Konoha Sheriff

"Beichen, Orochimaru..."

Among the ruins on Yuzuki Mountain, Shisui coughed violently while curiously looking at the weird white phosphorus snake tail on the ground.

"Let him escape anyway."

Beichen, who had disbanded the fourth stage of Susanoo, said this with a look of dismay on his face.

He also knew that in terms of the ability to escape and report his fate, if Orochimaru was second, basically no one could be first.

But he had put in so much effort to keep Orochimaru here, but in the end he still let Orochimaru run away, which still made him feel very unhappy.

While Beichen and Shisui were talking, the Yuzuki man walked over from a distance, supporting the Fourth Raikage.

Seeing that the Fourth Raikage dared to come over, Tsunade and Jiraiya unconsciously took a step forward. Tsunade snorted coldly and said with disdain:

"What? With your current state, do you still want to continue the war with our Konoha?"

"You..." The Yuzuki man also had a proud temper. Hearing Tsunade's provocative words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"That's enough, Yuzuki." Before Yuzuki could continue to speak, the Fourth Raikage coughed and stopped her:

"We Yunyin lost this battle. If we lose, we lose. We Yunyin will not deny this."

Tsunade wanted to retort and say, "You were not like this during the Third Ninja War," but Jiraiya no longer wanted the situation to escalate, so he gently pulled Tsunade's sleeve from the side.

Noticing Jiraiya's little movements, Tsunade snorted and finally swallowed the words on her lips, and then said coldly:

"Since you admit that you have lost, let's talk about the compensation you should pay as the defeated party."

"This……"

The Fourth Raikage and Yuzuki looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't expect Tsunade to be so direct and unwilling to say anything polite.

Although he felt unhappy, but thinking that everything was due to his own ambition, the Fourth Raikage finally gritted his teeth and said directly:

"Since you all said so, just put forward any conditions you have. As long as it is within the acceptable range of our Yunyuo, I will never even blink an eyebrow."

Tsunade didn't expect that the Fourth Raikage would be so straightforward. She actually just wanted to provoke the other party and had no real intention to gain any benefits from Kumogakure.

Just when Tsunade was hesitant about what conditions she should put forward, Beichen, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke:

"Seeing that your fourth generation Raikage is quite upright, we in Konoha will not ask for any substantial rewards from you this time. How about just a promise from you?"

"Promise?" The Fourth Raikage frowned and asked cautiously: "What promise do you want?"

Although he acts recklessly, he is not a fool, and he also knows that the most difficult thing in the world to repay is the so-called debt of favor.

"The promise I want is that if we in Konoha need your help for anything in the future, you Kumogakure will not be allowed to refuse. What do you think?"

Beichen was obviously planning for the next four battles or an attack against the Akatsuki organization.

In terms of resources and wealth, Konoha currently lacks nothing, so what he really wants is a promise like this.

With this debt of gratitude, they can be more calm in the future when they want to unite the four major ninja villages to launch an attack on the Akatsuki organization or Uchiha Madara.

Of course, whether such a debt of gratitude can be effective in the future depends on the target.

If it is against a cunning old man like Ohnoki, then this method will obviously not work. However, the Fourth Raikage's behavior is quite aboveboard, and there should be no such thing as going back on one's word.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Fourth Raikage hesitated and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he nodded with some difficulty:

"I can agree to your request, but before I say it ugly, what Konoha wants us to help must be reasonable. If it is an excessive request, don't blame us for not being willing to comply."

"Okay, then this negotiation is over, and we won't send you two away."

Beichen watched with a smile as the teak man helped the Fourth Raikage leave. It wasn't until the two of them walked away that he completely relaxed.

As soon as he relaxed, he immediately felt that his body was shaky. If Tsunade hadn't quickly supported him with quick eyesight and hands, he would have fallen to the ground at this time.

Beichen's condition at this time can be said to be very bad. He could be considered to have tried his best in the previous battle. Now he can't help but his eyes are so sore, and his body is also injured due to the wound on his shoulder blade and the bottoming out of chakra. Waves of dizziness emerged.

"Don't worry, it won't be a problem. Compared with Orochimaru's loss, my overdrawn eye power and chakra are just a drop in the bucket."

After speaking softly to comfort Tsunade, Beichen quickly adjusted his mentality.

The fact is as he said, although he failed to kill Orochimaru in one fell swoop, Orochimaru's losses were definitely huge.

If Beichen remembers correctly, Orochimaru in the original work has been using the body of the round-faced woman since his hand was cut off by Itachi, and he continued to use it until Konoha collapsed the plan before choosing to abandon it.

Now that this body has been destroyed by himself, according to time calculation, the three-year cooling time for reincarnation has not yet expired.

In other words, for a long time to come, Orochimaru was destined to have to choose between using half of his body as a human-headed monster snake or forcibly reincarnating into an immortal body while enduring the powerful side effects.

In this situation, there is definitely nothing he can do to cause trouble, and this will also be an opportunity for Beichen and Zhishui.

If we can seize this time to launch an assault on Orochimaru Otogakure, and successfully search for Hashirama cells from Orochimaru's experimental base, then Shisui's Susanoo can be put on the agenda!

Thinking of this, Beichen immediately became energetic and turned to Tsunade, who was still supporting him to rush towards Konoha:

"After my chakra consumption is fully restored in two days, I want to launch a revenge operation against Orochimaru's Otogakure Village. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Tsunade frowned slightly. After all, Orochimaru was her former companion who grew up with her. She was actually a little resistant to making her make such a decision.

But thinking about Beichen almost dying in the hands of Orochimaru today, and Orochimaru channeling his second grandfather's body and desecrating it wantonly, Tsunade couldn't help but feel angry again.

After struggling for a long time, Tsunade sighed and nodded:

"Some things really need to be settled."
