My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 220 Temporary Return to the Village
come out! Orochimaru!

"what?"

Hermit Purple gave a rare frontal photo, but the person photographed was not Orochimaru, but Kabuto Yakushi wearing a mask.

Link studied the photo and found something strange——

There was no way he could mistake the person in the photo, it was definitely Kabuto Yakushi, but the shadow was very interesting. He didn't know if it was the misalignment of light and shadow or something, but he had long hair and looked somewhat like Orochimaru.

If it were an ordinary photo, this kind of mistake might occur unintentionally, but the photos taken by Hermit Purple must have strong meanings.

And there is no reason for him to look for Orochimaru and create Kabuto Yakushi.

That is to say...

[Did Orochimaru use the Reincarnation Technique to occupy Kabuto Yakushi's body? ]

Link was thoughtful. Through the photos, he vaguely guessed something. There was a huge difference between the plot and the comics, so there must be a variable.

Moreover, Kabuto Yakushi has clearly been sealed with the Five Elements, so at least this body is unable to use hand-sealing ninjutsu. Why does Orochimaru insist on taking away such a body?

Was it a last resort, or did Orochimaru really want the Five Elements Seal?
Is the original body the body of Orochimaru that was sealed with the five elements?

Link took another photo. Looking at the barren rocks, the endless stone mountains, and the characteristic "stone rain" made up of fine sand and gravel in the air, it can be basically determined that Orochimaru (? ) is squatting in the territory of the Land of Earth.

This is a bit troublesome.

Unlike small countries, the ninjas of the five major countries are very active and often travel around the country to carry out missions, so you can easily encounter them if you are not careful.

The reason he can ride an earth dragon around in the Land of Fire is because he is a special jonin in Konoha Village. Even if they discover his whereabouts, they will not follow him or call for people to surround him. No one will look for him even if you report to the Anbu or the Hokage's desk.

It might be okay to go to the Kingdom of Wind, but the Kingdom of Earth would be very troublesome.

Earth Dragon can become invisible, but this group of ninjas cannot follow him in becoming invisible. If they fly too high, they will lose the purpose of finding Orochimaru's base, and if they fly too low, they may be discovered.

The ninjas of the Land of Earth are quite united. If they really were to fight, they would probably have to think about how to deal with the Iwagakure Village.

[Sneak in on foot, and then find an opportunity to have the Earth Dragon conduct reconnaissance]

Link put the photo away. He knew very little about the Earth Kingdom. Even the allied countries did not allow ninjas to cross their borders, not to mention Konoha Village, which had never had a good relationship with the Earth Kingdom. Therefore, most Konoha ninjas were vague about where the Earth Kingdom was.

How could he be an exception?

Should we go back to the village first to retrieve information from the Land of Earth?

As he was thinking, his thoughts were interrupted by sudden fatigue. He took a deep breath and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

With the experience of Shadow Clone, the nature of his wind jutsu will improve rapidly. It shouldn't take long for him to succeed in his practice, and the large number of wind jutsu in his hands will come in handy soon.

[First go back to the village and ask the Sandaime for information about the Land of Earth, then go find Orochimaru]

Link calmed down his mental fatigue a little, then stood up and went to find Sasuke.

This kid abandoned his mission and chased Itachi's crow to the battlefield without a care in the world during the mission. He has been out of contact for several days. If he returns to the village, he will probably be scolded by the two advisors.
-
Afternoon, Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

"Itachi, dead?"

The Sandaime Hokage lost his composure in front of the two younger generations and looked dazed for a moment.

He thought of the child who had endured so much because of him.

"Since he wants to kill you, it proves that he has betrayed and is no longer an undercover agent of the village." Utane Koharu said with a kind expression, "He deserves to die."

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists. He still had mixed feelings.

He hated his brother for killing his entire family over a disagreement, and he could not accept that his brother would attack his best friend.

But Itachi actually did something for him, and there was still the filter of his childhood. He could scold and kill him, but he couldn't bear the fact that the old guy in the village abandoned Itachi so lightly.

Mitokado En stared at Sasuke, whose Sharingan was exposed due to his excitement, and said, "Koharu."

"What?" Utane Koharu looked at Sasuke with a cold smile on her face and said, "Uchiha Sasuke, are you going to attack the advisor?"

She had disliked the Uchiha clan for a long time. The clan that decided to rebel should be wiped out. The little devil left behind by Uchiha Itachi kept shouting for revenge and revitalization of the Uchiha clan, which made her feel even more disgusted.

There are many ways to control the power of the tailed beasts, and it is not necessary to use the Sharingan.

She did not intend to hold back, but continued to provoke: "Next, immediately announce the death of the traitor Uchiha Itachi to the outside world, considering that you killed the wanted criminal Uchiha Itachi with your own hands--"

"Koharu." The Sandaime Hokage interrupted his old friend, his expression becoming serious, "Sasuke, about Itachi..." He paused and sighed.

What should I say at this moment?

In fact, after Sasuke knew the truth, he was considering ending Itachi's mission and letting him return to the village under an assumed name, but he never received a reply to the message he sent. Now, after hearing the news of Itachi's death, he suddenly realized that perhaps the child had made the decision a long time ago to die at the hands of his younger brother, so that his younger brother could become the "hero" of Konoha Village.

"It's my mistake." The Sandaime Hokage took off his bamboo hat. He already looked old, and now he looked too old.

It feels like having one foot halfway in a coffin.

"Do you have any requests?" He was not going to announce Itachi's death, nor could he reveal Itachi's identity as a spy. Giving Sasuke some preferential treatment as much as possible was all he could do.

Mizuto Menen didn't say anything. He knew Monkey's character and had already guessed the result.

After being interrupted, Utatane Koharu was not prepared to speak again and let Monkey make the final decision. The two consultants had a lot of things to do on a daily basis, so the Hokage was actually the main person in charge.

Uchiha Sasuke stood there, silent. He wanted nothing. If possible, he would open his eyes and kill the foul-mouthed old woman opposite him. Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"I recommend Chuunin Uchiha Sasuke to become Jonin."

Link spoke with a smile. He didn't want his people to suffer any loss, so he had to get the benefits first.

"I think Kakashi would not refuse to recommend his own disciple." He pulled up the Kage candidate Kakashi to increase the weight.

Mito Kado En frowned. He didn't want Sasuke, who was full of hatred and had just abandoned his mission, to become a Jonin, but he laid the matter out in the open.

Link represents the Ino-Shika-Chou clan, Kakashi has many connections among the elite jonin and the ANBU, and Itachi is a spy who has sacrificed a lot for the village, so it would be a bit unreasonable not to give him anything.

Just becoming a jonin means that he is no longer a low-level person that can be easily manipulated. By then, Danzo...

"No, I don't agree." Utane Koharu's attitude became clearer.

An evil Uchiha brat who is not really shrouded in the Will of Fire. He is also full of hostility towards her and has various opinions about the arrangements for the village.

Political considerations don't matter. She just doesn't want the last descendant of the Uchiha to enter the upper echelons of Konoha Village so quickly.

[From this perspective, Sasuke's revenge may be very troublesome...]

Link thought silently as he observed the attitudes of the Hokage and the two advisors.

Danzo has now completely lost his power and is basically under 24/7 surveillance to prevent him from doing anything again. The Root has also been disbanded, but he is still a veteran after all. The Shimura clan has sacrificed a lot for the village and is loyal to them. Just because the militant faction has given up their leader doesn't mean they will be willing to accept the village getting rid of Danzo directly.

To kill Tuantuan, he would probably have to be prepared to break with the village. Sasuke would never give up his hatred, it was a dead end.

He smiled without any change in his expression. He felt that it was very troublesome. Should he break with the village for Sasuke? Give up the road to becoming Hokage that he had spent so much time paving?

Subconsciously he wanted to refuse. Link only wanted to hide behind the scenes, quietly get some benefits, fool Obito and Black Zetsu, and completely destroy the Moon Eye Plan after fleecing the tailed beasts.

To put it more cold-bloodedly, except for Naruto, Gaara and Bubble, he cares about the lives of other Chuuriki. When the time comes, he will just kill a tailed beast at random, delay for a few years, and so on, until he is satisfied.

By then, he would be invincible, so why would he need to do it himself? He could just hide in Konoha, gain experience, and become Hokage. When he grows to the peak of his adulthood, he can do whatever he wants.

But is Sasuke willing to wait?
If it was him, Sasuke should be willing, but he...

Link lowered his eyelids and let his gaze fall to the ground. He really hated standing in line.

"I agree." The Sandaime Hokage unexpectedly agreed, completely ignoring the looks of his two old friends, and said, "What else do you want?"

These are not only for Sasuke, but also for his old friend Danzo's life.

"Ninjutsu!" Link continued, "We are free to learn all the ninjutsu the village has mastered."

The Sandaime Hokage gave him a helpless look, "Don't make demands while I'm giving Sasuke compensation."

Link sent back a smiling, mischievous expression.

"I want to be able to learn all ninjutsu, including forbidden techniques." Uchiha Sasuke said more bluntly.

He knew that Link had always wanted to learn a lot of techniques, so he might as well take this opportunity to get something for his friend.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu did not raise any objection. They both knew that the monkey had secretly allowed Link to learn forbidden techniques. They knew it was a benefit for the kid and were too lazy to refuse.

"Sasuke's promotion may take a few days." The Sandaime Hokage acquiesced to the request and said, "Tell me what you came back for this time."

Link saw him, suppressed his smile, threw the photo over, and said, "I found Orochimaru's trail. He is now lurking in the Land of Earth. I hope to get support from the village."

Since we need help from the village, we might as well just ask for information, reputation, and manpower.

After Orochimaru carried out the Konoha collapse plan, he has been tracked by the Anbu, and two snake caves in the Land of Fire have been destroyed.

The Konoha Village at this time is different from the one in the comics. It is not weak at all, so how could it give up its hatred?
