Chapter 166 Orochimaru Volunteers

Chapter 166: Orochimaru Volunteers (Part and )

"Teacher, I went to the Anbu."

As they walked, Hanekawa talked about the recent war situation in the Frost Country.

"Luo Sha's strength is indeed amazing."

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said, "Fortunately, the Third Raikage's conspiracy did not succeed, otherwise our Konoha Village would be attacked from all sides."

This is exactly the dilemma faced by Konoha Village in the original work, which was attacked successively by Sand Village, Iwagakure Village, Mist Village and Cloud Village.

If it weren't for the appearance of Minato Namikaze who knew the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, they would have probably suffered a crushing defeat.

It was precisely because of his great contributions that he became the Fourth Hokage despite his young age.

But the situation is different now. It will be difficult for him to become Hokage.

"Teacher, I'm going to buy two popsicles."

Hanekawa walked towards a store not far away.

Tsunade stopped and waited.

"Give."

Hanekawa gave Tsunade a popsicle.

“It’s nice to have popsicles in the summer.”

Tsunade stretched out her pink tongue and licked the ice.

The biting cold made her body shiver and she felt extremely cool.

Hanekawa blinked.

This scene is truly a feast for the eyes.

After returning home and having lunch, Tsunade couldn't help but run to the casino.

She originally wanted to ask Hanekawa to join her, but he refused because he wanted to practice.

Earth Escape: Clay Falling from the Sky!

Hanekawa stood there with his hands in seals.

Not far from him, the air twisted and a large amount of clay fell out.

In the past two months, apart from the Yin Seal, he has been practicing Earth Release Ninjutsu.

Earth Style: Clay Falling from the Sky is a B-rank ninjutsu. In the original work, it is used by the Anbu ninja of Naruto.

The scroll of ninjutsu that Hanekawa obtained from Sarutobi Hiruzen through Tsunade.

"Hanekawa."

Just then, Nohara Lin came over.

"Is something wrong?"

Hanekawa noticed her hesitant expression and asked.

"Um...I want to ask you for a favor."

Nohara Lin took a deep breath and said, "I want to try the spirit transformation technique."

"How to try?"

Hanekawa asked with a strange look on his face, "You want to control my body?"

"No, no, I can't do that yet."

Nohara Lin quickly shook her head and said, "I was worried that something might happen when I used the Spiritual Transformation Technique for the first time. With you here, I can save him."

"I see."

Hanekawa nodded and said, "Okay, use it and I'll watch."

"Thank you."

Nohara Lin raised her hands and formed seals.

When the seal ended, her body trembled and she fell backwards.

Hanekawa quickly caught her.

A light fragrance fills the air.

He held her soft, slender waist to prevent her from falling to the ground, and then looked around.

Sure enough, the existence of the soul cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Hanekawa thought about it, helped Nohara Lin up a little, let her lean on his arms, and then instantly formed seals with his hands.

Eye of the heart!
He closed his eyes and put his arms around Nohara Lin again.

As his perception spread, he immediately noticed something strange.

About three meters to his left, there was a ball of special energy.

It's the fluctuation of chakra, but it's a little different.

Hanekawa thought of the Pure Land.

When a ninja dies, his soul will return to the Pure Land, but he will not be reincarnated.

In the original work, Impure World Reincarnation can summon the soul back to the Ninja World.

The Six Paths Sage can even directly perform the Pure Land Summoning and pull souls to the Ninja World.

At this moment, Hanekawa discovered that Nohara Lin's soul was drifting farther and farther away.

What's happening here?
At the same time, Hanekawa noticed that Nohara Rin's body became a little cold.

"Lin!"

Hanekawa shouted as he input chakra into her body.

After a few seconds, Nohara Lin suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for breath as if she was extremely tired.

"how is the situation?"

Hanekawa asked, breathing a sigh of relief.

"I felt a special call from somewhere and then I lost consciousness,"

Nohara Lin paused for a moment and said, "Then I heard your voice and canceled the ninjutsu in time."

call?

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows.

Could it be the Pure Land?
In the original work, only Kato Dan knows the art of spiritualization, but there is no description of the specific training details.

Now he died in the Second Ninja World War just like in the original work, so Nohara Rin can only figure it out on her own.

"let me check."

Hanekawa reached out his hand and placed it on her forehead.

Nohara Lin suddenly froze.

Only then did she realize where she was.

Being touched on the forehead was a small matter, but her whole body was in Hanekawa's arms.

Nohara Lin could clearly feel his warm embrace and the faint sound of his heartbeat.

The next second, her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nohara Lin felt dizzy and subconsciously grabbed Hanekawa's arm. For a moment, she didn't know how to react.

"There's nothing wrong with my body."

Hanekawa looked at her face which was like a red apple and said with a smile.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Nohara Lin didn't dare to look at him and said with her head buried.

But she got closer to Hanekawa, smelling his scent, and felt her body tingling.

"If you can overcome that special calling, you should be able to successfully perform the spirit transformation technique."

Hanekawa said thoughtfully.

He has never died, so it is not very clear, but it is a reasonable guess.

After Nohara Lin's soul left her body, she was probably judged to be dead, and thus received a call from the Pure Land.

"I...I understand..."

Nohara Lin subconsciously broke free from his arms, took a step back, her face flushed, and spoke in a very low voice.

"Again?"

Hanekawa smiled and asked.

"and many more!"

Nohara Lin quickly shook her head.

In her current state, she is bound to fail.

"Okay, then summarize it first."

Without saying anything else, Hanekawa turned around and continued to perform Earth Style: Clay Falling from the Sky.

Seeing this, Nohara Lin let out a breath.

She covered her face with her hands, feeling the heat.

It took her several minutes to recover.

Nohara Lin stood there, carefully recalling the experience of her soul leaving her body just now.

After a long time, she opened her eyes and looked at Hanekawa.

Her heartbeat quickened at the thought of falling into his arms again.

But for some reason, she had a vague sense of anticipation.

"that……"

Nohara Lin mustered up the courage to speak.

"Are you ready?"

Hanekawa asked with a smile on his face.

"Ah."

Nohara Lin made seals with both hands.

Just like before, the body was caught by Hanekawa.

Eye of the heart!
Hanekawa closed his eyes.

This time, Nohara Lin lasted longer, one minute longer than last time, before she lost consciousness.

"Thank you."

Nohara Lin said with a slightly red face.

"nothing."

Hanekawa blinked and said, "I'm always willing to help others."

"Ah."

Nohara Lin did not refute, and said with an embarrassed look, "Very gentle."

Hanekawa couldn't help feeling weird.

"Let's continue practicing."

Nohara Lin looked at him and said.

After two close encounters, she had gotten used to it a little.

What's more, this is just for the purpose of practicing the art of spiritualization.

"Ah."

Hanekawa nodded slightly and said.

Although it would delay his training, he is still a teammate after all.

Nohara Lin has learned the art of spiritualization, which can also play a great role in their ninja team.

Of course, Hanekawa was happy to have the little beauty in his arms.

Well, he never hides his true nature, that's just the nature of a man.

It was dusk.

"Thank you, Hanekawa."

Nohara Lin said with a grateful look on her face, "I'm sorry to have wasted your entire afternoon."

"fine."

Hanekawa shook his head and asked, "How do you feel?"

"I already have a basic understanding of the art of spiritualization." Nohara Lin smiled and said excitedly, "I feel like I'll be able to move on to the next stage soon."

"come on."

Hanekawa said with a smile on his face.

"Hanekawa!"

At this moment, a figure appeared between the two people.

It's sunset red.

She practiced illusion and water jutsu, so she trained by the small river behind Tsunade's house.

There is a certain distance between them.

"What are you talking about?"

Xihi Kurenai glanced around and asked curiously.

"Talk about the art of spiritual transformation."

Nohara Lin said with some guilt.

"I heard from Hanekawa that the spirit transformation technique can allow the soul to leave the body."

Xihihong suddenly became interested and asked, "Can you do it now?"

“Not very proficient yet.”

Nohara Lin shook her head and said, "I'll show you once I've mastered it."

"Then it's settled!"

Yuhi Kurenai walked up to her, took her hand, and said, "Tsunade-sensei is back, let's go eat."

"Ah."

Nohara Lin nodded and said.

It's August.

The climate in Konoha Village is even hotter.

However, as a ninja, you can use chakra to regulate yourself.

And since Hanekawa has the Yin Seal, there is even less to worry about.

Outside Tsunade's house.

Yuhi Kurenai looked at Nohara Lin with anticipation.

"Is it really okay?"

Nohara Lin asked, a little worried.

"fine!"

Xihihong said nonchalantly, "Come on!"

With the help of Hanekawa, Nohara Lin's spiritual transformation technique has made rapid progress in the past two months, and now it has finally reached the most critical stage.

That is to invade the spiritual world of the enemy or other people in order to achieve the effect of destroying the mind or controlling the body.

And Xi Ri Hong volunteered to be the first target of the spiritualization technique.

"Don't worry, the teacher is here."

Hanekawa said soothingly.

Just in case, he specifically called Tsunade.

"let's start."

Tsunade said calmly.

Nohara Lin nodded slightly and began to make seals.

The next second, her body froze in place.

Now that she is familiar with the spiritualization technique, she no longer needs Hanekawa to support her body.

In the air where the three people could not see, Nohara Lin's soul was glowing faintly.

She aimed at Xihi Hong and flew down.

In an instant, her vision changed and she appeared in a bizarre world.

"Amazingly, I saw you."

At this moment, Yuhi Kurenai's voice sounded, "But my body can no longer move."

"A body can only hold one soul. Now your body has two souls, and the body doesn't know who to listen to, so it's stuck."

Tsunade began to explain, "You must determine the winner in the spiritual world before you can regain control of your body."

"Come on then!"

Yuhi Hong is eager to try.

But she soon realized something was wrong.

Because she had no idea how to fight in the spiritual world, she was defeated in just a few seconds.

More than half of the entire spiritual world is controlled by Nohara Lin.

"Okay, that's it."

Tsunade warned, "If you keep fighting, you'll get hurt."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Lin immediately lifted the spiritualization technique.

Her soul returned to her body and she opened her eyes.

"Oh, this is such a terrible feeling."

Xihi Kurenai couldn't help but shudder and said.

She never wanted to experience it again.

"Sorry, Red."

Nohara Lin said embarrassedly.

"This has nothing to do with you."

Xihi Kurenai smiled and said, "When you have fully learned the art of spiritualization, our team will be much stronger."

"I'll learn it as soon as possible!"

Nohara Lin nodded vigorously.

The sound of breaking wind sounded.

"Tsunade-sama."

The ANBU ninja Haru appeared, "Hokage-sama asked you to go to the meeting room to attend the Jonin meeting."

"Jonin meeting?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Sand Village?"

"We just received information that the Sand Village has asked for help from the Hidden Leaf Village."

Qing didn't hide anything and said it directly.

Hanekawa, Yuhi Kurenai, and Nohara Lin looked at each other.

There is no doubt that war is coming and Konoha Village will have to join in the war.

"I see."

Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "Hanekawa, let's go."

"is teacher."

After Hanekawa responded, he said to Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Lin, "Wait for us to come back."

The two soon arrived at the conference room of the Hokage Building.

When Hanekawa walked into the door, he suddenly felt a slight shock in his heart.

He saw two unexpected figures, Orochimaru and Mitarashi Anko.

"Tsunade, long time no see."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and took the initiative to speak.

"You actually came to the meeting?"

Tsunade asked with a surprised look on her face.

"Come out and get some air."

Orochimaru said casually.

"is it?"

Tsunade didn't believe it and said with a smile, "It seems to be the old man's request."

Orochimaru didn't object.

He looked at Mitarashi Anko and Hanekawa who were chatting.

The two knew each other in Ninja School.

"Tsk."

Tsunade glanced at the door and said, "How dare this old fellow come here."

Danzo Shimura also noticed her and his face darkened, but he did not come up, but sat in his seat.

Although he is no longer the leader of the Root, his assistant the Hokage is still there, so he is still a high-ranking figure in Konoha.

Not long after, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the meeting room.

With him were two Hokage advisors, Mitokado En and Utane Koharu.

"Just yesterday, the Sand Village was ambushed by the Cloud Village and lost six or seven hundred ninjas."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly, "At present, the battle line of Sand Village is shrinking, and Kumo Village is chasing closely. They will reach the Land of Fire in a few days."

"We can't let the Hidden Cloud Village reach the Land of Fire!"

"We must send troops to stop them!"

"With the Sand Village here, Konoha Village can defeat Kumogakure Village!"

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and the jonins all looked solemn and began the discussion.

"good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand to stop everyone from speaking, and said, "Konoha Village will immediately organize 4,000 ninjas to set off, starting with..."

"I'll lead the team."

Orochimaru said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, looking surprised.

"Orochimaru is very experienced. With him leading the team, there will definitely be no problems."

Shimura Danzo echoed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows.

Are they getting mixed up again?

"That's fine."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't hesitate for too long before agreeing.

Hanekawa's heart skipped a beat.

There's a big problem!

If it was just Orochimaru, it wouldn't be a big deal, but with the addition of Danzo Shimura, wouldn't this be the same situation as in the original work?

It was also these two who competed with Namikaze Minato for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

Of course, now I'm with Tsunade.

Hanekawa thought to himself that this was troublesome.

If Orochimaru could successfully defeat the Hidden Cloud Village, it would be a great achievement.

He also miscalculated a little, after all, Minato Namikaze would steal the credit.

But the most important thing is to make sure Tsunade has contributions that are no less than theirs.

"Now let's talk about the second thing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not give anyone time to think, and said, "There has been some unusual movement in the Hidden Mist Village."

The jonin in the conference room immediately showed surprised expressions.

Does this mean we have to fight on two fronts?
