Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 66: The Pot Shadow's Blame! Orochimaru's Concern!

He didn't know that he had attracted the attention of Uchiha Madara.

However, Luo Fu and others were keenly aware that the enemies they would face next would not only increase in number but also become stronger.

In fact, during the war, the level of water content among the Jonins was very high.

For example, Kakashi became a jonin at a young age, but in fact, his missions were mostly due to the help of Minato Namikaze.

Of course, it is undeniable that Kakashi himself is indeed very talented and capable, but his strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious. Under normal circumstances, Kakashi's mission experience, which allows him to become a special jonin, is already a relaxed condition.

But in the current war, he was promoted to Jonin as an exception.

This is the rule in Konoha Village, and it is actually the same in other ninja villages.

For example, before, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Iwagakure who were responsible for ambushing Luofu and others seemed to have several jonins, but there was only one who could truly be called a qualified jonin.

But what happened next was different.

In the jungle, shouts and screams were heard intermittently.

A ray of starlight emerged, and as the starlight passed by, the only elite jonin in the team was chopped into hundreds of pieces by Luofu's chakra knife in an instant.

Having a knife in hand is completely different from using your palm instead of a knife.

In the world of Under One Person, Zhang Luofu used his palm instead of a knife, and even though he had no intention of killing the opponent, he still made Wang Bing look like he was cut into pieces.

At this moment, Uchiha Luofu was determined to kill.

Breathing of the Stars·Type 7·Yaoguang Pojun, wherever it passes, it is almost impossible for a few ninjas to survive.

After all, in such a short period of time, he chopped down two small cycles in a row, with a terrifying speed of 316 cuts, which was comparable to that of a crusher.

Even though he was an elite jonin, he couldn't even block the first blow from Luofu's fast sword, which was as sharp as a bug, and was chopped into pieces.

Luo Fu stood there with his sword put away, looking around.

As the starlight reappeared, he rushed towards the next target again.

Soon, this time the opponent died at Luofu's hands without any ability to fight back.

The battle came to an end completely.

"Captain Luofu, the enemy was completely wiped out, but four of our people died." The Uchiha Jonin, who had previously had an argument with Uchiha Shisui, had a look of fatigue between his brows after the killing.

"We..." Seeing Luo Fu's expressionless face, Uchiha Jonin hesitated for a moment and said, "Should we change the route and go to the Land of Grass? If we continue like this, I'm worried that the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Mist Village will double their manpower to ambush us. We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. We have to be on guard against sneak attacks and ambushes at all times, but we will definitely lose people again!!"

"Shisui, what do you think?" Luo Fu looked at Uchiha Shisui with interest.

At this moment, all the Uchiha ninjas who had heard the conversation between Luofu and the Uchiha Jonin looked at Uchiha Shisui.

Along the way, although Luofu was present, his unparalleled swordsmanship was like chopping melons and vegetables, causing horrific casualties to those who ambushed him in the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village.

But Luofu’s strength is one thing, and the enemy’s ambush and sneak attack are another.

If you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?

A normal person who is always in a state of nervous tension will eventually collapse, let alone the Uchiha clan whose mental state is already very abnormal.

The reason why we have been able to hold on until now is thanks to Luofu's increasingly strong strength and dominance on the battlefield.

After defeating the enemy's ambushes time and time again, no matter whether the Uchiha ninja who was supporting the battlefield in the Land of Grass was a hard-line hawk, a weak dove, or a centrist, they all inevitably developed an unprecedented yearning for Luofu.

To some extent, if it is because of Konoha's propaganda that the ignored ninjas regard the rising Golden Flash as an idol, then these Uchiha ninjas have already begun to regard Luofu as a belief.

These Uchiha ninjas would not blame Luofu for seeking Shisui's opinion, but they would vent their growing resentment on Shisui and the village.

For a moment, facing Luofu's questioning, Uchiha Shisui even began to feel a little scalp-tingling.

But even so, his inner belief in the village and the Will of Fire still overwhelmed everything. He took a deep breath and said, "Captain Luofu, the village has ordered us to follow the previous plan and go to the battlefield of the Grass Kingdom to provide support."

"Okay." Luo Fu agreed immediately.

With different thoughts in mind, the Uchiha ninjas continued to move towards the Land of Grass along their previous route.

But they didn't know that because White Zetsu Afei leaked Luofu's information, in the subsequent ambushes and counterattacks, Luofu's reputation became more and more famous, and he even had the intention of competing with Namikaze Minato.

"Starlight Fangs?" On the battlefield of the Grass Kingdom.

Upon seeing the news from the base camp, Namikaze Minato's sunny and handsome face immediately revealed a look of surprise, and his tone could not hide his happiness for Luofu. He said: "Luofu has finally found his own way. I didn't expect that as a member of the Uchiha clan, he would have a talent for swordsmanship."

While being surprised for Luofu, Minato Namikaze didn't realize at all that compared to his excitement and happiness, it seemed that the village was not optimistic about this.

In this Ninja World War, even though Konoha was at a disadvantage, the Hokage and Konoha F4 still chose to use the war to weaken the Uchiha clan.

But who could have thought that under such calculations, the Uchiha clan would actually give birth to a wonder like Luofu, who clearly had some powerful bloodline limits that were unrivaled in the entire ninja world, but had found his own way in swordsmanship.

Even just during the march, he relied on his terrifying sword skills to kill all the ambushed and sneak-attacked enemies. He earned the title of Starlight Fang.

After being happy for a while about Luofu's outburst, Namikaze Minato said: "With Luofu's appearance, the pressure on our side will be much less. With their reinforcements, we can even take back the Kannabi Bridge instead of blowing it up."

After a slight pause, Namikaze Minato said, "Shikaku, Ding Zuo, I hope you two can go and greet Luo Fu. After all, he is also our classmate."

Ino-Shika-cho is a die-hard fan of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

They were naturally aware that the Third Hokage and elders such as Danzo had been secretly carrying out plans to weaken the Uchiha clan.

The appearance of Luofu completely destroyed the plans of the Third Hokage and others.

It is believable that the Third Hokage and others will not let it go so easily.

"Starlight Fang? Humph, a damned Uchiha is worthy of such an honor?"

Danzo, who had a gloomy face and was blind in one eye, came to the Hokage's office on crutches as soon as he received the news from the front line.

"Huruzen, we can't let Uchiha Rafu accumulate reputation anymore." Danzo said impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking a pipe, said solemnly, "We originally thought that after leaking the information about the Uchiha reinforcements, they would die in the ambush of the Kirigakure and Iwagakure villages, but who would have thought that the once ordinary Uchiha Luofu would actually display such a terrifying swordsmanship."

After a slight pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said, "His reputation is based on his strength."

Throwing a piece of intelligence to Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Take a look. This is the latest intelligence from the front. Some ninjas who participated in the Second Ninja World War even suspect that this Uchiha Rafu has the strength of the White Fang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a title so similar to Konoha White Fang!"

"Then let him die!" Danzo said grimly, "Huruzen, a white fang of the Hatake clan can be easily broken, but a fang of the Uchiha clan will be a huge threat to us. This guy must not be left alive. He must die in this ninja world war."

"What do you want to do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo and asked.

With a flash of excitement in his eyes, Danzo said: "Send him back and let him enter my roots directly. Once he enters the roots, he will be our best weapon. Moreover, doing so will also cut off this guy from continuing to accumulate reputation and even enhance the reputation of the Uchiha in the village."

"Don't even think about it." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo with disdain, and casually handed over another piece of information, saying, "Take another look at this piece of information, it comes from Shisui."

After being patient and reading this information, Danzo Shimura suddenly became furious.

"What an evil Uchiha! He has no feelings for the village and he disdains the will of fire of the first generation. This guy cannot be kept." Shimura Danzo's tone was decisive.

"Yes, he is a huge trouble, but it is difficult for us to deal with him now." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo.

Now Danzo Shimura never mentioned anything about transferring Luofu back and joining the Root.

Are you kidding? Before seeing Uchiha Shisui's report, Danzo Shimura would have boasted that he could still use the village and the Will of Fire to morally blackmail Luofu into accepting the ban of the Tongue Eradication and becoming a weapon and tool of the Root.

But after seeing Shisui's understanding of Luofu, Danzo Shimura even wished that he would never let Luofu return to Konoha Village.

After thinking about it carefully, Danzo Shimura was surprised to find that Uchiha Rofu was simply an outlier in the village.

Although he was born into the Uchiha clan, he was an only child and had no brothers or sisters. His parents died on the battlefield of the Second Ninja World War.

In the Uchiha clan, he is the kind of person who can be lost in a crowd of people. He is mediocre, just like the synonym of Uchiha Luofu.

If this mediocre ninja was not from the Uchiha clan, neither Shimura Danzo nor Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, would care about him. But Luofu was from the Uchiha clan, and he had no friends in the Uchiha clan or in the ninja school.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo would not dare to easily control this guy who is independent of the world, free from any ties, and yet disdains the village and the will of fire.

The reason is simple, Luofu is strong enough.

If Luofu was weaker, after noticing his condition, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have found an opportunity to sacrifice him on the battlefield.

However, its own strength has become Luofu's biggest trump card.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo did not dare to act rashly.

"Huruzen, I may have a way to deal with him." Danzo is indeed worthy of being the Nabekage.

He's not very strong, and his brain isn't that great either, but when it comes to conspiracy and intrigue, he always comes up with some crooked tricks.

"Let's talk. There are only two of us here now. This Luofu is almost becoming a serious concern for you and me." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked worried.

"My Root learned a piece of news not long ago about the Sand Village and the Mist Village." Shimura Danzo smiled with disdain and said, "As the party that started the Third Ninja World War, the Sand Village can no longer hold on and has even taken the initiative to ask for peace with the Mist Village. In order to end the war, they even decided to sacrifice that Burning Release Hagura!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo Shimura in confusion, but he was a little confused. They were obviously discussing the matter against Luofu, so why did Danzo mention the Sand Village and the Mist Village inexplicably?
"The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village both want Burning Release Yegura to die." Shimura Danzo said, "And we can't let Luofu continue to live, so we will take the initiative to send him out and let him fight to the death with Burning Release Yegura. If Burning Release Yegura wins, then the rest will have nothing to do with us. If Uchiha Luofu wins, then his life can be used to continue trading with the Hidden Mist Village."

Looking at Shimura Danzo strangely, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure this plan can really be realized?"

"Of course." Shimura Danzo said confidently: "You can leave it to me with confidence. My roots have long been connected with the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village."

After looking at Danzo deeply, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Okay, go and make the arrangements. When everything is ready, I will assign a solo mission to Uchiha Rofu directly as the Hokage."

"Wait for my good news." Shimura Danzo seemed to really enjoy doing such shameful things.

Even during this process, he did not ask for any benefits from Sarutobi Hiruzen. After getting Sarutobi Hiruzen's permission, he hurriedly left the Hokage office building.

On the battlefield of the ninja world.

Along with Luofu's group, the Uchiha ninjas who were transferred from the main battlefield between the Water Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom to the battlefield in the Grass Kingdom arrived.

Uchiha Rafu's title of Star Fang also spread throughout the ninja world.

In fact, many ninja villages have begun to compare Luofu with the original Konoha White Fang.

And those small ninja villages even began to announce that if ninjas on missions outside encountered Uchiha Rafu during the mission, they would not be considered failures if they gave up the mission.

It is just a small ninja village with insufficient prestige. At most, it is just icing on the cake for the name of Luofu Starlight Fang.

If there were big ninja villages, such as the Iwagakure Village, Sand Village, Mist Village and Cloud Village of the five major countries, that issued the same order, Luofu would truly become a powerful ninja of great importance.

When Luofu and others arrived, the Konoha Ninja Army base in the Land of Grass was in complete chaos.

Those civilian ninjas had no idea about the dirty dealings between the top brass and the Uchiha.

After all, in their eyes, Luofu, who has killed countless ninjas along the way, is the well-deserved hero of Konoha.

The one who came to greet Luofu was none other than the battlefield commander, Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, who has not yet become completely obsessed with the Sharingan, is quite curious about Luofu, a ninja with a bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, who has achieved the Starlight Fang in swordsmanship.

However, when he saw Luofu for the first time, Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed an interested look.

If at the beginning he was simply curious about what an Uchiha ninja who became a master of swordsmanship would look like, then the moment he saw Luofu, Orochimaru was certain of one thing.

That is, Uchiha Luofu is the same kind of person as him.

In fact, in comparison, Uchiha Luofu is more terrifying than him.

He was just pursuing eternal life, but Uchiha Luofu no longer considered himself a human being in his true state of mind.

It may not be quite appropriate to say this. After all, in order to achieve eternal life, Orochimaru dared to use any bizarre surgical methods on himself.

But in the final analysis, Orochimaru still has humanity in his heart.

But Luofu was different. The moment he saw him, Orochimaru's only feeling was that the other party was not human. This inhumanity was not in terms of body or strength, but in terms of state of mind.

Be it his colleagues in Konoha or the villagers in the village, this guy has a condescending attitude towards them. In his heart, he is like a high and mighty god or devil, but he cannot empathize with humans.

Even though he knew about Uchiha's sick mind, Orochimaru still felt a strong curiosity about Luofu's mentality, which no longer considered himself a human being, or did not consider others as human beings.

Somehow, Orochimaru had a feeling that the key to his pursuit of eternal life seemed to be found in Luofu.

After being shocked, Orochimaru quickly revealed a chilling smile, came to Luofu, and said: "I can't believe that a ninja from the Uchiha clan would shock the entire ninja world with his swordsmanship."

When Luofu, Orochimaru and others completed their meeting.

Among the crowd of Konoha ninjas.

An Uchiha boy wearing goggles said proudly to the white-haired man with a black veil covering his face beside him, "Did you see that? This is the senior of my Uchiha clan, Starlight Fang. He will be the new White Fang of Konoha, as powerful as Senior White Fang."

Looking at Luo Fu with complicated eyes, Hatake Kakashi hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes at Uchiha Obito, and said, "Idiot, no matter how powerful this Uchiha clan elder is, what does it have to do with you, a loser? You are just a loser who hasn't even opened your Sharingan."

"You..." Uchiha Obito suddenly became furious. He pointed at Hatake Kakashi angrily and said, "Kakashi, I tell you, I will definitely open the Sharingan."

"Yes, yes." Kakashi nodded perfunctorily and said, "Let's go. We still need to rest. Next, Minato-sensei will take us to participate in the battle of Kannabi Bridge."

"Hey, Kakashi, what do you mean? Don't you believe me? I tell you, not only will I open the Sharingan, I will even become a great Hokage like the Sandaime."

Following behind Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito kept on explaining his ideals to his companion.

And beside them, a girl with oil paint on her cheeks followed behind them with a gentle smile on her face.

The meeting and handover of the support team went smoothly.

After all, with the emergence of Luofu, if the Uchiha clan's ninjas died, it would be fine. If they didn't die, Konoha would lose the F4. For a while, they could only allow the other party to gain huge reputation and could not suppress them openly.

Of course not. Not being able to suppress it is one thing, but for some other rewards, it’s okay to suppress it.

And now, these ninjas of the Uchiha clan are facing such a situation.

The exposure of their route resulted in them encountering countless ambushes along the way.

Among them were the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Iwagakure Village, and even the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village, not to mention some hired wandering ninjas and ninjas from small ninja villages.

If these ambushes and counterattacks were also taken into account, the support team led by Luo Fu would at least receive several more S-level mission rewards per person this time.

But after arriving at the Konoha's ninja army base, neither Orochimaru, the commander, nor Nara Shikaku and others who were responsible for counting the military merits, even mentioned the issue of mission rewards.

The Uchiha clan was furious about this, but they were too embarrassed to make a scene because even the contribution of the captain Luofu was not counted. Of course, Shisui's firefighter-like consolation was indispensable.

On the second day after arriving at the Grass Country Ninja Army Base, Luofu received a puzzling solo mission.

Single-player missions, whether during war or at any other time, are quite special.

Under normal circumstances, the missions of ninjas are often divided into teams of three. In the early stages, they must be accompanied by guiding jonin. If there are not enough guiding jonin during a war, the captain of the genin may even be at the level of a chunin.

As for single-player missions, even for jonin, let alone ordinary chunins, they are rarely qualified to take them. Generally speaking, single-player missions are reserved for elite jonin.

Now that Luofu has been given the opportunity to carry out a solo mission, it means that his status in the village has, to some extent, been raised to the level of an elite jonin. All that is lacking now is a legitimate recognition and promotion.

But during the war, everything was kept simple.

The moment he saw his mission, Luo Fu couldn't help but smile playfully.

Looking at Orochimaru meaningfully, Luo Fu said, "Lord Orochimaru, are you sure that my mission is to go to the Land of Water and kill the Scorch Release Ye Cang who was sent by the Sand Village to negotiate peace with the Kirigakure?"

"I'm not sure." Orochimaru smiled similar to Luofu and said, "Luofu-kun, you are a very special existence. This specialness is not your bloodline limit, nor your powerful swordsmanship that you learned from who knows where, but your heart. I can't feel that you regard your companions in Konoha and the villagers in the village as your own kind in your heart."

"What does Lord Orochimaru mean by this?" Luo Fu looked confused.
