Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Although the Hyuga clan is a major ninja clan in Konoha, it is extremely rare for them to send out sixteen Jonin at once.
"A war is about to break out?"
Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but ask.
You guessed half right.
Kitazawa didn't elaborate, "We'll gather in the Death Forest at nine o'clock on Saturday morning. You'll find out what our purpose is then."
Gathering at the village entrance would be too noisy; the vast and boundless Death Forest is a much better option.
After talking with Hiashi Hyuga, he went to the Konoha Police Department.
Fugaku Uchiha spent his days at the Konoha Police Department, so he didn't go to the Uchiha clan's residence.
"Chief of the Fugaku clan."
Kitazawa said directly, "Please form four Sharingan teams, preferably all of them Jonin."
"What are you trying to do?"
Fugaku Uchiha looked completely surprised.
"We'll gather in the Forest of Death at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Tsunade-sensei will tell you the reason then."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and then said, "Itachi must participate."
Fugaku Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he agreed.
Tsunade's decision to let Itachi Uchiha participate shows that Itachi has gained her trust.
The probability of a Hokage emerging from the Uchiha clan is getting higher and higher.
Kitazawa then went to see Might Guy, Kakashi Hatake, Kosuke Maruboshi, and others.
He notified all the Jonin he remembered who were elite Jonin.
In short, we absolutely cannot let Orochimaru escape in this team fight.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Although Konoha Village was peaceful, there was an unusual aura among the Jonin.
Saturday morning at nine o'clock, somewhere in the Death Forest.
The arriving Jonin exchanged bewildered glances, sensing their confusion.
Because this lineup is too luxurious.
Is this the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War?
Chapter 302 Tsunade and Kitazawa defeat Orochimaru
Tsunade and Kitazawa were the last to arrive.
"Lord Hokage."
Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Kakashi Hatake, and others took the initiative to greet him.
Tsunade nodded slightly.
She glanced around and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Even she felt that the lineup Kitazawa had assembled was a bit excessive.
Those who didn't know better might think they were going to attack Kumogakure instead of Otogakure.
Well, it's better to be cautious.
"There is only one purpose for gathering you all here today."
Tsunade, facing the puzzled looks of the crowd, said, "Take down Otogakure and Orochimaru."
Many people immediately showed expressions of shock.
Orochimaru was a student of Hiruzen Sarutobi and one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
Some of them had even fought alongside him.
Now that they have suddenly heard that their target is Orochimaru, it is naturally difficult for them to remain calm.
"Orochimaru is a rogue ninja of Konoha. We must bring him back no matter the cost!"
Tsunade spoke with an air of authority.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"This operation needs to be kept secret. We are not focused on speed, but we cannot let anyone discover our whereabouts."
Tsunade instructed, "The Hyuga and Aburame clan ninjas are in charge of this. If anyone is nearby, avoid them."
While it would be difficult for this group to conceal their whereabouts, it's not impossible.
After all, they were all top-tier Jonin.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Hiashi Hyuga and Shimi Aburame quickly responded.
"set off!"
Tsunade waved her hand and took the lead, walking at the very front.
Kitazawa and the other Jonin followed closely behind.
With the help of Byakugan and Parasite, the group arrived in the Land of Fields without being detected.
Not far from Otogakure, the group stopped.
"There are ninjas from the Fuma clan in that valley. Fugaku, take some men and control them without making any noise."
Tsunade spoke.
Fugaku Uchiha nodded and led Itachi Uchiha and the other Uchiha clan ninjas to the valley.
"Hiashi, your four squads from the Hyuga clan will each go to the four directions of Otogakure to keep watch and prevent anyone from escaping."
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Especially Orochimaru."
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Hiashi Hyuga immediately responded.
"Sealing Team, when Orochimaru is too busy to deal with you, you will use the Four Purple Flame Formation on him."
Tsunade continued.
One command after another was issued.
Tsunade demonstrated her abilities as Hokage, creating an impenetrable encirclement for Orochimaru.
"Lord Hokage, I have not failed you in your mission."
A moment later, Fugaku Uchiha and the others returned.
"Your Uchiha clan ninjas will come with us to Otogakure."
Tsunade nodded and said, "Let's move out!"
Upon receiving the order, the Jonin quickly dispersed and headed in four directions towards Otogakure.
After waiting for a moment, Tsunade leaped up and rushed into Otogakure at an extremely fast speed.
"who?"
The ninjas of the Hidden Sound Village discovered them.
Uchiha Itachi appeared in front of him in a flash.
A crimson hue flashed.
The ninjas of Otogakure were stunned.
He took out a kunai and slit his throat.
Tsunade ignored the Otogakure ninjas; her target was the Otogakure leader's building.
As soon as the target came into view, she immediately gathered chakra in her feet.
Painful feet!
Tsunade appeared in front of the Otogakure leader's building and then stomped down.
The terrifying force instantly shattered the ground, making the entire building appear to be on the verge of collapse.
"what's the situation?"
"Enemies!"
"Run!"
The Otogakure ninjas inside the building all ran outside.
"Orochimaru, get out here!"
Tsunade suddenly shouted.
Before her, the building could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed with a crash.
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that she was indeed a heroine among women.
The next second, a tremendous roar was produced.
But it wasn't caused by the building collapsing; rather, the ground cracked open, and a purple python, its entire body obscured, emerged from it.
It opened its mouth wide and bit Tsunade.
On its head stood a young man with long black hair.
He had pale skin, long, golden pupils, and blue comma-shaped earrings.
Orochimaru!
Tsunade clenched her fist and threw a punch.
Her fist landed on one of the purple python's teeth, shattering it into pieces.
"what!"
The purple python, also known as the Ten Thousand Snakes, let out a miserable scream.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tsunade leaped up and kicked Orochimaru.
"Tsunade, you're still the same as ever, your temper hasn't changed at all."
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he spat out a Kusanagi sword and slashed at Tsunade.
Tsunade quickly changed her move, stepping on the Kusanagi sword with her toes and retreating rapidly.
Manda has recovered.
Seeing Tsunade in mid-air, it slammed its tail down.
Kitazawa formed a hand seal, bit his thumb, and pressed it to the ground.
In an instant, a slug that was no less large than the Thousand Snakes appeared.
It saw the situation clearly and immediately stood in front of Tsunade.
When the serpent's tail struck its body, it immediately transformed into countless tiny slugs, without sustaining any injury.
The slugs regrouped in another place.
Tsunade landed on its head and said, "Thank you for your help, Lady Slug."
Seeing this, Kitazawa also jumped up and stood with Tsunade.
Why didn't you call Jiraiya?
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and the slug, feeling a pang of nostalgia.
