While Orochimaru was traveling around the world, Konoha and Iwagakure had been fighting back and forth.

As time went by, Old Murasaki returned to the Land of Earth and immediately told the Iwagakure ninjas he met about his previous encounter.

Although Old Murasaki and their Tsuchikage did not get along, the Iwagakure ninjas still respected this powerful senior.

The Iwagakure ninjas changed color when they learned about what happened, and they wanted to drag Old Murasaki back to the village to report to Ohnoki in person.

But Old Murasaki was unwilling to do so. He was afraid of Ohnoki, not because of his strength, but because he was worried that the old guy would continue to send him to the battlefield.

At that time, life and death would not be up to him, and he might be the next Han.

The Iwagakure ninjas also knew that they could not force it, so they could only rush back to the Iwagakure Village to report to the Tsuchikage.

One day later.

"What? Old Purple actually ran away? Han is still unknown whether he is alive or dead?"

Onoki slammed the table and said angrily to the ninja who was kneeling on one knee in front of him. At the same time, his short figure floated in front of the ninja and grabbed his collar.

"Tsuchikage-sama... According to Senior Old Purple's description, the situation should be correct. Our ninja also found the battlefield!"

The ninja was trembling with fear, but he had to tell the truth no matter how unpleasant the words were.

"Orochimaru!! I didn't expect Konoha to have such a strong fighting force!"

The furious Ohnoki hated Orochimaru to death. He destroyed two biological weapons in their village at once. Now, he could only fight Konoha with bayonets.

"Send more people, we must send them back!"

After receiving the order, the Anbu ninja on the side hurried down to make arrangements. Fortunately, they were not fighting alone. There were also two war allies, the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning, who had the same goal.

After losing the Jinchūriki, the Iwagakure ninjas on the front line made adjustments again and dared not attack so aggressively.

This news was also heard by the ninjas of Konoha not long after.

"Orochimaru disappeared for so long, but I didn't expect that he encountered two Jinchūriki of Iwagakure."

Hiruzen said, pausing his pipe, and his expression was also somewhat surprised.

"It is said that the fight was very intense, and now we don't know what the situation is."

"Hmph! How could Orochimaru contain the two tailed beasts? He might have been beaten to death."

Mitomon En on the side spoke up, while Danzo was a little suspicious. Orochimaru was still useful now, and he didn't want him to die so quickly!

In their impression, although Orochimaru was one of the three ninjas, it was obviously impossible for him to fight against two Jinchūriki on his own.

Didn't you see that Jiraiya's team ran away after a confrontation? Orochimaru could only fight a few moves at most.

How could they know that Orochimaru was hiding so deeply? He was like a dragon in the abyss waiting for clouds to gather, and a tiger in the forest waiting for the wind to rise!

"Didn't the intelligence say that he and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki have lost contact, maybe both of them are injured!"

Utatane Koharu also interrupted, and everyone was thinking about it as soon as the voice fell.

This news was sent back by the spy planted by Konoha in the Land of Earth, and too much detail could not be found.

But anyway, this news is very important to them. They are not thinking about the safety of Orochimaru, maybe the third generation will be a little worried.

As for the others, they are all thinking about how to fight a beautiful battle without the Jinchuriki!

"The team responsible for dealing with the Jinchuriki will continue to stand by, the Land of Earth can breathe a sigh of relief, and the extra manpower can be sent to the Land of Lightning."

The Hokage was the first to break the silence. The pressure of going to war with two big countries at the same time was really a bit great. He did not intend to take the opportunity to counterattack the Land of Earth, but took defensive measures.

"Hiruzen, we should take the opportunity to attack the Land of Earth."

Danzo jumped out to sing a different tune at an inopportune time. As a hawk of Konoha, he has always been more radical, and casualties are just numbers to him.

Danzo, who is eager to show off, doesn't care about these. He also plans to take advantage of the war to gain as much benefit as possible.

Only Danzo, who holds the Root, can speak so confidently to the Hokage. The other two elders who do not have real power did not participate in the argument between the two.

"The current situation is mainly stable, and the battlefield of the Land of Lightning is the top priority. You can't interfere in this issue!"

The Hokage also insisted on his own opinion without retreating a step. Fighting is not a child's play, and you can't do it as you please.

However, the Hokage did not say anything absolute. The Hokage can take back power and manage, or he can divide power and balance, but he cannot be the only one who has the final say. What's the point of holding a meeting like that? So he said again:

"You can go to the Land of Earth to supervise the battle. You can decide the specific form. Anyway, the front line cannot afford to lose!"

Seeing that his old friend took a step back, Danzo was still a little dissatisfied, but he stopped talking.It would be good if he had a reason to intervene. At that time, the generals would not obey the orders of the troops outside, and he would have the final say.

Danzo, who had already made plans in his mind, had already thought about how to gain benefits from this battle. Not to mention making money from the war, it was justified to take the opportunity to expand the strength of the root.

Not long after, a message spread among the Konoha ninjas that Orochimaru defeated the two Jinchūriki of the Hidden Rock Village on his own.

It was not known whether this news was deliberately spread by someone. It was normal at first, but as time went on, the news gradually became outrageous.

There were already new versions among the civilians, such as:

"Hey, I heard that Orochimaru killed two monsters from the Land of Earth, and let our Konoha win a big victory!"

A certain aunt said confidently, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, full of confidence.

Another example:

"Your news is out of date. My second cousin is at the front line. He told me that Orochimaru not only broke the offensive of the Hidden Rock Village, but also severely damaged the Tsuchikage!"

"I've said it before, among the three ninjas, Orochimaru is the most promising..."

Topics like this are everywhere, and the Konoha high-level officials did not come out to refute the rumors. This topic has eased the solemn atmosphere in the village recently.

At the same time, it also boosted morale in disguise. The ninjas who knew the truth also had more confidence in this war.

And a person who appeared not long after seemed to confirm the villagers' guesses, bringing the discussion of the Konoha residents to a climax.

"Lord... Lord Orochimaru, are you back?"

As soon as Orochimaru, who had put on the Konoha forehead protector again, arrived at the entrance of the village, two ninjas who were guarding the gate came to greet him.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong?"

Orochimaru looked at the two people with some doubts. Although he was not used to going through the gate, he shouldn't be so surprised, right?

Without thinking too much, Orochimaru walked slowly into the village. The civilians he met along the way all looked at him with respect, which made him a little puzzled.

"Isn't it just going out for a trip? Why do everyone look at me like an idol? Is there no one left in Konoha? Have I become a life-saving straw?"

With confusion, Orochimaru quickly came to the Hokage building to report the situation to the Hokage.
