After finishing reading Kushina's reply, Yasu decided to take advantage of the good weather today to practice.
After he walked out of the room, the ninjas who saw him smile almost had their jaws drop.
Every time they saw Yasu, he had a cold indifferent face, as if everyone owed him money.
Now he was actually smiling like that, which made them have the illusion that he had human touch.
Especially Jiraiya, who originally wanted to check on Minato's training progress, also saw Yasu's smile and decisively gave up going to see his disciple, and ran to Orochimaru's room.
"Orochimaru, something big happened!"
At this time, Orochimaru was holding a ninjutsu scroll and reading it diligently.
Four people from the Nara clan came.
Everyone in the Nara clan has a very high IQ, and at the same time, their strategy and judgment are also quite outstanding.
Now that he doesn't need to handle everything personally, he also has a little free time to do some of his own things.
Hearing Jiraiya shouting loudly that something happened, Orochimaru squinted at Jiraiya: "What? Did the Cloud ninjas come?"
Jiraiya shook his head and said: "No, it's your disciple, Yasu, he actually smiled!"
Orochimaru frowned: "Is there anything strange about this? He usually smiles, is there any need to be so alarmed?"
Jiraiya said in disbelief: "Do you call a sneer a smile?"
But soon he digested it himself: "In your opinion, a sneer must be a smile, after all, your smile looks like a sneer, you master and apprentice are indeed carved out of the same mold."
Orochimaru refocused his attention on the ninjutsu scroll.
He could actually understand what Jiraiya meant.
The only person who could make his disciple show a genuine smile was her.
Orochimaru said without raising his head: "You came just in time, now that our camp has been built and the current situation is relatively stable, it's time to attack again and remove the surrounding Cloud ninja strongholds."
Seeing Orochimaru talking about serious business, Jiraiya also became serious: "With the support of these ninja clan ninjas, it is indeed time."
Orochimaru put away the ninjutsu scroll that he had just finished reading and sent someone to call Nara Shōji over.
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Nara Shōji discussed.
Currently, the entire camp has more than 100 ninjas.
After discussion, the three decided to continue to form teams of three to carry out the mission, with at least fifty ninjas remained in the camp.
When removing the strongholds, ninjas will be arranged according to the number of Cloud ninjas in the strongholds.
Jiraiya said at this time: "Orochimaru, are you going to let Yasu command those five people?"
Orochimaru nodded: "It's time."
Nara Shōji asked suspiciously: "Lord Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru, who are you talking about Yasu commanding?"
Yasu has already had leadership experience, so Nara Shōji felt it was normal for him to lead a three-person team.
However, Nara Shōji felt that the five people who Jiraiya specifically mentioned might have unusual identities.
Jiraiya said: "Orochimaru plans to let him take over and lead those five Uchiha chūnin, and Yasu has already agreed."
"What?"
Nara Shōji was shocked.
Letting Yasu, an abandoned descendant of the Uchiha clan, lead five ninjas of the Uchiha clan.
Is this really a good idea?
Nara Shōji euphemistically said: "Lord Orochimaru, those five Uchiha ninjas are directly led by another jōnin Uchiha."
Orochimaru squinted at Nara Shōji and asked: "So what?"
"Uh..."
Nara Shōji was speechless for a moment.
Of course, Orochimaru doesn't care.
Jiraiya smiled and asked: "Shōji, how did those six Uchiha perform when you were the acting commander before?"
Hearing this question, Nara Shōji's expression became a little strained.
Seeing this Jiraiya patted his shoulder: "There are only three of us here, you can say whatever you want."
Nara Shōji said helplessly: "Arrogant, self-willed, they look down on me, so they basically don't listen to my orders and like to go their own way."
Jiraiya snorted: "As expected, that's good, this is also Orochimaru's purpose in letting Yasu take over and lead them. You should have heard other ninjas talk about his performance during this period, right?"
Nara Shōji nodded: "I've heard that he has a good talent and is calm enough, and has the same iron-blooded methods as Lord Orochimaru. Does Lord Orochimaru want Yasu to restrain those Uchiha ninjas? But is it possible?"
In fact, when Jiraiya asked him how those Uchiha ninjas were performing, Nara Shōji had already guessed Orochimaru's purpose.
In his eyes, not to mention Yasu's prestige, Yasu is still young. Although he has made great contributions in the two battles, he actually doesn't have much prestige.
But the conflict between him and the Uchiha clan is obvious.
How could those arrogant and conceited Uchiha ninjas obey a 13 years old abandoned kid from their clan.
Orochimaru said in a cold voice: "With Yasu's strength and methods, he can completely suppress those Uchiha. On the battlefield, I need ninjas who completely obey orders, not ninjas who don't listen."
Seeing that Orochimaru had said so, Nara Shōji stopped talking.
Moreover, Nara Shōji was also faintly looking forward to how Yasu, who was highly regarded by Orochimaru, would suppress those Uchiha.
"Shōji, go gather the ninjas in the camp."
"Yes."
...
After all the ninjas in the camp were gathered, Orochimaru began to announce.
"First of all, I will arrange personnel transfers. Jiraiya and Nara Shōji are acting commanders. If I don't issue the highest order, then the orders of Jiraiya and Nara Shōji will have the highest priority!"
"Then, four people will be appointed as acting squad leaders: Nara Kensuke, Nara Shōgo, Hyūga Tsuneo, and Yamanaka Taiji.
The acting squad leaders will divide into teams of three to carry out tasks together.
A captain will be selected from the three-person team to carry out subsequent task handover."
"Finally, Uchiha Ryuhei, Uchiha Keiichi, Uchiha Kyōsuke, Uchiha Yorito, Uchiha Jin, you five will form a team, and the captain will be Yasu!"
As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, an eager voice immediately rang out.
"Lord Orochimaru, please wait a moment!"
The owner of this voice is Uchiha Kazuo, the jōnin of the Uchiha clan.
And the other Uchiha ninjas who had just been named by Orochimaru all looked flustered.
Orochimaru raised his eyes to look at Uchiha Kazuo: "What's the problem?"
Uchiha Kazuo bowed and said: "Lord Orochimaru, those five people are directly led by me, so I hope to continue leading them!"
