As the sun set, a carriage passed through a mountain road surrounded by woods.
The person driving the carriage at the front was Orochimaru in kimono.
At this time, he changed into a new kimono.
Uchiha Chen couldn't help but have a guess in his mind, Orochimaru must be a kimono control, otherwise why would he like to wear kimono so much.
He analyzed Orochimaru's mental illness in his mind.
Ninjas rarely wear kimonos, so the reason why the outstanding Orochimaru has been single for so long is because none of the women around him wear kimonos.
So that in the end he slowly turned into a pervert, so he simply turned himself into a woman and then wore it for himself
Thinking of this, Uchiha Chen suddenly shuddered. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
While Uchiha Tatsu was analyzing, Mikoto next to him was as silent as ever. She stared at Uchiha Tatsu quietly.
Sitting at the very back of the carriage was Roshu, who had yellow hair and looked like an idiot.
Compared to the other three people in the carriage, the appearance of the rope tree is a bit unremarkable.
He lowered the average appearance of the car.
At this time, he was sticking his butt out, blocking the view of the people in front of him, and counting his gold bars alone.
There were only a few gold bars in total, and the rope tree had turned them over and counted them several times.
After he finished counting, he stuffed it into his underwear. After hiding it, he returned to his usual liveliness.
"I can finally go back to Konoha!"
Naoshu said excitedly. In response to what Naoshu said, several people had smiles on their faces.
Uchiha Tatsu rolled over comfortably on the carriage.
After a few of them rested for a night in Rogge Town, they set out on their way back to Konoha.
Different from the rush when they came, everyone went back by carriage.
After all, all three of them actually had injuries, big and small.
As for Rogge Town, Konoha will send ninjas to take over later and it has nothing to do with them.
"Everyone has worked hard these days."
Orochimaru gave a faint smile and left Rogge Town, his tense face gradually becoming relaxed.
From the moment they accepted this mission to now, the mission for a group of four people lasted for nearly a week. Orochimaru must always pay attention to the safety of the three of them, so his nerves are also in a state of high tension.
"When I go back this time, I want to buy a hundred comic books about different types of professional women."
Naoshu rubbed his hands and became excited. Now that he has money again, he can buy many comics about love and action this time when he goes back.
In the past few years, the comic books he secretly bought and hid were all sold second-hand at low prices by his sister Tsunade.
"Naoki, before you came on the mission, Teacher Tsunade made a condition to you. Have you forgotten it?"
"I forgot all about it eight hundred years ago—"
"Then let me remind you, she said 70% of your mission reward will be given to her. She said she will save it for you and use it to provide for your retirement in the future."
"I'm only nine years old now, how can I support myself? If I give it to her for one night, I'll be gone."
Uchiha Tatsumi shrugged helplessly. After all, there was nothing he could do to help, and he had to hand over 20% of the mission fee to Tsunade.
In Tsunade's words, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh.
After all, she already had a lot of debt from gambling.
So gambling kills people.
Orochimaru suddenly frowned, he felt someone calling him.
"What's wrong, Orochimaru-sensei?" Uchiha Chen keenly felt the changes in Orochimaru in front of him.
"It should be that information from Konoha has been sent back." Orochimaru said as he cut his thumb open and then made a seal on the carriage.
"Psychic Art"
Then a small red snake was channeled.
The snake glanced at Orochimaru, then protruded a slimy scroll from its mouth.
"Uh..." Uchiha Tatsu couldn't control his stomach again.
He's been feeling like vomiting lately.
Only now did he understand that mysophobia was sometimes not his own problem, but could also be caused by the people around him.
Orochimaru didn't care about the slime on the scroll.
He picked up the scroll and wiped it on the rope tree's backpack, then opened the scroll.
Rope Tree: "......"
He asked someone to buy it for him from Tang Country.
The postage is very expensive, so it was wasted like this.
Orochimaru silently read the latest information from Konoha.
The letter Orochimaru found in the cellar had been sent to Konoha by him.
The letter ordered the leader of Rogge Town to take away the collected belongings and immediately go to reinforce the border between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Rain. A small gold mine was discovered there.
The signature is Sansho Fish Hanzo.
Uchiha Tatsu was skeptical about this.
After all, if a ninja would destroy such a secret message after reading it, how could it still be left in the secret room
Secondly, that gold mine is technically in the Land of Fire.
No matter how high Hanzo thinks of himself, he doesn't really think that he is the god of ninjas. He can fight ten of them!
The Land of Fire is the most powerful country among the five major countries. The current situation is so bad that a ninja war will occur if you are not careful.
He went to tease the country of grass, but Konoha could still restrain himself.
But does he really dare to provoke Konoha's sensitive nerves
Unless he's crazy!
So is that ninja really from the Land of Rain? Are the contents of this letter true
Uchiha Tatsuya was doubtful. He thinks this is a trap.
However, it was not up to him, Uchiha Tatsu, to decide whether it was a trap or not.
He is not in charge of Konoha now. Although the Third Hokage said every day that they were Hokage's successors, after all, no ninja came to him to discuss the specific succession issues.
To put it bluntly, he is still a salty fish. A salty fish who is not even cannon fodder. These things were matters that the big shots in Konoha worried about and had nothing to do with him.
Orochimaru put away the letter and said nothing.
Uchiha Tatsumi and the others would not stupidly ask about the contents of the letter.
The ninja regulations are clearly written. Don't ask casually about things you shouldn't ask.
After all, Orochimaru is the leader of the Jonin team. They are just students and are not qualified to ask for such confidential information.
Orochimaru wanted to tell them naturally, but if he didn't, then it would be very simple.
They don't deserve to know yet.
Uchiha Tatsumi turned over and found a comfortable position to lie down.
The car kept shaking on the road, which made him feel a little sleepy.
I really like the feeling of this car vibration!
Orochimaru turned his head, his golden eyes facing Uchiha Tatsumi.
"Speaking of which, Chen, is your body really okay?"
Uchiha Tatsu's chest injury was still recovering. After all, he was injured, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be in trouble.
Uchiha Tatsumi smiled slightly and waved his right hand, indicating that he was completely fine.
"A man can't say no! This kind of injury is nothing to me."
"That's good." Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction.
Uchiha Chen was a little confused. What's going on with this sudden concern? No way should such a warm conversation appear in Orochimaru's mouth.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and a crossroads appeared not far away.
After turning right, walk straight down and you will reach Konoha.
Just as he was about to cross the intersection, Orochimaru turned slightly and turned to the left.
“……..”
After a while, Uchiha Tatsu couldn't help but asked, "Teacher, are you going to the wrong place? You are getting further and further away from Konoha now."
"That's right. We just received a new mission. Konoha sent us to investigate that small gold mine."
"But I'm hurt!"
"I just asked you if your injury is okay. I was still thinking that if you really can't do it, I will give up this mission."
"But you said you were completely fine."
"It hurts... My chest hurts so much, Orochimaru-sensei."
“……..”
"It's okay, Tsunade's team happens to be nearby. We are conducting a joint mission with them this time, and she can help you treat her."
"I remember she was very good at slug penetration. Do you want to give it a try? It's very cool!"
