Chapter 181: Not Simple Mitarashi Red Bean
Chapter 181: Not Simple Mitarashi Red Bean
"kill!!"
The 49th year of Konoha, the Land of Rain.
The war entered a white-hot stage, and Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Iwagakure fought fiercely in the Land of Rain.
The battles in the River Country came to a halt, the Grass Country became the battlefield between the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja, and the Rain Country became the main battlefield for the three-way war.
Orochimaru was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the three parties, in charge of the overall situation.
In such a large battlefield, Orochimaru is the one with the most experience in commanding, and he is calm enough to fully shoulder this responsibility.
The Rain Country is once again in dire straits, in the physical sense of the word.
The Rain Ninjas almost couldn't get out of their shells, because on the battlefield, as long as the ninjas were not on their side, they would fight them as soon as they met, no one would care which side the Rain Ninjas were on.
Hanzo ordered all the Rain Ninjas to stay in the Rain Village. Unless necessary, the three ninjas would wreak havoc in the Rain Country but would not easily set foot in the Rain Village.
This is the foundation for maintaining order in the Rain Country. Once one of the parties is completely defeated, the Rain Village will naturally change and side with the winner. There is no need to waste firepower.
On the edge of the Rain Country, Orochimaru's command tent was located in a cave halfway up the mountain.
"Lord Orochimaru, the supplies have been delivered. Lord Hokage has ordered the two of us to remain here and to follow your orders for the time being."
There were two young men standing in front of Orochimaru.
A man dressed in Konoha Anbu uniform, with a Konoha forehead protector on his head, his iconic curly hedgehog hair and red eyes marked his identity, and it was none other than Uchiha Shisui.
The other one was wearing a large vest on his upper body, large shorts on his lower body, and a forehead protector tied diagonally on his arm. He put his head in his pocket and stood with his legs crossed, looking at the commander of the tent with his head on his neck. He was obviously a child, but he looked like a deadbeat. It was Sichuan-Tibet.
The war broke out in full swing, and Konoha was directly facing invasions from all directions. Its combat power was extremely tight, and even the Anbu were sent out to escort supplies.
Kawazo and Shisui are both young, one is a Chunin and the other is even a Genin.
However, both of them have the identity of Anbu, so they can take this mission to deliver supplies to the front battlefield. This is an A-level mission.
"Wow~ New supplies finally arrived! Let me see what they are!"
A little girl with short purple hair jumped out from behind Orochimaru. She had a hedgehog braid tied at the back of her head and looked like a little gangster.
Mitarashi red beans.
Although she and Gekko Hayate and others are all ninjas of the same class, Red Bean has been following Orochimaru since graduating from the Ninja Academy and did not participate in the Chunin Exam.
"red beans."
Orochimaru's voice was full of magnetism. He just said her name, and Hongdou immediately withdrew her hands that were about to take the sealing scroll with a wronged look.
She pouted and took two steps back.
"I'm just taking a look. I won't steal other people's delicious food, nor will I look for meatballs in the supplies..."
Orochimaru watched Anko retreat, then slowly turned his head and looked at the two young men in front of him.
How great! Two young ANBU with no obvious faction affiliation, one is the successor of the Uchiha clan's Will of Fire and a dovish commander without troops, and the other is an orphan of Shinzo, the inheritor of Wood Release and the contractor of Mr. Guzo.
Old man, what do you mean by sending these two people to me? Hehehe...
"The battle is still going on. You two can rest for a while in the camp. I will send someone to call you when I need you."
Before his desires were fully revealed, Orochimaru was very polite to both his elders and juniors, and his communication was well-organized.
"Understood, Lord Orochimaru."
Shisui nodded. Although it was only a two-person Anbu team, this team had a captain, and the captain was Uchiha Shisui.
To put it bluntly, Hiruzen was worried about Kawaizo's erratic behavior, so he made Shisui the captain to slightly restrain Kawaizo's behavior.
"Hongdou, take them around the camp and pick a place to stay."
Orochimaru looked at the depressed Red Bean and sent her out for a walk.
Although Hongdou has always been by her side, to be honest, Orochimaru is not good at coaxing children. Any child who follows him has to coax himself when he gets upset. After spending a long time with Orochimaru, Hongdou's ability to regulate her emotions has been quite well developed.
But occasionally, Orochimaru would take Red Bean's feelings into consideration a little, even if such behavior was usually quite subtle.
"You two, follow me."
Hongdou raised her head and took the lead out of the tent.
Even though Shisui and Chuanzo are older than Hongdou, she is the "big sister" here.
Shisui and Kawazo looked at each other and followed Anko.
Hongdou marched towards the camp like a robot, while Shisui and Kawatsugu followed silently behind her.
"Hey, you two, how are your strengths?"
Anko had heard of the twin stars of Konoha, Kawashimaru, but she didn't know the other one, Shisui, at all.
She thought that if the two of them were strong enough, they might be able to take her out for a walk.
"Our strength is relatively average. We are just newly promoted ANBU ninjas."
Shisui said very modestly.
"I'm different. Shisui is indeed ordinary. I'm pure trash. I got in by relying on connections~"
Chuan Zang took two quick steps and caught up with Hongdou.
He casually pulled out a scroll from his trouser pocket, unrolled it, and pulled out a bunch of meatballs from it.
"Besides, I'm a foodie, so I usually carry a lot of snacks with me~"
The meatball was shaking in Chuan Zang's hand, and Hongdou's eyes were following the meatball in circles in the air.
Life in the wartime camp was extremely hard for a child. Not only did she have nothing, but every day she heard either the wailing of the wounded or shouts of killing. Moreover, since she was only a Genin, and Orochimaru had ordered her not to leave the camp, she was no different from being imprisoned in a tent.
Forget meatballs. Before new supplies arrive, there aren't even enough ration pills.
"Foodie...foodie is good...I am a foodie too..."
Hongdou murmured as if she was under an illusion.
"Can you let me try this ball...? I'll help you test its flavor...and its poison~"
The big sister became a puppet in the hands of Sichuan and Tibet in an instant.
Shisui sighed in the back, feeling the weight of responsibility as captain.
Although Hiruzen had told him to pay attention to Kawanzo and not let him do anything out of line, what should he do about the current situation... This is a combat camp, and he is really not okay to "play" with a little girl like this.
"These are the three-color meatballs from the old shop at the entrance of Konoha Village. They taste quite authentic. I can give them to you, Red Bean, but you have to agree to one condition~"
"Hey, okay, whatever conditions you give me, I'll agree to them~"
Hongdou smiled foolishly and looked at Chuan Zang sincerely.
Sichuan-Tibet is a bit interesting.
As expected of a child brought up by Orochimaru, Hongdou may look innocent, but the cunning in her eyes could never escape his eyes.
Sichuan-Tibet, or ancient Tibet, is an old conspirator.
Even towards his own people, even children, he is wary. Mitarashi Anko is not as straightforward as his uncle.
