Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Mito Kaden could only sigh silently at this. In recent years, Konoha has been quite strong, with new generation strongmen like Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Hatake Sakumo as well as masters of the major ninja clans. It is very difficult to manage, and then there is the root that is gaining momentum now. Many knowledgeable people thought this was not a good situation, but the Hokage didn't say anything and no one dared to say anything.

In the following time, Mito Kaden led Shirataki and his party to walk around the inside of the camp, and pointed out four vacant large tents, which were regarded as Shirataki's temporary quarters.

Shirataki didn't talk nonsense and picked the largest tent first. The other two ANBU directly under the Hokage also quickly settled in. The whole process was very calm and Shirataki didn't have to worry about it at all.

When the others saw that nothing happened, they dispersed as if nothing had happened, as if they had no interest in the three new companions. Of course, not everyone is as peaceful as they seem.

Just because of the few words Akimichi Takafou inadvertently revealed when reporting to Mito Monobu, these "big shots" with relatively flexible minds all understood how strong the new reinforcements were.

Before Orochimaru left, he took one last look at Shirataki's tent, with a hint of thinking on his face. "Shirataki? It seems that it is necessary to find a time to talk to him."

Late at night, one o'clock in the morning.

The moonlight was lowering, and the pleasant chirping of cicadas could be heard from time to time outside. In a simple tent somewhere. The fire crackled as the coals burned.

The dim yellow color barely drove away the dark space, reflecting a little bit of light, as well as the three figures sitting around the brazier.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, the three most outstanding young ninjas in Konoha, were gathering together to chat. It should have been time to rest at this time, but none of the three people present were sleepy.

When Tsunade thought about Shirataki's amazing strength, she was quite happy and a little discouraged at the same time. She wanted to talk to Shirataki full of things, but due to the influence of the skin Shirataki was wearing now, Tsunade had to find Orochimaru and Jiraiya. The two companions confided.

Jiraiya saw that Tsunade came back so much later than expected. Out of worry, he wanted to know the whole story of Tsunade's mission. Orochimaru wanted to collect as much information about Shirataki from Tsunade as possible to prepare for the next contact with him.

At this time, Tsunade had just finished telling the story of the mission, focusing on Shirataki's performance.

"So, why can the new guy occupy a tent by himself?" Jiraiya grinned and complained dissatisfied.

Orochimaru mocked expressionlessly, "If you can beat Hanzo, I think Elder Menyan will not mind any request you make."

"Isn't it just Hanzo..." Jiraiya crossed his arms, squinted his eyes slightly, and said with disdain in his tone: "What's so great, the three of us together may not be able to beat Hanzo."

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya fiercely and said angrily, "What are you talking about, you hot-blooded idiot? I fought Hanzo to a draw one-on-one, why do you have so little ambition?"

"I...don't I want to give you a chance to show off? Hahaha!" Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed.

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya calmly and thought to himself, "Even this guy Jiraiya clearly understands the gap between himself and Hanzo."

After Hatake Sakumo left the Rain Country, facing Hanzo's uninterrupted attacks, no one in Konoha could directly attack him. You can imagine the psychological shadow of all Konoha ninjas on Hanzo.

Tsunade saw Jiraiya's ridiculous appearance and her teeth itched with hatred. She was about to go up and punch the bastard, but unexpectedly, Orochimaru suddenly asked with a hint, "Tsunade, that ANBU, you are very Do you care about him?"

"Can you not care?" Tsunade sighed and said thoughtfully, "You don't know what the village usually says about the three of us."

"Now think about it, compared to this ANBU, we are just frogs in the well. Who are the leaders of the younger generation, the future star of Konoha, haha..."

"How is it comparable to that kind of monster? It's not like you don't know Hanzo's strength." Jiraiya said strangely, not understanding Tsunade's emotions at this time.

"This ANBU may just be an old senior we don't know about."

Jiraiya straightened his expression and said seriously to Tsunade, "Believe me, Tsunade, sooner or later we will reach that level. In my opinion, this ANBU was only born more than ten years earlier than us."

"If we were born in the same era as him, he would definitely not be better than us!" Jiraiya closed his eyes and patted his chest, saying confidently.

So do you really understand what I mean? Tsunade twitched the corner of her mouth, and veins appeared on her forehead. She suddenly didn't want to complain about Jiraiya's IQ. If it were just a comparison of strength, Tsunade would not go out of her way to say that the important thing is age! age! Although Shirataki is older than the three of them, he is only one year older. Was he born more than ten years too early? Why don't you go to heaven? Tsunade looked at Jiraiya pretending, sighed helplessly, and aimed a punch at the head!

After the bang, Jiraiya immediately screamed, "Wow! Tsunade, why did you hit me?"

"I do not want to talk!"

Jiraiya was puzzled and covered his head. He didn't know where he made Tsunade angry again.

Fortunately, there was an understanding person present. Seeing Tsunade beating Jiraiya crazily, Orochimaru's lips curved into a meaningful smile. I was a little unsure before, but now I am almost certain that this ANBU is Shirataki.

But why did Shirataki join ANBU? And the Hokage is directly under the ANBU? The most important thing is that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even tell him such a big thing. Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt a haze in his heart and sneered secretly.

This old guy thinks that by hiding Shirataki's identity, he can stop others from coveting Shirataki's combat power that is comparable to that of Hokage. He is really naive. Orochimaru was not aware of all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's intentions at all, he just thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen just wanted to rely on Shirataki's strength to consolidate his position.

"Tsunade, do you know the true identity of this ANBU?" Orochimaru smiled quizzically and began to deliberately induce Tsunade.

Didn't Sarutobi Hiruzen want to hide it? Orochimaru insisted on poking it out, not only to vent his anger, but also for the benefit of their "Hokage family".

Tsunade stopped what she was doing and asked in surprise, "Orochimaru, do you know again?" Orochimaru's face darkened, feeling that Tsunade's words seemed to be mocking him.

However, Orochimaru was a generous man and would not care about Tsunade, a tomboy's vulgar words. He slowly said, "Uzumaki Shirataki, I am 23 years old this year."

"How do you know? Did the teacher tell you?" Tsunade's pupils suddenly shrank and she cried out. Orochimaru's sensitivity far exceeded Tsunade's psychological expectations.

"Uzumaki Shirataki! How could it be him!" Jiraiya couldn't help but screamed after hearing this. Judging from his vision and knowledge, he could rival Sansho Hanzo at the age of twenty-three. He was not sure if Orochimaru's brain had a fever, and besides, this man was from the Uzumaki clan who was good at sealing techniques?

You know, even the three of them, who are regarded as the top geniuses in Konoha, are now twenty-two years old, but not to mention Hanzo, even some seniors in the village who have not reached the Kage level dare not Victory with words. Shirataki is only one year older than them. At this age, both his body and chakra are far from reaching their peak. How did he cultivate to this level of strength? Faced with something that was too contrary to common sense, Jiraiya said for a moment that he could not accept it, "This...how is this possible? Orochimaru, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya's idiot question and said directly to Tsunade, "I have a way to remember everyone's breath and taste, and your words seem to be very familiar with this ANBU, so I guess This person is Uzumaki Shirataki."

"Since that guy has been hiding his strength before, why did he become so high-profile after coming to the front line?" Jiraiya frowned and asked again.

Orochimaru snorted coldly and said disapprovingly, "Can you still hide your strength if you face Sansho Hanzo? You're probably not seeking death, right? And Shirataki may not have the intention to hide his strength, he just doesn't have the chance to take action. As far as I know , he has not gone out to do a few missions in these years."

Putting aside whether Jiraiya's IQ was high or not, seeing Orochimaru say this, Jiraiya calmed down and kept nodding his head as if he suddenly understood. After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly admitted that he was indeed interested in Shirataki. People know nothing. However, this did not dampen his enthusiasm, but instead made him more interested in Shirataki.

"Orochimaru!" Jiraiya stepped forward and patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, and said excitedly, "Let's go visit Shirataki together tomorrow. I'm very curious about that guy." Jiraiya clenched his fists tightly, his face Quite excited, "I want to compete with him. There is such a strong guy in our generation, I really care about him!"

Seeing that Jiraiya's reaction was not what he expected, Orochimaru couldn't help but smile and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time since the last time we said goodbye. I have no objection to your proposal."

The scene shifts to Yuyin Village.

In a small Japanese-style attic, a few candles cast a faint light on the wooden tatami. Sanshouyu Hanzo sat cross-legged behind a low table, slowly raised the wine bowl on the table and passed it to his mouth. Behind him, a figure kneeling at the door swayed slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but finally gave up.

"What's wrong? Zangyu." Hanzo asked without looking back after taking a sip. Hanzo's tone was very calm, as if it was no different from the past, but Zangyu knew very well that Hanzo today was very abnormal, because Hanzo usually didn't drink.

"Master Hanzo, today..." Zangyu hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Did something happen?"

Hanzo once again picked up the wine jug beside the table and filled it for himself. He did not answer Zangyu's doubts, but simply asked, "Zangyu, how many years have you followed me?"

Zangyu didn't understand what Hanzo meant, but he still answered honestly, "Strictly speaking, it should be fifteen years."

"Fifteen years..." Hanzo sighed, "Do you know how many years Xin Yu has been following me?"

Zang Yu vaguely grasped something, and replied in a slightly low tone: "Your Excellency Xin Yu, it should be more than twenty years old."

"More than twenty years..." Hanzo put down the wine bowl, raised his head and closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something.

After a while, Hanzo opened his eyes, and he couldn't hide the trace of deep fatigue. But since Hanzo's back was facing Zangyu, the latter did not notice anything strange about the former.

"I met Xin Yu's murderer today." Although Hanzo remained calm when he spoke, his raging murderous intent was still somewhat uncontrollable. "That's a young man, a very strong young man."
