It was 8:40 p.m., and after confirming that Tsuruko and Sakura were safe in Konoha, Aino stood up from the ground, shook his princess dress, and lifted the maze barrier.

Ai Ye, who had done all this, glanced around her, and her brow suddenly furrowed, because it seemed that someone else had passed by in the forty minutes that she had been away.

'It's not a ninja of Konoha who cleans the traces......

Ai Ye's pupils emitted a faint blue light, and after carefully examining the footprints left on a towering giant tree near him, he moved his gaze to the depths of the forest.

"It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it......

The corners of Ai Ye's mouth hooked up a sinister smile, and the direction of the group of people passing by was exactly where they were going, that is, the stronghold of Orochimaru.

Coupled with the fact that he deliberately swept away the traces he left behind, Ai Ye was 100% sure that those people were definitely Tuan Zang's subordinates, and the purpose of their coming here was to spy on Orochimaru.

Being too cautious is sometimes not a good thing, as this habit can be exploited by your enemies in turn.

Obviously, Tuan Zang didn't have this understanding, and while years of smooth sailing had narrowed his vision, it also erased the vigilance he should have.

Thinking of this, Ai Ye took out a talisman from his bosom and attached it to his body.

As the talisman emitted a faint glimmer, Ai Ye's figure began to gradually merge with his surroundings.

This is a simple trick, of course, this simplicity is only for people at Aiye's level.

At this time, Ai Ye was not just hiding his body, smell, energy fluctuations and even entities, everything that could expose his existence was turned invisible under the action of this talisman.

The only drawback is that if you want to do it, then Ai Ye must show his body in advance.

But even so, this move is extremely deadly for ninjas who have no special observation methods.

By the way, although this move is extremely convenient and easy to use, for Ai Ye, the attack using this move is no different from a sneak attack, and it is an act that she hates very much.

So if it wasn't a last resort, Ai Ye would never use this trick, although the current situation is not particularly urgent, but ...... Since the other party is unkind to us, then we don't have to follow the rules.

Then, Ai Ye, who had turned into a ghost-like existence, galloped away in the direction of his target without looking back......

……

At the same time, Sakuraku is leading Tsunade and Jiraiya to Aino's location......

Naruto, who wore a Tsunade necklace around his neck, followed at the back of the line silently, silently practicing the wolf breath skills that Sakuraku had taught him.

And Jiraiya seems to be a little excited because he has seen a goddess he hasn't seen for many years.,I've been chatting with Tsunade and Shizune.,Hyping about what he's seen and heard in the past few years.。

I have to say,Jiraiya is really talented in storytelling.,Should it be said that it's worthy of home?,Tsunade seems to be a little impatient.,But Mute listens to it very energetically.。

The action of covering his mouth and chuckling from time to time made Jiraiya speak harder.

And Naruko was following Sakuraku's side, she had already mastered the wolf breath skill, and she was still not interested in Jiraiya's things, she felt a little bored, and after glancing at Tsunade behind her again, she was a little curious and said to Sakurara: "Don't you think Tsunade's attitude towards us has changed a little too quickly?" ”

"She's a very decisive woman......"

When Sakuraku heard this, she smiled slightly, turned her head to look at Naruko and said, "When she decided to take over the baton thrown by the third generation, she had already begun to think from Konoha's point of view. ”

"To be honest, I'm a little worried......"

Naruko's perennial distrust of humans made Naruko very jealous of Tsunade's performance, "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, after listening to your plan, she immediately decided to help you and Ai Ye, you know, she said when she was in the short book street before, 'find a way to help you solve it'." ”

"Orochimaru is a dangerous person, this is a fact that the entire ninja world tacitly acquiesce......"

Sakuraku confirmed whether she was moving in the right direction, and explained to Naruko without looking back, "And although we are Konoha ninjas on the surface, behind the scenes, we have something to do with Orochimaru. ”

Listening to Sakura's self-defeating words, Naruko's brows furrowed, "Then why is she still helping you?" ”

"Because she wants to completely solve the two hidden dangers of Danzang and Orochimaru."

After saying this, Sakuraku turned her head slightly, looked at Naruko's furrowed brows, and smiled: "Don't you understand? ”

“…… Don't play dumb riddles with me. ”

Naruko pondered in silence for a moment, then sighed a little weakly and said, "If you want to say that you want to solve the group, I can still understand, but what does this have to do with Orochimaru?" ”

"Because of Sasuke and Sakura, Ai Ye's position and I can be said to have been forcibly fixed on Konoha's side."

Looking at Naruko's bitter melon face, Sakuraku explained with a smile, "This is also the reason why Ai Ye and I didn't choose to flip the table, but had to go back to Konoha." ”

Naruko didn't interrupt Sakuraku's words, but listened and thought at the same time.

"Danzou is eyeing the Hokage's position, which is why the Hokage will let us out of the village as soon as we deal with the problem of Akatsuki."

"Because he can't suppress Tuan Zang anymore, it can be seen from this operation against me and Ai Ye that those two advisors can already be said to be people from Tuan Zang's side."

"So the Hokage urgently needs someone who can cooperate with him now, and Tsunade is this person."

"As the granddaughter of the first Hokage, the founder of the Konoha medical class, and the famous slug princess of the ninja world, whether it is in terms of merit or strength, Tsunade is qualified to be this fifth generation Hokage."

"But Danzang is different, all his exploits are not visible, that is to say, if he competes head-on with Tsunade, the loser will be 100% him."

"But he is not willing to let a junior come to power to manage himself, so what should he do?"

Speaking of this, Sakuraku glanced at the thoughtful Naruko and smiled slightly, "Me and Ai Ye have become his primary targets. ”

"As long as you can draw me and Aino into his camp, then you, Tsuruko, Sasuke, and Sakura will all become the chips in his hands, which are chips on the surface, and they are quite heavy chips."

"In the face of Danzo, who controls the two tailed beasts, whether the three generations are willing or not, there is only one option in front of him, and that is to abdicate and give up the Hokage's position to Danzo."

"Controlling the Tailed Beast?"

Naruko seemed to be a little unbearable, and after hearing Sakuraku's words, she sneered disdainfully and said, "He's not afraid that I'll eat him alive with the stupid tanuki?" ”

"The trio is this insurance."

Sakuraku patted Naruko's head and motioned for her to be quiet, then spoke, "He knows the three of them very well

The importance of the group to us, fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, our seven inches, is a trio. ”

"Holding Sasuke and Sakura in your hands is equivalent to grabbing me and Aino, and grabbing me and Aino is equivalent to grabbing you and Tsuruko."

Speaking of this, Sakuraku suddenly sighed, "This is a multiple-choice question that can't be chosen, you may not feel anything, but as a master, you must definitely give top priority to your own disciples, Ai Ye and I can't gamble with Sasuke and Sakura's lives, even if we win in the end, it will make our conscience uneasy." ”

"That's why Ai Ye agreed to cooperate with Orochimaru, and wooed Jiraiya and Tsunade......"

Naruko touched her chin and nodded, "I seem to understand a little bit." ”

"The only failure of Tuan Zang is to find Orochimaru to be this black pot man......"

Hearing this, Sakuraku smiled and continued: "Let Orochimaru cooperate with his actions, I estimate that he should also pay the corresponding reward, but he doesn't know that Orochimaru also has a covetous heart for me and Ai Ye, so he ignores this point that is most likely to go wrong." ”

"You know, Ai Ye and I have had some degree of contact with Orochimaru, although the way is not very pleasant, but after all, there has been contact."

"I remember you said before that you buried a dark move in the middle ninja exam."

Naruko raised her head, stared at Sakuraku's side face, and asked, "That dark chess, is it Orochimaru?" ”

"That's right, but how to say it......"

Sakuraku's face suddenly showed a helpless expression, "I originally planned to use this dark chess move later, although it is not impossible to take it out now, but ...... Alas, forget it, don't mention it. ”

Looking at Sakuraku's somewhat depressed expression, Naruko was a little surprised, it was the first time that she could see such a negative expression on her face.

Book of Hundred Leagues

"As for what you said, why did Tsunade agree to help me and Aino ......"

Sakuraku didn't seem to notice Naruko's expression, and after adjusting her mind a little, she continued, "Actually, the reason is very simple, because she knows that Aino and I are in contact with Orochimaru. ”

Hearing Sakuraku say this, Naruko was simply a second monk who was confused, and she asked with a confused expression, "What kind of bullshit reason is this?" Shouldn't she and Orochimaru have an adversarial relationship? ”

"But I am an ally with her......"

Sakuraku looked at Naruko's even more confused expression, and said with a smile: "The meat bun is delicious only if it is sandwiched with meat, if there is no meat, it is just two cakes, do you think anyone will eat it?" ”

The moment she heard this metaphor, Naruko raised her head sharply as if she had been empowered, and said, "She wants to use you and Aino to contain Orochimaru!" ”

"That's right......"

Seeing that Naruko finally figured it out, Sakuraku smiled and patted him on the head, "If our plan succeeds, not only can we completely eliminate Danzo and Orochimaru, but Konoha can also get two powerful tailed beasts and two powerful combatants." ”

Speaking of this, Sakuraku turned her head, looked at Naruko, who was still a little shocked, and slowly said, "And we can also continue our next plan step by step, it's a win-win situation." ”

“…… Did she come up with all these things on the fly? ”

Naruko suddenly glanced at Tsunade with some fear, "With that little bit of information? ”

"It's not as exaggerated as you think, she just followed our plan and made a little modification."

Although she said so, Sakuraku still glanced meaningfully at Tsunade, who was talking to Jiraiya, "But it is undeniable that she is indeed very smart." ”
