Naruto Puppet Master

"Papapapapap?????" Orochimaru clapped his hands lightly and said: "Not bad, really good. He is indeed the deer who always serves as the brains among the pigs, deers and butterflies. What you said is very good."

"Aren't you worried at all, Orochimaru-sama?" Nara Shikaku, who was praised, did not feel happy. Instead, he frowned and asked:

This is really because Orochimaru has always been too calm, as if he is not worried at all about the preparations of Sand Ninja Village. Although everyone present has seen this, people familiar with Orochimaru know his character and believe him. So I was used to ignoring him, and only Nara Shikaku, who had been in close contact with Orochimaru for the first time, asked. Others who didn't know Orochimaru were not qualified to speak.

"Then there is nothing to worry about. No matter what the sand ninjas have prepared, under the current situation, we must take advantage of the traps ahead. We can only be cautious about unknown dangers and take advantage of them first."

"And as a ninja, especially a commander, you must maintain a calm mind and a calm heart at all times, because any emotion will affect your intelligent thinking, which is a very fatal behavior on the battlefield." Orochi Maru made a very rare suggestion:

"Thank you for your advice, sir." Nara Shikaku nodded and thanked:

"As ninjas from the same village, I always give advice to people with potential." Orochimaru licked his chin and said:

"Yes." Nara Shikaku felt a chill all over his body and immediately responded:

Seeing Orochimaru's performance, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and said happily: "Shikaku, you are very good! No wonder your clan leader recommended you to me, but you still need to learn more from your seniors. !”

"After all, Orochimaru and the others are powerful ninjas who have been baptized by war. Each of them has battlefield experience that you don't have." Looking around at the young faces, the Third Hokage continued: "You too, while the war has not yet begun, Let’s learn more from them and ask for advice if we have the opportunity on the road.”

"Yes, Lord Third Hokage." Namikaze Minato, Nara Shikaku and other new jounin responded in unison:

"Since Orochimaru, you have already guessed that there is an army hidden in Sand Ninja Village, do you have any information about them?" The Third Hokage asked again:

"No, Sarutobi-sensei, I did not detect any traces of large numbers of human hands."

"But because of this, I have a little guess." Orochimaru shook his head in denial at first, and then threw out a guess to the Third Hokage.

"What guess?" The Third Hokage frowned at first and then immediately asked:

"After the current Sand Ninja Village was restructured by the Fourth Kazekage Akasaka Invincible, there are three huge ninja groups in the Sand Ninja Village. They differentiated their training directions, and each of them joined together to respond. Almost any one left the Ninja School. All the ninjas will join in."

"They are respectively the martial arts training school that focuses on refining body martial arts and physical skills, the elemental training school that focuses on refining the Five Elements Ninjutsu, and the most mysterious and powerful puppet master faction."

"Currently, the power element faction and the martial arts faction are the most present on the battlefield. On the contrary, only a small number of the puppet master faction, which is the most powerful and influential in the Sand Ninja Village, appears on the Water Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom. "

"So I am [-]% sure that what we are going to face is the puppet master of Sand Ninja Village, which is the puppet army that was active on the battlefield during World War II, but they are definitely much stronger now than before." Orochimaru is confident. said:

"Puppet Master Troop, is this the old woman Chiyo? Leave her to me." As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Tsunade stood up and said, "Nothing about her poison can trouble me."

Seeing Tsunade volunteering, the satisfied Third Hokage was about to nod and say a few words. Orochimaru took the lead and said: "No, you can't do it this time just relying on Tsunade. You can't regard the current puppet master as the one from World War II." Look at it as a puppet master, and although your medical ninjutsu has improved a lot in the past two years, how can you be sure that your old rival Granny Chiyo has not improved."

"Regarding Orochimaru's objection, Tsunade did not get angry immediately, but frowned and said: "What's different about the Sand Ninja's puppet masters? Don't they all use poison now?What's so scary about a puppet without poison.And there is no way Chiyo old woman is stronger than me. "

"They have set a new standard for puppet masters. Only puppet masters who meet the new standards can be titled as puppet masters. Otherwise

They will all be relegated to the ranks of puppet master apprentices. Orochimaru thought of the information about the puppet master and said:

"What standard?" Tsunade asked:

Everyone present was also looking at Orochimaru, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Standard [-]: Can flexibly control five puppets to fight alone."

"What, this is impossible. How many people in Sand Ninja Village can pass such a request, I'm afraid it can only be counted on two hands at most!" As soon as Orochimaru spoke, Tsunade immediately retorted: "Sand Ninja Village is set up like this What’s the point of a request that most people will never be able to fulfill in their lifetimes?”

Others who had a general understanding of the puppet master also looked at Orochimaru in disbelief. You must know that during World War II, the puppet master who could control three battle puppets was already a ninja with Jonin strength. The new regulations require five. Wouldn't it be possible to pass only by becoming the most elite jounin puppet master?

"No, you don't know. Although this request was difficult at first, it seems that the fourth generation of Kazekage gave a secret technique to several elders of the puppet master's lineage, and then this secret technique became available to the puppet master. It spread through the veins, causing all the puppet masters in Sand Ninja Village to control puppets. The number of puppets they can control has increased sharply. Although there are still many ninjas in Sand Ninja Village who cannot meet this standard, there are still more puppet masters. It’s been done, basically any puppet master with elite chunin strength or above can do this.” Orochimaru said:

"What kind of secret technique is that? Can I get a copy?" The Third Hokage said with a frown on his face:

Hearing this, Orochimaru shook his head and said: "No, that kind of secret technique is passed down orally among the puppet masters of Sand Ninja Village, and there is almost no written text at all. Even if there is, it is just some personal training diaries. That’s all, I’ve got that kind of diary from a few humble puppet masters, but they don’t have any specific descriptions of their training.”

"Are there no prisoners?" The Third Hokage continued to ask:

Orochimaru shook his head and said: "It's useless. Since the Fourth Kazekage implemented the contribution point system in Sand Ninja Village, in order to prevent anyone from leaking secret information such as the ninjutsu he redeemed, all redemption information has been left With the strictest contract seal, no one can actively or passively leak information, and the success of the very effective contract seal has also made the Sand Ninja Village use that kind of contract for all important information and secrets, so it is impossible to leak information from It was learned from the mouths of the captives.”

I heard Orochimaru mention the confidentiality contract in Sand Ninja Village.The Third Hokage felt a dull pain in his teeth. You must know that after he had just heard that the Sand Ninja Village allowed anyone to redeem the confidential research materials, ninjutsu, and secret techniques in his ninja village, the top management of Konoha who got the news, whether they believed it or not, sent People went, and even the Third Hokage lined up a few confidants to give it a try. Anyway, Sand Ninja Village and Konoha were still in the honeymoon period at that time, and the Third Hokage and others were not worried about the safety of their men.

After several days of anxious waiting, the sent ninja finally sent back the news saying that it was true. The top leaders of every family and power group in Konoha (such as Danzo and other elders) who got the news were crazy with joy. The five major The ninjutsu library of one of the Ninja Village Sand Ninja Villages!What kind of temptation is that?

After receiving the news at that time, no one who could help was left behind. Those who had already sent people began to spend a lot of effort to support the ninjas who had been sent there from the beginning to complete the tasks assigned by the Sand Ninja Village. The contribution points obtained after the mission were exchanged for the unique ninjutsu or secret techniques of Sand Ninja Village.

Although the Sand Ninja Village increased the number of people from other villages, especially those from other Ninja Villages, by more than one or two times, it still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the major families and factions in Konoha, and it didn't take long for them to be exchanged by the major forces in Konoha. Some ninjutsu information, after receiving the news, Konoha's senior officials immediately ordered the first batch of ninjas who had obtained the ninjutsu to exchange for ninjutsu to return to the village, while the others continued to complete tasks for the Sand Ninja Village.

Five days later, the first batch of Konoha ninjas who received the ninjutsu redemption information rushed back to Konoha as quickly as possible, and were then taken away by major families and forces.

One month later, the enthusiasm of various families and forces in Konoha began to decline one after another. Three months later, even the most stubborn Danzo gave up. The contract seal was really too difficult to remove and could not be removed. Seal isolation means that the exchanged ninjutsu can only be practiced by the exchanger himself, and cannot be leaked in any other way. Even the peeping eyes of Baiyan will be affected by the contract seal and it will be difficult to see the clear information of the practitioner.

But in terms of cultivation, it’s almost impossible, let alone vague.

For this reason, the Third Hokage and others, who had worked for the Sand Ninja Village for several months in vain, were extremely aggrieved. (To be continued.)
