Seeing that Tsunete was about to wake up, the three of them were overjoyed. After a while, Okami opened his eyes. He raised his upper body and looked around warily. However, he saw that the surroundings were unfamiliar. Then, he saw Ban and the other two standing at the side.
"Ban, Orochimaru, Yurai, why are you here? I remember that I was ambushed by the sand ninja on my way back from a mission. Why are you here now?"
Okami looked at them with a puzzled expression.
Hearing Okami's question, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Ah, it's like this. After you sent out the distress signal, the third generation Naruto sent us here. After that, there was a series of battles.”
Although Ban didn't say how the battle was going, Tsunei knew that it was going to be very intense.
"Thank you, Ban, Orochimaru, and Selaiya.”
" Well, you don't have to be so polite with us, Tsuneo. You know, we're teammates. It's only right for us to save you. Besides, this mission is actually very simple, haha."
" Oh, and, Tsunei, have you noticed that there's something different about your body?"”After saying that, he looked at Tsunei's chest with a lecherous expression.
Everyone, including Tsunami, looked over at Yukiya. After reading, Ban and Orochimaru turned their heads away with black lines on their faces. Only Tsunami was left gnashing his teeth. The number of " Jing " symbols on his head gradually increased.
Actually, Tsunete's current body was no longer the same as before. The two slightly bulging lumps of flesh could be clearly seen on his chest.
Even though Tsunete looked angry, she was actually very happy inside. Hehe, my chest can finally start to grow. I thought that it hadn't developed for a long time and would still remain that way when I grow up. However, he still had to show his anger on the surface.
"Bastard Self-Reliance, go to hell.”
After saying that, he threw a punch over. Zirai was not careful and was hit. Zirai was like a cannonball, flying out and crashing into the wall with a swoosh. His entire body was stuck in the wall. It could be seen that Tsunei's punch was...
Ban and Orochimaru looked at Tsunete's fist in a daze. At the same time, they wiped the non-existent cold sweat from their foreheads and thought,'Tsunete's fist is really deadly. She didn't even use chakra. It seems that I shouldn't provoke her in the future.'
"Ahem, alright, Tsunete. This is how Kirai is. Don't bother with her. Now, let's talk about your mission!”
Orochimaru pretended to cough and ended the farce. He turned to Tsunete and asked,"
"Did you find anything suspicious about your attack this time?”
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Okami started to think about this matter.
" Orochimaru, I wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't mentioned it. At that time, after I completed my mission, I rushed back to the Woodleaf Village. However, I was afraid that something would happen on the way back because I was in the Wind Country, so I specially found a different path from the one I came from. I didn't expect to be ambushed when I was about to reach the border of the Fire Country.”
Hearing Okami's answer, everyone fell into deep thought. Orochimaru looked pensive.
"If that's the case, someone must have told Sunin about your mission in the Wind Country. Did you find anyone suspicious on your way to the Wind Country?”
"No, I haven't."
Okami said after thinking about the situation.
"In that case, we can eliminate them! Because they didn't have the time to inform Sajin at all…"
Before Orochimaru could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Kiriya." That's not right, Orochimaru. Do you think it's possible that this mission is a trap set up by Sanin to trick Tsuneo into going to the Wind Country?"”
"You idiot, can you use your brain to think about it? They don't know that the person who accepted the mission this time will be Tsuneo.”
Ban said. Everyone looked at Zi Lai Ye as if he was an idiot, making Zi Lai Ye want to dig his head into the ground.
"Cough, continue. Since we have eliminated the person who issued the mission, the only ones left should be our own people…"
"Wait, Orochimaru, what are you guys talking about? What about them?"
"Ah, it's like this, Tsunake. When you were unconscious, we had already thought about your mission. At that time, we realized that this was definitely a conspiracy and not just a coincidence. They are the higher-ups in our village. Currently, our suspects are the group, the elders, and the Uchiha family.”
After hearing Orochimaru's answer, Okami immediately knew that Orochimaru and the others were talking about the mastermind behind this conspiracy.
"In other words, there is someone in our village who wants to kill the chief. We have already made a guess.”
" As for the reason, I think it's for the sake of profit. For Tanzo, what he wants the most is to be Naruto. As for the Elder Committee, other than those who support Tanzo, there's also the Uchiha family. To them, killing you, a genius of the Thousand Hand clan, will be able to suppress the Thousand Hand clan. At the same time, killing you will also cause the Thousand Hand clan to never rise again. This is beneficial to them.、，After all, to the proud and complacent members of the Uchiha Clan, the only strong enemy in their eyes was the Thousand-Hand Clan.”
Orochimaru said with certainty. After saying that, he turned his gaze to Ban.
"Also, Ban, you have to be careful. They don't know about your existence yet, so they won't do anything for now. However, once they discover you, their target might shift to you.”
"Ah, it's fine. In another year, my strength will have a qualitative change. At that time, if they attack me, they will need to be prepared to pay the price for this matter, especially this time's Tsuneo matter. If I find out who did it, I will not let them off easily.”
After saying that, he had a ruthless expression on his face, and his body emitted an aura that contained the aura of life, causing everyone to look at him. Okami was first moved by Ban's words, but then he was extremely shocked. His voice trembled as he said,
"Is this…is this the wood attribute chakra? Could it be that…Ban, you have already awakened the Wood Escape?”
"Ah, that's right. I awakened it in that battle. Speaking of which, I can't believe that I awakened the Wood Escape.”
After saying that, he smiled slightly and looked at Tsunete with a gentle expression. However, he quickly returned to his normal expression, so fast that even Tsunete and the others did not notice.
"However, regardless of whether or not the attack on Okami was a conspiracy, we have to tell Grandma about it. This matter can be big or small. If they dare to do this, it means that the weight of our Thousand Hand Clan in their hearts has slowly become lighter.”
Meanwhile, Ban was thinking to himself that the deaths of people like Thousand-hand Orangewater, Thousand-hand Rope Tree, and Kato Dun, who were related to the Thousand-hand Clan or Okami, must have something to do with the mastermind behind it. Their goal must be to suppress the Thousand-hand Clan and force Okami away. One must know that Okami was a strong candidate to compete for the position of the fourth generation Naruto in the future. In other words, forcing him away was actually to force away the candidate of Naruto.
However, with me here, your goal will not be achieved. As for Danzang, hmph, he was definitely the mastermind behind Okami's attack. It seemed that he could not be kept alive. During World War II, he would…
"Ban, is there a need to tell grandma about this? I don't think it's a good idea.”
Okami said worriedly.
"No, we have to tell granny. Because only granny can intimidate them with this matter. After all, granny is the wife of the first generation Huo Ying. We have to let them know that our Thousand Hand Clan has not declined to the point where we don't care about our own clansmen being plotted against. We have to let them know that our Thousand Hand Clan has not declined to the point where we can be bullied by others. We have to let them know the influence of our Thousand Hand Clan in Muye. Even though the first and second generations of the Fire Country were no longer around, their influence was still huge.”
"Therefore, it is necessary to tell Grandma about this matter and let her come out to suppress those scoundrels. In the next few years or even longer, they won't dare to plot against our Thousand Hand Clan.”
"Moreover, as long as our Thousand Hand Clan is given some time, I believe that I can definitely lead the Thousand Hand Clan to reach or even surpass the glorious achievements of the Thousand Hand Clan in its heyday under the leadership of the first and second generations.”
Ban said with a firm and confident expression. His body also emitted an aura that only experts could possess. Seeing the aura he was emitting, everyone believed what Ban said. They could imagine that the appearance of Ban would trigger a new revolution in Ninja Realm in the future.
Zi Lai was also a little puzzled. Was Immortal Toad's prophecy true, or did it change because of Ban's arrival?，Or did Immortal Toad's prophecy not mention anything about Ban? Thinking of this, he made up his mind that he would find some time to go to Wondrous Wood Mountain and ask Immortal Toad about it.
"Alright, Tsunete is awake now. It's time to return to the Kinoba Village. However, why haven't we seen any reinforcements yet? And when we set off, didn't the third generation Naruto say that he would send those people who had completed their mission to support us? Why hadn't he seen anyone yet? Or did something happen to them on the way here, causing them to be unable to rush over to support us?”
Ban had thought of this after he suggested returning to Woodleaf Village, so he raised the question in his heart. In fact, things were just as Stripey had imagined. The signal they had sent out was intercepted halfway, so it was not received by Muye's people at all. As for the Jounin who had come to support them after completing their mission, something happened on the way.
This was not only confusing to Stripey, but also to Kurai and Orochimaru. Orochimaru said," Alright, Stripey, I think we should rush back to Kinoha first. When we reach the village, we'll ask about the third generation Naruto.”
"Mm, let's go back to Muye first.”Kirai and Okami said at the same time.
"In that case, let's go.”After Ban finished speaking, everyone immediately rushed back to the village.
