Chat group from Naruto

The clone was accompanying several disciples in Konoha.

Fang Zhou's body quietly left the frontline camp and met Orochimaru who had just arrived in the Kingdom of Waves.

After not seeing him for a while, Orochimaru still looked cold, like a cold poisonous snake.

At this time, after Fangzhou's strength had been improved, he could see the true appearance of Orochimaru through the superficial disguise.

The pretense of eliminating facial expressions has no effect in the face of Fang Zhou's soul power.

"Huh? This 'container' seems to have been seen in the plot of "The Lost Tower"?"

Fang Zhou thought about it for a while, but he didn't recall much information. He thought it was probably an insignificant sidekick, so he didn't pay attention to it.

During Orochimaru's immortal reincarnation, the "container" had to be replaced every once in a while, but he never really got a container that was powerful enough to fundamentally change Orochimaru's combat power.

The most outstanding one, Sasuke, almost killed Orochimaru, and with the help of Itachi, Orochimaru died more completely.

No matter which "container" Orochimaru is using now, it makes no difference to Fangzhou.

People in the ninja world would do anything for a powerful blood successor, but Fang Zhou didn't care much about this.

At this stage, no matter how powerful the blood inheritance limit is, can it be stronger than my own eternal kaleidoscope?

After giving a slight nod to Orochimaru, Fang Zhou was the first to speak: "Didn't you say it would take a month before? This doesn't seem to be even a week, right?"

The time agreed between Fangzhou and Orochimaru was one month.

But now, only five days later, Orochimaru sent a signal to Fangzhou to meet.

"I was lucky. I robbed a caravan and gathered most of the things I needed."

Orochimaru did not shy away from his "evil deeds". Fangzhou smiled and said: "Now that I have gathered what you need, it is naturally better to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I don't like to owe others favors, especially your kind." Once you owe a favor to a strong person, it will be very troublesome!"

Orochimaru himself has such a temperament.

To put it nicely, it’s called “knowing current affairs.”

To put it harshly, it means "bullying the weak and fearing the strong".

Moreover, sometimes, Orochimaru is able to let go of the so-called "dignity of the strong" and do things that seem to be of low status.

Such as plundering merchants and nobles.

This is something that many ninjas, even wanted traitor ninjas, would disdain to do, but Orochimaru does it without any psychological burden.

It is precisely because of this character that Orochimaru did not spend much time establishing a large number of secret bases throughout the ninja world after defecting to Konoha.

The wealth required is not a small amount.

It is no exaggeration to say that the people in power in some small countries in the ninja world may not be as rich as Orochimaru.

Fang Zhou naturally didn't like people like Orochimaru.

Bullying the weak is not what the strong should do.

However, if personal preferences are put aside, Orochimaru is indeed a good partner.

Sensible, discerning, knowledgeable, and aware of advancement and retreat.

The premise is that you must have the strength to completely suppress Orochimaru.

After taking the seal scroll from Orochimaru, he counted it and confirmed that the types and quantities of the supplies were correct. Fangzhou nodded slightly: "I am very satisfied with these things."

"As long as you are satisfied."

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly: "So, the time to go to the ruins of the ancient Loulan country is as promised in the middle of next month, or should we leave as soon as possible?"

After a pause, Orochimaru continued: "From my personal point of view, I hope to complete this matter as soon as possible. In my laboratory, there are still many important experiments that have not been carried out."

Orochimaru is a research geek, and any Naruto reader who knows a little bit about this is well aware of this.

Fang Zhou knew even more clearly that when he handed over the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki to Orochimaru, the other party was able to put down his research and come to fulfill the agreement with him, not because Orochimaru was a man of his word, but because of his strength.

After thinking about it, he realized that the attack from Kirigakure Village had just been repelled by him.

The Ghost Lantern clan will no longer appear on the battlefield, and the Hidden Mist Village must have a new leader leading the troops.

This high-level candidate alone is enough to keep Kirigakure Village busy for a long time.

In the short term, it is unlikely that we will need to take action on the front line.

If you go back quickly, settle the dragon vein matter as soon as possible and then rush back, there shouldn't be any trouble.

Even if an unexpected situation does occur, as long as you prepare in advance, you can avoid any accidents.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Zhou did not make a decision immediately, but asked: "How long will it take you to unlock the seal of the dragon vein?"

"That's the seal left by the Fourth Generation."

Orochimaru still had that signature cold smile on his face: "With my level of sealing skills, even if I get the relevant information in advance, it will take at least three days to break the seal."

"Then including traveling back and forth, even if you don't consider the time to collect the dragon's veins, it will take at least five days."

Fang Zhou pondered for a moment and nodded: "I need to deal with some things here. We will set off again in two days. Is there any problem with you?"

"No problem." Orochimaru agreed directly without any objection: "Then, I will wait here for your letter."

"Then it's settled, see you in two days."

Fang Zhou nodded slightly, left a few words, and then used the teleportation technique to disappear from the spot.

Back at the camp, Fangzhou first called Hinata Hizashi.

Although, according to Fang Zhou's judgment, the possibility of a large-scale attack on Kirigakure Village in the next few days is very low, but since we have accepted Konoha's commission, even if the probability of "overturning" is low, we must try our best to to avoid.

The most basic professional ethics of doing things for money is a universal rule no matter where you are.

"Hizashi, I have to leave for a while."

Fang Zhou had no intention of explaining, and directly took out a special kunai and handed it to Hinata Hizashi, and said: "If there is an emergency, input your chakra into the kunai, and I will rush back immediately."

After a pause, Fang Zhou emphasized: "Remember, you must carry this kunai with you!"

Hinata Hizashi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the familiar sealing technique on the kunai handle: "This... this is Lord Hokage's Flying Thunder God..."

The Flying Thunder God Jutsu is the hallmark of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

Although Namikaze Minato never kept secrets about this secret technique, as long as the "politically qualified" Konoha ninja wanted to learn it, Namikaze Minato would be willing to teach it.

However, the only one who can learn this space-time ninjutsu is Namikaze Minato himself.

Among the others, the most outstanding ones are just three people equal to Bing Zu Lei, who can gather the power of three people to perform the "Flying Thunder God Formation".

But this is ultimately a trick. Split the complex Flying Thunder God technique into three parts, and each person learns one part of it. Even if one person is missing, there is no way to "fly".

At this time, one can imagine the shock in Hinata Hizashi's heart when he saw the second master of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he was not a ninja from Konoha.

"The Flying Thunder God Jutsu is not Namikaze Minato's exclusive secret technique. The person who developed this ninjutsu was not the fourth generation, but the second generation. After so many years, it is not a strange thing for the outside world to spread it. Just like the shadow clone Same."

Fang Zhou randomly made an excuse.

The second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama can be said to be a true "master of ninjutsu development" and has developed countless ninjutsu in his life.

Among them, there are many ninjutsu that have very high actual combat value and practicality. The Flying Thunder God Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique both fall into this category.

The former is a secret technique unique to Konoha.

In the original work, only two people, Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato, mastered it.

To be precise, the latter once again perfected the art of Flying Thunder God on the basis of Senju Tobirama.

In terms of his accomplishments in flying thunder gods, Namikaze Minato is even better than Senju Tobirama.

In addition to the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, there are not a few ninjutsu developed by Senju Tobirama that have been spread due to various reasons.

The art of shadow clone is one of the typical examples.

This ninjutsu is of great significance in terms of actual combat value, especially in reconnaissance and minefield detection. For some ninjas who have abundant energy and chakra, it can also be of great help in assisting their training.

Logically speaking, the shadow clone technique is definitely worthy of being an "S-level" ninjutsu.

Of course, just value.

A secret technique of this level should not be allowed to spread in Konoha under any circumstances.

But actually?

In today's ninja world, there are almost no slightly stronger ninjas who can't shadow clones.

It's just that the ninjas in some villages have their own habits, so they rarely use shadow clones.

For example, although the water clone of Kirigakure Village has no auxiliary training function and is inferior to the shadow clone in terms of lightning protection and combat effectiveness, it has the advantage of saving chakra and is even more favored by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.

But, just because you don’t have to, doesn’t mean you won’t.

In the original work, there are also many non-Konoha ninjas who like to fight with shadow clones.

For example, a certain ninja who once threw a shuriken at Senju Hashirama eight hundred miles away...

With the "precedent" of the shadow clone, Fang Zhou's statement easily fooled Hinata Hizashi.

The latter smiled bitterly and said: "But... this is the art of the Flying Thunder God after all!"

Fang Zhou changed the topic and did not answer Hinata Hizashi's words: "Anyway, keep the coordinates of my Flying Thunder God. If anything happens, contact me through it and I will rush back immediately."

The ancient Loulan country where Fangzhou was going to find dragon veins was located in the Kingdom of Wind and not too close to the Kingdom of Waves.

However, as long as the coordinates are left along the way, the "Flying Thunder God Highway" is arranged, and teleported back again and again, it doesn't take much time.

However, this way of traveling places a heavy burden on people. Even Fang Zhou would be exhausted after such a trip.

If there were no special circumstances, Fang Zhou would not be willing to ask for trouble.

Of course, if Kirigakure Village really attacks in a big way during his absence, this will be an important bargaining chip to maintain his "reputation".

"I understand."

Hinata Hizashi did not try to persuade Fang Zhou not to leave, nor did he even ask Fang Zhou what he planned to do.

Given Hinata Hizashi's position in Konoha, he still had some understanding of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, and knew that its range was not too far.

At least, that was the case in the hands of the Fourth Hokage.

Since the other party promised to rush back as soon as possible after receiving the signal, it must be within the effective range of the Flying Thunder God's technique.

At the very least, it won't go too far beyond the effective range.

Within this range, Fangzhou still has absolute autonomy due to his position on the front line.

Hyuga and Hizashi were considered subordinates of each other, both in name and in fact. Naturally, it was impossible to inquire about the whereabouts of their superiors. This was a taboo for ninjas.

Of course, Hinata Hizashi would never have imagined that his thinking was wrong from the beginning.

After carefully putting away the Flying Thunder God Kunai, Hyuga Hizashi asked: "Sir, if a small-scale war breaks out during this period..."

"It's fine for you to be in charge."

Fang Zhou waved his hand.

During this period, apart from taking action to capture Ghost Lantern Man Yue, Fang Zhou did not even take part in formulating a strategy to meet the enemy, not to mention taking action, leaving it all to Hinata Hizashi and other Jonin to discuss on their own.

This hands-off shopkeeper can be said to be very comfortable.

After all, Fang Zhou, the commander-in-chief, was only in name only.

Even if Fang Zhou really wanted to take charge of the front line, I am afraid that no one would support Fang Zhou except Hyuga Hizashi and a group of ninjas from the Hyuga family.

The agreement between Fangzhou and Konoha was only to deal with these powerful enemies that the Jonin could not handle.

Rather than actually doing command and strategy work.

Fangzhou himself didn't care about these things, and during the time he was leaving, he wouldn't leave any "good tips" or anything like that, leaving it to Hinata and Hizashi to take care of it.

Anyway, judging from his performance in the past period, Hinata Hizashi has done quite well.

Not to mention how superb he was in using troops, at least he never made any obvious mistakes.

For Konoha's troops on the front line of Wave Country, as long as the commander makes no mistakes and Fangzhou can make the opponent's strong men unable to play their role, they are considered invincible.

There is no need for aggressive generals here, only commanders who can stabilize the position.

Hyuga Hizashi was very grateful for Fang Zhou's trust, and quickly promised: "Lord Otsutsuki, please rest assured, I will do my best to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

"I will leave early the day after tomorrow. It will take about five or six days to come back. During this time, you will have to work hard."

Fang Zhou encouraged Hinata with a few words and sent him away.

After Hinata Hizashi left, Fangzhou took out the supplies Orochimaru brought, took them out one by one, and began to build a "container" containing the dragon's veins.

This is not an easy job.

In fact, with Fangzhou's almost zero foundation in "forging" and "mechanism", it was simply impossible to complete this work.

What you really need to rely on is the redemption of points in the chat group.

The only value of the materials Orochimaru brought was just to help Fangzhou save points for exchanging materials.
