Naruto's Shulker Snake

"Reporting to Lord Orochimaru, the second vanguard unit has annihilated a total of 300 Kusanagi and suffered 28 casualties, including 20 dead. Some supplies were seized and a small number of enemies escaped!"

Jonin Yoshida reported to Orochimaru excitedly. There was still a trace of blood on his face and he was quite embarrassed. This devastating battle greatly boosted his confidence.

With a low casualty rate, this is definitely a glorious victory. Although Konoha has an absolute advantage in numbers, it is still a good start. No one will refuse a commander who can win the battle.

Although Orochimaru had only skimmed the formation in the previous battle, he easily tracked the enemy's traces and concealed their actions in a way he did not understand, making Konoha's raid a complete victory.

These grass ninjas play like guerrillas, because their goal is always to plunder and will not take the initiative to fight against the Konoha ninjas. Unfortunately, they met their nemesis this time.

As the Sannin who led the troops for the first time, these Konoha ninjas were not familiar with them at first. The battle between Jiraiya and Tsunade just now gave him a general understanding of the strength of the Hokage disciples, which had dispelled their knowledge of command. Questions about official strength.

"Burn everything that cannot be taken away, and let the medical ninjas deal with the wounded urgently. We will continue the operation." Orochimaru said calmly.

The escaping Kusanagi will definitely notify other surrounding troops of their arrival. In the forest, whether it is Orochimaru and Yelong's mental power, eye skills, wood escape or natural force perception, they are all extremely powerful, the more complex the terrain. The more powerful it is against him, the grass ninja's troop division strategy is seeking death in front of him.

"Kill! Drive these bandits out of here!"

In three days, a thousand Konoha ninjas led by Orochimaru rampaged through the Country of Yu, defeating several groups of Kusanagi in succession, and soon attracted the attention of Kusanagi.

The third generation of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shadow Shimura Danzo are still firmly in Konoha. They each sent an elite force of a thousand people, and they were led by their own disciples. The strength they displayed was exposed to the entire ninja world for the first time. , immediately attracted the attention of many people.

As for the other unit, it is naturally Konoha's first vanguard unit led by Danzo's disciples, Hatake Shigesaku, Kato Dan and Beiruhu.

Yes, Beiruhu was also appointed. Although he only showed the strength of an elite jounin, it still surprised Danzo and countless others.

You know, the individual strength of Ino Shikacho in the same class cannot reach the level of elite jounin, but Beilihu is very low-key and has long looked down on the eyes of others.

Beiruhu did not defect this time. It is said that Danzo, who had once dismissed him, knew that Beiruhu had passed the Jonin test on his own. He only hesitated for a few seconds before shamelessly accepting him again and entrusting him with important tasks. He participated in this war.

Although Danzo became a "shadow", he still secretly competed with Sarutobi, and naturally he would not give up on a disciple with potential.

After so long of calm, this war is about to break out, which is also a continuation of Konoha politics!

"Shh-!"

A flash of white light seemed to tear apart the heaven and the earth. Several grass ninjas clutched their throats, their eyes filled with unbelievable horror, and their bodies fell down like waste.

"As expected of Maoshuo, this Hatake sword technique is truly superb!"

Hatake Shigesaku put the bloodless White Fang dagger into the scabbard. The Kusanagi lying on the ground around him looked like a Shura field, but his body was still clean and his breath was still stable.

Obviously in this encounter, Konoha also destroyed a force of hundreds of Kusanagi.

Just hearing Kato Dan's voice behind him, Hatake Shigesaku couldn't help but frown slightly.

"We came three days earlier than Orochimaru and the others, and you killed five grass ninja jounin. Even Orochimaru can't match this level of strength, right?"

Kato Dan still had a spring-like smile on his face, but Hatake Shigesaku just remained silent.

"That's it, maybe he's not his match."

For a long time, Hatake Shigesaku looked at Kato Dan calmly, his face expressionless, but his whole body was like a sharp sword, which made the latter's heart suddenly jump!

Although the jounin of the grass ninja is a "jounin", the quality is not comparable to that of the five major nations. Including those killed by Ye Long and others, the ninjas of the small ninja village will automatically be "devalued" when calculating their merits.

Kato Dan's praise for Hatake Shigesaku was unmoved, but Orochimaru's name made him unable to ignore it.

As the rising star of Konoha's generation, Hatake Shigesaku was forcibly suppressed by Orochimaru. Although he was indifferent to fame and even "betrayed" Danzo to join ANBU, he only cared about his own strength.

He is like an indestructible sharp blade. He only strives for the first place and is ashamed to be second. He has a strong personality. This is why he has become the strongest person in Hatake.

He said he was not as good as him, so how could he not secretly compete with him?

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Orochimaru didn't take any action in these encounters, and Ye Long was just playing tricks.

"Heilihu, I didn't expect you to be so strong. You have been working hard silently. Danzo-sensei was surprised!"

Kato Dan then looked at Bei Liuhu who was cleaning the battlefield without saying a word, and joked in a familiar manner.

Why is it cooked? Because before this war started, no one cared about him at all, including Hachimen Linglong Kato Dan.

"Hehe, it's just a fluke."

Beiruhu acted more calmly than Hatake Shigesaku, just smiled and nodded, and continued to do what he was doing.

Kato Dan's eyes suddenly turned cold!

Hatake Shigesaku is dedicated to the village and does not care about his own interests, while Beiruhu has no identification with the village at all!

He really doesn't care about this war.

"Haha, you are too modest."

Kato Dan was still smiling, but more reluctantly.

"Forget about that guy Shigesaku Hatake, why do you think you are so careless about me?"

As Danzo's most promising disciple and the most ambitious one, Kato Dan's life is not easy now.

Several times he provoked Orochimaru but ended up being slapped in the face, and his most important mission was also messed up, failing Danzo's plan.

Kato Dan is also a capable genius, but fate is like playing a joke on him, and everything goes wrong.

This war may be his only chance to make a comeback

"How's the situation?"

In a simple command post, several powerful ninjas knelt and sat on both sides. Sitting at the head was an old man wearing linen clothes.

"Lord Yajian, we have lost nearly a thousand ninjas in just two weeks. If this continues, the cost of starting a war will be too high!" A grass ninja couldn't help but said anxiously.

"Yes, Lord Yama, the two ninja forces in Konoha seem to have very powerful sentient ninjas. Even if we plunder resources and don't fight them, the other side can actually determine our location."

"Even if the Kingdom of Earth secretly supports us, it would be a huge loss. Once our strength weakens, we will not be able to protect ourselves in this war!"

Several grass ninjas in high positions started shouting, but the old man sitting at the head just squinted his eyes and drank his tea calmly.

"Once the war starts, it won't stop. We have no way out."

There is a ferocious scar on one of the old man's eyes. He is Yama Kusanagi, the leader of Kusanagi Village, a once famous and powerful man.

"The rewards from the Kingdom of Earth are not that easy to get."
