vrcanaries Chapter 120 Secret
Chapter 120 Secret
After reading the scroll at his desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly stood up with a solemn expression, walked to the window of his office, and looked out the window with his hands behind his back.
Due to the war, the Konoha market that can be seen from here is much deserted than usual.
And this kind of desolation may have to continue for a long time.
The chaotic war situation in the Kingdom of Rain shows no sign of ending yet.The intelligence collected from various places once again showed that there were frequent actions on the Sunagakure side.
The scroll he read just now also recorded that Sunagakure Village used various means to collect armaments and mobilized a large number of ninjas near the eastern border. The purpose of these actions was already self-evident.
"Orochimaru, you should also be prepared."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "Sunagakure's movements are becoming more and more frequent. Once the war starts over there, I will transfer Sakumo there. And the position of the frontline vanguard of the Land of Rain requires you. Three on top.”
In every battlefield, in addition to the commander as the main general who takes charge of the situation, there must also be a vanguard officer who can attack the enemy directly.
From now on, Hatake Sakumo will be in charge of the Land of Sand, and his three disciples will be in charge of the battlefield of the Land of Rain.
This arrangement was a decision he made after thinking about it for a long time.
Compared with the battlefield in the Land of Rain, the pressure on Sunagakure's side will be much weaker, and Hatake Sakumo should have no problem standing in front alone.
After all, the Kingdom of Rain has to deal with the two-sided front of Iwagakure and Amegakure.Although his three disciples are not as powerful as Sakumo individually, they cooperate well with each other and have comprehensive abilities.
The most important thing is that only Tsunade can handle Hanzo's poisonous energy.
"The three of us will be the main vanguard officers?"
Orochimaru was silent for a moment. To be honest, he didn't want to be a vanguard officer on the frontline battlefield.
With his current strength, he can complete S-level tasks with ease.But the vanguard officer is different, which means that he may have to face the high-level combat power of Iwagakure and Amegakure.
Amegakure's Sanshouyu Hanzo and Iwagakure's jinchūriki might also be dispatched.
In a confrontation with a master of that level, even he would be in danger of death if he was not careful.
But he had no way to refuse the Hokage's entrustment and could only nod in agreement.
"But, is there any way to get Kurama Yan to be with you?"
As he turned to leave, Orochimaru's snake eyes flashed with a different thought.
The Sandaime Hokage didn't know what kind of monsters were hidden under him, but he knew it clearly.
That's a man who possesses unbreakable genjutsu that ignores the ninja class.
As long as Kurama Yan stayed by his side, no matter how bad the battle situation was, he was confident that he would survive.
Unfortunately……
He shook his head slightly and closed the door to the Hokage's office.
With that child's personality, he would not expose his abilities for him.
And it was impossible for me to beg him for such a thing.
"Anyway, I am also one of the few masters in the entire Konoha Village, so I still have such self-esteem." Walking on the corridor, Orochimaru had a self-deprecating smile on his lips, closing his eyes and no longer thinking about such things.
In the office, after Orochimaru left, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still staring at the scenery outside the window. After a long while, he looked away, sighed, and sat back in his seat.
If the war continues and expands like this, we don't know when it will end, and we don't know how many ninja lives will be sacrificed in the end.
At such a stall, Danzo, who was in charge of the front line in the Land of Rain, was in trouble again.
He impatiently attracted Sanshouyu Hanzo, and revealed the tacit understanding of the war.
As a result, the morale of the military was unstable.
"After some time, when the battle situation there becomes more stable, let Danzo come back." Hiruzen Sarutobi brought the pipe closer, took a strong puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke, silently making such a decision.
Danzo Shimura is no longer suitable to continue to command the frontline battlefield.
……
On the streets of Konoha Village.
Of the four people who originally left the Hokage Building together, only Kurama Yan and Hinata Yui were left walking side by side on the way home.
Mikoto and Naoki didn't go along with them, so they said goodbye to them at the previous intersection.
Kurama Yan put his hands in his pockets and looked sideways at the inexplicably happy look of the white-eyed girl beside him, feeling a little strange.
On the way back from Loulan, he often saw Hinata Yui smiling in a daze, and then fading away.
"Yui, did you encounter something happy?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Has Ayan noticed it?" Hinata Yui suddenly realized.
Kurama Yan pointed out helplessly: "You should restrain yourself a little, you are laughing so much that your mouth is watering."
Hinata Yui quickly wiped the corners of her mouth after hearing this, and glared at her friend dissatisfiedly after realizing that she had been cheated.
"Maybe it's because of the boy from the future." Kurama Yan guessed.
He thought about it, and that was the biggest change recently.
Hinata Yui looked at him with wide eyes, looking very surprised.
"Ayan, you have become so smart now that you can guess right directly."
Immediately she showed a thoughtful expression and murmured to herself: "Ayan is a trustworthy person. It should be fine if you tell him."
Seeing her serious look, Kurama Yan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and advised: "If it's something confidential, just don't say it."
What he fears most is that others tell him secrets that only two people know.
When the secret somehow leaks out, you might be blamed.
It would be better not to know in the first place.
"But I really want to share this with Ayan. I am the only one who knows about it, and it always feels a bit illusory." Hinata Yui frowned, feeling very embarrassed.
"You can tell your family." Kurama Yan suggested.
"No, you must not tell your family about this." She shook her head.
"Then tell me..." Kurama Yan was helpless.
……
In order to ensure the confidentiality of the information, Hinata Yui jumped into the nearby dense forest with Kurama Yan, opened her Byakugan and scanned the surrounding area. She found that no one was nearby, so she safely turned off the eye technique.
Seeing her like this, Kurama Yan folded his hands in front of his chest with great interest, leaned against the trunk of a thick tree, and listened to the white-eyed girl in front of him recount the previously concealed information.
"Is it because you know that you will be separated from the Hyuga family in the future and you don't have to worry about who will inherit the clan? Is that why you are so happy?"
After listening, he summarized the key points and asked a confirming question.
Hinata Yui nodded: "Well...that's probably it."
"Do you think that boy's words are credible?"
Hearing such a question, Hinata Yui lowered her head and thought seriously for a while before giving an affirmative answer: "I don't know, but I am willing to believe him."
"Is that so..."
Kurama Yan adjusted his glasses and fell into deep thought.
If the information revealed by the Hyuga clan boy who returned to their time from the future is true, then the information hidden in it will be very interesting.
