Mu Yue asked his disciples to check their personal belongings, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he took his disciples to the battlefield on the east coast of the Fire Nation.
"Rin, why did you vote for Kakashi?" Obito couldn't help but ask Nohara Rin on the way.
Compared to the fact that Kakashi had three votes and he had zero votes, Obito was more bothered by the fact that Nohara Rin voted for Kakashi instead of himself or him.
Because this gave Obito the feeling that Nohara Rin trusted Kakashi more than him.
"I feel that Kakashi is very suitable to be the vice-captain and will be very reliable." Nohara Lin thought for a while and replied with a soft smile.
Nohara Rin trusts Obito in other matters, but when it comes to leading a team, Nohara Rin still thinks Kakashi is more reliable.
This is not an empty conjecture, but a conclusion drawn by Nohara Lin based on their experience in carrying out missions.
Kakashi can always analyze the most advantageous actions for them based on the current situation, and as for Obito, he may perform exceptionally well when encountering a powerful enemy, but that is limited to combat. It is impossible to expect Obito to formulate tactics.
However, stating the truth directly might be a bit hurtful, so Nohara Lin just expressed her feelings.
Obito's face suddenly fell. What could be more uncomfortable than hearing the girl he liked praise another boy in front of him?
Of course there is, and that is when the boy being praised is his mortal enemy.
"Damn Kakashi!" Obito roared in anger in his heart.
At this moment in Obito's mind, Kakashi's image changed from a friend with a bad temper to a naturally evil little Hatake kid.
Obito felt even more uncomfortable when he thought about the recent civil war he lost to Kakashi and had to do a lot of questions.
When Obito thought about how Kakashi would be even harder to catch up with after learning the powerful new moves taught by Mu Yue, he suddenly felt that the problem was getting even more difficult.
In just one minute, Obito remembered all the things that Kakashi had done to make him uncomfortable.
"It's all Kakashi's fault. I must defeat him on the battlefield this time." Obito was secretly ruthless, and there was fire in his eyes as he looked at Kakashi.
Feeling Obito's gaze, Kakashi turned his head slightly and looked at Obito for a second, then turned back with a calm expression.
Obito's train of thought is too peculiar, he does things carelessly, and he gets easily carried away. Kakashi proposed to Mu Yue that there should be a vice-captain because he was worried about Obito's safety.
With the identity of vice-captain, even if Obito is not convinced, he will have to obey. After all, this is Mu Yue's personal decision, which may be more effective for Obito than the words of the Hokage.
Seeing Kakashi's nonchalant expression, Obito became even angrier. Kakashi's words were simply saying that you fell down before I even got serious.
Shisui saw Obito's expression, opened his mouth but ultimately did not say anything to comfort him.
Self-awareness is very important. If you allow Obito to have the illusion that he can lead the team just to comfort him, it may cause problems in the future.
We are all from the same school and we spend every day together, so we know each other quite well.
On the surface, the vote was a multiple-choice question, but to Shisui, there was only one answer, and that was Kakashi.
Not to mention other things, Kakashi has more experience than everyone else. Because he graduated early, Kakashi is already a ninja with five years of experience.
After arriving at the ninja camp, Mu Yue was asked to attend a meeting before he had time to talk much with his disciples.
As soon as Mu Yue walked into the large tent that served as a meeting room, she saw a lot of "familiar faces".
The first person he saw was the expressionless commander of the troop, Orochimaru, sitting at the head of the long table.
Mu Yue calmly gave Orochimaru an appraisal.
[Name: Orochimaru]
[Chakra: 142000]
[Potential: S]
[Skills: Yin attribute chakra property change (Mastery: 4800/15000), wind attribute chakra property change (Mastery: 3040/15000), fire attribute chakra property change (Mastery: 2008/15000), water attribute chakra property change (Mastery level), earth attribute chakra property change (Mastery level), hidden shadow snake hand (Mastery level)...]
Orochimaru's panel is somewhat similar to Sarutobi Hiruzen's, and he also masters a great number of ninjutsu, including both S-level forbidden techniques and D-level ordinary ninjutsu, which is very complete.
However, unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru is most proficient in the snake ninjutsu that he developed himself, rather than the ninjutsu of the five basic attributes.
Judging from the panel, the person who has the greatest hope of inheriting Sarutobi Hiruzen's skills should be Orochimaru, who has many mastery-level property changes.
As to why Orochimaru did not choose to inherit Sarutobi Hiruzen's mantle, Mu Yue felt that there were two possibilities.
The first is that Orochimaru felt that he was not as talented as Sarutobi Hiruzen in ninjutsu, and if he followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's path, he would only become the third generation, so Orochimaru chose to go his own way.
This conjecture is based on the proficiency of Orochimaru's skills. Although the properties of the mastery level have changed a lot, the proficiency is not particularly outstanding.
The second possibility is that Orochimaru's desire for immortality exceeds his desire for strength. Is Sarutobi Hiruzen's style strong? Of course it is. It is difficult for him to have an opponent unless he encounters a cheating ninja. But combination ninjutsu obviously cannot bring immortality, so Orochimaru gave up combination ninjutsu and studied forbidden techniques.
This is Mu Yue's guess based on the level of Orochimaru in the original work.
"There is still a lot of room for improvement." Mu Yue thought to herself as she recalled the panel identified by Orochimaru at the previous Jonin meeting.
Perhaps it was because the war forced them to frequently fight with strong men of the same level. Although they did not make as much progress as youngsters like Minato Namikaze, strong men like Orochimaru and Jiraiya were also making progress.
Mu Yue shifted her gaze slightly. Sitting on Orochimaru's right was Nara Shikaku, the man with a pineapple hairdo, one of the contemporary Ino-Shika-Chou.
[Name: Nara Shikaku]
[Chakra: 23000]
[Skills: Yin attribute chakra property change (2600/15000), shadow imitation technique (mastery level)...]
On the left is Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of the current head of the Hyuga family.
[Name: Hyuga Hizashi]
[Chakra: 28000]
[Skill: Gentle Fist (Mastery: 2640/15000)...]
"Mr. Mu Yue, please take a seat." Orochimaru spoke first, and his magnetic voice rang out in the tent.
"I think you all know Mu Yue-kun, so there's no need for me to introduce you to him." Orochimaru asked after looking around.
The jonin in the tent nodded and greeted Mu Yue.
"Of course I know him. Mu Yue is so young and promising. He is an excellent jonin in our Konoha."
"I was fortunate enough to hear about the achievements of Mu Yue Jonin in the war in the Land of Grass..."
Although Mu Yue's feat of defeating Ye Cang was not widely publicized, Mu Yue still had a certain degree of fame in Konoha. After all, he taught more and more people and also made some contributions on the battlefield.
Since they were in a meeting, the jonin didn't say much and soon fell silent.
Then Orochimaru looked at Nara Shikaku.
Nara Shikaku nodded and stood up.
"I will now explain the current situation on the battlefield. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them directly." Nara Shikaku said seriously.
In fact, half of the jonin in the conference room had been transferred here not long ago, including Commander Orochimaru.
A ninja of Orochimaru's level is naturally qualified to obtain all kinds of detailed information provided by Konoha, but some ordinary jonin do not have this treatment. Of course, this is also due to a certain degree of confidentiality needs.
Nara Shikaku's job today is to let them understand the situation on the battlefield and the tasks they need to complete.
Nara Shikaku first circled the login point and main activity area of Kirigakure on the map, and explained the approximate number of Kirigakure troops in the Land of Fire and their combat methods.
"The Kirigakure Ninja Unit is usually equipped with at least one Kirigakure Ninja who masters the Kirigakure technique. When you are outnumbered and there are no sensory ninjas, try to avoid head-on confrontations." Nara Shikaku reminded.
He did not explain the effect of the Mist Hidden Technique. The Mist Hidden Technique was the most famous ninjutsu of the Mist Hidden Technique. Everyone present was a Konoha jonin and they would not be unaware of this common sense.
A Konoha senior ninja frowned slightly. The Mist Hidden Technique was indeed very difficult to deal with. It directly turned the normal battlefield into one where the enemy was in the dark and we were in the light.
Hinata Hizashi's expression remained unchanged. This was exactly the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen sent a large number of Hyuga ninjas to the battlefield in the Hidden Mist Village. The Byakugan of their Hyuga clan was the best perception ninjutsu.
Finally, Nara Shikaku talked about the noteworthy Kirigakure strongmen on the battlefield.
"Karotachi Yagura is extremely skilled in water jutsu. Although he looks young, he is actually an experienced old ninja. He is the strongest Mist Ninja that has ever appeared on the battlefield."
"Mizunotsuki Han, a ninja from the Snow Clan of the Hidden Mist Village, is good at Bloodline Limit Ice Release and is very powerful."
"Hinoki Zangetsu, a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, is good at water escape and can use water transformation techniques that make him immune to physical attacks. He is very powerful."
"All members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen need to be careful. Every ninja in the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is an elite among the jonin. Their strength should not be underestimated. The combined power of the seven is extremely dangerous. Please be careful if you meet them on the battlefield." Nara Shikaku said seriously.
In terms of personal strength, no one among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen could compare to the three he singled out, but the Seven Ninja Swordsmen often acted as a team to assassinate, which was not the case with Karatachi Yagura and the others.
The jonin in the tent wrote down all the information that Nara Shikaku said.
The Hidden Mist Village is the most low-key large ninja village. Because it rarely participates in wars on the continent, other ninja villages know little about them.
Take the Seven Ninja Swordsmen for example. Many Konoha jonin have only heard of the name but don't know their specific abilities and areas of expertise.
Mu Yue showed a thoughtful expression.
There is a gap between reality and comics after all. Even in Konoha, he knew some excellent jonin who were not in the plot. It is reasonable that two unknown strong men appeared in Kirigakure, where the plot is sparse.
After saying that, Nara Shikaku sat down and nodded to Mu Yue.
Due to his position, Nara Shikaku obtained specific information about Mu Yue's strength specially provided by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After all, he is a military strategist. If he doesn't even know the strength of his own people, then he won't be able to make the most appropriate battle plan.
After reading the information given by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Nara Shikaku was a little surprised.
Nara Shikaku was no stranger to Muyue, as his battle against the tailed beasts together with Jiraiya in the Land of Grass was reported in the Konoha newspaper.
But the information provided by Sarutobi Hiruzen still made Nara Shikaku shocked by Mu Yue's strength.
Helping Jiraiya to defeat the Jinchuriki as an auxiliary is completely different from Mu Yue defeating the Sand Village hero Ye Cang alone.
Nara Shikaku was not present at the war in the Land of Grass. According to the article in Konoha News, Jiraiya was the main force, while Namikaze Minato was the strongest helper, followed by Mu Yue.
And based on the length of the article, Mu Yue, the second support, is quite inferior to Minato Namikaze.
What does it mean that Mu Yue defeated Ye Cang alone? Ye Cang's reputation in the Sand Village is stronger than Namikaze Minato's reputation in Konoha. The significance of the two records is too different.
Nara Shikaku believed that if Sarutobi Hiruzen had not been concerned about the thoughts of the Sand Village, Mu Yue would have long since become famous in the ninja world by stepping on Ye Cang's reputation.
Mu Yue doesn't even need to say anything herself, Konoha will take the initiative to help promote Mu Yue. After all, this is a ninja from their own ninja village, and publicity can attract commissions.
But the situation is a bit awkward now. The Sand Village is the only big ninja village that has not declared war on Konoha. If the Sand Village is unhappy about this matter and declares war on Konoha, then Konoha will really be picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons.
Therefore, not only can Konoha not help Mu Yue with publicity now, but it also has to be careful that this information is not known by too many people to prevent it from spreading widely.
In Nara Shikaku's heart, Mu Yue is the second strongest man on the battlefield, and his strategic position is second only to Commander Orochimaru.
However, Nara Shikaku was not sure whether Mu Yue could defeat Mizunotsuki Kan or Kido Zangetsu. Ninjas cannot judge the outcome before a specific fight.
As for Karatachi Yagura, he will be countered by Orochimaru.
Mu Yue responded with a smile, Nara Shikaku was a smart man, and it was less troublesome to deal with smart people.
"Mr. Mu Yue, please stay." After the meeting, Orochimaru called Mu Yue alone.
Nara Shikaku has information about Mu Yue's strength, while Orochimaru has more detailed information about Mu Yue. He even knows that Mu Yue was a Root ninja before.
The source of this information was none other than Orochimaru's partner, the leader of the Root, Danzo Shimura.
According to the information conveyed by Danzo Shimura, Mu Yue is a good assistant that he had won for Orochimaru by arguing with the Third Hokage, and he can definitely help Orochimaru achieve success and gain military merit.
"Lord Orochimaru, is there any task you need me to perform?" Mu Yue turned around and asked calmly.
Before setting off, Mu Yue received instructions from Danzo Shimura.
Danzo Shimura said that Orochimaru is also a member of the Root family, and Mu Yue and Orochimaru should communicate more, get along more, and help each other.
In addition, Danzo Shimura gave Mu Yue the task of helping Orochimaru gain military merit, and emphasized that this was Mu Yue's most important and highest priority task on the battlefield.
Of course Mu Yue would not take Shimura Danzo's words to heart. His strength was already enough that he didn't need to care about Shimura Danzo. He was still willing to pretend just to avoid trouble.
But with Mu Yue's strength, just a few random moves on the battlefield would help Orochimaru, and he doesn't need to pay special attention, so Shimura Danzo's mission is actually equivalent to no mission.
