Konoha's current military strength is very small. There are more than 500 people sent to fight against the mist ninja, which directly takes away one-third of Konoha's ninjas.
But with the addition of some hired ninjas, Konoha's military strength is generally pretty good.
But after Minato led the troops to leave the village, Shin found an excuse to let Orochimaru leave Lin in the village. When Orochimaru asked why, Shin only said that Lin had saved his life and did not want to let his own
The benefactor went to the battlefield and took risks.
After Orochimaru learned about it, he teased Shin, saying that a person like you would actually repay a favor.
There was no need for them to come forward for this kind of thing. Orochimaru just said hello to Konoha Hospital, which was also short of manpower, so he used this as an excuse to ask Lin to stay and help.
Lin's teammate Kakashi readily agreed after learning about this. He did not want Lin to go to the battlefield again, and also persuaded his teacher.
Although Lin was reluctant at first, she still agreed after the persuasion of Kakashi and Konoha Hospital. With the help of the hospital, this serious reason did not embarrass Minato.
There were not many troops from Kirigakure crossing the sea, and it could be seen that their desire to fight Konoha was not strong, and the frictions they had with Konoha were only small-scale encounters, which were far less brutal than when they dealt with Iwa Ninja.
In terms of logistical supplies and armaments, there is a steady stream of support from the daimyo, so Konoha doesn't need to worry about it at all.
This battle has a great chance of winning, otherwise Danzo would not want Orochimaru to take the position of commander.
But Orochimaru's behavior made him feel extremely angry. After that meeting, he went to Orochimaru to question him, but the only response he got was a simple sentence from Orochimaru: He has his own plan, please don't worry, Danzo-sama.
Danzo felt that Orochimaru was perfunctory with him, but then he suddenly woke up again.
His former subordinate's mind was far deeper than he thought.
Everyone wants to be Oriole, Danzo now knows that Orochimaru has seen this clearly and has begun to lose control of himself.
He was very angry about this. He felt that he had given Orochimaru all this and that he had pushed Orochimaru to this position.
Before that, what did Orochimaru have?
He only has the title of Sannin. After being abandoned by Sarutobi, he would only do some secret experiments every day.
He found someone to disguise himself as an Iwa-nin and attack the daimyo, create public opinion in the village, and sent someone to pass information privately to the Iwa-nin... Which of these things was not done by him who sent someone to help Orochimaru!
Are you planning to step on yourself now?
If this person is not Orochimaru, Danzo has ten thousand ways to put him to death right now, and can throw all the previous guilt on him and get away with it.
But he is one of the three ninjas who is so powerful that he is very famous in the entire ninja world!
Danzo couldn't kill him, and falling out with him would only involve him, and then we would both be destroyed.
This made Danzo understand that his plan to support a puppet and then control Konoha himself was ruined.
Danzo had watched Orochimaru grow up since he was a child. Danzo thought he could easily control him after seeing through him, but he didn't expect to underestimate him in the end.

Zhen suddenly received an invitation from Hyuga Taikyu, who was summoned by a servant.
When he arrived at Taigui's residence, he found that the old man in front of him was much more haggard than before.
When I saw him in the past, I could still feel the aura of the former leader of the clan from him, but now he stood there with a cane and looked like a dying old man.
"Sir Taigui." Zhen saluted and greeted him.
If you think about his appearance carefully, you can understand that the list of five people at that time was the order given by the old man in front of you.
After such a thing is known to Rizu, there will definitely be a gap between father and son.
"Zhen is here." Taikyu opened his white eyes and looked at Zhen, but his voice was old and tired.
"I told you before that you can come to my place to read, but why haven't you come yet?"
Zhen Zhen couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and immediately said: "Master Taigui, I have been busy practicing these days, so I didn't take time out."
Taikyu nodded, then said "Follow me", turned around tremblingly, and walked towards the study.
There are indeed a lot of books in this study, which are displayed on the bookshelves, and there are a few calligraphy paintings on the table. The father and son seem to have the same hobbies. After taking a closer look, I see that Taigui's calligraphy skills are much better than Rizu's.
few.
Tae Kyu did not sit at the main seat, but sat down on a chair nearby, holding a cane in both hands.
"Can you take a look? Is there a book you want to read?" Taigui said slowly.
"Thank you, Mr. Taigui."
I was really thinking about what the other party's purpose was in calling me here.
He walked to the bookshelf and took down a book, which was about soft boxing.
Putting it back and taking another one out are some of the skills of using the Byakugan.
Zhen glanced at Tae Kyu out of the corner of his eye and found that he was sitting there with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
Zhen Zhen still found some books worth reading among the books in the study, but he couldn't calm down in the current situation.
"That's true." Taikyu suddenly spoke at this time.
"Yes, Lord Taigyu."
"What do you think of your family?" Tae Kyu asked for no reason.
"Family...isn't it my home?" Zhen said blankly.
There is no point in raising this kind of question. It's really just pretending to be stupid.
"What about the village?"
"A village is where everyone's homes come together. It is a home for many people."
Taikyu just sighed and slowly raised his head to look at Zhen: "Did you find the book you wanted to read?"
He probably felt that he shouldn't ask the truth, so he directly exposed it.
"Found it, Lord Taigui!" Zhen gestured to the book in his hand, with a look of joy on his face.
Taigui nodded and said, "You can take it home to read. If you want to find any books in the future, you can come directly to me."
"I know, thank you, Mr. Taigui!"
Tai Kyu suddenly asked again: "Really, your eyes."
Zhen immediately showed a dark look in his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "I know, Mr. Rizu is very busy now, and there are many things to deal with in the clan. There is no need to delay because of my things. I can wait until Mr. Rizu is not busy anymore.
when."
Tae Kyu's eyes moved slightly as he looked really disappointed.
This doesn't look like fakery at all.
If what this child said is all false and disguised, his scheming would be terrible.
But that's obviously not the case.
There are some old people in the clan who have evil intentions towards the clan.
But those old guys are not stupid either. They know better than to take the initiative to approach Zhen at this time. The child's black eyes are like a spotlight. No matter what he does in the clan, he attracts special attention. If he wants to pass
This kid's fuss will only lead to a dead end.
As long as the caged bird remains, the Zong family can forever control the branch family. Once the child is given new eyes, this farce will be over.
Hizu can continue to lead the Hyuga clan towards revival.
Rizu...
Tae Kyu raised his head and sighed silently.
He is now isolated. It was Rizu who did this, and he did not resist or show any dissatisfaction. What he did in the beginning, he deserved to end up like this.
But in the end, both of his sons hated themselves.
"Really, Rizu will definitely give you a new Byakugan, don't worry."
"I know, Lord Taigui."
After Zhen walked out of Taigui's residence, he was immediately called to Rizu's residence.
"Did you go to Mr. Taigui's place just to read a book?" Rizu looked at Zhen with an expressionless face.
He knew that the boy in front of him was on Taigui's list, which made Rizu feel a little more disgusted with Zhen.
"Master Taigui also asked me some questions."
"what is the problem?"
Zhen then told everything that happened at Taigui's residence, and there was nothing to hide.
And if Tae Kyu has Rizu's spy again, he can't hide it even more.
After listening to what Zhen said, Rizu suddenly fell silent, and then said to Zhen in a calm tone: "Master Taigui is in very bad health now and needs to rest. Don't go to his place to disturb him in the future."
"I understand, Lord Hizu."
After Zhen turned around and left, Rizu looked at his back with cold eyes.
When I actually went to Tai Kyu's place, nothing suspicious happened.
But if you think about it carefully, this boy has only brought you trouble. Now you have to wait for your father to die to change his eyes. Before that, you have to be vigilant about any unusual behavior of the old guys in the clan.
A guy with mediocre qualifications and abilities, a guy who almost betrayed me...
