Chapter 170 Everyone is astonished, Orochimaru specifically requests Kiyoshi.

After several days of routine, more ninjas arrived at the base.

Hearing the commotion outside the tent, Qing Si stopped his cultivation and went to investigate.

Thanks to his powerful physique, he could easily complete his daily tasks and squeeze out time for his own cultivation.

With his increasingly refined chakra control skills, he was able to circulate the demonic energy within his body with the "Lightning" jutsu to a minimum.

This means achieving a balance between consumption and recovery.

The effect is that it can run within Qing Si's body at any time; in layman's terms, it's like leaving the game running in the background.

You can get up every morning to harvest your crops and see how many cells you've strengthened overnight.

This is still in its initial stage; once it becomes more complete, its efficiency will greatly improve.

"Orochimaru, since it's an escort mission, I'll send some of my clansmen to you."

The Fugaku Road.

During war, different squads are formed based on the characteristics of the ninjas.

For an escort mission, it's best to have one Hyuga scout, one Uchiha escort, and another medical ninja to treat the injured.

This configuration can greatly improve the success rate of intelligence escort missions.

"Only two Uchiha are needed. Can I choose one?"

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.

"Choose one person?"

Fugaku was taken aback.

He turned to look at Uchiha Hachiro, Uchiha Yakumi, and the others beside him.

They were completely baffled as well.

"Orochimaru, who do you want?"

Fugaku asked.

"Kiyoshi, Uchiha Kiyoshi, I want him."

Orochimaru specifically asked for Kiyoshi.

The Hyuga and Uchiha clan ninjas who had gathered around looked at each other.

Eventually, everyone made way for them.

It was shown that he had just arrived and was standing on the last Kiyoshi.

People had different opinions.

Some were puzzled, some were envious, and some were disdainful.

Although Kiyoshi has shown remarkable talent and gained some fame, his time on the scene has been short.

Orochimaru is one of the legendary Sannin.

To receive such recognition is undoubtedly a great honor.

"Is he Uchiha Kiyoshi?"

"You're only just finding out?"

"Those arms and legs, so strong?"

Whispers were heard all around.

Many people have heard of Qing Si's name but never seen him. Today, they meet him for the first time and are struck by his imposing presence.

It gives people a sense of composure.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Kiyoshi spoke and took a step forward.

Behind Orochimaru were many Konoha ninjas.

It seems they intend to use this outpost as a transit point to reach another battlefield.

Now that war has broken out, ninjas are on the move.

Even large countries have many cases of invasion.

"Hehe, it's been a long time, Kiyoshi-kun."

Orochimaru said.

"Orochimaru, if you want, I'll transfer Kiyoshi to you. Tetsuka, you go too."

Fugaku turned to Uchiha Tekkado.

Kiyoshi is quite capable; going on such a mission wouldn't tarnish the reputation of the Uchiha clan.

"Yes, Lord Fugaku."

Uchiha Tetsuka immediately replied.

Then Orochimaru asked Hyuga Hizashi for two more people.

Hyuga Hizashi hesitated for a moment before choosing Hyuga Natsu and Hyuga Tetsu.

Both of them were classmates of Kiyoshi, so it would be good for them to look out for each other when carrying out missions together.

"Follow me to the next outpost to retrieve intelligence."

Orochimaru counted the number of people and gave Kiyoshi and the others ten minutes.

They quickly headed to another outpost.

…………

"Captain Yugito, Konoha ninjas should be heading this way to escort some intelligence."

A Cloud Village ninja spread out a map on the ground and drew a route for the blonde woman.

Although Konoha has a mountain clan, most of the time they use primitive escort missions.

Because the processing volume was too large, a large amount of intelligence was transmitted back to the rear every day, and new orders were issued from the rear.

The chakra reserves of the Yamanaka clan ninjas are simply insufficient, and using these sensory teleportation techniques consumes a great deal of chakra.

Moreover, this type of secret technique is also at risk of being intercepted by the enemy.

"Go ahead."

Yugito the Two-Tailed looked at the map.

This is a good opportunity to check on Uchiha Kiyoshi's whereabouts.

…………

The sun gradually set over the mountain.

The group arrived at another base before nightfall.

Orochimaru went to negotiate with the ninja in charge of the base and brought out another group of people.

The intelligence we need to escort this time is of utmost importance, so we must be cautious.

Naturally, pieces are indispensable in this game.

"Kiyoshi, it's been a long time!"

Just as Kiyoshi entered, a cheerful voice rang out.

He turned around and saw it was Kurenai Yuhi.

"red."

Kiyoshi nodded and asked her how she had been lately.

Yuhi Hong immediately puffed out her little face and said that coming here to fight was inconvenient in this way and inconvenient in that way.

Kiyoshi listened patiently to Kurenai's rambling.

Not long after, he saw Sarutobi Asuma coming over again.

Compared to his former delinquent youthful demeanor in the village, Sarutobi Asuma has become much more fierce now.

The arrival of puberty means a surge in various hormones.

Sarutobi Asuma has grown a lot more beard on his cheeks and chin.

He looks more mature or even older than his peers.

"Yo, Kiyoshi."

Sarutobi Asuma waved his hand.

Kiyoshi nodded.

Uchiha Tetsuka stood behind Kiyoshi and greeted the others as well.

They were all from the same class.

They were not strangers to each other.

"Asha, be careful on this mission."

While the others exchanged pleasantries and waited for Orochimaru's return, Hyuga Tetsu cautiously spoke to Hyuga Natsu.

"I know."

Hinata Natsumi said softly.

Faced with Hyuga Tetsuo's approach, she calmly took a half step back, her eyes glancing at Kiyoshi's profile.

She was afraid that Qing Si would misunderstand.

Hyuga Tetsuya was filled with worry about the mission's outcome, his eyes filled with confusion.

This kind of mission definitely requires enticement; out of several intelligence reels, there's only one real one.

The escorting ninjas are strictly forbidden from opening the scroll during the journey; the authenticity of the information scroll can only be determined after the mission is completed.

What intelligence scrolls will they get?

"Alright, let's get ready to go."

The group didn't have to wait long before Orochimaru gave each of them a rice ball and a scroll.

After pointing out some points to note, he swallowed the rice ball in his hand and led everyone to a distant place to escort intelligence.

In war, intelligence is of paramount importance.

Once the enemy learns of the plan, they will target it and set traps.

Therefore, Orochimaru personally took charge of this mission.

……

The night was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

The group traveled silently through the night.

The term "ninja" refers to someone who endures hardship.

Such long journeys were a daily occurrence for ninjas.

"The road ahead will be more dangerous."

Orochimaru gave everyone a heads-up beforehand.

There are signs of activity from other ninja villages here, suggesting they may have set up an ambush beforehand.
