Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 160 Dispute

Before Orochimaru could speak, Danzo continued, "This battle has clearly demonstrated the shortcomings in communication between our two teams. My original intention was to wait for you to hold off the Cloud Village army before choosing an opportunity to break into the battlefield from the other side, cut off their formation, and bring a great defeat to the Cloud Village."

If you can show a little weakness in this battle and stall for a little longer until my reinforcements arrive, then all of Konoha's forces in the Land of Hot Springs will be enough to inflict heavy casualties on Kumogakure.

Unfortunately, communication problems ultimately prevented them from achieving the desired results.

Danzo's tone was tinged with regret.

Orochimaru, however, sneered inwardly.

Danzo's appearance will only depend on when his side is about to collapse, allowing him to reap the benefits, gain the greatest merit, and acquire fame.

For Danzo, who coveted the Hokage position, whether he wanted to overthrow the Third Hokage or inherit the position, he had to acquire merits commensurate with the Hokage's status.

Because of the many dirty deeds he has done, he needs undeniable and absolute merit to overshadow those he has offended.

Danzo had his own calculations, and Orochimaru was not willing to sacrifice himself for others and become a tool for Danzo to gain benefits for himself.

The two teams have two leaders, each with their own agendas, and their hearts are not united. If they continue to be entangled like this and cannot unite their strength, even with their support, it will be difficult to defeat the Hidden Cloud Village.

We must take control of this team.

The same thought flashed through the minds of Orochimaru and Danzo at that moment.

However, they both knew that neither of them was the type to easily submit to others. Only if the Third Hokage personally went to the front lines could he directly suppress these two.

"The communication problem is actually easy to solve. Before I set off, I received instructions from the Third Generation Lord to be fully responsible for all strategic arrangements within the Land of Hot Springs."

As long as the people I brought are placed in suitable positions, it will be enough to ensure that orders are transmitted smoothly throughout the army, and such situations will naturally not occur again.

Orochimaru said to Danzo with a smile on his face.

His amazing performance in the Land of Rain has earned him the recognition of the Third Hokage and two other high-ranking officials, as well as a large number of Konoha ninjas. His judgment of the situation in the war and his exquisite and absolutely rational tactical arrangements are definitely first-class in the ninja world.

It was for this reason that the Third Hokage granted his beloved student extremely high wartime authority, hoping that he could play a greater role in this war, which was also somewhat intentional.

When he was in the Land of Hot Water, he was able to suppress Danzo. Now that he is gone, a capable, shrewd, and well-established person is needed to counterbalance Danzo.

This emphasis on balance was a consistent method used by the Third Hokage to maintain stability in all aspects.

For him, internal strife is always better than a situation where things get out of control and become unmanageable.

The Third Hokage wasn't very good at controlling people. After returning to the original timeline, he led Konoha to a point where many of its strong members were either dead or had left, leaving only the rising star Kakashi to hold the village together. However, he was always extremely perceptive in the power struggles of politics.

He always knew Danzo's ulterior motives. From beginning to end, he both gave Danzo power and suppressed him, like a dog with a collar around its neck. No matter how fierce it was, as long as the rope was pulled, it could only bite people in the direction of the rope, but could not bite its master.

Danzo, of course, was not willing to accept this.

"Your people are new here and not familiar enough with the situation in the Land of Hot Water. Let my men take them with them first."

"After all, I've been here for a year and a half, and I know this place best. I was also the commander-in-chief of the Cloud Village front appointed by the Third Hokage before his retreat. The people you brought should also follow me to play a better role."

Danzo turned his head around, his expression cold and stern.

He would never give in to Orochimaru, a junior.

If he can't even defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple, what does he have to compete with Hiruzen Sarutobi?

"No matter what, we are all doing this for Konoha. You and I in the Land of Hot Springs must work together to have enough strength to defeat Kumogakure."

I can send trusted confidants to your side to work for you, and even provide further support in other areas.

You can also send someone to me, such as your disciple Uchiha Gen, who is also Kagami's nephew, making him my junior. This relationship can serve as a bond between us.

"Let him come to my side. I fought alongside Jing for many years and know best how to make the best use of a Uchiha like him."

"Danzo! Gen is my disciple, he doesn't need your opinions."

Orochimaru's eyes suddenly turned cold, like a venomous snake coiling up, ready to strike.

They want to plant spies in my area and abduct my people?

"You don't need to react so strongly, Orochimaru."

I always act with discretion. If you are unwilling, we have many other ways to cooperate.

After seeing Orochimaru's reaction, Danzo remained silent for two seconds before answering.

"I know what you want most. I won't fight you for what's rightfully yours, and I won't refuse to cooperate with you. In the end, we will fight this battle with all our might to win."

But I hope you won't do anything unnecessary; otherwise, we'll just have to rely on our own abilities.

"I know what I'm doing. Now, let's talk about our battlefield arrangements in the Land of Hot Water. Our two teams have joined forces, and there's still a lot to do."

Orochimaru gave Danzo a deep look, and finally nodded slowly.

"Tell me all the information you know about the Land of Hot Springs. After this battle, I have a general idea of ​​what's going on, but I need your information to help me make a better strategic plan."

Gen Uchiha was unaware that the conversation between Orochimaru and Danzo would put him in an awkward situation.

He is currently leading the medical ninjas to treat the wounded ninjas from this battle.

Although the battle was short, it was very intense.

Konoha paid a relatively small price, but there were still some people injured, including some seriously.

Once the injured have been stabilized, these people are actually the best teaching material.

These medical ninjas should grow up as quickly as possible. Once the war escalates further and the number of wounded increases, there certainly won't be time to train high-level medical ninjas.
