Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 122 The Journey of Five

In the Sand Village, in a desert Gobi, five short figures were sitting on camels, looking around curiously.

But soon, the unchanging desert and the sand that blew from time to time made Tsunade Senju, one of the five people, feel bored.

"Orochimaru, how long will it take to get to the Sand Village, bah."

Tsunade Senju spat out the sand that flew into her mouth, quickly put on a hat with gauze, and looked at Orochimaru who was leading the way, her little face became frowning.

"It will take half a day to reach the next oasis town."

Orochimaru also put on a hat, and glanced around with his narrow snake eyes. He compared the distance they had traveled with the map in his mind, and answered Tsunade Senju's question.

"Hey, Tsunade, you can't handle this? You are a graduate of the advanced department after all, so don't embarrass us!"

Jiraiya, who would argue with Senju Tsunade whenever he got the chance, did not hesitate to express his contempt on the camel, "Don't say you are Takean's disciple outside, that would bring shame to the title of [Head of the Ninja World]!"

"Jiraiya, I think you deserve a beating again!"

Senju Tsunade immediately clenched her fists, with a look that was somewhat like that of Uzumaki Mito when she was angry and majestic, and glared at Jiraiya, who was startled, then hurriedly led the camel and ran to the edge.

"Jiraiya, stop talking to Tsunade. You get beaten up every day. Is there something wrong with you?"

Kato Dan, who had received many love letters in Konoha and had been confessed to by girls, was also a little confused about Jiraiya's actions.

It is said that Jiraiya likes Tsunade, but he always makes her angry; it is said that he hates her, but every time when he and his fellow disciples spar, he always uses the lightest attack, which makes Tsunade angry.

After a series of operations, even Kato Dan, who seemed the most mature and steady in the team, thought that Jiraiya was addicted to being beaten by Senju Tsunade and developed strange habits.

"Duan, don't talk nonsense!"

When Jiraiya heard others suspect that he had a problem, he immediately became angry. He took out a few indecent photo albums from his arms, pointed at the big-breasted women posing in seductive ways on the covers, and started arguing with Kato Dan.

“I like this!”

(I like this, too, but don’t say it!)
Jiraiya's eloquent words left Kato Dan speechless. He looked at Jiraiya with an expression of admiration on his face, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Duan, I know you like it too."

Jiraiya laughed softly, "No man in the world can resist big breasts. Do you want to enjoy them together tonight? This is a rare masterpiece!"

Kato Dan's face instantly showed excitement, but if he watched this kind of thing with Jiraiya, it would be a lifetime black history if he was discovered, so he politely declined, "We are only nine years old!"

"Hey, I have another one. It's the latest masterpiece by a big star on TV!"

Jiraiya keenly caught Kato Dan's reluctance and quietly increased the weight, causing Kato Dan to look dilemma on his face.

Hiruko squinted his eyes at the two men with contempt, and led the camel closer to Orochimaru.

The scorching sun in the sky made Tsunade Senju open the kettle again. After finding that there was no water in it, she took out a new kettle from the camel's back, took a sip, and then complained.

"How did the people of the Sand Village survive in such a hellish place? No wonder they were defeated by the Hidden Rain Village. Even the name of the shadow of the Great Ninja Village couldn't protect them."

After three days of fermentation, the news from the Black Horn Region has spread throughout the entire ninja world.

As long as they were not cut off from the outside world, the ninjas could find out from the televisions on the streets and the "Extra, Extra" newspapers.

After seeing the scenery of Loulan, the five people who rented five camels naturally knew about it.

"Tsunade, don't underestimate people's resilience and potential. The Sand Village can exist and produce Kage-level warriors one after another. It has its own strength and resilience."

Orochimaru felt bored in the desert and wanted to say a few more words to relieve his fatigue.

"From the first generation to the second generation of Sand Village, there was little progress in between, but the second generation, Sandamon, was very capable."

"First, he developed magnetic escape from the One-Tail, and then he developed the puppet secret technique. If he hadn't overestimated his own capabilities and tried to invade Konoha, he would have been executed by Master Takean. His subsequent development would have been enough to maintain the reputation of the Great Ninja Village."

"Unfortunately, after the Second Ninja World War, the Sand Village was weak in succession and had to let a woman serve as the village leader. Although her strength is at the level of Kage, she is not as good as Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village."

Tsunade Senju listened with great interest to Orochimaru's commanding speech at first, but she was a little unhappy about the fact that "a mere woman" could become the leader of a ninja village, so she raised her voice.

"Orochimaru, do you have a problem with women becoming leaders?"

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, finding it difficult to respond - because he felt that if he continued to argue on this topic, he would be the one in trouble.

Hiruko, who was beside him, came to Orochimaru's rescue, "Tsunade, Orochimaru didn't mean that. He probably just felt that there was no one to carry on the Sand Village."

"Isn't there another One-Tail Jinchuriki named Bunfuku?"

Orochimaru was relieved by the change of topic, and explained after hearing what Senju Tsunade said.

"From the battle in the Black Horn Region, we can see that Fonfuku's control over the One-Tail is far weaker than that of the Fifth Generation Han of the Iwagakure Village. It is difficult for someone who is prone to the Tailed Beast crisis at any time to become a leader."

"What's so difficult about controlling a tailed beast?"

Senju Tsunade curled her lips and said with disdain, "It's simply because the Jinchūriki himself is too weak."

Orochimaru looked at the fact that his mother was the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and his grandmother was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Senju Tsunade. His unintentional Versailles made him speechless. "Tsunade, not all ninja villages have the powerful sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, and not everyone has the strength of Lady Minako and Lady Mito."

Beiluhu continued to take over the topic and talked about recent events, his tone full of strong curiosity.

"The [Lava Style: Blood Seed] recently announced by the Academy of Sciences was obtained from the Four-Tails. The Sand Village obtained Magnetic Style from the One-Tails. Mr. Takean's family obtained Flame Style from the Two-Tails. I just don't know what blood secrets the Seven-Tails and the Nine-Tails can produce."

"I've heard from my mother and grandmother before that the Seven-Tailed Fox and the Nine-Tailed Fox will also produce corresponding blood-stained secrets."

"Really, Tsunade?"

"Of course it's true. I would never lie to you."

Under the expectant gazes of Orochimaru and Hiruzen, Senju Tsunade folded her arms across her chest and tilted her head to think about it.

"Nanabi is a large beetle with six wings and a tail. It flies very fast and spits out scale powder from its mouth that can rob the opponent of their vision. Its development direction is swift escape and dark escape."

"Kyuubi is a giant fiery red fox with nine tails. It has very comprehensive abilities, but I don't know the specific research direction."

Seeing the disappointed looks of the two, Senju Tsunade was a little speechless, "Wait until you join the Academy of Sciences and do your own research, right?"

"That's true."

Orochimaru nodded, a determined look in his eyes, "Not only will I study the power of the tailed beasts to make Konoha stronger, I will also study Wood Release and Sharingan!"

"Then I'll be waiting for you, Orochimaru. Wood Release, eh, why haven't I awakened it yet? Could it be that only Grandpa Hashirama has it?"

Tsunade Senju swung forward fiercely, causing the air to explode with a sound.

Jiraiya and Kato Dan, who were arguing at the side, were startled. Jiraiya was about to stuff the photo album into Kato Dan's hands when it slipped out of his hands.

(my wife!)
Jiraiya quickly bent down and took the photo album in his hand. He took a look at the photo album that was not covered with dust and sand, breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Senju Tsunade.

"Tsunade, what are you doing? You scared the camel!"

"I think you're frightened!"

Senju Tsunade glanced at the camel that was still moving slowly forward and sighed.

"I'm almost a special jonin, but I still can't awaken Wood Release. I guess there's no hope. Once I become a combat ninja and earn merits, I'll exchange for [Laojuku: Blood Seed]."

Hiruhu was a little surprised, "Hey, didn't Lady Minako and Lady Mito prepare anything for you?"

Senju Tsunade said depressedly, "Didn't Master Wuan say that we have to fight for public property ourselves?"

"That is to train our abilities, and the advanced department's three ninjutsu are enough for us to learn. There are still many things we haven't learned yet."

After Orochimaru explained, an expectant expression appeared on his face, "However, people are different in their closeness. I am looking forward to what gifts Mr. Wuan will give us after we graduate."

“I hope it won’t be just verbal rewards.”

Tsunade Senju complained and looked at the still long desert. The so-called oasis still hadn't appeared.

"I really don't understand. What do you want this kind of land for? I wouldn't even want it if it was given to me for free."

"That's the case now, but isn't the Academy of Sciences developing a desert transformation project? Perhaps in the future, this endless desert Gobi will become a vast forest that's no less lush than Konoha."

Orochimaru took a sip from the kettle and smiled, "The power of chakra is infinite, and the development of chakra technology in the future is also unlimited."

As the few people talked, time passed slowly. When the sun was about to set, an oasis appeared in front of the five people.

As dissatisfied as they were with the desert, the five people were shocked when they saw the oasis.

It is a miracle of natural birth.

And this miracle is now being expanded by ninjas.

The Flying Thunder God Formation, which is connected to the Yangtze River, is spewing out a steady stream of water, while a group of water-style ninjas are performing joint ninjutsu in an orderly manner.

Not far away, a life ninja who was proficient in earth escape was controlling the desert land and planting trees one by one that were transmitted through the Flying Thunder God Formation. The oasis was continuously expanding outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“This may be what Mr. Wu An said: man can conquer nature.”

Orochimaru looked at the scene in front of him with longing in his eyes.

"I heard that Lord Hashirama once used Wood Release to create a huge sea of ​​trees. If someone in the village awakens Wood Release, the transformation of the desert should be much easier."

"Let's go. There should be a teleportation array in the oasis. We can go directly to the Sand Village through the teleportation array."

Orochimaru led the team to the oasis, and someone behind him said something.

"There's nothing to see in the Ninja World anymore. Do you want to go to another continent and take a look?"
