[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

Gaining Orochimaru's trust is easy to say. Just seeing how he allows so many followers who are not completely loyal to do things shows that Orochimaru doesn't actually care about the loyalty of these people.

As long as Orochimaru believes that Sasuke can "kill Itachi" in order to gain power without any scruples, Sasuke can gain greater autonomy.

What's more, Orochimaru's method of subtly changing people's hearts is really effective. If Sasuke hadn't carried Naruto's necklace with him and returned to his clan in the Warring States Period every month, the dark and depressing environment of the Snake Cave would have really been hard for him to stay except for revenge. Emotions.

Naruto is the eternal fire in this dead land, and the experience of the Sengoku clan is the breeze flowing in this rotten air.

No matter how good Orochimaru was in planning, he could not have imagined that Sasuke, who lay quietly on the stone bed every day, would go back along the river of time one night and stand beside Madara and Izuna, who were decisive and determined in killing.

Madara has now fully secured his position as the leader of the Uchiha clan. After leading his clan to win several battles, his prestige in the clan has grown even more.

Uchiha is a ninja who loves strength, and Madara's strength after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan far exceeds all previous legends.The clansmen firmly believe that he can lead the Uchiha clan onto a path of unprecedented glory.

But Madara himself is not as optimistic as his tribe members.

The dominance of the Uchiha family will only make the nobles more fearful, which will undoubtedly increase the resistance to their secret actions.

What's more, in the previous battle, Senju Buddhama saw that he and his eldest son, Senju Hashirama, were still unable to contain Madara's offensive. They had sealed off the clan and refused to fight in order to gain time for Senju Hashirama to learn senjutsu.

According to legend, the Thousand Hands clan has a deep connection with the Supreme Immortal. Since this unprecedented magical technique can be used as a trump card by Thousand Hands in such a desperate manner, its power cannot be underestimated.When Senju Hashirama returns from his studies, there will be a fierce battle between the two clans.

"Hmph, if learning senjutsu can give you the power to compete with your brother, then why didn't Senju learn it before?" Senna put down the information handed over by the secret line and scoffed, "There must be many difficulties in this process. It's called Senju Hashirama." It would be better to just die there!"

"Izuna." Madara blocked Izuna's meaningless curse, "Hashirama will not die. We must first think of countermeasures and take the initiative."

How can Quan Nai not know these truths?

In Sasuke's prophecy, Madara and Hashirama will become the strongest in the ninja world, so naturally they will not leave early here.

"That's right." Speaking of prophecies, since there are such ready resources, why not use them?Izuna called Sasuke, who was busy writing in the side room to compile information, and asked directly: "Do you know what abilities Senju Hashirama has? Is there any way to restrain him?"

Although history will change, if nothing unexpected happens, personal abilities and attributes will not change.If we had known the abilities of Senju Hashirama, and then deduced the battlefield configuration that Senju would make based on it, why worry about not being able to seize the battlefield advantage?

Intelligence warfare is all about time differences.

"The main thing is Wood Release." Sasuke recalled the introduction of Senju Hashirama's biography and said thoughtfully, "Sage mode can further enhance his offensive and defensive capabilities, allowing him to recover quickly after being injured. The combined skills that incorporate immortal magic are... …The sealing technique Mingshenmen, Wooden Release Thousands of Hands, and the Buddha Transformation on top. However, these skills are all at their peak, and he should not be able to do it now."

"There is also a more troublesome wood release ninjutsu: the flower tree world is born, which can control trees to rise from the ground in a certain area and instantly grow into a forest. During the growth process, the trees can be controlled by him to adjust the direction at will, and start The flowers that come out are also poisonous; the Wood Dragon Technique, the tree is coiled into a wooden dragon like a vine, and the Wood Dragon can be manipulated; the Wooden Man, a large wooden man that can be manipulated; the Ranking Technique, a defensive shield; the All Bag Technique , many wooden hands stretched out from the ground, more flexible than the tree world..." Sasuke listed the techniques he could remember, and suddenly recalled that the undead summoned by Orochimaru had used a technique that had never been mentioned in the biography. The mentioned ninjutsu, "There is also the Dark Walk Jutsu, which is specially used to restrain the Sharingan, and can make objects completely invisible within a certain range."

"Invisible objects?" Quan Na frowned, "This is a ninjutsu that restrains the observation eye and prevents the use of illusions. It seems to be specifically targeted at me."

Izuna seemed to have thought of something and snorted coldly: "But my brother's Susanoo is a physical attack. This ninjutsu is not a help to the Senju Hashirama. Do other Senju know it?"

"I don't know."

"It's also a warning." Spotted Head said, "Uchiha are good at vision, and they value vision more than ordinary ninjas. If their vision is suddenly deprived, their strength will be greatly reduced."

"Then we need to increase the practice of blind-sight battle among the tribesmen?" Quan Nai asked.

"feasible."

Madara and Izuna then dissected and analyzed the ninjutsu that Sasuke mentioned earlier one by one. Just like someone was drawing the key points in an exam, they quickly figured out how to fight Senju Hashirama.

They need to maintain a check and balance situation with the Thousand Hands. Behind the checks and balances, it is best to spend less manpower to deal with the Thousand Hands and let the remaining people continue to advance the confrontation with the nobles.

As for alliance, the death of Uchiha Tajima shows that their actions have attracted the attention of interested people, and the idea of ​​alliance is bound to slow down.In addition, without revealing his identity, the current situation can be revealed in front of the leader of the great ninja clan who can be trusted not to inform the nobles.

As long as they eliminate the idiots who don't have a castle to avoid leaking secrets, no matter what strategy the other ninja clan adopts, as long as it can cause trouble to the nobles, it will be beneficial to them.

This change is naturally recessive, and no results can be seen in the short term.

And a hundred days later, when Sasuke came to the Warring States Period again, he heard other news - the leader of the Senju clan, Senju Buddhama, had died.

The Senju clan had previously chosen to avoid Uchiha's strong attack and retreat to defend, which indeed bought Senju Hashirama enough time to practice senjutsu.

Senju Hashirama, who gained new abilities, shone brightly in the subsequent battlefields. With the blessing of senjutsu, the already powerful wood escape ninjutsu even had an incredible growth rate that could rise with the wind and grow into a forest in a blink of an eye.

With him resisting Uchiha Madara's attack, Senju quickly reversed the situation and regained control of the forest that had been previously seized by Uchiha.

However, in such a good situation, Thousand-Armed Buddha died.

Like Uchiha Tajima, he died in battle.

The Hagoromo Clan and the Senju Clan are also enemies, and death at their hands seems to be no problem.But it happened that his death occurred in only one small battle after Uchiha deliberately lost two wars.

Although Hagoromo's name is only under the second clan, but now that the two killing gods, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, appear, he will not take the initiative to offend either of them.It is their usual thinking to let the Uchiha and Senju clans fight each other and wait for opportunities to profit from it.

Even if they were afraid that the Senju family would be disadvantageous to them if they became dominant, waiting until Uchiha was weakened would be a more appropriate time to take action.

The current situation is like someone trying to maintain the balance between Uchiha and Senju. After Uchiha Madara "lost" to the joint attack of Senju Buddhama and Senju Hashirama, he designed to kill Senju Buddhama.

Madara and the others might not be aware of this until they notice the nobles' secret actions.But no matter how they look at it now, they can't believe that this is just an accident and coincidence.

First deal with Uchiha Tajima who has made some changes, and then remove the corresponding Senjubutama after Uchiha is at a disadvantage.If Madara had not awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Senju Buddha would have died earlier.

The balance between the two clans that have been in conflict for many years has been secretly planned by someone. This speculation made Quan Na shudder.

"How is it possible..." Sasuke retorted subconsciously, such a conjecture was really unbelievable.Who can have such energy to master the strength of Uchiha and Senju clan and control them on the same level?

If the aristocratic forces really have agents within the two clans capable of spreading such intelligence, and can adjust their strategies at any time based on this intelligence, it would not be difficult to subvert their rule.Why go to all the trouble to do this?

Madara and Izuna couldn't figure out the other's purpose for doing such a thing.

For the current plan, we can only sort out and examine the development of affairs in the clan more carefully and look for clues.In order to quickly identify the person who leaked the information, he even revealed half-truths and half-false information about Sasuke in a targeted manner.

However, the other party was far more cautious than they expected, and no suspicious objects were found after repeated attempts.Sasuke came and went several times and found nothing unusual.

Or maybe they really thought wrong and everything was just a coincidence.

Madara and Izuna didn't dare to make a conclusion, so they could only suppress the matter and just be vigilant in secret.

On the other side, Sasuke, who had always only practiced and cooperated with blood collection, finally began to be relaxed by Orochimaru, who tried to let him go out to perform tasks.

Sasuke frowned slightly and looked away coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied with Orochimaru's arrangement.

This reaction indeed made Orochimaru more satisfied. He didn't even mind Sasuke's rebellious attitude as a "subordinate". Instead, he comforted him: "The mission situation is complicated, and it is also a test of your own strength. It can also be regarded as yours." Supplementary items for practice.”

Sasuke then "reluctantly" agreed to Orochimaru.

But this was the first time Sasuke performed a mission under Orochimaru, and he was not sure whether the other party really relaxed his vigilance. Sasuke did not take any action during the mission.

He just completed the tasks entrusted to him to a very high level and at the same time, showed the arrogance and impatience he wanted Orochimaru to see within the limits of what he thought Orochimaru could tolerate.

Completely obeying Orochimaru's orders will only make him a tool of the other party.Only by testing the other party's bottom line step by step in this way can it facilitate his future actions.

Such caution in words and deeds finally made Orochimaru completely let down his guard and no longer secretly set limits on Sasuke's actions.Sasuke truly gained the right to "move freely".
