Konoha's West Gate Official

"This is indeed an issue and needs to be carefully considered."

Orochimaru nodded, then fell into deep thought.

But at this time, Sarutobi Asuma said: "What's so difficult about this? Senior also said just now that one of Kumogakure's jinchūriki was also injured, which means they only have one shadow-level strongman there now. Able to fight.

As long as you and Tsunade-sensei appear together and show our strength, the other party will not dare to attack easily! "

As he spoke, he raised his head proudly, obviously very satisfied with his idea.

But just when he was feeling complacent, Ximen on the side criticized him unceremoniously: "Stupid!"

After the words fell, Asuma's expression changed instantly, he turned his head and said very dissatisfied: "Namikaze Simon, what did you say!"

Ximen repeated calmly: "Don't you understand? I said you were stupid."

"you……"

The pride and pride in her heart were saved, and Asuma suddenly felt angry and wanted to continue questioning.

But at this time, Orochimaru interrupted him and asked: "Tell me, what's wrong with the proposal just now?"

Asuma closed his mouth and stared at the former with his big eyes, as if he was going to fight for his life without giving a reason.

Ximen said calmly: "Before making a decision, you must first have a certain understanding of the enemy.

If you are a cautious person, you may hesitate because of the increase in opponent's strength, but Kumogakure's group of reckless men will not worry so much.

On the contrary, I am sure that if you really follow the method just mentioned, the opponent will definitely attack immediately, and they will fight with all their strength! "

Hearing this, Asma said unconvinced: "You are talking nonsense, how is this possible!"

Ximen shook his head and chuckled: "You are stupid and you still don't admit it. Don't forget, Orochimaru-senpai is very aware of the injury.

The reason why we haven't launched a large-scale attack yet is because we are worried that if we attack to the death, we will cause large-scale casualties.

If I'm not mistaken, Kumogakure probably wants to wait for Kirabi to recover. By then, with two shadow-level experts, they will be able to defeat Konoha at the minimum cost.

Teacher Tsunade is the best medical ninja. With her, Orochimaru-senpai can recover in a short time. This means that the longer we delay, the greater our chance of winning.

In contrast, Kumogakure has lost to us in terms of time, and the only option is to give it a try. Before the balance is completely tilted, launch a decisive battle! "

Hearing these words, Sarutobi Asuma was stunned. Originally, in his mind, war was a head-to-head fight, but he didn't expect that there were so many ways to do it.

Even Orochimaru showed a bit of surprise. Although he had thought of these questions, he didn't expect that a mere half-year-old child would have such a profound understanding of the battle situation.

I saw that tongue like a snake's letter sticking out, and said with a smile: "It's really amazing. I have to say that you and I have thought of it together. What are your thoughts next?"

Ximen smiled and said: "I want to ask you this. The best disguise is not to pretend. Just keep doing what you originally wanted to do. Only in this way can the other party's vigilance be minimized."

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help laughing: "What a pity, you are already Tsunade's apprentice, otherwise I wouldn't mind having another outstanding disciple."

He knew a lot about ninjutsu geniuses, but this was the first time he saw such a well-organized and intelligent young man.

Faced with such naked solicitation, Ximen refused directly and said: "Thank you for your love, senior, but I have decided to practice with Teacher Tsunade, and I am afraid I will live up to your love."

He is very aware of Orochimaru's personality. Although he is not a sinister person, he is definitely not a good person. Moreover, he later became a traitorous ninja. He is not on the same path as him, so there is no need to have much to do with him.

Seeing his polite refusal, Tsunade showed a smile on her face and gave Orochimaru a proud look beside her.

Orochimaru was slightly disappointed, but Ximen's character also gave him some appreciation.

Then he didn't say much on this issue. He only took out a blueprint and said: "I have sent someone to find out clearly. In two days, Yunyin will have a batch of military grain pills delivered to the front line. This is a good idea." Opportunity..."

At this point, he paused and looked up at Ximen.

Ximen understood in his heart and said: "Senior, what do you mean, send people to intercept and kill?"

Hearing this, Asuma immediately jumped out and said: "Namikaze Simon, what are you talking about? I don't know that we should try our best to avoid fighting with Kumogakure at this time..."

However, before he finished speaking, Orochimaru said: "Yes, he is very understanding."

"Forehead……"

Sarutobi Asuma's expression froze for a moment, he just felt that he had memorized too much today, as if everything he said was wrong.

Seeing the dull look on his face, Orochimaru asked: "If it were you, would you attack rashly when we have the time advantage?"

"of course not!"

Asuma replied immediately.

"So, Yunyin thinks the same way."

Orochimaru said.

"Um, does this matter?"

Asuma scratched his head, as if he still didn't understand.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he did not continue to say more, but got back to the point: "According to the news, there are about forty or fifty ninjas in Kumogakure's escort team.

However, since completing the mission required sneaking into the Kingdom of Dao Lei and not attracting attention, they could only dispatch an elite team of no more than ten people. "

Hearing this, Tsunade frowned and said with a serious face: "The danger of sneaking into the Kingdom of Thunder to carry out an interception mission at this special time will not be small."

Orochimaru nodded and said: "Therefore, those who perform tasks must be elites."

Tsunade heard this and said, "Since you already have a plan, you must have already considered the candidates."

Orochimaru continued: "I selected eight people, including two jounin, three special jounin and three experienced chuunin."

Tsunade nodded: "That should be enough, but you still have to be careful. After all, a large number of ninjas will appear in the enemy's territory at any time. Once their whereabouts are exposed, it will be difficult to come back alive."

"Don't worry, I've already told you."

Orochimaru said.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Ximen, who was standing aside, changed his expression and said, "Um, can I participate in this mission?"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "It's really interesting. This kind of mission is not just a play in the ninja school. People will really die."

Ximen said with a chuckle: "Although I dare not compare with my seniors, it shouldn't be that easy to kill me..."
