"We …" Hatake Maoso sighed, shook his head bitterly, and said slowly, "We don't seem to have any chips to continue the transaction."
Orochimaru's body stiffened, and he froze.
"What did you say?"
"I said, we have no chips to trade."
Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Hatake Maoso with a gloomy look, his tongue slightly sticking out of his mouth, and his ferocious face looked very scary, "Did you give him the whole of Konoha as a bargaining chip?"
"No." Hatake Maoso shook his head.
"Then how can there be no chips to trade?" Orochimaru had a serious look on his face. He thought that Hatake Maoso, as the Anbu Minister of Konoha, shouldn't be so stupid as to use the whole of Konoha as a bargaining chip. Fortunately, Hatake Maoso didn't do such a stupid thing. Otherwise, when he returned to the village, no one would dare to speak up for him.
"We don't have what he needs in Konoha, or we don't even know what he needs. How can we use the word 'bargaining chip'?"
Orochimaru's body shook, and this time he was completely speechless. You don't even know what the other party likes and wants? How did you become the Anbu Minister of Konoha? Don't you know how to investigate?
As if he knew what Orochimaru was thinking, Hatake Maoso glanced at him and continued, "We have tried to investigate him, but we didn't know where to start. Every time we were about to find a clue, it would be broken, and then we didn't know where to start. But according to our speculation, we have a preliminary guess about his origin."
"Let's hear it." Orochimaru suddenly became interested.
Hatake Maoso didn't speak, but stretched out his hands and made a gesture in the air. Orochimaru's pupils shrank subconsciously. Super S-Class Secret? A secret that only the Hokage knows?
He looked at Uchiha Chen, and his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but think, "What the hell is this guy? He actually made the Sandaime issue a Super S-Class Secret document!"
"Well, it's useless for us to discuss it here. Let's clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and go to other places to support. I know that Tsunade can't hold on any longer. If you don't hurry up, something bad will happen."
Hatake Maoso patted Orochimaru's shoulder and looked at him with disappointment. He then left and ordered Konoha's Ninjas to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield. They need to act as soon as possible.
While Hatake Maoso led Konoha's Shinobi to clean up the battlefield, Akira wasn't idle. Instead, he was familiarizing himself with his new ability, using the 'Eyes of Truth' over and over again. Every ninja present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. When they saw that it was Akira, they helplessly suppressed the anger in their hearts, shook their heads, and continued to clean the battlefield.
But this back and forth had already slowed down the speed at which they were cleaning up the battlefield. Hatake Maoso wanted to hurry them up, but they couldn't.
Konoha's ninjas had resentment in their hearts, but they didn't know where to vent it. If it wasn't for that guy causing trouble, would they be so slow?
After adapting to the 'Eyes of Truth' ability, there was no use for Akira Chen to stay here. He was ready to say goodbye to Hatake Maoso.
"Are you going to leave now? Don't you want to stay a little longer? " Hatake Maoso was a little surprised and quickly said, "Akira -san has helped us so much, we should be the host. Why are you leaving so soon?"
"No, I still have things to do. I have to go to Konoha early, so I won't be going with you." Akira Chen shook his head.
"Are you going to Konoha this time?" Hatake Maoso's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you going to place your two apprentices in Konoha first?"
Akira Chen nodded, "Yes, I have to place the two little guys in Konoha first. It just so happens that the Ninja Academy is starting soon. I'll take advantage of this time to send the two little guys to the Ninja Academy so that they can have a solid foundation before I teach them. "
Speaking of the two little girls, Chen started to have a headache. From the very beginning, the two little girls didn't give him any peace of mind. Anyway, Chen couldn't deal with the two little girls anymore. It was fine after he took them into his space, but before he took them out, he suffered a lot from the two of them. They quarreled for twenty-five hours a day, and there wasn't a moment of peace at all.
It wasn't easy to take the two little girls into the space, and he could take advantage of this time to go to Konoha and throw them into the Ninja Academy. This would also free Akira Chen from teaching. He really wasn't cut out for this.
Don't look at how the two little girls' strength seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds under Akira Chen's guidance. In fact, all of this was due to their talent. With Akira Chen's poor teaching skills, it's already a miracle that he didn't waste them.
After Akira Chen finished speaking, Hatake Maoso didn't speak immediately. Instead, he put his hand on his chin and thought carefully for a while, "Well, since you are going to Konoha first, I'll let Shikaku Nara lead the team. You can follow our wounded and rotating troops. They can also guide you, so you won't have to go alone."
"Does Konoha still have rotating Ninja troops?" Akira Chen was a little surprised. He thought that Konoha would be stretched thin since even the Hokage was on the front line. It turned out that Konoha still had a trump card.
Hatake Maoso chuckled and explained, "Although the war outside is tense, the village's daily defense can't be relaxed. There are still some backlogged missions. Although most of the mission channels have been closed during the war, we still have to eat. So, we still choose to take some missions. It's necessary to leave ninjas behind to guard the village."
"So that's how it is!" Akira Chen suddenly understood, "In that case, I'll leave it to you."
Hatake Maoso smiled knowingly and quickly said, "You're welcome." Seeing that Akira Chen was ready to go, he hurriedly called Shikaku Nara and told him to hurry up and arrange people to leave for Konoha.
Looking at Hatake Maoso who was even more anxious than himself, Chen knew what he was thinking. He wanted nothing more than to have a good relationship with Konoha, so that in the next battle, Konoha would be able to use Chakra as a weapon.
Akira Chen was well aware of this, but he didn't expose him. Sometimes, some things should be kept between you and me. There's no need to say it too clearly. If you say it too clearly, it'll be easy for you to feel embarrassed, and it'll be easy for me to feel embarrassed.
