Konoha: Uchiha, I can become stronger by causing trouble

In the current situation in the ninja world, the Mist Ninja and the Cloud Ninja are also enemies.

But in fact, the grudge between the two countries is not very deep, and neither is very interested in each other's territory.

The only territory where there is a conflict of interest is the Kingdom of Tang, but now the two countries have divided the Kingdom of Tang, half for each country, which is just right.

In the absence of any conflict of interest, it would be natural for them to work together to take a piece of the Fire Nation's flesh.

And it is also very simple to know whether your guess is correct.

After thinking for a while, Qianhe asked Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, how many people were killed or injured in the battle between the Mist and Cloud Ninjas five days ago?"

"Hehe, you discovered it too!"

Hearing this, Orochimaru immediately looked at Qianhe with admiration, then sneered: "The two great nations don't know how to act seriously, and the casualties are less than a hundred. Do you really think that I, Orochimaru, am as stupid as Jiraiya?"

"Ah!"

Qianhe also laughed.

In the ninja world, a battle that can be called a large-scale battle requires at least a thousand ninjas to participate on both sides.

In other words, in a melee involving more than two thousand ninjas, the number of casualties did not exceed one hundred.

He used Fire Release: Great Fire to extinguish the crowd, and the casualties were more than that.

But, Orochimaru, you can say whatever you want, but why bring Jiraiya along?

This exposes your unclear relationship with Jiraiya!

"So, Lord Orochimaru, what is our mission?"

Chiga didn't think much about the alliance between the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja. This was an issue that the top leaders needed to consider.

All he cared about now was what his mission would be.

Orochimaru glanced at Qianhe and said calmly: "I have organized a group of ninjas to go to the Land of Hot Springs to investigate the base of the Mist Ninjas and prepare to drive the Mist Ninjas out of the Land of Hot Springs in the future. You should follow me."

Qianhe sneered in his heart. From the previous arrangements, Qianhe already understood that Orochimaru probably had guessed why his team came here.

After all, even an old stubborn person like Tsunade would place Chiga's team near the headquarters to carry out the mission out of personal favors.

How could a snake demon like Orochimaru be so ignorant of the ways of the world?

You know, he still has a slight chance to compete for the position of Hokage!

Instead of trying to please his teacher at this time, why is he making things difficult for Asuma Sarutobi?

It seems that Orochimaru has already guessed why his team came here.

Seeing that Qianhe did not reply, Orochimaru licked his lips and continued:

"Originally, I wanted to place your team near the headquarters. In this way, I would also follow Sarutobi-sensei's wishes and train your team well."

"But because the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja have united, the pressure on the front line has increased greatly, and we are also short of manpower."

"That's why we have to send you to the front line."

"And I heard that Chiga-san is very skilled in the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which gives him a natural advantage in escaping."

"I think this kind of reconnaissance mission is very suitable for your team!"

"Of course, Chika-san, it's okay if you refuse. I can also arrange for you to perform patrol missions near the headquarters."

When speaking of the latter part, Orochimaru used a completely negotiating tone, as if letting Chiga choose.

"I understand! I will lead the team to carry out the reconnaissance mission!"

Although Orochimaru looked like a nice guy who could discuss anything, Chiga did not take the opportunity to ask to stay in the command center.

After all, the other party is already on guard, and if I stay, I will only be acting under their surveillance.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave here and let Orochimaru relax his vigilance.

As for the task assigned to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he certainly had a way to complete it.

Danzo Shimura was tricked by him in the past, resulting in most of the Root Ninjas now being on the Water Country front.

Among them were the Root ninjas controlled by Chiga.

Since I can't complete this task myself, I'll just leave it to the Root Ninja.

If he's lucky, there might even be someone among the Root Ninjas under his control who helped Orochimaru obtain the Byakugan.

Although Orochimaru had always been very careful and left no traces, he definitely did not do it himself.

Seeing Chiga agree, a hint of surprise flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

Are you so easy to accept leaving the headquarters?

Could it be that I guessed wrong? Wasn’t the other party here to investigate him?

"In that case, you can set off tomorrow. I will have my ninjas provide you with the relevant information!"

Orochimaru couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he still felt that it would be better to let Chiga's team leave the command center as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

Chiga responded and left with Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two.

Late at night, after Asuma Sarutobi fell asleep, Chiga opened her eyes and made seals with her hands.

Soon, a Root ninja appeared outside Chiga's tent.

The two did not communicate with each other. Qianhe just took out a scroll from his arms and stuffed it out through the gap between the tent and the ground.

The Root Ninja took it and left in silence.

The next morning, having accepted the mission, Chiga's team left the command center and headed towards the Land of Hot Springs.

The junction between the southern part of the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Fire is not very long, but this reconnaissance mission is not only to investigate the Mist Ninjas guarding the border, but also to go deep into the Mist Ninjas to investigate their specific number, strongholds, supply routes, etc.

If you want to launch an attack on the Mist Ninja of Hot Spring Country, these are essential information.

Therefore, Orochimaru also arranged a number of reconnaissance teams, and all of them had impressive combat capabilities. Only in this way could it be guaranteed that these ninjas could survive and bring back intelligence.

Half a month later.

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Soup.

In a hidden dense forest, Qianhe and two other people were hiding in a tree hole of a big tree.

It is winter now, and the Kingdom of Hot Springs is in the north. It has been snowing heavily these days and the temperature is extremely low.

In order to keep warm, the entrance of the tree hole is tightly wrapped with a thick layer of camouflage cloth to avoid being discovered. There are also a large number of barriers and traps around the tree hole.

This way, even if you are discovered by the enemy, you can react as quickly as possible.

In the tree hole, Chiga slowly opened her eyes, looked at Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two who were still sleeping, quietly took out a scroll from her arms and studied it carefully.

This is an extremely detailed battle map. They have spent a lot of time in the past few days to obtain this intelligence.

The reconnaissance team already knew the area they needed to explore before arriving, and in order to reduce the chance of being discovered, each team acted alone.

The reconnaissance ranges of every two teams will overlap to improve the accuracy of intelligence.

Because of the weather, Chiga's crows are not suitable to appear in the territory of Hot Spring at this moment.

After all, there are not many birds flying in the sky at this season. If crows are used to gather intelligence, they will definitely be discovered by the Mist Ninja.

The most important thing is that his own crows will probably suffer a lot of losses.

According to the requirements of the mission, after finding out the garrison strength of the Mist Ninja at the border of the Land of Hot Springs, we must find a suitable opportunity to sneak into the territory of the Land of Hot Springs.

Although Chiga's action was light, it still woke up Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune.

He looked at the map, and Sarutobi Asuma said to the three people calmly: "Today we will officially enter the enemy's rear, and we will be in danger at any time. You should rest more and recuperate so that you can complete the mission more efficiently."

Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two did not follow Chiga's advice.

Instead, Xihihong said to Qianhe with some concern: "Qianhe, we should be the ones saying this to you. You go to bed later and get up earlier than us every day. Look, you already have dark circles under your eyes."

Shizune also asked in confusion: "Qianhe, why are you so careful this time? Is this mission really dangerous?"

The three of them have been on the same team with Qianhe for a long time, but they have never seen Qianhe take the mission so seriously.

"Hard to say!"

Qianhe said meaningfully.

Since Uchiha Madara is planning to let Scorpion of the Red Sand to deal with him, the force will only be greater when he comes to the Water Country.

So Qianhe also did things very carefully and did not dare to expose herself too much.

But it’s strange to say, it’s been half a month and there’s nothing wrong.

He even suspected that Uchiha Madara was going to give him a big blow.

Qian He lifted a corner of the camouflage cloth on the tree hole, looked at the sky, and said to the three people: "Let's have some breakfast first!"

"Breakfast? Your choice of words is really precise!"

Asuma Sarutobi stretched and complained.

These days they have been operating at night and resting during the day, so Qianhe was right.

After a simple meal, Qianhe took out the map again and said to Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two, "Come here and tell us about our plan for tonight."

The three of them surrounded Qianhe and stared at the map in Qianhe's hand.

"After a few days of safe investigation, we have figured out the patrol routes and shift changes of the Mist Ninjas here. We have completed this task. Next, we will sneak into the Land of Hot Springs."

"Tonight we will pass through Kirigakure's A stronghold, then go north to bypass B stronghold, and then take advantage of the Kirigakure's C stronghold's change of guard to sneak into the territory of Hot Spring Country."

"After entering the Land of Hot Springs, there will be a vacuum zone of about 20 kilometers. There are no Mist Ninjas in this section, so we can take a short break, recover our energy, and then pass through the Mist Ninjas' second line of defense."

Chiga described tonight's operations in detail while pointing out the places the team would pass through on the map.

This is an extremely dangerous operation that goes deep into the enemy's base camp. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded by the Mist Ninja.

Therefore, before taking action, you must plan clearly and think about everything that might happen.

After explaining all the action plans, Qian He asked, "Is everything clear?"

"Clear!"

Qian He asked again: "Is there any problem?"

Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two thought about it, went over Chiga's plan in their minds, and shook their heads, "No!"

Chapter 203 Asma: You Killed Too Quickly

Seeing this, Qian He put away the map and said, "Well, let's take a short break. The operation will officially begin in an hour."

After he finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.

Yuhi Kurenai suddenly asked, "Chiga, what should we do after arriving at the Land of Hot Springs?"

When Asuma Sarutobi heard this question, he turned to look at Chiga.

Qian He glanced at the three of them and said, "I've already thought about it. I'll first pretend to be a war orphan and sneak into the town, and then find an opportunity to obtain the intelligence we need."

“This is a good choice.”

Asuma Sarutobi nodded, and then continued: "But Hong and Shizune are so beautiful, won't the Mist Ninja think there is something wrong at first sight?"

"Asuma, what are you talking about!"

Before Chiga could say anything, Kurenai Yuhi glared at Asuma Sarutobi.

"Asuma, don't expect me to heal you if you're injured!"

And Shizune glared at Asuma Sarutobi with dissatisfaction. She could tell that Asuma Sarutobi's stuttering expression clearly meant he doubted her appearance.

Qianhe gave Asuma a displeased look. This guy always asked some weird questions.

"Hong and Shizune are fine, but I'm afraid that your thick hair will make the Mist Ninja know at a glance that you are the offspring of the Third Hokage!"

[Negative emotions from Asuma Sarutobi, emotion value +50! ]

Asuma Sarutobi's expression suddenly changed, and he flew into a rage: "Asshole, if you keep talking about this, I will never let you go."

What he hated most was when someone mentioned this to him.

As a young boy, he already had an untidy beard at such a young age. Ninjas who were a few years younger than him had to call him uncle.

Qianhe shrugged: "In fact, you should be glad that you have abundant hair. It's a good thing for your family."
