Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 174
Konohagakure.
During this period, many things happened in Konoha.
The aftermath of the Konoha attack had just passed, and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade hurriedly took the position. Before she even settled on Hokage’s position, an Anbu codenamed defected Orphan, catching her off guard, and it finally began to calm down.
However, news of Kusagakure’s destruction came. Tsunade had to urgently dispatch Anbu to the Land of Grass to investigate and dispatched a group of ninjas to confront the Iwa ninja.
Since the Land of Grass bordered Land of Fire, Konoha and Iwa were negotiating the possession of some strategic areas including bridges, and other critical areas. It even looks like a war may start at any time.
Tsunade has been so busy recently that even her new disciple Haruno Sakura has been pulled into her work.
Comparing these things, the news of Sasuke’s defection was equivalent to a wave in the ocean, and it dissipated as soon as it was raised.
Aside from Konoha’s Twelve Rookie and others who were still paying attention to Sasuke’s news, the other people in the village did not care for this traitor.
However, because of Naruto’s insistence, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade did not issue a wanted order for Sasuke. She also suggested to Naruto to wait in Konoha to destroy Orochimaru before taking Sasuke back.
However, she never expected that when Konoha got news about Sasuke again by accident, they discovered that Sasuke had joined the Akatsuki organization and was with Itachi.
This was kind of magical.
Fortunately, Jiraiya took Naruto away from Konoha to practice. So he didn’t hear the news yet.
Konoha barbecue restaurant.
Ino held the chopsticks in confusion, “Why is Sasuke with his brother? He should be his biggest enemy!”
“Who knows…”
Shikamaru sighed and shook his head.
There have been too many changes in Konoha recently. Shikamaru could only analyze the handful of clues he knew, and the Uchiha’s demise was a tricky situation.
It was a pity that Ino could not be told about the darkness.
The conversation between team 10 was not quiet. At the table near them, two people also heard the news.
They were Orochimaru and Uehara who sneaked into Konoha.
The former Konoha ninja had planted some spies in Konoha, so Orochimaru knew the Konoha barrier well. Because of this, the two of them could enter Konoha quietly.
After hearing the conversation between Shikamaru and Ino, Orochimaru’s expression was hideous. He suddenly stopped his chopsticks and looked at Uehara with a fierce face.
Unfortunately, there were too many people in the Konoha barbecue restaurant, so Orochimaru lowered his voice, “Naruku-kun! Sasuke thing has nothing to do with you, right?”
“Hehe, how could it have anything to do with me?”
Uehara chuckled and shook his head. He even raised his chopsticks and eagerly put a piece of grilled meat for Orochimaru, “Itachi-san said very strongly that Sasuke has to join the Akatsuki organization even if everyone else disliked Sasuke’s strength. And also, Itachi-san always brought Sasuke on his missions, saying that it was to use him to train his genjutsu skill…”
Uehara was telling the truth.
Even Itachi couldn’t find fault in it.
Of course, if Sasuke did not join Akatsuki. Uehara or Kisame would twist Sasuke’s head off.
Such things belong to Akatsuki’s organizational secrets, so there was no need to tell it to Orochimaru.
After the two had eaten, they rushed to the Konoha Forbidden Room. On the way, Orochimaru asked Uehara, “Naraku-kun, you already have a powerful summoned beast like the White Snake Sage. Why do you still need Rashomon’s summoning contract? “
“Hehe, the more I have, the better.”
Uehara chuckled and added, “Hasn’t Orochimaru-san mastered a lot of ninjutsu? Even now, you are still learning new ninjutsu!”
“This is for my dream.”
Orochimaru’s expression was serious.
Uehara smiled and said with a frivolous expression, “Similarly, my dream is to collect strange summoned beasts…”
Konoha Forbidden Room
No Anbu was guarding the forbidden room. Only a few ordinary ninjas were protecting it, so Uehara and Orochimaru sneaked in easily.
However, when Orochimaru opened the door, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of wine mixed with women’s fragrance from within.
This was the forbidden room!
How could there be the scent of wine and women?
Did that woman Tsunade drink too much last night and slept in the forbidden room?
Orochimaru’s expression changed. When he was about to close the door again, a white palm suddenly got stuck in the crack and opened it!
“Didn’t you tell me yesterday that you won’t bother me today?”
A woman with a beautiful face and plump body appeared from behind the door. Her voice was faintly dissatisfied, and there was a little sleepiness in it. Obviously, her attitude was a little tough, but she seemed a little soft because of sleepiness.
Uehara and Orochimaru looked at each other and then at the woman inside the room together. Both of them knew her.
Konoha Fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade.
Why did Tsunade appear in the forbidden room!
According to Orochimaru’s understanding of her, this woman shouldn’t be here no matter what happened. After all, Tsunade has always had no interest in the messy things in the Konoha’s Forbidden Room, and she only likes to study medical ninjutsu.
In fact, Orochimaru was to blame for this incident.
If it weren’t for Orochimaru mastering the Impure World Reincarnation and resurrecting the First and Second Hokage, Tsunade would not have the time to soak in the forbidden room to find a way to defeat the Impure World Reincarnation.
And it was also necessary to find a technique other than the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. After all, Tsunade had just become the Fifth Hokage, and if her life was sacrificed to capture Orochimaru again, Konoha might collapse.
So every night or in her free time, Tsunade would show up in the Konoha Forbidden Room with a bottle of wine in her arms to look for a way to beat the Impure World Reincarnation.
Suddenly seeing the two strange ninjas, Tsunade’s brows wrinkled, and her drunkenness suddenly dropped a bit. She asked in a cold voice, “Which team are you in!”
“Tsunade-sama.”
Orochimaru was worthy of being a master of role-playing. The next moment his face was solemn, and he replied in a deep fake voice, “We are here to inform you about the meeting with the Advisor!”
The current appearance of Orochimaru and Uehara was no different from Konoha’s regular ninja.
Tsunade raised her eyebrows and looked at the two suspiciously, suddenly her mouth hooked up, “I see, you two will clean up here.”
“Yes!”
Orochimaru bowed his head and agreed.
Uehara looked at Tsunade’s playful expression and sighed faintly, “Orochimaru-sama, Tsunade-sama has already seen through our disguise.”
The next moment, Uehara jumped back, and his face slowly changed to the appearance of Kabuto so others would know that he was just a small attendant of Orochimaru.
One was Orochimaru.
The other was a small attendant.
Who would Tsunade this woman choose to attack first?
He guessed that Tsunade would definitely entertain her old friend!
And sure enough, at the moment Orochimaru lowered his head, her knees slammed into Orochimaru’s face. That hit caused Orochimaru to fly out, and the mask on his face shattered!
After seeing Orochimaru’s face, Tsunade’s expression suddenly became fierce, “Orochimaru, you bastard! How dare you come to Konoha!”
“Why don’t I dare to come?”
Orochimaru slowly wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and looked at Tsunade with a light smile, “Your temper is still so poor, Tsunade…”
Orochimaru slowly spread out his palms and looked at the ugly expressions of his old friend. He continued with a smile, “Tsunade, we just sneaked into Konoha because we didn’t want to cause trouble. Do you really think that I won’t destroy Konoha a second time?”
Orochimaru’s expression instantly became savage and cruel, and he was full of confidence, “Since you have discovered me, then I will kill you directly and take away everything in the forbidden room!”
“Try me.”
Tsunade squeezed her fist hard.
“It’s a pity that your opponent is not me.”
Orochimaru smiled and shook his head, then turned to look at Uehara, “I will leave this woman to you, I will look for…”
Orochimaru’s voice suddenly stuck, and his whole body froze!
Wait, where was he?
In just a few words, Uehara was already gone?
Why did Uehara want to run? Although they were in Konoha, with the strength of the two of them, the possibility of successfully grabbing the scroll was high!
Orochimaru’s heart gradually sank.
When they rushed to Konoha, that bastard was still full of sincere cooperation, and Orochimaru even wondered if he would trust Uehara.
After all, Uehara’s strength was very strong, and he could help him do a lot of things privately and save him from being chased by the Akatsuki.
Before stealing Rashomon’s summoning contract, Orochimaru even wondered if Uehara would help him secretly attack Itachi!
It turns out that Orochimaru thought too much.
Orochimaru once again believed the wrong person. That little bastard Uehara dug a pit for him again.
Tsunade didn’t care so much and rushed in Orochimaru’s direction and shouted to call for support, “Transmit my order, get the elite team come quickly and surround Orochimaru. We absolutely can’t let him escape!”
Tsunade’s voice was thunderous, and soon the Konoha ninjas outside came to support her.
After seeing the support, Tsunade added, “Arrange other teams to search for Yakushi Kabuto’s whereabouts, don’t allow that spy to leave Konoha!”
