Chapter 127: The Captive
Rustling......
The woods were dense and the camp was set up in a clearing, and the breeze rustled the leaves.
"Orochimaru, why did you agree to that plan?"
Jiraiya walked on the muddy road, following behind Orochimaru, questioning Orochimaru's behavior just now.
Hearing this, Tsunade beside him also raised his head, obviously surprised by Orochimaru's decision.
That's for sure, in my impression, Orochimaru has always been a cold character, strategizing, and although he holds the position of commander-in-chief, his style is not aggressive, but biased towards the general trend, using unparalleled advantages to gradually crush his opponent and win the victory.
Although Uchihaji's plan is good, it is too risky, and if it succeeds, it is good to say that if it fails, it will not only affect his own life, but at the same time, it will also cause Hanzo to be alert, thus transferring the whereabouts of the Daimyo.
At that time, even if they released the contents of the note, as long as Hanzo didn't admit it, there would be no way to convict him, but the other party seized the opportunity to use it as a leak point to further frame the entire Konoha with bad intentions and kidnap the Daimyo of the Land of Rain with the intention of subverting the country.
In order to arouse the psychology of the people of the Land of Rain to share the hatred of the enemy, the battle situation that was gradually falling into a disadvantage will also be solved......
However, in the face of the questions of the two, Orochimaru said casually:
"Why?"
The tone was casual, with a unique flatness in his eyes, Orochimaru's body exuded a cold temperament, and he didn't mean to stop at all, so he walked forward like this, and said lightly: "It's just interested." ”
However, is it really just interest?
With his back to the two of them, Orochimaru's voice was casual, but his eyes were full of appreciation, and he had to admit that he was optimistic about Uchiha's plan.
It's not clear where the kid got the information, but if the situation is as Uchiha said, then as long as he can rescue the imprisoned daimyo, it can basically put an end to this war.
Meantime.
Of course, he was not unreasonably supportive, and while agreeing to Uchiha's plan, he also made a request, that is, any accompanying ninja must be persuaded by Uchiha himself, and he would not provide any help.
In this way, even if the plan fails, the losses caused are fully bearable, and once it succeeds, it is a big profit, and no matter how you calculate it, you will not lose money.
"Hehe, Uchiha, how far can you go?"
With a breeze blowing on his face, Orochimaru walked down the road, a wave of anticipation rose in his heart, he wanted to confirm whether everything he had seen at the White Fang's funeral before was real, and if that kid was really such a guy, then ......
They may be truly the same kind of people.
……
……
Konoha side, captive tent.
Although I don't know why Orochimaru suddenly appeared and agreed to this plan, but overall the result was good, and the Uchiha didn't dwell on it so much, and at the moment he was busy with another matter.
Treading ......
The soles of their feet, covered with chakra, stepped on the ground and would not stain any sludge, and the three of them came to the place where the captives were being held together.
It was a simple tent with bright lights inside, and at the same time, there were more than a dozen ninjas outside, all around the area, inside and out, and there was no place to hide.
As soon as the three of them approached, they were discovered, and a ninja wearing a dark costume appeared, looking at the three of them with cold eyes, for this situation, Uchiha had already anticipated it, and calmly took a step back, letting Nara Yuto behind him come forward.
"Nara-sama?"
As the commander of the battlefield, Yuto Nara still has a certain reputation, and the ninja in charge of guarding the captives recognized him instantly.
"Hmm." Yuto Nara nodded, took out something from his clothes that could prove his identity, and after the other party carefully examined it, he exited a passage backwards.
"I've confirmed my identity, Lord Nara, please."
With that, the ninja vanished.
Looking at the speed at which the ninja disappeared, as well as the tight defense here, Uchiha said a little strangely: "Just guarding the prisoners, can you use such strict defensive measures?" ”
Yuto Nara didn't speak, just looked at Uchiha Tsukasa silently, and at the same time, Kakashi behind him also looked at him silently, and it wasn't until a moment later that Uchiha Tsukasa realized what they meant, and stretched out his finger to himself, in a strange tone:
"Is it me?"
"Or else?"
Nara Yuruto's eyes were a little helpless, didn't this guy know what he had done before? Led Kakashi into the Rain Shinobi camp and unknowingly released the captives, causing chaos in the Rain Shinobi's position.
And even to a certain extent, the war that affected the front.
It is precisely for this reason that he witnessed the horror of this kind of battle behind enemy lines, and Orochimaru personally ordered that dozens of powerful ninjas were dispatched from the front line, and the prisoner camp in the rear should be firmly guarded, without the slightest accident.
So much so that now, the strength of these ninjas who take care of the captive camp is all senior ninja without exception, and there are even ninjas lurking in the dark in the title of the book, in order to avoid the incident of the rain ninja camp, which can be seen the impact of the previous events of the Uchiha Division.
"Let's not talk about that."
Shaking his head, Yuto Nara no longer dwelled on this issue, taking advantage of the fact that there was still some distance from the prisoner camp, he frowned and asked, "Why did you come here?" Orochimaru-sama asked you to recruit ninjas on your own in order to break through the blockade of the rain ninja on the battlefield, what does it have to do with this group of captives? ”
He said the truth, in addition to some of the ninjas imprisoned here, there are ninjas from the other two ninja villages, and it's good to put them in the dark, if they are picked out in the open, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be taken advantage of by the two ninja villages to cause disputes, and if it is serious, it may also sacrifice some of the interests of Konoha.
Don't ask why Konoha sacrificed, because the current Hokage family has always focused on maintaining stability, as long as stability can be maintained, even if some benefits are given.
Opposite side.
The Uchiha followed behind Yuto Nara, wearing a black robe and a sharp dagger on his waist, so that he could pull it out at will, and as he walked, he replied:
"To break through."
"Breakout?"
Yuto Nara was puzzled, it was understandable to break through the siege, but why did he come to the prisoner camp? These captives are ninjas from enemy villages.
Fortunately, Uchiha has no intention of hiding it, and since he said it, his purpose is to convince Nara Yuruto.
"That's right, for the sake of breaking through."
With an easy-going tone and a calm look in his eyes, Uchiha first asked rhetorically, "How many ninjas are there on both sides now?" ”
"Uh, almost...... Nearly thirty thousand? ”
Of these, 20,000 were ninjas on the Konoha side, and the other 10,000 were on the rain ninja side, and the two sides converged on a battlefield large enough to cover a distance of several kilometers in the vicinity.
Ninja combat is different from ordinary people, they have powerful ninjutsu, and they are often used to fighting on the move, forests, swamps, and even deserts, as long as the terrain is conducive to hiding their bodies, they are their favorite battlefields.
And what is the most in the Land of Rain?
There is no need to answer, he personally infiltrated the Land of Rain for a month, and the Uchiha is well aware of the terrain of the Land of Rain, with lush woods and dense rainfall, which is extremely suitable for ninjas who are good at water escape, and in such terrain, every ninja has extremely terrifying combat power.
And what are they going to do?
It's crossing! Across this massive battlefield that covers thousands of meters!
Even if you don't talk about the dangers on the battlefield, there are countless ninjas lurking in the forest alone, and in such a situation, if you want to sneak into the rear of the rain ninja quietly, how can you climb to the sky?
Therefore, Uchiha came up with a different way, and that was to use the captives.
