Naruto's strongest flame escape

Chapter 66 Konoha Temporary Headquarters

"Hmph, don't try to fool the past, Dashewan has been taught by me a long time ago."

Tsunade snorted softly, narrowing his eyes slightly and said.

Xuan Yu couldn't help swallowing when he heard the words, and couldn't help but move back slightly.

Just when he thought he was going to eat an iron fist, Tsunade suddenly asked suspiciously: "By the way, where is the Jonin who leads the team in the Iwanin army? How did you escape from his hand?"

Xuan Yu was just about to open his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Dashewan who stepped forward.

"That Jōnin should have been killed by you."

Xuan Yu looked at Orochimaru's gaze, and didn't hide it, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have already solved the person."

"What? You mean, you killed a Jōnin?!"

Tsunade's bright eyes widened slightly, and he said in disbelief.

"Well, that's right, that's right, I almost forgot, Orochimaru, do you still remember that you said you owed me a favor?"

Xuan Yu nodded, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he said to Orochimaru slightly teasingly.

"Hehe, don't worry, I don't like to renege on debts like Zilai, so tell me, what do you want me to do."

Orochimaru turned his eyes, smiled sinisterly, and then asked.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, I owe it first, and I'll talk about it later."

Xuan Yu put the knife back into the sheath, then walked outside, talking as he walked.

"Yes, but what I'm more curious about is how you killed that Jōnin."

The corners of Dashewan's mouth twitched slightly, he nodded, and continued to ask.

Tsunade also looked at Xuan Yu when she heard the words, she was also very puzzled by this.

"This matter will not be clear for a while. Let's go back to the temporary headquarters of the Kingdom of Rain first, and then I will talk to you slowly."

Xuan Yu didn't answer directly, and walked out with the chopping knife in hand, talking while walking.

"Go back to the Command of the Land of Rain? Aren't you going back to Muye Village?"

Tsunade does not want Xuan Yu to return to the Land of Rain, after all, the war is too dangerous, she hopes that Xuan Yu can go to Konoha Village to cultivate for a while.

"Now is not the time to go back." Xuan Yu paused slightly upon hearing this, turned his head and said slowly.

In his eyes, there was a confidence that was different from the past, and Tsunade and Orochimaru were a little surprised.

Xuan Yu immediately smiled, then turned his head and continued: "Let's go, oh yes, put on a cloak for me first, otherwise I will be naked in the rain again when I arrive in the Land of Rain."

Tsunade and Orochimaru saw Xuan Yu took a cloak and were about to leave, but they could only suppress their respective doubts in their hearts for the time being, and then led the troops towards the Land of Rain together.

……

The Konoha Temporary Headquarters was established between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, closer to another small country, the Land of Grass, between the two countries.

Tsunade and Orochimaru led Xuanyu and the Konoha troops, and returned here after a day's journey overnight.

"Is this the headquarters? It looks quite big."

Xuan Yu looked at the flat land in front of him, and said with a little surprise.

The flat ground is covered with houses made of earth, stone, or wood, and there are more temporary war tents, surrounded by woods.

At this time, Xuan Yu had already changed into ordinary clothes in a town along the way, and with the chopping knife on his waist, he looked more like a warrior.

Many ninjas in the headquarters saw Xuanyu standing next to Tsunade and Orochimaru, and their eyes showed doubts.

Since Xuan Yu joined Anbu directly after graduation, and he has grown a lot in the past year or so, not many ninjas here know him.

"Let's go, first go to Senior Shuo Mao and report your situation."

Seeing Xuan Yu's expression, Tsunade also smiled slightly, and then spoke.

Orochimaru arranged for the rescue team first, and then together with Tsunade, he led Xuan Yu towards a stone house closer to the center.

After the three of them entered the stone house together, they also took off their hoods, put their cloaks aside, and continued walking inside.

Xuan Yu carefully observed here, there are several torches hanging on the wall for lighting, there are many stools on the side, and there is a large map on the innermost wall.

What was drawn on it was a map of the Land of Rain, and there was a large table in the middle.

At this moment, a man with silver-white hair was standing by the table with his back to them.

"Senior Shuo Mao, Xuan Yu has successfully rescued him."

Tsunade walked behind Hatake Sakumo, and then spoke.

Hatake Sakumo turned his head, glanced at the three of them, then looked at Xuan Yu and nodded, and said softly: "It's good to come back, this time your behavior was a little impulsive, but fortunately the result is good, this time It’s also thanks to you.”

"Senior Shuo Mao is serious, I just completed the task, and I have gained something this time." Xuan Yu smiled slightly, and then said slowly.

"Oh?" Hatake Sakumo heard this, with a little doubt on his face.

"Commander, did you just finish the meeting?"

Orochimaru felt that there was still a lot of messy atmosphere here, so he couldn't help interrupting.

"Well, I was dragged back by the surprise attack of Iwanin's large troops before. The two troops fought for a long time, and each had casualties."

"I don't know who leaked the information this time. Iwanin Village obviously knows that I am in the headquarters, so the number of the opponent's large army has increased a lot."

"I also just had a meeting with the captains in the army. Since the other side has increased the number of ninjas, we have to think about countermeasures."

Hatake Sakumo nodded, briefly explained the situation, and then said with a slightly gloomy face.

"Yanin Village is still increasing the number of ninjas? You must know that they sent more than 2000 ninjas at the beginning. Wouldn't it increase to [-] ninjas?!"

Tsunade heard the words, with a surprised expression on his face, very puzzled by Iwanin Village's approach.

Xuan Yu understood why Tsunade was puzzled, because the more ninjas involved in a war, the greater the financial and material resources needed, and the longer the war lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be.

Therefore, the number of ninjas dispatched by Konoha Village and Sand Ninja Village did not exceed 2000.

Of course, there are other reasons as well.

For example, the Land of Fire where Konoha Village is located is located in the center, there is the Land of Water overseas, and the Land of Thunder in the north.

Therefore, it is impossible to send all the ninjas to the Land of Rain, and they must be kept to guard the village.

As for Sand Ninja Village, it is more because of the harsh environment of the Kingdom of Wind.

The population of Sand Ninja Village is small, and the number of ninjas is even smaller. Therefore, Sand Ninja Village has remained on the sidelines since the beginning of the war.

"Has the negotiation reached a result?"

Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly after hearing this, and asked in a dark voice.

"For the time being, there is no effective way. With our current number of people, head-to-head confrontation will definitely not work. We can only continue to wait for the opportunity."

Hatake Sakumo pressed his hands on the table, shook his head slightly, and then said in a deep voice.
