Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"We're back, Orochimaru."

The exhausted Akimichi Choza and Mokume Kōto walked in from outside, reporting the situation while recovering their chakra:

"Currently, all the troops outside have returned. Five teams were wiped out, four teams were lucky enough not to be injured, and the rest are all injured."

"The casualties are heavy."

"Besides, the other side chooses to ambush and ambushes randomly, so there is no way to target them."

They all brought very bad news.

However, there was no emotion on Orochimaru's face.

He's used to it.

This battlefield is a super unfavorable situation. Although the favorable situation in the past few days was very cool, it was abnormal.

"Well, I see."

Orochimaru rubbed his brows, closed his eyes, and began to speak slowly:

"We have to respond as well. Do you have any ideas?"

After all, they are the ones who will carry out the mission next. Although Orochimaru has some ideas in his mind, he knows that senior ninjas like Akimichi Choza and Bokume Koto prefer to act according to their own ideas.

As the future Hokage, I can't take care of everything. Now is the time to put it into practice!

If it were anyone else, they would probably go too far, but Orochimaru is different. He has studied with Sarutobi Hiruzen for a long time, and having such a role model to imitate prevents him from being at a loss when facing these things.

"I don't think this will work. The traps set by the enemy are impossible for ordinary Chunins and Genins to see through. We must send out an elite team to survey these traps and kill the guys who set them."

Akimichi Choza expressed his opinion and volunteered: "After the chakra is restored, Bokume Koto and I will go together!"

"With the strength of the two of us, we can escape unscathed even if we really encounter a strong enemy!"

"Yes."

Mumu Gongdao nodded slightly. This was something they had discussed on the way here.

Orochimaru must stay in the camp and cannot go out.

Both of them are the most suitable in terms of strength, qualifications and experience!

I just happened to be here, and I can use a successful battle to boost my confidence and prove my strength at the same time!

"Hmm...let me think about it."

There was nothing wrong with this proposal, but Orochimaru was still a little hesitant.

There is no doubt that this wave of counterattack by the enemy was very sharp, and they were very sophisticated and ruthless from the beginning, and the purpose was to force them into a passive position!

Forcing them to use elite teams to seek out confrontations, this is also the way normal ninjas will most likely choose when they find themselves in trouble!

However...is all this what Grandma Chiyo on the opposite side expected?

Although there was no reason, Orochimaru was almost certain that this was the case!

The plans proposed by Akimichi Choza and Bokume Koto must have been anticipated by the other party long ago.

So the other party must have a way to deal with it!

If we continue like this... there will definitely be a trap!

Akimichi Choza and Bokume Kōto also knew this, but they were both very confident in their own abilities.

So what if it's a trap? We are going to use our true strength to forcefully break through this trap!

So next, the pressure fell on Orochimaru.

Should we attack? Or should we continue to defend?

His fingers tapped lightly on the table.

The atmosphere in the tent was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Both of them were waiting for Orochimaru's reply.

At this moment, the door curtain of the tent was pushed open again.

"Huh? What happened?"

Kato Dan, who had just gone out with Tsunade, felt the solemn atmosphere in the air, so he said with a smile: "Are you so serious because of the attack by Sand Village?"

"Ok!"

Akimichi Choza nodded: "Bomu Koto and I plan to go out, find the guys on the other side, and then teach them a hard lesson!"

"Is that so..." Kato Dan was also a smart man. Just from Akimichi Choza's few words, he understood why the atmosphere was so silent.

"In that case, I'll go with you."

As soon as Kato Dan said this, the eyes of the three people were all on him.

"My abilities and perception ninjutsu are suitable. You are responsible for fighting, and I am responsible for finding the opponent. You are not familiar with the surrounding environment since you just arrived here. I am not bragging, but I am very familiar with the surrounding environment now."

He spoke with a smile, and the heavy atmosphere in the tent was slowly dissipated by his words, like a spring breeze and rain.

"If that's the case...it's indeed feasible."

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

With Kato Dan's perception ability, at least the team can escape safely, not to mention his spiritual transformation technique, which can also greatly assist Akimichi Choza and Bokume Koto.

"Then it's decided!"

When Orochimaru made the decision, Tsunade's voice came from outside.

"Wait, I want to go too!"

She had just finished treating the wounded and came to the tent to talk to Orochimaru about Rope Tree and the follow-up arrangements for the new batch of Genin when she heard the noise of discussion inside. When she heard that Kato Dan was also going, she immediately spoke anxiously.

And Toru Ito, who followed Tsunade and was about to get some medical supplies to take back, was startled!

Kato Dan's flag, is it coming so soon?

Although Tsunade's death flag necklace was still safely on Nawaki's neck due to his intervention, he could not guarantee whether Kato Dan could escape the disaster.

After all, what is supposed to come will come...

But this time, it’s not as easy to intervene as with the rope tree.

After all, this was an action between senior ninjas, and Toru Ito had no way of getting involved in it.

Is it possible to only wish Kato Dan good luck?

Ito Toru felt a little conflicted. After all, Kato Tanto was a pretty nice guy and had taken care of him before, not to mention that he was the big brother he had just recognized.

But, what should we do?

While Toru Ito was struggling with his thoughts, in the dense forest outside.

Hidden deep in the forest, in a small open area, several tired Sand Ninjas were gathering together to eat and replenish their chakra.

"I'm so heartbroken... We set up so many traps in one day and spent so many detonating talismans. I'm afraid that all our Sand Village savings will be emptied!"

"But it's worth it. Did you hear those explosions? They're very effective!"

"It has no effect at all. All the Chunin and Genin of Konoha are blown up. The powerful Jonin are all here. If you ask me, this is just that old Chiyo...he is taking revenge on his own!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, who would have thought that her son and daughter-in-law would both die on the battlefield? They were two incredible puppeteers..."

"Oh, is Konoha White Fang really that scary? I want to see it for myself." Someone muttered.

"Can you please stop talking if you don't know how to speak? Just experience it yourself. I don't want to experience it with you!" A Sand Ninja next to him immediately got angry: "That's Konoha White Fang! Is he kidding you? You are all alone, and I have a wife and children waiting for me at home!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, the leading Sand Ninja Captain quickly said:

"Alright, alright, stop talking and save your companions."

"By the way..."

Someone suddenly spoke.

"Don't you think it's a little too quiet here?"

"Ok?"

Several Sand Ninjas stopped talking at the same time and vigilantly sensed their surroundings.

Sure enough, I found that the chirping of insects and birds around me seemed to have disappeared.

In the silence, a sudden voice was heard.

"Cuck!"
