Chapter 192: Special Tasks, Monthly Pass](1/2)
There are currently no reinforcements in Konoha, but Toneri estimates that reinforcements from Sunagakure Village will arrive on the battlefield soon.
And as time goes by, the deterrent effect of Shiren's first amplified move will become weaker and weaker.
The situation is gradually heading in a bad direction.
"So, in order to reduce the pressure on the other two battlefields and at the same time reduce the pressure on our own side, it is time to take dangerous measures and go deep behind enemy lines to destroy their supply lines."
Orochimaru looked around the audience and expressed what he was thinking at the moment.
If the supply line of Sunagakure Village can be completely destroyed, it can delay the battlefield of Rain Country for a lot of time.
In fact, Orochimaru also sent someone to contact Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure Village, hoping that he could help Konoha fight against Sunagakure Village.
But Hanzo is not a fool. When the situation is still unclear, it is obviously not a good choice to rashly join the battle in Dayin Village.
So he simply found an excuse to reject Orochimaru's request, and stayed alone in the Land of Rain, watching from the sidelines.
As for what the residents of the Kingdom of Rain will face, he is not concerned about it for the time being.
If Orochimaru's ideas and proposals succeed, it will definitely be a good thing for Konoha.
But this is obviously not an easy task, and not everyone has the ability to complete this task.
Everyone in the tent looked at Orochimaru and Toneri, the master and disciple pair.
Noticing everyone's attention, Orochimaru had a faint smile on his face.
"This is not a simple task. To complete it, you need to be at least a Jonin or above. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?" Orochimaru asked.
For a moment, the people in the tent fell into silence.
It's one thing to have someone chosen, but it's another thing to say it.
This mission is obviously extremely risky. If you recommend anyone, if the other person does not come back, the person you recommended will definitely be jointly and severally liable.
However, some people have no such concerns.
For example, the person sitting in the first seat to the left of Orochimaru is Nara Shikaku!
"I think Toneri is a very good choice, and the Konoha Aangmao is also a strong enough deterrent to the Sand Ninjas at this time."
Shikaku fiddled with the pen in his hand, not looking at Toneri to avoid being frightened by him.
Just as he thought, Toneri was staring at Nara Shikaku with his sharp little eyes, breathing heavily from his nose, and making a "click" sound when he squeezed his hands.
"Ahem... seconded."
"Seconded!"
"Seconded."
"..."
The people in the tent were either admiring the special structure of the top of the tent, or counting the number of hairs on the heads of the companions next to them. In short, they just didn't look at the other person.
These guys!
In this regard, Sheren felt helpless.
Although it looked like Nara Shikaku had put this difficult task on his head, in fact, even if Nara Shikaku didn't say anything, only he could take on this task and he was qualified to take it on.
Others either don't have a high success rate, or they just risk their lives.
Nara Shikaku, who had seen through this a long time ago, would use this method to slightly disgust Toneri, in order to avenge his "deep hatred" of making him wash the dishes every time.
Hum hum——
You are destined to wash this bowl for the rest of your life!
Sheren thought viciously in his heart.
As a former captain, only Feha can speak with weight to Nara Yoshino. As long as he speaks a few more words and imparts some so-called "charioteer experience", Nara Shikaku will definitely have good results.
As if he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen to him, Lu Jiu's body trembled subconsciously.
Little did he know that this was just a little revenge on Toneri, and he made it clear that Toneri had a task that he couldn't refuse, but he would probably have to spend his whole life doing endless dishes and housework.
A smile also appeared on Orochimaru's cold face.
It is not an easy thing to see someone else suffer.
"It seems that this is what everyone expects. Mr. Sheren, please prepare well."
"Yes..." Shiren responded helplessly.
But then he continued, "However, the uncertainty is too high for me to do this task alone. It would be best if you can provide me with a few helpers, the kind who are truly capable."
As he spoke, he glanced at Nara Shikaku gently.
It's not that I have to choose him. The three of them, Zhu Lu Die, are the strongest together. When they are separated, the effect is not that powerful.
I just want to see if he can "recommend" a few more people to test his character.
But how could Nara Shikaku's mind do such a stupid thing?
"You choose yourself. Every ninja in the entire camp is within your choice."
Before Shiren could speak, someone stood up.
"I'll go, I think with my ability, I should be able to help Lord Sheren."
There are still people who willingly accept this kind of mission?
Toneri looked at the speaker with some curiosity. What caught his eye was a plain but resolute face, and what attracted the most attention were his eyes.
The pure white kernels are almost indistinguishable from the whites of the eyes, but the pupils in the eyes can still be distinguished.
Roll your eyes!
It was the Byakugan, one of the two eyes he wanted to study most, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan!
However, what he got on the battlefield were the corpses of members of the Hyuga clan, and the caged bird destroyed their eyes the moment they died.
As for the people of the Hyuga clan who can sit in this tent, the only ones who are qualified are the two sons of the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi.
"Hizashi!"
Just when this man stood up, sitting next to him was also a member of the Hyuga clan, and even looked almost exactly the same, it was Hyuga Hizashi!
Then the person who stood up to take over the task should be a member of the branch family, Hinata Hizashi's younger brother who was struck by the Caged Bird Curse Seal, Hinata Hizashi!
A trace of surprise flashed in Toneri's eyes, and he didn't know why he wanted to participate in this mission.
In fact, even his brother Hinata Hizashi doesn't know why Hizashi chose to participate in this mission.
Hearing Hizu's voice, Hizashi turned his head and said with a smile, "Brother, let me represent the Hyuga clan for the time being."
Hearing this, Hinata Hizu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little complicated.
Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi are two inseparable brothers. They were born together, grew up together, went to school together, grew stronger together, became jounin together, and went to the battlefield together.
The connection between the two people is almost inseparable.
However, these two almost identical people have completely different destinies.
Hyuga Hizashi, who was born a few seconds later, was only a member of the branch family after all. As a clan member, and could even be said to be the only candidate for the next generation of Hyuga clan leader, Hizashi did not have many choices.
For example, he was not qualified to participate in such an extremely dangerous mission.
The eyes of Orochimaru and Toneri flowed between the two of them. They also knew a lot about the nonsense of the Hyuga clan.
Especially for the pair of brothers in front of them who have a very good relationship. As they grow up, they gradually gain a certain reputation in Konoha.
Some people even lamented that the two of them will bring the Hyuga clan to new heights.
Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Hizashi communicated with each other through their eyes. In the end, their expressions were gentler, but their eyes were more stubborn and Hizashi won.
Watching the two brothers make their decision, Orochimaru nodded, "What do you think? The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has incredible abilities."
"Since the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is willing to participate, of course it's the best."
Since Hyuga Hizashi has said that he temporarily represents the Hyuga clan, then of course the Uchiha clan, which is also a wealthy family, cannot fall behind.
Orochimaru's eyes glanced at the Uchiha clan sitting on the other side intentionally or unintentionally, but his main gaze still fell on the face of the leader, Uchiha Fugaku.
Fugaku, who is around twenty years old, can already represent the Uchiha clan on the battlefield, which shows his status within the Uchiha clan.
"In that case, I will also apply to participate in this mission!"
Uchiha Fugaku said directly.
In fact, in the eyes of the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan looks down upon them.
Even though the Hyuga clan is one of the two wealthy families known as Konoha with them, the Uchiha clan does not regard the Hyuga clan as an existence that can keep pace with them.
At least so far, the Uchiha clan has not thought about it this way.
Occupying the most central area of Konoha, the clan has a large number of strong men who control the security of the entire Konoha and have many vassals.
No matter from any aspect, the Hyuga clan is incomparable to the Uchiha clan.
Even though the top management of Konoha has been supporting the Uchiha clan all these years, hoping that after the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan will not become dominant in Konoha, there are still some gaps in the support over the years.
However, the Hyuga clan is still quite successful, at least they have made little progress in recent years.
To be continued...
