Naruto who made a lot of money at the beginning

"If these two damn old guys weren't in the way, it wouldn't be difficult to capture the Sand Ninja Village." Orochimaru said with a hint of unwillingness, looking at the endless desert ahead.

It's not that Orochimaru is bragging. It was Konoha that was attacked by Suna Ninja Village in the first place. Now the battlefield has been moved from the Country of Fire to the Country of Wind, which explains the problem very much.

However, the appearance of two consultants from Sand Ninja Village changed the entire war situation again.

Several sneak attacks caused heavy losses to Konoha, and an ambush was laid in Kawanoguni, which once again severely damaged Konoha's reinforcements. Now there is a tendency to counterattack Konoha and invade again.

"Much more reliable than some of our consultants in Konoha."

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Like Sand Ninja Village, Konoha also has two advisors. He also became famous in the First World War, and then... there was no more.

However, Orochimaru can say such words, but other ninjas dare not accept his words. The power of Konoha's advisors is second only to that of the Hokage.

"Nobunaga Chuunin, what do you think?" Orochimaru turned his head and glanced at Nobunaga, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and asked with interest.

Nobunaga's record in the Land of Grass, coupled with his performance in previous support, is enough to prove that he has the qualities to at least become a chuunin.

Orochimaru looks at people with very vicious eyes. After learning about Nobunaga's performance, he was directly promoted without saying anything.

As the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, he still has this power.

So Nobunaga has naturally become a chuunin, and the team has officially changed from Team Dai to Team Nobunaga. Not only that, Orochimaru also deliberately kept him, with the intention of cultivating Nobunaga as his own staff.

Under the envious gazes of everyone, Nobunaga slowly spoke.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Sand Ninja want to attack us and we can't stop them. Then just wait until they come and break one of their hands."

Nobunaga's suggestion is very simple and crude. To put it bluntly, it is sneak attack and counter-sneak attack. Anyway, we all know that the other party is going to make a sneak attack, so we can just take this opportunity to ambush the other party.

"Tsk, I thought it was some kind of suggestion. Isn't it the same as not saying anything? How do you know when the other party will sneak attack or ambush?" Nobunaga heard a voice say as soon as he finished speaking.

Nobunaga glanced at the other person and realized that it was a certain jounin, so he stopped talking and continued to close his eyes and meditate. He was not interested in having a meaningless argument. He might as well seize the time to recover more strength while he had this time.

Furthermore, facing the current situation, there is no good opinion in itself.

Either retreat or fight.

Orochimaru didn't want to retreat at first glance, so the only option was to fight. Nobunaga just followed his wishes.

Taking the blame for the leader is the basic quality of a staff member, and Orochimaru just took this opportunity to let him express his position.

Otherwise, we would leave so many jounin alone and ask him, the last chuunin, what he was doing.

The Jonin jumped out to object, and Nobunaga took this opportunity to move.

"Nobunaga Chuunin..." Orochimaru ignored the jounin who jumped out stupidly, and looked at Nobunaga again with deep meaning.

Seeing that he couldn't pretend to be silent, Nobunaga had no choice but to say: "I don't know the time of their attack, so just... lure them out."

I originally wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, but I thought it was inappropriate to say that Orochimaru's psychic beast was a snake, so I changed my mind.

This time, the jounin didn't taunt anymore.

Just now, he was just jealous that Nobunaga was so valued that he couldn't help but speak out. He wanted to understand what had just happened and decisively shut his mouth. He did not dare to continue to make trouble in front of Orochimaru.

The name Leng Jun Orochimaru is not just talk.

Orochimaru nodded with great satisfaction, and then said in a questioning tone: "Nobunaga Chuunin's proposal is good. I think it is implementable. What do others think?"

All jounin:...

Nobunaga:...

Orochimaru's snake-like golden eyes swept over all the jonins, and anyone whose eyes touched them would have the illusion that they were being targeted. No one, not even the jounin, dared to look at him.

Seeing that no one raised any objection, Orochimaru said: "In that case, let's make a plan."

Soon, the corresponding combat plan was formulated. But this time, Orochimaru did not consult Nobunaga again.

After all, Nobunaga is just a chuunin now. If he leaves so many jonins alone and then asks him specifically about this chuunin, then he is not expressing his stance but letting him roast on the stove shelf.

"Nobunaga, chuunin, wait a moment..." Just as everyone dispersed, Orochimaru called Nobunaga again.

When there were only two people left in the room, Orochimaru took out a scroll from his arms: "I have a mission here, and I hope Nobunaga-kun can complete it."

I knew... A trace of helplessness flashed in Nobunaga's eyes, but he did not refuse and took the scroll from Orochimaru very simply.

Opening the scroll, his eyes quickly scanned the mission content above, and Nobunaga probably had something to worry about.

The task is neither difficult nor easy. It can be said to be quite satisfactory. However...it's not quite a chuunin level. If you want to achieve at least the level of a special jounin in Konoha...

Konoha Special... Orochimaru is planning to train me as a confidant.

Yes, Orochimaru is testing Nobunaga's strength, or testing his ability.

It's obvious just from how Orochimaru addressed Nobunaga before and after. Nobunaga is a chuunin in front of others, and Nobunaga-kun in private.

I don’t know if he saw Nobunaga’s hidden strength or because of something else. In short, Orochimaru's vision is much more sinister than that of his teacher, the Third Hokage.

He was very optimistic about Nobunaga.

"Live up to your high expectations."

Seeing Nobunaga put away the mission scroll, Orochimaru showed a satisfied smile again: "I knew Nobunaga-kun would accept this mission."

Aware of current affairs and arrogant...but I don't know what my specific abilities are...

As early as the moment Orochimaru was about to accept Nobunaga as his staff, he found out all the information about Nobunaga.

Including the conflicts between Nobunaga and the Hyuga clan, including the refusal of Inuzuka Jaw's recruitment.

Overall I am quite satisfied.

To be honest, it is much more difficult to recruit a good staff member in the ninja world than to find an elite jounin.

reason?

Ninja, as the name suggests, has been trained as a killing tool since childhood. Everything they learn is based on completing tasks and killing targets. How much brain do you expect them to have? In other words, there is no culture.

Otherwise, why is the entire ninja world dominated by daimyo?

It's a magical phenomenon that ninjas who possess magical ninjutsu can be hijacked by daimyo with little power.

Because productivity is... insufficient?

The ninja god Senju Hashirama gave birth to a forest with a ninjutsu. Although other ninjas are not so exaggerated, it is still easy to increase the country's productivity by several levels.

Even so, the ninja was willing to submit to the great name.

In short, the brain circuits of most ninjas are really magical.

"This is a bit of my ninjutsu experience. I hope it will be useful to Nobunaga-kun." Orochimaru said, taking out a scroll again and handing it to Nobunaga.

Holding the scroll Orochimaru handed him, Nobunaga felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Am I being treated like a carrot and a stick?
