Slowly, Hatake Akira made a decision in his heart.
Chapter 212 Kakashi: I swear on Might Guy's youth.
The sight came to the battlefield of Water Country.
Orochimaru's troops had crossed the territory of the Fire Country the day before yesterday, and rushed from the southwestern border to the southeastern border of the Fire Country where Tsunade's troops were located.
To be honest, the support speed of Orochimaru's troops was already very fast, and the timing of the support was also appropriate and timely.
With the addition of Orochimaru's Konoha ninjas, the advance of the Water Country ninja forces was effectively curbed, and they even suffered considerable losses on a local battlefield.
Of course, this local battlefield does not include the encounter between Might Dai and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
It can be said that after Orochimaru's troops joined the battlefield in the Land of Water, the balance of offense and defense has become stable, and the ninja troops of the Land of Water can no longer advance even one step into the heart of the Land of Fire.
Moreover, after Orochimaru's troops were integrated with Tsunade's troops, the command naturally transferred to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru is not only an expert in scientific research, but also has made great achievements in combat command.
It can be said that Orochimaru is an all-rounder, and the factor that limits his improvement in strength may be his short life.
It is probably because of this reason that Orochimaru went further and further and went further and further astray in his pursuit of immortality.
Although the future has become confusing after the involvement of Hatake Akira, now that Orochimaru is in charge, the future situation of the Water Country battlefield will gradually become clear.
In addition to the title of "Three Ninjas of Konoha", Orochimaru is also known as "Cold Lord Orochimaru".
The original reason why "Cold Lord Orochimaru" was famous throughout the ninja world was because he had a pair of cold snake eyes, but what really made the enemies recognize this title was Orochimaru's cold-blooded style of commanding operations.
As we all know, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and Orochimaru is not only cold to himself and his own people, but also to his enemies in the same way.
Orochimaru's style of commanding operations is completely different from that of Jiraiya and Tsunade, two of the three ninjas. His tactics are quite similar to that of Danzo Shimura who died in this war.
He doesn't care about the life and death of his own people, nor does he care about the life and death of his enemies. Orochimaru only cares about the results, all he wants is victory!
Orochimaru could send out a team of Konoha ninjas as bait without hesitation. Not only did he ignore their lives, but it was also common for him to watch them die without helping.
Because of this, Orochimaru would usually achieve some unexpected results after sacrificing the lives of some Konoha ninjas.
Defeating the majority with the few and defeating the weak with the strong has always been the hallmark of Orochimaru when commanding troops in battle.
Therefore, this also created Orochimaru's unique personal charm, making some Konoha ninjas worship him crazily, while also making some Konoha ninjas fear him like the plague.
Because you don't know whether the next time Orochimaru assigns you a mission, will you be to act as bait and die, or to be the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waits behind.
Uncertainty and instability have become another label of Orochimaru's command style.
Although Orochimaru's command style will indeed cause Konoha's ninja troops to develop two extreme and divided ideas.
But it is undeniable that under the command of Orochimaru, the Konoha Ninja Force is gradually regaining the advantage and slowly eroding the Water Country Ninja Force that has invaded the territory of the Fire Country.
And today, the stalemate between the two sides will be broken, because Hatake Kakashi has led the Konoha ninjas under the former Namikaze Minato to the battlefield in the Water Country.
"Kakashi, your equipment... reminds me of those Warring States ninjas who have disappeared into the dust of history."
When Orochimaru saw Kakashi for the first time, he was stunned at first, then he licked his lips and uttered a teasing remark.
"I feel good."
When Akira Hatake was not by Kakashi's side, Kakashi always treated people with a very cold attitude.
Only Minato Namikaze can make Kakashi feel some different emotions.
Although Orochimaru is very famous, Kakashi doesn't give him any respect.
Kakashi has the ability, and he also has something to rely on.
"hehe."
Orochimaru chuckled and didn't take Kakashi's retort seriously. "Kakashi, do you choose to go on the battlefield mission immediately, or do you want to rest for a day first?"
"It's all up to Lord Orochimaru."
Kakashi blinked his dead fish eyes and kicked the ball of choice back to Orochimaru.
"hehe."
Another chuckle, Orochimaru's eyes sparkled, "Then go and carry out the battlefield mission immediately. I really want to see what kind of outstanding performance you, who are known as the Twins of Konoha together with Hatake Akira, will have on the battlefield."
"It will not let you down."
Kakashi's attitude remained cold, and his emotions barely fluctuated.
To be honest, considering Kakashi's current physical condition, it is no big deal for him to travel such a long distance to provide assistance.
With the help of Hatake Akira's third skill to assist Kakashi in his training, and with the many pieces of equipment given to him by Hatake Akira this time, Kakashi's physical fitness is now so strong that it is frightening.
Although he still can't catch up with Hashirama Senju, the total amount of life energy in Kakashi's body is now not inferior to that of Uzumaki Kushina.
But don't underestimate Uzumaki Kushina's physical fitness. She is a powerful person who can still survive after the tailed beast was extracted, and can even use sealing techniques to imprison the Nine-Tails again!
This shows how strong Kakashi's physical fitness is now.
"But I have a request."
But after agreeing, Kakashi still took the initiative to make a request to Orochimaru, "My companions who came to help me need to rest for about two days before they can be deployed to the battlefield."
"It's natural."
Orochimaru would certainly not make things difficult for Kakashi over such a matter, and he had no intention of doing so. He just wanted to see what Kakashi would look like after being irritated by him.
But unfortunately, Kakashi is not the kind of person who can be angered by just a few words. His mentality is very stable, as solid as a rock.
"So Kakashi, what kind of ninjas do you want me to send you?"
Orochimaru tilted his head, "Is he a medical ninja? Is he a sensory ninja? Or is he an auxiliary ninja?"
"No need." Kakashi shook his head, "They will only become a burden to me and limit my ability to exert."
"Oh, arrogant!"
Orochimaru didn't say anything, but Tsunade, who was standing aside and looking Kakashi up and down, snorted coldly and scolded Kakashi.
The reason why Tsunade scolded Kakashi was not because she was really blaming Kakashi, but because she wanted to take care of him a little in this way.
In Tsunade's opinion, long journeys are very physically and mentally exhausting, and Kakashi is also wearing a relatively heavy half-body armor and cloak, which undoubtedly makes Kakashi's exhaustion even more serious.
Listening to Tsunade's scolding, Kakashi knew that Tsunade was taking care of him, but knowing it didn't mean that Kakashi would appreciate it.
To be honest, whether it is Hatake Akira or Kakashi, the two can only exert their maximum strength when fighting alone.
Especially in a battlefield where the strength of the opponents is very different, whether or not there are teammates around is the biggest limiting factor affecting the speed at which the two people can mow down the enemies.
As mentioned earlier, when there are teammates around, Kakashi or Hatake Akira need to be distracted to take care of others, which prevents the two from firing on all cylinders.
But without the constraints of teammates, Kakashi or Hatake Akira can focus on slaughtering enemy ninjas at will.
"Lady Tsunade, please trust me. I can handle everything."
Kakashi put away his dead eyes and looked at Tsunade sincerely, hoping that she would stop interfering.
Tsunade glared at Kakashi, and seeing that the latter showed no sign of backing down, she could only let Kakashi go on his own.
"Hmph, whatever you say!"
"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."
Kakashi bowed to express his thanks, then looked at Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, I wonder what mission you have assigned to me?"
"Your mission..."
Orochimaru thought about it, then snapped his fingers, "Since you are so confident, I have no choice but to change the original mission and send you alone to the front battlefield of Water Country!"
"Orochimaru, you..." Tsunade stared at Orochimaru in disbelief, feeling somewhat confused in her heart.
Although Kakashi is now famous, rumors are just rumors, and as they spread, they are bound to be exaggerated.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing, what you hear is not. Before Kakashi's own strength was confirmed, Orochimaru gave him a mission to die alone, which Tsunade thought was totally out of line!
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
Just when Tsunade was about to stop him, Kakashi nodded in agreement. This action made Tsunade choke on the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Humph!"
Tsunade turned her head away angrily, not wanting to see or be bothered, and quickly walked out of Orochimaru's tent.
"Very good!" Orochimaru licked his lips, "You can set off now. Remember, you are the only one on this offensive mission!"
"I see."
Kakashi nodded slightly to Orochimaru, then turned and left the general's tent.
"Kakashi!"
Just when Kakashi was about to leave Orochimaru's tent, Might Guy popped up from somewhere.
"Kai?!"
Kakashi couldn't help but feel emotional when he met an old acquaintance in the camp.
After all, when they were in Team 8, Kakashi and Might Guy got along very well, and their relationship had reached the stage of close friends.
"Ha! Kakashi you look really majestic like this!"
Of course, Might Guy was also immersed in the joy of their reunion, which temporarily diluted the grief of losing his loved ones.
His behavior was a bit exaggerated and erratic. Might Guy kept jumping around Kakashi, poking him left and right while jumping. He was very curious about Kakashi's armor and cloak.
"What material is this made of... It doesn't look like the quality is that good, is it just a showpiece?"
After watching for a long time, Might Guy scratched his head and uttered something that almost made Kakashi fall.
"This is the artifact my brother gave me!"
Kakashi glanced at Might Guy with disgust, and even reached out and patted the place on the armor that Might Guy had touched.
"As for that... it's just talk."
Might Guy felt aggrieved and was just telling the truth, so why did Kakashi roll his eyes at him?
It’s really ordinary!
Of course, he is really handsome.
But then, Might Guy's eyes suddenly lit up again, "Kakashi, did Ming come with you?!"
