"And the political stance depends on the interests and ideas of all parties... just like the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire."

"The imbalance of economic interests and the limitations of the geographical environment... have led to the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Earth, which have strong military strength, to focus on the Kingdom of Fire, which has a prosperous economy, a large population and fertile soil."

"From our point of view, it may not make sense."

"But for the Sand Village and the Rock Village in the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, this is a way out they have to fight for."

"Let's go, we should go back too. I think the Kingdom of River will be quiet for a while before the matter of the Senju clan is resolved."
