"Moonlight Sect's amnesia was an accident.
But this doesn't prevent us from working together to a certain extent, just like Orochimaru and you.”
"Oh?" " Orochimaru is a rare ninjutsu genius," Tanzo said disdainfully." His talent is beyond the reach of most clan ninjas. What right do you have to compare with him?"”
Hidekazu smiled faintly and said calmly,""Just because I'm only seventeen years old, just because I'm stronger than him.”
Danzang was about to laugh at Shue Shikawa's boasting, but then he thought of Orochimaru's strange behavior." Orochimaru knew the crime of deceiving the higher-ups, but he still did it without caring about his face.
This only meant one thing: Orochimaru felt that it was more important to hide the truth about Shin than to bear the so-called crime.
Tanzo understood Orochimaru. He was a guy who valued strength greatly. Was the perfect memory erasing spell really that important to Orochimaru? If it wasn't for this reason, why would Orochimaru treat Shikawa Shue differently?
With Orochimaru's personality, if there was really something he wanted on Shoutu, he would probably think of ways to get it.
And after he got his hands on it, with Orochimaru's pride, he probably wouldn't care if the secret was leaked or not.
Anyway, he was just a civilian ninja without any background. What could he do?
However, the current situation was that Shue Shikawa was standing there perfectly fine, and Orochimaru was trying to cover up for him.
This meant that there was indeed something on Shigawa Shue that attracted Orochimaru, but Orochimaru was unable to get it.
His thoughts disappeared in a flash, and Tuan Zang immediately understood the crux of the problem: Orochimaru indeed wanted to keep Shinoshi's secret for himself, but he seemed to be helpless against Shinoshi, which was why he made such a move. Then, Shinoshi's true strength...
A vague light flashed in his eyes. Tuan Zang stopped the ridicule that was about to come out of his mouth and responded to Shue's 'boastful boasting',""You said that you are stronger than Orochimaru. Do you have any evidence? Just because you defeated two Rain Ninjas?”
Tanzang's doubts made Shoutu feel that he had to take out some useful information.
He didn't waste any time and took out a bunch of forehead protectors from the ninja bag behind him and handed them to her.
There were a total of nine forehead protectors. Two of them belonged to Ishii and Takeshi, while the other seven belonged to the remaining seven ninjas.
These forehead protectors were obtained from his hunting operation. Hidekazu had originally planned to find an opportunity to exchange them for battle credits, but since he was targeted by the group trove, he might as well take them out openly and show his strength while fighting for the right to speak.
Tuan Zang took the rock ninjas without batting an eyelid, narrowing his eyes to distinguish them.
Each village's Ninja's forehead guard was different in style according to the level of the wearer. This was also a common method used by people to distinguish the strength of the Ninja.
After a while, Tuan Zang's expression turned serious as he asked,""Is this the result of your mission? Why didn't you report it?"
Hidekazu waved his hand nonchalantly.""I didn't come back with the main group. These are my unexpected gains on my way back. I naturally have my reasons for not reporting them.
Besides, they were just some small fries, so there was no point in reporting them.”
Tuanzang snorted coldly, as if sensing the hidden meaning in Shue's words. He stuffed his forehead protector into his loose robe and said bluntly,""I don't want to know why you hid your strength, but you ignored the dignity of the fire shadow and the rules of the village.
Aren't you afraid that Nikzhan will come after you if he finds out?”
Astutely sensing the change in the way Tuan Zang addressed him, Shue smiled and said,""Elder Tuanzang, there are only the two of us here.
Orochimaru has also mentioned your character to me. To be honest, I don't reject working with you. Why don't we talk openly?”
Tuan Zang lowered his head as if he was thinking. However, his eyes swept across Shue Shinkawa subtly as he calculated the information he had gathered.
Excluding the travel time, it meant that in one day, Shue had single-handedly annihilated two elite Yanin teams. There was not a single wound on the other party's body after the battle. Even his clothes were not damaged, which meant that he was far from using his full strength. In addition, Orochimaru was wary of him…
Danzang suddenly realized that the strength of Shingi was not something that could be measured by Jounin. His true combat strength was probably not much weaker than the recently famous Hatsuki Shuogu.
Most importantly, such a powerful ninja was only seventeen years old this year, and Naruto obviously didn't know about this.
If he could successfully absorb Shingi into his roots, then there would be two top-tier combatants, including Shingi and Orochimaru.
When he thought of the possible future, Tuan Zang's heart could not help but burn with passion. For such a person to be so secretive all these years, he must be very shrewd and scheming.
If Orochimaru hadn't noticed a little bit of the other party's background this time and coincidentally revealed a flaw in front of him, he might never have noticed the existence of Shigawa Hideki.
His strength was unknown, his abilities were unknown, and his goal was unknown…The only thing he knew was that Shoutu was indeed a native of the Kinoha Ninja and had no bad records in the past. However, Danzo, who was full of conspiracy theories, did not dare to believe these things on the surface.
Tanzang believed that Shingi had either started hiding his strength a long time ago, or he had been quietly replaced.
This was because precious secret techniques could be obtained by chance, but powerful strength was definitely not something that could be cultivated overnight.
Who was he and what was his purpose? Perhaps it was time to have a frank and honest talk.
"Follow me." After saying this, Tuan Zang turned around and left. He did not seem to care whether or not Hidekazu would follow him.
A glint flashed in Shouta's eyes for a moment before he followed behind the group without hesitation. He had already guessed where the group would take him.
It was very likely that it was the opponent's home ground, the root base outside of Woodleaf Village.
And with the current strength of Tanzang and Genji…Shue didn't care about them at all.
This was also the reason why he chose to reveal a little of his true strength to the group: He wasn't afraid that Tanzang would use force against him.
Other than that, he had many other factors to consider. Pretending to be stupid in front of a person like the group was obviously not going to work.
Instead of pestering him endlessly, it was better to openly show his sincerity and seek cooperation.
In any case, with the ambitions of the group, they would never give up on a precious battle force like Shin.
From the original work, it could be seen that Tuan Zang was a very pragmatic person in essence, unlike Yuan Fei and Sun Slash, who talked about empty talk.
For valuable talents, this old ghost would never be stingy with resources. This could be seen from Orochimaru: How many precious resources and confidential information were opened to him?
