Konoha's strongest substitute user

Orochimaru returned to his temporary residence, and Kujo Shizuki was already greeting him at the door.

Ziyue received education from Orochimaru. In addition to improving her strength, it also improved her vision. In the past, Ziyue was just a country girl with nothing but good looks, intelligence, a happy family, and the love of her parents and brothers. Now Ziyue has learned a lot of knowledge that she had no access to before, and she has maximized her intelligence through hard work and diligence.

After broadening her horizons, Ziyue certainly knew how powerful the man she followed was really one of the people standing at the top of the pyramid of the ninja world. In the past, ordinary ninjas were big shots that Ziyue could not mess with. Now Xingyue A ninja village like Hidden Village can be ignored.

Ziyue took it for granted that Orochimaru had succeeded: "Lord Orochimaru, have you got the star?"

Orochimaru did not nod calmly and take out the star as Ziyue imagined, but showed restrained anger: "No, things have become troublesome."

Is there anyone more powerful than Orochimaru in Hoshigakure Village?

Ziyue thought so at first, but turned around and rejected the idea.

When they came to the Bear Country, they had already begun to investigate the information of Xingyin Village: how many ninjas there were, how they were distributed, how strong the leader was, and what secret techniques he knew. They even deliberately found the weakness of the Peacock Magic after capturing the ninjas of Xingyin Village. , Orochimaru personally thought up a set of tactics to deal with this move, and has already taught it to the subordinates he brought here this time.

With such complete preparations, it is impossible for anyone to cause trouble to Orochimaru in Hoshigakure Village, unless there are people from other forces in Hoshigakure Village.

Ziyue's mind turned around a little and she roughly guessed the situation. Since Orochimaru returned empty-handed, he must have been stopped by other strong men: "What happened, Orochimaru-sama was not injured?"

Orochimaru knows that Ziyue's concern is not even hypocritical. Words such as "Orochimaru, please take care of yourself when he hits someone" and "Orochimaru-sama, are you okay?" are no different from modal particles in Ziyue's mouth. But this does not affect my mood a little bit better after hearing such words, although it is just a little bit worse than even a mosquito leg.

"The Hoshigakure Village has asked Konoha for help. Now the biggest resistance is no longer the ninjas of the Hoshigakure Village." Orochimaru did not directly tell the story of meeting Kujo Tosei, but took a roundabout way and believed that with Zi Yue's The smart ones will surely think of it right away.

Orochimaru is afraid that Ziyue will lose her mind after hearing that Kujo Tosei is in Hoshigakure Village. With her current level, she will definitely not be able to defeat Kujo Tosei. If she is caught, she will have to save people by herself.

It's not easy to find such a person with excellent IQ, ability, and perseverance. And it's not like those silly children who accept their own will a little and turn into obedient machines.

Ziyue was stunned for a moment, showing a thoughtful look, and then asked: "Can Lord Orochimaru defeat him?"

Orochimaru thought Ziyue wanted to get revenge through his help, and was a little disappointed: "No, I can't do anything to him, and he can't defeat me."

"That's it..." Ziyue crossed her arms and raised her hand to gently pinch her chin: "Konoha always goes on missions in the form of a small team. Although there are times when a single powerful ninja completes a mission alone, but that After all, they are a minority.”

Oh, doesn’t seem to be in a hurry for revenge

Orochimaru was curious about what Ziyue wanted to do, and took the initiative to cooperate with Ziyue: "Yes, Konoha has always been like this, and most ninja villages are like this."

"That is to say, we have to consider facing three or more Konoha ninjas, one of whom is enough to rival Orochimaru-sama." Ziyue took a step forward and analyzed while pacing: "The people we brought here are very good. Strong, as well as the secret medicine given by Lord Orochimaru, coupled with the tactics developed by Lord Orochimaru, it does not take much time to defeat the ninjas of Hoshigakure Village. In other words, we only need to focus on dealing with the Konoha ninjas. With Orochimaru-sama on his body, we only need to snatch the star from other Konoha ninjas."

This is the normal state of battles between ninja groups. Both parties will give priority to getting rid of enemies who have lost orders. When both sides know that the other party exists and do not give them a chance to capture orders, the strongest people on both sides will not let their opponents easily eliminate themselves. people, so it will basically be two ninjas of similar strength fighting against each other, unless there is pre-preparation for combined ninjutsu.

Ziyue saw that Orochimaru acquiesced to this idea, so he went on to tell the plan: "Master Orochimaru said before that although I am not good at practicing ninjutsu, but with the help of the substitute, my strength is close to that of a jounin, right? So as long as Master Orochimaru, Fight him, and then let your men break into Hoshigakure Village. The ninjas in Hoshigakure Village can't win, so they can naturally force out other Konoha people. With my ability, I can easily sneak into Hoshigakure Village, take away Hoshi, and then cover it up. Others retreat.”

Orochimaru believes that Ziyue's plan is feasible. Ziyue's stand-in is the strongest when facing a large number of enemies but insufficient strength.

First of all, Ziyue can hide in the ground and approach the enemy to launch a sneak attack. Once the enemy bleeds, no matter how small the wound is, it may become fatal at any time. Moreover, Ziyue can shape the controlled soil into any shape and even make sounds. For enemies with weak perception, this is as unpredictable as a nightmare. As long as one person dies in the humus layer, Ziyue will have a source of power. Constant physical strength, even getting stronger and stronger.

However, Orochimaru is more interested in something now: "Don't you want to try fighting Kujo Tosei? With my help, maybe you can defeat him."

"What's the point?" Ziyue looked relaxed and answered in a matter-of-fact tone: "Moreover, the star is more important now. Only by getting the star can I advance Master Orochimaru's research further, can I catch up with him and surpass him. Then defeat him with your own hands.”

"Very good" Orochimaru was very satisfied with Ziyue's attitude. This is what he wanted to see. Relying on him instead of relying on him, having the determination to become stronger, and not being blinded by personal feelings and losing your reason. These are the qualities needed to pursue the truth. Kujo Ziyue is indeed the person qualified to be his real assistant.

"Be prepared, first find out who is coming to Konoha, and take action when they relax their vigilance." Orochimaru decided to follow Ziyue's plan: "Don't let me down."

Ziyue: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

After Orochimaru entered the makeshift hut, Ziyue also returned to her own house to rest.

Even so, Ziyue did not let down her guard and was used to wearing a mask.

Although I really want to see my brother, now is not the time.

If he meets his brother now, according to Orochimaru, his brother is already very strong, and together with the other ninjas in Konoha Village, he will definitely be taken back to Konoha Village. Moreover, the lies he made up had no chance of colluding with his brother's confession. With Orochimaru's shrewdness and ability, he had to carefully look for opportunities even if he secretly conveyed information. Everything would be exposed immediately when they met.

Orochimaru is not only his brother's enemy, but also a very good teacher.

Following Orochimaru can help your brother and give you stronger abilities, why not?

In this world, you can't do anything without strength. Wasn't it because you and your brother were weak that you could only watch everything happen and run for your life?

Now my brother is strong enough. If I don't let myself become stronger, I will still become a drag on my brother, just like before.

There is nothing wrong with Orochimaru, and there is nothing wrong with killing...

Yes, nothing bad.
