Konoha Village, inside the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, this is what Tsunade-sama meant..."

Uchiha Ryosuke rushed back to Konoha and informed the Third Hokage of Tsunade's recent situation.

Even though the Third Hokage was mentally prepared, he felt a little disappointed when he heard that Tsunade did not want to come back after all.

As a teacher, am I too disappointing?

The Third Hokage couldn't help but begin to doubt himself.

Among his three disciples who were famous in the ninja world, two were not in Konoha Village.

One of them is now an alcoholic and gambler, and the other is a novelist. He travels around in search of the legendary child of prophecy, but has never found any trace.

Seeing that the war was about to begin, the only person he could use was his reliable disciple, Orochimaru.

The Third Hokage was still somewhat wary of Orochimaru.

After all, I had asked him to cooperate with Danzo Shimura to conduct human experiments using village volunteers, but the results were too poor, so I eventually stopped it.

From then on, the Third Hokage felt that he could not see through his disciple Orochimaru....

If Hatake Sakumo were still alive now, and used to fight against the war launched by the Sand Village, wouldn't they not be so passive?

Sadly, he died in the end...

"Hokage-sama, Orochimaru-sama is here."

After hearing the report from the Anbu, the Third Hokage finally came to his senses from his memories.

"Let him in!"

Not long after, Orochimaru walked in.

When he saw Uchiha Ryosuke in the room, a strange and fiery look flashed in his eyes.

"Orochimaru, Konoha has no choice but to respond to this intrusion into the Sand Village.

Faced with the current complexities of the ninja world, we urgently need to end the war quickly! I will leave the command to the front lines to you!"

Hearing this, Orochimaru was not at all surprised.

He nodded, but his eyes fell on Uchiha Ryosuke.

"Teacher, can I bring someone with me when I go to the front line this time?"

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru seriously.

"Who do you want to take?"

"he!"

Orochimaru raised his hand and pointed at Uchiha Ryosuke beside him.

"Uchiha Ryosuke?"

The Third Hokage was a little surprised. Why was it Uchiha Ryosuke?

"Ryosuke, he's just a Chunin, following you to the front line..."

"Ding, Uchiha Sasuke (Mangekyo Sharingan) fighting card value +3."

"Ding, Kabuto Yakushi (Shippuden)'s fighting card value +2."

Hearing the system's prompt, Uchiha Ryosuke, who had wanted to reject Orochimaru's invitation, changed his expression.

He bowed to the Third Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, I want to follow Lord Orochimaru to the front line! To be the first line of defense to protect Konoha's safety!"

Hearing these righteous words, the Third Hokage was silent for a moment.

He looked at Uchiha Ryosuke approvingly and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, but Orochimaru, you must protect Uchiha Ryosuke well!"

Let Orochimaru protect himself?

The strange look just now was totally unlike the way one looks at a human being.

It's more like looking at some lab mice.

I guess he now wants to throw himself into a petri dish and have his blood drawn for research!

Uchiha Ryosuke thought this in his heart, but his expression was serious and respectful.

The Third Hokage walked forward and patted Uchiha Ryosuke on the shoulder.

"Ryosuke, when you return from the battlefield, I will make an exception and promote you to Special Jonin!"

Special jonin?

This old man is going to start painting big pictures for himself again!

You have to give some money to supplement the household expenses.

How many ninjas from the Sand Village have he secretly killed while on missions recently?

I've already left all the money I've just collected to Tsunade, and now I'm really short of money...

Orochimaru and Uchiha Ryosuke came out of the Hokage Building and walked side by side.

It seemed that Uchiha Ryosuke was about to go to the Uchiha clan's territory.

Orochimaru then spoke.

"Tsunade, will you come back?"

Uchiha Ryosuke didn't expect Orochimaru to ask Tsunade, and shook his head.

"Lady Tsunade is living a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day, she may not come back."

After hearing this, Orochimaru grinned.

"I know Tsunade will definitely come back, because she can never let go of Konoha!"

Uchiha Ryosuke looked at Orochimaru who looked confident and did not refute him.

"Lord Orochimaru, you're still thinking about Lady Tsunade! That's rare!"

When Orochimaru heard this, his expression changed slightly.

"After all, they were once...comrades!"

Orochimaru said coldly, turned around and walked in another direction.

"Ding, Uchiha Sasuke (Mangekyo Sharingan) fighting card value +1."

"Ding, Kabuto Yakushi (Shippuden) +1."

"Lord Orochimaru, why are you taking me to the border?"

Orochimaru stopped and turned around to look at Uchiha Ryosuke meaningfully.

Not explained.

Uchiha Ryosuke looked at Orochimaru who had disappeared on the street, and a serious look appeared on his face.

"What the hell is this Orochimaru doing?"

Uchiha Ryosuke thought for a moment and thought of several possibilities, but he was still not sure in the end.

“Forget it, I don’t want to think about him anymore. Anyway, starting tomorrow, I will follow him to the front line.

I guess it’s a good thing that I can see him every day.

After all, the difference between Kabuto Yakushi's fighting card value and Sasuke's fighting card value is large enough to upgrade.

This is a good opportunity. I can use this opportunity to get some fighting points from Orochimaru.

As for the fighting card value of Senju Tobirama (the young man)...the third generation has not revealed any fighting card value since his work report today. I guess he has been really drained of it.

The only one he could contact and who could generate the same fighting card value as Tobirama Senju was Tsunade.

Now that I have obtained Tsunade's position, when the front line is not so tight and I have some free time, I will sneak away to see Tsunade!"

Uchiha Ryosuke was planning, determined in his heart.

Not long after, Uchiha Ryosuke returned home.

Looking at the clean yard, Uchiha Ryosuke smiled more.

Our younger brother Shisui is the best. Even now after practicing with the strong men of the family, he still knows how to do housework.

He found a mat in the room and lay down directly in the yard.

Turn over and lie on it.

Don’t mention how comfortable it is!

I have been very busy lately and haven’t had a good rest yet!

Close your eyes slightly and enjoy it.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Uchiha Ryosuke sensed the person outside and his comfortable expression disappeared.

"Squeak!"

After opening the door, Uchiha Ryosuke looked at the visitor with a polite smile on his face.

"Madam, how come you have time to come here? Why don't you come in and sit down?"

The person who came was Uchiha Mikoto.

Looking at the beautiful woman who was a little thinner than before, Uchiha Ryosuke was not as enthusiastic as before and spoke calmly.

"Ryosuke, excuse me for disturbing you!"

Uchiha Mikoto seemed to have expected Uchiha Ryosuke's attitude. She spoke softly with a gentle look on her face.

Uchiha Ryosuke did not stop her and let her in.

"This is the sushi I made for lunch today. Don't you like the sushi I made? I heard that you were back at the family, so I brought some for you!"
