Konoha's Destiny Twins

January 17, Konoha 44, another two days passed.

The Third ANBU Legion was finally formed and reorganized, and then this elite force headed to the front line of the war against Iwagakure under the leadership of Minato.

It wasn't until a few hours after the team set off that the senior Hokage learned that Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, had set off with the team on the grounds that he was "uneasy about being a disciple."

This deft operation, which could be said to be to kill first and then to show off, made several Konoha elders complain but could not refuse.

Everyone is gone, what else can be done?

It was obvious that the other party was opening the back door for his apprentice, who could stop the Sannin?

Who can call back the wild Jiraiya?

Compared to the other Konoha Sannin who were complaining constantly, the Sandaime Hokage, an old fox thief, hid in a corner and smiled without saying a word.

"Hiruzen, are the three ninjas so independent that they can leave the village at will without reporting?" Mito Kadenen asked.

"They are originally a group of young people with strong personalities, otherwise they would not have achieved what they have today." The Sandaime Hokage explained, "I am also looking forward to them giving us a surprise."

"But there are no rules like this..." Xiaochun frowned and said worriedly, "It's during the war now."

Indeed, war times are different. Without strict military regulations, an army will not have strong combat effectiveness.

"They are truly powerful ninjas who have experienced the baptism of fire. The name Sannin is not for nothing." Danzo finally spoke up. It was rare that he actually chose to side with Sarutobi Hiruzen this time.

"We should give them more trust." Danzo concluded.

"Speaking of the Sannin, now Jiraiya has gone to the front line against Iwagakure, and Tsunade is in Platycodon City again. And Orochimaru is still on the flank of Platycodon City? Why has there been no news about Orochimaru in the past two days?" Akimichi Tifeng He said slightly strangely that he was asking everyone, while his eyes were fixed on Danzo.

"Orochimaru has another mission and is already on his way to carry out the mission." Danzo replied.

"What?" Koharu was stunned when she went to bed, and she asked, "When did we give Orochimaru a new mission?"

"This is the information the ANBU received this morning, a letter from Orochimaru." Danzo took out a letter and handed it to everyone to read in turn.

When Mito Kadoyan finished reading the last one, he immediately said angrily: "Nonsense!"

"This is ridiculous!"

At this time, everyone still didn't understand that Danzo also needed Orochimaru to have such rights so that he could play this trick of killing first and then showing off.

But Jiraiya was going alone after all, so he could barely accept it; but Orochimaru had an army of 4,000 people by his side.

Regarding the feasibility of executing those two tasks, several of them had discussed it in detail before and came to a clear conclusion: Konoha cannot afford any big losses now, and it is most correct to survive the current difficulties safely. way of doing.

Why would Orochimaru still behave in such a radical manner?

What is April Qingshui doing?

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the head of the Sandaime Hokage.

"We should be more tolerant towards these young people who are the backbone of Konoha."

"They must have quite a reason for doing this."

In fact, before Orochimaru's letter arrived, the Sandaime Hokage had already received a secret letter from Shimizu through his direct ANBU.

Above is Qingshui's analysis of various aspects of this operation as well as its pros and cons.

After comprehensive consideration, Shimizu felt that as long as he deceived Sunagakure's eyes and ears and made them think that Orochimaru was transferred to the front line of the Iwagakure battlefield,

If he appears elusively behind Sunagakure, as long as he catches the enemy off guard, then the mission will indeed have a high probability of success.

And once it succeeds, it can solve Konoha's current urgent need.

You must know that on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, there are already signs of frequent Kumogakure ninjas.

This is not a good sign...

"Hiruzen, this is not something you would say." Danzo questioned.

"Haha... Everything is for Konoha." The Sandaime Hokage said with awe.

"That's natural, we are all for Konoha." Danzo agreed.

…

………………

January 19, Konoha 44.

"Yuki-kun, let's separate here." Orochimaru said to Qingshui.

After they went north, they made another big circle before returning to a valley in the south.

During the journey north, relying on the team's excellent reconnaissance capabilities, they discovered Sunagakure's tracking several times.

They didn't get rid of the flies until the last moment before heading south.

Then the army, led by Orochimaru, immediately detoured south.

From this moment on, they are "invisible" and no enemy knows their whereabouts.

This is a perfect "darkness into the warehouse".

But now, in this valley, it is the place where the two sides part.

They all have their own tasks.

"Orochimaru, do you think you can complete the mission?"

"That's natural."

Qing Shui clicked his tongue in admiration. This confidence was not the so-called mature mentality.

It is the self-confidence of a truly strong person that is gained after experiencing iron and blood.

What Orochimaru needs to face is a real tough battle. There are Sunagakure defenders on the ridge who have built iron barrel-like defenses.

There is an army of Sunagakure dozens of kilometers away that can support at any time.

Even so, Orochimaru still believed that he could complete the task.

Envious.

But it is undeniable that this mission is extremely dangerous. Qing Shui would risk his life in such a way because there was indeed a temptation that he could not refuse.

As for Orochimaru, why did he have to pay so much?

What temptation could he find so irresistible to make him pay so much?

Why was he so determined to carry out such a mission that had a high possibility of a narrow escape?

"Orochimaru, why do you insist on becoming Hokage?"

Orochimaru was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then he asked: "Are you April-kun interested in the story behind this?"

Orochimaru's voice did not fluctuate at all, but Qingshui had an intuition that the "story" might not be as calm as Orochimaru made it appear.

"Just curious."

Qingshui was indeed a little curious. Judging from Orochimaru's words, he seemed to have hated this "rotten" Konoha for a long time.

Could such a person be someone who deeply loves Konoha?

Would such a person be willing to risk his life to perform tasks for Konoha just for the sake of being the Hokage?

"Yi Yijun, you should think about how to complete this task. You can only rely on yourself for the rest of the journey."

"Don't always talk about me, Orochimaru." Qingshui turned around and led the team towards the southwest, "You can only rely on yourself."

But no matter what, this mission is indeed crucial to Konoha.

No matter what purpose Orochimaru has, he has such courage and courage that Qing Shui can change his mind.

"Take care." Qing Shui's voice came from afar.

"Ha... take care." But Orochimaru's voice was barely audible, as if it was just him talking to himself.
