Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

Chapter 71 Someone else is just as unlucky as me

After running at full speed for ten hours, Uchiha Yatsushiro and the others finally took a breathless rest at Uchiha Ryo's signal.

Even Tian Da and the others tacitly refrained from asking why.

Just kidding. What if we run too slowly and Sarutobizo sends people for help? Whether to go back or not is a life-or-death dilemma.

The way to solve a problem is to avoid encountering one.

Uchiha Tetsuka sat at a distance, watching the Eighth Hokage sit alone with Uchiha Ryo, whispering to each other about something.

Uchiha Yatsuho said, "Ryo, being a five-attribute ninja is a good gimmick, and it will make it easier to get in touch with the higher-ups in Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru are both ninjas of the five elemental attributes.

Chief Fugaku wanted to extend his reach beyond the security headquarters and into the village.

I don't know if you can gain the trust of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.

Uchiha Ryo said, "Gaining Hiruzen Sarutobi's trust is almost impossible."

In other words, one must demonstrate sincerity bordering on betrayal of one's family in order to gain Hiruzen Sarutobi's approval.

""

Upon hearing this assessment, Uchiha Hachimoku was amazed by Uchiha Rin's precociousness.

What Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted was control, absolute control. If Hiruzen Sarutobi trusted the Uchiha clan, would the Uchiha clan still be the Uchiha clan?

Uchiha Ryo continued, "Gaining Orochimaru's short-term trust is possible."

Konoha is currently struggling to maintain two wars: the Battle of Waterfall and the Battle of Hot Springs, where they are fighting against Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja respectively.

Given such a difficult situation, Orochimaru hasn't come to the front lines. I think Orochimaru's mind isn't on carrying out missions for the village right now.

I heard from my teammate Mitarashi Anko that Orochimaru later became increasingly impatient with his subordinates and stopped putting in the effort to win them over.

Orochimaru's subordinates followed him, and the only principle between them was equal exchange.

Whoever can help Orochimaru better research ninjutsu and conduct experiments will gain Orochimaru's support and rewards.

If I can continue to provide value to Orochimaru, he will probably support me for a short period of time.

In the original story, Kabuto Yakushi also had his own purposes, but that did not affect Orochimaru's trust in him. Kabuto's medical ninjutsu was very useful to Orochimaru.

Uchiha Ryo will not delve into medical ninjutsu; he hopes to achieve something in ninjutsu and gain Orochimaru's favor.

The Eighth Hokage sighed and said, "Our Uchiha clan has a bad reputation in the village. After Lord Uchiha Kagami was killed, there was no longer any communication channel between us and the village's higher-ups."

Normally, people in higher positions like Mitokado Emi and Utatane Koharu wouldn't even give us a second glance.

The abnormal high-ranking officials, like Shimura Danzo, gave us a creepy look.

Orochimaru may not be a righteous path, but he is a promising avenue.

Ling, I'm sorry to have put you through this. Try to gain Orochimaru's trust.

"My most important task at this stage is to demonstrate my value to Orochimaru and survive on the front lines for the next five months."

Almost half a month has passed now, and I will be able to see Orochimaru again in four and a half months. Orochimaru will then assess my worth.

According to the original work, Orochimaru eventually focused on researching advanced ninjutsu such as forbidden soul techniques and sealing techniques.

Uchiha Ryo's resources were insufficient; he had not yet acquired forbidden techniques and sealing techniques.

For now, I'll focus on elemental ninjutsu, hoping to surprise Orochimaru with my research talent and gain his recognition.

Of course, we can't condone it too much; Orochimaru is a person who lusts after other people's bodies, and his reputation is terrible.

Back at the main camp, Hongdou finished writing the mission scroll and handed it in to the command tent.

That night, Jonin Shimura Tsukasa delivered two scrolls to Danzo.

Danzo looked down and saw one document: a summary of Mitarashi Anko's squad's mission in Zone 81, and the other a list of names for the roaming support squadron.

Shimura Tsuru explained, "Clan leader, the Mitarashi Anko squad has a unique competitive relationship with Shimura, and they are both Orochimaru's students now."

The Mitarashi Anko squad performed exceptionally well in the defense zone missions, and I recommend assigning them to this support squadron.

The area behind defense zones 16 to 20 is missing a patrol support squadron.

,

Danzo immediately remembered that, according to the Anbu's intelligence, there was an Iwa ninja assault team opposite the 16th to 20th defense zones.

If the Iwa ninja assault team makes a move, all the Konoha ninjas in that direction could die.

Danzo signed the mission scroll and asked, "Is our assault team ready?"

"Ready, after the defense zone squad and support squad are severely damaged, Shimura Doku will lead the assault team to destroy the Iwa ninja assault team in one fell swoop, complete an A-rank mission, and get a high-level mission for Shimura Doku."

,

Danzo nodded and said nothing more.

Shimura Satsuki took the scroll, stored it away, and prepared to issue the mission the next morning.

Mitarashi Anko and her two companions returned to the tent that had been assigned to their squad last time, only to find someone already inside. They looked at each other in surprise.

Nara Nagatoshi was leading a small team looking for tents when he saw the three of them and exclaimed in surprise, "You guys came back alive?"

Uchiha Ryo said, "What do you mean? Shouldn't we have come back alive?"

Nara Nagatoshi quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, there was a small mishap with my empirical data."

The probability of a graduate squad led by a Jonin being completely wiped out on their first frontline mission is 4%.

The probability of a graduate squad led by a Chunin being completely wiped out on their first frontline mission is 30%.

A team of all-genin graduates without a Jonin or Chunin leader has an 87% chance of being completely wiped out on their first frontline mission.

I didn't do anything wrong, and I hope you can understand. I just redistributed your tents according to the most probable events to save trouble.

"Wait half an hour, I'll arrange another tent for you right away."

Du Lejiong watched Nara Chōman leave, complaining, "This guy actually hoped we would die, that's too much! Uchiha Ryō, why didn't you yell at him?"

'

Uchiha Ryo said, "Right now, I just want to get a good night's sleep, a sleep without the cold wind blowing on me."

After finding a new tent, Uchiha Ryo and the other two had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Nara Nagatoshi woke the three of them up early.

"Mitarashi Anko's squad! Command has a new combat mission!"

The three of them couldn't complain about being assigned new tasks so hastily, and they went to the command tent together.

Team leader Hongdou went in to receive the mission and quickly came out with a mission scroll.

"This time, we followed Company Commander Yu-Zhen to provide mobile support to the rear of defense zones 16 to 20."

Uchiha Ryo yawned, "Can't I just rest one more night?"

Seeing that Tian Da was also looking for Captain Yu Zhen, and that Tian Da's squad had just returned the night before and was also going to be a patrol support squad, Uchiha Ryo and the other two felt a little better.

There are other people who are just as unlucky as you, but the pain caused by bad luck is much less.

It's embarrassing for one person to step in dog poop on the street, but if two people step in dog poop, both of them will feel better.

It's not their problem, it's just that the dog pooped in a really tricky way.
