I haven't seen fireworks.

With the arrival of summer, the temperature gradually rises, and the weather begins to become unfavorable for fog.

And because of the war during this period, the Kirigakure ninjas had plundered enough gold and silver property in the surrounding cities and villages, and they were all eager to send the things back for their families to enjoy, so their desire to attack was not strong.

Therefore, Kirigakure's offensive gradually began to slow down.

Uchiha Fugaku finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

While restoring contact with the various teams, he counted the gains and losses since the start of the war.

If you don’t count, you don’t know. Once you count, you will be shocked.

It has only been half a month since he led 1500 ninjas to the Kirigakure battlefield, but nearly one-third of these people have been lost!

Now the total number of people gathered together is actually only 996 people left!

Among them, the genin group suffered the greatest losses. According to the reported casualty statistics, 92% of the deaths were from genin.

The remaining 996 people are not all head and tail, almost everyone is injured, some people are on the verge of extinction, and are in the stage of closing their eyes and waiting to die.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't dare to delay, so he quickly gathered the strength of the medical ninjas in his hands and set up a field hospital, and only then did he control the number of casualties.

After finishing his work, he suddenly found out, where did Hinata go?

Where did the special team led by Hinata Kaze go?

Of course he couldn't find it, because the Hunting Shadow Team had already gone to Sicheng Mountain and was in the stage of retreat. In order to prevent anyone from leaking information, except for Sun Jingyun, no one was allowed to use spiritism.

Sun Jingyun came to steal Minato's limelight, and naturally he would not give the village a chance to interfere with his plan, so he contacted Uncle Snake, Terumi Mei, and Kagura, but never contacted Fugaku.

But soon, Fu Yue got news from other channels.

"What? You said you saw a Kirigakure with a Byakugan?" As soon as he got the news, Fugaku was so shocked that he sprayed a glass of water directly on the ground!

"That's right!" The person who came was an Uchiha, with a mocking smile on his face: "I am very familiar with the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, so even though he covered it with an eye patch, I still recognized it. Unexpectedly, The Hyuga clan actually lost their eyes on the battlefield, let’s see how they can explain it when they go back this time..."

"Oh, you go down first..." Seeing the gloating look of his clan members, Fugaku felt a little tired. They were all dead, so what else could he explain?

If you want to explain, I will explain!

But the most troublesome thing is that in that team, there are not only Hinata Kaze, but also three subordinates of Orochimaru!

He knew that Orochimaru had lost a disciple before, but he had been suffering for a long time.

This time I lost three...

What kind of experience is it to offend the Hyuga clan and Orochimaru at the same time?

Fu Yue only felt that the future of the Uchiha clan was a bit bleak.

"Hyugafaze's Byakugan can see three kilometers away. You can tell if there is an ambush at a glance. You can also tell if the enemy is strong or not. So what happened to him?" Fugaku was puzzled. , after thinking for a long time, I finally gave up.

Forget it, let's think about how to write the report first.

So, half a day later, Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who was sitting in Konoha, got the news first, and soon Orochimaru, who was idle at home, also got the news.

"Is this the opportunity you created for me?" When Uncle Snake saw the battle report, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, but he quickly suppressed it again, and then put on a sad and desperate expression.

He stood up in despair, and opened the door in despair. As expected, he saw the teacher standing at the door with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Teacher..." Orochimaru's eyes were cold: "Obviously he was on a transportation mission to the Kirigakure battlefield, why didn't he return and why was he incorporated into some Hyuga Kaze team? I need Fugaku to give me an explanation!"

"Go in and talk!" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and watched Orochimaru give up his position, and sighed silently in his heart.

He was thinking of saying something along the way, but when he saw his favorite disciple, he couldn't say anything for a moment.

It wasn't until he followed Orochimaru into the room and sat down at the table that he finally spoke.

"Fuyue, as the front-line commander, forced the logistics team to enlist in the army when the troops are in a hurry. This is in line with the rules!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said,

"In other words, my three disciples died in vain, right?" Orochimaru's eyes were cold: "You should know how much I value Mr. Jingyun, and I even entrusted my ideals to him. So I changed my last name specially for him..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, of course he knew.

The only four members of Orochimaru's team who knew that Sun Jingyun was the one who wanted to change their surnames, and Orochimaru was on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, used another reason.

Therefore, in Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, Orochimaru really understood his hint, so he was disheartened and concentrated on teaching his apprentice.

But now, this future, is shattered.

"I know you are sad, Orochimaru, but what I want to tell you is that this is war, not a child's play! Anyone can die in a war, not just your disciples, other people's disciples, teachers, teammates , may die! If everyone is like you, how can our village maintain order?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said decisively.

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire is endless. They sacrificed for the village. They have fulfilled the will of fire. Your disciple will not die in vain. He will be the hero of Konoha. I will make the decision. Let him enter the memorial monument!"

As expected of a teacher, he never gave me a chance to speak!

However, I am no longer the same as before!

"However, the other disciples are led by the teacher, and only I stay in the village!" Orochimaru said coldly: "It's not fair to him, he has no right to choose at all! He has no way to refute, no way He can only accept all decisions against Fuyue!"

“If I had been here, everything would have been different!”

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent, he heard what Orochimaru meant.

"You want to avenge Sun Jingyun?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned: "But he is already dead! Although I know it will be disappointing to say this, but you are still young, you can indeed find another one!"

"There are geniuses in the Ninja School from generation to generation. I make the decision. You can choose any of the chief students to be your disciples. How about it!" Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and felt that the chips were not big enough, so he added: "There is a person in the school. The true genius, named Uchiha Shisui, is only 2 years old this year, but no one in the entire school can match him. I remember Sun Jingyun’s grades in school back then..."

"Teacher!" Orochimaru interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes were empty, he seemed to be looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, but in fact, he seemed to be looking at infinity.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi understood this look, and Tsunade also looked like this when the news of Juan's death came.

People are alive, but their hearts are dead...

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little confused, so does Sun Jingyun really have such a deep meaning to Orochimaru?

Haven't they been together for only a few months?

But thinking about it again, Orochimaru seems to be an emotional child. When Naoki died in the battle, his condition was not much better than it is now.

"You said..." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"If I die in battle one day, will you avenge me?" Orochimaru asked softly.

"This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

What he was thinking about was taking care of the overall situation, but it was impossible to say this to Orochimaru.

This will only make Orochimaru completely disappointed in Konoha.

One Tsunade has already gone, and another Orochimaru can't be gone!

"I will!" After a slight hesitation, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gave the answer: "No matter which village did it, I will definitely make them pay the price!"

"Thank you, teacher!" Orochimaru smiled softly, but his smile was uglier than crying: "Whatever you can do for me, I can do for Sun Jingyun..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he couldn't persuade this disciple anymore.

He also regretted a little, why did he let those three ninjas go to the battlefield, it was unnecessary!

Even if there is a shortage of people on the front line, they don’t have to go!

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen may not have had the idea of ​​letting the battlefield swallow these three genin, thus turning Orochimaru into a spear that only knows revenge...

But it's definitely impossible for him to admit it.

So, do you want to nod?

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned, lost in thought.

"There are still about 3500 Kirigakure troops left, and we only have a thousand men left. Although Orochimaru has a lot of strategy, but one thousand against three thousand, Kirigakure has the advantage. Even if he is Orochimaru, he cannot win in this situation. He will make a comeback, so he must need the support of the water..."

A senior who needs the support of his juniors, how can he compete with Minato for the position of Hokage?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a long time, and finally nodded heavily: "Uchiha Fugaku's improper command has caused heavy losses to Konoha. Here, I order Orochimaru to quickly go to the Kirigakure battlefield to replace Uchiha Fugaku and become the new general manager of the Kirigakure battlefield." command!"

"Thank you, teacher!" Orochimaru nodded heavily.

"In addition, the Hyuga Sect's eye fell into Kirigakure's hands, so in order to get the eye back, the Hinata Clan will send a few people to go with you, and the documents will be in place tonight. Come to my office tomorrow morning, sign the warrant, and then go! "

"Yes!"
