Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

Uchiha Yi and Kakashi walked out of Orochimaru's tent side by side. The night breeze blew away some of the tense atmosphere.

Uchiha Yi lowered his voice and asked Kakashi half-jokingly: "Kakashi, Lord Orochimaru has always been so perverted, uh... No, is he unpredictable?"

Kakashi frowned slightly and whispered: "Well, it can be said that from the first time I met him, he gave people an inexplicable discomfort."

"However, there is no doubt about Lord Orochimaru's strength and ability. He was able to lead the troops alone to resist the siege of the Rock and Sand Ninjas. Even the Hokage recognized him."

"That's true."

Uchiha Yi nodded. He absolutely admired Orochimaru's strength.

Even though Orochimaru later went astray and started doing some perverted experiments on living bodies, that was also for the pursuit of strength and he cannot be considered a pervert who enjoyed killing.

Moreover, the reason why Orochimaru began to study those strange longevity ninjutsu was because he witnessed too many people's deaths on the battlefield and had a deep understanding of the fragility of life, which led him to go astray.

Orochimaru is actually a very pure person who pursues strength and immortality.

His earliest ambition was to learn all the ninjutsu. He believed that there was undiscovered power in the human body, so he wanted to achieve immortality, learn all the ninjutsu in the world, and master the truth of the world.

Especially judging from Orochimaru's research results, he is definitely a top genius. The Curse-Sealing Technique, Regeneration Technique, and Reincarnation Technique that he created and developed are all extremely amazing ninjutsu, especially the Reincarnation Technique, which is almost close to achieving immortality.

After chatting with Kakashi for a while, the two said goodbye and left.

Kakashi has not been assigned to a team yet and is acting alone. He has a separate tent not far from Uchiha Yi's residence.

Back in the assigned hut, Uchiha Yi and Inuzukagawa, together with the ninja dog Kenta, squeezed onto a wooden bed to rest.

After a fierce battle during the day, Uchiha Yi was already a little tired, so he fell into a deep sleep soon.

In the next two days, the three members of Uchiha Yi's team mainly received training in the camp.

Since it was the first time for the three of them to go to the battlefield, an experienced Chunin was assigned to give them a short-term training.

The training content includes the rules and regulations of Konoha's combat forces, the transmission of instructions, and the coordination between various teams.

During this period, Uchiha Yi found a gap when no one was paying attention and secretly used meditation to completely heal the injury on his left hand, but he did not remove the bandage on his left hand. After all, recovering too quickly would attract other people's attention.

He was mainly afraid of attracting the attention of Orochimaru. If Orochimaru discovered his healing ability, he might really capture him and study him secretly.

Two days later, the short period of peaceful life was finally broken.

A messenger ninja hurried to Uchiha Yi's residence and knocked on the door. "Uchiha Yi, urgent combat mission, please report to the assembly point immediately."

Inside the house, Hinata Shiori and Inuzuka Gawa were discussing some team tactics. When they heard the voice, they both looked at Uchiha Yi at the same time, with confusion on their faces.

"What is the mission? Is Yi the only one going? Where are the other members of our team?" Hinata Shiori asked impatiently.

"Yeah, we're a team, why don't we act together?"

Inuzukagawa also nodded in agreement, obviously he didn't want Uchiha Yi to act alone.

The ninja who delivered the order had a cold look on his face. He did not answer the two people's questions and said in a deep voice, "This is a secret mission. I have nothing to tell you! Uchiha Yi, report immediately. This is the order of Lord Orochimaru!"

"Got it. I'll be right there."

Uchiha Yi shook his head towards Hinata Shiori and Inuzuka River, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "I'm sorry, this mission is confidential, I can't disclose it, but please rest assured, I will come back safely."

Although Hinata Shiori and Inuzukagawa looked dissatisfied, they knew that following orders was the first rule on the battlefield.

The two of them had no choice but to nod silently and watch Uchiha Yi leave in a hurry.

Uchiha Yi followed the messenger ninja to a hidden gathering point in the camp, where nearly eighty people had gathered.

After a quick look, Uchiha Yi quickly discovered that each member of this operation was no ordinary person. They were all elite Chunin and above, and there were even several elite Jonin mixed in.

"Yi, here!"

Seeing Uchiha Yi, Might Guy waved and greeted him, and next to him was Kakashi who was silent.

"Kai, are you also participating in this operation?" Uchiha Yi nodded and greeted Might Guy and Kakashi.

"That's right, it seems that this time the three of us can fight side by side! This is the friendship of men! This time let's compete to see who can kill more enemies!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Might Guy's passionate speech, Uchiha Yi gave a helpless smile.

Judging from the strength of the personnel involved in this operation alone, this raid plan is extremely dangerous, and ordinary operations would not involve such a large-scale operation.

I didn't expect that my first combat mission would be such a big one, and I would be operating with Might Guy and Kakashi.

"Maybe this is fate." Uchiha Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Destiny? Do you believe in destiny? Yi, destiny is indeed very interesting."

A cold voice came from behind Uchiha Yi, with a tone mixed with a bit of amusement and curiosity.

Following the source of the sound, Uchiha Yi turned around and looked.

I saw Orochimaru, wearing a white kimono, walking slowly towards me. His face was pale, without a trace of blood.

"Master Orochimaru!"

The many ninjas around immediately saluted Orochimaru respectfully.

With the appearance of Orochimaru, everyone present became silent. They stood sideways, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Several young Chunins even tensed up their bodies, their pupils contracted slightly, and they looked extremely nervous.

It seems that Orochimaru has a really bad reputation.

Orochimaru is obviously the combat commander of Konoha, but now he gives people a feeling that he is in danger.

Although he had a very high reputation in Konoha Village as one of the Three Ninjas, almost everyone found it difficult to suppress the fear in their hearts when facing this man who exuded a dangerous aura.

"Is Lord Orochimaru going to personally take charge of this operation?"

Uchiha Yi frowned and looked at Orochimaru.

In his mind, he considered the danger level of this operation to be the highest. The fact that his side had three Kage-level strongmen dispatched meant that it would inevitably attract the attention of the enemy Kage-level.

There's a chance that a war between Kage-level warriors will break out, and a battle of this level is not something I can get involved in at the moment.

It looks like he'll have to keep a low profile this time.

"Yes, I will personally command this operation."

Orochimaru looked into Yi's eyes with interest, "Yi, I am looking forward to your performance in this operation."

After saying that, Orochimaru slowly came to the front of the team.

"I don't like to talk nonsense, so let's go now!"

"Yes!!"

The group quickly disappeared into the camp, heading towards an unknown destination.
