Chapter 474 I stayed up most of the night, no wonder I was beaten by my wife

I really don't understand the hard work of the elderly at all.

However, the old man Hei Jue could only hide his complaints in his heart and could not complain to anyone.

Only at the end of his mission would he choose to confess everything.

Before that, he was apparently a grandson.

In fact, Nagato, Obito, and even Uchiha Madara are all pawns in his hands.

You treat me like a grandson, but in fact you are a chess piece in my hands. It's that simple.

Black can't guarantee whether Obito's eyes can be found.

He could only try his best to find clues and relevant intelligence.

As for digging out Yan's secret, that's even more nonsense.

Hei Zetsu couldn't even get too close to Hiko, or there was a risk of being discovered.

Under Onoki's teeth-grinding anger, Konoha's elite successfully evacuated from the Kingdom of Earth and returned to the border camp along the route of the Kingdom of Rain.

There was a cheer in the camp, and Fugaku and Hizu who were sitting in the camp breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been on tenterhooks these days, fearing that bad news would come, but fortunately their inner worries did not come to pass.

The village's elite troops successfully withdrew.

In addition to negligible losses, Konoha has made a lot of money this time.

Not to mention the resources plundered from the Earth Kingdom, let's talk about Orochimaru. This guy is not ordinary ruthless.

He robbed a large amount of money from the Kingdom of Earth and came back.

Although he could only get a part of this money, it was still a considerable asset for him who was very poor.

At least enough to squander his research laboratory for a long time.

Recently, Orochimaru has been engaged in some weird research, and even Yan doesn't know it. Fortunately, he sticks to Yan's bottom line.

If you stay in the village, just be honest.

If you want to do something messy, then leave Konoha, leave the Country of Fire, and go outside to mess around.

When you get outside, I won't care about you, Orochimaru, if you make a fuss.

But if you are messing around in Konoha, in the Land of Fire, it just won't work.

Adhere to this bottom line, you are good, I am good, everyone is good, if not, you will be rewarded.

"This mission went more smoothly than expected, and the damage to the village was very small."

Fugaku looked a little happy, and even Hizu, who was used to keeping a straight face, had a faint smile on his face.

"..."

I really don’t know why you are happy. Isn’t this an inevitable result?

Orochimaru drank his tea speechlessly, not bothering to answer the question.

He, Fugaku and Hizu were not from the same group, and there was no talk of going together.

"yes."

With a faint smile on his face, Rizu echoed:

"The counterattack imagined by the Iwa Ninja Village did not appear. Blind harassment tactics and small-scale combat will only increase their losses."

"That's because the main force of Iwa Ninja Village was dragged on the battlefield of Takino Country, and coupled with Hiko's intimidation, Iwa Ninja Village did not launch a big counterattack."

Orochimaru, who really couldn't bear to listen, spoke. He put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head speechlessly:

“Never underestimate Ohnoki, he is scary, far scarier than we imagined.

Iwa Ninja Village is not a village that is afraid of sacrifice. If the main force hadn't been held back, and if Yan hadn't been too intimidating, the village would have suffered huge losses. "

Orochimaru, who had personally experienced the Third Ninja War, knew very well how difficult Onoki was and how terrifying the war potential of Iwa Ninja Village was.

It's a pity that Fugaku and Nizu don't know much about it because they don't have personal experience.

During the Third Ninja War, Hizu didn't even leave the village.

Fugaku actually took the Uchiha ninjas to participate in the war with the Mist Ninja Village.

The difference is that the wars between Konoha and Mist Ninja Village are basically small-scale battles.

And the Iwa Ninja Village... completely demonstrated the terror of the Ninja Legion.

The scene where dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of Earth Release ninjas gather together to perform joint Earth Release Ninjutsu is terrifying.

Don't look at Konoha's records. The two sides are fighting back and forth, and there is no way to deal with each other.

In fact, the real situation at that time was that Konoha was suppressed and beaten by the Iwa Ninja Village.

Not much room to fight back.

We can only use various means to constantly deal with it, relying on people to pile up, and drag down the pace of the war.

Then Minato rose, and Konoha finally had time and opportunity to breathe.

Coupled with the death of the Third Raikage, the Cloud Ninja Village fell into a rage, and war could start at any time.

Faced with the threat from the Cloud Ninja Village, Onoki had to end the war with Konoha in a hurry.

"In short, you don't want to see the ninja army from Iwa Ninja Village dispatched."

Orochimaru showed a half-smiling expression, which made Fugaku and Hizu unsure of Orochimaru's intention. Was he reminding them or teasing them?

Orochimaru's words were like a basin of cold water, dousing Hizu and Fugaku's excitement and happiness.

What made the two of them speechless and uncomfortable was that Orochimaru poured cold water on them, and after they calmed down, he threw out a sweet date.

He smiled, got up and walked outside.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Konoha now is not comparable to what it was during the Third Ninja War.

Not to mention anything else, Yanjun's existence is enough to intimidate the Iwa Ninja Village, making the Iwa Ninja Village dare not easily launch a large-scale war. "

"Sharingan...terrible power."

Recalling the Susanoo that looked like a mountain in the dark night, burning with golden flames, Orochimaru admitted that his heart was moved.

He couldn't help but think of the pie he had drawn for him before.

According to the pie drawn by Hiko, Sasuke will reach this level sooner or later and have the same power as Hiko.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

"Is this guy okay?"

Fugaku and Hizu looked at each other, and they both felt that Orochimaru was getting more and more nervous, talking to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us, just send a message to the village."

The two of them don't need to worry too much about who Orochimaru has become. Instead of caring about Orochimaru's personal situation, they should do their job well.

Now that the elite troops have returned to the camp, they still need to wait for arrangements from the village.

At night, Yan handed the processed documents and scrolls to Quan, who had already begun to doze off. He could finally get off work.

"Quan, wait for us..."

Yan was still planning to wait for Izumi to go home and get into bed, but the sound of unfriendly footsteps gradually approached.

Judging from the rhythm of these footsteps, the visitor seemed to be in a hurry.

Shikaku, is this guy still up in the middle of the night?

No wonder your wife always has a bad temper and likes to beat you up whenever anything happens. It’s no wonder your wife is happy about your bad behavior of not coming home most of the night.

Silently complaining in his heart, Yan, who had already stood up, could only sit back and wait for Shikaku's arrival.

A few seconds later, the door to the Hokage's office opened.

An impatient Shikaku ran in without even knocking on the door.

"My lord, the news from the frontline camp is that the elite troops have successfully returned to the camp. The two clan leaders, Uchiha and Hinata, have sent a message and want to know what the village's next plan is."

Although he worked overtime until midnight, Shikaku was very energetic.

Because there is good news coming from the front camp.

"Wouldn't my sister-in-law blame you for not going back to rest at such a late hour?"

Yan took the scroll from Shikaku and started teasing him.

"???"

That's what you said.

Lu Jiu was stunned and straightened his back stiffly:

"How could your sister-in-law blame me? I'm doing this for official reasons. Besides, at home, I'll stick to my word!"

"Yes, yes, you are the most awesome, I almost believe you."

Yan couldn't help but be amused.

If Nara Shikaku wasn't often beaten by his wife, he would have almost believed this nonsense.

"Pfft"

After sorting the documents and scrolls, Izumi couldn't help but laugh.

She also knew very well Lu Jiu's family status at home, so Lu Jiu's tough statement successfully made her laugh.

"What, my words can't be trusted?"

When trouble comes, no matter what the family status is, at least you have to do enough to save face.

No, Shikaku is still very stubborn.

Yan opened the scroll with a smile, looked at the contents of the scroll, and said:

"That's just right. Someone suggested before that we could help you find another wife. I also have a suitable candidate here. How about I help you pass on the news and we can find a time to settle the matter?"
