Chapter 85: Stay
Orochimaru licked his lips, and said in a cold voice: "Sha Shinobi, don't leave one!" ”
Hanzo has been defeated, Yuyin has withdrawn from the battle, and the remaining sand shinobi are still Konoha opponents, and Orochimaru gave an order, and the situation immediately turned into a one-sided slaughter.
It only takes a moment of effort, and the sand ninjas have to break through with all their might, but in the end, they are inevitably harvested by the various powerful ninjutsu of the Konoha ninjas, and there are countless casualties.
Hanzo looked at such a scene, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face from time to time, but after all, he didn't say a word, and there was not a single sand shinobi left on the plain.
Eventually, the sand shinobi was slaughtered, and only a few escaped from the net.
"Orochimaru, Yuyin has withdrawn from the battle, you should also withdraw from the Land of Rain, right?" Hanzo said.
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth hooked, and he didn't know if it was true or not, and said: "How about the Land of Rain cede half of the land first?" ”
"Mowing the land? Hum. Hanzo snorted coldly and said, "Not to mention the old man, even Iwakuin in the north will not agree, isn't Konoha ready to go to war with Iwakure?" ”
"But after all, you are the defeated side, do you still want to do nothing to get together and disperse?" Orochimaru said with some sarcasm.
Hanzo was silent for a while: "Then what do you want?" ”
"The Land of Rain promises never to be the enemy of the Land of Fire...... And during the war between Fire and Wind, Konoha will send a small number of troops to the Land of Rain to supervise your actions. ”
"No, this old man can't agree!"
Orochimaru was unmoved: "I'm not negotiating with you, if you don't agree, we'll continue to fight until you die with Yuyin, how about it?" ”
Hanzo clenched his scythe, and the chakra on his body surged faintly: "You ......"
Jiraiya walked over slowly at this time, and said lightly: "You are injured now, even if you are ready to die together, you may not be able to kill me or Orochimaru." ”
Hanzo's expression sank: "Even if you can't kill two, one can still do." ”
Jiraiya suddenly smiled: "I said "or", not "and". Even if it's one, you may not be able to kill it. Looks like you're going to have to read more, Hanzo. ”
“……”
Orochimaru directly waved his long sword and said gloomily: "Whether it is war or peace, Hanzo, you decide." ”
Hanzo's face suddenly became cloudy, and the hand holding the scythe was tense and loose, obviously struggling inside.
In the end, he still sighed slightly, closed his eyes and nodded: "Okay, the old man promises you." ”
Orochimaru showed a wicked smile, raised his hand to swallow the long sword, and licked his lips: "Very good." ”
……
The news of Konoha's triumph in the Land of Rain soon spread throughout the ninja world.
During the Second Ninja World War, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were not yet the opponents of Yugakure Hanzo, and at that time, Hanzo not only defeated the three, but even gave them the title of "Three Ninjas", as if he was an elder cherishing his talents.
And this time, only Orochimaru and Jiraiya easily defeated the former "apex of the ninja world" Sanshoyu Hanzo and forced Yuyin to surrender, which is really embarrassing.
However, although he fought a beautiful battle, Orochimaru, as the commander-in-chief, did not receive much praise, and it can even be said to have a mixed reputation.
There is no other reason, since Orochimaru used the forbidden technique of desecrating the dead in the battle, "Dirt Reincarnation", and also controlled the dead Shinshigeru to kill his son, which was too cruel.
In addition, there are rumors that Orochimaru collected a large number of prisoners of war for human experiments during the war, which also caused him to receive a lot of accusations and criticism.
However, Orochimaru doesn't seem to care about all kinds of remarks from the outside world, doesn't admit it, doesn't deny it, and doesn't respond at all.
8/1/43.
Orochimaru's troops stationed in a riverside plain in the Land of Rain, and organized their men to return to Konoha one after another.
“…… Just now, Mr. Jiraiya told me that by August 5 at the latest, most of the men will return to Konoha to stand by, leaving only 500 people stationed here. Kime Nagaye came over and said.
Ebisu was a little surprised: "So, we can go back soon?" ”
Akai and Ignorant Fire Genma couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
I don't know that Huo Genma is actually okay, Akai and Ebisu still have relatives, and they have been on the battlefield for a few months, so they can't help but feel a little homesick.
Mumu Changye nodded: "That's right, but it's ......"
"But what?"
Kime Nagaye looked at Shiranui Genma and said, "But...... Genma, Jiraiya-sensei wants you to stay. ”
"Why?" I don't know that Huo Genma was stunned.
"According to Konoha's order, Orochimaru-sama needs to go to the country of Kawanoku to assist Danzo-sama, and the five hundred people stationed here will be under the sole responsibility of Jiraiya-sensei, and they will not be evacuated until the situation allows." Mumu Changye said slowly.
"As for why he has to keep you around, according to Mr. Jiraiya himself, I hope you can help him complete the next creation."
"Creation?" Both Akai and Ebisu looked at Shiranui Genma with some confusion.
I didn't know that Genma scratched his head slightly in embarrassment: "Jiraiya-sama sometimes asks me to do some ...... in the process of writing Artistic perfection work. ”
Although it's all done, it's still embarrassing to say this kind of thing like drawing a book, so it's better to cover it up a little, after all, I'm just a child.
Ebisu and the two were puzzled when they heard it, but the corners of Kime Nagaye's mouth were hooked, revealing a meaningful smile.
Kime Nagaye: "The battlefield of the Land of Rain is over, and there is probably no danger in staying here. How about it, Genma, are you going to stay? ”
I don't know Huo Genma hesitated for a moment: "Then our team ......"
He doesn't have any relatives anyway, so it's not a big deal if he stays here and can cultivate with Jiraiya. It's just that the four of them belong to the same team after all, so wouldn't they be separated.
"The instructor and the student should be on the same team for at least two years, so the group will not change. And unless the situation becomes critical, we don't have to carry out major tasks in the future, and it doesn't matter if we don't have members. ”
After a pause, Mumu Nagaye added: "Of course, if the situation is very critical, the formation may still change. In that case, generally speaking, the three of us will add one more team member, and Genma, you, most likely will have to form a new squad and serve as the captain. ”
"As the captain?" Akai's eyes widened.
Mumu Changye smiled: "Yes, theoretically, the middle ninja has the qualifications to serve as the captain of the four-person squad. Although Genma is a little young, he is very top-notch in all aspects, so it is entirely possible to lead a team alone. ”
Ebisu asked, "What about us?" ”
"Hmm...... You may not be assigned to the position of captain until you are fourteen years old. ”
I didn't know that Huo Genma thought for a while, and then said, "Teacher, I'm going to stay in the Land of Rain. ”
