Naruto: This Uchiha is a businessman Chapter 157

“Sorry, it’s all for the village behind me, and as a ninja, I should prioritize completing the mission.”

Minato Namikaze sighed, then his eyes became incredibly firm. He was a person with a strong will, so he naturally wouldn’t be broken by a few words.

With that, Minato Namikaze’s body trembled, then he disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared beside Mingyan, holding an oversized Rasengan in his right hand and slamming it fiercely onto Susanoo’s skeleton.

The attacked Susanoo only had its skeleton shake, and then there was no other change. However, two trails of blood tears flowed from Mingyan’s eyes, who was encased within.

Evidently, the previous attack forced him to desperately pour out the power in his eyes to prevent Susanoo from collapsing.

He also wanted to fight with his main body, but unfortunately, his Mangekyo Sharingan hadn’t awakened any abilities that could be used in combat. Moreover, with Minato Namikaze’s speed, if Mingyan exposed his main body, he would be instantly killed by Minato Namikaze if he wasn’t careful.

Although he was no match for Minato Namikaze, the other party couldn’t defeat Mingyan in a short time. Mingyan felt it was worth it to be able to hold back one of their main forces.

On the other side, an explosion roared, and then from a cloud of smoke, a figure burst out. Kakashi Hatake, holding his ninja blade, rushed towards Orochimaru in the distance the moment he emerged from the smoke.

Orochimaru, realizing he was no match for Kakashi Hatake in close quarters, had solemn eyes. While rapidly forming hand signs, his body continuously flew backward.

“I shouldn’t have come here.”

Temporarily using large-scale ninjutsu to force Kakashi Hatake back, Orochimaru constantly scanned his surroundings, cursing inwardly.

He didn’t know why, but ever since the battle began, he had an unsettling feeling, always feeling like he had forgotten something.

Moreover, the Land of Tea, which he initially thought he could easily take over with a casual vacation stroll, suddenly had so many strong individuals emerge, which particularly annoyed him.

And this was with Lu Lin, who was behind the other party, not even having…

Orochimaru’s pupils suddenly contracted. That’s right, where was Uchiha Lu Lin? Damn it, how could he have forgotten him?!

Ignoring Kakashi Hatake, Orochimaru felt he had to leave here now. At worst, he just wouldn’t return to the village.

But just as he was about to turn around, a voice sounded in his ear:

“Orochimaru, I told you we’d meet again. So, what do you think?”

The seemingly smiling voice behind him made Orochimaru’s back instantly drenched. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he suddenly felt how dry his mouth was.

Just as he was about to put his hands together, the voice behind him sounded again:

“Don’t move, or I’m not sure what I might do.”

Orochimaru instantly froze in place, because a hand was already resting on his shoulder.

“Lu Lin-kun, hello.”

Although extremely nervous, Orochimaru, as one of the Sannin, still said with a smile, as if the arm on his shoulder wasn’t his.

“Tell me your answer, Orochimaru, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Lu Lin slowly walked to stand shoulder to shoulder with Orochimaru, and put his right arm around Orochimaru’s shoulder.

Orochimaru frowned, seeming very uncomfortable:

“Do I have another choice?”

“Of course.”

Lu Lin seemed to be thinking for Orochimaru:

“I’m a very democratic person, I don’t like dictatorship. My demands, if you can do them, do them. If you can’t, I’ll help you do them. How simple, how democratic.”

“Heh heh, very democratic indeed.”

Feeling the hand on his shoulder slowly applying pressure, Orochimaru said with a dry laugh:

“I agree to become Lu Lin-kun’s subordinate, how about that?”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

The hand on his shoulder moved away and patted Orochimaru’s back twice:

“Congratulations, Orochimaru-kun, for actively turning over a new leaf. To reward you, you can participate in the war on your first visit. This is a special reward that no citizen of the Land of Tea has ever received. How about it, am I good to you?”

Lu Lin pointed at the ninja allied forces below and said to Orochimaru with a smile. Orochimaru also smiled:

“Then I’m very grateful to Lu Lin-kun.”

He understood that Lu Lin was forcing him to actively attack the ninja allied forces. This way, even if he escaped the Land of Tea later, other great nations would no longer be able to accommodate him, and Konoha would not risk offending several other countries just for him.

“Go, Orochimaru-kun, I’m counting on you.”

Waving his hand at Orochimaru, Lu Lin’s figure once again disappeared into the battlefield, as if he had never appeared.

Looking at the spot where Lu Lin disappeared, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face, wondering what he was thinking.

He knew that Lu Lin was watching him from the shadows, because the other party had not hidden his gaze at all. Anyone with even a slightly sensitive perception could feel it. Lu Lin was clearly telling him that he was there watching, and it was up to him what to do.

After a long period of contemplation, Orochimaru walked towards the battlefield of the Hidden Mist Village.

On that battlefield, there weren’t many strong individuals, but the fighting was even more intense. Blood and corpses were everywhere, and the ninjas from both sides were fighting with bloodshot eyes.

Two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had already been seriously wounded and were currently retreating to the periphery, bandaging their wounds.

“Damn it, where did these guys come from? How could so many people suddenly appear in the Land of Tea?!”

Jinpachi Munashi gritted his teeth as he bandaged the wound on his shoulder, saying fiercely.

“Alright, stop complaining. Hurry up and get ready to go back out, they’re about to collapse.”

Raiga Kurosuki said silently. Their opponent had long changed from Kakashi Hatake to Might Duy. Duy, after being entangled by a group of muscular men from the Hidden Cloud Village for not long, personally broke through a gap.

Just as that group of people was about to follow, they were stopped by Shisui, who had arrived.

Then, as Duy was rescuing his comrades, guided by fate, he arrived at the Hidden Mist Village battlefield and successfully confronted the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

After recuperating with Lu Lin for so long, Duy not only completely healed the hidden injuries caused by his excessive training but also elevated his physique to a new level.

If it weren’t for his limited chakra reserves, Duy would even want to try cultivating the Lightning Release Armor form of the Hidden Cloud.

However, even without the Lightning Release Armor, Duy, with the Seventh Gate open, could still suppress the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Just as Raiga Kurosuki and Jinpachi Munashi were quickly bandaging themselves, sudden footsteps made both of them stop their movements simultaneously.

Although they were on the battlefield, the two injured individuals were extremely sensitive. Any slight movement nearby would be noticed by them immediately.

“Who is it?!”
