Naruto: This Uchiha is a businessman Chapter 153

“You want me to be the supreme commander of this war?”

Orochimaru looked at Danzo with a strange expression. This old man was afraid that he would become the next Hokage, so he had poured too much dirty water on him. He didn’t expect that this time he would actually let him be the supreme commander. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was a (gōngláo) and prestige delivered right to his doorstep.

“That’s right, I’ve already agreed, Orochimaru, this war depends on you.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a complex expression, looking at his once most proud disciple. This disciple of his, whether in talent or brilliance, could be said to be the most perfect candidate for Hokage. It’s just… the mysteries he explored and the experiments he conducted were not something Konoha could allow.

Orochimaru actually didn’t want to accept this order, because the enemy the Allied Shinobi Forces would face was Uchiha Lulin.

He still couldn’t forget the pain of being crushed by Uchiha Lulin in the Uchiha clan compound last time. That was the first time he had lost so badly since his debut, even worse than when he first faced Hanzō the Salamander back then.

“I have something urgent that needs my attention recently, so I might not be able to participate in this war.”

Orochimaru’s answer surprised both people present. They didn’t believe Orochimaru didn’t understand that this war was a chance to gain (gōngláo) and prestige.

But Orochimaru still refused, which meant that Orochimaru seemed unwilling to handle things for Konoha anymore…

“Hiruzen, look at the good disciple you’ve taught!”

Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi dissatisfied and said:

“Gamblers gamble, peeping toms peep into women’s bathrooms, and now there’s one who’s unwilling to contribute to the village!”

He had finally snatched such a good opportunity from Hiruzen Sarutobi, but Orochimaru didn’t appreciate it.

Facing Danzo’s questioning, Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt a little embarrassed. He raised his pipe and fiercely tapped it twice on the table in front of him:

“Orochimaru, you must think this through. If you complete this mission, you will once again be admired by the villagers, just like before.”

“It’s fine, I don’t care anymore.”

Orochimaru opened his mouth, a slender tongue stretched out, licking his lips, and he said with a smile.

Hearing Orochimaru’s extremely rebellious words, veins bulged on Hiruzen Sarutobi’s forehead. He truly wanted to open up his disciple’s skull to see what exactly was inside his head.

“Orochimaru, are you also going to betray Konoha?!”

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi’s anger at his lack of drive, Danzo directly put a black pot on Orochimaru’s head. Having been a “Pot Shadow” for so many years, Danzo was extremely skilled at pinning blame.

“Heh heh, Elder Danzo is being a bit too serious.”

Facing the black pot, Orochimaru didn’t just accept it and put it on his head:

“Besides, in the village, I’m not the only one who can command the Konoha ninja forces, am I?”

Of course not. Jiraiya had also rushed back without stopping after hearing some rumors. He also had rich war experience, and having him serve as the supreme commander now was completely sufficient.

“Enough!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who didn’t want to continue arguing with his disciple, said in a deep voice:

“Orochimaru, you must participate in this war!”

He had to show his presence as a teacher and as Hokage. Didn’t he see the disdain in Danzo’s eyes beside him?

Facing the angry Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru could only sigh helplessly. He had no intention of completely defecting from Konoha yet, so he still had to obey orders.

However…

A hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He still didn’t know how to deal with Uchiha Lulin.

…

“Have those three still not surrendered?”

Lulin said. At this moment, he was in a factory in City Five. The workers in this factory, besides ordinary laborers, also included several special employees.

These employees were almost all ninjas Lulin had captured from other villages. The three people Lulin mentioned were Momochi Zabuza and two others from Kirigakure.

Although the strength of these three was average, their potential was indeed very strong.

“They haven’t revealed that intention yet.”

The factory manager stood beside Lulin, saying with a forced smile.

“That’s too much trouble.”

Lulin scratched his chin and said. He knew that these Kirigakure ninjas were all hard bones, and they were extremely loyal to their village. Without a good method, it would indeed be difficult to subdue them.

Unfortunately, the entire Land of Tea was now in turmoil, and Lulin didn’t have much time to personally persuade them. He could only wait until this war ended.

After thinking for a while, Lulin left directly. He had only come here to try his luck anyway. Since it didn’t work out, then so be it.

Upon arriving in the capital, Lulin immediately sought out Mingyan.

Then, with her help, Lulin traveled through a shuttle gate, moving through various places in the Land of Tea to make some arrangements.

He had already received news from Konoha. These Allied Shinobi Forces planned to directly confront and defeat him and the Land of Tea, so the forces would gather together when the time came.

Moreover, he already had some ideas he wanted to try.

“This will do. If we go any further, we might run into Konoha’s patrol units, and it would be difficult to set up anchor points.”

On the border of the Land of Fire, Lulin stood in a forest with Mingyan. He was unwilling to let the battlefield be in the Land of Tea, so the territory of the Land of Fire was his best choice.

Mingyan nodded, and at Lulin’s signal, she placed an anchor point on the trunk of a large tree.

…

“Finally, we can set off. Staying here for so long, constantly being watched by those Konoha guys, it’s really uncomfortable.”

One of the Kirigakure squad leaders said. Accustomed to the humid Kirigakure, even though the environment in the Land of Fire was relatively moist, he still felt uncomfortable staying there, and he could occasionally feel an undisguised probing.

Although the Daimyō of the Land of Water was taking the blame for them, it was clear that Konoha still wasn’t very at ease with their group.

However, just now, the Daimyō of various countries and the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages had finally agreed to advance directly towards the Land of Tea.

At the same time, the Daimyō of the Five Great Nations also each issued statements, declaring that the Daimyō of the Land of Tea and the nobles within the country had fallen victim to the dark hand of the Hidden Heaven Village led by Lulin.

This time, the five great nations were joining forces to rescue the Land of Tea from Uchiha Lulin’s grasp.

In an instant, the entire ninja world was shaken. This was the first time that a country had been targeted by a united front of the five most powerful nations in the ninja world. This was an unprecedented and astonishing event.
