"Has the three generations of Kazekage replied?"

"No response yet."

"Send someone to Shayin Village to urge again, let Shuo Mao be the messenger, and help that Kazekage-sama make up his mind."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The ninja who was standing at the table waited for three or four seconds, and when he saw that Hokage-sama had no other orders, he quickly retreated.

As the days passed, the authority of Orochimaru, the fourth generation of Hokage, slowly took root in the hearts of the people, and he established an unshakable authority with his extraordinary wisdom, exuberant energy, and old and spicy methods.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the staff of the Hokage Building.

Walking in the Hokage Building, every time I hear someone talking, I can always hear how wise and powerful the four generations of Hokage-sama are, and hundreds of clerks in the entire building all admire this Hokage-sama.

The subordinates retreated cautiously, and the empty room was very plain, without calligraphy and paintings, and there was no smoke that filled the entire room.

Orochimaru sat quietly behind his desk, thinking about what to do about what might happen next.

This time, the fog shinobi went ashore, the rock shinobi went south, and the cloud shinobi was also ready to move, and Konoha fell into a situation where enemies were on all sides in an instant.

Orochimaru was not surprised by this.

The strength of Konoha is not something that is happy to see for the rock ninja, the cloud ninja, the mist ninja, or even the sand ninja.

The five great countries and the five ninja villages have been established with each other for forty-five years, and in less than half a century, the five ninja villages have launched several wars, and they have formed a deep hatred that cannot be resolved with each other.

For example, due to the death of the second Hokage, Konoha hated Yun Shinobi extremely much, and the death of the second generation of Mizukage and the second generation of Tsuchikage made this two ninja villages in the south and north extremely unharmonious, and so on.

But the irony is that it is precisely because of the disharmony between the five ninja villages that a situation of mutual containment has been formed, and a delicate balance is maintained, no one force will surpass the other four, and no force will fall and become the four great ninja villages.

Everything went according to the original Hokage's vision, and if it weren't for Madara Uchiha and Kurojuku secretly stirring up trouble, this situation would have been going on for quite a long time.

The reason why Orochimaru invited Sand Shinobu to participate in the battle was not because Konoha was difficult to support alone, but just to eliminate a hidden danger.

How long the alliance between Konoha and Sand Shinobi will last is completely unknown, and Orochimaru never expected Sand Shinobi to work together with his family, which is unrealistic.

What he is doing now is to force Sha Shinobi to make a statement, either to reneg on the alliance and the two families to fight again, or to abide by the alliance and obediently send the soldiers and horses to the front line to fight side by side with his family.

I'd rather force Sand Shinobi to make a decision now, he doesn't want to wait until the time when the cloud ninja in the north is also gone, if Sand Shinobi makes waves at that time, it will be very troublesome, Konoha has developed very rapidly in recent years, but if you want to deal with the four major powers on your own, you will inevitably break your muscles and bones.

"Is there any news from the east?"

Orochimaru suddenly asked.

"A report arrived yesterday and has not been heard from today."

A voice from nowhere echoed through the room.

"Where's the north side?"

"There hasn't been a response yet, but if the calculation is correct, the country of grass is probably at war at this moment."

The two fronts of the north and south are fighting at the same time, and the pressure on Konoha today is not too great, and the fog forbearance is weak, and under the attack of the army led by the water without the moon who is familiar with the inside story, the offensive of the fog ninja was completely contained, and the battle report that came yesterday, the fog ninja was driven into the sea from the shore, and the battlefield began to shift to the islands scattered in the sea.

The source of pressure is mainly the two countries in the north, and Iwa Shinobi has already made a move, but Yun Shinobi is still waiting and seeing.

"With Shuo Mao's predecessors coming forward, I think the three generations of Kazekage should not make an irrational choice." Orochimaru pondered for a while, and all aspects were considered, and now he was worried about Onoki who might personally attack from the north, and Madara Uchiha lurking in the shadows.

"Bang ——!"

"Hokage-sama, something is wrong!"

The door was forcibly slammed open by violent means, and the man in a white coat, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, stumbled to the floor with a panicked face.

“······ Stand up. ”

Orochimaru waved his hand and repelled the shadows who appeared in the corner, his eyebrows curled into a pimple, staring at the man lying on the floor.

"Hokage-sama, ······ something happened"

"Stand up and speak slowly."

The corners of Orochimaru's eyes drooped, and his golden vertical pupils looked faint.

“······” The man in the white coat got up with his hands and feet, reached out and dusted off his clothes, took two steps forward, and narrowed the distance, "Hokage-sama, a valuable item from the ninjutsu research and development department has been stolen. ”

"What is it?"

The voice instantly muffled for a few minutes, as cold as nine cold days.

The man in the white coat shuddered and foamed, "It's the highest-grade research item provided by Lord Guanyue, that ······ The third generation of Mizukage. ”

After saying that, the man shrunk his neck and made the appearance of withstanding the storm.

However, the storm did not erupt as expected.

"The body of the third generation of Mizukage was stolen? When did it happen? ”

Orochimaru's questioning was calm, without the expected rage, as if he was dealing with another ordinary thing.

"It should have been last night, and I went to the research laboratory early this morning, and the thing was gone, so I hurried over to report the news." The man said worriedly.

"Last night? Didn't the guards find anything? ”

"No, not only the guards, but even the two people who worked all night in the research room next door were unaware, one of them was a ninja of the Yamanaka family." The man replied quickly.

"The people of the Yamanaka family······"

Orochimaru lowered his head and pondered, this thing was a little strange.

The ninjutsu R&D department sounds normal, but its main responsibility is to dissect corpses.

As we all know, the corpse of a ninja is a treasure, and the ninjutsu R&D department is a treasure digger, digging up the secrets contained in each corpse.

The corpses of enemy ninjas captured by Konoha ninjas during the battle are usually sent to the ninjutsu research and development department after the battle, where they can study the Blood Inheritance Limit, Secret Ninjutsu, and other high-level ninjutsu, just like playing a treasure hunting game.

The corpse of the three generations of Mizukage is naturally the most valuable research material, carrying the boiling blood inheritance limit, and at the same time proficient in many water escape ninjutsu unique to the Fog Hidden Village, and there are many secrets of the Fog Hidden Village in his head, this is a super treasure, and it is the highest level material that the ninjutsu research and development department has ever handled.

It is precisely because of the preciousness of the materials that the ninjutsu R&D department has studied it with great care, and more than two years have passed so far, but the research on the corpses of the three generations of Mizukage has still not been completed thoroughly.

"Being able to steal the corpses of three generations of Mizukage from the heavily guarded ninjutsu R&D department without alarming anyone······ This is not something that a random thief can do. ”
