Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 108 SR Card: Red Lotus!

"Let our team scout out the movements of the Sand Ninja?"

Dohei tossed the mission scroll in his hand and looked at the Root ninja who delivered the message.

Compared to the messenger ninja, Danzo trusts the Root more, so it is normal to let them deliver the message.

"Yes!"

The herald's roots nodded.

Danzo is panicking!

Dou Ping realized this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be allowed to lead a team to carry out this kind of mission.

"I'll leave right away!"

Although Tang Ping is a rebellious person, he knows that he cannot disobey the official mission and says he will set off immediately.

Whoosh!
The Root Ninja used the instant body movement technique to leave.

Tang Ping immediately put away his fishing rod and set off.

First, we need to find Yamama Koji and Hinata Sogetsu to reunite.

Especially the latter.

The other party's white eyes are completely the god of reconnaissance, we can't do without her.

It only took half a day to find the two people.

"Alright, stop your mission for now, we're going to scout the movements of the Sand Ninja army!"

The mission to attack the logistics convoy was suspended.

The Sand Ninja is in such a miserable state, it’s better to stop beating him up.

Yes, when I watched the anime before traveling through time, I only knew that the Sand Ninja was capricious and I didn’t have a good impression of him.

But after traveling through time, I realized that it’s not their fault.

Konoha has forced them to the point where they can't survive (it has taken away most of the mission share from the Wind Kingdom), so don't blame them for being so unkind and giving you a "righteous backstab".

Maybe that's why Konoha 'forgave' the Sand Ninja several times.

"Yeah!"*2
So, their ninja team consisting of one elite jonin and two quasi-kage masters (normal state) set off.

And Tang Ping also saw the situation of civilians in the occupied areas.

The result was... horrible.

It’s not that the Sand Ninja did anything wrong.

To be fair, the ninja army attacking the Sand Village only had a few thousand people. Even a "superman" with such a small number of people would not be able to cause much harm.

The focus is on bandits, wealthy families, nobles, etc.

They were very excited about the invasion of the Sand Ninja.

Some things that were usually inconvenient to do can now be done.

Anyway, the 'Sand Ninja' will take the blame.

In short, all the bad things were done by the Sand Ninjas, and we are innocent.

Human life is like grass!
All I can say is that in the ninja world, ordinary people and ninjas are two completely different lives.

If it were ninjas, the death of hundreds or thousands would be considered "major casualties", but if it were ordinary people, it would just be a simple number.

The reconnaissance mission was not difficult at all for their team, and they quickly collected a lot of intelligence.

And also discovered an important trump card of the Sand Ninja.

A monk with white hair and beard sitting in a cage covered with sealing runes is joining the Sand Ninja army.

"…Fenfuku, the One-Tail Jinchuriki?"

Tang Ping muttered to himself.

The others do not know each other's identity.

Because the Jinchūriki of each village are the village’s top secrets.

Just like Uzumaki Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, not many people in Konoha know about it.

Tang Ping knew this because he was a time traveler.

However, he did not intend to report this information.

Because he couldn't explain how he knew that the other person was the Sand Ninja Jinchuriki.

After sending the reconnaissance intelligence back, Team 404 also began to return.
On the way back.

When passing by a village that was reduced to ruins by fire, Hinata Cangyue suddenly stopped and looked towards a corner.

"what happened?"

Tang Ping understood that the other party would not stop for no reason.

"There's someone over there!"

Hinata Cangyue pointed to the ruins of the village that were still smoking.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in a war zone, but it is definitely not uncommon, but they have never stopped before.

Because there are too many such situations, even if we want to intervene, how much can we do? So it is better to turn a blind eye.

Only this time is an exception.

"Go and see!"

Tang Ping also became interested.

The situation that could make Hinata Cangyue speak was definitely not an ordinary one.

As for Yamama Koji? .

He is the thug and engineer in the team, silent and reliable, who will not express his opinions easily.

Soon, Tang Ping saw the target.

A blue-haired little girl, no more than ten years old, was lying on the ground, bleeding slowly from her waist. If left untreated, she would die soon.

"This is…"

Tang Ping squatted down and his eyes stopped on the little girl's palm.

Because the other party had a pink prismatic crystal stained with blood in his hand, and there was a bandit's body not far away.

"It's a crystal made of chakra!"

Hinata Cangyue added that this was also the reason why she stopped.

Crystals made of chakra?

An image of a beautiful blue-haired lady emerged in Tang Ping's mind.

red lotus!

The blue-haired lady who will follow Orochimaru in the future and possesses the Crystal Style Kekkei Genkai.

Calculating his age, he should be eight or nine years old now, and the blue hair also matches.

However, there is a huge gap between the opponent's skinny body and appearance and the beautiful and strong appearance in the future. If it were not for the existence of the unique bloodline limit of Crystal Release, it would be impossible to recognize it. If it were the opponent, then when he grows up, he will start as an 'elite jonin'.

Thinking of the other party's loyal character, Tang Ping took out a bottle of healing liquid from his tactical belt and gave it to the other party to drink before standing up.

"Take her with you!"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Maybe he had accumulated too much good luck recently, so he drew this SR-level character with one stroke.

Loyal and powerful!
Having these two points is good enough, not to mention that the other person is also very good-looking.

With such a pretty and capable female subordinate, what else would you need?

Furthermore, the opponent has the potential to be an elite jonin. If enough resources are invested, there is a chance that he can become a Kage.

There is no way, mastering core technology is so arrogant.

The worst one might be Orochimaru.

After all, this is considered stealing his future subordinates, but if the other party doesn’t know about it, it doesn’t count as stealing (Orochimaru: I have a sentence MMP that I must say today!).

'What a lucky guy!'

Yamama Koji looked at the other person's little face and thought, while bending down and carrying the other person on his shoulders.

Yes, the other party is indeed lucky.

In the cruel ninja world, such deaths can be seen everywhere, but the other party was rescued by them, how could they not be lucky.

"Is it the blood inheritance limit?"

Hinata Sogetsu turned his head and looked at the blue-haired little girl who was carried on Yamama Koji's shoulders like a straw, and asked hesitantly.

Bloodline limit!

It’s not just any cabbage. Even now she still finds it hard to believe it.

"Yes!"

Tang Ping nodded.

He was in a very good mood at this moment, after all, he had picked up a subordinate with unlimited potential for free.

At the same time, he was thinking in his mind which subordinates Orochimaru would have in the future who could intercept him (Orochimaru: Please be a human being!).

There is no way. It’s because the other party has a better vision. Instead of cultivating it yourself, it’s better to intercept the other party’s Hu.

On the way back, the team first went to the River Kingdom.

Then in less than two days, they returned to Platycodon Mountain.

At the same time, the red lotus that was picked up was not brought back.

What to bring back?

They were not planning to send any talent to Konoha, so they would first place the other party in the River Country Laboratory and wait until the war was over.

He had just returned when he was called to a combat meeting.

The Sand Ninja army will soon arrive at Kikyo Mountain, so it is natural to hold a combat meeting at this critical moment.

Others may not attend, but Tang Ping naturally cannot be absent.

The combat meeting was held in the commander-in-chief's office instead of the usual conference room, which meant it was not a large meeting but a small one.

Tang Ping arrived for the 'check-out'.

At this time, several people were already getting a little impatient waiting.

In addition to the Konoha F3, there is another pineapple-headed guy in the office, but he is not Narada, but a younger one.

Nara Shikaku!

He is also the squad leader of the jonin squad and an elite jonin.

He came to Platycodon Mountain temporarily.

"Humph, some jonin are so arrogant that they actually let us elders wait for them!"

Utane Koharu said something sarcastically.

She is not a narrow-minded person to begin with, and since her clan members keep saying that Uchiha Dohei is targeting their family, it is normal for her to take the opportunity to vent her anger.

"I can't help it. I'm busy. I'm not like some people who just sit in the office and rest every day!"

Tang Ping also directly responded to yygq.

He would not have dared to do this before, because the other party was an advisory elder, and the family behind him was at the top of Konoha's food chain.

But now?

Sorry, the strength he revealed was just 'quasi-shadow level'. If he added magic, he would be at least 'strong shadow level'. There was nothing for him to be afraid of.

Armed with a sharp blade, the murderous intention arises!
This is also the biggest reason why his personality is different from before.

If you don’t have power, pretending to be a grandson is wisdom; if you have power, pretending to be a grandson is a coward.

Since he can no longer lie down and be an unknown person, he naturally cannot keep a low profile.

"you you!"

Utane Koharu was shaking with anger.

As the advisory elder of Konoha, even the three ninjas and Kage-level strongmen like White Fang did not dare to be presumptuous to him, but he did not expect that such a brat would dare to speak to him like that.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

Tang Ping is ruthless when he is in power.

The Utane and Mito families had caused trouble for him before, and he had not forgotten about it. Now that he had the chance, he would naturally confront them directly.

If you have no desires, you will be strong!

Other strong men have too many concerns, but Tang Ping has no concerns, so he naturally fights back whenever he wants.

"That's enough. This time we are here to discuss how to fight the Sand Ninja. Don't waste time!"

Danzo felt very comfortable when he saw Utane Koharu feeling frustrated.

Let you usually stand on the side of the monkey, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, so he went straight to the point.

"Just give the orders, I have no objection!"

Tang Ping curled his lips inwardly and answered.

You let me "hold a small meeting" with you. If it succeeds, it will be the credit of you, the chief commander, and the two advisory elders. If it fails, it will be the fault of the "decision-making level". Do you really think I don't understand?

This method is considered advanced in the ninja world, but it still seems a bit low-level to Dohei, who has seen countless methods.

"Shikaku, explain our arrangement...!"

Danzo frowned slightly and gave up the idea of ​​causing trouble for Douping now.

The most urgent task is to deal with the Sand Ninja army, and everything else can be discussed after victory.

"Yes, Master Danzo...!"

Nara Shikaku began to introduce tomorrow's arrangements.

The meeting ended quickly, and the next step was to wait for the Sand Ninja army's attack tomorrow.
