Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The huge shadow in the deep green pool swam slowly, and a low, distant howl could be heard faintly, causing waves under the water.

And behind the shadow, there were three long tails, swaying slowly like water plants.

If this scene were seen by ordinary people, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying and horrifying scene.

However, when Orochimaru looked at this horrifying monster, there was only joy in his eyes.

"Part of the Three-Tails' chakra can actually grow to this extent..."

Orochimaru sighed.

Before sealing the Three-Tails, he separated some of his chakra.

Because the number was small, it didn't cause any impact.

Just like the Nine-Tails' chakra, a part of it was taken away by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku of the Hidden Cloud Village, but it did not affect the Nine-Tails' strength.

He separated the chakra of the Three-Tails, but of course he didn't keep it in a big fish tank as a decoration.

Joined Akatsuki organization, and received a series of information from Toru Ito.

Let Orochimaru know one thing.

The power of the tailed beasts can be utilized!

Since it can be used, it is also a research direction!

"Outer Path Demon Statue..." Orochimaru's deep eyes flashed with thought.

What on earth is that?

It can even absorb the tailed beasts...

He is always curious about things he doesn't understand.

But that thing is not easy to touch.

Although Yahiko did not say it explicitly, Orochimaru also noticed that the style of Akatsuki had become much more cautious since the emergence of Zetsu.

And Zetsu's appearance reminded Orochimaru of the White Zetsu he had seen before.

However, both parties tacitly did not mention this matter.

"interesting."

"It's so much fun."

"It is this unknown world that is worth people's constant pursuit and exploration!"

"Ha ha……"

The fanaticism in his eyes slowly disappeared, and Orochimaru laughed softly.

"I'll understand someday."

"Master Orochimaru!"

At this moment, Sakon and Tayuya walked slowly towards him. After arriving in front of Orochimaru, they bowed respectfully.

"Is there a problem?"

Orochimaru turned his head away.

"Not long ago, Otogakure received a request for reinforcements from Konoha, hoping that we could join the battle against Kumogakure as support troops."

"They also said they would give corresponding compensation, and the amount is not low!"

"Lord Orochimaru, should we accept this?"

How daring...

Dou complained in his heart beside him.

However, it seems that the news that Lord Orochimaru is in the Sound Village should not have been exposed yet.

Otherwise, the ones coming are not here for help, but Konoha’s elite ninjas!

"Request our support? Sure."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and agreed: "I guess the Kusagakure Village will also receive the news. What happened to old man Sarutobi? After I left, he became much tougher?"

Of course he knew his teacher's character, so he was quite surprised.

Because the impression I have of the Third Hokage is that he doesn't have such a tough hand.

"Or did the previous attempts by the Hidden Cloud Village completely irritate him?"

"Anyway, go down and make the arrangements."

He collected his thoughts and gave the order.

"Yes!"

After receiving Orochimaru's order, Sakon and the other two immediately nodded and went downstairs to prepare.

Now all affairs of Sound Village are basically handed over to the Four Sound Ninjas to handle.

Because they are the strongest among them, and they can prevent Orochimaru from showing up in public, reducing the risk of exposure.

"The war is about to begin again."

For some reason, Orochimaru felt a little melancholy, and then noticed that Kabuto next to him looked thoughtful.

"Dou, you don't seem to understand?"

"Yes, I really don't quite understand, Lord Orochimaru."

Dou lowered his head slightly, maintaining a humble attitude, and expressed his doubts.

"Lord Orochimaru, I don't think we need to help Konoha. Konoha treated you so badly before..."

You don't look like the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness!

Of course, this cannot be said.

Dou just complained in his mind.

"Haha...there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

Orochimaru looked relaxed: "I guess, not only me, but also the Sand Village and the Rock Village will be tied to the chariot by Konoha to fight against the Mist Village and the Cloud Village."

"This is also the final battle of this largest war."

"Konoha will be the winner of the war. You are a smart man, you should understand what this means."

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

"Even though Konoha is in a mess right now, he will win."

"We are just a small ninja village now, so of course we have to stand on the side of the winner, do you understand?"

"Is this so..."

Dou seemed to be thinking about something, and lamented that he was indeed a little naive.

However, this is definitely not what he is good at.

……

A few days later, in Konoha Village.

The sunlight shines on the earth, casting a golden glow.

"set off!"

Tsunade, who was in charge of the team, gave the order.

The support troops sent by Konoha to the front line of the Hidden Cloud Village set off now!

"Ugh……"

Tsunade sighed slightly in her heart. She never expected that she would become the leader of this team.

I just wanted to come back and take a look, but I was drafted into the army.

But what made her happy was that Toru Ito was also among them.

She knew this boy's abilities.

With him around, the winning rate will at least improve a lot, right?

Most of the other Konoha ninjas were newcomers, and they were all very excited thinking about going to the battlefield to make achievements.

If Tsunade hadn't ordered them not to move too fast and to maintain their formation, they would have probably rushed straight to the front line!

At the entrance of Konoha Village, the Third Hokage watched them go away.

How many young people have been sent away...

The expression on his face was a little heavy.

At the same time, at the edge of the distant Konoha Forest.

"Kill--!"

The originally peaceful area is now filled with deafening shouts and cries of killing.

The murderous Cloud Hidden Sect came like a tide!

They were dressed in dark ninja costumes, had dark skin, and wore forehead protectors that symbolized their identity as Cloud Ninjas. Lightning flashed on their bodies to varying degrees, and there were many people in the back cooperating in performing wind ninjutsu!

Like a wasp, it rushed towards the front line of the battlefield madly!

"Hold on, you must hold on!"

"Earth escape! Earth flow wall!"

On the Konoha side, everyone used earth jutsu together to create a large circle of defensive wall similar to a city wall, blocking the way of the Cloud Ninjas!

"You think you can stop us with just this?!"

The Cloud Ninjas roared, and with the help of the strong wind, they slammed into the earth flow wall like lightning drills!

boom!boom!

Every time the impact occurs, the earth flow wall will vibrate violently.

"Stop it! You must stop it!"

The Konoha ninjas, who took advantage of the geographical location, began to release ninjutsu crazily, trying to stop the enemy's advance!

However, under the crazy impact, the earth flow wall was finally knocked down!

"Kill!"

"Hahahahaha! Guys from Konoha! Let's see where you can hide!"

"Die to me!"

In the blink of an eye, this place has turned into a chaotic battlefield.

The front line of defense that Konoha had worked so hard to build was soon broken, so they could only engage in close combat with the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village. Swords flashed and blood splattered!

For a moment, it was hard to tell who would win. The battlefield was filled with smoke, and shouts and sounds of fighting resounded through the sky!
