Chapter 1256: All Is Fair in War
The whole thing originated from Duran's boredom, so he and Orochimaru planned the entire Kimimaro recapture game. Orochimaru has won the perfect gene, so he will probably have to stay quiet for a while and concentrate on studying genes.
Naruto and Lee were lying in the hospital being treated by Tsunade. However, Xiao Li's leg was seriously injured and required amputation. Xiao Li immediately asked Teacher Kai to get the fairy beans from the drawer in his room. He didn't want to lose a leg.
Xiao Li carefully kept the fairy beans given by Du Lan, and they were just in use now. Xiao Li took Naruto one by one, and immediately resurrected on the spot after eating. Tsunade, a master of craftsmanship, suffered a serious blow to her kindness. Is she not even as good as a bean?
Later, Tsunade found out that the beans were given by Dulan, and Xiao Li had trained with Dulan for a while. Super devil training, every time it is life or death, after the training, Dulan gives Xiao Li a fairy bean to help him recover. But sometimes when the injury is not serious, Xiao Li will save the fairy beans and use them today.
It's Dulan again. Now Tsunade understands why the teacher attaches so much importance to Dulan. Fairy beans, a magical medicine that can heal human flesh and bones, can be given away freely. This kind of demeanor does not seem to be a conspiracy.
But who else could it be if not Duran? Tsunade was also confused.
Naruto woke up feeling depressed because he couldn't save Sasuke. Everyone wants to know what happened and why the Valley of the End seems to have been blown up by tens of thousands of detonating symbols. Why is the fight between two genin so exaggerated?
Naruto didn't hide anything, he roughly said it. Sasuke mutated and used the chakra of the Kyuubi.
I didn't expect that the Jinchuuriki could already use such a huge amount of chakra, but what was even more suspicious was that Sasuke could actually win in a battle with such a huge amount of chakra.
Even the mutation is too exaggerated, and Sasuke has rarely left the village. What caused his mutation?
Tsunade thought about the phenomenon that Naruto said, eating animal offal, her hands and feet would grow longer, and later, horns would grow on her head. I don't know how Sasuke was transformed. Anyway, everyone in the Uchiha family said that it was definitely not caused by the blood ring eye, unless Naruto was under a genjutsu.
But the possibility of illusion is almost non-existent, and illusion cannot cause that much damage. Judging from the remnants of the battlefield, it was the destructive power caused by the violent collision between the Nine-Tails' chakra and the thunder-type chakra.
In short, Sasuke's departure has once again cast a shadow over the Uchiha family. It seems that their family can no longer see the future. The new generation of geniuses always betrays them. Is their family really born to be rebellious?
On the other side, Shikamaru started his own investigation. His IQ was off the charts and his intuition was sharp. He knew that if there was a mastermind behind these things, it would most likely be Dulan. Because the entire mission was entrusted by Duran, and Shikamaru felt it was very inconsistent when he was in school. Although Duran has always been sanctimonious, Shikamaru's intuition makes him different from everyone else. Peers of the same age flocked to Duran, but Shikamaru always felt that it was not the real Duran, but his disguise.
At first, Shikamaru thought he was just being suspicious, but after this painful lesson, Shikamaru decided to trust his intuition. There must be something wrong with Duran.
However, Shikamaru also knew that Duran was definitely not simple, so he decided to take risks. He was going to pretend to be Kabuto to defraud Du Lan. I am afraid that Du Lan was arranging Kimimaro's escape in the whole thing, so he must be acquainted with the person who robbed the prison car.
Shikamaru convinced everyone on the mission, including Hinata and Neji. Of course Shikamaru would not say that this was to test whether Duran was a prisoner, but to prove that Duran was not a prisoner.
Hinata had had close combat with Kabuto and was most familiar with Kabuto's voice and appearance, so it was up to her to observe the extent of the transformation technique.
Everything is ready and the test officially begins.
Hinata trusts Dulan 100% because she has grown up under Dulan's care since she was a child. Duran is closer than her parents. She has absolute confidence in Duran, so she hopes to dispel her companions' concerns through this test.
On the way home from the construction site of the new school, Du Lan felt that he was being followed. He turned a corner and arrived at a deserted and beautiful place, with rivers and willows raising their embankments and gentle breeze ripples.
"Follow me and you should come out."
People hiding in the dark were not surprised to hear Duran's voice. Duran's strength was recognized as profound.
Shikamaru personally went into battle and disguised himself as Kabuto using his transformation technique, because he was worried about the intelligence of others. This time he may be facing the biggest spy lurking in Konoha. Only by checking it personally can Shikamaru have the confidence to expose Duran's hypocrisy.
Pushing up his round-rimmed glasses, Fake Kabuto stepped out from the shadow of the corner wall.
"It's you. I didn't expect you to dare to return to Konoha."
Everyone was not surprised that Dulan recognized Kabuto at a glance, because Dulan was the principal of the school and basically knew all the ninjas in the village, and he also knew that Kabuto was a traitor.
Shikamaru was actually very nervous because he was afraid of exposing his flaws. Now he lowered his head and calmed his eyes: "Lord Orochimaru is very satisfied with this operation." The fraud began.
Everyone found that Dulan didn't answer, but instead showed an unknown smile, which was very strange and made them feel uncomfortable. Kokoro said that this has been exposed, or is Duran really related to Orochimaru?
"Did Orochimaru ask you to come here just to show off to me arrogantly?" Dulan spoke, and everyone was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth. This means that Duran is really connected with Orochimaru.
Shikamaru was also shocked. He had just suspected it before, but now it was really proven. He couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back. Who is Duran and who is Orochimaru? There is actually a connection between them? !
One is the respected principal in the village, and the other is a rebel ninja from Konoha who is hated by everyone. The relationship between them is too shocking.
Hinata was completely stunned. She didn't believe it.
Shikamaru quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Lord Orochimaru just wanted me to thank you. Kimimaro has arrived safely."
"Hehe, when did he become so kind? Remember this is the last time. If you threaten me with Sasuke's life again, I will not be polite to you."
...What does it mean?
In one sentence, Duran was originally thought to be a hypocrite who colluded with Orochimaru secretly. Now it seems that Orochimaru threatened Duran with Sasuke's life?
Hinata's expression became energetic again. She knew that her godfather was a good person.
Shikamaru was shocked. Is this incident related to Sasuke? Is Sasuke's mutation also caused by Orochimaru?
Seeing their troubled look, Duran laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He still wanted to lie to him? Duran thought to himself that he had performed for hundreds of thousands of years longer than you guys, and many worlds owed him an Oscar, so how could he be fooled by a few little brats?
Duran knew from the beginning that this was Shikamaru's plan, so he took advantage of it and put the blame on Orochimaru for Sasuke. Anyway, Orochimaru would not mind taking the blame again after he got the benefit.
"But Sasuke is not under our complete control yet, so we can't avoid having to trouble you again." Shikamaru immediately said: "Lord Orochimaru has not yet completed the transformation of Sasuke."
"You turned Sasuke into a man-eating monster, and you still have the nerve to say this? Now that Sasuke is gone, I'm afraid it won't be long before a man-eating demon appears on the continent. It's all because I failed to stop you in time that you succeeded. I hope Sasuke can rely on his willpower to overcome the side effects of the transformation, and I also hope he won't forget my teachings: If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be shocked by the collapse of the sky." Duran seemed very regretful: "Otherwise, the next time he sees his companions, they may kill each other. This time Naruto survived probably because Sasuke still had reason, and it's no wonder that you can't completely control him, so I can be a little relieved." "Kimimaro is gone, Sasuke is gone, and I don't want to see you again. Tell Orochimaru that if Sasuke dies, I will definitely let him know what it means to be worse than death."
So that's it, Shikamaru thought Duran knew that Sasuke had been transformed, but because Orochimaru held Sasuke's lifeline, he threatened Duran to transfer Kimimaro. But why Duran? If we use Sasuke to threaten, it seems that the Uchiha clan leader is the most suitable candidate.
"Aren't you cooperating with us happily? Why are you so heartless? It seems that we can only go to the head of the Uchiha clan. Maybe he can help us." Shikamaru induced him little by little, hoping to get more information.
"Humph, if it weren't for my apprentice, how could you threaten me? Aren't you just interested in my huge influence in the village?" Duran explained.
So that's it, Shikamaru understood. Because Sasuke's brother is Duran's apprentice, Duran has never let go of his apprentice. And Duran's influence is indeed greater than that of the Uchiha clan. These reasons are the reasons why Orochimaru is targeting Duran.
In this way, everyone has sorted out the general idea. Sure enough, Duran is still a kind person who cherishes the old feelings.
