69 Chapter 69

Hearing Oonoki's words, Shoudu stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This is really the best option.

If they launch a full-scale attack, Konoha will definitely send a massive force to fight them, but even if they don't make a move, Konoha won't dare send this part of the force to fight Suna.

Due to the failure at the very start, they were at a disadvantage, and given the likelihood of action from Kumo, watching from the outside is the best choice.

"The invasion Of the land of Fire should be suspended, in addition, information about shinobi Hatake Yeruashi should not be distributed, let Suna calmly start a war with Konoha."

The news of their defeat must not be allowed to affect Suna's actions.

If Suna decides that the situation is not very favorable and decides to retreat, Konoha will most likely not pursue them, there is no benefit to Willow.

Choodu said: "But according to the information, this son of White Fang is only ten years old, such strength at such a young age, he may become a huge problem in the future."

"He relied on the forbidden technique to get such power."

Oonoki folded his arms and rose into the air: "there Is no reason to worry, a powerful forbidden technique is not something that can be used just at will...if you weren't too focused on that forbidden technique, you wouldn't be like this right now."

According to the judgment of the surviving members of the advance group, the abilities of yeruashi that He showed on the battlefield are very different from the abilities of White Fang from the past, he was definitely in an abnormal state, most likely some forbidden technique was used.

There will inevitably be a price to pay for using forbidden techniques.

In his youth, Shoudu relied too much on the forbidden technique, which caused great damage to his life force, the chakra can hardly be maintained in its current state, its rise and development is out of the question.

Shinobi, too strongly relying on forbidden technique, it will be difficult to grow above a certain level, in the world of shinobi there are many such examples.

Although using such a powerful forbidden technique at such a young age seemed amazing, but Oonoki considered it nothing more than a stupid act, the smart choice is to contact forbidden techniques when it becomes too difficult to continue progressing.

At first glance, it seemed that the son of White Fang was a huge threat, but in reality this is nothing more than a superficial phenomenon.

Even if it turns out that there are no side effects, there is always a weak point, you just need to find it and come up with a way to counteract it....there is no forbidden technique without a weak point or side effect.

Shoudu shook his head: "But this is a problem anyway, the weakness of a good forbidden technique is not so easy to find..."

: "If we don't act, Konoha might send White Fang's son to the battlefield with Sunagakure, so let them search for weakness, it's best if they deal with him... "

" Hmm..."

Shoudu stroked his chin: "I Hope everything works out as we expect."

...

Konoha's Frontline camp.

Tent in the center of the camp.

Almost half a month has passed since the last battle, and no movement has been seen from Iwagakure.

"It seems Iwagakure is not going to act in the near future."

Orochimaru studied the results of the recent exploration conducted in the depths of the Grass Country, as well as the information provided by Konoha, fell into thought and said: "The third Tsuchikage must want to observe how our war with Suna will proceed and only then decide how to proceed."

Erase have a look at the map: "If Suna and Willow form an Alliance and launch a joint attack on us, Kiri will probably also violate the previous agreement, the situation may become dangerous

..."

: "But the old man Oonoki will not do it, he will first try to save power and will not be so easy to start a full-scale war, even if he really will make an Alliance with Sunay between them there will be no trust."

"Because of the inability to trust each other, the Great Villages are unable to form a strong Alliance and take our resource-rich lands of Fire Country..."

Erase nodded, hearing the words Orochimaru.

This is true.

Although the current Konoha is strong, but what if the other Great Villages launch a joint attack? Even considering its existence as a variable, this will be very difficult to handle.

But the four Great Villages can't trust each other, so in the event of an invasion of the land of Fire, they always reserve a significant part of their forces, being wary of other villages, this is one of the most important reasons that Konoha can successfully resist the onslaught of the other Great Villages

"Since there was no movement from Iwagakure, I want to leave the camp and go after the Kusanagi Blade...even if they decide to make a move, I'll probably be back in time."

It is best to pick up the Kusanagi Blade as early as possible, there is no guarantee that it will not fall into other hands during this chaotic war period.

"You can go. "

" Given your strength, I don't think there will be any problems...ke-ke-ke."

This is really a good time to pick up the Kusanagi Blade, according to his estimation there shouldn't be any movement from the Willow any time soon, besides, the location of the blade is not far from the Grass Country.

And last but not least, Orochimaru suggests that in the next few days Hiruzen send Erase on the battlefield with Sunay.

Since Willow is in no hurry to make a big move, he and Maito Dai are enough to handle most unforeseen situations, there is no need to keep Yeruashi here.

The best choice would be to send him to the battlefield with Suna, Hiruzen should think the same way.

Erase nodded and left the tent.

....

According to the information that Orochimaru provided, the Kusanagi Blade is located at the junction of the land of Grass and the land of Rain. There is a group formed from renegades and independent shinobi, it is disguised as an unremarkable small village and takes on a variety of shadow missions.

This group is small and extremely secretive, plus it is located on the border, so it did not attract much attention from Amegakure and Kusagakure.

While collecting information about the Kusanagi Blades, Orochimaru accidentally found out that the leader of this group has one of them.

In some days.

Erase arrived in this village.

No one is visible on the street, the doors of the houses are closed, it looks like an ordinary village experiencing fear of war.

Erase dressed in a trench coat and rice hat, entered the village and immediately felt that he was someone watching.

There was a clear feeling that this was not an ordinary person.

"...of course, there's something wrong here."
