I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

The simplest task after the war is to deal with the enemy's corpse. Just find a pit blown up by the detonating talisman, throw the corpse into it, light a fire and burn it.

This can not only reduce the size of the corpse, but also avoid the possibility of the corpse spreading diseases.

The Kirigakure ninja left nearly five hundred corpses behind, which was a lot, but it was very easy to deal with.

The real difficulty is what to do with the Tiger Force's own victims and wounded?

The bodies of the victims were easy to dispose of. One seal scroll was used per person. Although it was a bit expensive, but the Uchiha family could afford it, this was how they had always been disposed of.

But they still have 14 seriously injured people. If some of the injured are not handled well or not handled in time, it may lead to disability or even increase the number of deaths.

No one in the Tiger Force wants to see such a result, especially Yuu Uchiha.

Fortunately, Uchiha Yuu does not need to handle this matter alone. He also has the Konoha Ninja Army and the commander-in-chief of the Ninja Army, Orochimaru-sama.

Orochimaru is the top military administrator of Konoha in the entire Yunokuni region. The material and human resources he has in his hands are richer than Uchiha Yu.

In the current situation, both wings of Kubota Village have been penetrated by Kirigakure Village. Konoha's main force has actually retreated to the second line, and the hillside defended by the Tiger Force has become a huge protrusion. But as long as this protrusion is not lost, the Kirigakure Ninja Army will be cut in half. When threatened by the flanks, they will not be able to attack the second line of defense in a large scale. There will be no pressure on the main force of the Konoha Ninja Army.

In view of the importance of Kubota Village and the combat performance of the Tiger Force, investing a little force and resources here can produce ten to fifteen times benefits. Orochimaru will definitely do his best to help.

After Uchiha Yu reported the battle information to him and asked for help, only eighteen minutes later, a team of Konoha ninjas arrived with sufficient supplies and medicines.

With professional medical ninjas and professional medical equipment and medicines, the affairs of the wounded will naturally be left to these professionals.

Uchiha Yu knew very well that professional matters should be left to professionals, but at this time he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​learning medical ninjutsu. After all, it is better to have a father than a mother.

What's more, he has a good foundation. He can treat and nurse the problems that arise during the Ninja Cats' practice of immortal arts. He can figure out the progress of the route by himself. He has a deep understanding of the bodies of people and Ninja Cats. He is proficient in meridians, natural energy and checking. After gaining knowledge about carats, supplementing medical knowledge and medical ninja, you can become a good medical ninja.

But Uchiha Yu didn't say anything now. He just watched the treatment scene for a while, confirmed that all the wounded were not life-threatening, and left.

There are a lot of things that he needs to deal with now, and time is very tight.

What's more, Orochimaru actually followed. He was looking around the ruins of Kubota Village. He even got into the cave dug by Uchiha Yuu and the others without any care, and carefully inspected the structure of the cave and the condition of damage during the battle.

Orochimaru even asked the ninjas of the Tiger Force to learn as much as possible about the battle and details.

He was extremely curious about the two battles of the Tiger Force.

The first game was nothing more than that. 100 elite Uchiha ninjas completely defeated 300 miscellaneous Kirigakure ninjas. It was so normal. It meant zero casualties which is a bit interesting.

At this time, Orochimaru no longer had the slightest doubt about the elite identity of the Tiger Force.

He just suspected who was so stupid as to send such an elite force as cannon fodder, which made him suspicious and frightened.

To be honest, Orochimaru didn't know that these Uchiha genin were so powerful at first. If he hadn't discovered the abnormality of Uchiha Yuu and paid more attention to this Uchiha, he noticed the difference between these genin. Such a powerful ninja force will be missed.

If the Tiger Force is missed, the Kubota Salient will not be protected. If this salient is protected, the second line may not be protected either. He may be in Tangquan City on the third line now, worrying about the issue of the Fire Nation's homeland defense.

But now, Orochimaru stood on the ruins of Kubota Village, thinking about the issue of counterattack time. The gap was so big that he couldn't help but sigh.

I was so lucky. I had an idea a few hours before the battle, coupled with my lucky and firm decision, I got the biggest reward a day later.

It's really one step from heaven to one step from hell.

Orochimaru understood almost everything, and happened to see Uchiha Yu arranging various affairs and directing the tiger troops to make various war preparations.

He walked over and listened silently, and found that most of Uchiha Yu's arrangements were fortifications and equipment to deal with large floods. After thinking for a while, Orochimaru understood Uchiha Yu's thinking and couldn't help but nod his head.

That's right, when the 500-strong ninja force of the Kaguya clan failed and was even nearly wiped out, there was no ninja force left in the Kirigakure ninja army that could attack.

This is not an unthinkable problem, but is caused by the special structure of the Kirigakure ninja army. When the strength of the Konoha ninja exceeds the limit that the three giants of the Blood Succession Limit can handle alone, the only way for the Kirigakure ninja to respond is to join the entire army.

After all, no one wants to attack such a fierce enemy alone. If the main force of his family is killed, the decline of the entire family will be inevitable, and it will even become the fat meat in the mouths of other ninjas.

For example, the first wave of unlucky ones who fell in Kubota Village, and now the remaining ninjas among their main force, have disappeared silently, along with the supplies and equipment they carried.

Therefore, once we encounter a difficult situation, we can only fight together. Even if we die, we must die together, so that everyone can feel at ease.

The problem is that there are less than a hundred enemies left. Kubota Village is large for three to five hundred people, but thousands of ninja troops cannot rush up together. Even if everyone attacks together, there must be a sequence.

Judging from the ferocity of that group of Uchiha ninjas in Konoha, the first three waves were definitely for nothing, but wouldn't the ones behind them be a big advantage?

What? Form a mixed force from each family, and then all the families rush together every time?

Just ask yourself, are you afraid that there is an enemy behind you when you charge? There is an enemy in front of you, and his broad back is waving in front of you. Can you resist pulling out the kunai from your ninja bag and inserting it?

The only way for Kirigakure Village at this time is probably for the high-level clans to join forces and drive out the lower-level ninjas and civilian ninjas to serve as cannon fodder.

In order to make up for the difference in combat power, flooding Kubota Village became a natural prerequisite.

Therefore, Uchiha Yuu was very far-sighted in preparing various flood prevention fortifications and equipment.

Orochimaru could tell that the Konoha ninjas who were traveling with him were baffled by this. The Uchiha genin also couldn't understand Yu's decision, but they were extremely convinced and resolutely carried out the order.

Just like Kaguya Kaguya, whose bones are still burning, Orochimaru also wants such subordinates.

The golden snake eyes glanced back and forth, and he quickly discovered the key point. These Uchiha genin... are all very young, and they are all children whom Orochimaru is not familiar with. That is to say, they are from the bottom of Uchiha and have not been there before. valued.

[So it turns out that this is a combination of contrasting treatment and young age. 】

[No wonder the teacher likes going to ninja schools so much and likes students who are from civilian backgrounds. The reason is the same. 】

[However, the children chosen by the teacher as civilian ninjas are obviously not as good as the lower-class Uchiha chosen by Yuu Uchiha. In the final analysis, the family of limited-blooded ninjas has greater potential and higher cultivation value. 】

[So, it would be better to be an orphan from a bloodline limited family with no heir...]

From then on, there was a deep imprint in Orochimaru's mind, and the future orphanage Oto Ninja Village was derived from this deep imprint.

After Uchiha Yuu finished handling the urgent matters at hand, Orochimaru called him: "Uchiha Yuu, chunin, come with me for a walk. I have some questions to ask you."

Uchiha Yu's heart skipped a beat. He could tell that Orochimaru was in a good mood, but there was something wrong with the curiosity and excitement flashing in his snake eyes.

But as the supreme commander of the entire battlefield, Orochimaru is Uchiha Yu's immediate boss, and his orders cannot be refused.

So Uchiha Yu could only bow his head obediently and replied: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

After obediently following Orochimaru for a short distance, Uchiha Yu was shocked by Orochimaru's first words.

"I know everything about you coming to Tang Country and being ambushed by 15 enemies."

Orochimaru's words were full of joking, and he even said with a smile: "Killing 15 enemies in one breath is worthy of being a rising star of the Uchiha family, but what I am most curious about is, how did you do it to defeat them?" What about the one whose myocardium crushes my own heart?"

Orochimaru instantly felt a faint but extremely sharp murderous aura, which suddenly penetrated his body. His heart shrank from the irritation, and an abnormal blood-red color instantly appeared on his cheeks, and then quickly returned. 's disappeared.

Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't felt this level of murderous aura for a long time. It was like the tip of a knife pressing against his heart. The feeling of danger was really exciting.

While he was secretly frightened, he quickly smiled and softened: "Don't worry, I burned all these investigation reports, along with the corpses."

In an instant, the murderous aura disappeared.

Uchiha Yu acted as if nothing happened and said with a slightly grateful tone: "Thank you so much, Orochimaru-sama."

"If it hadn't been for your help, I would have been in big trouble."

After hearing Uchiha Yu's words, even though he knew that this boy was acting, Orochimaru's heart suddenly relaxed, and the hand seals in his sleeves were slowly released.

[What a dangerous guy. How could such a smiling tiger appear in the Uchiha family? He is even more dangerous than the Second Hokage. 】

Although Orochimaru has his own confidence and is still a solid shadow-level ninja, things are unpredictable and powerful ninjas have their own cards, so he has to be careful. At the age of 18, Uchiha Yuu should not be at the level of the Kage, but no one can say whether he has the means to kill the Kage.

In any case, to make Orochimaru feel threatened, this kid must have a lot of things hidden. Not to mention the chuunin vest on Uchiha Yuu, even the jounin can never reflect his true strength.

Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his cheek, thinking about a question: Should he be accepted as a disciple?

Jiraiya has Namikaze Minato as his disciple, and he will show off to him every time they meet, making people angry, and even bullies his disciple Naoki to death without knowing why.

Should I accept a more ruthless disciple and shut up Jiraiya?

This idea was immediately dismissed by Orochimaru himself.

It's too late, Uchiha Yu is already 18 years old, a proper adult.

Orochimaru accepted him as his disciple, which was not only embarrassing for both parties, but also did not teach him well at all.

Besides, Uchiha Yuu's strength exceeds the average level of Jonin, and he must have formed his own unique fighting style. What can Orochimaru teach him?

Ninjas never have to learn everything. Someone like the Third Hokage knows everything, but it will consume too much time and energy and slow down the growth of strength.

Especially after the tactical system matures, hastily inserting new forces will not only fail to improve the strength, but may even cause a decline in strength.

The peak period of a ninja lasts only ten years, and after the age of 45, it will inevitably decline. There is no time to break things and then stand up.

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Yu seriously, and regretfully gave up on this new idea. He will still be my opponent in the future.

He walked to a pile of building ruins and looked at the ruins of Kubota Village, looking at the pile of bone spur cages that were still burning and collapsing from time to time.

Orochimaru said with emotion: "This place is indeed the focus of the battlefield. The battle is very fierce. Uchiha Yu, can you and your Tiger Troops still hold on?"

Uchiha Yu didn't know Orochimaru's mental journey, so he replied calmly: "I can still persist."

Orochimaru smiled: "Well, I saw that you have made preparations for large floods, which is very good, but it is not enough to offset the environmental advantages of the Kirigakure ninjas."

"That's enough, I just need to hold on for half an hour to an hour."

"Oh? Are there any preparations that I didn't see?"

"...It does exist."

"Okay, okay, you actually kept it a secret from me. Forget it, I will see what you have prepared for the Kirigakure ninja during the battle."

"Thank you for your understanding. In fact, it is not a secret from Orochimaru-sama. It is really too troublesome to show it."

"Lord Orochimaru, Kubota Village has formed a salient. No matter how powerful the Tiger Force is, it is impossible to defeat the tens of thousands of Kirigakure Ninja Army alone."

Uchiha Yu stared closely at Orochimaru's snake eyes and asked bluntly: "How long are we going to persist?"

Orochimaru shook his head and gave an ambiguous answer: "I'm not sure either."

"The strength of Konoha Village is one day inferior to that of the enemy in the Country of Yu, so it is necessary to defend the Kubota Salient for one day until the power of the Konoha Ninja Army overwhelms the Kirigakure Ninja Army."

Uchiha Yu frowned and said: "Lord Orochimaru, this is putting all the pressure of Kirigakure ninjas on us, less than a hundred people. This pressure is really too much."

"Hahaha, the pressure is indeed great, but the support I will give you will also be great, and I will definitely give you my best."

Orochimaru asked with a smile: "Tell me, what do you want? Ninja, power, money, weapons, if I have it, you can take it."

He even looked at Uchiha Yuu with a smile and said meaningfully: "Even if you want me to take the lead, there is no problem."

"You're kidding me."

Uchiha Yu's face twitched. When Orochimaru said this, his original intention was to test whether he could tolerate him observing him at close range, but his answer was to say please do whatever you want.

but!

He is a time traveler, and he is fully aware that the snake's metamorphosis has continued to deepen, and it has become sweet or salty, male or female, and can be controlled or controlled, and even gave birth to a child with himself.

With this perverted information base, everyone will think about it in all directions.

As the conversation between Orochimaru and Uchiha Yu came to an end, he asked one last question: "Do you need reinforcements?"

"Of course it would be nice to have reinforcements, but the Tiger Force is well-organized. If untrained ninjas are rashly added, the combat effectiveness will be reduced."

Uchiha Yuu thought for a while and added: "If there are ninjas from the Uchiha family, and they are young ninjas under the age of eighteen, I want them."

Orochimaru understood what Uchiha Yu meant. He nodded and said, "I will go back and check the list. If there are any qualified ninjas, I will send them to you."

"However, you don't have to have high hopes. The two conditions combined are still very harsh."

"I understand. If there are no suitable reinforcements, please give me sufficient supplies, food, shurikens, kunai and detonating talismans, especially the detonating talismans. I want ten thousand."

Orochimaru thought there was something wrong with his ears and asked, "How much?"

Uchiha Yu said calmly: "10,000."

"No!" Orochimaru categorically denied, with an inexplicable discouragement in his voice. He had just said that he would give him whatever he wanted, but...

But he really can't give it, ten thousand.

"There's no problem with food, shurikens, and kunai, but the detonating charm... no!"

"No way, Lord Orochimaru, the dignified Leaf Village doesn't even have a reserve of detonating talismans?"

"Hehehe, think about the description of the quantity in your request."

"There are so many Konoha ninjas in the Kingdom of Yu. Who wouldn't want a few detonating charms? I can get you 1,000 of them, but what you want is one! Ten thousand! One! Don't even think about it."

"Tsk, Konoha Village is such a waste. Sister Nan was able to save 60 million detonating charms in more than ten years." (Muttering in a low voice)

Orochimaru's voice of complaint could be clearly heard. He grinned and asked, "Only 1,000 pieces. Do you want it?"

"want!"

Although 1,000 cards can't offset his consumption in one battle, of course he has to ask for it. It's all money, and it can more or less make up for some of the losses.

The two then exchanged views on the quantities of other supplies, and soon reached an agreement.

Most importantly, two conditions for the completion of the Tiger Force's defense mission were determined.

By persisting until Orochimaru is fully prepared to launch a counterattack against the Kirigakure ninjas, or by holding on for another thirty days without losing ground, the Tiger Force has completed its defense mission.

This is very important.

It is enough to determine the life or death of the Tiger Troops.
