Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

"But life is so fragile..."

With a deep sigh in his heart, Orochimaru put down the documents in his hand, and his eyes began to become a little vague.

He had seen death so many times that he thought he had become numb to it.

But in fact, when he saw the names formed by the deaths, listed in documents and finally transformed into numbers, his heart was still moved.

In fact, he had an idea in his mind a long time ago. This idea appeared when he was a child and learned that his parents had died in battle.

But he has been suppressing the growth of this idea because he does not want to disappoint his teacher, now the Third Hokage of Konoha.

However, as he took over more and more power, he saw more and more transactions and tactics of the Konoha high-level officials, and his mind became more and more active.

"Life is so fragile. It would be great if I could live forever. Then I could learn all the ninjutsu and grasp the truth of the world..."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru suddenly paused, then he licked his tongue and shook his head.

Now is really not the time to think about these things. He can study them carefully when he returns. After all, he has worked with Danzo before.

And this time, Danzo invited him again!

"Lord Orochimaru." Just then, a ninja from the Nara clan walked in and bowed slightly to Orochimaru respectfully.

"Lu Ren, is there anything wrong?" Orochimaru gathered his thoughts and looked at this member of the Nara clan.

Although Orochimaru is very confident, he is sure that he can handle everything.

But as a front-line commander, he had too many things to deal with and there was no need for him to do everything himself.

He Ke also knew very well that even if you can do some things, you have to let others do them. This is the principle of dividing the cake.

As a candidate for the Fourth Hokage, he must understand this principle. Moreover, this is also a way to recruit his own team.

"Lord Orochimaru, Might Dai is here again." Nara Kajin said helplessly, "He still hopes to be able to go on a mission."

"Oh, Might Day?" Orochimaru nodded when he heard the name.

He knew something about Might Dai. This guy was almost in the same class as them, but because of his poor talent, he could only learn physical skills.

Normally, such talent would basically sentence a ninja to death, but this guy never gave up.

Even though he was ridiculed by countless people every day for his title of Genin, he still persisted in doing high-intensity training every day, hoping to get sufficient improvement one day.

Orochimaru admires such people as much as Hatake Sakumo, but admiration cannot change the difference in talent.

"What does he want to do on this mission? He's just a Genin." Orochimaru asked with some amusement. He was really curious.

"I asked other people about it. He wants to find his son." Nara Kajin thought for a moment and said, "His son has been on a mission for more than half a year, but there is no news, so..."

"His son?" Orochimaru tilted his head, thought for a moment, and finally asked with a smile: "Who is his son? Is he on the front line?"

"His son..." Nara Kajin hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "It's Might Guy from Team 6. He went behind enemy lines half a year ago..."

Hearing what Nara Kajin said, Orochimaru couldn't help but frown.

He still had some impression of Team 6, because in order to arrange the Uchiha Clan's mission, he had deliberately selected a team that had suffered personnel losses.

He really didn't expect that Matt Dai's son would be in this class.

And when Orochimaru thought about what was happening behind enemy lines, he now felt a little dissatisfied.

In the area of ​​working behind enemy lines, he has already deployed quite a few teams in the past six months.

But the result is that he hasn't seen much effect so far!

The purpose of deploying the team behind enemy lines is to have them attack important facilities in Kirigakure, especially places like supply stations.

After all, Kirigakure is fighting across the sea. Even if they are madly exploiting the people in the Land of Whirlpools, they still have to rely on sea transportation for supplies.

Sea transportation is time-consuming and laborious. As long as there is a gap in one wave, it will definitely cause obvious changes to Kirigakure on the battlefield.

Although it cannot be said that the Mist Ninja has lost all his fighting spirit, it will at least make him worried.

Although they can increase their efforts, they can directly and unsustainably exhaust the resources and severely harm the people of the Whirlpool Country.

But even a rat will bite when it gets angry. Many resistance organizations have already emerged among the civilians of the Whirlpool Country.

So far, the situation that Orochimaru hoped to see has not occurred.

Although he had to admit that the Mist Ninja seemed to have shrunk a little and there were obviously some wind and waves in the rear, but such wind and waves could not change the situation at the front line at all!

"Lord Orochimaru is worried about the situation behind enemy lines?"

Nara Kajin is worthy of being a member of the Nara clan. He is obviously a smart man. He guessed Orochimaru's worries with just one glance.

"I am indeed worried." Orochimaru did not hide anything. He nodded and said directly: "The performance of Kirigakure is too crazy right now, and we still have to fight with Iwagakure and Kumogakure. If this continues..."

Konoha’s biggest problem right now is lack of manpower, and the multi-line operations have almost drained Konoha’s strength.

If the other villages had not already had a grudge against each other and had not united against a common enemy, Konoha would not have survived until now.

But even if we have held on until now, we are almost at our limit!

Otherwise, Orochimaru would not have sent a team behind enemy lines to cause sabotage, and in the future battlefields between the Land of Grass and Iwagakure, it would be unlikely that Minato Namikaze's team would launch a surprise attack on the Kamubi Bridge.

To put it bluntly, there is almost no one available in Konoha!

"Forget it, let's not talk about these disappointing things." Orochimaru shook his head, and then he said calmly: "Might Dai wants to find his son, so let him go."

"Lord... Lord Orochimaru?" Nara Kajin was stunned for a moment when he heard the news: "You mean, let him go behind enemy lines? He's just a Genin, this..."

"Don't look down on any ninja." Orochimaru licked his tongue gently: "Besides, we don't have that many people, go down."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Seeing this, Nara Kajin could only nod, then he turned and left.

Orochimaru stood up, then slowly walked to the windowsill. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, his eyes became dim.

"It seems that Danzo's mission is accomplished, but kid, you have disappointed me..."

……

Chapter 26: Changes in Half a Year (Part )

In a small town in the area controlled by the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Whirlpools, a group of children were happily chasing and playing with each other on the street.

They shouted loudly, with happy smiles on their faces.

Even the adults who were watching them playing couldn't help but smile.

"Slow down, don't fall on yourself."

Some adults couldn't help but laugh and talk, but it was obvious that they were very happy about what was happening.

You know, half a year ago, there was no other expression on their faces except anger and sadness!

Half a year ago, when a group of ninjas calling themselves Konoha arrived, everything here changed.

At first they didn't believe that these Konoha ninjas could really change much. After all, their number was too small.

But as these people stayed in this small town, everything began to change.

Under the command of a young man who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old but was the leader of this group of ninjas, they began to continuously absorb refugees from other places.

Then start teaching them how to use weapons, how to keep a low profile, and how to cause trouble to those Mist Ninjas!

Although ordinary people like them are also very clear that such training and teaching cannot really give them the strength to fight against ninjas.

However, driven by their deep hatred for Kirigakure, they still chose to study and train, and soon they discovered that such training did have a certain effect.

One time when they were taking a break and went out hunting, they suddenly discovered a Mist Hidden Army in the distance.

Based on what they had learned, they determined the direction of advance and personnel deployment of the Kirigakure army, and immediately notified the Konoha ninjas while running to the direction of the army's advance to set traps.

In the end, this small group of more than thirty Mist Ninjas were surrounded and wiped out by them!

This made them extremely excited and gave them great confidence at the same time. After all, this was also a form of revenge for themselves.

After this incident, they were filled with gratitude and trust towards the Konoha ninjas, so they began to work harder and be more proactive.

Gradually, more and more people came to this village, and even the local resistance organizations began to contact here cautiously.

This further enhanced their fighting power and made them more confident!

"Okay, stop looking."

Just then, one of the adults who was still watching the children playing spoke up.

"We still have training today. For their smiles, we have to work harder!"

"That's right, it's far from enough now, we have to work harder!"

"Let's go, and try to cooperate with the ninjas of Konoha as soon as possible to drive these damn invaders out of our home!"

These civilians were full of passion, while in a house in this small town, Nara Shikagawa was gathering and dealing with various things in distress.

To be honest, the reason why he preferred to carry out combat missions was because he didn't like doing these things.

But he never expected that he would actually meet members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Society and be captured. After being rescued, he went around doing these things again.

But he couldn't object, because among the many Konoha ninjas behind enemy lines, only a few could do this.

Of course, he himself was worried that such an important matter could not be handled by him, so he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose.

But as time went by, he felt that he really regretted it.

At the beginning, there were few people, and the information they needed to gather and the things they needed to deal with were relatively small, but now those resistance organizations keep coming to them.

As well as the captives rescued based on their intelligence, and those Konoha ninjas who were intercepted halfway and sent to the rear to carry out missions, their number is already very, very large!

All together, there are more than a hundred people!

Although most of them are Chunins and Genins, and there are only two or three Jonins, such a configuration can actually launch a small-scale battle.

It is impossible for so many people to squeeze into such a small town, and Uchiha Zong also came up with a solution.

"Send out the capable people here."

At a meeting of the Konoha ninjas, Uchiha Zong, who was the 'commander' behind enemy lines, spoke directly.

Those senior ninjas were rescued themselves, and they also speculated whether it was Orochimaru who gave the order. The Uchiha clan would not tell the truth.

In addition, the Uchiha clan did a good job, so these senior ninjas had no intention of seizing power.

As for the proposal to divide people, all the Konoha ninjas were a little worried at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the best way.

This town has long been far beyond saturation, and concentrating entirely on this one place doesn't fit in with their plan to attack the Mist Ninja.

Therefore, going to other places to train civilians or taking command of the resistance forces and training them has indeed become a good and practical choice.

After some discussion and selection, the more than one hundred ninjas here were divided into several teams and then went to other places.

However, their headquarters still remained in this nameless town. Uchiha Zong was still the commander-in-chief, and because of the headquarters, people like Nara Shikagawa also stayed here to handle these matters.

They were also thankful that among the captives they rescued there were some Inuzuka and Aburame ninjas, which allowed them to rely on bugs and summoning to pass on information.

Otherwise, once they are separated, it would be difficult for them to get in touch again.

"Have the documents been gathered together?" After Nara Shikagawa finished processing the documents in his hands, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Uchiha Shizuka beside him.

After half a year of recuperation and treatment, Uchiha Jing has basically recovered.

She is still extremely surprised that she was able to survive.

She was in such a desperate situation at that time. She didn't want Shisui, whom she regarded as her brother, to die in the land of Whirlpool Country, so she blocked the knife with the awareness that she would die.

But she didn't expect that she would be saved by another Uchiha, who was also a genius in the family, the Uchiha Zong who rarely communicated with the clan members!

With such a personality, Uchiha Jing once thought that this was a cold and arrogant person.

But after chatting with Shisui, she found that the Uchiha clan seemed not to be like that.

According to Shisui, he was a man full of wisdom, kind and powerful.

Moreover, during the six months of recuperation, she had witnessed the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in this unknown town, which made her very curious about the genius of this family.

But unfortunately they never met, her condition was not good and the Uchiha clan was too busy.

Now that she has recovered, she wants to do something within her ability. Finally, she passed the assessment of Nara Shikagawa and came to this place.

"It has been handled. This is a summary of the intelligence, as well as the training situation in other places."

When Uchiha Jing heard what Nara Shikagawa said, she immediately answered while handing over the document, but after handing it over, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Mr. Luchuan, are we going to take action? This information..."

"That's not for us to decide, not even the Jonin can decide, because the commander here is the Uchiha clan."
