My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 77 Village Arrangements

Two hours later.

"Shh!"

After performing several extraction techniques, Link, who looked a little tired, had just returned home from the hospital when an Anbu appeared outside the door. He knocked on the door politely and said:

"Chunin Link, the Sandaime-sama wishes to see you."

There's no other way, just go. Anyway, apart from being tired, there's nothing wrong with my body. He has been using the technique of extracting fine particles on himself for a long time, so his health level is definitely above standard.

I followed the Anbu to the Hokage's office. As soon as I entered, I saw the Sandaime Hokage wearing a bamboo hat sitting behind the desk, with two old men and women of similar age sitting next to him.

【Two consultants?】

Link thought to himself, and after the Anbu closed the door and left, he bowed and said, "Sandaime-sama."

The Sandaime Hokage smiled and nodded, saying kindly, "Take a seat, Little Link."

"Chunin Link, I'm consultant Mito Kado En. Please tell me about your mission this time." After he sat down, the first person to speak was an old man wearing glasses. His voice was steady and his tone was quite gentle.

"Yes." Link bowed slightly again, and then slowly recounted how he received the mission, carried out the mission, the doubts that arose during the mission, and the subsequent battles and confrontations with Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi.

Of course, the content of the battle was made as rough as possible, with vague phrases like "use secret techniques to delay until support arrives."

The two advisors and the Sandaime did not pursue the question of how they could hold out for so long in the battle. The matter of secret techniques is just that, secret techniques, and it would be bad to delve into it too deeply.

The old lady next to her, Koharu Utane, got furious when she heard the name of the enemy. She said in a cold tone, "Chunin Link, you mean the enemy is called 'Orochimaru' by the Nara Saltwater Jonin, right?"

"Yes." Link responded in a deep voice.

His narration was quite objective and restrained. He just described what he saw and heard. He briefly mentioned in his conversation that the Sand Village Ninjas were testing them in the Wind Country in order to smuggle their goods, giving people the feeling that the Sand Village Ninjas were not good people. The rest were all things that his two companions and Nara Yui knew.

Utatane Koharu didn't say anything else, and Mito Kado En's expression also changed slightly. They both looked at the Sandaime Hokage at the same time. As the main character, the Sandaime Hokage's smile paused for a moment, then recovered and said, "Orochimaru was my former disciple, but now he... is a traitor to the village."

Such a straightforward introduction made Utatane Koharu frown slightly in dissatisfaction. It was somewhat damaging to the image of the Hokage for him to confess to a Chunin that his former disciple had become a traitor.

The Sandaime Hokage seemed not to notice his old friend's expression. He just suppressed his smile and sighed, "In that case, Xiao Link, you should stay in the village for a while. The village will arrange for your two subordinates to be incorporated into other teams."

He didn't say how long the period was, nor did he mention the issue of mission failure, nor did he mention the pressure from the Fire Nation's top brass.

[Iris and Kasumi...]

Link was stunned for a moment before he lowered his head and said, "Yes."

The arrangement of the Genin was just a matter of words for Ying. He knew that separating the two companions was a protection for both himself and his two companions. However, he felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden need to rest and the absence of meat shields.

But he soon calmed down and thought that staying in the village would give him more time to practice instead of wasting a lot of time on missions, which was a good thing no matter how he looked at it.

Mitomon En seemed to want to say something, but the Sandaime Hokage stopped him with his eyes and said, "Little Link, you've worked hard too. Go back and have a good rest."

Some political considerations do not need to be made known to the young people in the village so early.

"Yes." Link bowed slightly to the three old men and turned to leave the Hokage's office.

When he left the Hokage building, he met Team 7 again - they were probably here to complete their mission and collect their bounty. Hatake Kakashi was reading a book, and when he saw him coming down, he closed the book and took the initiative to greet him: "Yo."

"Good afternoon." Link's greeting was a little more formal.

Uzumaki Naruto, who was originally listless, stood at the back and clenched his fists slightly, with a big smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet: "Link, good afternoon!"

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura both looked over with surprise.

They had no idea that Naruto actually knew this short genius.

"Good afternoon." In theory, Link should have built a relationship with Uzumaki Naruto. As the disciple of the Jonin squad leader, he is qualified to have a good relationship with the future village's nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon launchers: the Uchiha orphans. Even the Hokage would not say much.

His plan must also be to have a certain relationship with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki so that he can find someone to be his power bank. If he wants to become a Kage, he also needs someone's help...

But I don't know why at this time——

He was in no mood at all, just responded calmly, then turned and left alone.

"This guy doesn't look too happy..." Haruno Sakura muttered, "By the way, where are his teammates?"

Uzumaki Naruto, who is usually a carefree guy, keenly understood that it was not a bad mood, but a thing called "loneliness".

He looked at Link's back for a long time, until he disappeared at the end of the street.
-
Hokage's office.

"Orochimaru……"

Utane Koharu's expression was a little solemn, "That guy definitely has some conspiracy!" She spoke with certainty, as if she had already seen the conspiracy unfold before her.

She has never liked Orochimaru, or rather, she simply hates him.

As a elder who has watched the village grow bit by bit, from the initial gathering of various ninja clans, to the gradual formation of ordinary ninja families, to the current prosperity where ninjas and ordinary people live together, the village is almost her life, it is everything to her.

What did Orochimaru do? He secretly used his fellow villagers for human experiments.

No matter how much that guy has contributed to the village, or whether he has left any results in human experiments, he has now jumped out to covet the village's genius, sabotaged the A-level mission, and killed the Fire Country tycoon...

They are all traitors who deserve to be destroyed immediately.

But she had to admit that the guy almost never acted rashly and jumped out without warning, so she made the most direct judgment based on her past experience.

There must be a conspiracy.

Mitomon En did not agree with his old friend, but asked calmly, "Hiruzen, what do you think of Orochimaru's words, 'I will come to you again'?"

The meaning of this sentence is -

If Orochimaru appears, what will you do as a 'Kage'?
Last time, that guy should have been killed before he became a rebel ninja. After he was let go, he jumped out again. As someone who let Orochimaru go once, you need to make a decision.

The Sandaime Hokage's eyes did not change at all, he just said in a deep voice: "If Orochimaru appears..."

"I will kill him myself."
