Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

As the last rays of sunset gradually sank into the horizon, the Konoha support force finally arrived at the temporary camp of the front-line troops after traveling through the dense forest for a while.

"stop!"

The Konoha Jonin at the front of the team signaled the team to stop, and the entire team instantly became quiet. Those experienced ninjas consciously took a vigilant and defensive posture.

"Whoosh-"

Several figures jumped out of the dense forest. The middle-aged man in the lead looked carefully at the team for a moment, then nodded to the people behind him.

"boom--"

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the ground, and a staircase leading underground appeared in front of everyone.

After walking down the stairs, I saw a huge camp built deep underground, with temporary dwellings made of branches and canvas scattered around.

Although these makeshift huts are very simple, one cannot expect too much in wartime.

The three members of Uchiha Yi's team were assigned to one of the rooms. There were two rooms in this cabin. Uchiha Yi and Inuzuka Gawa shared one, while Hinata Shiori had a separate room.

Just as Uchiha Yi had put down his bag and was about to pack up and rest, a serious-looking Chunin suddenly knocked on the door and delivered an urgent summons.

"Uchiha Yi, Lord Orochimaru requests to summon you immediately."

"Summoning me? What's the matter?"

"It is said that because you and Kakashi cooperated to kill an Iwagakure jonin, Lord Orochimaru was very curious about it."

"I understand, I'll go there now."

Uchiha Yi followed the ninja, walked through the winding path of the underground camp, and finally stopped in front of a very spacious tent.

Kakashi was standing outside the tent at this moment. When he saw Uchiha Yi, he waved and greeted him.

Then the two of them stepped into the tent together.

Inside the tent, the flickering candlelight illuminated a slightly gloomy face.

A tall and thin figure in a pure white kimono stood up from a chair in the middle of the tent.

The man had long hair draped over his shoulders and his face looked slightly pale, giving people a feeling of exhaustion. There was a coldness on his face, and his eyes, like those of a poisonous snake, exuded undisguised coldness.

Orochimaru!

Uchiha Yi watched Orochimaru walk towards him step by step, and the hairs on his body stood up.

"What an extraordinary child!"

Orochimaru's tone was calm, his eyes were calm, but Uchiha Yi felt a very terrible chill.

"Lord Orochimaru, I am Uchiha Yi."

Uchiha Yiping calmed his slightly panicked mentality and bowed to Orochimaru.

"Uchiha Yi? This is the first time I've heard of this name. With your strength, you shouldn't be so unknown."

Orochimaru stared coldly into Yi's eyes, as if trying to see some panic in Yi's expression.

"You should be a kid who just graduated from the ninja school. You were able to kill a Jonin from Iwagakure. Did you rely on the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, or do you have some secret?"

Orochimaru was not surprised about Kakashi. Kakashi's name had already emerged in the early days of the Third Ninja World War, and his current strength was already close to that of a senior ninja.

But this was the first time Orochimaru heard the name Uchiha Yi.

Uchiha Yi replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "My Sharingan has not awakened. I just have some talent in swordsmanship. My teacher is Hatake Sakumo."

At this moment, Uchiha Yi felt a little scared. It was obvious that Uncle Snake had become interested in him.

This is not a good thing. Everyone knows that Uncle Snake likes to conduct some perverted experiments. If you target him, you're doomed.

Faced with Orochimaru, whose strength had already reached the level of Kage, Uchiha Yi was unable to resist at all and could only allow himself to be slaughtered.

As long as Orochimaru wanted, he could have killed him quietly, and then made up a reason and he would have become a hero who died gloriously.

Uchiha Yi's last sentence was also to remind Orochimaru that his teacher was Hatake Sakumo, so that he would not dare to act rashly.

"So you are Sakumo-senpai's disciple. The Uchiha clan is good at swordsmanship? How interesting! I am becoming more and more curious about you."

Orochimaru stared at Uchiha Yi, his eyes slightly narrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a moment, Orochimaru finally retracted his sharp gaze. He slowly walked back to the long table in the middle and sat on the chair.

Orochimaru's eyes scanned Yi and Kakashi's faces one by one, as if he was evaluating something.

"It is rare for someone of this age to have such outstanding strength. Next, the Konoha combat force will launch a surprise attack plan. You two should join in."

"Raid plan? Lord Orochimaru, could you give more details? Ah, no, I am talking too much."

As soon as he said this, Uchiha Yi immediately realized that something was wrong. With his identity and status, he was not qualified to know the battle plan in advance.

During war, important intelligence such as combat plans must be kept as top-level confidentiality items.

"No, it's okay."

Orochimaru said lightly, with no expression on his face. He seemed unusually calm, as if he didn't care at all about Uchiha Yi's request.

"vomit!"

Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a scroll stained with mucus. He reached out to take it, unsealed it, and threw it to Uchiha Yi.

"Ah, this..."

Uchiha Yi's face changed slightly, then he suppressed his nausea and reached out to take the scroll.

A good scroll, now covered with mucus and saliva.

By the way, can't you just explain it orally? This scroll is too disgusting.

Although he kept complaining in his heart, on the surface Uchiha Yi still obediently opened the scroll.

After taking a quick glance at it, Uchiha Yi immediately threw the scroll back to Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, I already understand the battle plan!"

Orochimaru rolled his tongue and swallowed the scroll again.

Seeing this perverted scene again, Uchiha Yi's facial muscles twitched.

Can we please not do this?

It's really disgusting!

"Yi, how about it, what do you think of this battle plan?"

Orochimaru looked into the depths of Yi's eyes with interest, waiting for his next answer.

opinion?

Any other insights?

Uchiha Yi didn't look at the battle plan in detail at all, he just glanced at the battle content.

Simply put, this was a sneak attack on the capital of the Earth Kingdom in order to relieve the pressure faced by the Fire Kingdom's frontline troops.

By forcing the Rock Ninja to retreat to their homeland for defense, the joint attack of the Rock Ninja and the Sand Ninja can be alleviated.

"Lord Orochimaru, I am not good at combat deployment and strategies, and I don't have any insights." Uchiha Yi replied with his head down.

"Oh!"

Orochimaru responded calmly, seeming a little disappointed.

After a moment's silence, he suddenly laughed in a very strange and hoarse manner, looking particularly gloomy.

What the hell is going on?

Uchiha Yi's expression changed slightly and he looked at Kakashi who had been silent beside him.

Kakashi seemed to be accustomed to Orochimaru's strange behavior, and there was no abnormality on his face. He shook his head slightly at Yi, signaling him not to speak.

After sneering for a while, Orochimaru suddenly lowered his voice and muttered to himself, "Many people will die in this war. Why are humans so fragile? Tell me, what is the meaning of war?"

Seeing that Orochimaru was becoming more and more abnormal, Kakashi winked at Yi.

"Lord Orochimaru, we will take our leave now!"

The two men bowed to Orochimaru and left the tent.
