Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Orochimaru Capture Mission
The order from Anbu was in the early morning of the next day.
Qingchuan received the summons early in the morning, put on the mask, put on the equipment, and set off directly.
Arriving at the Hokage Building, under the perception, he did not find Kakashi's aura.
With a rough guess in his heart, Qingchuan walked slowly and came to the Hokage's office.
"Third Hokage-sama."
"Mm." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his eyes gradually becoming kind.
"This mission is different from the past, it may be a bit difficult for you to accept, I hope you can be prepared."
"Yes." Qingchuan replied, and a trace of expectation flashed in his heart.
Of course.
If Jiraiya wasn't hiding outside the window, then he would probably look forward to it a little more.
"It's about the Orochimaru mission-."
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little satisfied, and at the same time, he directly entered the topic.
"As an S-rank missing-nin who harmed countless families, the village's pursuit of Orochimaru has never stopped."
"However, Orochimaru's strength and cunning are not something that ordinary people can contend with, plus his understanding of the Anbu, this mission... has not been effectively implemented."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, pausing for a moment.
After confirming that the girl's eyes were still calm, he continued to speak.
"Now, there is a ninja who has the strength to contend with Orochimaru, who is personally responsible for this mission."
"This old man hopes... that you can be this ninja's assistant and accelerate the completion of this mission."
While Hiruzen Sarutobi was speaking.
Jiraiya also unreservedly jumped in from the window, winking at Qingchuan...
"Is there any problem... Haruko?"
After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
Qingchuan, who was still calm in his heart, couldn't help but curse in his heart after listening.
What could be the problem?
Was it a problem if he didn't want to go?
Being stared at by this wretched uncle at all times on the road, how could personal privacy be solved!
Could you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, help with this problem!
MMP!
Qingchuan lowered his head, seemingly in contemplation.
In fact, he was afraid that his eyes would betray the ten thousand grass mud horses in his heart!
A trace of pity flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes...
Even Jiraiya next to him was no longer skinning and silently looked at Qingchuan.
It seemed that the shadow that Orochimaru left on this little girl was still there.
"If you have any concerns, it's better to say it, Haruko."
Again, he slowed down his tone, and Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly.
Jiraiya next to him also became serious.
"What you need to do is just follow me and help me judge the direction in which Orochimaru may escape."
"Don't worry... little Haruko, this sage won't let you be in any danger."
But the biggest danger was you, the wretched uncle...
Qingchuan muttered silently in his heart.
If he could, he would definitely want to refuse.
There would inevitably be many inconveniences when going out, and the possibility of exposing that sword would inevitably increase exponentially.
Even if Jiraiya found his conscience and didn't attack a little girl in her early teens.
This journey would also inevitably waste his time.
The cultivation progress would inevitably be slowed down...
It was estimated that even the most basic slashing could not be maintained.
If he went for a year and a half...
When he returned home, Itachi would probably have opened Mangekyō!
But the key was... Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention, it seemed that he had no way to refuse.
Catching Orochimaru was also his teacher's obsession.
Qingchuan felt that even if he proposed not to go, the probability of success would be very slim.
At this time.
Qingchuan suddenly thought of plan b, which appeared in his mind two days ago and had been temporarily shelved by him.
Why not... just run away?
"Mission time... is there a time limit, Third Hokage-sama."
After thinking for a long time.
Qingchuan still asked slowly.
Running away was indeed a good choice.
But running away from under Jiraiya's nose, the difficulty coefficient was really not low.
Observe first and act cautiously.
This was the decision Qingchuan made after careful consideration.
Hearing this.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya looked at each other, and both felt a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Especially Jiraiya.
This scene made it seem as if they were bullying a little girl.
And if this girl really refused, then he estimated that he couldn't bear to be cruel...
"Time limit..." Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment.
Then he confirmed his eyes with Jiraiya again, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"One month, it should be about the same."
"Of course, if the situation is special, it's okay to delay appropriately."
"After all, it's Orochimaru, safety comes first."
More than a month... it was okay.
Whether it was to run away or to double the training after returning, it was about the same.
.... .. 0
Qingchuan immediately raised his head, took off the mask, and smiled slightly.
"Yes!"
......
Clothes, towels...
"It should be about the same, remember to get more military rations and explosive tags from Anbu."
"If that lord is not right, blow him up directly!"
Thirty minutes later, Anko muttered while helping Qingchuan pack his clothes.
"Also, before leaving, remember to tell little Itachi."
After packing up almost, Anko didn't forget to tell him one more time.
Qingchuan's little face was a little dark.
For the first time, he felt that staying with Orochimaru was a wrong decision.
He only wanted to get away from the Uchiha, who would have thought... Anko came again.
It was forced by life to trick one Itachi with women's clothing.
But if he tricked another libertine Senpai, then there was something wrong with his thinking.
Especially since this Senpai developed well, and she didn't like to dress properly at home...
However... Anko was right.
Itachi's side...
Indeed, he should do some more insurance.
"I know, Anko-senpai."
"I'll go there later."
Qingchuan said so.
