I teach kendo in the ninja world

No matter how many doubts Gui Deng Man Yue had in his heart, he still boarded the boat under the pull of Araki and started this seabed prospecting trip.

On the other side, Gui Deng Qianyue's movements were not too slow.

Unlike Araki's nautical exploration with unknown results, the benefits are clearly visible in both the Country of Tea and the Country of Sichuan.

The Country of Tea was already under the control of Kirigakure Village. This time, in order to take advantage of the chaos to "steal" resources from the Country of Kawakawa, Kiden Qianyue, one of the top three bosses in the village, personally ran away Used to sit in charge.

Make sure nothing goes wrong.

In addition to the two of them, the ANBU of Kirigakure Village also went out in force under the instructions of Mizukage Yagura, and began to infiltrate small countries overseas that were known to have their own ninja villages.

The country of Tang, the country of craftsmen, Hongzhou Island, etc. are all included in this list.

While Kirigakure was making frequent moves, several other major countries were not in peace either.

After Obito controlled the Third Raikage and returned to Cloud Hidden Village, he immediately sent an additional three thousand ninja troops to support the AB brothers on the front line.

Together with these people and the Kumo ninjas who had been dispatched one after another before, the number of Kumogakure dispatched in this war had reached an astonishing eight thousand.

This is almost [-]% to [-]% of the total number of ninjas in Hidden Cloud Village.

Moreover, Obito also instructed Kumogakure's ninja school to expand enrollment, and seemed to intend to continue to expand the number of troops.

Such a move can be called militarism even in Yunyin Village, which has always advocated martial arts and likes to engage in arms races.

After all, the population of the Kingdom of Thunder cannot be compared with that of the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire. The two countries can easily send out tens of thousands of troops, but for Kumogakure, this number is almost the entire country.

Therefore, Todai tried his best to dissuade him from this. He presented facts and reason from all directions, hoping to make the Third Raikage change his mind, telling him that Kumogakure Village would not be able to stand it and sooner or later it would be dragged down.

But unfortunately, unlike in the past, this time the Third Raikage seemed to be angry at Konoha. Even if Dodai told the truth, he could not change his mind.

From then on, the chariot of Yunyin Village drove unstoppably into the distance.

……

……

The news of Kumogakure's increase in troops was naturally hidden from Konoha. After all, the number of people on the battlefield suddenly doubled, and everyone could see the problem.

The individual quality of the Konoha ninjas was not enough to allow them to outnumber the Kumo ninjas, so it was inevitable that they would be forced to increase their troops.

Konoha.

Naruto Building.

Orochimaru rubbed his swollen forehead and walked out of the conference room.

Just now, he completed another dispute with the heads of the ninja clans in Konoha, and dug out a group of elite ninjas from their teeth as the backbone. Half of them went to support the Kumogakure battlefield on the northern front, and the other half went to Stand by near the Amegakure battlefield on the Western Front and be alert to movements in Iwagakure Village.

With Konoha's recent defeat on the northern battlefield, the prestige of Orochimaru, the acting Hokage, has also been somewhat affected.

If this had happened in the past, he would never have gone to such trouble to get these ninjas to send troops, and he actually had to argue with them and even negotiate some exchange of interests.

But things are different now. With Konoha's defeat after defeat, the battlefields on the northern and western fronts have moved to the territory of the Fire Country.

Not to mention what the ninjas in the village thought of this series of defeats, even the great names of the Fire Country began to complain.

After all, these are his territories, where he collects taxes.

After the war was over, the casualties of the people would be nothing more. He didn't care about these, but the money collected had become less, which was intolerable.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't gone to meet the Daimyo in person and vouched for Orochimaru with his reputation of being in power for decades, the Daimyo would have forced Konoha to replace him.

After all, as the funder behind it, he didn't have as many worries as those in Konoha who coveted the position of Hokage.

For him, if one doesn't work, just change to the other. If it doesn't work, just keep changing. The big Konoha Village can't even find a qualified Hokage, right?

But even with Sarutobi Hiruzen's guarantee, the daimyo still gave Orochimaru an ultimatum.

If he loses one more time, no one can keep his position as Hokage!

External pressure is also one of the key factors that greatly reduces Orochimaru's prestige in the hearts of those ninjas.

After all, various factors indicate that Orochimaru, the Hokage, will definitely not last long. If this is the case, then why do you still follow a person who is already declining?

If you have this ability, wouldn't it be good to lick the next leader?

Returning to the Hokage's office alone, Orochimaru turned his seat and looked through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the Hokage Rock not far away.

Three majestic heads are carved on the tall yellow-brown rock wall.

The first Hokage, the second Hokage, the third Hokage...

If Orochimaru, the acting Hokage, does his job well, he should become the fourth head carved on the stone wall after the war.

But now it seems that the possibility of taking photos on the stone wall is getting lower and lower.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in the golden snake eyes.

Although becoming Hokage and leaving a statue on Hokage Rock are not his dreams, for a very proud person like Orochimaru, there are some things that he can not value or want, but cannot be said by others. No, he might even be kicked out.

So now he urgently needs a victory to regain his prestige.

His eyes glanced at the map on the table. Those currently fighting Konoha include Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Amegakure...

Without a doubt, the softest persimmon is the rain ninja.

Although there is a core in this persimmon that is so hard that it can break teeth - Sansho Fish Hanzo.

But on the other hand, the only reason why Amegakure Village has the courage and ability to dare to take action against Konoha is their leader Sanho Hanzo.

As long as he is eliminated, Yugakure's threat will be eliminated in an instant.

So, the question now is, after so many years, is the current Orochimaru a rival to Sanho Hanzo?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and the golden snake eyes seemed to reflect the man who once stood on the head of a giant Sanshou fish, and gave him the name of 'Sannin' in a noble and strong manner. Ninja - the demigod of the ninja world, Sansho Hanzo.

Then, the coldness in his eyes became even worse.

Unlike Jiraiya, a pacifist who actually admires Hanzo for protecting Amegakure, and most mediocre people who regard the name of "Sannin" as an honor, Orochimaru has only one sense for Hanzo - disgust.

Because of the name "Sannin", Orochimaru and the others were nailed to the pillar of shame of defeat.

Whenever people mention the three of them, someone will ask, where did the name "Sannin" come from?

Then the King of Ninja Realm began to popularize science. It was the demigod Hanzo who defeated them, and then blah blah blah...

He thought about replacing this name all the time, but he never had the right opportunity.

So now, is the time ripe?

Just as Orochimaru was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The person who walked through the door was a man wearing a long robe with long white hair hanging down to his waist.

He also has pale skin comparable to Orochimaru's.

"Bilyuhu?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly, he naturally remembered this friend from his boyhood.

Although the relationship between them is not as close as that of Jiraiya and Tsunade, for Orochimaru, there are not many people who can be called friends.

But later, as the gap in strength and status between them widened, Beiliuhu gradually faded out of their sight.

It's not clear which party is deliberately alienating them. Anyway, the intersection between them is getting less and less.

We obviously live in the same village, but if we don't take the initiative to invite him, we rarely see him for a long time.

The adult world is so cruel.

If Orochimaru remembered correctly, this should be the first time that Beiruhu took the initiative to find him after his last great ninja war.

"What's matter?"

"I heard you're in some trouble right now."

Biluhu took two steps forward and whispered, "I may be able to provide you with some help, but I also need your help."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru carefully looked at Beiruhu in front of him.

This childhood friend was not very talented, and until now he was just a chuunin.

And his current predicament can't be solved by a mere chuunin?

So Orochimaru waved his hand and declined politely: "I appreciate your kindness, but..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry, Orochimaru, since I dare to come to you, I naturally have some confidence."

Bei Liuhu interrupted him, "Is it possible that with your vision, you can't escape from the cage of a mere ninja? Don't bring ANBU, come with me."

After Bairuhu finished speaking, he walked out of the Hokage's office.

Orochimaru looked at his back, lost in thought.

If it were before, he would definitely not pay attention to this kind of Riddler. As Hokage, he is busy with everything, so how can he have the time to guess?

But recently, perhaps due to the influence of the news of Jiraiya's death, the weight of friendship has become heavier in Orochimaru's heart.

Of course, Beiruhu couldn't be compared to Jiraiya, but after all, he was one of his few friends.

Now that he has good intentions to help him, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give him a little more patience.

So after Orochimaru left a shadow clone, the main body followed Beruhu out of the Hokage Building.

After a journey of twists and turns, the two walked into a gloomy and secret cave.

"Welcome to my lab!"

Bi Liuhu opened his arms and sounded excited.

Orochimaru's eyes followed the other party's guidance and looked at the biological tissues soaked in giant tubular glass containers.

I found cats, bears, fish, birds, snakes and so on.

This made him feel strangely familiar.

Isn't this situation similar to the experiment he once conducted in the Kingdom of the Sea?

"You are..."

Orochimaru asked tentatively.

"My ninja qualifications are not as good as the three of you, but I don't want to be completely abandoned by you, so I want to combine the advantages of these creatures to make up for my shortcomings."

Biluhu walked to the tubes and introduced them one by one: "The cat's elegance and sensitivity, the bear's strength and physique, the fish's underwater breathing, the eagle's flight and vision..."

"but!"

He suddenly enlarged his voice and shouted fervently, "Now I have found a better way! Since Hatake Kakashi, who is not from the Uchiha clan, can fuse the Sharingan, although it was later deducted, Then why can't I integrate other blood inheritance boundaries?

"Orochimaru, I know Konoha's current predicament. After Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato disappeared, we lacked strong enough people to take charge of their own affairs. This led to even Amegakure daring to jump out and take advantage of the situation. As long as my experiment can succeed, the fusion I have many kinds of blood in my body, and I am enough to help you and help Konoha break out of this predicament!"

Looking at Beiruhu and the experimental materials next to him, Orochimaru was silent for a long time.

"This doesn't seem to be something that can be successful in a short period of time. First tell me about the progress of your previous experiments."

He is not very optimistic about Bei Liuhu's idea of ​​merging multiple blood inheritance boundaries into one body. Not to mention the effect, this sounds like it is not something that can be seen in a short time.

On the contrary, if Bei Liuhu's hands-on experimental ability is really not bad, then he may be able to involve the other party in the several forbidden arts experiments he has on hand to help speed up the progress.

After all, it was too difficult to find someone in Konoha Village who could cooperate with him in his experiments.
