Had something unexpected happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never would have guessed that, one moment Orochimaru looked surprised, and the next, he was smiling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he looked genuinely happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who didn't know better might have thought Orochimaru had just picked up fifty million on his way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe, not bad, not bad at all.

He knew better than to be overly curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Orochimaru put the scroll away, Shikaku knew this was no simple matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru was delighted because he'd found the Mangekyo Sharingan he had been seeking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it wasn't likely he'd be able to obtain those eyes, it didn't stop him from being in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn't get them himself, with his current relationship with Takuya, Orochimaru believed that asking for some basic information wouldn't be met with refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and assemble a group of one hundred men. Include five medical ninjas and take enough supplies. Head to the Land of Bears, and all these men are to follow Takuya's command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, let him know that with the battlefield too spread out, the Land of Bears is still an important place, and ask him to hold out a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the frontlines are stable, I'll arrange for his replacement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku swiftly took note of Orochimaru's instructions and then asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, how should we select this hundred-man team?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was where it got tricky, and Shikaku didn't feel confident making that decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending a few jounin along with a group of chunin also constituted a hundred-man unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending no jounin, no special jounin, and only a group of chunin would also make up a hundred-man unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could even include some genin in charge of escorting supplies...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all depended on what kind of personnel the one in power wanted to allocate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tapping his fingers on the desk a few times, Orochimaru spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, we're short on personnel here at the camp, so we can't send too many of our main forces. Let's do it this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru finalized the roster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Select some chunin, and also include some genin who are responsible for supplies and other minor tasks. Didn't the old man want these guys to get some experience?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then let's send them to Takuya.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that really a good idea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that if they sent this group over, Takuya would likely start cursing them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really reinforcement, or just a bunch of rookies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Takuya would have to both guard the Land of Bears against possible attacks from Kirigakure and babysit the village's genin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust me, this lineup is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru smiled confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh... You're the boss, I'll do as you say. Besides, if things go wrong, it won't be on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shikaku forced a wry smile, nodded awkwardly, and went to make arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mangekyo Sharingan... I bet Danzo will be quite surprised when he hears this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking to himself, Orochimaru calculated a bit, and his expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt it was necessary to give Danzo a little reminder, letting him know that as a partner, he needed to handle things promptly, or else their cooperation might fall apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this scroll to Danzo and tell him to deal with what needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, or our cooperation will be difficult to continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the command center, an Anbu member appeared, kneeling respectfully to receive the scroll from Orochimaru before quickly leaving the camp and heading to Konoha at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orochimaru, damn you!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the news came back, Takuya immediately began cursing Orochimaru's entire family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That white snake really had no shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Hokage wanted the new recruits to get some experience, but couldn't they just stay at the camp to get a feel for the war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Orochimaru was sending them all to him to babysit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn't Orochimaru come himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew whether Kirigakure would launch an attack on the Land of Bears. What if, right after these people arrived, Kirigakure's forces attacked, and Takuya couldn't protect them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were heavy casualties, he'd be the one to bear the blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even end up taking the fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Takuya rant on and on, the Uchiha members were collectively sweating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were an arrogant bunch, but they still held great respect for Orochimaru, including Uchiha Fugaku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Orochimaru's strength, status, and reputation spoke for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were them, they wouldn't dare to curse like Takuya did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were unhappy, they would only complain silently or mutter a few words in private.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Takuya was openly cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't care if someone tattled on him, and even if Orochimaru found out, it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he dared to curse, he wasn't afraid of anyone knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha members all looked towards Uchiha Mikoto, who simply waved her hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-05T21:22:49.591Z",1,"novelbin.me","5129343ff1e061e01cb29cc015d38b0164c5806ee9dd355781c7e98c43a1bafa","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-691","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-689",2215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-cover.jpg"]
