Chapter 209：

People will definitely die in war, but Kumogakure lost hundreds of people without even seeing Kirigakure's face.

It's quite a shame.

However, although one-third of the ship was lost, the remaining ships could still accommodate these people, but they were a bit crowded.

And after the tsunami hit, Yunyin became much more cautious.

Next, after Nei Yunyin reorganized the fleet, they no longer dared to move forward together, but divided them into batches.

I'm afraid Kirigakure has similar methods.

The result is that Kumogakure's speed drops sharply.

The time to seize the opportunity was completely lost.

If Kumogakure's large forces arrive at Kirigakure and fail to capture the Twin Islands, Iwagakure will most likely launch a surprise attack on Kumogakure's hometown.

At that time, Kumogakure's pressure will be very great.

But at this time, Kumogakure's current position was already past the middle of the road, and was closer to Kirigakure.

Raikage was still planning to land on the island first. After all, there were two jinchuriki on the island who could give it a try.

Now it depends on whether Uchiha can stop Iwakaku's attack.

…

Hokage's office.

"Old man, have you received the news from Kirigakure?"

Orochimaru walked in with a high energy, which he rarely looked like this usually.

The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette and let the smoke slowly drift out.

The whole face was filled with smoke.

"We have many spies there in Konoha, and they received the news immediately."

"The news on the sea has spread to all the major forces."

"As for the island, the closest one is Ibiki. He is performing a mission nearby and should be able to land on the island today."

Orochimaru nodded, then smiled gloomily: "The group of Uchiha from Otogakure Village went to the Shikoku Road."

"Itachi and Shisui are both at the Water Kingdom battlefield."

"Oh?" Sandai's face was solemn.

"Is the information reliable?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and swept it.

"Don't worry, Natsuki told me, and asked me to cooperate with him to hold you down. The person who told you Uchiha is actually near Konoha."

"Actually, I just don't want you to ruin the cooperation between him and Kumogakure."

The third generation pondered for a moment. If the Uchiha people were in Konoha, then Konoha would definitely not let Sunagakure or Iwagakure enter the Land of Fire.

That would be too dangerous. If Iwagakure or Sunagakure collaborated with Uchiha to attack Konoha, Konoha would be in great danger.

So if we want stability, Konoha will seal the border.

In this way, Iwagakure will not be able to borrow the road from the Land of Fire to the Iwagakure battlefield for the time being.

The cooperation between Natsuki and Kumogakure was achieved.

"Natsumu has such a deep plan."

Uchiha, the current clan leader, and Fugaku can be said to be two extremes.

Orochimaru had a sick smile on his face: "It's a pity that he missed a move."

The third generation looked at Orochimaru's look and knew that Orochimaru already had a solution in his mind.

"Orochimaru, what is your countermeasure?"

Orochimaru said confidently: "Now that Kumogakure has sent a large number of people to Kirigakure, my hometown must be empty."

"Old man, now you just need to open an opening for Iwagakure so that some people can pass through. It doesn't need to be too many, about two hundred."

"Uchiha went to the Shikoku Road just to prevent Iwagakure from borrowing the road. Then the two sides will definitely fight."

"No matter who wins or loses, Uchiha or Iwagakure, it will be in Konoha's favor."

"Once the Uchiha people show up, they won't be so threatening."

"Moreover, as long as you let out the wind, Iwagakure will send elites to kill the Uchiha with you, and Natsuki's people will have no choice but to block Iwagakure's people."

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.

I didn't expect Orochimaru to have such a political mind.

It is true that the Uchiha team leaving Otogakure Village is always a hidden danger hiding in the dark.

If Konoha releases such news.

Uchiha definitely wouldn't dare to gamble.

According to the hatred between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, there is a high probability that Iwagakure will not let go of this opportunity to go to Kumogakure to fight the autumn wind.

Although I don't know what Uchiha's ultimate goal is, Uchiha will definitely not let Iwagakure pass at this time.

The enemy on the surface and the enemy hidden in the dark are two different concepts.

In this way, Konoha will be less at risk of being attacked by surprise.

The third generation nodded. Konoha could weaken Uchiha without spending a single soldier. That was the best.

Anyway, it was just to let two hundred people pass by Iwagakure.

It seems that Natsuki using other gods to control Orochimaru was the biggest mistake he ever made!

Thinking that Orochimaru had secretly handed over all the food and beverage recipes for Uchiha to live in peace to the daimyo.

The Third Hokage felt relieved.

As long as there is a suitable opportunity, Konoha can fall out with Uchiha.

"Don't worry, Orochimaru, I'll notify the Tsuchikage immediately."

The Third Hokage is becoming more and more satisfied with Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru's next words made his face fall.

"Old man, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go back to the laboratory first."

Looking at Orochimaru's leaving back, the third generation felt a little powerless. Now Orochimaru just has revenge on the Uchiha clan.

But he wasn't interested in the position of Hokage at all, and he didn't train his subordinates or do any tasks.

I like to spend time in the laboratory doing experiments every day.

Regarding Orochimaru's behavior, the Third Hokage hesitated again.

But he didn't hesitate long before relaxing.

If you still have time, you can observe again. At least Orochimaru is much stronger than Jiraiya.

…

Chapter 256 The truth pursued

Konoha Village.

Orochimaru returned to the laboratory.

But he saw Anko Mitarashi pacing back and forth at the door.

A smile appeared on Orochimaru's face:

"Little Hongdou, why are you finally willing to come see the teacher?"

Hongdou hesitated, but still mustered up the courage:

"Teacher, I want to know why you didn't take me with you when you left."

"What exactly is my sealed memory?"

Anko originally had a cheerful personality, but in front of Orochimaru, she was like a docile kitten.

Especially seeing Orochimaru's appearance as before, Anko seemed to have returned to the time when she followed Orochimaru's teacher.

Orochimaru became her teacher when she was very young.

She also liked Orochimaru very much back then, and has always been proud of being his disciple.

But in the end Orochimaru defected and she also lost a memory.

After she woke up, she was told that Orochimaru wanted to satisfy his endless desire for exploration and pursue greater power.

As a result, he went beyond the realm that ninjas should abide by and began to get involved in the development of forbidden techniques.

In the end, cruel human experiments were conducted.

Finally, he was discovered by the Third Generation Master and defected.

As a disciple of Orochimaru, Anko was subjected to endless questioning and surveillance.

His once proud identity as a Sannin disciple had become a mark of shame.

So he resented and hated Orochimaru.

And the curse mark left by Orochimaru on her neck would appear from time to time, reminding her.

She will always have the mark of Orochimaru on her body.

At this time, Anko hated Orochimaru more than she loved him. After suffering like this for so many years, Anko was finally able to let go.

The announcement in the village caught Hongdou off guard.

Orochimaru was wrongly accused. After Anko saw the news, her first reaction was to go to the Third Hokage for verification.

After receiving a positive reply from the Third Hokage, the hatred in Anko's heart became less and was replaced by confusion.

Since Orochimaru was wrongly accused, why didn't he take him away back then?

Later, Anko was kidnapped inexplicably, only to discover that Orochimaru was Uchiha's spy.

After some struggle, he chose to tell the Third Hokage.

Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage gave her a bigger surprise. Orochimaru was actually an undercover agent who had infiltrated Uchiha.

Today she finally summoned up the courage to come to Orochimaru, just because she wanted to know what the sealed memory was.

Orochimaru seemed to have expected it: "I thought you didn't have the courage to ask me. If you want to know, come with me."

With that said, he turned around and walked towards the house.

Anko calmed down and followed Orochimaru.

There is an operating bed in the room and a stool in front of the operating bed.

Orochimaru pointed to the stool and motioned for Anko to sit on it.

Anko was a little nervous, but she sat down obediently.

Orochimaru moved his fingers and then formed a seal.

Finally, **** pointed at Anko's head.

"untie!"

A black dividing line appeared on Anko's head.

Then they all broke off one by one, and finally dissipated in the air.

One memory after another flashed through Hong Dou's mind.

Taro Island, Jiro Island, Mother Island, Strange Island…

At that time, Anko wanted to become an excellent ninja like Lord Orochimaru.

But Hongdou saw the half-human, half-fish monster in the fish tank.

That scene with great visual impact deeply touched Hongdou's heart.

While he didn't trust Orochimaru in his heart, he was planted with a curse seal by Orochimaru.
