Chapter 311 Shallow Water Can't Raise a True Dragon
A few days after Tsunade succeeded to the throne, an uninvited guest came to her door. It was Uchiha Itachi, the loving brother.
With him came Scorpion of the Red Sand, and the two of them came to the outskirts of Konoha Village without hiding their figures, looking at Konoha Village in the distance ahead.
"Is this Konoha? It does look a lot more prosperous than many other ninja villages!"
Scorpion, who was hiding inside Feiliuhu, spoke slowly, without any emotion in his tone.
The reason why he agreed to come here with Itachi was that he wanted to see what the village was like that gave birth to such a ruthless man like White Fang. He has not forgotten the hatred for his parents over the years.
Itachi didn't care at all that his partner changed from Kisame to Sasori, as long as it didn't affect his ability to continue slacking off in the organization.
Since the Third Hokage and Danzo are both dead, the only two people who knew his identity have also disappeared. The purpose of his return this time is no longer to warn Danzo, but he wants to see his Ododou and tell the other party not to slack off.
"Let's go! Let's see how powerful Konoha Village is now!"
After saying this, the two of them immediately disappeared without alarming anyone.
The subsequent development of the event was not much different from the original work. Naruto and Sasuke, who were strolling around, were first found by Itachi.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya was also nearby, and Itachi and Sasuke had a friendly exchange, and in a few words, it made the stupid younger brother feel the heavy love from his brother.
In order to make his purpose less obvious, he slapped Naruto, who was yelling at the side. When he was about to take Naruto away, Jiraiya suddenly exploded and finally retreated in disappointment.
"Itachi! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
Sasuke was so shocked that he fainted. The damage to him was not only from the gap in strength, but also from the mental blow.
He never expected that after several years, he still lost at the hands of Itachi with just one look, which was a little hard for him to accept.
At this time, his desire for power became even stronger. No matter what Orochimaru's purpose was, he was determined to give it a try!
It was also on this day that Orochimaru's reappearance triggered the plot mission.
"Host triggers the plot mission, Sasuke's training!"
"Host can make the following choices: 1. Do your best to improve Sasuke's strength for three years! Reward: issued according to the final result! 2. Give up the mission, reward: Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!"
To be honest, the rewards this time are really worth seeing, especially the second item which is no longer some useless stuff.
Orochimaru was tempted by the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, but he remembered that a master once said: I will give one million to anyone who betrays me, so shouldn't those who always support me get 100 million?
The pattern needs to be expanded. Although he does not have a pair of invincible eyes now, he has become a little disdainful of the kaleidoscope.
After receiving the task, Orochimaru took action immediately.
"The five of you go to support Sasuke and stop the enemy's pursuit!"
The Sound Five are gone, but there is still no shortage of substitutes.
These people are Kabuto, Akado Kai, Ken Misumi, Kin, and Mizuki.
Finally, this guy was the one that Kabuto had helped escape from prison not long ago, and Orochimaru promised to let him go after he was done with this! He also held a grudge against Konoha at this time.
"You will take the lead in supervising this matter. Don't be too ostentatious, but be powerful enough!"
He patted Kabuto's shoulder, then motioned for them to go out and do the work. Orochimaru was still very relieved with Kabuto leading the way. This guy has become more convinced of Orochimaru since he knew that his revenge had been achieved.
Although Orochimaru acted like he valued him very much and let him observe many materials on ninjutsu, he didn't care what he thought in his heart. After all, the gap in strength was there, so loyalty didn't matter.
The reason why they went to so much trouble to do this for Sasuke was naturally because they wanted to see his determination. People would never cherish things that are too easy to get.
In ancient times, Guan Erye went through five gates and killed six generals to meet Liu Bei, but he remained true to his original aspiration; today, Sasuke is busy pursuing his studies, and he keeps moving forward despite encountering mountains and building bridges over rivers.
Wouldn't it be considered a good story in the ninja world of later generations?
Not only that, he also had to force the other party to continue fighting with Naruto, and let him see his own strength clearly.
Of course, this is their business, Orochimaru will not interfere, he just needs to watch quietly.
That night, Sasuke, who was recuperating in the Konoha Hospital, suddenly felt a little chilly. He turned his head and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight slanted into the ward.
As if he had sensed something, Sasuke got off the bed, climbed out of the window and onto the roof.
Under the cover of moonlight, Konoha seemed exceptionally quiet late at night. The breeze blowing from afar mixed with a hint of coolness also made Sasuke completely alert.
"I remember there are still two days until the agreed time. Am I too sensitive..."
He looked around at the empty area and calmed his slightly agitated heart. Just as he was about to go back to the ward to rest, a few figures jumped onto the roof in the distance, which immediately stopped him from moving forward.
The feeling of uneasiness and restlessness resurfaced in my heart, and at the same time, I became more alert.
When he saw the figure opposite him clearly, his heart beat faster and his breathing became a little disordered.
He had seen Kabuto, Akadoun and others, and his identities had been confirmed. They were all Orochimaru's subordinates.
The two sides were not far apart, but the five people on the opposite side did not speak. After adjusting his glasses, Kabuto waved at Sasuke, motioning him to follow.
Then a few of them disappeared on the roof first and rushed straight towards Konoha Village.
Sasuke only hesitated for a moment before following in the other's footsteps, but when he reached the entrance of the village, he saw an unexpected figure and slowly stopped.
"Sasuke! Where are you going?"
Sakura, who was sitting on a bench, stood up immediately when she saw the person coming. Judging from her appearance, she must have been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Sakura continued:
"Are you going to look for Orochimaru?"
When the truth was revealed, a hint of panic flashed across Sasuke's eyes, but he calmed down the next moment.
"It's none of your business!"
Sakura has been uneasy ever since the Chunin Exam, especially after learning from Kakashi that Orochimaru's target might be Sasuke.
She had been waiting here for a few days, otherwise she wouldn't have blocked the other party here by such a coincidence.
"Don't leave, okay? I'll let Kakashi-sensei teach you... and your companions are here...!"
As Sakura spoke, she walked forward and hugged her. Her almost pleading voice made Sasuke feel uncomfortable.
Feeling the other person's slightly trembling body and the wetness on his back, he was indeed a little shaken at this moment.
However, the man's words and the pair of contemptuous eyes seemed to echo in his ears again. When would he be able to catch up with that man and avenge his people?
Shallow water cannot support a true dragon. Konoha is too small and there are too many excellent ninjas. The village will not devote many resources to him.
On the other hand, although Orochimaru is dangerous, he is very powerful and takes him seriously! In order to get revenge and become stronger, he will do anything to get the skin of a tiger!
The dragon has never met anyone, so it swims among the fish and shrimps. This trip is like a fish entering the sea and a bird flying into the sky. From now on, it will never be bound again!
"Let me go, Sakura! You don't understand what I'm carrying!"
As he said that, Sasuke broke free from the other's embrace and continued to move forward resolutely, leaving the beautiful woman alone in tears.
