That night, Tsunade Hime took a team of guards to escort Sarutobi Lily away and returned to the village.
The support troops she brought rushed to the forward position after resting in the camp for a night.
Originally expecting a large-scale war to break out, Konoha's frontline troops had been on high alert for many days.
But what was unexpected was that Kumogakure had been quietly defending his position since the surprise attack that killed Sarutobi Shinnosuke, without launching an offensive.
Between the two positions, only patrolling ninjas encountered each other from time to time and small-scale conflicts occurred.
The rear camp, in Uchiha Yuan's tent.
"Strange, what the hell is Kumogakure doing?"
Looking at the intelligence coming from the front, Yamanaka Kino frowned, wondering why Kumogakure's offensive suddenly stopped again.
"Did the negotiation between Kumogakure and Iwagakure break down?"
Qiu Daohai said while biting into a huge piece of barbecue.
"possible."
Yamanaka Kino added: "But according to the intelligence, there was no change in the frontline position where the village and Iwagakure were facing each other. Iwagakure has been quietly maintaining a defensive position."
Yueguang Liufeng took a sip of tea and said: "No matter what Iwagakure does, it shouldn't affect us here, but Kumogakure's behavior is really strange. With the character of this martial arts group, they will actually defeat our three lines of defense." Then take the initiative to retreat.”
Yamanaka Kino said: "Maybe Kumogakure can't hold it anymore, but they don't want to negotiate peace with us?"
Uchiha Yuan sat quietly, listening to the discussion between Yamanaka Kino and others.
Akimichi Kai showed an angry expression and said: "If the Kumo ninja couldn't hold on anymore, why did they launch a large-scale offensive? Now that Captain Shinnosuke died in the raid, it is impossible for us to negotiate peace with them."
Yamanaka Kino's eyes flickered, his face showing contemplation, "I always feel that Kumogakure's raid has some purpose?"
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, thinking about the reasons for Yunyin's strange behavior.
Qiu Daohai felt a headache after thinking for a while. He was confused and couldn't figure out why Yunyin suddenly stopped his offensive.
He turned his eyes to the others, then saw Uchiha Yuan, and said: "Master Yuan, the Kumo ninja's assassination team has not appeared recently. Have they given up?"
When Yamanaka Kino heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he looked at Uchiha Yuan and said: "I understand, Kumogakure's purpose is probably Lord Yuan."
"Um?"
"What do you mean, why don't I understand?"
After hearing Yamanaka Kino's words, everyone raised questions.
Yamanaka Kino said: "Everyone knows that Kumogakure has a strong desire for revenge. This time their fourth generation Raikage was injured by Lord Yuan. This is an unbearable shame for Kumogakure; that's why they frequently send out assassination teams. Attack Lord Yuan."
After a pause, Yamanaka Kino seemed to think more clearly, and continued: "So the raid by Kumo Ninja was an act of revenge. The purpose was to let us know that even if the Fourth Raikage was repulsed, Kumo Gakure is still not someone to be trifled with. .
What Hai said just now made me realize that Kumogakure's assassination team has indeed not appeared for a while, but has Kumogakure really given up on assassinating Lord Yubuchi? "
"I don't think it's possible, and I even think that the next assassination attempt by Kumo Ninja might be very violent."
"Now Kumogakure no longer launches an offensive, but they still send out a large number of patrolling ninjas every day; I feel that they are purposefully diverting the attention of the frontline positions."
Yueguang Liufeng was startled, stood up suddenly and said: "Kino, you mean that if there is an assassination team of Kumo ninja, the leader may be a big shot of Kumo ninja."
Yamanaka Kino nodded, "Yes, after all, only by killing Master Yuan can the shame of Kumo Ninja be removed."
Then he looked at Uchiha Yuan and said: "Master Yuan, I think we should inform Lord Jiraiya of our guess."
Uchiha Yuan smiled and said: "Advisor Kino, although there is a slight possibility, do you think Lord Jiraiya will believe it?
I believe that in order to take revenge, a certain big shot from the Kumo ninja led his team to sneak all the way to the back of our position regardless of the danger, just to kill me.
Genin can be sacrificed at will, but I don't think Kumo nin will put high-end combat power into danger easily. "
After a while, Yamanaka Kino and others left the camp.
Pharmacist Nonoyu walked in with the medicine, and then checked and injected Uchiha Yuan skillfully. 33
Shao Qing, after some actions, the pharmacist No Naiyu put away the syringe and prepared to leave.
However, after taking two steps, she suddenly turned around with a look of hesitation on her face.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yuan asked: "Doctor Medicine Master, do you have anything to say?"
Pharmacist No Naiyu was hesitant to speak, but he was hesitant to speak. After a while of entanglement, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master Yuan, the test data about your body has been taken away."
Uchiha Yuan looked at the pharmacist Nonou, his eyes were calm, but there was an aura of calmness and authority.
"Taken by who?"
Although Uchiha Abuchi's voice was calm and calm, Yakushi Nonoyu felt an indescribable power.
'This kind of power is what Yuan-sama is capable of defeating the Fourth Raikage. '
Pharmacist Nonoyu said softly: "Master Orochimaru sent someone to take it away. After thinking about it, I think I should tell you about it."
In Uchiha Abuchi's treatment during this period, pharmacist Nonoyu knew very well that her medical methods only played a supporting role; the most important thing was that Uchiha Abuchi's own chakra provided him with strong and huge vitality.
Regarding this, Uchiha Yuan did not deliberately hide it, and Yakushi Nonoyu did not take the initiative to ask, and the two sides maintained a tacit understanding.
Therefore, every time the pharmacist Nonoyu examined Uchiha Yuan's body, he was also observing the changes in various data of his body under this chakra.
Pharmacist Nonoyu felt that the powerful power shrouded in the camp suddenly disappeared, and couldn't help but look at Uchiha Yuan in surprise.
Uchiha Yuan said: "It turns out to be Senior Orochimaru. Since he wants it, let him take it."
Uchiha Yuan had long realized that Orochimaru was interested in him. When he learned that Orochimaru had sent someone to take away his physical examination data, he did not feel any surprise, but felt very calm.
In fact, this situation had been expected by him, otherwise he could have refused to let pharmacist Nonoyu check his body, or asked her to destroy the data.
He was setting a bait for Orochimaru for future cooperation between the two.
Uchiha Yuan believed that Orochimaru would be interested in his body for practicing immortal magic.
Two days later, at night.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Uchiha Yuan led a team of guards to patrol around the camp.
In the past two days, a battle broke out in the frontline positions. The Kumo ninja launched attacks on Konoha's positions for two consecutive days, and the offensive was very fierce; at one point, they almost broke through Konoha's defense line.
Walking in a grass field on the west side of the camp, Uchiha Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at the woods in the distance.
"who!"
Following Uchiha Yuan's sharp shout, several strong winds suddenly rushed out of the woods.
Then several figures appeared in succession, standing around Kusano, surrounding Uchiha Bubuchi and others.
Some people died, but not completely...
