"What?
Do you know this bandit leader? "
Seeing Sasuke's surprised expression, one of the officials present asked.
"We don't know him, but if the trouble you encountered is referring to him, then we can return to the village!"
Sasuke smiled and turned his gaze to the official.
"What do you mean?"
Hōjō Clan, who was drinking tea, was also taken aback, not understanding the meaning of Sasuke's words just now.
"Unfortunately, on the way here, this bandit was already killed by me!"
"Gulp."
In the quiet main hall, there were suddenly many swallowing sounds. Several officials whispered to each other in disbelief. The bandit leader who committed crimes in the Land of Rice was dead?
If it weren't for the fact that Sasuke was a Ninja sent by Tien Yin, they would really question the authenticity of Sasuke's words.
But thinking about it, Sasuke didn't have the possibility of lying, because such a big matter would soon be reported back.
Looking at the reaction of the other officials, Sasuke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just did what a Chunin could do. This is the difference between a Ninja Village and a Ninja Village!
"Clap Clap Clap ~"
"As expected of the elite Ninja of Tien Yin, much better than those idiots I raised!"
As a Daimyo, Hōjō Clan was naturally more knowledgeable than those ordinary officials. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly applauded.
Before Uchiha, Itachi, and Sasuke came, Hōjō Clan also sent many guards to encircle and suppress those bandits, but those bandits were extremely cunning and failed many times. He also had enough of those arrogant bandits. Now that the bandit leader is dead, this simply made him feel extremely happy.
"Daimyo, you gave us Tien Yin such a large commission, it's not just to get rid of a bandit, right?"
Throwing the information scroll in his hand on the ground, Uchiha Itachi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
"Hehe, since you already know, then I won't beat around the bush."
Seeing Uchiha and Itachi like this, Houjo-san also smiled and said, "I don't know if you have heard of Orochimaru?"
"Orochimaru?"
"Orochimaru?"
Uchiha, Uchiha, and Sasuke turned pale with fright when they heard the name.
Orochimaru, one of the "Sannin" of the original Wood Leaf Hidden Village in the Land of Fire, is the disciple of the Third Hokage Flying Ape with Jiraiya and Tsunade. He has the terrible power to capture a small country. His strength can't be estimated, he is the top powerhouse in the ninja world.
"A few days ago, Orochimaru came to me. He wants to create a Ninja Village in the Land of Rice!"
"Maybe many people think this is a good thing. After all, a Ninja Village can improve the combat power of the Land of Rice, but I don't think so. The ninja world is cruel. A Ninja Village will lead to more wars. What's more, Orochimaru was originally a defected ninja of the Wood Leaf Hidden Village, so I want to refuse Orochimaru!"
"But you know, Orochimaru is a ferocious guy. If I refuse his request, he will definitely not let me go, so I want you to help me repel Orochimaru. It's best to kill him!"
At the end of the sentence, remembering the terrible Orochimaru who came to the palace a few days ago, Houjo-san couldn't help but shudder.
"This is really a super difficult task!"
Taking a deep breath, to be honest, Sasuke wanted to turn down this task.
Sasuke knows Orochimaru's strength. It's difficult to defeat him, let alone kill him. In Naruto, Orochimaru is a famous character who can't be killed.
"If you don't think you can take this task, you can give up, and then your Tien Yin's reputation won't be as good as it is now!"
Listening to Sasuke's words, it seems that he wants to retreat, an old official deliberately used provocation and smiled slightly.
"Are you threatening us?"
Sasuke suddenly looked up, his fists were also fiercely clenched, and his eyes changed.
As long as Sasuke makes a move, he can kill this old man in seconds.
"It's not a threat, isn't Tien Yin very famous recently?
If you can't even deal with such a small matter, then you can't be a powerful Ninja Village, I'm telling the truth! "
The old official was shocked by Sasuke's appearance and quickly explained.
"Killing Orochimaru, is that a small matter?
You … "
"Sasuke, forget it!"
Sasuke was about to fight back, but he was stopped by Uchiha Itachi.
"Do you know Orochimaru's location now?"
Glancing coldly at the old official, Uchiha Itachi asked a more critical question.
"Actually, we don't need to find him, last time Orochimaru said that he would give me five days to think about it, so he will come to me tomorrow!"
Staring at Uchiha Itachi, after a while, Hōjō's face gradually became dignified, and he said in a deep voice.
"Understood, we will help you defeat Orochimaru, as for whether we can kill him or not, it depends on tomorrow's battle!"
Uchiha Itachi also has other purposes for this trip, which is to control the Daimyo Hōjō to annex the Land of Rice. Even if he doesn't accept this task, he won't allow Orochimaru to establish a Ninja Village in the Land of Rice, so Uchiha Itachi didn't think too much and said directly.
"Of course!"
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi finally agreed to accept the task, a satisfied smile appeared on Hōjō's face. As long as they can defeat Orochimaru, they have achieved their goal, and presumably Orochimaru won't have any ideas about their Land of Rice.
"Okay, everyone, let's go!
I'm a little tired! "
"Terashima, take the two guests to rest!"
Shouting at the official who led the way before, Hōjō yawned and turned back to rest.
"This way please!"
After Hōjō left, the official called Terashima waved to Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke and began to lead the way again.
"Onii-san, are you sure you can defeat Orochimaru?
He's really strong! "
While walking, thinking about the battle that may happen tomorrow, Sasuke said with some worry.
"Don't forget, we are members of the Uchiha family, we have the power of Sharingan, even in the face of Orochimaru, we have the power to fight!"
Smiling at Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi responded confidently.
Remembering in the Naruto anime, after Orochimaru joined the Akatsuki, he formed a team with Sasori.
After seeing that Uchiha Itachi joined the Akatsuki, because he wanted the power of Sharingan, he tried to seize Uchiha Itachi's body as a reincarnation vessel, but he was stopped by Sharingan Genjutsu and lost directly to Uchiha Itachi.
"Un!"
Sasuke nodded, believing that in tomorrow's battle, his brother Uchiha Itachi will directly use Genjutsu to kill Orochimaru, just like in the anime.
