102, Depressed Kato Duan (thanks to Jiu Ming, two ten thousand rewards)
Previously, I received intelligence from Konoha that Hanzo the Sansho Fish intercepted Tsunade and Jiraiya. Although he failed, he also successfully prevented Konoha's reinforcements.
Normally, Hanzo should pursue the victory and attack Konoha's frontline troops at this moment.
However, the opponent never took the initiative to fight. Even if Konoha provoked, the opponent would just let his subordinates accept the challenge.
"Could it be said that the special detonating talisman injured Hanzo? That's not right. According to Jiraiya's analysis, although the power of the explosion is not small, it can only hinder Hanzo's progress at most."
Orochimaru muttered, always feeling that things were strange.
They have also estimated Hanzo's strength. He is very strong and is not an easy character to deal with.
But the other party always avoided fighting and was very strange. Orochimaru was full of doubts and could only wait for the intelligence department to find out the matter as soon as possible.
*******
Sansho Fish Hanzo Military Camp.
Hanzo, whose whole body was wrapped in bandages, was silent, quietly listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Master Hanzo, the result of the investigation is this. The detonating talisman contains special energy and is very powerful. You must be careful."
"I understand, let's go down." Sanshouyu Hanzo waved his hand.
"Yes, Master Hanzo."
Whoosh!
Sanshouyu Hanzo watched his subordinates leave, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his hair was almost burnt off, making him look particularly ferocious.
"Damn Konoha, you used that terrible trap to assassinate me. Hateful, hateful, hateful!"
Sanshouyu Hanzo said angrily, saying three hateful words in a row, which was enough to prove how angry he was, but he was also afraid of that kind of detonating talisman.
"It's time to make a choice."
Picking up the crutch next to him, Sanshouyu Hanzo limped toward the inner hall, and soon came to a huge basement.
Then he saw the unconscious Sanjiaoyu in the basement, wrapped in straps all over his body.
"It's going to be hard on you this time."
Hanzo looked at the unconscious Sanshouyu. Thinking of the horrific explosion, he clenched his fists tightly.
"Konoha's provocations are becoming more and more frequent. It seems that we can only withdraw our troops and return to the village to hold on."
After Hanzo finished speaking, he sighed and turned around to leave.
**********
On the front line of Rain Kingdom, troops are stationed in Konoha.
Orochimaru was looking at the battle map, thinking about Hanzo's reason for avoiding the battle, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Whoosh whoosh!
"Lord Orochimaru, the Rain Country has withdrawn its troops." Two Konoha ninjas suddenly appeared and saluted respectfully.
"What did you say? The Kingdom of Rain withdrew its troops?" Orochimaru was stunned, his brows immediately furrowed, and the doubts in his heart became even thicker.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, the Rain Kingdom has completely withdrawn its troops. It seems that they plan to return to the village to avoid the war."
"Going back to the village to avoid the war? This is wrong. With Hanzo here, they have always been at an advantage, but why is this happening?"
"Could it be that there is a situation that I don't know about? Send an order and immediately order the Intelligence Department to find out about this matter at all costs."
"yes!"
Whizzing.
Orochimaru watched his subordinates leave, and he murmured: "Why do I always feel that Hanzo is running away? But this is impossible, Jiraiya's information is not wrong."
Orochimaru was confused and picked up the information and read it again.
"Intelligence says that Hanzo and the others were blocked, and the specific casualties are unknown. However, based on estimates of the scale of the explosion, it does not have a big impact on experts of Hanzo's level. What is going on?"
Orochimaru felt a little pain in his head. Since the explosion, he felt that the situation had become confusing and completely unpredictable.
"It seems that we can only stand still. Even if Hanzo is really injured, he is not suitable for fighting. In the end, Konoha's enemies will still be a few major countries."
Orochimaru said, choosing to continue waiting.
This wait lasts for several hours.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Orochimaru's mood was not calm. He looked at the bloody information in his hand and his eyes widened.
"Hanzo was seriously injured, Sanshouyu was in a coma, and the Rain Country was all huddled in the village, completely choosing to avoid the battle. This... this..."
Orochimaru took a deep breath, and a cold young face appeared in his mind, and the young man named Qianha appeared.
According to intelligence, this detonating talisman was made by Qianyu. The detonating talisman can seriously injure Hanzo and can definitely become a weapon on the battlefield.
"This kid, once again exceeded my expectations. It seems that I need to find an opportunity to meet him and study why he is so good."
Orochimaru said, with a searching light in his eyes, but soon he frowned again.
"No, since Qianyu gave Tsunade the detonating talisman, it is enough to prove that he still has the detonating talisman. If I really provoke him, wouldn't it be possible for me to be seriously injured by the explosion?"
Orochimaru was stunned, and suddenly felt a ridiculous feeling in his heart. The brat he used to knead casually could actually seriously injure him. Such growth made him a little unbelievable.
"No, with my current strength I would lose to Hanzo, and if Hanzo can be seriously injured by a bomb, wouldn't I be even more dangerous?"
Orochimaru murmured, somewhat unwilling to believe all this, but with the facts before him, he could only believe it.
"Forget it, this kid is a bit mysterious, I'd better find a way to learn the two techniques in the forbidden technique scroll first."
As Orochimaru said, he quickly wrote the information and sent the good news of the Rain Kingdom's retreat and Chihaha's contribution back to Konoha through expedited transmission.
This expedited method is very fast, and it is transmitted back to the Konoha Intelligence Department almost instantly. Orochimaru will also take some credit by then.
**********
Konoha Village, Hokage's Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kato Dan in the office and felt a little headache.
"Hokage-sama, I firmly oppose Hinata Chiba being exempted from taking the Chunin exam. This is a great injustice."
"Furthermore, Hinata Chiba is not suitable to be a ninja. With his lazy character, it would be better to be a carefree civilian. I suggest that he be disqualified from the exam."
Kato Dan spoke loudly, objecting righteously and with a very serious expression.
"Kato Dan, Chiba is only exempted from the first and second exams. He still has to compete in the third official match. He is not completely exempted from the Chunin Exam."
Hiruzen Sarutobi explained carefully and with as much kindness as possible.
"That's not okay. The other candidates are all taking serious exams. Why should he be exempted from the exam?" Kato retorted again with certainty.
"Qianyu is different, you will see his excellence in the future." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and continued to explain.
"He is different? He doesn't listen to orders, has a lazy temper, and plays with women. He is not suitable to be a ninja at all."
"Moreover, so what if he is excellent? He has no merit or merit, so why should he enjoy the exemption from the examination?"
Kato said without giving in, his attitude getting tougher.
His words made Sarutobi Hiruzen frown.
Bang!
The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open, and the intelligence captain rushed in.
"Lord Hokage, great news, the Kingdom of Rain has withdrawn its troops."
"Withdraw troops? Didn't you ask for reinforcements? Why did you withdraw your troops so suddenly?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was confused and couldn't figure out the reason.
"It's because Sansho Hanzo was seriously injured and his Sansho was also unconscious. Without high-level combat power, they can only avoid the battle."
The intelligence commander said in surprise and quickly handed a document to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Is there such a thing? Who is so powerful that he can seriously injure him?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was confused and hurriedly picked up the document and read it carefully.
quite a while.
"Okay, okay, great, I didn't expect it to be him, I didn't expect it to be him, hahaha." Sarutobi Hiruzen beamed with joy.
"Hokage-sama, I have also heard of Hanzo's fame. Who is so powerful that he can seriously injure him?" Kato Dan asked curiously.
"You'll know after you see it for yourself."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Kato Dan and threw the document over with a smile.
Kato Dan didn't think much, picked up the document and looked at it carefully.
But it didn't matter at this glance, his eyes suddenly widened.
"What? It's Hinata Chiba? How is this possible?"
Kato Suan was stunned, looking at the document in disbelief, his eyes full of horror.
He watched carefully in disbelief. He looked back and forth three times before finally believing it. At the same time, he felt a burning pain on his face.
He had just said that Qian Yu had no merit and was not eligible to be exempted from the exam. Then the merit came, and it was a big merit. This slap in the face was so damn painful.
The key person, Qian Yu, didn't even know about this. Maybe he was still playing with women. Such a result made Kato want to cry without tears.
He handed the document back depressedly, crying and not knowing what to say.
"Okay, you go to the front line to help Orochimaru." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.
"It's Hokage-sama."
Kato Suan bowed and left with a depressed mood.
************
The headquarters of the Hyuga clan and the laboratory in Qianyu's home.
Qianyu, who was wearing a white coat and white gloves, was taking tubes of medicine while feeling the warmth rolling through his body.
"The eyes are becoming more and more perfect. It seems that the second ability is about to awaken. I don't know what it will be? Is it the ability of the reincarnation eye? Or other abilities?"
Chiba murmured, always feeling that it might be the ability of the Uchiha clan. After all, among the medicines he took, Mikoto's blood purification medicine was the most powerful.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Qianyu said, picked up another bottle of potion, and drank it without hesitation.
